Date men and women from United States / California / Menlo Park, 39 year old

Date a man from Menlo Park, United States. Hi, here are a few things about me:
People describe me as someone who is laid back and easy going, but intense when I need to be.
I enjoy a balance of work, fun and family, all of those things are key to a happy balanced life, and I like to pursue each of them with all of my effort.
I enjoy a quiet night chatting, enjoying a meal, or watching a movie as much as I enjoy a wild night out at a loud concert. I enjoy seeing live music much as I can, but I also enjoy seeing good theater or a great movie.
I am mostly not interested in spectator sports. Sitting around watching football or baseball on the TV is just not my idea of a good time.
I like to pursue challenging, mostly athletic, interests, and when I get into things I really get into them. White water kayaking was an early passion, then I got into triathlons and ended up doing some Ironman races, now I’m into racing cars. The excitement, adrenaline and danger – it’s hard to beat. Future passions will probably include multi-sport races, more kayaking, but I doubt that I will ever play golf.
I love to travel.
I have a 4-year-old daughter who I don’t see nearly enough of (she lives in another state), she is the greatest kid ever and I enjoy every moment I spend with her. I put a lot of energy into being a good dad, and it makes me very happy.

Meet someone special from Menlo Park, United States. Here to find a deep connection with that special lady. You are obviously very smart, fun to be with, interesting, considerate, independent, patient, have a versatile personality and with who a guy can easily settled down and live happily ever after.
My hobbies, some or all of which you may also like are mountain biking, hiking, reading, golf, world and local travel and interior-exterior design and DIY.
If you like to travel and explore new places, you will like the fact that in the last 9 months, I have done a mini-tour of South East China, Mountain biked and hiked in Moab, Utah and attended my cousin's wedding in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
I have lived in the SF bay area for more than 10 yrs since moving from England. Lived, studied (incl. PhD and MBA / worked in London and at Stanford. Lived with parents/family in Southern Africa (Zambia) and Southern Asia before moving to England in the late 80s. The Zip code 94025 is between my crazy but exciting work place and where I live which is a quiet and secure place where time slows down and you can hear birds sing and hear yourself think, ;-)
Folks who know me very well have said in the past that I am, confident, nice, down to earth and easygoing but ambitious, a person with high level of integrity, loyal, considerate, calculated risk taker, spontaneous, independent, calm as a cucumber under pressure.
Two of my poems are in the Library of Congress and are going to be published this year.
Would you not agree that meeting up is always much better than emails galore (or emailitis, for those familiar with medical terms)?
As always, conversation over latte macchiato at a local watering hole would be great. If not me, you might like the guy sitting at the next table/rock. If that happens, c'est la vie?...I will just beat him up on my way out ;o)
If interested or have burning questions, please send me a note. I am afraid I am not good at reading your mind following a wink...LOL

Date men and women from Menlo Park, United States. Smart, thoughtful and grounded are some of the words friends have used to describe me. I don't take myself too seriously, and believe laughing is an essential part of life. I love to be active, and split my time between running, cycling, yoga, and whatever adventure presents itself next. I'm looking for someone who enjoys conversation (topics might include Stewie Griffin quotes, or recapping the latest "This American Life"), doesn't like games, and worries about missing out on all of the important, frivolous, and undiscovered parts of life.
I'm looking for a partner in crime. Someone who is down to earth, has a strong sense of self and what they want out of life and a partner, a good sense of humor, and can appreciate my uncanny parallel parking skills. I'm all about seeking out new experiences, be it an exotic trek to Turkey or a local mission in search of the best mac and cheese in town. Would love to find someone with a similar wanderlust, who shares my eclectic mix of interests, and understands the importance of fish tacos and cupcakes.

Meet someone special from Menlo Park, United States. In chatting with my best friend about finding the perfect match, we came to the conclusion... "You can't complain about not winning the Lotto if you don't play." Ahhh yes, and that brings me here...
Who am I? ... I'm an outgoing, ambitious, fun, passionate, energetic, adventurous, driven girl with a sharp wit that can make even the most daring squirm.
My outgoing & eclectic personality keeps it interesting ... At one moment IРІР‚в„ўm at ease at a black-tie Ball sipping champagne, talking about the latest headlines and the very next day sipping a cold beer at a BBQ debating the quality of draft picks for the 49ers 2012 Season. The foundation for all my life and relationships revolve around my close connection with my family, both immediate and extended.
If you were to look at my schedule of activities the past 2 weeks you would see ... Working; hiking; grabbing a drink with friends; taking in a Giants game with friends; lots of laughing.
Who are you? ... Well, pretty much a male version of moi... Come on, it shouldn't be that difficult, right!?..
What was your schedule the past 2 weeks ... Working; meeting; socializing with friends; fitness; lots and lots of laughing...
