He goes willingly, bravely, but with trepidation as the elves spin a web of moon beams about him. Deep in the forest he encounters the Wood Nymph. He is enchanted by her beauty & she steels his heart. But the elves have played a trick on Bj?rn. She belongs to the forest & cannot leave & the Wood Nymph, once she steels your heart, she does not give it back. Bj?rn longs for the Wood Nymph, cannot love a wife & as the years look in through the door he lives out his days in loneliness. A sad, simple, mythical story, real life is a bit mor complicated, life moves on & we learn & grow with our losses. But I love this orchestrated piece.
I'm a design professional & fine art photographer, my work is in galleries, exhibits & collections. Photography is the great passion in my life, but I am interested in other visual arts & anything that moves or involves making or fixing things. Landscaping my front yard & remodeling my bathroom have been recent projects. Writing is my new passion. My first book is almost done & I have a prestigious publisher. A second is under contract.
I'm a creative, visual person, in touch with the world around him. I work out regularly, not because I enjoy it, it’s something of a chore, but because it keeps me feeling young & vital.
With the right person, I can be spontaneous, funny, witty, full of interesting stories, it just depends. I can be laid-back or outspoken, talkative or quiet, depending on who I'm around & how they inspire me, but on my own I tend to be serious & intense as I'm passionate about the things I do.
I have been told by people with an appreciation for such things, that I am someone who knows who he is, that I am a solid guy, a quality that I am getting to appreciate in others. Recently, I was told that I am stable, sensitive & observant & a couple of recent dates told me that my eyes are very expressive. I've been described as being someone who knows everything, but I know that isn’t true, I'm still learning.
I have a spiritual side, always pursuing learning & personal growth. I’m an ESTJ, but have learned to live as an extraverted intuitive, becoming more outgoing & social & with that life is lived more fully. Still, my intellect is my real strength.
I’m looking for the complete package. Someone I can talk to as well as ... someone that I would want to watch walking around the house, or gaze at across the breakfast table. What I want is someone I can share my pleasures & passions with, someone whom I can be passionate about. Someone who inspires me to pay them complements, who inspires me to be affectionate. Is that you?
I am looking for that special person, one who has something fresh & original to say, is full of surprises, who can expand my life & I hers. For that, my partner needs to be someone who has a brain, is educated, intelligent, can hold a conversation, has culture & class, but is also well grounded & down to earth. Having a creative side would be a real plus. A women who knows how to laugh & smile. Wit, charm & wisdom are much appreciated. Extra points if you like to drive a car with a stick shift, I know we’ll have a lot in common.
I’m down to earth & like that in a women. Over breakfast, I'd love to discuss art, history, politics, psychology, whatever we have in common.
I am tall, of Scandianian extraction. I’ve been told that I look much younger than my 63 years, that I don't have that slow heavy look common with guys my age. Up close & personal, women tell me I'm a lot sexier than they expected. I’m very physically affectionate, can kiss & make out for hours.
If you like stimulating conversation, playful glances, long wet passionate kisses ... If you have most or all of the above qualities, you will find in me someone who, by turns, is seriously loyal, who wants to learn from you, appreciate who you are, back you up & make you laugh.

Meet a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I'm well-read, educated, employed, happy, sane, romantic, affectionate, outgoing. I like lying on the beach, watching the sun go down, playing with my kids, playing boardgames, card games. I have written several things, but have not sold a major work. . I live in a great apartment near Lake Merritt. I'm not in any hurry. I've been single for 8 years after a long and difficult marriage. I'd rather spend the rest of my days alone than spend time with a person with whom I do not match, even in small things. I want a happy, laughter-filled, relaxed relationship with an intelligent, fit, easy going woman. I'll wait.

Date a man from Arkansas, United States. Looking for a fellow traveler, muse and long term loving relationship with a beautiful soul and passionate spirit. I am manageably complex...with an easy going but energetic approach to every day life. I am perpetually curious, and a fully functional sense of wonder. I am an active, passionate and creative personality with a great sense of humor. I have sophisticated taste in most things, including women. My other passions and interests are with the arts.
I have had the pleasure of living in Colorado for the past 30 years. Have just been recruited to move back to the Bay Area -- April '12. I will be new in town but have relatives here, so not a complete newbie.
I have traveled the US and the world to see the cities, arts and culture. I still have many destinations yet to see and experience. I am a competent Sunday painter (watercolor) of the colorful Colorado landscape and my travels. I have lived in Colorado most of my adult life-- college at University of Denver and a 5 year stint in northern California for graduate school and then back to Colorado. I am an Architect and construction executive.
I have participated in sports my whole life, but I don't read the sports page first. Tennis still keeps me fit and skiing still makes me very happy...just fewer runs. I have discoverd golf again after many years.
Finally, I have two mostly adult children--25 & 29 who are still my good friends and mutual admiration society. I'm looking for the right person to learn from, have fun with and share part of your life's journey with friendship, humor, passion and mutual curiosity about all things. An attractive, self fulfilled, stylish feminine woman who is happy with most of the basics in her life, but will never stop learning. Desires a mutual partnership to build a relationship and is flexible enough to enjoy change and life's challenges with humor. Can share a good story about every day life and/or hold up your end of the conversation about current events.
You have found one or several passions--career, family, community, but your curiosity and sense of adventure keep you seeking all that life can offer. You live life with optimism and passion and are your own person.
Likes to travel first class, but know that the side trips can often be the most fulfilling. Can balance the intellectual and spiritual with the physical. Golf, cycling, tennis, skiing, walking and other activities in common would be fun but not critical.
My photos are mostly current -- this Christmas '11 with facial hair and skiing on super bowl sunday. The Eiffel Tower is from 2000, but such a great memories. Please,don't waste our time if you have posted mostly pictures from over 10 years ago, or if you have not stated your age correctly. Yes it has happened and it's very uncool.

Meet someone special from Arkansas, United States. Ok, I know nobody wants to do this online (or at all)…but, like you, I’m here, somehow, trying not to overuse the usual clich?s and to make it real with a little candor--and yes, I know, there can be truth in advertising and bluff in candor—so, I’m taking a shot
The short scoop is, almost a year ago, I lost my wife of 17 years, quite unexpectedly and suddenly, it was a terrific marriage, so naturally I want to do it again, right time, right place, right person, never the same of course, all good marriages are different, as Tolstoy might have said, I’m ok about looking forward, it’s the only game in town after all, not looking for a hook-up, though I miss the physical intimacy, no agenda, just come what may.
I’m a good guy, lawyer in SF, cutting back my practice now to take up my previous passion for literature and history (Ph.D from Cal a million years ago before law school), writing, teaching, spending more time at a farm in the Sierra foothills, and traveling, good physical shape, no pictures uploaded yet, 5’8”, 150 lbs, buff, attractive, bald
Hope we are lucky!

Meet men and women from United States. I am an honest person. I have integrity and good self esteem. I enjoy laughter and having fun but can be serious and involved in good conversation. I am looking for a friend first . I believe a good friend is one of the most important person in life. Romance is wonderful and hopefully forever but complicated. A good friend is forever. I do believe in god and our planet earth. I am grateful for life, friends and reasonable health as we get older. I am very comfortable with myself in any social scene. I enjoy sailing. I do have a boat in San Francisco and in Canada so yes, sailing is one of my passions. I have always gravitated towards water m mountains and just plain beautiful wilderness. I enjoy the big city scene but do have to escape at some point. I enjoy having a cold beer on a hot day , or a drink of coconut rum on that cold evening and/or coffee, glass of wine and cheesecake. Lets meet and have coffee and cheesecake. Thanks for reading my profile. Nick

Date single man from United States. My closest friends would probably describe me as loyal and someone who is always there to help. I'm a bit of a problem solver, someone who has good advice (but has a challenge following it). I am looking for someone who keeps herself in good physical shape with some insights in spirituality and morality. Beyond that there are more words......but in the end it will be chemistry and commitment. I would prefer to discuss more over coffee. I will send you a picture if you are interested.

Date a man from United States. I asked a long-time, female friend to read my profile and give me feedback. I just deleted most of it (except for the paragaph at the end) and am posting her email to me while I re-work my profile!
Hi David,
I'm home sick today, and catching up on email. I just found you on Match, nice photos, quite a diverse display. Some comments I have, I'm open to more discussion about this.
In reading your profile, I get a sense of how you spend your time, but not what your personality is. It's more about what you do, and I think women are more moved by men talking about their soft side. In conversation, are you a talker, listener, both? Are you light or serious, do you like to seranade your partner, or break into spontaneous dancing? What makes you a unique person? What do you like about yourself that you value in sharing with a partner?
What I like about you is that I find you to be a person of high quality... you're honest, loyal, easy-going, very open and accepting of others, you enjoy music and dance, you're a good conversationalist (is that a word?) in that you both share of yourself and are very interested in listening to and curious about me. You're a people person with many friends, non-judgemental, open-minded and open-hearted, caring. Shall I go on? You're reliable and dependable, accountable, smart.
So, if I were to write your profile...I would only put up the photos I like about me now and not talk about losing weight as an intro. And instead, start off with who I am from an honest, yet self-loving and proud place. Then go into what I like to do.
I hope this is helpful. And there's a voice in my head that's chuckling bacause I'm not being the least bit successful online either, so what do I know about writing profiles?! Anyway, let me know how it goes.
Hugs,
Marital Status clarification: Match.com doesn't have an "Other" category. While I've lived alone for almost nine years, I'm still legally married since her employment had/has our health insurance coverage and, being self-employed, I can't obtain what I need. We're not "Separated" with the hope, desire or remote possibility that we might be a couple again, as we gave up on that about 12 years ago and she's in a longterm relationship and been living with the fellow for over five years. We're not legally "divorced" but the "marriage" ended long ago and the friendship we always had remains.
