Date single man from Mill Valley, United States. I am grateful that I can jump in and begin fresh every day. My life has already been an extraordinary adventure. I think some of this spirit and my sense of potential came from the fact that I raised my two sons on my own (now grown extraordinary men with who I gratefully share warm and abiding relationships). They keep me on my toes as much alive today as they ever have. Some of it also came from my father who was my best friend.
I am highly energetic, hardworking (and playing), person that likes to experience and to get things done. I am a deeply romantic person. I love intimacy and sexuality. I marvel at times at the accomplishments of my fellow man.
I am looking for a woman that is a team player, knows how to engage in intimacy (into-me-see) and shares many but not necessarily all of my interests. She is emotionally mature (not finished, just willing to get there). I am looking for my best friend and lifelong partner that can enjoy a variety and challenges in life. She will be equally comfortable and stunning dressed up divinely for the ballet as she will in dressing down to just have fun around the house or in the mountains or by the sea. I want us to be together as our primary persons. I want PASSION for me and PASSION for her as well. I hope she can work and play well with others. I am a romantic and adventurous in every sense of the word and want my partner to be as well. From the quietude of sitting on a mountain top admiring grandeur in silence together to passionate love making being intimately connected is essential. She will have to accept my Poodle as her spiritual guide as do I! :)
Be Well!
Meet people from Mill Valley, United States. YOU ARE witty, spontaneous, intelligent,
. . . . . . and sober most of the day . . . . . . . . .
YOU are funny, sometimes silly, enjoy the absurd - and have a high tolerance for my bad jokes!
In personal relationships, YOU value intimacy and touching, sometimes without batteries!
YOU are quite intelligent regardless of education. You privately question many cultural values, and much scientific "truth".
YOU consider yourself attractive, and enjoy dressing to show yourself to best advantage.
Ignoring my humorous comment above, you value intimate sharing and exploration - even not explicitly sexual, such as touching and massages.
Regardless of your religious beliefs, YOU try to live life according to the Golden Rule. (It's my only religion.) YOU share my belief that common courtesy helps keep a relationship together, even when 'familiarity' sets in.
I have always been enamored of women who are as tall as me. Of three qualities I admire, - funny, smart and attractive - I will take the first two anytime.
I have learned that things are better shared, and consequently look forward to sharing similar experiences with you.
In relationships, I have always done my share of the dirty work - bathrooms and dishes, ovens and windows, yards and cars, dogs and cats, bacon and eggs, Rogers and Hammerstein.
I was raised in Florida, and will forever speak with a soft southern accent. I have resided in the San Francisco Bay Area for most of my life - except for a period traveling on international business.
I like reading non-fiction. My intellectual passion is exploring the history and philosophy of theoretical mathematics and physics. I find fascinating those tenets of science ascribed to by consensus rather than by logical development - favoring the latter. I have spent many years analyzing the historical background of major scientific principles.
(Meeting someone with a similar interest, and a logical or scientific background, would be most desirable - but is not necessary)
I occasionally enjoy offbeat movies. Especially foreign or domestic movies that have raised questions for me to later think about. (However, I must shamelessly admit to having viewed "Men in Black" three times!)
Spectator sports and television is not high on my list of priorities. Reading, getting alternate news via the internet, and research are my chosen personal activities.
Some things I would like to do:
- Learn to dance (again) - Lessons in my youth went unused as popular styles at any one time rarely featured the classics - waltz, tango, etc.
- Live in another country (again) - you do not know your own culture until you contrast it with another.
- Live on a boat or near the ocean.
WE COULD BE friends that would enjoy knowing one another, regardless of romantic intent. In the long run, I seek a friend and lover that I would care about until the end of time. (Schmaltzy, but true!)

I often change my listed age due to cheap personal vanity and an unrealistic sense of expectations. Regardless of any age posted with my profile, I am 67 . Unlike others, I look much older than my age, am a curmudgeon living in the past, and really should be quite dead by now !

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longings"
Meet a soulmate from Mill Valley, United States. Some years ago, elements of the political and economic climates ended a long career in international motion picture production, allowing me an opportunity to take another look at my experience and surroundings. I was struck with the emphasis, in this country of unparalleled opportunity, on material possessions, with how very hard we all work in order to maintain what we refer to as the "American Dream". Realizing that much of my material accumulation had become more of an anchor than a sail, I began to observe how many peoples throughout the world lived happier, more fulfilled lives - lives in community with their fellows - without the burden of our 'civilized' trappings.
Living now on investments and part-time work with my own hands, I have freed myself to travel, to further experience, to give more to others rather than take from them, and to appreciate my place and its opportunities in this unique and special adventure
Yet…. one thing remains a dilemma to me: �age’.
No, I’m not 57. After all the hesitancy about �misrepresenting’, the often angry feedback about �lying’, every woman I have met (and then come clean, as it were) has expressed something equivalent to “no wonder!”
Like many of us of this era, I hardly look my age. Unlike most, though, I am tremendously active, never sentient, usually on my feet, travel frequently internationally, engage in many sports, etc. Unfortunately (and I humbly apologize to you who are rare exceptions), women my age are not as active, and often cannot keep up with my energy – intellectually, socially, physically, or sexually. For them, these years are defined by entertaining the children (or grandchildren!), fine dining, visits to the spa. For me, they are what new trail I can discover, what new place to explore, what new project to challenge me, what new mind to connect with.
So I have listed my age at one at which I might connect with a woman of like nature, despite the inherent criticism that comes with being a male and preferring the company of a younger female, as there are many more than one reason for that.
If you are in your forties to early fifties and have discovered the advantages of men who are no longer (except, perhaps, in their heart of hearts) boys, then you know. Emotional stability, life-knowledge and experience, inner peace and acceptance all come with age; complacency, boredom, inactivity, close-mindedness don’t have to.
For me at least, the strong belief in “everything happens in its time, for its reason”, and “build it and they will come” – slogans of intention, synchronicity and fate provide an answer. So I send this message into the ether in hopes that someone will resonate not so much with the words and images – although they are important – but with the energy behind them.
Come to Bali in the winter and find me. I am generally there from December to May. Let me share with you my definition of paradise and introduce you to a unique individual who might possibly become the one you’ve always hoped to meet.

I will take on an adventure on a moment's notice . I like to share thoughts, feelings, laughter and food. I am partial to foreign films, the symphony and the blues.

Date people from United States. Adventurous, creative professional (Project Manager) who likes to hike, walk, loves movies, books (mystery, sci-fi, and the occasional non-fiction).I'm ready to spread my wings and see what the dating world has to offer. I'm currently doing some pastels and pencil drawings to keep myself out of trouble. I like to travel - I've been to France, London, Rome, India, and Thailand. I'm also happy just hanging out in the garden. I've been hiking on the Mt. Tam trails to balance out my day job and I would love to share that with a special guy. I was born and raised in New York City and I've lived in Marin for 22 years.
Looking for a man with a sense of humor and a good streak of integrity, active and silly, interested in the outdoors, going to museums and movies (action adventure, sci –fi, foreign, independent,) wants to travel across the country or across the world or just across the bay into San Francisco.

Meet someone special from United States. Bright, fun loving and easy-going, looking to share pleasure, laughter and caring with a similar man I'm crazy about and who's crazy about me. I'm athletic with a love of golf, sailing, tennis and biking. I'm looking to meet a terrific man who is intelligent, full of good humor and loving. Chemistry is important. The only traits that are essential are a sense of humor, honesty and kindness. I prefer someone who is bright, energetic, curious, kind, skilled and proud of his life and his character. Common interests are important and you are satisfied with who you are and are following some of your passions. A man who loves life attracts me because it is a perspective that enhances even the simpler aspects of living.

The thrill of sharing experiences and of knowing each other well are some of the great joys in life.
Date a woman from California, United States. I am a bright, thoughtful woman with character and integrity. At times I am witty and outgoing, at other times gentle, quiet, and reflective. I grew up in Chicago, came to the Bay Area for school, and have lived here ever since. Chicago taught me to be strong, and San Francisco taught me to be open. I love the diversity of cultures here, the exquisite natural beauty of the region, and the creativity you find around every corner.
I am a curious person who loves to learn. I enjoy exploring new places, playing with new ideas, and meeting new people from all parts of the world. Music and words fascinate me. Design intrigues me. European and Asian cultures captivate me. And animals of all kinds amaze me. I am never far from a wonderful new book or great new website.
I care deeply about people, health, international relations, and our collective future. While my concerns are serious, friends tell me that I can be funny, that I have a great sense of humor, and that I'm great at storytelling and making people laugh. Nothing is more wonderful to me than the sound of laughter or the look of shining, happy eyes.
My professional interests are broad, and I feel fortunate to have worked in business, education, and nonprofit organizations. On the business side, I may be the only person on the planet who has worked at Apple at one end of the innovation spectrum and PricewaterhouseCoopers at the other. I like discussing current events, going to the symphony and theater, and hanging out in the kitchen with friends, talking, joking, and cooking great meals.
I am someone who has learned from life's challenges and am looking for a wonderful man who has as well. I am aware that life is short and that every day counts. I am also aware that patience is a form of wisdom.
I would like to share the rest of my life with a kind and intelligent man who wants a close, lasting relationship. Ideally, he would care about social issues, love art and music, and value a strong and healthy mind and body. No one is perfect, least of all me, but by this point in life, most of us know the kind of partner we truly want. It takes courage and perseverance to find that person, yes, but the journey can be the opportunity of a lifetime and the reward beyond wonderful.
Thank you for reading these probably-way-too-lengthy comments. I trust that one day each of us will find the special person we are seeking. I still believe that wonderful things happen when the timing is right.

I have moved to San Miguel de Allende, for a while, and am enjoying making new friends, doing photography, enjoying learning about a new culture. I will be back in the S.F. Bay area within a few months. I'd enjoy communicating with you while I'm in Mexico with the hope of creating a caring connection that can be developed when I get back to CA.
