Thornton's Local Dating Service

My names Amanda. I like listening to people rant about random stuff, and would prefer not to talk too much about myself. If you would like to know more though, send me a message.

I'm your standard 20-something working and trying to figure out my life. I love trying just about anything once, and will glady try new things. I like going to museums, art galleries, movies, the zoo, going on hikes and outdoor trips, basically just about anything. I particularly enjoy a good book, a good movie, and good company. If you're looking for someone to talk to, hang out with, or something more, I think you've found them.

This is the place that I will put a self-summary when I write one, but I haven't yet so I am putting in this text for the time being to hold this space.

Hi! I haven't written an essay yet because I joined OkCupid very recently. This space is where I'll express myself soon though. If you'd like to know more about me, please send me a message. This is the default essay OkCupid fills in for new users who haven't written about themselves yet.

This thing is telling me I need a self-summary. I don't know what to put here. I'm 23, I'm going to college but still not entirely sure what I want to major in, and I've been told I'm quite the smartass. I sing in the car... badly... and don't care if people in other cars see me. However, getting me to sing in public or with the radio off is like pulling teeth. Most people who know me think I have ADD. I'm something of an optimistic pessimist if that makes sense. You'd probably have to get to know me and figure things out on your own to find out much more; like a lot of people I'm horrible at describing myself.

Bliss: Tempus Fugit

Wood, metal, glass and glue
A perfect machine among things used
I'm told it's tested, tried, and true
But nothing here is absolute

Lonely it was the machine of yore
I'd seen them back when I was four
I pulled at my mind to make it go
Not so easy as I thought before

Wheels, posts, gears, and nuts
Tubes, ratchets, strikes, and hooks
To start them all you need the key
Hidden coyly in the elusive privy

Winding in life my gift to the machine
But nothing happened as I turned the spring
Almost a tear for the poor thing
But then a breath and the pendulum sang

"swishâ?¦tick, swishâ?¦tock", it spoke

The arm it swings before each click
I hear gears turning ten layers thick
For every 4 tocks there comes a ping
The minutes turn as I watch it breathe

Alive again is this machine
That I found among some old things
Happy it is, the blissful machine.
A job to do is all it dreams.

Well I never know what to write in these things since I can't sum up "me" in a few words. I mean, honestly, how do you fit how awesome I am into one paragraph, right? If you want to know something about me just ask. I am a pretty open person. I value honesty, trust and loyalty very highly in all of my relationships, and I want to find someone who feels the same way. My ideal guy would be someone who is my best friend. Someone who still knows what chivalry is and can be a "nice guy". Obviously, I would love to find a guy with the same sort of interests as me. I am kind of a nerd, geek, dork or whatever you prefer to call it, but I love it, and so should you. I am always up for a good movie or staying out all hours of the night at a diner or coffee shop. I am also going to be getting a private pilots license soon so I need a good co-pilot. Other than that, I like to play card games, shoot pool, karaoke, random road trips, reading, going to concerts and knitting (don't judge me). I spend a stupid amount of time with my "twin" and my "girlfriend" but you should know, I am an only child and I am not a lesbian, it's complicated. True story! I am however a sarcastic guru and if you don't get my humor right away you better be willing to learn. Don't worry, I offer one-on-one lessons. I'm really not into the bar or club scene. I rarely drink so I am not looking for someone who likes to go to the club every night. I am totally up to go from time to time, to see you shake it, but the club scene gets old to me really fast. I have lived in Colorado most of my life, except for about a year spent in Boston and Florida and I have found that the mountains are one of my favorite things. Also, I am not looking for a fling. If you are that's fine, but please don't send me messages trying to change my mind. Basically I will say this, I am who I am, so don't try to change me. If you don't like me for me, then you are not worth my time.

I am looking for someone to get to know and see what happens. I have 2 dogs (Shih Tzus) and work as a pharmacy technician while i take classes to get on the nursing waitlist. I am looking for someone who doesn't take themselves too serious as I am kinda goofy. I enjoy watching sports and movies and hanging out with my friends and family. I also like to play video games. I also love many movies the way that people love to read the same book repeatedly. I have a dry sense of humor at times. It's how I roll.

Currently reading: Split between Shutter Island and my A&P text for school
Current Movie/TV show in the DVD player: Dexter
Currently playing: "Borderlands" on Xbox

I enjoy anything physical.... I train ninjutsu, brazilian juijutsu, muy thai, working out, jogging, running, jump rope, swimming, wrestling, arm wrestling and snowboarding. I have a cabin, am in college, again, studying for an architectural engineering degree. I have one son, who is 4 yrs old, Donovan... I enjoy hunting, hiking, mountain climbing, shooting guns, which I can do whenever, partying, meeting new peeps, laughing/jkoking, watching movies, especially, reading books and spending time with my son... I want to Find someone who likes me for who I am. Which they would actually have to give me a try to see whats up! But I do know that it takes more than one little encounter to get to know someone but when it comes to first impressions, if you dont get scared away, I am the one worth while to get to know better... Anything else, just ask...

I am an out going guy. I dont like my pictures though! Anything that is exhilirating, i wouldnt mind doing it. I love to have fun and hang out or do whatever. i love to snowboard, play hockey, play basketball. i would one day love to go parasailing. my one most favorite thing to do is camp, i love nature, i love to be outdoors, its fun and beautiful. im adventurous and would be willing to try anything you throw in front of me.

Just returned so I will fill this in over the next few days. Let it suffice that I am a loving caring Dominant looking for a submissive lady that is willing to share adventures.

I will answer any questions about my lifestyle to those who are curious about it. I also thank those ladies that have contacted me with both interest in me and questions. I am glad to have been able to help and instruct.

I love the outdoors, biking, walking, creating things that I can use. I love learning favorite tv is History Channel, Science Channel and different pbs channels. Finding new interesting things, amazing views and new experiences.

Have you wanted to be a strong man's treasure, or for that matter want to be with a strong mental and emotional man that will help and guide you?

As a Dominant man I am a person that believes I have to earn my lady's trust ever day. One that would take you to new experiences and places. One that will protect you when needed, push you gently to try new exciting things. Yes I love bondage, one of the reasons I have to earn and keep earning your trust since there will be times that you place yourself at my mercy.

Nothing for me is more exciting then having you bound with no chance of escape in a slightly uncomfortable position and seeing how many times I can make you climax. I am far from being cruel or a sadist, lol, can provide references.

I was married for over 30 years 20 of which were very happy. A death of our son dealt a death blow to our marriage even though I tried hard to help her deal with it she decided she had to rejoin her religion. They did not approve of me.

If you have any question about me or the Lifestyle all you have to do is ask, I will answer as correctly and honestly as is possible. Those of you that know the Life know that it is so large that no one is an expert or no preconception is correct. Those that don't it isn't filled with crazy people.

Self summary, huh... I am a nerd stuck in a jocks body, don't get me wrong i love the outdoors and sports, but my career choice and how much i love to learn about most anything, brings that side out.

Wellllll......... I was born and raised in Colorado. Grew up in the burbs, and I'm still here. In my spare time I enjoy skiing, skating, camping, four wheeling, climbing, hanging out with friends, reading, playing video games, watching movies, learning about anything interesting.

my name is eric i'm currently going to school at red rocks to be an electrcian i have one year left! i love to snowboard i've been doing it for 8 years now and i consider myself to be an expert haha..... i like to fish as well but i'm definatly not an expert at it lol.

i'm a speed freak my favorite thing is when i hit the highway and punch it till i scare myself.. that feeling can set you free.

i don't like to drink that much i just hate the feeling of waking up from a long night of partying and it feels like i got beat in my sleep.. not one of the best things.

when i'm not working or going to school i'm usally hanging out with my friends going on some random adventures cause thats what were good at.

what i want in a girl is some one who can hold an intelligent conversation but not to the point where i have a headache from it... some one who's responsible who can take care of them selves and doesnt seem to always be in the middle of a life crisis.. some one who's resepectfull and doesnt go out of their way to start a fight... some one who can laugh with me when i say random things and know i might not always mean it.

at first i'm usally shy but i promise that if you talk to me enough and get me to open up i'm a really good guy.

Happily Taken :) <<_Adventuress_>>
A great brain once said; "A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future." I try to take one day at a time, live in the moment and just try to enjoy the small things in life. I am pretty easy going and laid back. I am a very neatly organized, clean respectful person who is passionate and caring. Kinda old fashioned as well, like opening up doors and such. I tend to be very generous and go out of my way at times to please, although a 50/50 relationship is very important to me. I have an overwhelming urge to always learn new things.

My name is Piper, and I'm 19, transgendered, and looking for a relationship. I love hanging out with friends and staying out late. And I'd love to find someone who enjoys hanging out with me as well.

Maybe I do a little too much serious thinking, but I think I'm much better off because of it in the end. I can't help considering our time here to be very precious and that squandering it is a tragedy. One day I looked around at my coworkers and realized that not a single one of them needed to be there - all (myself included) were there by choice. For many I think it was a product of fear or a choice of default. I thought about what it would be like if all I had to show for myself after 10 years was a title, having not produced or created a single thing, having nothing to be proud of. Then I thought about the musical ability that I had been in the process of unraveling for several years but had recently been neglecting. I decided it was unfair to myself to allow my gifts to go to waste, and to at least not try to exercise them. I believe the circumstances are in my favor because I believe there isn't a single musical skill beyond my ability. Anything I don't "know" how to do now is only something I haven't learned or realize how to do yet. So far my experience has given me no reason to believe anything otherwise.
There is a point to all of this though, being a musician isn't an end in itself. My greatest desire is to be able to somehow use my music as a vehicle to speak out in favor of expanding the limitations our society imposes on consciousness, perception, and expression. I think this problem is the worst threat humanity faces, worse than overpopulation, climate change, or anything like that, and that it is the cause of the worst disasters we bring upon ourselves, the tragic cycles of warfare, starvation, poverty, and inequality. I want to call attention to the fact that the 150 years of our Industrial society represents only a blip out of 3 million years of humanity and that many of the "truths that we hold to be self evident" may merit another look. We are desperately disconnected from the natural world and the life that shares the planet with us, and this causes us to be disconnected from spirituality, which can only come from communion with and being enveloped by nature.
I think there's much more around us than a playground for suburb-dwellers. I think the world has a lot more to offer us than that and that it's worthwhile to go out and look for it

Well where start....I am a Colorado native, I love this state, could never think of moving away from here. I work in the home health care field, sometimes my job can be a bit hectic and put in some long hours, but at the end of the day I really love my job, being able to help others is the most gratifying end of my job.

I love the outdoors....Between skiing every weekend in the winter when I'm not on call to trying to get better at wakeboarding in the summer. I try to do anything at least once, be it taking a last minute trip up to the mountains with my friends to riding my motorcycle to San Diego.

Well, what can I say. I am a 31year old living in Westminster Colorado. I'm a gamer, a nerd, a dork, in love with my car and computer all the same. I love action, campy horror, comedies, romantic comedies as well. Guiness is the only beer of choice for this man. I love the Mammoth and most sports that involve lots of hard contact. If this hasn't scared you away by now, give me a hollar.

I'm just an old fashioned guy who is looking for a really good friend that turn into a lasting relationship.

Well... I am 27 yrs old. All my life I have had a love for music. I learned the piano at a very early age and later got into Trombone, Trumpet, Baritone, and Drums. At 16 I bought a mobile DJ setup and provided a low cost entertainment package for weddings parties and school dances. After high school I went to a tech school and graduated with an Associates of Science in Recording Arts and also an AS in Show Production. In the future I hope to go back and get my Bachelors Degree in Entertainment Business.

whats up everyone my name is brandon and i love life, people, and being spontaneous!! i rock climb, hike, ride my motorcycle, snowboard, wakeboard, skydive, play guitar, love hangin out with friends, and going out! im definately always up for the moment and love adventure. If you think you can keep up definately hit me up!!!

I'n a single dad with two teenage girls. I'm looking for someone who loves life, kids, going dancing, concerts, riding in the mountains

I am a easy going person. Who is for the most part laid back. I like to have time a lone to think and reflect on life. I try to learn something every day. I also like to read news articles. I am a news junkie. I guess that's enough for know.

Hey every one. Im Josh. Not totally sure on what I want to say here, but I'll give it my best shot. I currently graduated and got my associates degree from Lincoln College of Technology in Denver Co. to be an auto mechanic. I'm a pretty outgoing guy around the right person/people. I'm usually a lil shy at meeting new people but warm up quickly once i get to know you. I'll do pretty much anything that sounds fun or interesting. I'm almost always up for trying somethin new. I enjoy working on cars/trucks (mainly Fords), goin hunting(but more for the camping part of it then the hunting part), the outdoors, camping, 4 wheeling, playin sports with family and friends, bike riding, running and just pretty much getting out and doing something. I also enjoy just staying home and cuddling up with that special someone and watching movies.

I am fresh out of college, currently a daycare teacher that has recently been accepted to Ross University Medical School. I have a degree in Integrative Physiology with a minor in Linguistics. I hope one day to be a Pediatrician, I love working with kids. The children I work with now can be little bastards, but I love them still and we get along just fine. I've been an EMT and a medical assistant, I'm very devoted to finding a career, but I still find time to sing, dance, and have fun. I write songs, draw, paint, I love to show my creative side, one of those Bohemian types I guess. I'm always up for trying something new, whether it is a new dance or a new sport, I'll try almost anything at least once. I'm ambitious, smart, and always try to find some way to make my life a little different, a little more exciting. I love indie music, punk, and classic rock. My favorite bands are Rilo Kiley, Death Cab for Cutie, the Sex Pistols, the Flaming Lips, AC/DC, Ray LaMontagne, and the Kinks. My favorite songs are the ones that are simple, sweet, and perhaps sometimes a little sad, my current favorite is Cat Steven's "The Wind." I'm here with an open mind, but don't be suprised if I try some sarcastic, witty humor on you, I'm a sucker for sarcasm and wit. That having been said, don't be suprised if I follow it with a really stupid question, because as my sister once told me, "you're the stupidest smart person I know." Common sense isn't always my strongest trait. Maybe I shouldn't have even said that. Huh.

I think you can find out a lot about someone's personality from the movies they watch, so here are some of my favorites: Anchorman, Jackie Brown, Grindhouse: Death Proof, Knocked Up, Juno, Lars and the Real Girl, and Pride and Prejudice for my sappy side. As for tv shows I like, if you like the cartoon "Home Movies," The Office (Brittish or American), Freaks and Geeks, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Chuck, or you're as heartbroken as I am that Pushing Daisies went off the air, then we'll get along just fine : )

Who am I looking for you ask as you are drawn in to my oh-so-charming description and irresistable photos? Someone to laugh with of course, someone I can be a dork with, and someone that makes something as simple as watching a favorite show together a memorable experience. If you tell me a joke so great i get jealous i didn't think of it first you'll be my best friend, and if you punch me in the arm I'll punch you back harder.

Note: Men who are looking for women without baggage and without drama need not message me. I truly beleive everyone has baggage and drama and shouldn't be judged for it, it's what makes us human beings. I think that what matters most is our ability to work through it, learn from it, and not carry a chip on our shoulder because of it. When drama finds me, I work through it, I don't burry it down deep because I've learned that only makes it worse. I am a big communicator and expect the same in return. Okay, that's all.

my name is kendra im a fun outgoing girl, who likes having a good time... i have the most amazing friends in the whole entire world, and be lost without them. i'm currently going to school at PMI to be a medical assistant and plan on going back for my radiology degree after i get some background experience. i love music and i wish i could listen to it while i do everything... kinda like theme music. i love art but i cant draw so i just admire... i'm not perfect so most the time i do look a mess but if you can't like me even when i look a mess then it obviously not meant to be... i do believe in god and go to church but i haven't been able to go as much as i would like... sometimes i say things that i shouldn't say i don't mean to i just can't stop it but i do try and keep my filter on... i'm not like other girls i do like to look pretty and dress up but i'm not the girl who is going to spend half an hour doing my hair and make up to go to the store. i do have strong opinions on things and sometimes people say i'm stubborn but i just don't believe i have to think like everyone else does..... but behind all those not so great things i'm still like every girl as far as being a hopeless romantic i wear my heart on my sleve even though i know its a bad place to put it but i feel like if i don't dive in and take that risk in everything i do its not a life worth living.

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."

"love is irresistable desire to be irresistably desired."

"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells get your ears checked."

"not a shread of evidence exists in the favor of the idea that life is serious."

"I don't want to earn my living i want to live."

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today, its already tomorrow in Australia."

"I'm not afraid of death i just don't want to be there when it happens."

this one is my favorite mostly because the person who said it is one of my favorite authors ever lol

"Don't cry because its over. smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss

Me in a nutshellâ?¦.I have 2 kids and they are my life, was in the army for 7years, have the alpha female complex, fairly quiet, fucked up sense of humor, positive that bacon would taste good on everything, total commitment phob, sleeps with 3 pillows, loves the concept of fuck buddies and is in a polyamorous relationship with <<rohand>>.

other random facts about me
lactose intolerant but loves dairy, farting is very funny to me, im considered the son my dad never had, love jumping on the bed, emotional range of a rock....

I'm a secure person who has his life together, if not entirely figured out yet. I enjoy many things in life from spending time in the wilderness to spending time on the Inter-Webs. I'm a left brained introvert who would rather have a challenging conversation with friends than spend an evening hopping through bars.

These days, I work in an office with some wonderful people. In earlier times I have worked with my hands and worked with some pretty amazing environmental justice types.

Hi, my name's Brandon.
I just moved to Colorado from New Jersey in the summer, and am loving it. A friend and I came out together and have an apartment in Broomfield.
I work full time in Boulder with a company who sells medicinal plants from around the world, and i enjoy my work very much.

So... I love life. and would love to meet a beautiful goddess who is sweet, down to Earth and loving.

I like to party on occasions, but highly enjoy staying low key and just hanging out with close friends.

My 'life work' is to help inspire people to open up to the infinite potentials we all hold. I simply wish to see the world happy, in tune to nature and all of existence. Peace on Earth

Hi - I love to dance; african, contra dance and middle eastern and tribal belly dance, and learning how to Zumba. I also love to drum and rattle, paint and laugh and exercise; yoga and Tai Chi and dance, bicycling. Eating chocolate ice cream in a hot tub is a treat, love watermelon and dark chocolate and milk chocolate and rock hunting. Enjoy hiking and being out in the big playground. A spiritual seeker, and student of the universe, star gazing and watching nature's show. Seeking friends and special partner. Would roam the world if independently wealthy, but plan to see it all taking one trip per year, and see everything in my new backyard of Colorado. I don't do tv, but enjoy movies, and a variety of creative outlets.

valerie the garden goddess14

I'm a single mom who enjoys cycling, water sports, travel, theatre, cinema, reading, and beautiful Colorado. I have a career I like, a comfortable home, and a great teenage son. I am 5'-8" tall, have brunette hair, and blue eyes.

I've realized how boring this profile sounds, especially since I'm not all that great in describing myself in a few paragraphs since I'm much deeper than that. If you have any recommendations on how to make this more descriptive, please say so. I won't bite.

I recently moved to Broomfield from Fort Collins where I got my bachelors degree at Colorado State University. I found my first 'real' job down here that I really like, which is exciting.

A short "laundry list" of some of my interests in no particular order:
- Movies
- Traveling I'm really interested in this one, but haven't been able to much recently which is unfortunate
- Photography - I just got a new digital SLR for X-Mas, which is really exciting for me
- Graphic Design I've been playing with a program called Blender for 3D graphics recently. It's pretty awesome.
- Artwork and the beauty of the universe around us
- Scuba Diving
- Swimming (with or without scuba gear)
- Foosball
- Bike riding
- Computers
- Science and Technology
- Video Games
- Halloween
- Target Shooting - mainly rifle, but also some pistol. I haven't fired a shotgun yet though

Both my dad and I love Halloween. Each year we decorate the house well and try out new things that we can use to scare trick or treaters with. *evil grin*

A few interesting points about myself:
- Born in southern California, though don't consider myself a californian.
- Lived in Minnesota for 5 years
- Moved to Colorado in 2000 and have lived here since.
- I have my scuba diving certification and *really* want to get out there and use it somewhere fantastic. Unfortunately, Colorado doesn't really lend itself very well to it...
- I built my own computer and have been upgrading it myself ever since
- I am handy around the house and can fix a lot of things. I am an engineer after all
- My dad is an engineer, my uncle is an engineer, my grandpa worked on the Apollo project. We have a bit of a line of engineers in my family.

I believe in equality for everyone, no matter their skin color, origins, income level, sex, religion, etc. I don't believe that any group should get special privileges though. For example, I don't believe that a man should be required to take the first step in a relationship, nor required to pay for dinner, or required to open the door for a lady, etc.. Notice, I said *required.* I tend to do the last two anyway because I'm just like that I guess.

I'm not really one to jump into a relationship with a woman. I'd much prefer to take things slow, at our own pace. Don't be pressured by societal rules to move a relationship forward at a pace you/we aren't comfortable with. We're looking for someone to spend the rest of our lives with, why should we rush it or be pressured by what society expects of us?

I sold my computer business 4 years ago tired of the high tech world and the disconnectedness technology can cause if we are not careful. I have been traveling back and forth across the US, five times so far, exploring, writing about, and photographing national parks, state parks, national seashores, wildlife refuges, and other places of natural interest in a land being overly developed. I am finished with a book I am writing and looking for a publisher. It is about my travels around America and the wonderful people I meet along the way. The natural world is most mesmerizing to me, much more so than the commercial world of cities and suburban malls. We spend way too much time consuming and if we think about what that word really means we recognize that we are consuming the earth and causing the environmental degradation that is problematic. I hope to encourage other people, through my writing and photography, to appreciate and take care of the beautiful and fragile natural world Mother Nature and God has provided.

Two of my life's beliefs "It's not the destination, it is the journey" and "Be happy, it's a choice." I have always designed the life I have wanted. I take time to enjoy the grand things that we all notice and also those small things that many people miss as they go about their busy lives.

Being in nature strikes a transcendent chord on the strings of my being.

My name is Ryan. Most any one who knows me though call me Wex. I am an easy going fun loving kind of guy. I like to do lots of different things. I like to build things. I like to play sports. I like older cars and am slowly working on restoring a 1965 mustang. I really injoy singing and all kinds of music. Im also in to acting and have done some student films with some friends. I like making people laugh and smile even is it means making an ass of my self to do so. im an honest and caring person who is always there for the people around me. To be honest im really no good at talking about my self. Id say if you really want know me, you would have to get to know me. Talk to me meet me in person. I know a lot of people say this but there is really no one out there quit like me and if you get to know me you will find this to be true. So if you are interested and would like to know more about me please say something and get in tuch with me.

Oh, I'm a pretty dorky guy. I tend towards being introverted but I can become pretty energetic in a group of close friends. I'm extremely self-reflective and most of my conscious is actually asking questions about my actions and motives. I'll be honest, I'm pretty naive and an idealist. Maybe a dark idealist... more information about that later maybe. I'm honest to a fault unless its a secret; I'm excellent at secrets and keeping them.

Also, how weird that I'm characterized as Less Socially Free AND Less Old-timey?

I am newly single (divorced) and am looking to meet new people. Dating is somewhat of a mystery to me and am looking forward to solving the puzzle.

To summarize:

I play vidjagames and watch movies. I like The Sims, Evil Genius, Team Fortress, Champions Online, Diablo and anything multiplayer! I know that lumps me into the same grouping as about ninety percent of the guys on here, but it's the truth.

I'm watching Empire Strikes Back as I type this.

I have friends and love them lots. I like being with people more than I like being alone. I have clothes and love them less. I like things that fill you up like your favorite color; a perfect hug, or a good Bon Jovi song perhaps.

I'm confident in who I am, but a little nervous around anybody I don't know well. I'm incredibly young at heart but not immature. I'm silly at any given moment except when it wouldn't be appropriate.

When I was a little kid and people asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?" my answer was always the same; "A daddy."

well i like to skate snwoboard and play guitar. I am shy and kind and i treat people how they should be treated.

Lets see. i came out of the closet my senior year of high school. It was hard, I did have difficulty accepting who I was. But now, I accept who I am and I love myself for being true to myself. There is a lot to say. i am a kind hearted, loveable guy. Who loves to venture off into the world. I also love to just relax. I swam in high school, i don't work out too much like i used to. i am now however. get healthier is my big concern as of late.
I play music, I write it, I imagine it. I love art. I am a drawer. i want to get better at drawing realistic drawings. i work currently at Checker Auto Parts. Pretty Manly. I'm not open there since its pretty, well straight acting. I also work at Brighton Collectibles. Purse store in other words. I'm not a feminine gay guy, just straight acting is how I am. I have my lil fem moments. I like to sing and dance. i sang in choir and danced as well. I ran cross country as well. I loved to run.
I am also attending college at Pima Medical Institute. I am going for Pharmacy Technician. Then off to a community college to get my AA in General Core, then Boulder to BA in English Literature. And minor in music.
I plan to teach eventually, for high school, i like the argument parts.
But for now, i am looking for a well rounded guy, who has similar, or no interests whatsoever.

I've been by myself long enough to know that I am strong, capable and tired of being by myself.
I've been told that as soon as I give up looking, for the "man of my dreams", he will show up...is it you whom I've been waiting for?
Do you love to be loved?
I love to be "in love".
I'm not looking for "my guy" to have the best job, the best body nor the best stuff.
The one thing that is mandatory is a great sense of humor.
I am looking for a thoughtful, financially responsible, romantic partner.
I know that you're out there.
I have two daughters who are the light of my life.

I am Brazilian girl but I'll moved for Broomfield CO for working and studing.

I am a very happy girl who loves to meet other people and new cultures...

I'm from Central America I'm 27 years of age, I went to HS and college in CO, I like riding my motorcycle I have a Suzuki GSX 600f. I also like working out and hanging out with friends. I like to have fun and drink but with moderation. People say I'm too serious all the time but that's only if you don't know me. I guess that's what being in the military for 6 years does to you, Oh I'm out by the way. But once you get to know me I will make you laugh like hell.

Also if you're the type of girl that needs to be reminded of how pretty you are or be told how good you look in your need outfit a high maintenance girl don't contact me I am %100 confident in myself and I want the same. Being unconfident is a sign of weakness and that ladies makes you and easy target for guys like me but I'm not like that...

I have the up most respect for women and I absolutely hate women beaters and thieves. I treat people the way I want to be treated.

Grew up here in Colorado up in Fort Collins, but now I live in Denver. I work for the Colorado army national guard fixing helicopters. I plan on finishing maintenance school this year for civilians and a few years down the road start working towards getting my commercial pilots license.
I do my best just to ignore the bad things in life and enjoy the good things. I have a my pooch who isn't so little and doesn't realize it.
I enjoy getting out and having a good time but I know pretty much the people that I go to school with which is a bunch of males and just not enough females.

I am a kind hearted, funny, open minded gentleman who enjoys the outdoors camping, hiking, 4wheeling, swiming and bbqing and i also enjoy indoor fun from a good home cooked meal ( be me ) to renting a movie and or sitting infront of the fire place with a glass of wine
I am a very sincere guy insearch of a lady whos looking for a guy thats not into game playing and is honest and straight foward
so if you are looking for an Honest, Careing, Gentleman, who will make you fall in love with him everyday
i am here

I'll tell you one thing, I've always hated the idea of trying to sum myself up in one paragraph. I can list a million fun facts about myself and you may love every one but that doesn't mean we would even get along. It's kinda like an online application for friendship. *list of qualifications* *special talents* *previous experience* *references*.... call me for an interview =P

I am an author. I recently gave up my first dream job of 18 years, to pursue my dream of becoming a published author. I am honest and fun and warm. I love going on long walks, working in my flower gardens, and taking spontaneous road trips. I am on a journey of self-discovery and delight in pushing myself outside my comfort zones.

I am a fun loving man looking to meet other fun loving individuals. I love the outdoors and anything active

Well well well...Where do I start?

I love having fun without drama. I love to try new things and I always seem to find a way to travel all the time. I really love music, all types. I'm pretty philosophical at times and always ask why things happen the way they do...Sometimes that's good sometimes bad.

I love learning, hence my current profession and schooling. I believe the best thing about teaching is that I never stop learning, not to mention hanging with kids all day.

I spend as much time as I can outdoors, I love to party, and I spend a lot of time in the gym...anything else? Just ask...

I don't believe in allowing the world to damage me; I take what it gives me and grow from the experience. I'm looking for someone with that same attitude :)

Married for twelve years and divorced for about three. I learned a lot from the things we overcame in our marriage, and I learned a lot from the things we were not able to overcome. I don't feel like I'm carrying "baggage" away from that experience, but rather, a lot of lessons that will benefit any new relationship I undertake.
My match should be a happy person who is well-acquainted with joy. I work hard at being happy and joyful. It's something I want to share mutually with a woman who approaches life bravely and positively.

I'm an artist in many ways: music, drawing, writing, etc. But I've never had the chance to hang out with artsy people, so I've never picked up many of the typical artsy traits. I'm cultured, but not refined. I like what I like because it's beautiful or it moves me. I don't care if it's maintstream or indie. I REALLY love to talk about music, movies, books, and matters of the heart. Not much into politics, though, and sports talk makes me gag :-p

I have a perpetually curious mind. I love to study history and science. I don't remember half of it, but it's still fascinating to me.

You'll find me very self-aware. You'll also find me very interested in who you are and what you think. In fact, the one thing I'm probably looking for more than anything is a woman who will engage me, who thinks out loud and doesn't mind disagreement.

It's my habit to laugh at most of my own follies, which means I spend a great deal of my time laughing or just grinning.

I consider myself full of life. I have a lot going on at any given time - a lot of it is working on music or teaching myself something. But I also get out and stay active. I'm looking for someone who overlaps my interests somewhat, but also has passionate activities of her own.

I like to play. But I don't like to be irresponsible. I like to think. But I don't like to let my feet get too far off the ground. I like to talk. But I like to get alone and have quiet time to myself. I like to teach. But I LOVE to learn. I like to hike with folks who know what they're doing. But I get a certain sick thrill out of getting lost. I like adventure. But I also like it when things settle down and run smoothly. I love to travel. But I like to get back home and make sure my cats haven't burned down my place.

One thing that I've been learning since I've been on my own: It's OK to be on my own. I'm not signing up with Match to find fulfillment, but rather to find someone who is learning the same lesson that I'm learning: that each one of us is complete whether we find a match or not. Then we'll be free to just laugh and love and enjoy the moments we're given.

Now for all the weeding out stuff: If you hold grudges, please hold them somewhere else. If you don't like touching or being touched, I'm not your guy. If you can't give someone the benefit of the doubt, we might not be a good fit. If you aren't patient enough to see that through all my boyishness and scattered thought there's a good man in here with a strong heart, a sharp mind and a vast imagination, then we'd be better off not wasting each other's time. I'm the kind of guy who is capable of believing in someone, trusting someone, touching someone, forgiving someone, respecting someone, yielding to someone, and laughing with someone. I would expect the same from the lady with whom I run through life, whether we are playing together or working together or just quietly dreaming together.

Things you might want to know: I snore. I can also be very air-headed, so you'll have to be a sound sleeper and be a patient person who can laugh at air-heads.

Good luck and big thrills to you in your world out there! Keep hope alive and learn to laugh! I'll do the same.

A little about me... I am a mother of a 21 year old son. In measuring my life I am proud of being a Mom. My son is my greatest accomplishment in life. He is a good and decent human being so I guess I did my job well.

I am a Social Studies teacher at a magnet school in Denver. Being a teacher and a Mom is what defines me. Though, I must admit I am in transition, a bit, because being a Mom is not what primarily defines me anymore (he's moved out)... and I don't want to have my work as the defining element of my life. So I guess I'm at loose ends on that front...

My real passion is politics and government. My MA is in Political Science and that is my area of continued interest. I read a lot and I am quite informed on the issues of the day, week, month, decade.

I am a complicated person with many (sometimes conflicting) layers to me. :) Which all people should be able to say if they were introspective about themselves. I seek to know and understand myself... it is a great foundation for trying to understanding others. :)

What I seek is much harder to find.... I am seeking the real life, touch-each-other-in-joy variety of relationship. What I want in my life is that kind of relationship where so much is communicated in a look or a soft touch. I want someone who doesn't get angry when I call in the middle of the night because I can't sleep. Someone who gets as much joy from my joy as I get from theirs. This type of relationship is built upon really knowing each other and wanting to know more.

My name is Scott

I enjoy going camping, fishing, snowboarding, hunting, 4 wheeling, pretty much anything outside.... I also play video games and I just started learning guitar.

Looking for someone to spend some time with.

Just a man trying to see who is out in the world that I'm not able to meet in person. I'm more of a talker so if you want to get to know me all you gotta do is ask. I'm a sweetheart, I swear. =)

I'm 24 years old, I'm a single mother to my son who is my world, he's my little hero. I'm a little more quiet at first until i get to know someone better and then I slowly turn into a dork/goofball. I enjoy making people laugh. I'm a Certified Massage Therapist, but not currently working as one. I'm kinda tall, I'm 5'9". My zodiac sign is a Cancer. I'm a big cuddler. I'm a very sweet, caring, loving, , loyal, understanding, down to earth person. I am waiting to meet that special someone to share my life with. I'm a true friend and a shoulder to cry on to people who are true friends to me. I love dancing, and drawing (which I do very well), and tattoos, and photography, art, and the simple beauties in life that need to be appreciated. I am a huge movie buff, and love to cuddle up in all my comfy soft pillows and blankets and watch a good movie or tv show. I like Art, dance, photography, family, friends, movies, etc....

I am a real down to earth type of woman that enjoys the little things in life. I have a great sense of humor sometimes it can be twisted and sick and wrong at times LOL but I love to laugh and have fun. I think out side the box. I am not the typical female I can work on cars, I fix things around my house, and I can do it all with out breaking a nail LOL. I am not sure how else to describe myself. I do not like drama at all my life is very simple. I just moved here to Broomfield about 8 months ago from Longmont so I am getting familiar with the area. I love to shoot pool I am not that good at it but I like to do it. I am self supporting and I own my own home and I am happy and just looking for someone to share my life with.

I have my story as everyone does. I just prefer to do the telling in person. Some mysteries should be unraveled one bit at a time.

But I guess I will also include a teaser.... I am very independent but I love being with people. I have a bit of wanderlust and often go my own path and I am rarely your average girl. I love to read, watch movies, hang with friends, travel, go on adventures, snowboard, write, experience life and work on renovating my house.

Talking about myself is always tough, but here it goes... I am a warm and loving person. I love to help people whenever they are in need of it. I love working with children and watching them grow.
I have been told that I have a dry sense of humor. My sense of humor is not hurtful and though I may say offensive jokes, I will try not to offend someone directly. I am pretty good at reading responses to what I say and predetermining what will be appropriate. I don't say much because I do put thought into what I say. In a large group setting where people change subjects more often than they blink, I usually can't get a word.

I figured I'd try this site out since I moved to Denver last semester from Ft. Collins and I don't really know anyone here yet. Doesn't seem to be working so far but here goes nothing... me in a paragraph? Well, I am motivated, random, spontanious, honest, blunt, passionate, romantic, funny, smart ass, and intelligent. I am well travelled and love to learn about any and everything. I appreciate beauty and don't take life for granted. I am a Colorado native but have lived in NY, IL, CA, FL, NE, and Jamaica. I have travelled many other places and seen a lot of wild stuff! I have yet to go to Europe, but it's on my list. For example, i went on a summer road trip and went to every baseball stadium East of Colorado.

I am funny and I want a serious companion . .

I am 26 years old, work at a brewery, which i serve tables. love to talk about beer as well as drink it lol! Im very easy to get along with, and always positive! (i dont like the downers but always try to cheer them up) having a job which i work as late as 10-12pm i am on the nocturnal side, most def not a morning person unless i have to be....which is very rare. i love going out with friends watching football, and playing games.

So I am this brainy, feisty girl from the beach towns of Southern California who -- despite her bohemian leanings, eclectic interests and love of the outdoors -- trapped herself in Corporate America, and is none too happy about it these days...despite the travel to exotic locations, big deals (big deal) and corporate intrigue. Since I work out of my house and travel for work, most of the interesting men I meet are in other states.

I am looking for deep, interesting, healthy, energetic friends I can be proud to know, with some romantic potential and chemistry. Or maybe some professional networking for a second, more meaningful career.

Since I have one foot in mainstream America, and the other in bohemian, fairly Boulder-esque tastes...since I have a wardrobe of chic suits, and also of athletic gear and jeans or edgy other-wear...I don't often get to know people who work both zones equally well.

Anyway, I like this site so far. Interesting people. A little more blunt and genuine than more pedestrian sites.

i am looking for love and a connection not just a special friend. Trust is the most important thing to me.
If all you are looking for is some fun...move to another profile.

Let's see I'm not sure where to start here lol :-) My name is Dan and have lived here in CO all my life and love it. I'm a pretty laid back mellow guy, kind of on the shy and quiet side but after I get to know someone I open up more. I'm more of a hopeless romantic and caring kind of guy. I always have a smile on my face and try and have fun at whatever I'm doing at the time :-)

Well besides working, going to school part time, and taking care of my son on the weekends, I do enjoy going golfing when I can, and riding my bike, also love to play guitar. I'm also trying to teach my son to learn how to play guitar. Lets see, working out staying in shape, lifting weights, swimming, listening to music, watching movies are pretty fun. I love going camping in the summer, love to cook, or going to bbq's at my friends house.

I've never had the best of luck meeting good descent women, so my buddy told me about this site and I thought I would try it and see where it goes :-) I would like to meet someone who is down to earth and honest, who doesn't play games and knows what she wants. Someone who is a true lady who is kind and caring and loving. It seems that I always meet a girl that ends up cheating or lying and that's no good I know I don't deserve that. I'm truly a good guy and would like to meet someone who has a good heart as well :-)

Umm im a fun outdoors type guy that is usually do something to keep me occupied. i recently moved to colorado from Arizona about 2 years ago to be around the family. I was a firefighter in az but now im just trying to finish school and get on to a department up here.

I'm a wicked smart, very funny bigger guy (300+lbs) in a complicated marriage (we're in love, have kids, but sex has exited the building). I'm looking for a friend (one) who would also grow to being a lover. Today I can't say I'm looking to leave my current relationship, but I can't say that that is cast in stone.

Let's talk and see where things lead...

I enjoy just about anything, but I will not go on a roller-coaster, skydive, or bungee jump. Other than that I up for MOST things.
