About Me

Prologue:Full disclosure, I’m just a regular guy looking for an extra-ordinary girl. Most of the experiences mentioned below required no skill, I just walked out the front door and did it. In fact, I’ But not watching TV, unless downloaded HBO counts.... *** the guy your mom warned you about, but hey, you never listened to her anyway. Love designing and building stuff, travel, cooking, golf, and drinking red wine and scotch. Buckle up. My friends call me when they need a favour, or is it a round of ruthless sarcasm, who can be sure? Enjoy my career which lets me travel all over the lower mainland, but realize there is so much more to this Canadian life. Life is a journey with no fixed destination and one should always be open to the possibilities. I have two awesome kids who I have with me part of the time but still lots of time for that special someone. I am looking for someone to date, not a mom for my kids, they already have a great one. Don’ I like to build stuff out of wood but most of my projects end up a little smaller than the blueprints, until they invent a board stretcher. Worked in earthquake re-construction in Japan for a year. It was a remarkable experience to work abroad & have the opportunity to explore another culture, plus for bonus points Osaka has a beer vending machine every 10 feet. One of my memorable long trips spanned from Kathmandu to Kuta Beach and included getting kicked off Mt. Was in the Exuma Cays last winter- brilliant Caribbean at its best! Love off the beaten path adventure but not opposed to a last minute cheap package getaway to the dirty south. That is, if it’s ***and the city is Budapest.On a typical weekend I am down for almost anything. Love wandering aimlessly in a previously unbeknownst part of town, gallery hopping, live theatre or a concert (a few faves from this year: Craigslist Cantata, Lumineers, Stereophonics), going for a hike (avec pic-a-nic & Catch the odd Whitecaps game live, sports on TV, no thanks. Contrary to popular belief, I am not solely an activity dynamo, and have been known to lounge occasionally, preferably with an old Kubrick/ Scorsese/ Stone/ Linklater flic, some cheese/grapes/chips&dip a big bold red or small batch brew, and mutual foot massages.Quotes I value: •Have the right tools for the job and you are 80% there (me) •I subscribe to the law of contrary public opinion. If everyone thinks one thing, then I say bet the other way.•Nec timo nec supremo (neither fear nor despair). Not sure this translates but a bro wrote it in my highschool yearbook like that ••I never did mind about the little things. (PONR- great movie) •The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese (anon) •It is what it is. (me again) •The cure for anything is saltwater. Sweat, tears, or the sea. (Isaak Dinesen)You should message me if: You are curious about the world around you. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You are generally happy. The rest is negotiable. As long as we click we don’t need to have all the same interests; boring! Love to be inspired by new ideas with interesting people.So if you are an independent, intelligent, sexy, happy, adventurous lower mainland girl, don’t just sit there, drop me a line and lets blow this popsicle stand! bevvies, beach, etc.

    Man. 42 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 39-49

    I am looking for a good woman to share in life's adventures. Someone genuine and sincere. I am interested in meeting a truly wonderful person. Someone who wants to spend time with me and is comfortable being herself around me. Someone to enjoy life with. I don't think that is too much to ask for. I currently do not have any pets, but only because my last dog had past away and I have not replaced him yet. But I am fine if you have pets (I really like them!). I am also fine with dating someone who has kids. I have a daughter that lives with me part time and I understand the whole dating/parenting balance.As for me, I have a great job, so you won't hear me complain about my work. I'm financially secure and I have my act together so no issue there either. I am definitely not a high-maintenance kind of guy in any way. I will treat you with respect. I can bake! I can bake some pretty awesome desserts - my family and friends tell me that my chocolates are the BEST! I stay in shape and I exercise/jog on a regular basis. I believe in being honest/upfront and I don't play games. Did I mention that I am nice, funny and friendly also? It's crazy, I know!:-) I am open to different options/possibilities. Meeting for drinks, coffee or dinner is easy and comfortable.

    Man. 41 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 38-48

    I'm a somewhat recently separated father of four who never planned on hitting the dating scene at the age of 40, so I plan to start slowly (friends, casual dating, etc). That being said, I'm also open to whatever comes along. Basically, I'm trying to keep my mind open but my expectations grounded. By the way, I'm following the little meetville guidlines for this section, so if it's lame, or boring, or scripted...or if it in any way sucks...try to overlook it and withhold judgement. I'm career-oriented and love what I do, but nothing is more important than my family. My days start and end with the kids...getting them off to school in the mornings, and cooking dinner and helping with homework at night. I do take a lot of satisfaction in the fact that the kids are well fed with home-cooked meals and a lot of freshly baked bread (most of the time!). I also enjoy reading (mostly non-fiction, particularly history) and watching movies with the kids. I love the outdoors and used to enjoy hiking, camping, and canoeing, but haven't done much of any of these in a while. Hopefully I would find someone who might like to do some of these things together. Museums are cool, but I also like going out for dinner and drinks, and love to play pool and darts. And golf. I like golf, without being obsessed with it.Music? It would be easier to say what I don't like: modern country. I pretty much like everything else.What makes me unique? Maybe the fact that I'm nowhere near as boring as this description makes me sound. I'm actually a lot of fun once you get to know me...I'm really nice, and maybe not the first person you'd notice in a group, but I'm surprisingly fun, too. I think my ideal first date would be a drink and a game of pool. Or maybe a Walleye or Mudhens game. A coffee or lunch date would probably be alright, but sometimes I picture that being almost like an interview (which maybe it is, in a way). Honestly though, it's whatever you'd like. I'm really looking forward to meeting someone cool, and ultimately the venue will be far less important than the person I'm sharing it with (I hope!).
