Date a soulmate from California, United States. Thank you for viewing my profile, hopefully my pictures caught your attention and the rest of my profile will entice you further. I am told I look much younger in person and never really never was a tomboy, just very athletic and coordinated. As an adult , I have focused on and enjoyed the challenge of snow skiing and golf. I am an advanced skier and was a single digit handicap for years. After a tendon tear resulting in surgery I am wondering about my recreational golf future. .I am not interested in competitive golf anymore or skiing moguls. I just want to spend a couple days skiing with a special guy. I am fun loving, athletic, a VERY feminine female.I can dress up or be very casual and am comfortable with whatever situation arises. I am artistic and creative and currently learning to paint. I enjoy dining out and watching the sunset but am very happy to stay in and cook with you . I love happy hours with friends ,holes in the walls with great food or just staying home and catching up with net flix.I prefer a healthy diet, sushi, is my favorite.I have close friends and family whom I love to spend time with and I hope you will enjoy meeting them .I have a 15.5 yr old son who doesn't want to hang out with me anymore . He is smart ,witty and intelligent but has decided i am not "cool"anymore. He doesn't know how cool i am. I say in shape with mostly cardio workouts but am also starting to take yoga classes . I love learning something knew .
I am first of all looking for a guy with a sense of humor, easy going. Most importantly,I would like to meet someone to share,explore and enjoy life with.I want to be in love with my best friend .Someone who likes to travel and snow ski would be great. I am hoping to find a life partner, a friend first and then much more. Hopefully at this age you are pretty sure and in tune with your own desires and needs and have learned and grown from your past. I am financially stable and hope you are as well. If you are looking for someone special I would love to hear from you. Please have current photos.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi.
I'm 53 and comfortable in my skin, happy with rebuilding my life and creating a legacy, learning new things, taking reasonable risks and most of all my accomplishments raising my daughter. A Valley alumna, I'm based in San Diego but am up for opportunities in both places.
Away from dating for a while voluntarily, focusing on growing my business and work projects, I'm ready to meet someone for companionship or perhaps more.
An East Coast gal with all that that implies, I've lived around the U.S. (NY, DC, Germany, Silicon Valley, Boulder, Boston, San Diego), value intellect, quick wit, a global view, the ability to identify quality, and seek a man with a similar type of outlook, values and experiences. Married for 12 years, I have a 15 year old daughter and have been divorced since 2005.
A serial entrepreneur, I founded/run an e-commerce venture, am a marketer, 2D/visual/product designer connected to STEM (bonus if you know what this acronym means), education and the venture community, researching and learning every day. For nine years I've studied psychology, personalities and human behavior. In years past I worked for and with lawyers, was a Valley T100 corporate marketing road warrior, have been a SAHM and interior and retail designer. In my other life I would have made a great intelligence analyst.
I'm part cerebral part socially physical (not an extreme athlete), energized and relaxed, enjoying long walks/hikes, time in the mountains and desert, California's wild and foggy coastline and batting a tennis ball around. Since D.C. days I've loved watching Sunday polo.
Some of My Life's Adventures:
- Sailing the Swedish archipelago
- Wandering Cap d'Antibe to the Italian Riviera
- Taking Thanksgiving dinner into Death Valley canyons
- Touring NYC's tenement museum, then upper west side dining
- Tahoe wine country
- Cycling DC at dusk
- Aspen any time and mid-mountain high country
- New Orleans plantations in swelter
- Fishing off Thailand's Koh Samui
Whom you might be:
Tall, very well educated, with a warm, welcoming smile, hopefully a balanced creative and analytical thinker like I am, kind, compassionate, a good dancer and sensual. Ideally an energetic fire sign with a natural curiosity to discover, sometimes on a whim. Passionate about your life's varied pursuits.
Comfortable living life at the age you actually are, you're OK and quite real about life's ups and downs, human about your successes and failures and what you've learned. You apply wisdom and humor to both, and seek a peer in age and experience.
Known as a good man, you're an honest, straight-shooting communicator without hidden vices (though you appreciate good chocolate as a food group).
Hopefully you like birthing new things as an entrepreneur, innovator or investor. You enjoy dancing in the kitchen with a glass of wine while the surprise dinner-made-from-whatever-is-available simmers, making me double over in hysterical laughter, and traveling the globe.
Ready to shift gears, you move easily from dawn fishing boat to lunchtime gallery, afternoon sporting event to evening black tie gala.
More "we" than "I", you're social with an open home and are a joiner and contributor, but enjoy and value private family time and smaller groups of friends.
Putting mate and family first, you believe that time together is as important as time apart. You retain decent relationships with family as support and have long-time friends. Your words and actions are consistent, you believe in honor, integrity, responsibility and celebration, and have the skills to be a real friend. Not looking for the Perfect Woman and past that kind of idealizing, you would be great with an 80-90% match of the foundation ingredients, the Big Topic essentials necessary to go the distance as my parents, grandparents and aunt and uncle did
