if you are still reading to this point, you are one of the kindest people on the planet. congratulations! obviously, i'm not good at describing myself. i'm from tokyo, a naturalized u.s. citizen since October 2003 (legally, no longer an alien?). i'm hopelessly shy and silly. i'm honest and reliable. i'm a geek, quiet, and somewhat awkward. i recycle. i donate my blood every eight weeks. i like cats (dogs, too). i like to cook. i like to make fresh pasta and sushi. i read science and sci-fi books. i watch food network, discovery channel, and netflix Blu-ray disc (or DVD) movies. NPR (Wait Wait, Car Talk, and of course, Science Friday). i'm curious almost about everything.
i like to play guitar, tennis, scrabble, ride my road bike. i like taking pictures (photography). i like a day trip to yosemite, beach, or anywhere. i can't (and don't) dance. i finished my first marathon, California International Marathon, in December 2009. i was just curious if i could actually finish a marathon. i found out i could but it took five and a half hours and i even had a calf muscle cramp for the first time around 22-mile mark! i used to my road bike a few times a week on American River Bike Trail (i guess i became too lazy to run). now i'm trying to find some nice bike trails here in the bay area (so far, San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail, Foothill, and Portola Valley are my favorites).

Meet someone special from United States. Hi there! What I’m looking for…
I would enjoy having someone to join me for a meal, dancing, a movie, a show, or simply a hike/walk. When there is good chemistry, I would enjoy just spending time together.
I consider myself a caring and understanding person. I watch my diet and I exercise on a regular basis. I have a sense of humor which comes out when I relax, and I hope you enjoy it. I also consider myself a very good listener.
I am currently working long hours, but that should change within the year. Match.com is helpful to meet, but I look forward meeting in person. To me, you can't judge someone by all this online info...meeting for coffee would be a great way to start.
I would enjoy just dating and making friends at first. I want to avoid any relationship pressure and get to know each other over time.
I’m not going to pretend I’m perfect, and I don't expect you to be perfect, either. I look forward to meeting the right woman, where we can appreciate each other the way were are.
P.S. - Please share at least one photo in your profile. I prioritize responding to people who share a photo. Thanks!

Moved to the bay area from San Diego a few months back for my new job and am getting to know the lay of the land here. This is such a nice place, like San Diego, though a bit different, since the ocean is far away from where I am :-). Professionally I am an engineer.
I enjoy the outdoors... try to go biking in the evenings. I enjoy watching movies (romance/comedy/drama/action), the theater, listening to music, channels in the bay area that I listen to are 96.5, 97.3, and sports. I like pets, though don't have one :-). Enjoy traveling and would like to travel to other parts of the world with someone special. Think global warming is for real, care for the environment, like going green and organic.

Meet single man from United States. About me
I was raised in a big family i have 5 sisters and 1 brother. My Mom raised us herself and that's why i love and respect my Mom so much. I have always loved exercise and fitness and did my 1st bodybuilding competition when I was 15 yrs old and at 25 won the Mr. America title , Life was going well then a big challenge in life came my way.
Life's Challenge
In 1997 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and in 2000 and I had to use a wheelchair. That made me depressed because one day I am Mr. America bodybuilding champion and then the next day I was in a wheelchair.
I remember saying to myself "Why me, why did i have to get MS?" in 2001 I got an answer to that question because I opened a wheelchair accessible gym called Accessible Fitness that specializes in fitness for people with physical challenges.
Because I began exercising again I do not have to use a wheelchair anymore and in 2006 my son talked me into competing in a bodybuilding competition again so I did it and walked on stage with my cane and to represent all of the people living with a physical challenge to show them that if they believe they can achieve their goals or as I tell the people at my gym :"If you Believe you can Move Mountains"
Things I enjoy
I enjoy Art and I like to visit all types of museums. sometime I like to stay home and watch a good movie.
I love to work hard but I also love to play! and I love being a father. I enjoy entertaining with family, friends, and children.
I am confident in my work as a gym owner and personal trainer and my ability to help people to achieve their goals.
Who i am looking for
Integrity, Honesty, Compassion, Commitment are qualities I respect. I am looking for someone that understands that everything we do in life is a choice. I love a warm and welcoming environment and I always treat people that way. I want to meet someone that wants to be my life partner that I can share my dreams and thoughts with.

Meet someone special from Santa Clara, United States.

I'm comfortable in jeans and a tee or stilettos and a silk dress. I'm Sicilian-American and take pride in my heritage. I love my son; he's a cool, mellow 19 year old college student. I'm blessed to be his mom.
My work in corporate America keeps me busy but I don't take it home with me.

FYI... I don't respond to winks.

Date people from California, United States. I am a bit of a guys gal. I am the one girl drinking beers in the garage watching football with the guys and yelling at the TV, not one of the girls in the kitchen watching Rachel Ray. I love to go to sporting events, concerts, comedy clubs and car shows and I love to play with power tools, one of my favorite Christmas gifts, an electric nail gun!
My passion is traveling and my goal is to see all the countries that my family is from.
What I am looking for in a relationship is a person with a sense of humor, number one priority, must be able to laugh at themself and not take life too seriously, we only have one so make it fun! Someone who enjoys sports but is not overly competitive, sore losers are a deal-breaker! I would like to find someone who is passionate and adventurous about life but enjoys even the little things like trying a new restaurant.
The accomplishment I am most proud of is raising two wonderful children with big aspirations! I hope they are very successful so they can put me in a nice old folks home! My hero is Betty White and my hope is to live to be a ripe old age like her, and I think the secret is in the saying, Laughter is the best medicine!
