Date men from United States / California / Santa Monica, 33 year old

Date a man from California, United States. First, a disclaimer: I moved from Santa Monica up to Valencia for a career change a couple of years ago, but I miss westside normalcy, so I’m shopping to buy a condo somewhere down there. Be back soon. In the meantime, I’ll do the driving, unless you’re dyin’ to have dinner in the restaurant chain capital of the world.
In general, I like to kick life's arse.
Professionally...
The medical sciences have fascinated me since my first college neuroscience class. I bucked med school though, and went on a little odyssey. When I taught 8th grade science in Spanish Harlem for two years, I discovered that paychecks were important, but that I would nevertheless envy non-profit workers for the rest of my days. When I worked in biotech, I discovered that intangible molecules, however powerful, kinda bore me. (And then!) I sold a surgical navigation system that enabled brain surgeons to yank out tumors through the nose instead of boring a massive hole thru the skull; this saved patients a two-week hospital stay… And got me hooked on medical devices. After that I sold skin for burn patients and fell deeper in love with the industry. I left sales and went into marketing / product development / sales training for a lil’ orthopedic company up here in Valencia about two years ago. We make some pretty awesome stuff that I become more proud of every day. I am getting an MBA, part-time, at UCLA. This kicks my ass 40 weeks a year, but I love it. Learning a ton, and my classmates are exceptionally bright, good people. Long-term, I will be a sales and marketing exec working with game changing technologies in the medical device arena.
Physically…
I have a presence in any room. I am tall, strong and fit. My eyebrows will blow your mind.
Socially…
My undergrad buddies are really spread out around the country and my high school pals are mostly down in OC. So until I went back to school, my LA crew was pretty small. Now it’s ridiculously large, which keeps things really fresh. Once in a while I’m the life of the party guy, but most of the time, I prefer hanging out with small groups of people, having good convo and lots of laughs. I am a real smartass and enjoy sharing my time with other smartasses.
Hobbies…
I’m a music junkie—mostly rock. (Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beasties, all things Jack White, the Shins, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, the Doors, Nirvana, Mumford and Sons, Bon Iver… I think you get the idea: I like white guys with guitars). I go to lots and lots of shows. I used to read lots and lots of literature, but that’s the last thing I want to do these days with all the biz school reading. I get pretty fired up for Vandy sports and the NY Mets, but I spend a lot more time being an athlete than I do watching them.
Athletically…
Played football in high school. I was an offensive guard, which means you’ll be safe with me. A few years ago I became obsessed with triathlons. A back injury put me in the ER though and ultimately forced me to take a couple years off to heal. So now I just do the swim and the bike—no mo’ runnin. Doing these “Half-Iron Aquabikes” (1.2 mile swim 56 mile bike) now. Just finished a race in Portland and I’ll do two more later this summer in Tahoe and LA. Crossing the finish line is perfect elation—beyond any pleasure I have ever known. (A two-encore Pearl Jam show is a potential exception).
YOU:
You’re smart. Attractive. Kind. Down to earth. Reading this really novella didn’t tire your brain at all. ;) If you don’t love and want kids, hit the back button honey. You are either really busy and/or independent. (If you tend to sit at home pining for your boyfriends … back button. I’m awfully busy, but will make time if I meet the right girl).
Good luck with your search!

Date someone special from California, United States. I've studied, traveled, am independent, registered to vote and I manage my life well. I have a positive disposition, am easy-going and patient. I am fun to be around, a good listener, and will open the door for you. I enjoy being outdoors, I am athletic, and have traveled extensively.
I have many interests. I have restored old cars, taught english in a Tibetan camp, drank Guiness and downed oysters in a gastropub in London, and hiked from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe.
You won't have to worry about introducing me to anyone because I've got a good social barometer and get along with almost everyone I meet. I am not looking for a casual thing, but for a great friend who I have good chemistry with and a strong connection.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am a teacher and i love my job!!
I love being outside in the sun. The beach or the pool it doesn't much matter.
When I'm not at the beach, pool, or working.... I enjoy movies, time with friends!!
I love my life; but it would be nice to have someone to share it with. Someone to hangout with, to see the world!!

Date a man from United States. Recent East Coast professional new to the area that enjoys fitness, hiking, wine tasting, dining out and hanging out on the beach. I'm looking for someone who is active and likes to have fun. Also has a good sense of humor and witty personality.

Meet single man from United States. I'm a laid-back, easy-going, albeit sensitive nice guy with an edge who could have long passionate conversations about food. I am serious and professional at work, but I'm a kid at heart that loves to make others laugh and be silly and goofy. Family and friends are very important to me, and so I give them 100% and expect that in return. I'm pretty versatile and get along with all kinds of different people in my life and at my work, whether it's socioeconomically or ethnically. To keep the hungry fat boy inside me contained, I try to eat healthy most of the time and workout frequently, play basketball and tennis, or go on a hike, in addition to all sorts of other activities.
I've traveled through much of the U.S. and several other countries but there are still a lot of countries and continents to go on my to-do list, and maybe a few more exotic foods to try. But after swallowing a beating cobra heart in Vietnam, I've stopped trying to imitate Andrew Zimmern or Anthony Bourdain.. If I could find my Amazing Race companion to jet set around the world with, and not want to kill each other in the process, life would be sweet!
My ideal girl is someone caring, affectionate, open-minded, easy-going, fun, spontaneous, considerate, and beautiful on the inside and out. Ultimately, I want to settle down with my best friend, my partner in crime. And if you feel like we'd get along, don't be shy, message me first! :)

Date someone special from United States. I make films for a living, which is my reason for living. :) Some other things that I like: Telling stories, writing jokes, taking chances. I tend to be more of the reckless, plow-ahead type. I enjoy traveling and I've been all over the place. I live in a great neighborhood that's fun to take walks in. I love hanging out at LACMA and LA's historical areas. I know a lot of very random facts. I think guys should be gentlemen and not dress like they're 13-years-old. I like mid-century design and architecture, indie rock, and late night diners. I watch TONS of movies and stay up on the big TV shows.
Personal quote of the moment: Fortune favors the bold.
