Date a man from California, United States. Born and raised in England. Arrived U.S. at 15 yrs. Finished education in San Francisco Bay Area. Always liked swimming and graduated to surfing in cold water at S.F. spots (and later all over – including Europe, U.K. and various tropics). I've worn various hats from early sociology research, to managing a Repertory Film Cinema, to managing a jazz club, played briefly in a '60's latin/jazz/rock band, and so on. Returned to "Urban Anthropology" research. Married twice, the last one ended two plus years ago. Remained friends. I've traveled a lot and enjoyed living in several places. I function in small groups better than large - I'm fairly introverted. Enjoy humour from Monty Python, Chris Rock, Douglas Adams (Hitch-hikers Guide), Living Colour, Jon Stewart, to more subtle commentary. I can be wry, ironic, and sometimes, gasp, sardonic.
Perfect match? Blimey, someone who can stand me and who(m) I like. Well educated, tolerant, liberal, decent looking, (Oh, and tidy). On the intimacy front this fellow is affectionate, when sex happens mmm good, although I give true affection and closeness the most importance. Now that I've read lots of Profiles I notice that almost all have a huge desire to go places and do things constantly, it seems. Me ....... been there done that, and I don't mean that condescendingly. I've been lucky enough to have satisfied my wanderlust both locally and around the planet, so the odd trip is fine, but jetting off through a check list of places sounds a bit tedious to me. I want to take life easy and enjoy the moment. By the way, it's possible I might consider moving back to southern Marin (Mill Valley or Corte Madera). I tried Match about a year ago for a few months, and only now do I realize that my profile was popping up for people ever since - unbeknowst to me - so if anyone tried to reach me I didn't know it.
Meet someone special from California, United States. Like to fish, retired sailor. Fit, like to commune with nature. Like to have a companion for hikes.
Would like to start painting again and capture sunsets. Have no need to prove anything, like to play chess and scrabble.
