Don't "play the field " when it comes to relationships--either I'm in to a committed one or not in one at all.
A romantic--yes--but in truth, that has a lot do to with "us" not just me.
Learning as well as ideas have played an important part of my life so if your primarily the outdoor and baseball type, then you should pass on me.
Future travel plans in the next six months: 1. Whitewatering in Grand Canyon,; 2. Art/Theater visit to New York City; 3. Visit to Greece, Italy and Spain. Want to join me?
Well, ok, I do love nature and try to spent at least one weekend a month in the woods or by the sea.
Past careers: electrical engineer, teacher, marketing manager, clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) marriage counselor, now writer.
Written over 21 books, some psychological, mostly technical.
Looking for an attractive woman who truly enjoys the arts (cinema, music, etc.), is of a liberal bent, and would like to do some traveling in the near future.
You? You are a woman looking for an intelligent man who loves the arts and who possesses a romantic nature.

Date men and women from Arkansas, United States. I have a wide variety of interests, definitely not a couch potato. I like being active and enjoy all kinds of activities: hiking, biking, running, easy cooking, travel, exploring new sights, classical music, smooth jazz, museums, dancing, theater, and nice restaurants. I am interested in someone who has conversational abilities, wit, and a sense of humor to match mine. Interested in friendship first, compatibility over time is important, but I also appreciate the value of "chemistry". Enjoy the warmth of a woman, her touches, words and one who appreciates a man for who he is. I have been well trained by the women in my life and know exquisite love, so I know how to give and receive love. I am seeking a female with some similar interests, loves life and open to establishing a longterm relationship, although at this age, is getting shorter.

Meet a man from Arkansas, United States. I am now retired (for the third and perhaps last time). Given my NYC roots, I now live in downtown Mountain View - close to restaurants, shops, public transportation and the Steven's Creek Trial.
What I want in a Women
I am looking for a women who is highly intelligent, attractive, feminine, warm, supportive, but not dependent; and has strong values and integrity. I'd prefer someone is spiritual but not religious. I like women who will express their preferences and get enthusiastic about collaboratively planning what to do. I am actually turned on by really bright women who don't have to prove it.
More about me
Trying to understand people fascinates me and so I have a strong interest in psychology (e.g. Jungian) and the Enneagram; and I love to meet folk with different cultures, worldwide. (The latter was facilitated by being responsible for technology development a client - an international consortium focused on the efficient design of system-on-chip electronic systems. Because of this, I've had the good fortune to be able to travel extensively to Europe, Japan, Greater China and oh yes, within the US.)
I can be cerebral but often am lighthearted, almost flip, in a teasing mode -- depending on the people I'm with. I am really interested in learning about the people I'm with and may ask lots of questions. I'm told I am very supportive of my friends. I appreciate personal candor, but in its time and place.
More on my background
I have advanced degrees in Engineering and Physics. I came to Silicon Valley in 1985 to run Engineering in a struggling startup (now a NY Stock Exchange company) but since have come to love the Bay Area, with its great weather and proximity to neat places such as Big Sur, Mendocino, Wine and Gold Countries and so on.
I love to take long walks or hike into the Santa Cruz Mountains with companions who want to ponder the Mysteries of the Universe and our place in it; or discuss the mundane challenges of our own lives, politics and so on.
