Meet single man from California, United States. Thanks for checking out my profile. I am enthusiastic, positive, outgoing, energetic, honest, straight forward and stable...
I like to eat out, entertain at home, go to concerts, good conversation about anything, good food, good wine, good music and art of any style.
I have the greatest job one could ever wish for and that keeps me very positive. I run a music publishing company for artists, songwriters, TV and film composers. I am also, a published author of over a dozen books.
I am looking for someone independent who has a life and a career of her own, but who can also make time for a relationship. Someone positive, genuine, outgoing, independent and emotionally stable.
... And finally, my screen name is not my real name and these are not shades I'm wearing, I just like my glasses tinted so I don't have to always look for my shades... I also included a picture without glasses :)

Date men and women from California, United States. Previously owned, slightly used 47 year-old-male. . . all original parts, little body work required, and still runs well! Very few leaks and recently passed an 87 point inspection (that's what happens when you reach the age of 40 and get a physical exam. . . just wish they'd warmed the glove and could have at least bought me dinner and a movie first.) Passed smog inspection (I don't smoke) and only requires a few fluids to be topped off every now and then (I drink socially.)
I have been blessed with 3 wonderful boys and have learned a few bits of wisdom over the years about raising children:
1) Never let a 5-yr-old use electric dog shears. The good news is the Vet said the dog had been PREVIOUSLY neutered and the thing we found rolling on the floor was just an old grape.
2) If a diaper goes through the wash cycle, it makes a really big mess. Also if you try to clean it up, it will clog a wet/dry shop vac.
3) If the package of diapers says it's for 8 - 12 pounds, that's really all it will hold before you should consider changing it immediately
So if you have made it this far, you are either enjoying my warped sense of humor, or are one of those people that slows down traffic on the 210 freeway looking at an accident on the opposite side and creating a 3 mile backup. . .ugh!
But all joking aside (well OK, maybe not all. . .) here are the Cliff Notes about me: I am a computer programmer by trade (and for those of you who are casual computer users, computers are not meant to be a tool to help you make the same stupid mistakes over and over in a more efficient manner). I really enjoy outings (and by outings I mean something like mini-vacations or weekend getaways, not your second cousin's twice removed decision to let everyone know he's decided to live an alternative life style). I am a gourmet chef (passion of mine, you gotta eat so you might as well eat great food.) I am a dog person, however I do like cats (they taste like chicken) . . . (attention PETA: no cats were actually harmed/eaten during the making of this profile.)
I am looking for a girl who is just as comfortable hanging out by the BBQ drinking a beer and wearing jeans and a t-shirt, as she is wearing high heels and cocktail dress while enjoying champagne and caviar. She is easy going and comfortable with herself and does not try to over analyze/over think every situation. She has a strong sense for family, and a caring soul. She is spontaneous and does not sweat the small stuff. She preferably has all her own teeth, does not have an ex's name tattooed on her rear, and never been on a Tru TV video or the Jerry Springer show.
If you have made it this far and wasted the last few minutes of your life on me already. . . why not send me an email?
Anything else about myself is probably just like the same crap as everybody else. . . blah blah blah.
Life is too short so one should strive to always make the most of it, and in some ways, your perception of things is what really matters. For instance, it's okay to be a pessimist. . . you are either going to be proven right, or you will end up being pleasantly surprised. . . see, all in the perception :)

I am very easy going and like the simpler things in life. I love the outdoors and anything that gets my adrenaline going (like skydiving), I especially love cruising, camping and travelling to almost anywhere. ( Alaska, Cabo, N.Y., Hawaii, Wyoming, Florida) to name a few! I love eating out, but would love a good home cooked meal too! I am not subscribed but can get winks.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Like the rest of us here there is no way this little box can tell you who I am, but I will give it a go.
I love the outdoors, from playing all sorts of sports, attending games or just spending a day walking around one of the great cities in this area. I was born and raised in the bay area and it still amazes me all the different things there are to do here. I love spending a great day in the city, either finding a little out of the way place or doing the tourist thing.
I love to travel and hope to find that partner who also enjoys it. I have been lucky enought to spend time in Paris, London and New Zealand and would love to go to Italy and Asia. But it's also hard to argue with a romantic week in Hawaii.
I have a relatively large family and we all get along and really enjoy spending time together.
I believe that honesty, open communication, romance and laughter are key for any relationship....and there has to be that spark....that something that cannot be explained.
I believe in chivalry! Opening the door at all times. Ordering dinner for the lady (after she has told me what she wants). And yes, I expect to pay when we go out. I also enjoy doing little things so my lady knows that she is special to me.
I dont really have a type, but I do know if it's there or if it's not and I am sure you all know what I mean.
Photos are coming soon as I just bought a new laptop and need to get all the photos transferred....I also need some new ones as I dont want to put up photos that are too old....just not fair. The photo that I posted is about as recent as it can be as it was taken on opening day 2012.
Here's hoping that I find that special lady and that you find that special man....maybe you are just what I have been looking for!

Date a man from United States. I love life! I'm the guy that wakes up in the morning with a great attitude, and can't wait to take the day on! That could be anything from a day at the office, a round of golf, working out at the gym meeting friends for dinner or just relaxing at home. I'm always up for something new and different, and would love to meet a woman with the same adventurous spirit. I know life isn't all about fun, and I've always been a very driven man professionally. My career is very important to me, and I've been fortunate to have had a high level of success. I leave it at the office though, and I don't think I've spent 40 hours in the office in any week for 5 years.
Originally from the midwest, and still have those great midwest roots! I've lived in Denver, Chicago, San Francisco and LA before moving here two years ago for my business. It's been quite a change!! Living in a small town and having a three minute commute to my office is pretty nice though!
I'd love to meet a woman that is happy, healthy and emotionally available. None of us have gotten here without a few scars, but hopefully they've taught you how to do it better the next time.
Though I never had children, I love kids!! I was married for 10 years, but we weren't able to have children.
My pics are all from the past 6 months...

Meet someone special from United States. I'm humanoid until the sun sets and then I turn into an animal. I like down to earth women who love to sky dive from space. Also kind, compassionate and open-minded women are the best I love to travel especially somewhere warm without CNN. I can cook, ski, scuba, sleep and play parcheesi all at the same time. I am a retired mental patient who is undefeated at shuffleboard. (I cheat like hell)
Ok, I'm actually a writer/producer guy who is in LA to claw my way to the top. The top of what exactly I don't know.
Laughter is everything. I hate drama. I like peace, tranquility, Yoga, being in the "now". I love all that crap. I really have NO EXPECTATIONS from this except making new friends and having fun.
Being around smart, charming, engaging women is all the reason I need to keep the journey going.
Are you game?
