Date men and women from United States / California / Berkeley, 56 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I've loved well and committedly. It's been rich and I've learned a lot about how to make myself compatible, about what's compatible for me and perhaps most importantly how to make my own goals compatible so I'm not demanding that my partner be impossibly opposite things.
Conversationally, I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I can do small talk but don't want to. I love thinking collaboratively, playfully, rigorously, and irreverently with a smart articulate woman.
To want the likes of me, I’m looking for someone who is like me in the following ways. You would be someone who:
Wants a partner who lives close so we don’t burn time and tons of greenhouse gas coming to and fro.
Is brazen, bold enough to speak her mind.
Is considerate, receptive and thoughtful, a phenomenal listener so we can trust each other.
Knows, monitors and curbs, your inner-weasel. We all have one. Even the sweetest gentlest women. If we mind our own inner-weasels we won’t end up chasing each other’s down.
Is still learning, not dogmatic but pragmatic.
Is verbal as by our age, rich inventive conversation will keep our love alive.
Is conversationally skilled, articulate, good at tracking conversation threads.
Is less interested in telling stories at each other than jamming, exploring and inventing ideas together.
Connects her intellect and life. Ivory tower and rarified isn’t the point. Thinking about what to do and how to live is the use of a good intellect.
Is introspective.
Has a feeling heart and a sharp mind.
Is philosophically and psychologically inquiring and playful, curious about how people work and how to work with them.
Has work you love.
Is cozy and sensual.
Is irreverent and not just about other people’s folly but her own.
Is self-effacing, since nothing lubricates partnership’s give and take quite like it.
Is politically interested, pragmatic and progressive.
Is beyond religion and even conventional "spirituality" since far more often than not it becomes a no-tag-backs hiding place for undue self-certainty.
Is far less interested in wine, cooking, sports or travel than in language, ideas and science.
Isn't quick to translate "I'm disappointed" into "You're mean," "I want" into "You owe," or employ unrestrainedly those ploys by which we try to pretend our guts always know what's right.
Is drawn to practical philosophy, interested in life's tough judgment calls and how to make them as well as possible.
I’ve got a lot to give. I own my own five bedroom home, have a fine income, my health, work I adore and solid avocation playing and singing RB and jazz. I’m good at cleaning and am no MCP. I have no paunch or wattle. I work out, eat clean, drink socially, stay fit, smoke a bowl occasionally, enjoy my own company, have the bright eyes of youth, have a quick sense of ironic humor and have demonstrated that when I fall in love I fall faithfully and well.
If you write me, I can point out a web site where a quick scan would give you a good sense of what interests me and whether we're compatible. I read like an open book there.

Meet single man from California, United States. Hi, thanks for taking a moment to find out a little more about me...
Not really sure what to say... I'm interested in meeting initially for fun and see where it goes. I like old cars and buildings. I play music regularly (guitarist). I love animals. I ski and scuba dive. I'm also a pilot, but not currently active. I"m looking for some one who has similar interests, talents and is interested in a little male companionship. I'm comfortable in both city and country.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. We don't usually pick our friends out of catalogs or prescreen them using resumes. I prefer a conversation. So, I'm hoping to give you enough here that we could actually talk about something. The irony of using the internet to converse by letter, as if we lived in 1800, isn't lost on me, but there you go.
Here are some things that we can talk about:
I'll never retire to Palm Springs, to wear white shoes and play golf. I like to spend my time *doing* something: creating art, music, software, guitars (I've built one from scratch); making the world a better place; I want to engage the world, not pass through it. Passion is important.
I'm a pilot---used to own my own plane---and have flown much of the country, so there are stories. I seem to be in London a couple times a year (speaking engagements), and I've been taking advantage of someone else paying my travel expenses to go exploring for a week or two after. I'd welcome some suggestions. I'm thinking Edinburgh, but my (German) neighbor is lobbying for Berlin. I'm holding off on Italy until I have someone to go with.
We could talk about music (or dance about architecture :). I play piano (Terry-Riley-style Minimalism---ask and I'll send you a URL). I just had a great time performing in public after a much-too-long hiatus, and plan to do more of that. If you're an artist's rep, let's talk even if there's no romance in the offing. My listening tastes are eclectic: Bach to Nine Inch Nails. Classical, electronic, techno, jazz, rock, blues/country/bluegrass, rap/hip-hop, gagaku, qawwali. You name it. I draw the line at ABBA and Chinese opera (but maybe I just don't know enough about the latter to hear it clearly). Educate me!
I read voraciously, so we can talk about books. I just finished Anthony Trollop's "The Bertrams:" engaging but depressing (20-somethings make stupid mistakes that they pay for for the rest of their lives); he's written better. I've been reading Gibson's three newest SF novels---I love his idea of virtual locative art. Hold up your phone and what you see on the screen is what you'd see if the phone wasn't there, but with a piece of art, visible only in the virtual world, superimposed). Hilary Mantel's "Wolf Hall" is good to talk about, since it's both brilliant and historically accurate. I studied History (and Computer Science) at Cal, so fractured history drives me nuts. I tried to watch "The Tudors" on TV, but I just couldn't take the made-up bits (or the haircuts). The real story is much better than the one they invented. I've also just finished "Bel Canto", and am still trying to sort *that* out. The book isn't what many people say (an exploration of the Stockholm syndrome), because the bad guys aren't particularly bad, and the last chapter is as depressing as Trollope's last chapter; people getting married, but for the wrong reasons.
We could talk about art (more dancing about architecture), or we could just meet at the DeYoung or MOMA and look at some. Goldsworthy's Spire over in the Presidio is always amusing. It's evolving over time, so I visit it regularly. ("Rivers and Tides" is a great movie, by the way, particularly Fred Frith's soundtrack.) I worked as an illustrator and jewelry maker in a past life, and still draw occasionally.
I write as well as read (9 books, a gazillian magazine articles, all very technical nonfiction). We can talk about writing or about tech, but I don't want to put you to sleep, so I'm perfectly happy abandoning tech talk altogether. I volunteer as an 8th-grade writer coach, which is probably more interesting.
If you're not so much in to talking, we could go for a bike ride, play tennis (I play at USTA 4), go walking.
Finally, we could talk about a relationships. I'm looking for an partnership, not a clone. I want a real relationship that will last as long as we will---not just a date. I'd enjoy having kids around (mine are all launched), but that's not required.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi my friends would consider me a funny and happy person. I like to dance salsa and any type of music including Greek and Indian and jazz. I like going to concerts. I like spending time at the gym. I love children and pets and they both make me smile I'm hoping to attract happy people because I'm a very positive person. I'm passionate about the environment. I love the outdoors. I'm most proud of making it to the gym everyday for one year. I have slacked off but I try to go as much as possible.

Date a woman from California, United States. I love life! My desire is to attract a passionate, creative man who has a passion for improving the world, enjoys his work and is available and ready to have fun and potentially create an interdependent partnership with a one-of-a-kind special lady. (That would be me!)
Isn't it time for men and women to collaborate, give and take, lead and follow and have more fun together? I'm ready!
I believe in cooking organic food together fast, and eating it slow. Long, slow kisses after a good wrestle. PDA'S, astrocartography and astrology. But mostly, I believe in me.
So, how will I get from believing in me to believing is US? Flow... I will know and you will know because the energy of US will flow from two fulfilled lives that slowly begin functioning side-by-side to make one larger whole. I'll probably feel immediately comfortable and playful around you. How do you feel when a woman feels "right"?
If you are wise, have an inner life, over your last relationship and available for a lot of fun, send me a note and this years photos (without sunglasses please). I'd like to look into your eyes, hear about your biggest dreams. Winks usually won't get a response, I want to know what makes you tick and why you're writing to me.
Hopefully you are affectionate, outgoing and ready for lasting love..
You love to cook, dance, eat, travel, laugh, have fun - swim and dive into deep conversations. If we click... let the adventure begin!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I believe in the essential goodness in life. I suspect that none of us are left tied to the stake of our heredity and early environment, predisposed by things we have done or which have been done to us. We are all growing, evolving, expanding: and that is the wondrous journey.
Being in nature simply is essential for me, the foundation for all that I do or am. And "in nature" includes the vast stretch of simply working my garden to wandering in secluded high-ion-energy mountains, waterfalls, seashores. I grew up in Northern California on several hundred acres of pristine forests and meadows. You will find me to be kind and gentle, compassionate and passionate, an INFP and HSP.
Music and the performing arts also are vital in my life, as is literature. I adore the sweetness of being incarnate, of movement, of how my body responds running in the early dawn. I am a good dancer; that is how I once made my living. Currently I sing in a professional classical production. No television lives in my home, just books and music and flowers and conversation.
I am tantalized by current research in quantum physics and allied sciences, discoveries that point to what the mystics always knew.
My energy level is high. Health and vitality always have been a given -- positive expectations that are continually renewed. I was married once for over 25 years. Though our paths separated years ago, we remain good friends.
Having traveled extensively in my youth, I went around the world on a Pan Am 1, then lived for some time in Europe, India, taught for several years in Casablanca. I came to recognize the oneness alive and vibrant in this world in which we live and love and have our being.
And the man who would be my partner? You are kind, compassionate, highly intelligent and deeply sensual. You meditate, believe in the numinous, and enjoy loving companionship and interchanges from which inspiration rise. You understand the importance of play as well as of work, of balance and harmony. You believe in leaving as light a footprint on this earth as possible, and you appreciate the immense beauty in nature and music and laughter and touch.

Date men and women from United States. I am a grown-up woman, responsible, passionate, and able to make my own decisions, looking for a man to laugh with, to dance with, to enjoy life with.
Online dating is not my first choice for meeting a date or a mate. It is a little too formal for me. I would prefer that we meet organically and get to no each other through a series of non-romantic encounters, as would happen if we worked together or shared a circle of friends. But that sort of meeting has become more rare in this socially hyper and fragmented world we now live in. I am a big believer in meet-up.com, and am the organizer or a local singles meet-up.
I enjoy both the country and the city, but like to live where I can have a few plants. The first tomato or blackberry of summer is a true pleasure that one can really only enjoy by growing them oneself. Animals are important to me, both wild ones and my own pets. That being said, I enjoy getting dressed up and going out—to dinner, a concert, dancing, who knows?
I have diverse interests and am curious about the world. I have spent a lot of my adult life involved in volunteer work for the community. Last year I took a trip across country by train and bus documenting the effects of these hard times on ordinary people. Along the way I discovered a real love of photography. At this point I don't believe I can save the world, but I would still like to leave things a little better than I found them.
I love being a freelance writer and blogger. I blog about frugality and am known the Frugal Goddess. My blog is really taking off and it's exciting! I even have over 2500 Facebook fans...
I am a committed progressive and social activist. The category "very liberal" doesn't really say enough. One of the public servants i admire most is Bernie Sanders.
Friendship is very important to me. Because I have no children and my family of origin is scattered to the four winds my friends are like a family I created by choice. I highly value loyalty and the ability to have fun, both in myself and in others. I work hard and fairly long hours, so I tend to cut loose a little during my leisure time. I spent a long time as a caretaker for others, and now it is my turn. I am a grown-up woman, responsible, passionate, and able to make my own decisions.
I am a woman who can understand a loving man, even without words, understand his inner being, without anything but seeing his eyes. I laugh often, and know how to express my feelings, and to hear yours. I love and value my own feminine nature, and like to be complimented by the masculine.
If you are a healthy intelligent adventurous man we should meet and see if there is any chemistry. At the very worst we might expand social circles. Right now I just want to date, but would be open to more with the right man I want to have even more fun exploring the world than I ever had in my life so far. How about you?

Meet people from United States. Friendship, integrity, intimacy, and creativity interest me. I hope you will want to guide me to the things that mean the most to you, I will pay close attention. I meditate daily, as it keep keeps my life in balance. I am a lifelong learner. The balance of a city's culture and the pleasure of being active outdoors makes me feel nourished ... museum visits, hikes and going to the beach are favorite activities. I find humor in everyday situations and have an optimistic nature. At this point, I am trying to take a juicy bite out of whatever life offers, taste it, feel it, see the gold, lately I am finding more gold. I enjoy music, design of all sorts and technology. I am a graphic designer. I stay fit by running. The San Francisco Bay Area is home with some years in Portland, New York and Europe. I find immense joy creating things, and helping people with my work. Looking for someone energetic with a quite side. Someone open, and compassionate who cherishes nature is all it's manifestations including the human ones. I like relationships where we are open to learning from one another. Pluses: You like dogs, have children, and are interested in the creative process. You think the ocean is magic.

I am a very visual person and enjoy, most of all -- seeing sites around me. I love nature. Love art.
As we all are: I am looking for that special person to connect with. For me that starts with physical attraction. So, if you're attracted: send me an email. That is the starting point.
I am looking for a partner who is close in age to me (or younger). Someone to share with and be close to. Sounds so simple: someone who can appreciate me. As well, I want a man to appreciate. I want a man I to love.
I love art. And am always creating some kind of art -- my focus right now is jewelry. My jewelry is on display (and for sale) at a lovely boutique in my neighborhood.
I lean toward the introverted side, but sometimes can be very outgoing. I like to be out, in order to see people.
I like going for hikes in nature.
I have traveled many places around the world. But, truly love the beauty found here in California.
