Date a man from California, United States. I am an attorney practicing in San Francisco and residing in Greenbrae. I represent policyholders in coverage disputes with their insurers. I was raised in Orlando and schooled in Tallahassee (FSU) with degrees in History and Law. I emigrated from Florida right after law school and have since lived in San Francisco and south Marin. I have two brothers, a younger one who followed me out here and lives in San Rafael and an elder who remained in Florida.
My goal a match. My reason for wanting that is probably the same as yours: With a little help from our friends an unshared life can be great fun once you’ve mastered the art, and yet is not to be compared to life and memories shared with one who is dear to you. It’s better with a girl. A lot better.
Off the job my passions are, in no order: 1) History - Western Civ and US, all periods. Much of my reading is related to history; 2) Travel in Europe - most of my vacations have been spent in Europe or NYC. I am open to traveling in other areas but am drawn to great cities; 3) Art and the history thereof - particularly painting, one of the reasons for my interest in European travel; 4) Movies – a buff; all types except action films and animation; 5) Shakespeare – I’m trying to set up a Shakespeare reading club. If I succeed it will by my third; 6) Food and drink – convicted hedonist; 7) Politics and foreign affairs - if you don’t enjoy politics these days then you just have no appreciation for farce. My politics are center-left, and I’m about as moderate as that sounds except that I regard far-righties as hicks and ignoramuses. 8) Music – intense lover of almost all types, including the entire American songbook, but not post-eighties pop or anything resembling rap; 9) Humor – all forms, not just Republicans, though we do owe them so much in this area; the genius of Stewart, Colbert, and Maher. 9) Above all the conversation of friends. Love to meet yours.
I seem to have an affinity with NYC, as I am a regular reader of NYT, New Yorker magazine and the New York Review of Books. As to books, current reading includes Heisenberg’s War, Muhammad and the Believers, Scorpions (re FDR's Supreme Court), and Arguably, a collection of essays by Christopher Hitchens.
I’m supposed to describe the girl I’m looking for - her qualities - but I’m not sure I can. Obviously we must share values and interests, the more the better, which is why I have laid mine out at such length. But as to personal traits I just don’t know. If it’s right we’ll know. The process is still a mystery, Match.com's algorithms notwithstanding. - mam
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a very successful, well-educated person who has the time and resources to enjoy life. I'm looking for a self-confident, assertive woman who wants an equal partnership. One who doesn't hestitate to speak her mind but also isn't afraid to let her feminine side show.

Of course, she also expects the same from me.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I am a lone but not lonely. Out of choice I spend 80% of my time alone. 5 months a year I live 7 miles from a pave road, 26 miles to the grocery store, at 9,000' elevation. Southwest Colorado. I have gone as long as 30 days without seeing or speaking to anyone.
However, I am very comfortable, fluid and engaging in social and business situations.
My wife and I averaged 15 hours a day together, 365 days a year for 25 years.
There is a Zen koan that goes: "things are not as they seem, nor are they otherwise". That saying can be applied to my age.
I will be part of a 4 person bike team racing in the 2012 Race Across America (RAAM). RAAM is the toughest bike race in the world, It is twice as long as the Tour d France in one third the time. This year the fastest 4 person team biked across the US in 5 days, 17 hours. I am 52, 48, 35 years older than my team mates. From a physical and vitality perspective I am closer to their age than my chronological age.
I have been doing yoga for 30 plus years. I have been doing zazen (sitting meditation) in the Zen tradition for 30 plus years.
On the handsome scale I have been told that I am in the acceptable range, maybe a little bit more, and I am extremely fit If we communicate I will explain why I do not have a photo of myself on my profile.
I am not much for small talk. Substantive, probing and logical conversation is my preference. I watch very little TV, mostly PBS, The Daily Show With John Stewart and a little news.

Most of my time is consumed by the foundation I founded 10 years ago. Its mission is to provide safe drinking water to rural communities in developing nations. Since founding it, it has become the organizing principle of my life.
I have traveled 2.5 million miles, therefore, I am not too interested in traveling. There are three place I want to be: My Colorado cabin, my Kentfield,CA home, Puako, HI. Other than that I have only traveled on foundation.business. However, a partnership is just that. Partners willingly accommodate to the needs, wants and desires of their partner.
Love can bring people together, however, respect is the glue that can keep them together. Love is freely given. Respect must be earned. Therefore, work diligently at earning your partners respect.
I am looking for someone who is comfortable being alone and understands the importance of earning respect.

Meet someone special from Greenbrae, United States. I just graduated college and am looking forward to starting the next phase of my life! I am looking forward to learning more about, and experiencing the art world around me. In relationships, I look for someone who has a great sense of humor, who knows who they are, and what they want in life. I am very motivated and driven, and like to be around people who also have goals and dreams that they are striving for. I love to be around people who are spontaneous and like to have fun!
Date men and women from California, United States. Words used to describe me: confident, genuine, smart, classy, bold, charming, warm,funny, driven, playful and soulful.
I am currently a graduate student obtaining my masters degree in organizational psychology as well as my MBA down in LA. I am up here for the summer, working in SF, and come back frequently, I figure you never know who you might meet!. Although I love my school and the people in it, I would prefer my romantic partner be outside of my small academic circle. My program is incredibly demanding, but I feel like I am at place in my life where I am ready to make room for someone else.
With that being said, a little about me and what I am looking for right now.
Personality is basically EVERYTHING to me, yes, I need to be physically attracted to you but for me, personality will completely determine if I am attracted to you or not. I like strong personalities with a lot of confidence, charm and a fantastic sense of humor and someone who is dependable. If you are comfortable in your own skin and you can take me making fun of you as well as dish it out then we should have no problem getting along :) I enjoy people who can keep their head up when things get hard and also know when to ask for help. I am very physically affectionate and am looking for someone who is also comfortable with giving and receiving affection. Yes, I did win best hugger in high school and a good cuddle goes a long way :)
Stimulating intellectual conversation is also very important to me, I enjoy people who are talkative and who can express themselves easily and can feel comfortable talking for hours or comfortable in silence. Although I am incredibly social, I feel I strike a nice balance between work and play. I am very driven yet I always make time for the important people in my life. I am also very physically active, I love playing sports, specifically playing soccer, running and snowboarding. I love going to live games, camping hiking etc. I can rough it with the guys just as easily as I can get dressed up with the girls. And you have to be comfortable wrestling with a girl :) (I'll give you my best)
I love to be around people who challenge me and push me to be better in every area of my life. I am a fan of always improving. And as deep and as intellectual as I like to get, I love to let loose, be ridiculous and laugh until I cry. My friends are ridiculous and I love them to pieces. If you can make me laugh, you are a rock star! I hope I am not asking for too much, but I know what I want...so just be awesome, because that is all I'm going to bring to the table.
The best thing an ex would say about me is that I am incredibly level headed, I am not much for drama and considering my degree I am very capable of smoothing over fights. There is always another side to consider and I am pretty quick to admit when I am wrong. Thus, I am also looking for a level headed partner, if you loose your cool easily then you will have better luck elsewhere. Also, if you are an avoidant type, who scares easily with intimacy or finds yourself sprinting out of relationships far too early with little reasoning as to why. Please, keep moving along :)
Finally, banter, I am ALL about it, the more the better. Sharp wit is INCREDIBLY sexy.
Due to my school work being so demanding I don't really have time for winks, although they're nice :) So please feel free to message me if you are interested.
Best of luck in your search!
Meet men and women from California, United States. As much as I love unwinding at a bar after a long day at work, it's not exactly the place I would imagine myself meeting someone important, so here I am :) In a world where your life is consumed with "big girl" responsibilities (I hate them sometimes!), I prefer to reserve the valuable free time with good friends at a dinner party or a stroll down the Embarcadero with someone special. While growing up in Asia in my childhood, I learned to cherish the different cultures, food, and develop a love for travel and experiencing the unknown. I love to go snowboarding in Tahoe and laying out in Stinson Beach the next day. I love pushing myself to jump out of an airplane when I thought I could never attempt to do it because I was too scared to try. I love seeing images and hearing stories about places I've never been to and then seeing them with my own eyes the following year to say "those pictures and stories didn't do any justice for how beautiful it is with my own eyes". Now, I want to be able to do all of these things with someone special that can appreciate the same out of life. I'm a very easy going, spontaneous at times, "don't dare me too much cuz I'll do it" kinda gal so if you like to experience a nice dinner dressed to the nines one night and then enjoy a night in with take out and PJs, let me know - I'll share the fried rice with you :) My career is really important to me but balance is definitely what I'm looking for. I've been in banking for almost ten years now and love every minute of it! I'm a die hard fan of the SF Giants and REALLY REALLY want to land a spot on the TV show The Amazing Race! Will you be the one to do the show with me? LET"S DO IT!!
Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a fun loving, low drama, very social goofball looking for the same. I have a great job, but it doesn't define me. I love my life and I'm always looking for ways to make it even more awesome. Having someone to share it with is the missing piece.
Meet a soulmate from United States. This is a completely new experience for me so please be patient and understanding.
It is the little things that can go a long way. A simple smile or gesture can say a lot without saying anything at all.
I am a genuine and honest person that loves hanging out with my friends and family. I love making others happy. There is nothing better than to see a smile on someones face that I care about. I am competitive by nature. I guess the 13 years of training in classical ballet and playing soccer all the way through college (believe it or not I did do both) had a big part in it. I give 120% in everything I do. My friends would say that it is because of my loyalty and work ethic. Having fun is at the top on my list. I can have fun anywhere, whether it is going for an impromptu hike, out to dinner, or staying in and watching a movie I am up for almost anything. I have recently started training for Tough Mudder in Tahoe. I don't know what I got myself into but it looks like a blast!
I have recently been given the opportunity to go back to school to pursue my ultimate career, ER Nurse. I am very passionate about the medical field. I love constantly learning new things and am looking forward to helping people on a daily basis. If I can have a positive impact on one persons life then it is a good day!
I have two wonderful little girls, ages 4 and 6. They are the light of my life. I absolutely love spending time with them. They have developed a passion for soccer. I guess it was bound to happen seeing that not only did I play soccer in college but my brother, sister, and so far 3 of my cousins did as well. Hopefully one day soon I will be coaching their soccer teams :) The next challenge would be to get them on skis!
I am looking for a genuine, honest person that loves to stay active and enjoy the outdoors, but at the same time can enjoy a nice quiet evening at home. A sense of humor would have to be a must as well. I tend to have a little sarcastic and love to laugh! Overall I am looking for someone that I can enjoy spending time with.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am a happy woman who loves to enjoy life and laugh often! I know what I want and do not want. If games or "serial" dating are your style or your on Match for a "hook up"... I am not the girl for you. Ok, had to get that out of the way! :-) I will speak the truth and I would like that in return. COMMUNICATION is important in any type of relationship as is respect and honesty. My friends would say I am loving, happy, loyal, motivated, fun... Are you the same?
I am a girl who can wear jeans, tee and flip flops and just as easily can get dressed to the nine's! I love going out and experiencing different places and I love trying new restaurants. Spending down time at home with my man is just as great! I find it really dosen't matter what you are doing...because with the right person anything can be fun and enjoyable! Love trips to the coast, Napa,Tahoe, Palm Springs, Las Vegas...
I would like to meet a MAN who is funny, committed, communicates effectively, is secure wih himself, is a gentleman and can appreciate a confident, loving, passionate, secure woman. A man who plays no games and can be honest. A strong man, but not cocky. I know how a man should be treated, respected and loved. In return I simply ask for the same. I love the life I have....I have a wonderful network of friends and family who will always be a part of my life. I would like to share my life with a special somone...don't we all!? lol. Someone who can be my friend, partner, lover and accept me for who I am...as I will accept you for you!
Any of the above got your interest? Let's chat or get together for coffee and see where it goes! ;-)
Thanks for stopping by! Live, Laugh, Love!
Meet people from United States. My firends describe me as a fun loving person with a big heart but I'll leave you to be the judge of that!
IРІР‚в„ўm the type of person whoРІР‚в„ўs quite care free but can be a control freak when it comes to certain things like my work and profession. I was born and raised in the Philippines and migrated to the United States 10 years ago. Filipinos by nature and culture are usually clannish and very family oriented, needless to say during my weekend I spend a lot of time hanging out with my family and friends hanging out with the kids having a bbq and enjoying a refreshing cocktail. When it comes to dating you could say IРІР‚в„ўm quite old-fashioned, I appreciate a guy who is a gentleman and knows how to treat a lady. I prefer to keep things simple and honest, I have no time for games and dramas as I believe that would be a waste of time and effort on both parties.
I believe a good relationship starts with friendship and seeing where it goes from there
