Date men and women from United States / California / San Francisco, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Exploration is part of my inner fabric and this road has been good for me- emotional openness, connectedness, authenticity, and many wonderful out of the box life experiences. Accomplished, passionate, manly, communicative, adventurous, playful, and funny, I have a successful high impact career that I love and has permitted me to make meaningful contributions to society. Since my formative years growing up in Manhattan (still with an East Coast edge, but perhaps a bit enlightened (LOL)), I am drawn to a wide range of experiences - be it talking to strangers, hopping on a bus in a foreign country without knowing where it is going for the experience, driving a taxi in NYC, trekking in the Himalayas, befriending a wide diverse group of people, spelunking in New Zealand, meditation retreats in India, learning about how to make different types of pottery, or personal development experiences. I feel very fortunate and have a lot of gratitude. Usually thought to be much younger than my age (looks and personality), I am 56 and I used a younger age so as to not be excluded from your consideration if you used a search engine with an age cut-off. Everything written here is accurate.

Traveling is a good metaphor for how I approach life- I travel with minimal itineraries, leaving myself open to the serendipity of discovery. Enjoying the feeling of being untethered, I have traveled extensively, especially in Asia. Favorites include Laos, Cambodia, India (spent 5 months there), Galapagos, and the Amazon. I was in Maui recently and I am hoping that one of you reading this can help me to understand why the highways in Hawaii are called "Interstates"? In seeking out new experiences, Esalen, Harbin Hot Springs, photography workshops, art lectures, and wine courses are a few of the things I enjoy. I grew up in Manhattan and love cultural experiences.
I’ve been living in SF for ~2 years and love hole-in-the-wall eateries as well as great restaurants across the ethnic spectrum, art galleries, museums, long walks, bike riding, hiking, live music (jazz, vocalists, classical, eclectic...), dance performances, ballet, symphony, movies, comedy clubs, sunsets, photography, the ocean.
So how about you? You want to meaningfully connect with strong chemistry in all the important facets- emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual; our interactions would naturally lead us to grow. You are smart, playful, explorative, like art, and have a well-used passport. You have connected with a passion in your life and are trying to live it. Qualities we share include FUN, vulnerability with each other, excellent communication, passion, joy, and laughter. I look forward to hearing from you.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Enjoy. The rest of our life together. Forever without. Any conditions. Travel to all a around the world. Until dying with good health and no pain. I will make you happy always. I try to strives to do my best.

Date men and women from California, United States. I am looking for a woman with a kind and open heart, and a sweet smile. When we connect it will be very special. We will genuinely care about what’s going on in each other’s lives, and we will have lots of fun together.
I am open, kind, complicated, fun to be with, and generous in the ways that I am able to be. My best feature is my hands, although I also judge myself to be a good listener and a caring, thoughtful man.
I have lived in San Francisco for thirty years, and I was raised in NYC. I am fortunate to have my daughter living in San Francisco, but most of my extended family is back east. I enjoy simple pleasures like walks in beautiful surroundings, exploring the neighborhoods of the city, a Giants game, taking the ferry to Sausalito, and many other things.
This summer I wanted your company at the Marin County Fair (it was great, saw the Chinese Acrobats, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band), Springsteen (my first show was in 1973), and Al Green (he was great, he's still got it, and it was gratifying for me to see women swoon over a man with a good size belly :-)). There's still time to enjoy the Sausalito Arts Festival together, and wherever else we can enjoy another gorgeous bay-area day.
I regularly participate in a men’s group as part of The Mankind Project, and I sometimes co-lead men’s groups. I know that I’ve grown a lot in the last five years. I want to keep evolving, and I want to do this within a passionate, fun, supportive relationship.
I appreciate openness and honesty about everything, including whether or not we are a good match. I look forward to talking with you.

Meet single man from California, United States. If you are reading this, then I guess you liked my photos. That's OK because don't we all look at the pictures first? About me...
I feel healthy, whole, and complete. Relatively sane. But there is plenty of room for learning something new and having new experiences.
I am intelligent, successful, well traveled, and funny (sometimes). I am told I am generous, talented, stylish, and good company.
I am able to put down the paper or the remote long enough to really listen to what you have to say. And I know how to treat a woman.
But I don't play tennis or golf. I don't shoot hoops or drink a six pack all by myself. I am not a rock or mountain climber. I don't salsa or tango. I can't play a musical instrument or sing. I speak only one language fluently. I have a Scuba Card and a Pilot's License but neither are current. Took some sailing lessons but get horribly seasick outside the bay.
While I do OK financially I am not a millionaire or CEO. I don't have a second home, a boat or my own plane. I don't own a Harley, a horse, a Porsche, or a Corvette.
Like most folks I like the outdoors, walking on the beach, museums, concerts, shopping and cooking together, sharing romantic sunsets, or snuggling on the couch watching a movie. And I look just as good in a pair of Levi's as I do in a tuxedo.
I have a full and busy life and great friends but it would be icing on the cake to find someone special with whom to share it all.
If you've read this far and see some of the tongue in cheek humor in the preceding paragraphs and then think about the absurdity of trying to "sell" one's self online on a dating site, we might just be a match.
Winks and favorites are nice, but e-mail is better. If my profile resonates with you, be bold and write to me. Also, unless you are a celebrity, politician or in the CIA, I will more likely respond to your e-mail if I can see your soul through your eyes. That means please have a photo attached to your profile.
I know you're out there somewhere....

Date a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. Stable, emotionally available, intelligent, articulate, and fun loving man (= “Me”) actively seeks the love of his life, queen of his dreams and goddess of his heart (= “You”). Life is far too short and precious to be without the one you love. Accomplishments are shallow if they cannot be shared with a caring partner.
A little about me (if you are interested)…I do Not smoke (anything), drink, or take drugs--Never have, so I am not a recovering anything. No children. No pets currently but I have extensive experience working with and training a vast array of animal species. I love my life and my work. The only thing missing is You...the true love of my life. I have evolved and matured (well, as much as a man can mature) over time in order to be an ideal partner to a very special someone. Daily laughter is my approach to dealing with the ups and downs of life. I don't take myself too seriously and certainly don't sweat the small stuff which is most everything. My passions are too numerous to list. Learning to love and loving to learn. I'm very well adjusted, confident, competent, at peace with myself and with the world. A wonderful place to be at this stage of life. Maslow was correct. My life is beyond incredible except for one major missing link. Yes, that would be you. It has been said that some relationships are for a season, some for a reason and some for a lifetime. I seek the later. Oh, by the way, I can and do make the bed. Neat and organized.
Time is life and life is love. Too short to be wasted. I can promise you I will see you, hear you, appreciate you and adore you. No games, drama or trauma. Friendship and reverence for the long haul. I am dependable, responsible and accountable. I can and do communicate well. Diplomatic honesty.
I am new to this forum, so please be gentle. Oh, alright, you can have your way with me if you wish. One of the businesses I own/operate is in the personal protection/security field. My work in this arena can be a bit risky at times so I try to minimize exposure to risk. I do not post photos on the Internet or send them to people I do not know. I hope you understand. If so, I look forward to getting to know you. If not, no problem, best of luck in your search for your ideal mate.
A little more about me. I love music—Pink Floyd, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossom, Libera. Sports—playing and watching. Great films and videos. Drumming. Flying. Being outdoors. Being indoors. Reading, studying and learning. Beaches, forests, zoos, museums,… Things I have done—trained lions, tigers. bears, and much more, oh my. Bicycled the US. Marathons and triathlons. Visited Africa and Australia. Scuba diving and skydiving. Cooked my own toast by myself. OK, I did have some help. Enough about me. I want to know about you.
If you know how to love and how to be loved and appreciated for who you truly are, just as you are, I am ready to meet you.

Meet someone special from San Francisco, United States. My academic degrees are in the arts and my first professional decade was as a curator in the museum world. High tech played a growing role in that arena, thus after a good run, a very compelling transition to Silicon Valley - I have known remarkable technology for decades. Now I find myself bootstrapping as a small eco-entrepreneur, nurturing and working a remarkable connection to nature. The result produces deliciously stellar rewards. I am an urban farmer, of sorts. A citywide rancher, actually. A co-creator of healthful, natural elixirs.
In the human realm, I enjoy a vital partnership; am very good at being my own individual, and at the same time, a significant contributor as someone's co-conspirator. Particularly enjoy a vital, essential, connected relationship, or more, the thinking person's vital, essential, connected relationship. Relationship these days can take on many interpretations, but more than anything, wisdom allows two people to be profound for each other, a safe haven for connecting with another. That's what I've been looking for: simple sophisticated pleasures, deep trusted communication, wholesome honest sharing.
I pursue paths of interest which allow me to be highly capable, but I can't help being an uncommon man. For people needing square pegs in square holes, generally I'm other than that. A thoughtful and considered perspective would provide more meaningful insight. Not for the person with the traditional punch list. But a fully unique man; yes, indeed.

Date men and women from San Francisco, United States. I’ve been called a “serial innovator.” Maybe you’ll think of another nickname for me if we have the opportunity to get to know each other. My mission in life has been to manifest creativity and beauty in ways that make a difference. Over the years, I’ve expressed my energies in music, business, films, and in working with many different kinds of people and organizations. I think of myself as emotionally intelligent and able to bring a great deal to the right relationship. I am steadfast and good natured, and can bring a fresh perspective to almost any situation. And my work reflects a history of helping others - in short, if our stars align, I will nurture, inspire and care for you. Perhaps I will be able to help you to find the answers. And meanwhile, I will certainly do my best to make you laugh.
I'm looking for someone with a good heart and...range. What do I mean by this? Someone who appreciates both silence and the music of conversation. Someone who is open to possibilities and to trying new things. Someone who knows that being sexy is as much about the mind as the body. Someone who knows something of the world, who has empathy for creative work and has their own passions. Someone who knows what it is to love and to care for a cherished other. Someone who takes joy in living and deeply appreciates the poignant reality of how brief our time here is. Could you be her?

Meet single man from San Francisco, United States. I am going to probably get off this. I don't know. Never thought I was old fashioned, I am out for meeting a person who is looking for a real person who wants to have fun and maybe a relationship. So this is what I want to do: If you are interested in how I look then let's meet. When we do, take a GOOD look. You think you might want to make love to me? Then let's talk more and see if we match up. If you don't think you would , then let's just let each other know right away, no BS, because let's face it, if you aren't immediately attracted to my looks (and I yours) it just AIN'T gonna happen. I am a damn nice guy, I love life. I am a male, so yes, I think about sex just like all of us do. I also cook, love to hike, love to do almost everything, and my friends really do think I am a catch. But they are taken, dammit!
Let's get together and have a cup of coffee at the local Philz and chat or meet for lunch at a food cart at the Ferry Plaza and sit and watch the people and SF Bay and get to know each other and see where it goes! BUT INITIAL HONESTY A MUST.

Date people from San Francisco, United States. About my life and what I'm looking for Ok.So Who am I? I love my two children,food,movies with that someone special,been with my partner or maybe cuddling with each other,sex,romantic moments and travel...pretty much in that order.I work hard and am very good at, and passionate about, what I do.I have lived and worked in many places in the U.S. I'm rather easy-going, but also quite driven. And just in case we only live once, I figured I better make it worthwhile.I don't plan things in too much detail outside my job. Yes, there is a general direction, and I do have some goals. But I often think about what to do on a Saturday on that Saturday. It's not out of laziness or lack of interest, but rather because I like to do what comes to mind at that moment -- I think it's called spontaneity. Seriously, though, I am easy to be talked to.Often, I like to just "be"...watch a DVD, have a great dinner, a long conversation, even if it's just Thursday. And why can't a Tuesday morning be as special as a Sunday morning.. But that's ok. I try to take life as it comes: weekdays or weekends, doesn't matter.By the way,who says you can't have a glass of great red wine with that Chinese take-out? And yes,I sometimes like to color outside the lines. The point is that I plan things that must be planned, but I try to leave room for surprises, great opportunities, and just plain crazy ideas for the rest of the time. Again,just in case we only live once, I want to make it worthwhile.So, who are you? This will sound cheesy, but I'm looking for somebody to walk hand-in-hand with through life -- a life-partner in the truest sense of the word; somebody who will be there through both ups and downs. If we're going to do this, then we're going to do it together, side-by-side. This idea of a true partnership is very important me. It doesn’t mean that we have to agree on everything, and chances are we won’t. But there has to be a spirit of cooperation and willingness to compromise from both sides in order to reach common goals and heights.There is just so much to see and experience in this world, and I for one feel that every meal and every sight and every moment is just so much more enjoyable if you can share it with somebody special,splendid,unique,perfect.cute and above all lovely just like you with a good sense of humor.Am I a hopeless romantic? Probably, but I don't care. That's how I am. And it does not mean that I'm either gullible or naive -- I know what I want. I have lived long enough and experienced a lot and I have learned that are only a few things that really matter in life.

Meet a man from San Francisco, United States. About me?
Well, I like salty, black licorice. They make it in Latvia.
My friends would say I’m funny, wry, sensitive, kind and witty.
Mike Tyson once called me a "Nazi". (Long story. But funny.)
I'm a writer/director in the worlds of advertising and entertainment -- fun and lighthearted but serious and spiritual as well. (Wait, that describes me, not advertising.)
I find myself in the outdoors (figuratively speaking, not right this moment) – backpacking, mulepacking, fly fishing and napping on big, flat rocks. And I aggressively play soccer twice a week. Necessarily, yoga plays a big part of my life. Mostly for recuperation.
I’ve been to some really crazy places on this earth -- Cuba, Romania, the Himalaya, Siegfried & Roy’s home. But I'd go back to Western Scotland, Paris, Venice, Ireland and especially Greece in a heartbeat.
I’m as comfortable in the mountains as I am in boardrooms as I am on remote Mexican beaches. Oh, and hanging out with my awesomely sweet and smart (and sometimes surly) 13-year old son.
I take my spiritual life seriously and intentionally. I take my professional life playfully and absurdly.
I admit to getting teary-eyed watching movies about underdogs.
I love naps so much I categorize them.
I always question whether or not I’m using the word “ironic” correctly.
If you need references, well, you don’t get any.
