Date men and women from Larkspur, United States. OK, here goes . . . . I've lived in the Bay Area since '76 (in Marin County since '89), so I feel like a native at this point. I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy - I feel strongly that one gets out of life what one puts into it, and focusing on what's positive, with confidence and a good sense of humor, goes a long way toward achieving one's goals. I've got many interests, and I continue to learn and grow - it may sound trite, but I don't ever want to lose touch with that inner kid in all of us, and the sense of amazement when you experience something new and outstanding (a recent example was my first trip to Glacier Point -in a word, incredible). Some of my interests are hiking (I love hiking trails on Mt. Tam locally, and I enjoy exploring new trails on trips out of town), playing acoustic guitar (I play Bluegrass, but don't worry, I also play Blues and Rock), seeing movies (I was a Radio-TV-Film major in Undergrad, so if you want to talk film, I'm your guy), sports, and music. I was an avid road and mountain cylcist before getting into hiking (it's amazing how much more you see and hear hiking rather than riding), and I work out 3 to 4 times a week at a Club (I'll admit to being addicted to Endorphins). I'm not much of a cook (except for barbecuing, at which I excel), so finding great restaurants is a self-preservation interest.
I'm looking for a woman who is bright and has a similar quest for enjoyment of life, someone with common interests, yet someone I can learn from and who can also surprise me (relationships, like life generally, should never be boring). As the Suzuki quote in my Moto mentions, there is magic in the World, and I'm looking for someone who is looking for it too. If you enjoy going to a great fancy restaurant, but your also at home on a hiking trail or at the beach (perhaps doing all three in the same day), that is great in my book. I have shared custody of my daughter (who is 17 years old), and she's a very important part of my life. Between quality time with my daughter, work commitments (I'm an attorney in downtown SF), and everything else, my life can get hectic from time to time. If you are someone who also has an active life, and can relate, that's a good thing in my view. Having a good sense of humor is a must. And if your a Giants fan, that's an added plus!
So . . . if this sounds interesting to you, let's see where this journey may go.
Meet a man from Larkspur, United States. I have a GREAT sense of humor and have been very lucky with two great kids now both in college, and a happy ex-wife and lived life in the fast lane. I have now learned from past mistakes finally! I am now completely comfortable being myself and like what I see when I look in the mirror in and out.
I now know its possible to meet the one.... and I am ready to embrace and commit,
My difference between a good time and a great time is attitude... add humor, chemistry and that’s a recipe!
Date someone special from Larkspur, United States. I AM LOOKING FOR A SINCERE WOMAN WITH INTERESTS IN MUSIC, ART, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND TRAVEL. I WOULD LIKE TO START AS FRIENDS AND SEE WHAT DEVELOPS.I am interested in an honest and spiritual (not religous) woman who enjoys outdoor activities, and travel. Likes to have fun as well as serious thinking.
Meet people from Larkspur, United States. I work with adults with autism and I experience a lot of joy doing it. Not bad for a day job. For the last 12 years I've been in England where I was married, raised my step son and ran a Learning Center for young adults with autism.I just came back a few months ago to look after my very old folks- and I'm thrilled to be home. I'd like to meet someone to be happy with - I'm looking for a strong, fun, sensual, intellectual, artful relationship. I grew up in San Francisco so I know my way around and have lots of very good old friends but... you know- I'm ready for love again. It's like feeling really healthy again.
Fitness is really important to me. I've always been an athlete and I'm in shape. I exercise a lot - regularly. I'm not young - there is an upside - experience is a good thing. I love to laugh and love. I'm naturally supportive I think. So my work is sort of easy for me. People say I must be very patient but- I wouldn't call it that because I am never fighting impatience.
I'm a well published writer - I read with the beats in SF when I was 17 - Brautigan and Lew Welch and I were good friends- I read with Lawrence F and Snyder and Ginsberg and Country Joe. I had ten plays produced and 4 children's books. I don't take things too seriously - friendship is sacred and no one gets left behind.
Europe was a great adventure. As were 6 years in NYC. Five years in Greece- 12 in England. Its so good to be home. I do like to walk in the hills I grew up in.
And this light... this familiar golden light.
I hesitate to say this but it might be important. Unlike most men I guess - I'm open to helping raise kids. I think I'm good at it, I've got two step children whom I love very much. They are brilliant, creative beings, working in New York and Berlin. Maybe since I don't have natural children - I don't feel done. I would be happy to be able to be in a relationship where kids were growing up. Just sayin'.

Meet men and women from Larkspur, United States. I am a fun, single guy who works as often as I must, and travels as much as I can. I worked in the ER for 15 years, and my sense of humor somewhat reflects that. Now I teach continuing education medical courses, and run my company's Bay area office. I am a pretty chill person; low, but not no maintenance, and am looking for similar qualities in the person that I go out with. I avoid high maintenance and high drama people both as my friends and people I date. Things I don't do... Shop just to shop; go to plays; museums overseas are great, but not here; watch TV sitcoms. I do enjoy hiking and camping, overseas travel; like a good book; enjoy biking; will watch football no matter what; am a soccer goalkeeper, and enjoy a good rental movie (favorite actors are Liam Nelson, Jason Statham, Steven Segal and Nicholas Cage). I am old fashioned only in the sense that I am polite, considerate and a one-woman guy. Other than that, I like to think outside the box and experiment in all areas of my life trying new things. (no drugs, of course) If you are slightly nutty and share some of the above interests, let me know. Oh yes, politically I am very liberal. Thanks for checking me out. Hope to hear from the right person.

Meet someone special from United States. I am LOVING, Intelligent, Confident, Steadfast, Cool/Calm/Collected, Creative, Perceptive, Kind, Giving, Faithful, Compassionate, Romantic, Passionate, Strong/Devoid of Fear, Open-Minded, Humble, with a Warm Gentile Smile…a GENTLEMAN - Chivalry...Knight
I’m consistent, respectful, attentive listener, dedicated and devoted to the woman I LOVE. I am deeply spiritual, sharing my beliefs through teaching, participation, and example; communicating my innermost thoughts and feelings. I have a deep understanding in the ways of life on all levels and I’m clear and experienced in how this world works. A doer vs. Ivory Tower
I seek a woman, soul mate who is deeply spiritual, and is...loyal, confident, kind, and completely believes in GOD/SELF/AWARENESS and in herself… That GOD/Spirituality are "NUMBER ONE" in her life.
I know we are all ETERNAL AWARENESS Fathomless - BLISS
I believe to LOVE another soul we MUST first be a friend to our SELF and LOVE our true SELF AWARENESS not the body and mind that appears, then we are able to love and be a lifelong friend, spouse, and eternal soul mate. I know to the degree we are a friend to our true SELF we can be a friend to others souls and to the degree we LOVE our SELF we will be able to express LOVE to ALL.
I believe in most marriages the foundation is based on sex, social order and survival; if that foundation is rocked in any of those three categories many relationship becomes adulterated and usually dissolves in disillusionment. I seek a loving bond based on two people with spiritual goals supporting each other's life with the goals of Enlightenment/Realizing the Truth of who they are. Not being a guru to each other; being supportive of each other's spiritual practice, life and path.
It is my experience that LOVE... cannot be given or taken it can be expressed through (Acceptance, Touching, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Giving Gifts, and Words of Encouragement). A woman doesn't want to be with a man who wants her because she's physically beautiful. Yet many women want to be with a man who successful financially so that he can be a good provider. So how does he feel loved if all she mainly wants from him is someone to provide and; how can she feel loved if all he wants is someone who looks attractive yet 95% of relationships operate at that level
It's almost impossible for One who is dedicated and completely focused on a spiritual path to be in a loving nurturing relationship with One who is not. One who wants the world, fame and fortune, or to save it as their primary goal. Almost all those relationships end up getting divorced. We are here only to free our soul nothing else the ETERNAL AWARENESS we are is already FREE. If we stay true to our spiritual path and Enlighten our mind by Realizing the Truth of who we are, then whatever physical outcome manifests (relationships, jobs, home, children, inventions) will benefit ALL...
I have been blessed with GOD's grace and I don't understand why HE is constantly expressed HIS LOVE to my soul and I am deeply grateful... GOD, Jesus, Ramana Maharshi, and Thomas Jefferson have all guided me to find that GOD, The Kingdom of Heaven and "Everlasting Happiness" is within our soul... not in the world that appears or with the worldly things that One may obtain or be given.
The following are important to me and perhaps to you:
GOD/FAMILY/Enlightenment/FREEDON/The Bible/The Constitution/ Impeccable INTEGRITY/ TRUST/HONOR/JUSTICE/LOYALITY/KIND/GENTLE/FAITHFULN
ESS
I am seeking a kind, warm woman who LOVE's, complements my soul and goals. Likewise I am completely focused on complimenting her soul with unconditional LOVE, loyalty, supporting her path, goal, and happiness. A mutually beneficial loving supporting relationship. True LOVE & WISDOM knows no age...
If my soul's mate is in this life she'll recognize me in a flash, I will welcoming Her with endless unconditional LOVE, kindness and tenderness.
Date people from United States. I am a very positive and sensitive individual. I am a good listener and fun to be around, I am into making every moment quality time. It could be sitting on a couch, reading a book, watching a concert or racing a sailboat. Everything can be magical.
Meet a man from California, United States. Yes, you guessed it, I plagiarized my profile title from a recent film starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. I thought I'd try it on for size and see how it fits as an intro to my Match bio...
I really would like to have one last best friend, lover and partner until the end of our days. How about you? After all, when we're our age, how many of those days do we really have left? (Even without an earth-destroying asteroid on its way, the number of our days is finite, and frighteningly small.)
I still have not given up hope that you're out there. Somewhere.
What you probably should know about me:
Most everybody describes me as a fairly quiet guy, though you'll find that I'm also direct and quite assertive. I tend toward introversion...and, life-long-learner academic that I am, I love to read. These days, I gravitate toward contemporary novels, and books on health, personal/spiritual growth, and relationships. I'm also an avid photographer (events, architecture, landscapes, and portraits). I like movies, music, hiking, walking, attending festivals, people watching, and avoiding boredom. I thrive on loooong intimate and/or philosophical conversations and many see me as "contemplative." I'm an excellent communicator and have an ongoing commitment to personal growth and development. I walk, hike or go to the gym every day for my physical and emotional health. I am often serious, but, at the same time, it's said I have an excellent sense of humor. I am very hug- and touch-oriented (great hands, I've been told)...and I am also described as authentic, articulate, transparent, intense, intuitive, intelligent, passionate, creative, romantic, and loving.
I am seeking a NON-drinking, open-hearted, honest, caring, sensitive, reflective and self-aware woman to share my life. PLEASE drop me a note (I typically don't respond to "winks") if you are interested in exploring our potential! (Ideally, your message will include your real, as opposed to your match.com, age...and a recent photo, if your online version is dated. BTW, my primary photo is from February 2012.)
Date a soulmate from United States. A decade ago people used to stop me on the street to say that I "look just like Dick Cheney." (For someone of my political persuasion, that might be considered something of a curse, but, after years of hearing it, it definitely acquired its humorous aspects!) Now, fortunately, I no longer resemble the guy that much, thanks to having adopted a much healthier lifestyle in recent years. Beyond that, I'd say I'm a very happily retired person who has a good sense of humor and is friendly, tolerant, nonjudgmental, and generally willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. (Not, perhaps, the qualities most people would readily associate with a retired lawyer.) In March 2012, I moved to Marin County to be closer to one of my sons. This has been quite a change after having lived in Sacramento for more than 40 years! But I'm looking forward to making great new friends among the many Marin residents who share my passion for healthy living.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am a down to earth and easy going girl who likes to have fun and is open to new experiences and adventures.
I am looking for a guy that would not only be my boyfriend/husband and lover, but also a friend, someone who I can share anything with and I have fun with.
