Meet single man from Oakland, United States. Please no winks")
Here's a little about me...
I do read your profile.
Looking for a partner in crime,we can start with misdemeanors and work our way up from there.
My sense of humor can be a bit dry and sarcastic, and at times I think I'm the funniest man in the world....and sometimes I am:)
Took first at state in kissing.
Can dance in two languages.
I watch antiques road show and I don't care who knows that.
Never lie to you.
If I could ski everyday of my life I probably would...but you don't have to ski for me to like you.
Probably a little too loyal for my own good,but if I know you I will always have your back.
Monogamist cause I have no desire to stray, I mean why be with someone if you want to spend time with others?
If you laugh at my jokes I will love you for it
Love to cook for you if you like.
Give the finest foot rubs in town.
A bit of a lover as well and would appreciate the same in a partner.
Love me some critters as well, some day I hope to devote more of my life to helping them in some capacity so if you don't like animals then I am probably not for you, as I have a large dog who has never met a mud puddle she didn't like, and a kitty or two,and a goldfish, basically a mini petting Zoo at my place.
I have a great smile and a silly sense of humor so if you find any of these qualities attractive feel free to drop me a line on here.

Date men and women from Oakland, United States. I'm a magnet for the unique experiences. I never run out of stories you would swear weren't true if I couldn't actually back them up. Although some of my experiences have been somewhat traumatic but I'm fortunate to have recovered enough to look back thankful and somtimes with humor to have survived. I am whimsical and artsy by nature with a quirky sense of humor. I hear music if life's ordinary rhythms, the tap of the rain, the pace of the copy machine, even the cadence of a friend's speaking voice. I have that color memory thing where I can match shades by memory. What do I like in a man? Hmmm, class, tact, humor, and creativity for starters. I prefer bold personalities in contrast to my somewhat quiet nature. I like someone who doesn't mind voicing his opinions even when it's different than my own. I'm pretty easy going and laid back. There isn't much that gets to me so don't be afraid to check me out. I guess you could call me real.

Meet someone special from Oakland, United States. I live life with energy and enthusiasm. I enjoy being with other people- I am very outgoing, I have never been told I am shy. I am comfortable being by myself and cherish my alone time. I am content to go to a movie, shopping or a long bike ride by myself. I am just as comfortable attending a social gathering where I know everyone or very few people.
I love to laugh, and if our sense of humor connects, we’ll do a lot of that. I appreciate someone who can find the glass half full with a robust sense of humor- I bring the same. I work hard to keep a balanced life, but I do have regular business travel which keeps me challenged to keep the work life balance “pie” intact. I strive to challenge myself physically, intellectually, spiritually and professionally.
I am hoping to connect with an honest guy who is active, confident, accomplished, would love to share the fun life has to offer with me.

Date a woman from Oakland, United States. Part I Introduction
I see myself as a half-formed sculpture that I'm continually molding with my own clay fingers. As imperfectly as I'm doing it, my core value is to live life in complete honesty, both emotionally and intellectually.
I crave beauty, nature and word play. I crave slow kisses, wild dancing and pie. I crave the centrifugal force that throws us against each other... and there we are, finally. Hello!
Part II What IРІР‚в„ўm doing with my life
I've spent the last few years focused on my son and building my second career. I really love men and I'd love to find a long-term partner who is sexy, strong, kind, funny, manly, emotionally intelligent and super smart.
Professionally, I conduct research about people, technology, brands and culture, then design communication strategies based on research insights. It's sort of an anthropological-strategic niche within marketing. I love how my job pushes me to grow every day -- I'm exploding as both a creative and a strategic thinker, which I consider a real gift this far into my work life.
I had a successful first career in journalism in the U.S. and abroad. (It's tempting to start name-dropping here, but I'll refrain. Just know that I can, if pressed.) While journalism is a more noble profession than marketing, and was hard to give up for that reason, what I do now is more fulfilling. Go figure.
I have a lovely circle of close friends. I tend to gravitate toward international people, either folks from other countries or Americans who, like me, have spent time living abroad.
The most important part of my life is being Mom to someone I call the Kid With the Big Head Who Follows Me Around Everywhere. He's actually a soon-to-be second grader whose major interests include Bok Choy boys, newts and a certain body part that rhymes with "wiener."
We live in a big, beautiful house in Rockridge. We go for long hikes, catch the kid flicks and make pancakes for brekkie. We host mad, Pinot Noir-laced dinner parties.
We love our little family so much that we would like to add at least one new member.
Part III Culture
On Pandora, I listen to the Verve, REM and Josquin Desprez stations. Fave singers include The Shins, Lucinda Williams, Paul Simon, Moby, Gillian Welch, Radiohead, Nirvana, Heinrich Schuetz.
I like books about culture and human behavior; recently finished Herd by Mark Earls and Farm City by Novella Carpenter. Poetry-wise, I worship at the bony feet of Billy Collins.
I love pretty much all well-written, well-acted movies and am impressed that there are so many. Springing to mind: The Kids are Alright, Garden State, Benjamin Button, The Help, Being John Malkovich, King's Speech.
I love dining out and have a Mediterranean-Californian diet. A perfect meal might be grilled salmon, cannellini beans, sauteed chard, dark chocolate and Blanc de Noir. I love to cook and adore doing the kitchen dance with my partner.
TV faves: Mad Men, 30 Rock, Modern Family
Periodicals: Dwell, Fast Company, NYT, WSJ
Sculptors: Isamo Noguchi, Andy Goldsworthy
And of course, Ted Talks.
Part IV What IРІР‚в„ўm looking for
"Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."
This Rumi quote sums up my approach to relationship pretty well.
I believe if two people are able to communicate deeply, from a place of non-judgment and non-blame, they can almost always find empathy for each other. Even if they disagree, it's possible to come to a deep understanding of each other that builds respect and connection over time.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a partner who is committed to actively nurturing a relationship. To create an emotionally transparent relationship, a compatible fellow would need to know his emotional landscape and be committed to compassionately and non-judgmentally working through the issues -- his, hers and ours.

Date a soulmate from United States. It's a New Year and I'm definitely up for new challenges and adventures with someone that can hang!
My friends say I'm the diplomat of the group, but I've been known to get into a heated, passionate discussion with someone who's willing to engage in a good discussion..... I am a good listerner, but I'm turned on by a good debate! I'm inclusive, open-minded and adventurous; flexible and willing to compromise (I do have a few absolutes), but I'm looking for someone that can bring something to the table and shake things up every now and again! I love to travel, so exploring a new place with someone would be great!
I'm interested in a confident, intelligent, Man that is fun to be around.
Someone who takes an interest in the woman he's with; her likes and dislikes.
YouРІР‚в„ўre a good listener and inquisitive. YouРІР‚в„ўre not pushy, but can challenge with appeal. You like to have fun without fast-forwarding getting to know each other.
You know how to create excitement and have a good sense of humor. You are financially independent (because I am), physically fit and a Gentleman.
And to answer your burning question, YES my photos are recent. I am assertive in business, but more of a traditionalist in
the dating arena, so feel free to initiate the conversation with an email. But let's be fair, I'm not going to respond if you don't have a photo posted or if you are listed as 'currently separated'
I'm looking to start out with meeting for coffee or a glass of wine to see where things go....let's face it, it all boils down to chemistry!
I also travel to NYC at least 4 or 5 times a year, so I'm open to meeting an intriguing New Yorker if you're out there?

Date someone special from United States. Life is ALL that! And because it is I enjoy it with vigor. I work in a field that can be emotionally demanding-but is a constant reminder to keep things in its proper perspective-therefore I smile and laugh often, play hard, and let those I love know it. There are so many places I'd like to travel to-with a appreciation for diversity, I want to experience as many cultures, food and music as I can fit into this life time.

Meet a woman from United States. I'm not really a card-slinging, Harley-polishing, cigar-puffing aikido champion (unless you want me to be!).....this is just my temporary avatar for your amusement. I may be back undisguised and unembellished soon.
But I do indeed love my kitchen and truly would love to find an adventurous friend to cook for......a man with equal curiosity about the contents of my spice cabinet and my similarly overflowing bookshelf!
If you're brave enough to let me concoct something for you, I can assure you that my poisons are non-lethal and well diluted. :)
I look forward to seeing Julianne Moore portray Sarah Palin, do you? Ed Harris will inhabit John McCain better than he did Beethoven, for sure. And speaking of the great man, I love the late Beethoven string quartets. I am a musician so my sonic interests are wide and deep.
But I do love Tahoe, Hawaii, sunsets, ice cream, Gigondas and flipflops too so please don't be scared off by my eccentricities! I just feel that it's better to put the purple toes forward first.
(I haven't officially signed up here so I can't read or respond to emails yet.................)
