Date a man from Mill Valley, United States. I am a Rock n' roller and live a Vegan lifestyle. I love playing music and writing songs.
I spend a lot of my time working around and with plants profesionally. I really enjoy collecting and seeing new varieties.
I keep my body strong and healthy with diet and lots of exercise. I love to run and go horseback riding. I'd like a woman who is athletic too.
I am into personal growth and discovery.
Meet someone special from California, United States. What lifts my heart is the smile of a child...or anybody else for that matter, especially if I caused it. I consider myself kind and compassionate. I think I have big heart, extrovert and introvert, depending...
I have traveled the world, the best education there is. At times I will be highly social yet enjoy being home, naughty, sweet, funny, and serious when it is called for. I raised 1 child and took her to nearly every state in the nation....it has paid off.
I am an artist, made a life being a photographer, so I love creativity, spiritual fulfillment...I am most in tune with Buddhist/Taoist...The world must change in a big way....in so many ways...If you are on the same page...you know what I mean...Peace, love, understanding, the environment, sustainability. I am concerned mankind may not be up to the challenge, can you encourage me?
Variety is the spice of life...I love it all...what is around the next corner and what we may learn from that. I find myself very much wanting to share it with someone like minded...seems so rare...is it possible. I do not say that lightly, but passionately, to share that with another is one of the meanings of life.... Someone to be playful with, to travel with, to meditate with, to love an be loved.... The Holy Grail...
I love Eckart Tolle, Joseph Campbell, Thich Niat Hahn. I like nonfiction...I just discovered a new book called Journey of Souls, by Micheal Newton Ph.D that is actual stories of people under hypnotism, seems to discover what happens to people when they die. A subject that has always fascinated me but this book seems quite authentic. Although Photography/Artist is my first love, psychology has always been equal or a close second. Personal growth and understanding of the actions of others has always fascinated me.
I love all types of good music, especially Beatles, 60's, 50's, world music....on and on...love live music.
I love all the performing arts including Broadway plays and musicals....
I only do this because I am looking for a real relationship which seems quite elusive with meeting people randomly. I require integrity, honesty, creativity, can be serious, as well as laugh at yourself , have an interest in self improvement, mediation, love being outdoors in this great state, especially at sunset...maybe we should say hello and see what happens... like to swim?
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Currently taking a break on 'match' so I cannot respond to your e-mails; check for my name on "plenty of 'poisson' " as they say in french, or 'oh kay coo-pid' ... name may be all one word!
If you like plain vanilla sadly you found pistachio ….. thanks for checking but read no further - I would hate to disappoint. If you want reach me, be sure to read to the very end!
Raised in England, I came here for grad school and stayed – well for 20 odd years before spending seven years in Europe then returning to the Bay Area. While hardly a Brit, Americans still hear an accent, but I retain that quirky, dry,sense of humor percolated with Groucho's irreverence.
I am spiritual, grounded and clean up nicely when required ... there's a tux in the closet ! I love to cook, professionally on occasion, and will gladly for you! Entertaining friends for dinner, or visiting others to break bread is high on my list. I'm smart, a good conversationalist and better listener but weak on small talk and not great in large social situations.
Ex-real estate professional though never a broker, social profit now means way more to me than economic. Over the past 15 years I’ve dabbled with several non-profit ventures and am now building a project that brings exercise to people living with serious & chronic illness. Also involved in an �export-import’ biz that has taken me to Istanbul a couple of times but is temporarily (we hope) a casualty of the global recession.
Exercise has always driven me, from playing rugby, to marathons, triathlons, & my current passion – sculling. What other sport allows you to look a seal in the eye? Keeping very fit and great genes enable me to get away with a few years. In fact I'm 60 but show 58 for search purposes.
Head shots are all very recent!
I match best to women who are cosmopolitan, and uniquely stylish. You are artsy, thoughtful, compassionate and spiritual. Whether or not you have children, you enjoy them so much you decided to remain one! You catch fleeting glances; stay in great shape physically and mentally; have an offbeat sense of humor - maybe even an offbeat lifestyle, and care about the world and the people who live in it.
Meet a man from California, United States. I am a romantic guy looking for a romantic partner. English born but have lived in the U.S. since the late 1970's. Divorced with two daughters - both now graduated from college. Delighted to have lived in Mill Valley since 1996 but prior to that I've lived in Yorkshire, London, Oxford, Bermuda, Virginia, Vermont and New York City. While I love Northern California, I've continued to travel abroad extensively. Particular favorites: Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy. Lifelong lover of music, film and literature. An inveterate concertgoer. Recent shows: Paul Simon, Beck, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Arcade Fire, Wilco. Ten years ago I decided to train for a marathon just to see if I could do it. Unexpectedly, I enjoyed it and haven't stopped running since. Completed multiple Dipsea races, half-marathons and even the NY Marathon. Ran - slowly - the Big Sur marathon recently with the Chicago marathon coming up later this year . Other sporting interests: tennis, hiking, rugby (now as a spectator!), cricket ( ditto ), fly fishing, scuba,
squash.
Looking for what everyone else is looking for :a compatible partner. I'm a total believer in chemistry and instant attraction. We will know it if it's there!
Date men and women from California, United States. Hi, thank you for reading about me.
I am a nice, gentle, kind, positive, fit , funny, and fun-loving man. I love the outdoors, especially biking, hiking, skiing, body-surfing and swimming. I also love reading, dancing, watching ballet and modern dance, going out, hanging out, and just having fun. I am easy to get along with and always trying to practice the Golden Rule. I have passion for life, romance and adventure
I am positive, playful, intuitive, logical, athletic, kind, warm, empathetic, chivalrous and funny. I feel most alive when having intimate, deep connections. My Mother thought I was the nicest person and a great son. Before she died, she told me that I will go to heaven, for all good children go to heaven. I love strong women with a sense of self and humor. I love to travel, and have been to a fair number of places. I have a quick and off-beat sense of humor. I hope to find someone who “gets” me as well as I “get” her. I make the best of things. I am not afraid to make mistakes or laugh at myself. I believe that humor helps with many things. I am kind. I am naturally affectionate. I enjoy socializing and get along with just about anyone in any situation. I have great friends. I am a loving and involved father of 2 teenagers, we certainly love each other. I want to be my future partner’s best friend and supporter. I will cherish her. I am as honest as anyone can be. I listen well. I have coached 24 youth sport teams. I have taught children about heart, sportsmanship and compassion. I am as good a coach as there can be. I love to laugh. I love life.

Date single man from Mill Valley, United States. Some time ago I read an article in the NY Times in which a woman said that all she absolutely required in a man was that he have a passport and a library card. So, if we accept that as a bare minimum, I qualify. I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania. I went to sea on a freighter when I was 16. I'm interested in writing and literature. I keep a picture of William Butler Yeats on my mantle, I've been to several of the Dodge poetry festivals in New Jersey, I'm devoted to the sonnets of Edna St. Vincent Millay, and I like watching even bad Shakespeare (for instance, DeCaprio as Romeo). I've read Huck Finn three times and it still makes me laugh. In recent years I've gotten increasingly interested in classical music. I've traveled to more than 80 countries. I'm a decent skiier and backpacker. I also like sailing, tennis, and softball. I flyfish, but I have a lot to learn. Several years ago I visited Rome for a month and visited again last year. I've been to Paris several times in the past five years, as well as Montana (flyfishing). Ask me about dawn on a trout stream in the Sawtooth Mountains. I have a motorcycle and a Jeep. I'm interested in art and I've visited most of the world's major galleries. I like to go to films and talk about them afterward. I'm better on what happened, why it was interesting and the way it made me feel than I am with the names of directors and actors. There are other things. Maybe we could talk about them. I think the idea of this is that you meet someone new, you get to know each other, and each makes the other feel good about themselves. Beyond that, I'd like to meet someone with personal range. Someone who likes to do athletic, outdoor things and also likes to talk about literature and the arts. Interest in Shakespeare, ballet or the symphony a plus. A good sense of humor is important. Also, something unique and defining in your character.
Meet a man from Mill Valley, United States. As Don Draper once said, "I'm from the midwest. We were taught it was impolite to talk about ourselves." But...
For me, and hopefully with me, the journey is the reward. I can pretty easily entertain myself, and hopefully you, just walking down the street. When you take a fresh look at things, the most mundane things become interesting. As a semi-retired architect, I've had the background, and now have the time, to do a lot of wandering around.
You are, no doubt, an intelligent creative, energetic lover of good food, fine wine, and sunset walks on the beach between trips to Italy. (If there's a woman in all of Matchland that enjoys beer popcorn while watching a documentary video, please let me know.) While I like nothing better than discussing deep ideas, or whatever you just heard on NPR, I'm also fairly shallow. I actually like LA. I probably over-rank looks even more than the typical guy, while being even less romantic. I've never even aspired to be an alpha male, tending to be more of an observer than a mover or shaker. It seems listing shortcomings, or even actual age, on Match is fairly unusual. I tend to get along best with women about 10 "match-years" my junior within 10 miles of home. Being unrealistic about ourselves or our expectations makes it even harder to find a good match.
Seems like anyone who says "sixty is the new forty" doesn't have a very good memory. One good thing about growing old is that you get better at saying "no" to things you really don't want to do. Doing things you like doing is an amazingly simple recipe for happiness. Wish I had thought of that sooner.
On the other hand, I've lost a step or three. Best to think "athletic and toned" - "for his age." At least one friend would say I lack refined (if not basic) social skills and am too brutally honest. I have that common male malaise, fear of commitment. And that other one too. But if a good (if not great) time is being had by all, can it really be said I "suffer" from ED? That's a lot baggage to put on Match, perhaps too much. But I might pleasantly surprise you.
Thanks for reading, and good luck with your search.
Date someone special from Mill Valley, United States. I keep reworking this opening part where I think it's only fair to highlight my "separated" relationship status. Sometimes that fact gets glossed over. Two things are true on this subject. One, I've been spearated for a little over six years, one living in Los Angeles and the other (me) living in the San Francisco area. Two, other than in this forum, the reasons to go through the actual divorce exercise are cosmetic as opposed to meaningful... unless the right person comes along. The ending of my former relationship accurately reflected then, and does now, the indifference that led to its demise. Suffice to say if the paperwork becomes important I'll do it without a second thought.
My perfect match? If you've had any reasonable number of relationships you know there's no good answer to that question. Surprised the heck out of me every time. I do have a soft spot for warm, bright, witty women. If you like to flirt a little that's always nice.
This is my wish list. I'd like a woman who slips her hand in mine when we're walking or holds my arm when we're standing still for no other reason than she feels like it. Someone who knows what I think but lets me be the one to say it . Someone who likes to take a long drive just to explore. A flight for the same reason. A play or musical now and then. An outing around town doing things we've found in the Sunday calendar. I'm happy to walk on the beach but from the sounds of these profiles there's going to be quite a crowd there.
In all honesty, I understand the utility of listing favorite activities and destination interests and the like, but it's my experience the joy lies in sharing whatever the experiece with someone who makes you feel you really are having an "experience".
The short version is, suprisingly enough, I'd like to meet a bright, witty, attractive, sensitive woman who's loose enough to make it through life without a day planner. If these are your hallmarks, we have a starting point.
PS: If winks or likes are more in your comfort zone, please feel free to use them. Life often presents choices that merit more than a look but less than a commitment at first blush. Why should dating be any different?
Meet men and women from Mill Valley, United States. I am curious, bright, creative, genuine, resourceful, kind, and comfortable with myself. Enjoy the gym, hiking, smiles, laughter, stimulating conversation, learning, art, films, travel, sharing a meal.
My ideal companion would share the same characteristics that I hope I have. I seek a woman with whom I can form a strong friendship. I hope to find a gentle, kind person so that I can return the kindness.
Date a soulmate from Mill Valley, United States. If you were a wine, which wine would you be? Kidding! I'm NOT that corny. But I do have a decent sense of humor and I do enjoy a glass of wine...and not much more. (If you do not drink, NO problem). Even more, I love the art of pairing wines with their soul-mate foods, to bring out the best in both of them. I guess you could say I’m here on Match.com looking for the human version of that kind of pairing? About me: I’m an amateur chef. Since childhood I’ve been making up recipes, enjoying new foods, entertaining friends and family with my creations. I also love to golf...in fact these days I would rather do that than drink wine; take vacations of both the active, touring around Europe/Asia variety and the margarita/Mai Tai on the beach kind; read anything and everything from newspapers to food magazines to novels; and experience the symphony, museums, and the theater. Also, enjoy outdoor activities, exercise 4-5 days a week, day/weekend excursions, travel near and far, and meeting up with friends. Professionally I practiced corporate law for many years, then left first to do mergers and acquisitions in Silicon Valley and now in financial services. The law life taught me a lot about reading and understanding people, balancing work/life/play/relationships, laughing at the absurd, appreciating different points of view, compromising -- all things I’ve found make me a better person in my non-work life. My career even got me on TV a few times (in a good way. Really! It was not America’s Most Wanted). Think we’d go well together? Shoot me an email and let’s see how it goes! Main photo September 2011.
