Date men and women from United States / California / Berkeley, 51 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. Like you, I have many more dimensions than I can possibly describe. It's hard to pinpoint my "type", but as I think about it I suppose I do like a bit of an edge, maybe a little silly sometimes. I like passion. I like curiosity. Cool. Calm. Balance. Creativity. Lead. Follow. I like someone who occasionally helps contrive the circumstances to reach a higher plane of consciousness together. It takes time and surroundings. Effort. Attitude. Play. Humor. Embrace irony. Accept contradictions. Imperfections. Absudity happens. I also like someone who swears every now and then, as it seems human to me. I like a critical but realistic view of society. And a compassionate view, too. I like to learn from you. I like to share with you. I like you if you don't like the din of self-promotion in our culture. And now I must self-promote. ----- But first, full disclosure that I'm going through a divorce after a bona fide separation of several, actually many, years. Clean mature reasonable split. All in all, as healthy as can be. Working through the MSA now. Timing so that everything wraps up as my oldest daughter leaves for college this fall. ----- Okay, some of what I’ve done: I've been "educated". Have taken some risks just for the fun of it (like roadracing for a decade, sky-diving, SCUBA), hiked the John Muir Trail a few times, hiked a lot in the Alps, played some college football, lived in places like Zambia, Belgium and NYC, vacationed in Italy maybe 15 times, helped to generate two beautiful, talented, worldly, and interesting daughters (17 and 13) who I love tremendously, made some good choices, and some stupid ones, and lots more. ----- And some things about me: I tend to be intensely focused and on, or switched off and relaxed. Although more on the relaxed side now. Learning to better live in the moment, without physical risks to force that. Would like to discover yoga. Would like to paint or sculpt. Equally drawn to old heavy industry sites, pristine wilderness, urban decay, sacred spots near water. I'm a freethinker, and think forms of thought control or brainwashing are really messed up. Have a strong interest in metaphysical topics, cosmology, and in physics, from a lay perspective. Beauty! Can feel at special times an energy in the universe. Liberal on social matters, but temper that with economic reality. Progressive. Have views on the balance between government-provision of solutions and private, market-based ones. I'd like to think that dogs smile at me. No, I'm convinced dogs smile at me! I could never be a politician. No desire. Not threatened by your success. More consumed with Eros than power and status. Admire bonobos? "Quality-over-quantity". I'm very social, especially in smaller groups. Oh, I love to study and connect history-politics-economics-culture-sociology-biolo
gy-anthropology-conflict-geology-you get it. ---- Some things I have: humor, shoulders, tools, glutes, 50gbs of music (love anything that grooves, love Indian and middle eastern, love sitar, also western alternative, classic rock, classical, and other...), about 15 pairs of sunglasses. ---- Some things I don't have: I sold all my race bikes (and miss racing very much), health issues, piercings, much baggage, much hair. ---- The last several years have been all about my daughters as well as reviving my career. Racing had distracted me from the huge deficit in my life, but now that absence of deep connection and basic fun companionship is glaring. I'm excited about maybe finding someone special. I'm not in a rush, though, and you’ll find a very easygoing approach. The "One" might happen someday.

Date people from California, United States. Hi: I'm athletic, easy-going and passionate about things I care about. Adventures of the mind and body turn me on. I'm an intellectual in the humanities, but I love keeping up on the latest discoveries in genetics, cosmology, and a few other disciplines. I'm very liberal and into politics and world affairs, but I also enjoy simple pleasures and daily rhythms (the little things, from dawn to dusk). I'm a vegetarian, not a vegan (life without good milk, cheese, and yogurt is difficult for me to conceive), so if you're a rabid carnivore, please pass me by. Looking to find a single educated woman for romance and a long-term relationship. I grew up in the Bay Area, and studied at Berkeley and Cornell, and have lived for a year in Germany. Taught at the University of Michigan and Union College, in Schenectady, NY. Since then I've worked as a freelance author, editor, and educator. I'm attracted to women who are smart, curious, and passionate about their own interests. You are well-educated, linguistically adept (fluent in German would be nice). Deal-breakers: you can't imagine loving a vegetarian, and/or have any attraction to monotheism. If you find my profile interesting, I'd love to hear from you and get acquainted.

Date a soulmate from United States. IРІР‚в„ўm diving into the cyberspace to meet a companion for a sunny and a cloudy day. I am ready to take a hike in the Marin Headlands, to walk under the redwoods, to see the latest movie, or to go to dinner and savor not only the food but also the good company. I appreciate a good conversation, intelligence and wit. I describe myself as someone with an open mind and an optimistic outlook on life. I offer a smile, warmth, a good sense of humor, and an interesting conversation. Human relationships, whether family, friends or coworkers, are important to me, and I draw a lot satisfaction from them. I appreciate growth and development, and focus on enjoying the journey as well as the destination. So, off I go into the cyberspace full of complex algorithms and mysterious coding, where my virtual existence will be measured in nanoseconds. See you there!

Date a woman from United States. I am an artist with an engineerРІР‚в„ўs brain, an engineer in a dancerРІР‚в„ўs body. IРІР‚в„ўm in excellent shape: petite, curvy, and I enjoy being active and athletic. I get recharged going for a run or a hike or just being in nature. I combine the best of both worlds: the art and science of life. I am smart and silly, artistic and scientific. I got a perfect score on the logic portion of the GREs but can get lost on the Bay Bridge (thank god for gps).
I think deeply about things and feel deeply about things. I am completely authentic and realistic. I can be very grounded “calm in a crisis”, but like a butterfly when in love. I have a sense of humor and sense of irony. I like to have fun and love to laugh. I like to go out and I enjoy good food and wine.
I am the mother of a 13 year old girl. I take great pleasure in spending time with her, guiding her, and watching her grow.
I am always curious, always learning. I am studying Spanish and learning banjo and trying to negotiate my new digital SLR camera. I have tried my hand at writing and painting. I am drawn to paintings with clarity, color and light, like Thiebaud, and if I ever finished one of my paintings it would be like Hopper.
I am looking for an active, fit man to share adventures large and small. A thoughtful person who loves ideas and art and likes to talk about them. Someone who likes to dance or is willing to come listen to the music and maybe hold on for a spin on the dance floor. A man with the means and interest in travel and being outdoors. If you can make me laugh, maybe we can enjoy the pleasures in life and help each other grow.

Meet someone special from United States. HowРІР‚в„ўs your summer so far? Is the living easy? Are the catfish jumpinРІР‚в„ў? Is the cotton high? I could carry on and ask about your father's wealth and your mother's pulchritude, but after all, we barely know each other. (Hmmm, if you're not familiar with the song that I'm invoking, this message must seem cryptic indeed....)
Okay, so I have a playful side… I like word play; horse play (whatever that is exactly) as well as playing the horses (and the market, and the radio); way off-Broadway plays; slow-mo replays of dazzling baseball plays.... (But please, no foul play.)
But of course life isn’t all play, at least not this life; I’m no stranger to the other side. Indeed, melancholics are encouraged to apply. And if just the word “melancholy” scares you off, then please, hie thee to the next bachelorette.
I'd love to hear from you if you are sharp of wit and tender of heart; if you love to travel over roads of the earth and roads of the spirit; bonus points if you date women your own age (even if that's not my age). And If you, too, need your minimum RDA of irony.
Happy summer, in any case.
****PLEASE NO WINKS****

Meet a soulmate from Berkeley, United States. I'm an affectionate and thoughtful person. Little things give me pleasure and it's a joy to share these with a partner. As I'm creative and entrepreneurial I'm undaunted by initiating and manifesting new projects and adventures. I'm in good shape and am comfortable dressed in jeans or dressed up for a night out. I enjoy exploring off-the-beaten path adventures, restaurants, culture and people in addition to more mainstream offerings. I am curious and open-minded and enjoy the process of discovery a lot especially when it's shared. I can be serious or playful depending on the context and mood. I appreciate and maintain a good sense of humor
I have an elementary school-aged son who lives with me half-time and keeps me learning and growing. His current passion is baseball so I've put in time as an assistant little league coach (not exactly my skill-set but the team and I survived), and listen a lot to him explaining different plays and players.
I'm seeking a man with a good intellectual appetite and big heart - a mensch with a fit body; someone who would enjoy sharing a hike, an interesting adventure out in the world or an evening at home making dinner alone or with some friends. You are cosmopolitan but unpretentious and can laugh at yourself. At this point in your life you get satisfaction from your work but also have the time and interest to create an intimate long term relationship.
