Date men from United States / Colorado, 44 year old

Date someone special from Colorado, United States. Wow. This seems a little bit like a high school essay - "Describe who and what you're looking for in 4000 characters, or less." Well, that last bit took care of about 120 of them. Now I guess I have to actually come up with something to say.
First and foremost, I'm looking for a friend. Any meaningful relationship has to start with that as the base. While I'm definitely looking for a long term relationship, I'm not looking to dive headfirst into one without first building a solid friendship. I'm a pretty independent person, and the woman I'm looking for needs to be the same. Someone who realizes that two people won't share all the same interests and passions, while appreciating that those differences add to a relationship, rather than detract from it. I think it's healthy for people to have interests and pursuits outside of those that are shared by a couple.
I'm looking for someone who has interests in life beyond the simply material. While everyone wants to be comfortable and have nice things, I'm not interested in acquiring things for the sake of it. Things on their own don't bring happiness. That's not to say that I don't care about financial gains in my career, I'm just not obsessed with it. I'm far more interested in doing something meaningful to me, than working at something I hate for a larger monetary gain. I'm looking for someone who is passionate about something, be it their job, hobbies, or personal beliefs. I want to be challenged and surprised, and I hope the person I'm with feels the same.
Spontaneity, creativity, and new experiences are key to a good relationship as well. To me, there's nothing worse than a relationship that quickly devolves into eating out at the local chain restaurant, followed by seeing the newest Hollywood movie, every week. Not that dinner and a movie can't be fun, but everything in moderation, including moderation. Colorado is a big place, and two people should be able to find plenty of new and exciting things to do for years.

Meet a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I'm a committed educator and passionate reader who hopes to inspire children to become life-long lovers of literature. I don't particularly enjoy the company of strangers and am not one to attend social gatherings, especially those where alcohol is served or where smokers congregate. I'm not particularly good at cultivating friends and don't naturally seek companionship. You're not going to meet me in a bar. I like cycling and I'm on my bike almost every day of the year. I also spend some time each day in the pool, on the trail or at home exercising. I'm attracted to fit women, confident in who they are and where they're going. If I have an ideal it is a petite brunette who wears eyeglasses, which I find particularly attractive. A big plus would be a woman who also likes to read and would share her interest in books with me. I'm not a family man, that is, I'm not deeply attached to my family, whose interests are far afield from mine. I'm not a devout believer in any religion but I appreciate the mythology of most. I enjoy my own company as much as I might enjoy sharing time with one other person whom I loved.

Recently moved here from Montana and hoping to meet someone interesting, kind, happy, honest, positive and AVAILABLE....I grew up in South Carolina and I've lived all over the US. My time in the military has allowed me to visit many countries all over the globe, but I usually don't leave the Rocky Mountains for long....I always come back....however, occasional trips to the beaches are mandatory.
I hope to meet someone that appreciates a kind, very open, and often romantic guy. I enjoy spending quite a bit of my time outdoors, both working and recreating. Hiking and exploring are also a favorite pasttime. I've learned to appreciate how much life has to offer, without losing sight of the fact that some of the most wonderful things in life are the most simple....
I have 3 amazing children that I adore.....truthfully, I enjoy all (most) children. I love their happiness, energy, creativity, beautiful open little minds.....and their unclouded outlook on life. I enjoy looking at life through a child's eyes....they always make me smile....

Meet a man from Colorado, United States. My kids, family, friends, and the outdoors are what make me the happiest. I am a single full time Dad, and wouldn't have it any other way. My son is 13 my daughter is 11 and they are truly great kids. I talk to my best friend every single day, and have an incredible group of friends that I value and appreciate. I love to cook for others and found out that food makes people happy...I am passionate about fishing, hunting, being outdoors and the Denver Broncos!
I work out regularly and would love to find someone that sees the value in at least attempting to stay healthy. Sometimes its easier than others...a great tasting meal is hard to pass up. Im driven to succeed at everything I do, and feel that if your going to do it, do it right! I am old fashioned, the kind of guy that opens the door for you and pulls your chair out as well. And I have done everything in my power to instill those basice values in my children. I have what I think is a great sense of humor and love to laugh...life is to short not to laugh everyday...the world just does not have to be taken so seriously.
I would love to find someone with old fashioned values, likes to hold hands and doesn't have a problem with public affection or letting those around them know how they feel. I love getting out but also love curling up next to a fire and watching a movie on the couch.
If any of this resonates with you give me a shout...I would love to hear from you.

Date someone special from United States. Originally from Chicago, I think I’m the stereotypical “nice guy” that often gets overlooked (if you're attracted to "players" then we won't have much to talk about). I’m easy-going, honest, and dependable and am truly appreciative of the opportunities I’ve been given. I try to make the most of every day and am passionate about trying to make a difference through both professional and personal interactions. My relationships with my friends/family and experiencing new things are high priorities, as such, I’m constantly looking for opportunities to grow and learn whether through travel, academic endeavors or meeting new people.
I’m interested in meeting an intelligent, confident woman who lives life with passion and integrity. She is emotionally healthy and available and although she has strong values, her curiosity and adventurous spirit allow her to be spontaneous and open-minded. My ideal match also has a great sense of humor (life is far too short not to enjoy it) and believes that romance is not a lost art. She seeks to obtain a healthy balance between her personal and professional pursuits and communicates openly and honestly. Individually, she is sincere, attentive and respectful of others; together we have a positive outlook on life and eagerly view each day as an opportunity, not a chore. Additionally, we share similar interests while being mindful of maintaining our respective identities. Since I also place a high priority on my relationships with family and friends, the desire to someday have a family is extremely important.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Quiet a long job but would try my best well I'm a friendly, sweet, attractive, pretty relaxed person, I have a passion for creativity, and a curiosity of people from backgrounds that are not my own. I choose friends that are introspective, kind, and lets me know when I'm being too serious!
I'm interested in meeting new people. I'm usually a bubbly person but can also be quiet depending on the company. I work on rigs, although I'm not a typical nerd! Like other people i do the usual, i drink moderately, i do smoke but trying to quit and i enjoy seeing lovely movies. I would love to meet a nice woman who is kind, honest and has a cute sense of humor. Starting as friends and then getting to know each other would be my delight. I desire a woman who is patient and a piece keeper. Respect is very important. A woman who takes family very important and can see a relationship as a two way street, one who will lend a shoulder when the other is down. I am willing to share life's joy and sorrows with that special woman. I am just a one man woman type of person and i am here in search of that woman with a heart of gold yet a simple woman at heart to be my best friend and soul mate.

Date single man from United States. Looking for a loving woman that will except me for my flaws and will help me be a better man/person. Must be friends before moving on to the next step. Must be able to understand each other without harsh arguing.

Meet a man from United States. Looking for a dedicated, honest, sincere, woman to start enjoying life again. all in all I'm very laid back with an awesome job that I really enjoy. Not into drama just want to share great times together and have fun in life.

. I have made some changes to my profile because I decided I’d rather be transparently honest about myself, having faith that the right person will read it, and not try to market myself as someone I am not. I am driven to achieve what I want from life, while giving back where and when I can. I have started my journey to understanding my life’s purpose; however, I am a people-person and I would much rather experience the journey with the right person.
I'm a modest man who values honesty, communication, intelligence, mutual respect and appreciation, and an open mind. I value the importance of family. I am laid back and appreciate the lighter side of life. Life will always send us curve balls that cause us to be serious, emotional, angry, afraid, and intense, but I'm pretty good at hitting curve balls. I have an open and witty sense of humor. When I'm with friends and family, I'm always smiling or laughing, or making others laugh. I enjoy trying and doing new things. I enjoy getting outdoors and experiencing the beauty around us, which we often let pass us by in our lives. Whatever it is, keeping an open mind is key.
My friends consider me a very kind, reliable, warm-hearted and giving person, who is always fun to be around. I love to cook and I find it very rewarding to cook a big meal for friends and family. I really like traveling in all its forms, even the serenity of a good road trip (just got back from one with my son - excellent). I have traveled and lived from coast to coast and have lived in Cameroon and Mexico. Whenever possible, the beach is my destination location and, for me, there aren’t many things much more relaxing than warm sand and cool, salty water.
I look forward to sharing my time, my thoughts and feelings, and my life experiences with a woman who is looking for the same. I want a partner who inspires me to be the best person I can be, and expects the same inspiration from me. I’m looking for a serious relationship and not just hooking up. For me, trust is the basis for respect and appreciation, enduring physical intimacy, and open, two-way communication.
You can expect me to treat you with respect; to listen when no one else will; to nudge you when you’re uncertain about your next step; to hold your hand so you know someone is there; and to be there for you when life is not so kind. As for now, I’m just an email away. If you’ve gotten this far and are not the least bit interested, I wish you the best in your search for your right person.

. The short version:
I have good values, personality and sense of humor. I'm healthy and fit, but don't live in the gym. I'm a man with a good work ethic, but don’t make work my entire life. I prefer a casual lifestyle and at times, I can get wild and crazy.I grow up in Las Vegas Nevada; become a Firefighter / Paramedic for seven years and eight years later nMD. I presently work in the wind energy field as a occupational health safety and rescue consultant.
Best things:
Spending time with my beautiful 15 Yrs. little girl Molly, (When she lets me, Teenagers?) Dog park and watching my little dog "Shelby" show off, Going to the gym 2 time a week or more, Cooking breakfast on the week end, Relaxing by watching my tropical fish swim around, Early morning swim in the buff, Reading non faction books(I watch limited TV), Having a strawberry and banana smoothie in the morning, and Going to service (became inactive after my last relationship...hard to go to church and hear all about family and marriage when I did not have it. However, would like to rejoin with that special person),
For fun:
I enjoy listing and dancing to most music (80’s and 90’s, R B, soft rock and Contemporary Jazz), going to the first day a movie comes out, go to live concert at the spear of the moment, watching a old black and white movie, back yard barbeque (Texas style, slow smoked), short week end trips to unknown places, traveling to Hawaii, St. Thomas VA, Jamaica, anywhere tropical, going to PBR/NFR rodeo, mount biking along the lake shore, going to any lake, horse back riding, camping up in the high country or just being outside enjoying god’s green earth.
PS. Did, I tell you? I'm a killer back yard barbequer.... My home is in Las Vegas Nevada, but I travel alot. Presently in Pueblo, CO
Thank you for reading this and all the best.
First Date
This time of year, it should be at the lake, cold mohito in one hand and a BBQ rib in the other :-)
As of 7-24-2013; I've now been on a few dates. I have found the pictures posted on Match profiles, are not the same women picture on their profile. Men are visional, if you start a relationship misleading me, it’s not going to work out. Be honest, I will.
Never Lie, Cheat or Steal ! But, If you must.....LIE IN THE ARMS OF A LOVER. CHEAT DEATH and STEAL MOMENTS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY !!!

. i want to meet someone who is willing to take a chance, have fun and adventure and is looking for someone to be attracted and nice to. i am a very fun person looking for someone that is looking for a likeminded woman looking for laughs. i am looking for someone to explore the world with.
Let me hear from you.

. Hello!
Welcome to my profile.
The facts:
44, no kids. Own my own business; it's a startup, selling modern furniture. Moved to Colorado last March, thrilled to be closer to my family who all live here, Spent the last 6 years moving here and there and everywhere for work (and once for relationship).
I have a dog named 'Buck'. I run 10-20 miles a week, and am outdoors as much as possible, love to hike, kayak, etc. I try to eat right (I have a background as a chef) but misstep occasionally. I love red wine. I am a bit of a romantic. I adore banter, wit, belly laughs, goofiness. I am a cup half full kinda guy. Looking for a partner, a relationship; and knowing you never know where you are going to find it. (Why not here?) I have a 4 year old niece who repeatedly calls me "silly"...and shakes her head.
I am looking for someone who is intelligent, but also smart; funny and of course cute. You have a bit of an athletic side.
You like staying in as much as going out, because time well spent is always enjoyable, no matter the location.
You wear whatever makes you comfortable, and it shows in your confidence.
You are looking for a relationship, partnership, friendship.
I look forward to hearing from you!
