Date a soulmate from Berkeley, United States. Reader with classical tastes, writer of subversive provocations, French translator, folk musician, backpacker, tennis player, Zen practitioner and mild-mannered enemy of the state seeks magnanimous and intellectually alive companion to explore the tragicomedies of life and savor its ephemeral beauties.
Two of my main focuses are Zen practice and radical strategizing. Some people see these as mutually contradictory, but I think they complement each other. I relish the challenges they present and relax with a variety of lighter activities -- folk music, tennis, hiking, chatting, joking... I'm curious and considerate, playful and analytical. Usually very grounded -- except sometimes when a woman knocks me off my feet! The thing I love most in life is the spark of encounter and the joy of sharing experiences.
My ideal match would have enough lucidity to be aware of the problems in the world and enough compassion to try to do something about them when feasible, but also enough innocence and wonder to focus mostly on the beauties of life. She would have radical sympathies, practice some form of meditation, and be at least moderately well-read. That's an ideal, not a requirement -- but if you are not into any of those things, we might not have much to talk about!
Meet single man from Berkeley, United States. I am a easy going person. I am a caring and empathetic person Fairly silly things can make me laugh. I enjoy taking day hikes in nature, and that is one of the places that I seem quite at peace. I enjoy the usual things seeing exhibits at the museums, listen to NPR, eating with friends, going to movies, reading.
I am looking for a warm, thoughtful intelligent woman to share our lives and thereby enriching our lives.
Date a man from Berkeley, United States. I'm a spirited, active man who loves life, honest communication, and a deep connection with real people and with Nature. Fairly active - hiking, biking, skiing, travel - with a big, open heart for a generous-hearted woman who is fit, active, slender or average--I weigh 165 lbs.
I have a practice of Gratitude and know how to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, soup, veggies, great breakfast, and strong coffee. I'm monogomous and have been in long-term, meaningful relationships and am ready for my last, loving, passionate partner.
I'm financially secure and my partner would be the same. When we have so much to savor and enjoy in life there's no need to be materialistic; we'd rather travel, meet with family and friends rather than go shopping; we know how to cut loose and have a good time wherever we are.
I'd be extremely grateful if you are happy with yourself, compassionate, sensual, and affectionate with a streak of independence and a real girl who loves to dance in the kitchen.
You: you're a woman who knows and likes herself and has a warm and generous heart. You like to communicate and connect, quickly working through the differences to get on to the good stuff of being with a loving, supportive partner. You're not typical but unique with special, hidden gifts to offer. Extra magic if you love Italy--the land of my grandparents and "cugini"--learning italian, and discovering authentic italian cooking, traveling to Paris, Bali, Caribbean, Kauai.
Connecting at a deep mind-body-spiritual level is essential for the kind of passion and chemistry that makes it all feel so right and natural to be together while respecting time apart.
My interests range from Shakespeare to Santana to Rumi, both Dylans, Salsa and Swing; positive psychology; Public Radio--Wait, Wait & Terri Gross--The Buena Vista Social Club; Italy, Bali, Kauai; any book by Laurie King; fitness; and capuccinos and conversation.
I've taken classes at Esalen, Rancho La Puerta in Pilates, Yoga and, through trial and error, learned at lot about exercise physiology and what not to do. Would be glad to share and learn more.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am recently widowed after 38 years of marriage. I can cook, clean and do most everything around the house that is necessary for living. Because of this, I am looking for what I lost: a best friend and partner.
I am very smart, but my wife was significantly smarter than me and my daughter is also smarter than me. I love really smart and assertive women.
Body type is not important to me and my only criteria is for someone new not to be more than 50ibs above their ideal weight.
I am very loyal, emotionally expressive and cherish those traits in my partner. I am a cancer survivor for 10 years now. My wife brought me through that struggle. I was not able to bring her through her fight with cancer. I never thought I would outlive her but I did
