Date men and women from United States / California / Berkeley, 48 year old

Date a man from United States. Hello,
I feel that I've led a fairly full, though somewhat unconventional life. I've worked a broad range of jobs: from veterinary assistant to RA to ESL teacher to delivery truck driver; engaged diverse studies: Biology, Psychology, Philosophy, Nutrition and many Somatic Arts; travelled many different countries (lived and worked in Japan and Thailand). Though here I am in a rather conventional medium with username Y0bananab0Y (looking for Mango Lassi?).
I enjoy many forms of arts and entertainment, recreation in natural settings as well as urban adventures, foodie pastimes, travel: both regional gettaways and adventures abroad. Other fun things: creative idea generation such as screenplays and new business concepts, lounging with friends, performing stupid people tricks (as evidenced by attached), designing games and puzzles (see above palindrome riddle)...scrabble.
I travel often for work but am always grateful to return to the bay area.
I have a canine companion who often makes me smile (as well as exhibit other facial expressions such as complete shock), think of a scruffy, incorrigible Disney dog.
Things that make me laugh: stranger than fiction real life accounts of one's day that make you marvel, "You just can't write that!" (but take note and write it into some context later).
I'm hoping to connect with someone who shares some of my interests and sensibilities, appreciates my humor, point of view and insights, and provides me inspiration and support as I do for her as well. Our life experiences would be enhanced; we would have a lot of fun and acquire many more stories to tell.

Meet men and women from United States. I'm a nascent Berkeley transplant, beginning grad school this fall after my job will be outsourced (to Luxembourg, of all places) this summer. I already have a couple of advanced degrees but am looking forward to new intellectual and personal experiences in an area which is new to me and which I find fascinating.
I work too hard, enjoy new people and experiences, and love to travel -- anything from the usual list of 5 star resorts, to floating hotels (more like floating tents) in the Amazon.
I grew up in the Southeast, have studied on the East Coast, and in Texas, South America, Europe, and Louisiana, but have worked almost exclusively in the US. I am very close to parents and to my 6 year old son but see him far too infrequently.
I hope to meet a smart, accomplished, self-confident woman who appreciates her career and has an charitable bent. I enjoy spending my time with people who are smart, clever, and perceptive. I am attracted to women who are physically fit. A polyglot is a plus, and I love accents.
Life is great right now, but I hope to meet someone truly extraordinary. I'm looking for a relationship based on mutual respect, admiration, and appreciation.

Date someone special from United States. Most of my friends would say I have an easy-going giving personality. I like bamboo and Cactus. I like to cook healthy food. I'm Friendly, musical. I work too much but take great satisfaction in doing a great job and being paid well. I like to Mnt Bike. I practice yoga" Hatha Flow, Iyengar. I want to do more spiritual retreats and meditate with 200 people in a room, 4 times a day. I love music and keep instruments around the house. Lap top steel and Dobros are my favorites. I've been to Burning Man 7 times. Don't know if I'm going this year but my friends sure want me to go. I went to the Amazon and drank ayahuasca with the Shipibo Indians. It was one of the most significant spiritual experiences I've had. Sometimes I listen to Schmelzer Violin Sonatas. Other times I love getting down and funky to some Opiuo. I love Game of Thrones and Trueblood. I also love to read when I can find the time to quiet down. I'm looking for a long term relationship. I am totally open to having kids. I want to have them sooner than later because I'm getting older. I don't have time for drama in a friendship. I know these profiles can't really relay who we are. We probably know if we stand a chance within the first 10 minutes of meeting. A sense of humor is a big plus as I will laugh at anything! A best friend is best. An Activity partner. Someone to share laughter and crazy wisdom with. I want to create HOME with someone for an awesome 2nd half of my life.

Meet people from United States. I tend to be more your chivalrous type of guy, opening/closing your doors, and making sure you feel special. I like being active, whether working out 3-4 times a week, traveling(Near/far), attending spring/summer festivals, concerts, wine-tastings, county/state fairs, sporting events, or just one of lifes simple pleasures, like viewing the sunsetting from the shoreline, on a warm evening...Just to name a few. Or just that simple quiet one on one time with you listening to music doing nothing at all. I'm a pretty open-minded.
I also like to be positive and upbeat. Laughing, joking, and getting a little silly at times. You can't take life too serious, all the time!
I like being romantic, sending you flowers on a Tuesday, just beacuse. Or calling you up, telling one of my "Corney jokes", just to make you smile and hopefully brighten your day.
I'm looking for a woman that canTruly Appreciate being treated special. Let's get to know each other, and see where things go from there...

Meet single man from United States. Writing about me is a bit funny....Basically, I am in the IT business and for the past twelve years I have been working in the US and overseas. I love travel to exotic locations around the globe. I also enjoy skiing, motorcycle riding, reading, dancing, movies, backpacking and other outdoor sports. I work out regularly, and I am in good shape. I am looking for someone who shares my passions. We don't need to share all of them, of course, but I’m looking for someone that is health conscience as well…. I'd like to find someone who is supportive and nurturing, has a good sense of herself and has her own opinions and ideas while retaining an open mind and the ability to learn and grow; she is interested and able to bring these qualities to a relationship. Honesty and communication are very important she can expect the same from me in return. If you enjoy a good discussion (or some verbal repartee, or at least some silly comebacks :-) that's a big plus. I am a bit shy at the beginning but as things progress…I am very outspoken with a great sense of humor. I'm really looking for someone to spend time with and get to know.
