Date men and women from United States / California / San Mateo, 51 year old

Date people from United States. Let me take a guess, you are seeking a man who looks like Richard Gere, has the money of a Rockefeller, speaks with the poetic soul of Neruda, and radiates the wisdom of the Dalai Lama. Unfortunately, that singularly amazing guy is not on Match.com anymore.
I love the lakes and mountains, but like what a big city has to offer; art, theater, museums, restaurants and foreign films. I’m drawn to substance and intrigued by style. I'd rather talk about deeply personal values and thoughts than make bland small talk. I have an artistic, romantic side as well as a logical, scientific side (occupational hazard). A quiet Sunday morning spent with the New York Times and Kona coffee is sweet, but a quiet Sunday morning on the Kona coast is even better.
I love to travel the non-tourist route, but can easily accommodate a more luxury-level voyage. I have journeyed around the world and have lived for extended periods in three foreign countries, not to mention several U.S. cities.
In general, I'm warm, affectionate, thoughtful and intermittently funny. Cats and dogs are unusually happy to see me. I'm passionate about food, wine and cooking (yes, I can), so to know me is to always eat well.
Getting to know someone new is a lot like opening an intricately wrapped gift. I’d rather be surprised, delighted and amazed, than seek specific, unequivocal qualities. However, in the broadest terms, you’re an intriguing combination of intelligence, beauty, and grace with a ready smile; intelligent enough to challenge me with perspectives and insights that don’t have to match mine; attractive enough to fulfill someone’s definition of unconventional beauty; warm enough to offer temporary shelter from life’s occasional storms; and possess an innate elegance that are equal parts stirring, tranquility, and passion.
Please no winks or one-line letters. I place a high premium on meeting a woman who can clearly express herself by pen, on the phone and in person. If I haven't found you first, I truly do appreciate you being interested enough and brave enough to write. Remember, this short note will be my first impression of you. Dating for a LTR/husband like me is a brutally competitive winner-take-all sport!
UPDATE 1: Do you have all four limbs and breathe without mechanical aide? As of today, this overly restrictive criteria has been liberalized to include a wooden leg and bottled oxygen.

Meet single man from United States. I am a proud single father and a hard working person who is rarley in a bad mood. I have traveled to many places and have learned from other cultures. I enjoy my work, children,traveling, cooking dancing and music to start.

Date people from San Mateo, United States. I've recently returned home to California after more than 20 years in the Northwest and Midwest. Starting fresh so to speak but definitely not starting over! I've certainly learned a lot of things. I'm happy to be back in the Bay Area and just enjoy being here.
I'm attracted to people who are positive, inquisitive, intelligent, and open minded with a great sense of humor.
Who am I? I think I'm pretty comfortable with myself. I'm a full time dad and have a teenage daughter. Being a parent is certainly a growth experience and I know I don't have all the answers. I try to approach life non-judgementally. I've been told I'm a good listener.
I stay fit and I enjoy the outdoors - running, biking, hiking, long walks. I enjoy cooking at home as much as going out on the town. I'm not much of a TV person though I have taken a liking to Modern Family. I love movies, listening to music, museums, theater, and enjoying a nice restaurant - and traveling.
I'm someone who believes that so much of our day to day world depends on the quality of our personal interactions - with our kids, co-workers, loved ones - and all the people we come into contact with. Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet and see if there's a spark.

Meet men and women from San Mateo, United States. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have owned my own business since 1985. I have two great daughters who are now grown and out of the house. I enjoy playing an occasional round of golf on the weekends with my friends.
My work schedule is flexible and I tend to be spontaneous -- on any given day I may find myself taking a drive down the coast, tasting wine in Napa, checking out the farmers market at The Ferry Building or enjoying brunch in Sausalito. I love traveling, near and far... Some of my favorite destinations include Rome, Maui, Mexico, and more local favorites such as Carmel, Napa, Santa Barbara. Also enjoy a wide variety of music and live concerts. When you first meet me I may come off a bit shy but once the conversation gets rolling you'll find that I am a very sweet, upbeat, outgoing guy.
The type of woman I'm looking for is confident, outgoing, likes to laugh, self-supporting, energetic, spontaneous and has great style. I am done raising my own children, but have no problem being involved with someone that still has children at home. I genuinely enjoy kids and they can sense that as they seem to be drawn to me as well.
Oh yeah... I shave my head every couple of weeks, so if you're looking for someone with a thick head of hair, I may not be the guy for you.
I look forward to taking this journey toward finding someone special to share my life with... Maybe you?
Cheers!

Date someone special from San Mateo, United States. While I can be reserved, there is a goofy, spirited side of me as well. I have devoted the past 20 years to my kids, and now that my youngest is off to school I felt this was the perfect time to jumpstart the next chapter of my life. Physical activity of all types and being fit is important to me and enjoying and sharing those activities is equally as important . In my spare time I enjoy hiking, land and water activities, traveling, concerts,musicals, plays, and sporting event's. My ideal guy is intelligent, grounded, active, and all around fun to be with. A major turn off is "arrogance". Compassion, sincerity, and integrity are qualities that are extremely attractive in a man. I've been on "match" for about a month, and in this brief time, I have come across many dishonest people. ........ if this is you - please do not wink or email me.

Date people from California, United States. Ever the optimist, I always have confidence that everything will work out! IРІР‚в„ўm very active and independent, but I would love to share the simple pleasures of everyday life plus the occasional adventure. I can go it alone, but I would rather drive down the coast, watch a funny movie, or eat a special meal with you next to me.
I’ve been on many fun vacations, but I still have a ton of places that I would like to explore. Let’s put our lists together – the best trips are ahead of us!

IРІР‚в„ўm a calm, no-drama person but IРІР‚в„ўm passionate and I need that from you.
If you can open the champagne, change a tire (or call someone!), kill a spider, be a shoulder to cry on, say something funny, sympathize with a work problem, have a sexy mind, have an open mind, make the coffee, grill a steak, be cool, and be gracious, then you sound pretty wonderful to me!
