Date someone special from Tiburon, United States. What sets me apart (in a nutshell): Dedication to life-long growth and a witty sense of humor that is never ill-natured, an overload of intellectual curiosity, unfailing optimism despite being old enough to know better. I find that a sense of humor is essential to a healthy life. I think I have a geeky edge -- hopefully in a sexy way? And although I do own several pairs of strappy high heels, I haven't given up my Chucks quite yet :)
When I am not working at a job in San Francisco that I enjoy, I enjoy gardening, listening/dancing to most live music, playing games (crosswords, cards, board games), learning about and traveling to new cultures and baking/cooking. Good old-fashioned home cooking.
I have had several interesting careers for mission-driven organizations, hold two advanced degrees and have spent months on end backpacking through enchanted and dangerous lands. Laos and Nepal top the list! On the local front, I'd love to revisit Tassajara, Orr Hot Springs, Esalen and ski slopes in Tahoe. I am ready for the next chapter in the book of life.
Who I'd like to meet: You're are a friendly, evolved soul who is very comfortable with all aspects of your personality (including your "shadow side") and are secure enough to communicate with honesty. You probably have boyish good looks and find that giving and receiving physical touch comes naturally. Green means something to you other than a color. You want to build your next relationship into the partnership of your lifetime through the role of best friend, playmate, husband and insatiable lover. People who do not enjoy televised pro sports, second-hand smoke or industrialized food (factory farm meat, etc.) don't irk you. Living on a dramatic cliff next to the ocean, in a cute Craftsman surrounded by cool neighbors or on a hobby farm somewhere rural captures your imagination. You have the tenacity, patience, wisdom and humor to stay connected in an intimate relationship through a bad conversation or bad day, knowing that it's the journey that's important.
Meet a woman from Tiburon, United States. The first kiss, the unexpected, adventure & creativity . . . things I love. I'm happiest being in the sun and by the water enjoying it with friends & loved ones OR experiencing foreign lands, culture, people and the beauty of the moment. I enjoy being outdoors for exercise and adventure. I am a romantic and realistic if that's possible. I have a passion for life and want someone to share the adventure. My ideal match is very confident (sometimes overly so,) has a good sense of humour, is well traveled and well educated, can laugh at the toughest of times and is honest. Above all, values family and friends as much as I do and doesn't take life too seriously.
Date a soulmate from Tiburon, United States. I am a happy fun loving person with a bundle of energy who enjoys life whatever the situation or circumstance. I came to the US 9 years ago from England and had many great experiences since getting here ! I am very grateful for the positive upbringing I had which has kept me grounded and stable throughout life's ups and downs. I am blessed with many wonderful friends and family, - most of my family still lives in UK and regularly come to visit. I also have good friends here in Bay Area and throughout the world as I am well traveled and broad minded. My friends describe me as caring, fun, funny (good sense of humor), someone who is kind, good hearted and can be relied upon. I know how to make things happen and will always fight for what I believe in.
I enjoy hiking and cycling, having impromptu BBQ's in my back garden, seeing new places, traveling around the country or world and am equally happy at home relaxing on the sofa with good company, good food and wine. I enjoy reading all sorts of books and also like watching a good movie (last one Iron Lady) and staying connected to what's happening in the world. I like to dance salsa although out of practice but I love the music and movement. I try to do yoga a few times a week to keep me fit and relaxed and to maintain a sense of balance and calm.
I am now ready to move to the next stage of life and meet that special someone who can compliment the life I have, have fun dinners out, take long walks to the beach etc I am looking for someone stable and supportive and I in turn can offer that person the sort of love and support that only a partner can bring. I am only interested in a true partnership in every sense of the word, where each person has a full life and wants someone to compliment it and share it. My ideal partner would be honest and committed, stable and fun, supportive and kind, caring and have a great sense of humor - let me know if that's you!
Meet someone special from United States. Spontaneity leads to adventure or misadventure, either way it is a good story later.
Fashion makes me happy. Pairing outfits and using clothes as a form of expression excites me. Give me a reason to dress up or dress down, it may seem shallow, but I live for it.
I was nicknamed Brainiac Barbie in postgraduate school; this is not how I view myself. I agree most with a sign I saw posted on a UCD laboratory door, it said: "Intelligence is the progression from cocksure ignorance to thoughtful uncertainty". (author unknown). I don't know everything, not even close. I find myself gratefully baffled by the immense potential this life has to offer. I do not want to take it for granted. It is my intention to work hard and play harder.
Date a woman from United States. Hi! To best describe me would be to say that I am genuine and happy. Prefer to be an optimistic when I have the choice, and stride to keep my regrets to a minimum. I enjoy my independence, but would enjoy less of it at times. Close to my heart is family and friends, and of course, the four legged furry ones too. The balance of a gym workout, hikes with the dogs, as well as a jaunt on my horse keep me healthy and sane. I guess you would say I'm active, athletic, and adventurous (the other AAA). That being said I do love spending time at home doing most anything. My youngest of two boys is off to college, so it couldn't be a better time to meet my match.

If you haven't posted photos, don't contact me. Physical appearance and sexual attraction are very important to me. I take very good care of myself, excercise often, eat healthy and meditate regularly. I expect the same of my partner.
I have no reason to settle for anything less. I am a successful business woman, happy and whole and not looking for anyone to complete me. So if this description fits you, catch me if you can . . . .
This wild filly would love to run with this rare stallion.
Are you out there?
Date a soulmate from Tiburon, United States. I'm currently Bi-Coastal and think about which coast I should really live on. I'm here in CA looking for some good reasons to plant a flag out here. I lived here years ago, loved it, moved back east reluctantly and am now testing the waters out here by splitting my time between Marin and the east coast. Marin is winning!
Meet a woman from Tiburon, United States. I'm looking for some one to first build a friendship with - then see what develops. I am a young 58 year old, 5'7", slender, blonde. Enjoy dining, bicycling, movies, weekend trips, meeting new people. Music lover - esp. classic rock, blues, jazz, and classical. Interested in a healthy lifestyle, longevity/life extension. I'm from the Midwest and will never take the ocean for granted. I live in Northern California after 16 years in the LA area, and now consider it "home." My match loves to play as much as he loves his work. Is concerned about his health and exercises but is not a fanatic. Must enjoy being on or around the ocean. Prefers warm weather activities. Isn't this why we live in CA? Open to new ideas and experiences! Respectful in all situations. Hopefully he is (or tries to be) a good communicator.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. I enrich my life with family and friends, laugh easily and often and have a non-sensical side. I am an excitable person, have a sense of wonder and am fairly easy to delight. I am touched by SMILES, rich conversations and music, lullabies, the discovery of unfamiliar places, new adventures and fresh perspectives. I'd like to meet someone that complements my personality; someone with a creative, open mind, intelligence, kindness, humor and a positive approach to life. I am looking to share my wonderful life with a genuine, respectful person. Intellectual and physical chemistry are equally important to me-in addition to a core value fit. I love the outdoors-open sky, landscapes, architecture, the pulse and cultural aspects of the city, the misty air and smells of the ocean, road trips, travel. I love to bicycle, hike, snowshoe, cross country, walk and canoe. I love the indoors-gathering with friends, sharing giggles, exchanging stories, dancing, galleries, movies, engaging speakers, theater, concerts, comedy shows, reading, yoga and exercise on a regular basis. I am committed to living a healthy and nutritious lifestyle.
I am so lucky to have been involved with extraordinary people! I consider each one to be a precious gift! I continue to develop a sense of what is possible in a loving and joy filled relationship. I invite you to join me in a walk, a talk, a glass of wine or tea and cookies.
. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons because warm weather, light clothing and outdoor activities are a great combination. I enjoy riding my bike, working in the yard, hiking, aerobic walks, road trips, picnics, traveling, concerts, swimming and sailing. I race a Lido with unflagging zeal but never win.
More important than the activity is the company. No matter what IРІР‚в„ўm doing, if IРІР‚в„ўm doing it with someone I like, even the ordinary is extraordinary.
I donРІР‚в„ўt have fairy tale wishes or unrealistic expectations. IРІР‚в„ўll make you comfortable with kindness, a smile and a good sense of humor, despite that awful deer-in-the-headlights photo you've been looking at!
Post Script added 5/20/12. I just signed onto Match a few days ago and " you guys" are clamoring for body shots. I will yield quietly and without protest because you are leaping en mass to the conclusion that If body shots are not offered, there's a bad looking body beneath the face. You can breathe a sign of relief. My 106 lb. body is petite, slender, tiny-waisted and well-proportioned, but don't lean back in your seat yet.
From the head-shot shown, you can reasonably conclude that I freeze at the sight of a camera. Despite the discomfort,(sheer terrior is more like it) more pictures will appear soon. Come back and see, if you dare.
I look forward to meeting you and hope that I shall.

. My friends would best describe me as open, honest, sympathetic, witty, fun and the life of the party. I have that approachable quality where people think I'm someone they know. I am a fiercely loyal friend and good listener.
I enjoy every day living in beautiful Marin County. Relocated here from the cold Midwest where I lived for 30 years. I love the outdoors and exploring new places....gazing at the Bay, Mt. Tam and SF. I am equally happy sitting by a fire and enjoying conversation with that someone special and cooking a great meal together.
My family also brings me great joy... 3 grown children...plus 4 granddaughters.
I like meeting new people since everyone brings something special and new into your life.
As for that special man I would like to meet....an honest, loving, kind and passionate person who loves to laugh, explore and love all that life brings....even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
