Date men and women from California, United States. I play a few roles: dad, friend, English professor, ex, musician, writer, poker player (sort of)...
I've got 2 boys, 8 & 6, who are, in theory, a joy--though not always in practice :) They simultaneously age me and keep me young.
I love to read, when the job leaves me time (or energy). My favorite books are difficult reads that I only recommend to people who love challenges (they're not for everyone!), but I also love good sci-fi (the kind that make me think) or mysteries (the kind that think for me).
I like at least a few songs from every genre of music, though there's a lower chance I'll like it if it's country, rap, or hip-hop. My favorites tend to be women songwriters (Sam Phillips, Suzanne Vega, Sarah McLachlan, et al.) because they feel most authentic, even though I don't really believe in authenticity.
If I had to choose a religion, I'd probably be Buddhist. I don't have to, though, so I'm not. But I do try to live primarily in the present and to have a "mind like water." Notice, though, that I said that I *try*...
I don't like going to sleep, but once I'm there, I hate waking up.
I prefer small parties to big ones.
I choose gin over scotch, though that's a recent phenomenon.
I can play guitar and bass. I'm dabbling a little in mandolin. I can sing, and I used to write songs. Drums and piano take too much coordination, though.
I don't like *writing* so much as I like *having written.*
I'm not a sports fan, though I love volleyball. And at the risk of sounding like a dirty old man, I especially love beach volleyball.
Like 90% of all poker players, I believe I'm better than average.
I know that my two favorite movies are *Blade Runner* and *The Matrix,* but I can't decide which I like more.
As for "who I'm looking for"... well, this may be a cop-out, but: I have no idea. I'm not even sure that I *am* looking... Still. much of the best in life has shown up when I wasn't really trying...

Meet a soulmate from Grass Valley, United States. When it comes to me and my outlook on life, I’m not a complicated guy. I'm honest, trusting, caring, and loyal- all the key qualities that will serve me well in a relationship. I’ve been told that I’m easy on the eyes and though I’m too modest to call myself attractive, I’ve been told I am the type of guy that women would be proud to have on their arm. I’m supportive but not smothering, a good listener but a good communicator in general. I tend to fall more on the shy side, but I’m confident and passionate about many things in my life.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’m a sports fanatic, but I will say that I’m a fan. I especially enjoy baseball and attend the occasional Giants game. I’m a car guy and have a “34” Chevy street rod. I also enjoy racing and I collect signed automobilia as well as baseballs. To relax I love to grab a bite to eat, watch a movie or TV, or drive to a foggy coastal town and wander through the stores. I like some travel, though I prefer to go to Bodega Bay, north, even to Canada, though it's been awhile since I've been that far. I've been to 30 states, mostly when I was a kid.
I don’t have a long list of requirements when it comes to what my match must have. A lot of it is based on chemistry and if there is a connection between us. I do notice someone’s looks, but personality is just as important. I’m looking for someone that is intelligent and can hold an interesting conversation. I’m a very trusting person which has unfortunately cost me a lot in the past. But I feel it’s important to give my loyalty and trust to the person I am in a relationship with. I hope to meet someone who feels that honesty, trustworthiness, and kindness are the cornerstone to a successful commitment. If you are interested in getting to know me better, I hope to see an email from you soon.

Meet people from Grass Valley, United States. Ok here's my story. I'm a happy artist with a race car brain (not that I'm into race cars :). Three years ago after a long time in LA, I relocated to the Sierra Foothills both to elevate my elevation and to live closer to nature. I make paintings out of wood (marquetry) as well as fancy artisanal furniture. I love my 2 amazing kids (11 1/2 and 13) who I share 50/50 with their mom. I'm passionate about food and cooking. I enjoy all kinds of outdoor fun, both active and contemplative. I love to explore, travel, discover, uncover and recover. I declare myself to be kind and loving, fit and healthy, principled but non-judgmental, playful but well trained, perfectionistic (I know - good and bad, but mostly about my work), compassionate and generous, optimistic and worthy! Hey this is a listing after all.
So I'm looking for a partner to double the perspective and share bliss with, who is committed to living consciously and communicating honestly. I'm hoping for a great sense of humor to go with a great pair of legs! (For the record, I believe the sexist part of a woman's anatomy is her brain.) Home stretch: sweeet, well educated, passionate, appreciates kids, lives in the present, loves animals, lots of chemistry with me, loves love.... Wish us luck!

Date a man from United States. Like many of you reading this, I feel like a new phase of life has opened up for me. I spent many years raising two daughters, and now that my youngest has turned 21 and graduated from college, my time and money are my own again. I just moved to the Grass Valley area. I bought some land and am building a house on the side of a mountain. It's beautiful here. It's nice to see the stars again.
I have taught middle and high school for many years. and in my life have been heavily into exercise, meditation, and music. Btw...I like all kinds of music, including some rap. (so many women say "and I don't like rap music" in their profile. Why bother to say anything at all?) I love tools and machines and the ability to understand and repair things, or create a new solution. I'm always on the go. No couch potato here. While I like order and routine, I love let go and be spontaneous...road trip? Life is such an adventure!
* * ,
I appreciate and respect woman who think globally, respect the Earth, love plants and and animals...an appreciation for all living things. A woman who is secure enough so that my assets and income aren't on the first-date questionnaire. I enjoy being a gentleman and being with a woman who isn't past wanting to feel feminine and sexy. Yes!
Thank you for checking out my profile.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I think most would describe me as trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent... no wait.... that's the code of the boy scouts...please excuse my flashback. How most people would describe me is very laid back, calming, quiet and reserved - with a good sense of humor. I love to laugh and facilitate laughter. I do things to keep healthy - exercise, eat right, floss. I like all animals -especially my dog since she always seems to be so happy to see me. I am quiet sometimes to a fault but the good side of that is I am a darn good listener. I like to consider myself imaginative and creative. I am considerate, caring and very loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient... there I go again..
I am looking for what the majority on this site are looking for - that someone that is just so...... right. I think that is the best I can do to describe who I am looking for. If we find each other we will know. I know it is asking for alot but I guess you cannot win the lotto if you don't play.....
