Date men and women from United States / California / Palo Alto, 57 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I always try to give more than I take. I'm the guy at the intersection who waves you through before me, or lets you ahead of me in line if I have a full grocery cart. I'm a great handyman and drive around with a tool bag in my trunk to fix your broken light switch or leaky faucet. I know how to use a washing machine and would be happy to throw your clothes in with mine. And I always do the dishes, even if I cook for you - but it’s much more fun to make dinner together.
I was married for 21 years, divorced a few years ago and have been in a couple monogamous relationships since then. I'm a relationship-guy who embraces commitment. I'm also a nurturing dad of two "perfect" grown-up kids, a daughter at UC Santa Barbara and a son in High School. My stated age is accurate and all my photos are current.
I am energetic and positive, a relentless optimist. Very expressive and open with my thoughts and feelings. And I have a genuine and sincere interest in learning about others. I'm a great listener, and it seems most people have to insist that I stop asking questions so that I can talk about myself, too ... I inherited that from my mom.
I am a successful, high technology marketing executive but lead a double-life as a pop singer/songwriter (Google 'A Nice Vibe') with more than 630K fans on Facebook. I released three albums in 2010 and 2011, and recently signed an international distribution deal with Warner Music. I'm working on two more albums for release during 2012. Warner Music provides me Grammy tickets every year ... do you have a little black dress to be my date next year?
I am attracted to a woman who is excited about her life, and looks forward to 'what could be' but is also grounded enough to appreciate 'what is'. She also has a personal passion, be it creative, athletic, academic, anything that motivates and inspires her, and something that I can share.
I am seeking a long-term, family-oriented relationship (marriage) with a beautiful woman that I can cuddle with well into my 100's ... oh yes, we will live that long.
July 6, 2012 - I just pre-released song #5 (With Only You) of 12 from my new album (My Secrets) due out later this summer. Take a listen to A Nice Vibe on Facebook and tell me what you think.

Date people from California, United States. I'm a curious gentleman dipping my toe into the dating scene. I am well educated and have traveled extenively, mostly for work. I'm usually the one taking the photos so I"ll post some in the near future. In the meantime, thanks for taking the time to read my profile.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. My photos in suit were taken about four years ago and I have more grey hair (wisdom) now. The other two photos of me in dark shirt were taken on July 2, 2012. I bike two hours (round trip) to work everyday and am in good shape with a flat belly.
My friends describe me as a kind man with wit, charm, intelligence, and integrity.
I adore intelligent women and believe that to love a woman is to let her have lots of room to grow and to fulfill her dreams.
I seek an imperfect, but compatible, lady to spoil and to be spoiled.
I seek an educated, affectionate, and sweet lady to enjoy moonlight walks on the beach, watch autumn leaves on the mountain, listen to romantic harp music, visit museums, art galleries and bookstores, exchange love poems, and have a loving family.
I seek a gentle lady to give each other true love, make each other's dreams come true, bring out the best in each other, live through ups and downs, and enjoy life together.

Date men and women from California, United States. I am a sensitive and intelligent gentleman of Sicilian lineage. I consider myself young at heart with youthful and oftentimes liberal perspectives. I enjoy all of the performing and fine arts along with watching football, basketball, hockey or baseball. I am looking for a woman with a sense of humor, has raised her children, has a career or professional distractions, but would like to spend some time with a warm and friendly guy. I work in the wine industry, so that, combined with Sicilian/Italian upbringing, means I love all aspects of food and wine. I have an eclectic taste in music, love to cook - especially along side a woman who shares that passion; I am very tactile ... That is, I love physical contact - holding hands, hugging, gentle caresses, and more ... all in an appropriate manner at the appropriate, and welcome time. It is a shame that so many women have had to learn of a passionate relationship via "Fifty Shades of Grey."
Oh, and regarding the smoking comment, while I noted I was a "cigar afficiando" ... as a comment, I smoke a cigar only occassionally ...maybe once a month, AT MOST.
And, as far as MY body type, yes I DO have a "few extra pounds" but let me explain why and how I am dealing with that ... I am FIT but I can explain the "few extra pounds" issue ... Give me a chance...
:-)

Meet someone special from California, United States. Looking for a loving nice lady who is independent as I work long hours. Likes to enjoy california views, dance and talk. Likes to laugh and make me laugh. Likes to travel. I am new to this. It is intimidating to me.

Date a man from United States. I have a very quick and targeted sense of humor. I'm curious about everything, with a high ability to see the potential of putting things together. I'm often laconic, but not when telling a story or a joke. Honesty and integrity are a big part of my life. I have no preconceptions of what a perfect match is.
To be more fluid: I like to explore and experience and learn. Life is to do, not to watch. My typical first date (i.e. more than just coffee) is to fly down to Monterey for lunch. I prefer to take life with a sense of humor, but I know when to be serious and when to be quiet. I'm looking for someone who likes to do things, which might mean just spending an evening being comfortable. But sometimes you just have to do things differently, like getting married in a DC-3 over the Golden Gate Bridge, or moving to Denmark for a few years, or poking around inside a space shuttle.
I've always kept trying to make the world a little better through technology, one step at a time. I’m still doing that. And for the next few years, being a part time single parent to two clever teenagers.
I'm definitely not one to be judged by the cover. I'm often described as someone who "grows on people".

Meet single man from United States. I am very passionate about what I do. Although I take the time to plan and articulate goals, I prefer to live life in the moment. This combination of passion and responsibility is reflected in my work and play. As a mechanical design consultant, I mainly work on projects that I feel excited about, often related to medical, rehab, or exercise products. I like to create things with a positive social purpose, that move in interesting ways, or that have aesthetic appeal. I also coach springboard diving, which requires technical expertise and the ability to communicate and motivate.

Date people from United States. I recently moved back to the west coast. I spent my childhood years up to middle teens in the west. College years were in the midwest and then all the available good jobs in my field (rehabilitation research) were in the east. But patience is a virtue (as they say) and I am once again where I enjoy life the most. My two children are now in graduate school and, being by myself, I was able to go where I wanted to go. I have a great job and now would like to upgrade my personal life. I enjoy exploring all the fun things to do in the Palo Alto area with friends. It would be much better to explore with a special friend, if I can find her.
My "perfect match" is a woman who has confidence in herself and loves the playful give-and-take with a man who respects her. Can you tease and be teased? Can you laugh with me and also talk seriously about the issues that are important to both of us? Do you have emphathy for other people? Do you like to go out and have fun; dressed up for the symphony, jeans for the mountains or jazz clubs, or barefoot in beachwear walking along the beach as the sunsets and I have to remember to watch where I'm going (because you're so captivating)? And do you also like the quiet times on the patio with a nice glass of wine? Hopefully there is still a woman out there who enjoys the "nice guy" with a wild streak who isn't ready to give up on life yet.
After doing the email two-step, we could start with a place where we can talk (coffee, after-work drinks) and then if the initial impressions are good and after finding out what WE both enjoy doing for fun, go do it. Who knows, there may be someone in this area who is that special best friend where we compliment each other that leads to enjoying life to the fullest.
