Date men and women from California, United States. I don't know what I'm gonna do with 200 characters, I mean 140 was hard enough to fill. I tried looking at the examples for this, but nothing really helped. Oh my, it looks like the 200 minimum is just about finished. I realized I didn't really say anything useful here, but hey, that's life.
Meet a man from California, United States. I often keep to myself. While I do make friends easily, I don't have many close friends. I am loyal, trusting/trust worthy, and am usually easy to talk to/with. I am, at times, quite stubborn. I have been called a hopeless romantic on several occasions.
I try to go to the gym several times a week.
I have a niece who just turned 1, who I just adore. I try to visit her whenever I can. She has the most beautiful smile that I have ever seen.
I currently work at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. On any given day, I can be found doing things like taking care of historical artifacts, running the museum/visitor center and teaching kids how to pan for gold.
I really enjoy going on hikes and camping. One thing that I would like to do again is hike somewhere in the wilderness and camp out for a night or two (where doing so is allowed, of course).
What am I looking for in a relationship? Hmm...well, the usual, I suppose. I MUST be able to trust the woman that I am in the relationship with. Without trust (and loyalty), there is no grounds for the relationship. I prefer small gestures of affection, like a smile that indicates how we feel about each other, a quick peck on the cheek, holding hands, those kind of things.
I prefer a woman who doesn't wear makeup on a daily basis. As on of my friends put it, wearing makeup is essentially false advertising. If she enjoys going on hikes, camping or fishing, that's a plus.
Date people from Cameron Park, United States. I'm a bit of an anomaly, but then again who isn't? I joke around way too much and prefer to take life a little less seriously than the rest of those crazy commuters out there!
I've never been married (did get engaged when I was in the Marine Corps but was too young), have no kids (or at least none that I know of) and have an affinity to rescuing Rotts. Don't have any Rotts in my life right now because that's the anomaly part! I live in Cameron Park, a little town up the hill from Folsom and spend a good amount of time in the Bay Area for work. Yes I get to work at home sometimes too, but usually get down to the bay about once a week (Mtn View area). Thought it best to hang it out there now, rather than go on some diatribe about my life ha ha!
Interested to learn more? Well don't be shy, call right now and we'll throw in a free set of steak knives ;)
If any of that has piqued your interest, fire over a note. Good luck!
Meet a man from California, United States. The most important thing I'm looking for in a woman is that she knows where she is at in her life. We all seem to be divorced on here so I hope you have put it behind you, taken some time to realize what you want, and are truly ready for this new chapter in your life "I have and I am". There needs to be a strong connection/chemestry between us as well as a physical attraction. I would like someone who is a healthy and active, you don’t have to ride a dirt bike with me just need to get out of the house. The rest we can figure out in conversation very quickly.
I think of myself as a very simple person, I can pick up and go at the last minute or plan a trip just as easy. I do like being spontaneous though, tends to be more exciting, don’t be surprised if I call and say “pack a bag I’ll be there in an hour”. I’ll tell you the dress for the weekend but that’s about it. I’m a big flirt with my girl love teasing and playing around, very affectionate I’ll sneak up behind you and surprise you with a big hug and probably a bit more.
I enjoy being outside kids sports, riding dirt bikes, hunting, and being healthy. Love camping, quick weekend or day trips up to Union Valley/Ice house area whenever I can squeeze them in, longer if possible, day hikes, bike rides, Folsom lake with my Lab. Houseboats over Tropical destinations, I enjoy traveling around the states there is so much to see in our own back yard. The weekend trips to Tahoe, San Francisco, Vegas, or even Sac are a must too.
I’m a single Dad, my daughter is 13 and a comp soccer player this is year round. My boy 10 is in football and when he’s not he just wants to be with me. I have them every other week and I’m very involved in their lives and enjoy spending time with them.
Well there are the cliff notes on me.
Good luck in your search.
Date men and women from California, United States. I love the out doors no matter the weather, nature fascinates me. Random acts of kindness brings a smile to my face. I like people who look at life as an adventure and there is nothing that can stop you from enjoying what ever your heart desires.
There is much I won't try. Some people ask why , I say why not ? I would like to meet a person who is like minded and is not afraid to grab life by the horns and experiance new adventures and feelings, Life is way to short....Also I am interested in dating to get to know you and to laugh and share with a friend and maybe something more. I'm a very simple man and easy going , I really love to laugh and I love great conversation about anything sharing is very important to me and honesty . If you would like to get to know more about me please contact me . I am a private person ( shy perhaps ) .
Thank you for taking the time to read ;-)
Meet people from Cameron Park, United States. Hi, thank you for stopping by. I've been at this a few months now. If your looking for an easy going, down to earth friendly guy, I might be it ;). I am a little shy but I get over it easily with the right person. I am old fashioned. I believe in opening the door for a lady, stopping to help when I see someone in trouble, and the man pays for dinner. It would be nice to have someone to go to the movies with or a good hike and see where the trail leads us. My friends would describe me as honest, fun and insightful. I earn my living as a software engineer but my real job is a dad.
I make a good living and do own my own house but if your into corvettes and nice boats, I'm not your guy. My midlife crisis went by and all I got for it was an old jeep.
What do I like, humm I like dancing (although I'm not very good at it). Currently taking East Cost Swing lessons and its sooo much fun ; ), I like hiking, I like music, corny songs of love and romance (my son says my music is "crap". I think that's teenagereze for "really great":)). I like waking up on the side of a mountain in the cool morning air with a cup of cowboy coffee. (I'll bring along a little Starbucks instant for you if you come along).
I had a hard time deciding if I should consider myself a widower or divorced. Actually I'm both. After my first wife passed away, I got married way too soon. I guess that gives me a little bit different perspective than most. I know what it is to have a perfect marriage and also a not so perfect one.
I have two teenage boys that are my most precious gifts from God. Newsflash on my 16 year old: We are heading for the Jr. Olympics in Baltimore. My son qualified in the 800m, 1500 and is ranked #22 in the nation in the 3000m run. ;) I'll update my profile in a couple of weeks with the results.
I am physically fit (my boys keep me that way). I can carry a 40lb pack fifteen miles into the middle of nowhere and set up a nice camp. My screen name doesn't really fit me. There is a story behind that name and if you get to know me, I'll tell you about it.
What am I looking for? I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid of the rain, a smile that lights up the room, a laugh that makes the whole world laugh, someone who's worth fighting for.
Since you've taken the time to read this far, I'll let you in a little farther into my personal life. I lost the love of my life 16 years ago when my second son was born. I know what it is to love someone completely and unconditionally. To completely lose sight of where you end and she begins. God took her away from me and although I know that his ways are far above my ways, I still have not quite forgiven him for that. I’ve made plenty of mistakes since then but a have learned to be happy with where I am and that has made all the difference.
My story sounds sad and I only include it here for the sake of honesty and to let you know who I really am. I am a glass is half full kind of guy. I go out every weekend with a great bunch of friends and believe me, we know how to have fun ;)
A note I wrote on my facebook page and try to remember for myself:
"Don’t let past mistakes and bad experiences from yesterday define who you are today. All of the should haves and shouldn’t haves will put you so far in debt to yourself that you will never get out. Every day is a new day with a clean slate. Make the most of it."
Some people say that true love comes once in a lifetime. I'm starting to think that's true. Hope that someone comes by and convinces me that it's not.
If I was to write up a resume of my life, there would be quite a few technical accomplishments that I could list but those would pale in comparison to raising two boys into fine young men.
I would love to get an email from you, even if you're just passing by. I really hope you find what you are looking for.
Date people from Cameron Park, United States. Grew up in north Florida and spent most of my life there. Moved to Colorado but couldn't get the sand out of my soul. Moved back, raised a family, daughters in college, divorced and starting over.
I love a good meal with stimulating conversation, enjoy a good play, like to think I can dance, have been told I sing good, and enjoy trying things for the first time.
I'm looking for someone to not only orient me to the fun side of town but who also wants to feel the joy that life has to offer. Someone who knows that life is good in spite of all the crap that comes our way, as I have learned. Someone who will make my life fuller than it already is just by having spent time with them.
I know that life has a lot of really great events in store for me and want to share those good times with the right person. Are you the one? Only one way to find out.
Meet a man from United States. Right now my life is pretty simple. I cook and clean. I fix things that break.
I would love to have a woman who can complicate (want my time) and compliment my life! I miss the occasions to again spoil (with limits) my love.
Having been single for 6 years and helping my daughter grow I am now, ready to bring fun with "the one" back into my life. I want to go to live music, go to SF's North Beach for a grand dinner, do some camping, learn how to fish again, race my bicycle again (ok it's hard work and suffering) and maybe even climb Mt Shasta again.
About my partner;
I Iwant her to speak her mind freely and act on her own ideas. It would also be nice if she enjoyed riding her bicycle and could do so for more than an hour at a time. Hopefully we will keep eachother just busy enough to find lots of joyful fun!
I love to take animated, quick trips that come to mind while driving home from work on Friday. (weekends in Calistoga or Monterey)
I hope she will tolerate my poor dancing skills and teach me to do it better. I will sing to her!
Emotional and physical kindness and romantic tenderness will be her reward.
PS; I have the wonderful (and challenging) job of raising my daughter during the school year.She just turned 10! She is gone for 10 weeks each summer, 2 weeks for Christmas and 1 week for spring break so that is a lot of free time to have fun together!
Date single man from United States. I moved to Ca. to help my mother with her health and financial needs. It was better than sending her to a nursing home. I now live in Cameron Park with her bird. She also needed my help with fixing the back wall of her home. Being a carpenter by trade I was able to fix it and stop the leak that had been there since the home was built. This was causing her health problems because of mold. I felt it was my duty to fix this and I did. The repair was major, but it is now complete. Today is Feb. 8th 2011 and it saddens that today my mother has passed away.
My biggest accomplishment was designing the plumbing system for the Ambassador, it is a thirteen story high rise in Chicago's Gold district. My ACAD drawings made it through the City of Chicago the first time through. Yeah!!! Enough about my situation.
I am looking for a woman that likes to take walks and hold hands. A woman that I can look into her eyes and know that she is the most important part of my life.
I have found that woman that I am looking for and am no longer a member of match and cannot return any e-mails or winks. If you should find me interesting I thank you and encourage you to keep looking, love does happen on this site and I am proof of that. 6/18/12

Date men and women from California, United States. I'm energetic,well educated, athletic, and have a lot of hobbies. I enjoy eating out, traveling, dancing, going to concerts, the outdoors, and sports of any kind. I love kids (wish I had some of my own actually). I have a great hilltop home with a romantic view of both the Sacramento lights, Mount Diablo, and the Sierras and I'm close to highway 50 near Cameron Park. If I find the right woman I'd be open to a permanent or long term relationship but just a good time is ok with me also. If you would like to meet a good man who knows how to have a good time and is still responsible and stable get in touch. I generally like younger more active women because I have a high energy level and a younger attitude.
Meet a man from California, United States. Hello there and thank you for viewing my profile;)
Here is a short bio on me, then I will let you know what I am looking for today! I am a perfect mix of nice guy and bad boy;) I am a solid man, a successful business owner, have three grown men (my kids) that I love and adore. I am recently single and looking to live life to it's fullest again. I spent the last decade with one woman and we decided our adventure was fullfilled. I am financially solvent so finances don't factor into my thought process too much. My typical day is waking up to have a cup of coffee and a cigarette, then hopping into my golf cart and venturing off to my country club to play golf with the guys. After our round we settle up our bets over a drink or two, and I head home. In the past it was for a nice meal usually spent with a couple friends.
Now to the present day! I still start my mornings and spend my day as I mentioned above. I love my life, it is just how I like to spend my time. The new caviat of course is that my evenings would be much better spent with a companion to make my day perfect. I think we all feel this way, we want to have our great day then spend the evenings with the truest of pleasures. Today I am looking to start with minimul expecations or pressure...I haven't dated in nearly two decades. While this may put me in the light of being a timid, don't be fooled...I am a true alpha male! I would love to be the host up front. I would prefer to have someone come over, make a great meal for them and get to know each other. I own a magnificent home and the environment is wonderful....my preference would be to be in a comfortable place in the beginning, and if sparks fly will be more than willing to take flight on some great adventures once we find our comfort with one another.
I would like to add a few things more. I am a ton of fun, my laugh is truly contagious and I laugh often. I spent many years with a lady that was more than a handful, fiscally irresponsible and prefer someone who is grounded and fun. As much as I have enjoyed my life and still do, I would really love to spend time with a woman who is incredibly fun, loving and who has very minimul drama. In my opinion and in my world, life shouldn't be complicated...there is so much fun to be had every day! I welcome the one spectacular woman who knows how to enjoy life every day...and if you are her please don't hesitate to get in touch!
~One Cool Cat, Daddio
P.S. I am and will always be a kid at heart, and I am looking for someone youthful...a partner in crime so to speak;)
