Date men and women from United States / California / Berkeley, 67 year old

Date a soulmate from Berkeley, United States. Reader with classical tastes, writer of subversive provocations, French translator, folk musician, backpacker, tennis player, Zen practitioner and mild-mannered enemy of the state seeks magnanimous and intellectually alive companion to explore the tragicomedies of life and savor its ephemeral beauties.
Two of my main focuses are Zen practice and radical strategizing. Some people see these as mutually contradictory, but I think they complement each other. I relish the challenges they present and relax with a variety of lighter activities -- folk music, tennis, hiking, chatting, joking... I'm curious and considerate, playful and analytical. Usually very grounded -- except sometimes when a woman knocks me off my feet! The thing I love most in life is the spark of encounter and the joy of sharing experiences.
My ideal match would have enough lucidity to be aware of the problems in the world and enough compassion to try to do something about them when feasible, but also enough innocence and wonder to focus mostly on the beauties of life. She would have radical sympathies, practice some form of meditation, and be at least moderately well-read. That's an ideal, not a requirement -- but if you are not into any of those things, we might not have much to talk about!

Meet someone special from Berkeley, United States. I am a easy going person. I am a caring and empathetic person Fairly silly things can make me laugh. I enjoy taking day hikes in nature, and that is one of the places that I seem quite at peace. I enjoy the usual things seeing exhibits at the museums, listen to NPR, eating with friends, going to movies, reading.
I am looking for a warm, thoughtful intelligent woman to share our lives and thereby enriching our lives.

Date men and women from Berkeley, United States. I'm a spirited, active man who loves life, honest communication, and a deep connection with real people and with Nature. Fairly active - hiking, biking, skiing, travel - with a big, open heart for a generous-hearted woman who is fit, active, slender or average--I weigh 165 lbs.
I have a practice of Gratitude and know how to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, soup, veggies, great breakfast, and strong coffee. I'm monogomous and have been in long-term, meaningful relationships and am ready for my last, loving, passionate partner.
I'm financially secure and my partner would be the same. When we have so much to savor and enjoy in life there's no need to be materialistic; we'd rather travel, meet with family and friends rather than go shopping; we know how to cut loose and have a good time wherever we are.
I'd be extremely grateful if you are happy with yourself, compassionate, sensual, and affectionate with a streak of independence and a real girl who loves to dance in the kitchen.
You: you're a woman who knows and likes herself and has a warm and generous heart. You like to communicate and connect, quickly working through the differences to get on to the good stuff of being with a loving, supportive partner. You're not typical but unique with special, hidden gifts to offer. Extra magic if you love Italy--the land of my grandparents and "cugini"--learning italian, and discovering authentic italian cooking, traveling to Paris, Bali, Caribbean, Kauai.
Connecting at a deep mind-body-spiritual level is essential for the kind of passion and chemistry that makes it all feel so right and natural to be together while respecting time apart.
My interests range from Shakespeare to Santana to Rumi, both Dylans, Salsa and Swing; positive psychology; Public Radio--Wait, Wait & Terri Gross--The Buena Vista Social Club; Italy, Bali, Kauai; any book by Laurie King; fitness; and capuccinos and conversation.
I've taken classes at Esalen, Rancho La Puerta in Pilates, Yoga and, through trial and error, learned at lot about exercise physiology and what not to do. Would be glad to share and learn more.

Meet single man from Berkeley, United States. I am a lawyer and law professor who sometimes needs to hide from my profession. It might be watching a video with the doors locked, or

Date a man from Berkeley, United States. I am recently widowed after 38 years of marriage. I can cook, clean and do most everything around the house that is necessary for living. Because of this, I am looking for what I lost: a best friend and partner.
I am very smart, but my wife was significantly smarter than me and my daughter is also smarter than me. I love really smart and assertive women.
Body type is not important to me and my only criteria is for someone new not to be more than 50ibs above their ideal weight.
I am very loyal, emotionally expressive and cherish those traits in my partner. I am a cancer survivor for 10 years now. My wife brought me through that struggle. I was not able to bring her through her fight with cancer. I never thought I would outlive her but I did

Date a woman from California, United States. Hi there,
I've just moved back to the Bay Area from the Northeast. Glad to be home! Now, to cut to the chase:
IMy friends would describe me as gracious, trustworthy, honest, generous, intelligent, kind, loving, spiritual, and sometimes just a wee bit stubborn, I suppose, though I strive to let that go. I'm responsible and effective and efficient--could those be replacement words for "stubborn?" In my dreams. And sometimes I'm not those things.
I like to watch movies, read, write, dance, hike, cook, spend time with my family and friends,do yoga, swim, and walk my dog.
I travel well and have done a lot of that, living in other countries for a big part of my life. Happy to go, happy to stay; right now happy to stay--I just drove across the country!
Perhaps we are compatible; I will see who thinks so!
Good luck to us all,
Kristina

Date someone special from United States. IРІР‚в„ўm interested in just about everything. What would you like to talk about: Art? Bach? World affairs? Mozart opera? astronomy? Shakespeare? philosophy? Books? sports? travel? classic movies? Nothing at all? Let's do it together over a cup of espresso or a glass of full-bodied red wine.
IРІР‚в„ўd like to meet someone who excites me mentally as well as physically, someone who enjoys being open to numerous eclectic interests, someone who has as much fun laughing as I do myself. I'd like to find someone who would enjoy traveling with me occasionally to Europe, and, of course, someone with whom I can have a close physical relationship.
Yet, itРІР‚в„ўs a day-to-day enjoyment of interaction between people thatРІР‚в„ўs important: Sitting across the table from one another over a bottle of wine, or a cup of coffee, and talking about your reactions to the play you saw last night; or the news story you just listened to on NPR; or discussing your take on the recent exhibit at SF MOMA on California vs. New York artists; or watching old movies together; or giggling over an exchange of innuendo; or laughing out loud at just about anything.

Meet a woman from United States. My friends say I am compassionate, generous, down-to-earth and fun. I am youthful, tall, athletic and looking for a relationship of passion and mutual respect.

Trying to make the world a better place, building community and preserving our natural environment are very important to me. Raising my daughter has been my life's best adventure. Now that she is independent, it is time for me to find a companion for adventures that could lead to more.
I am looking for a man with energy, curiosity, a love of the outdoors, concern for the world, and an interest in finding an equal partnership of love, respect, and adventure; a man who can express his feelings and appreciates both a physical and an intellectual connection. Good communication and honesty are essential. Appearance isnРІР‚в„ўt the most important thing for me, but being tall and athletic would be a plus.
