Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 32 year old

Date a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I have always been extremely ambitious. In high school, I didn’t stop until I was class president and an Eagle Scout. I was big into soccer, track and student government. My parents were big into taking my four younger sisters and I to every national park we could drive to from Wisconsin, so I have seen a few. My memories of growing up were of camping next to lakes in the summer with water skiing and ghost stories in the tent and sleeping in a single room cabin in the winter next to a fire with peppermint schnapps in our hot chocolate and going cross country skiing. My family always goes to Florida for the holidays; we don’t give many presents but instead steal ourselves away so we can be with each other on the beach for a week.
At the academy, the world opened up to me and I was able to visit 26 countries and most of the bigger cities in the US- to this day I have never been to Hawaii though, want to go? I was in Hong Kong for New Years Eve 2000 and I have been through the Panama Canal seven times. I went to grad school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for engineering and have lived in France, Seattle, Boston and I just recently moved to San Francisco. I have been to seven of Canada’s provinces and at one point went to Mexico four years in a row. Two of my sisters have studied abroad in Spain and that is probably the foreign country I have spent the third most time in aside from France and Mexico- I really like sangria.
Time does fly. I would say I have spent most of my time traveling with family and friends. We really like to do it right both in luxury and adventure and some of my favorite things while traveling are bath robes, outdoor showers, king sized beds with insect screens, getting the wrong food when you don’t know the language, hot tubs, waterfalls, palm trees, after sun lotion, cold mountain rivers, stinky hot springs, scented candles, martini glasses made of ice, board games, trying to touch a moose, volcanic mud baths, dogs barking on a starry night, private pools, boat docks, beach huts, tree houses, buffets, zoos, new rental cars, fancy dinners in downtown areas, scuba, streaking, bar dice, snowball fights, snorkeling, falling asleep fully clothed, picnics in scenic places, the first snow, early morning dew, burning wood, insect/frog noises on a lake, a car completely stuffed with weeks of stuff, statues in the middle of plazas, cathedrals, mariachis, costumes, laughing when things can’t get any worse, the random times it decides to rain, realizing the need to take action to avoid further trouble, figuring things out, seeing people early in the morning, coffee, breakfast, sunrise, grilling, bare feet in the ocean…sunset. All of these things have kept me busy since I can remember and I hope for much longer.
These days, the amount of responsibility at work is getting more and more exciting while more and more of my friends are doing their own thing. I stick to the basics; I work really hard and remain ambitious, when I come home I like to run for exercise, call family and friends, have some personal time and then try to get as much rest as possible to do it all over again. When I am not doing that, I am usually lost in a grocery store, stuck in an airport, on a boat in the ocean or spending countless hours planning my next trip if I’m not actually on it. I most like to spend time with people who make me laugh, like the outdoors but can easily dress up for a night on the town and who don’t want anything to stop them from enjoying life to its fullest. If I could put a palm tree or a fountain in my apartment- I would. In the past few weeks I have driven completely across country by myself and loved it, I have also driven completely across Fort Collins, CO on a bicycle brewery tour. I hope some of this catches your eye and look forward to hearing from you, I can’t wait to explore San Francisco.

Meet a man from Oakland, United States. Serious stuff:
I believe hard work is the only path to success. I'm a man of quiet confidence and I have an even keel. I'm understanding, easy-going, compassionate, and level headed. You could call me more tortoise than hare. I like that about me. I value health dearly and continuously strive to improve my own. Years and years of martial arts training has me very comfortable in my own skin. I am happy with who I am and where I am going. I am a musician and music will always be a precious part of my life.
Fun stuff:
So all seriousness aside, I'm a geek. I don't get fanatic about movies or nerdy shows, board games, etc... I just love that stuff. I can't quote all of Star Wars, although I wish I could and admire those who can. The dorky and geeky side of me is tempered by the side of me that loves baseball, martial arts, and a drink at my local pub. I also enjoy hiking, biking, walks on the beach, or spending time at a mountain lake. Poker is another favorite of mine. I write music for video games and play jazz piano (although I love playing many other styles). I have been playing since I was 5.
I love puppies more than kittens.

Date men and women from Oakland, United States. Bored with the profiles you've scanned through so far? I don't blame you....most are predictable and fatuous with coined-phrases like "easy going" and "don't take life too seriously".
You recognize BS and want a man who can give your heart its endless erection.
Welcome to the cure for your online dating blues.
I'm a Doctor Who meets a Buddhist Tupac in search of a Nerdy Jedi in Heels.
After the initial: she's stunning, she's beautiful, she's...damn she's fine, very quickly...looks become boring if not sustained by intellect, depth, and sensitivity. Courage is as sexy on a woman as intelligence is on a man. Courage = coraticum from coeur age (heart act) = acting with the heart.
I want a woman that looks, feels, and tastes like a woman. No hair between my teeth. You're not any of the extremes of raunchy and unkempt, or siditty and inaccessible. If you're too hippie to sport stilettos or too fancy to ride the bus then I'm probably not for you.
Biggest dating lesson of my 30s, "Create space for women to step up, when they make space for me to show up."
Help me out. Do most women get to a point in their life and think, "You know what? I'd like my man to be ordinary" because I have to tell you, there's nothing ordinary about me and I intend to keep it that way.
I want an emotionally available fellow superhero to build a Justice League with and has a clear idea of what she wants: an unordinary man,
- Buddhist (highly spiritual, principled, compassionate)
- Faithful (reliable, honest, transparent)
- Passionate (romantic, sensual, energetic)
- Urban man of color and culture (street smarts, humble beginnings, worldly)
- Sensitive (forgives quickly, laughs easily, loves tenderly)
- Unconventional (defies status quo, creative, the underdog)
- Educated (brilliant, problem-solving, resourceful)
- Straight-Edged (no booze, no smokes, no drugs)
- Tall Healthy Handsome (vegetarian, good build, and a great arse)
It only takes ONE DATE for me to know if I'm truly what you want. I've never needed a second date with someone who became my partner. So no second dates for me.
I believe laughter between two people should be just as plentiful as food and sex.
I'm not the beer-loving, outdoorsy, sports fanatic..."here's a picture of me downward facing dog on a mountain" - kind of guy. I'd rather climb you than some large rock. Lots of chicks dig unavailable men. I'm not one of them.
I live by the motto, "It's about liking who you are when you're with that person."
I am most free (to shine) and be present (zen) when I'm with a woman who doesn't avoid love or hides her heart behind layers of doubt and mistrust. Your walls of hurt, shame, and pain should be tumbling down on their own, you don't need my help with that, but I can help you feel more secure with my "I got your back" love style.
Greatest piece of advice I ever got about dating, was during my short stay in a monastery in Northern India.
I asked an elder monk about relationships. Not sure why...but I was curious. He said,
"boy sees girl, he crosses bridge over stream to girl - no good. Girl sees boy, girl crosses bridge over stream to meet boy - no good. Boy and girl cross bridge SAME TIME, they see reflection in stream. That is what it should be for you!"
Overall, I care more about what is between your ears than what is between your legs.
If I were a Loony Tunes character - I'd be a combo of Daffy Duck, Pepe Le Pew, and Gogo the Dodo bird = Energetic, Passionate, and Wacky.
Step out of the comfort zone and meet me at the bridge, I've left a trail of breadcrumbs just for you... (added a little corniness there for posterity).
Don't be boring. Be YOU.
Namaste!

Meet people from Oakland, United States. I smell like justice, feel like Charles Bronson and taste like sucess lit on fire by ambition. I wear a cape and a mask and have tatoos of Dr. Phil in three separate parts of my body. I've invented a cologne that smells like kool-aid and a lingerie for women that holds the scent of captain crunch. I'm a real class act.

Meet single man from Oakland, United States. If you ask me, I am a funny, outgoing easy guy to get along with...my friends would say... I hope! I will try anything once...most of the time. I like to do many things, such as play golf. The question is...am I any good? Only one way to find out...or I could just tell you. As you can see, humor is a must for me. I am a smartass, in a goodway. If you can't handle that, then I am the wrong person to hang out with. At the same time, I can be a nice guy...;)! There re many other qualities that are important to me, too many to list. My moddo in life is one step at a time.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am the type of guy who always likes to keep you laughing and keep the mood light and happy. I love going out and having fun, whether it be a delicious meal or a great live band. I love to be active and do stuff outdoors - hiking, biking, sailing, skiing, you name it. I try to be happy as much as possible and keep a positive outlook. I enjoy people's company and i am looking for someone who has similar values. Someone who is comfortable in their own skin and knows what they want and need to be happy. Someone who can let loose and have a good time, and not worry about what people think. I want someone who has their own individuality and will let me be my own person too, without trying to change me and shape me into something they want. I want someone who will accept me for me, and embrace life together. I tend to be laid back and mellow, and i am looking for the same. I love going out but also know when its time to lay low - and definitely like those lazy nights on the couch watching tv or a movie. I like good food and although i enjoy cooking, i am best when at the helm of the BBQ. I grew up on the east coast and i have lots of unique attributes. I learned to sail at a young age and worked as an instructor for many years. I am smart, i hold an MBA in marketing and i love my job. I'm comfortable in my own skin and i know what i want. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Meet a man from United States. I'm looking for that ONE.... the special person in my life that will make it all complete. She has to be intelligent, faithful, honest, and self-aware. A motivational drive for success is a plus... Must have charisma and tact - a great sense of humor is a REQUIREMENT!! Of course I'm also looking to meet new people that enjoy having a good time...
I'm originally from New Jersey (born and raised) and have lived in Virginia Beach and Dallas. I've recently moved to the San Francisco area and know NO ONE here :( I'm relatively new to this online match-making bonanza, so be gentle! Upon high recommendations from recently single friends, Match.com found its way into my wallet and all over my Visa Debit card, so here I am - FULLY SUBSCRIBED!
I enjoy the finer things in life and love education. I dislike the fact that I cannot master everything there is to do because life is just too short. I seem to have an interest in any and everything! I am known as a clown and can be quite a handful on your cheeks if you laugh too hard and for an extended period of time. I'm a Denzel Washington fan and always enjoy Al Pacino/Robert DeNiro flicks. I love to help people, give whenever I can, and always remember when I think I have it bad, someone has it worse.
I'm thankful for what I have and never forget the people that helped me get to this point in my life. I am VERY picky and can be indecisive sometimes because I become overly analytical (especially when deciding what to eat).
And now... some randomnesss....
I like my fish grilled and not fried. I enjoy steaks medium, and I never put gravy on my mashed potatoes. I always come to a complete stop at stop signs and will try a food at least once if the recommendation is coming from a person of good rapport. I want to skydive, and I don't particularly like suped up Honda Civics and their mufflers. Until I moved to Dallas, I had never heard the phrase, "I'm fixin to do it," and never met so many people that owned an armory of guns at their homes. I play the piano and own a motorcycle. I have two brothers, one in New Jersey and one in Florida. Until last year, I had never been on a cruise. Sometimes I trade the stock market, other times the stock market trades me. If offered a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360, I'd take the 360. I've been caught snoring in my sleep, however, after several unsuccessful attempts at catching myself snoring in my sleep, I have concluded that the phenomena of snoring does not exist. Whipped cream... on everything. Yeah.

Meet single man from United States. I'm an energetic, kind guy who loves to spend a lot of time with friends & family. I have lived in numerous places around the country and have found that the Bay Area is home. I like to travel at least once a year, on top of a road trip or two. I love wine tasting, just driving out to wine country with friends and making a day of it, I also like tasting locally like Rosenblum. I spend a lot of time with theatre, both creating and watching, it's a great community to be involved in around here. I'm a bit of a foodie, so trying new restaurants or going back to ones I love is a great time to me, especially sharing it with people. I'm looking to meet someone great.
