Date men and women from San Anselmo, United States. Hi, thanks for dropping by to read my profile..........
Yet, this is the difficult part: How to write about myself without a touch of bias??! Words such as, “kind, loyal, fun, drama free, educated, athletic yet elegant, independent yet warm and affectionate,” come to mind. But, in the end, I would rather chat with you over the phone and meet you in person. That way I/we could assess whether my/our words align with the real person....
Nonetheless, perhaps I will share a few of my passions with you, as this may give you some idea of who I am: my three adorable children and black Labrador, my work (I am a nutritionist and author and enjoy motivational speaking) sport (I was an international track runner but now enjoy skiing; both mountain and road biking, swimming, yoga, dancing, hiking etc etc- Basically, anything in the outdoors) I am also passionate about making space in my life to spend quality time with close friends: Nurturing my existing friendships are far more important to me than having a large group of friends. I also love to camp and I am currently heading out on a ten day road trip to Bend, Oregon and later on a three day white water rafting trip with my children- with bikes, camping gear, fishing poles and also cute sun dresses in tow: I enjoy sport and love the outdoors. Yet, also being "girly" and elegant. Is this a paradox?!!
Essentially, I also like “dressing up” in elegant clothing, wining and dining, the theatre, musicals, the ballet, taking leisurely sunset hikes in the mountains or along the beach and travelling Europe etc etc! I don’t live in biking attire or hiking shorts all day long, let’s say!
What I am looking for in a man? .....Hmmm... let's see: "Mature", meaning he knows what he wants and is decisive and determined in obtaining it. Content and comfortable with his achievements. Yet, committed to bettering himself ...And just as importantly, has a PLAYFUL and spontaneous side to him with a touch of innocuous mischievousness! Life is too long not to have fun!
So say hello, as I am also looking forward to meeting some nice people and making new friendships via match too! :)

Meet men and women from California, United States. If you are a Buddha--- please read me:
Let's begin with the hard stuff up front (okay some of us string words together in a slightly unusual way):
I admit to myself and the universe that I want to find my true partner, one who is actively involved in awareness (Buddhist?) to share my life with under the same roof or even with others under the same roof.
The guy I am attracted to inspires love in me and thus knows how to start the process of attraction. He's kind, fun to converse with, generous, he calls and wants to do something specific moving the relationship along by showing up to see if being friends even works and he knows how to be free and give space. He isn't overwhelmed with a focus on his progeny and knows how to put the woman he's interested in --in a place at his level in his family dynamics or find out anyway if that makes sense. He cares more about meeting and hanging out --just being together makes him happy and he's really into us.
If you are still reading, I really want to love a Buddha. This means that you know through experience (lots of meditation or ?) what you are, you know "what is this" and what belongs to you emotionally.
I really want to bury my head in your shirt (while you wear it, silly at least at first). Am a little like an untamed animal - scared as you or more.
Here's a wishlist dear to my heart of who I imagine being interested in: He is easy-going, bright, focussed and motivated about his passion. He knows how to get out of his head and be aware. He is someone who is interested in the well-being of the world around him and from there understands me spiritually, politically, is willing to explore and is an interactive communicator. He enjoys walking, or is otherwise physically involved and fit and socializing and is really available for the adventure of a relationship. Do you relate to these? What's sexy to me is a guy who pays attention and spent time developing that --it costs nothing, yet, it's the most desirable---it's what love is really made from---and he "perceives" and wants to be patient and persevering, knowing that waiting to win a woman's heart and giving time to get to know each other will produce the best results.
And then there's the connection with Gandhi, Mandela MLK. So beyond his great pheremones in that t-shirt, I really hope that he supports making sure that our lives are for being awake and aware and beneficial for all beings.
I am spirited, sexy, accused of being funny, open and full of energy with a cute body which I'd like to share with someone who gives me time to fall in love with him. I am an adventurer of many countries and my own human spirit and other's, a natural designer, and a social contributor.
I love to have dinner parties. They feed my soul. It would be so cool to have one with you. I like enjoying the company of others and political social projects. Lately, I love walking and while I used to go to Shasta, I love the deer, raccoons, skunk and rabbits nearby.
I am learning to live in even more awareness, more and more in my life, and I feel compassion for people. Even though I attended an Ivy school ---I don't think about this ---(like I used to believe everybody knew how to camp, too) but a friend recently pointed out something about the intelligence quotient in my male counterparts and I thought it might be helpful to mention that. Even so, the heart is way important to me. It's the mixture of intelligence with the heart that creates wisdom and kindness. Maybe you got that way through kindnesses you showered on others.
So, I hope your heart is big with which to see me and the world... Does it sound like I want everything? I want to learn and that means I'm coachable---I don't even mind thinking that you're wiser than I am. I hope you are, too, both wiser and still coachable. I hope that one who knows, sees this.
One word from you and the whole universe is set right.
Wishing you bright illumination
Date a woman from California, United States. I am happiest playing outdoors in nature either alone or with friends, and you can find me hiking or running in the local hills, especially when the creeks are full, several times a week. Whether trekking in Nepal or cycling for a month in New Zealand with my best friend, volunteering in remote villages of Guatemala or backcountry camping in the beautiful Sierra's, life to me is an adventure. I am passionate about my journey and enjoy exploring new cultures and learning about people. I am committed to environmental and social consciousness, but not in the extreme. I love laughing and being silly, finding the joy in life, listening to great music (especially live), dancing (till i can't move anymore) , cooking and eating healthy food, relaxing with a great book or dvd, my children, my work, sailing, laughing, trying new things, deep connections and just enjoying life.
You live in the bay area and are easy going, spontaneous and adventurous, fun loving, intelligent, capable and compassionate. Some one who enjoys sharing experiences, but also has a life and interests of his own. A passionate person and sensuous kisser who balances the physical side of life, with emotional and spiritual pieces. Some one who is active and takes care of himself as a natural part of life. A person who is happy and content with himself and tries not to take things too seriously. Someone who can challenge me and make me laugh. A sweet guy with a little of a bad boy edge. I strive to see the world through a glass half full and want to find someone who views it the same way.

Date people from San Anselmo, United States. I am happy, healthy, independent and self-confident. I tend to look on the bright side of things. I believe there is no time like the present.
I love the outdoors. Between the Marin hills and the seashore, I'm usually outside doing something. I especially love to hike. Urban walks are fun too. There are some great stairway walks in the City.
I grew up in Idaho, moving to California after graduating from college. I lived in Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Oakland before moving to Marin 19 years ago. They were all great places to live.
I am passionate about my family, my friends and my work. I have two sons I adore (one in college and one in high school). Thanks to them, I've learned a lot about Fantasy Football, Mythbusters, water polo and lacrosse. I can't believe there is a game where it is OK to hit each other with sticks!
I love to laugh and prize a sense of humor. I don't need you to be a stand-up comedian, but if you see the funny side of life, we will get along great.
I'm hoping you are a kind, generous-hearted, fun and funny guy who appreciates affection. At this point, what I do isn't nearly as important as who I do it with (to a point.....I won't watch wrestling with you). I want someone to share the journey ...including misreading the map and taking detours. (Although I've been told I'm a good co-pilot)
A great date would be a beautiful walk/hike in the afternoon, getting to the perfect spot in time for the sunset, and then dinner in a funky hole-in-the wall that had great food and possibly bad decor. But the first date could be something less ambitious (a cup of coffee/glass of wine?).
Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a hard working. active woman and am very blessed in my life. I have been working as a clothing designer since I came out of College, doing what I love to do has been a great gift. Ihave two great teenage daughter who I am very grateful for. I'd love to share the outdoors and the city life with an interesting partner. I would like to share special times with someone I feel a real connection to. I believe we are all put here for each other and that is how we can grow as people when we are connected. I have a dry sense of humor i am told and am very passionate about my beliefs.

Meet someone special from San Anselmo, United States. I'm a warm hearted, down to earth, and fun loving woman with many different interests.
I love being outdoors as much as I enjoy jumping into San Francisco to try a new restaurant, hear music or see a show. I'm spontaneous and open to trying new things. I'm an East Coast transplant who appreciates the beauty and diversity of the Bay Area. On most weekend mornings, you would typically find me running, biking or hiking the trails of Marin.
I greatly value my family, my kids, my friends and my community. I'm a practical gal...life is short, I try not to sweat the small stuff!!
I'm looking for a like-minded guy who is willing to listen, has integrity, a big heart and who loves to laugh.
Sense of humor and active life style a must.
Date people from San Anselmo, United States. My passion at this point in my life is to be a compassionate presence in the lives of others. I am a professional artist as well as a grief counselor. I began my creative journey at 21 when I moved from a large city to an isolated coastal village, a place that encouraged me to turn inward and begin both a deeper dialogue with myself and a profound relationship with nature. These qualities have become an integral part of my life, paintings, and work with people. At that time, I also began practicing meditation, which continues to sustain me.
I have a Great love and respect of nature, quiet, solitude, high elevation mountains, oceans and rivers. I hike often and I'm a dancing fool. I have a deep appreciation for the beautiful cities of the world, Paris, London, Rome, and the small villages of Europe as well.
My ideal match would be someone who is intelligent both in mind and heart. Someone who is genuinely kind and compassionate. He would need to love and deeply respect the natural world. . Someone who is interested in being healthy but not fussy about it. (I love chocolate as much as I do chard.) Someone who is emotionally wise enough to know that healthy relationships embrace the difficult as well as the delightful.
Meet men and women from San Anselmo, United States. I'm an entrepreneur and artist combined. I'm practical and grounded, rare in an artist. I have an optimistic upbeat personality and love to laugh. I am looking for a man who is intelligent, articulate unpretentious, genuine with a great sense of humor. Communication is key to a good friendship. Friendship is what makes a relationship work. I'm hoping to find someone who I can have fun with whose friendship I can treasure.
I've spent a lot of my life developing my business which I really enjoy. Now is the time to expand my activities. I'd love to share some new ones. I'm always ready to check out new places and try new things. I have always been active in environmental issues and protection of wildlife. It's great fun to go somewhere and look for critters, they all interest me. For example around the water looking for damselflies, frogs etc. wading though lotus blossoms trying to get the perfect photo. My camera is with me most of the time documenting nature and tying to capture all the beautiful things around us.
I've been a seeker my entire life, always curious trying to make sense of things that often don't make sense. I always have new projects and new endeavors. I would like a partner who has the same curiosity about life, the universe, with whom I can share ideas and fun explorations.
My idea of camping is pitching a tent in the middle of some vast meeting hall ( like the Awanhee in Yosemite, The Hilton Hawaiian Village or the Pyramid at the Louvre ) with room service. But I am adventuresome and will "climb any mountain". I tend to be irreverent with a dry intellect based sense of humor. I take the high road in my relations with people. Would love to meet a man to share the many wonders of the world. I intend to do more traveling, love Paris would fly there in a heart beat. I also have Italy, Ireland and Japan on my agenda.
It seems that most of us are looking for similar things the trick is to find someone with whom we can truly connect. I hope we are all successful. With that being said I'm currently writing a screen play about online dating and relationships of people over 45. Whether you think we might be a match or not I'd love to get information about your experiences in online dating. So far I've come to the conclusion that most over 45's make" adjustment" on their age because of the general ageism bias. Unfortunately a lot of people put up photos that are years out of date in addition to misrepresentations of height and weight. This seems to occur almost equally between men and women. I want my screen play to show both the humorous aspects of dating situations as well as the positive bonding that we all hope will develop. I have had the good fortune to make wedding rings for couples who have met through online dating. Although marriage is not a goal for many of us over 45 it is fabulous to meet people who really do fall in love and want that type of commitment. In such a complicated world being able to communicate with and have fun with people who share similar interests and form a true connection is goal enough for most. I'd appreciate any interesting anecdotes you'd like to share.
Date a woman from United States. I Love Life.
My son is grown and happily married, and I love having a daughter-in-law. :)
I run my own small business working with dogs, exercising them daily, boarding them when their owners travel. I love being outdoors in nature, writing poetry and short prose, am working on a project with a friend teaching seniors to sing rock and roll, studying spiritual leaders of our time, Adyashanti, Mooji, Tolle, Katie.
I like chocolate, popcorn, little white twinkly lights, camping as much as traveling in style, big sky country, a million stars at night, cloth napkins at dinner, candlelight, the desert, Southwest, Mexico, Edward Abbey, the ocean, mountains, movies, good friends, good food, laughter, good conversation, connecting, the land, the garden, cooking, day trips, quiet time alone and with friends, growing old together with someone special, settling down.
I love family, children, yours, mine, pets, museums, art openings, satsang, photography, discovering new places to go, things to see, do, walking meditation, want to learn to west coast swing and maybe even line dancing, I like dressing up casual, have my own definite style, love blue jeans and skirts with blouses, like spending time together more than apart.
Meet people from United States. Ah, life is good! I feel very blessed with wonderful friends, great siblings, good health and a playground of mountains and water all around me. Still, it seems like it could be even "gooder" with someone special to share it with.
I hope that someone likes to travel. I've wandered through the Mid-East, backpacked in the Austrian Alps and visited Italy, France and The Netherlands. Still, I return home realizing just how much more there is to see!
I believe some of life's richest moments don't cost a thing: throwing a frisbee or football with someone in a beautiful setting on a beautiful afternoon; getting up at 2am to view an eclipse; hearing the sound of my nieces laughing.
I believe music can be unbelievably powerful. I enjoy the times I'm under its spell, as well as the times I'M casting the spell. I recently played keyboards in a band, and even though we're no longer playing, I had so much fun, I'm looking to create that again.
I look forward to meeting someone to have rich conversations with, but will also enjoy the times when we'll just be silent together, enjoying the moment. Someone I can be serious with, yet utterly silly. Someone who relishes being part of a couple, but also understands the need for space. I'm looking for a confidante, a lover and someone with whom to build memories.
