Meet men and women from Oakland, United States. I am kind,well mannered,smart and strong. I am easily amused and entertained. I like to work with my hands and touch is important to me. How we connect,join and construct the relation between our realities is of great interest to me. I strive to focus,listen and hear what is being said and be responsible to it. I cannot read minds,have some hearing loss,and am not perfect. If I appear clumsy and confused that may indicate the difficulty of the subject. I am not everyone's cup of tea . I need to be around people who have a well developed sense of humor. Someone who is able to be a little irreverent, naughty and to fall off the age appropriate wagon occasionally. We may not always agree on everything,but if you did vote for Geo.Bush that is probably too big a difference in world view. I do not like mean people. My ideal match? A thinking and thoughtful woman who likes herself and likes me. A kind,warm person who is open,bright, patient, and a good listener. Looks upon each day and moment as another chance to experience life(not too sound too whimsical). I want a woman who will be direct in communicating. I want someone who likes to be held and breath with me. I want to be with someone with whom I can laugh and be silly.I like to hang out with but not exclusively mothers,swimmers,teachers,professors,lawyers,artis
ts,and biologists. I like women who are honest, attractive , and wear their experience well. I also like freckles . Someone who walks,hikes,goes to beaches,mountains, naps,be able to goof around, enjoy quiet, smart hands, know when to turn it on,off, and over. A woman willing and strong enough to love without loosing herself in a relationship. If all this sounds too,serious;then as I said before, it may indicate the difficulty of the subject. The written description next to my photo was done by my friends. Lastly my dear I am a fun guy who takes life as it happens. Look forward to hearing from you.

Meet single man from Oakland, United States. I’ve always enjoyed new ideas and activities - films, books, taking different turns on the road, revisiting old photos – you know; and old haunts...they may look the same, but amazing how they’ve changed after a few years (wait a minute...maybe I'M the one that’s changed!).
A big pleasure is accompanying singers on the piano and playing chamber music – not just the music, but it’s the exchange that I like, being in tune with people, harmonious. Are you creative, artistic?
And humor, comedy - laughing together is for me a big part of romance.
And being passionate about what really touches me; more conscious.
You know what I mean...so I don’t need to get into the tickling, right?
Retired from university/conservatory teaching, now a full-time composer and performer with an assortment of
interesting projects going on. Volunteering at a food bank - there's a lot to help out with.
And I want to know what fascinates and moves you.

blue eyes. Like to dance, see movies, listen to

as much as the body can tolerate. Have a few
hobbies, music, model cars, gardening and of
course traveling.

Meet a man from Oakland, United States. I'd descibe myself as a Renaissance Man if I could, but I'm probably more of a dillettante. I'm curious about almost everything, have eclectic tastes in literature, music and the arts. Lately I've been dabbling at writing and I recently took an acting class. I work full-time and my 20 y.o. son lives with me. He is a huge part of my life. Not to worry: he is smart, charming and handsome.I would love to find someone who is comfortable with herself, will accept or reject me for who I am (not likely to change much at this stage), who doesn't do any drugs (legal or illegal), a little pot is OK.
About me: After dropping out of Hastings Law School, I became a merchant seaman for the next two years. I thought that getting away I would find what I wanted to do with my life. Wrong! I came back to S.F. in the sixties and learned tie-dying, which I did successfully for the next few years (even
selling my stuff to the Grateful Dead). When that burned out, I got into my present profession. I have not had a boss for most of my life.
I am a curious soul. Why do men have nipples? How can little kids learn a language so quickly? Why do cats demand you watch them take that first bite? Since the Moon is 250,000 miles away, how can it control our tides? Why do Aliens always pick hayseeds to go up in the UFOs? Why do the voters in the Heartland think voting for Republicans is a good idea? When will the working people get their fair share of the wealth?
About You: You like to talk, you have empathy for others, you demand and give honesty. You pause the DVD before telling me that anecdote about when YOU were at the Treve Fountain. You've been around long enough to know not to sweat the little stuff, and you have the perspective to know that it's pretty much ALL little stuff. If you've heard me tell a story before, you will gently remind me and we will move on. You accept that I am not a good cook, but that I am a good dishwasher. If I say something that could be interpreted as hurtful, you know that I didn't mean it that way, but you will let me know so that we can clear the air. You believe that all people on Earth are our brothers and sisters and deserve a chance to have a happy and
productive life. After thinking about it, you might be able to guess what a "Relocation Facilitator" is. You like to touch and be touched in passing, just to say, "I still like you."
About my friends: curious, intelligent, trustworthy, loyal, nonjudgemental. They will like you and you will be happy to meet them. Which means we will probably have to go to Santa Cruz, Seattle, Redwood City, L.A., or Hawaii.
