Date men from United States / California / Emeryville, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Well... I have brown hair with a touch of silver, a big bright smile, and warm brown eyes. Friends say these compliment my friendly personality but - LOL - I say think George Clooney without the annoying paparazzi!
Stuff I like? Hmmmn, let's see...
Art and other cultural events – the quirkier the better. I could spend days browsing through the amazing work posted on Flickr - it's fascinating to me how others see the world. I'm especially into public art and murals and give mural tours in the Mission for a couple of non-profits.
Music is my passion. I love it! Almost all types – Cuban, Latin, Reggae, old school soul... you name it. A recent favorite is the "Playing for Change" compilation. You've got to check it out! If you’ve got one, it will touch your heart. And speaking of which, Sade completely melts mine.
I love my family, love my friends, and people in general… good food (okay - most food) and Amoeba Music (where I tithe regularly). I prefer low-key and unpretentious to over the top type of places, red wine to white (unless we're at a dive bar, in which case I'll be drinking whiskey), and pretty much any independent little neighborhood coffee shop to Starbucks.
Some things I’ve learned about myself? Dancing lessons have taught me that I’ve got two left feet. Martial Arts classes have taught me that I have two right hands. Both have taught me that I'm not hopeless. And somewhere along the line I’ve discovered that I’m a good kisser (so I’ve been told).
Lastly, I’ll add that I’ve got a sharp wit and a great, sometimes sarcastic, sense of humor. Nothing in life is funny without a sense of humor and can you imagine life without laughter? No thank you!
I'd love to meet a woman who's into music, diversity, creativity and culture… Someone easy-going who can rock a pair of jeans, loves to laugh and can make me laugh! Seems simple enough... I know you're out there. Let’s do this thing! If you're feeling kinda shy - just send a wink.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hmm...summing up oneself...a work in progress.
I'm a geek, a leader, slightly introverted, highly passionate, immensely loyal, big hearted and adventurous.
I work hard running a company during the day. But make time every day to lead balanced life. Balancing time between family, friends and myself. I love cycling, snowboarding, hiking and hitting the beach. Cycling is a passion and I compete in century rides several times a year.
My dog, Ripley - named after Sigourney Weaver's character in Aliens, is one of the loves in my life. We spend time hiking in Marin, playing in the surf at Crissy Field or hanging at the Farmer's Market.
Music and movies are favorite escapes - though a dose of junk television is a welcome distraction. I'm gearing up to watch the Olympics and Tour de France this summer. Concerts, festivals and local live music are always fun!
Growing up in the Bay Area, I continue to find great new things to share with friends and family. From a great roadside burger joint to an amazing organic farm grown dinner or the best movie theaters in Bay Area.
I'm looking for a partner in crime. Someone ready to share the adventures life, has a great sense of humor, is secure in who they are, able to communicate honestly and have passion for life.
Staying fit, without being obsessive, should be important. As is eating healthy. Though guilty pleasures are the spice of life - dark chocolcate, delicious wine and savory treats.
My ideal evening might be trying a new hole in the wall restaurant before hitting the Kabuki for a movie, stretching out on the couch after cooking dinner or hanging with friends and family. On a rainy morning, you are equally happy staying in bed or splashing around the city.
I pay attention to the myriad of joys that make for a fulfilling life. The satisfaction of a job well done. Cool breeze on a hot day sitting with my dog. Laughter around the table while dining with friends or family. Sound of skis on the snow under my feet. Excitement of connecting with a new friend.
Message, wink or IM! This is a dating site after all.
