Date someone special from Menlo Park, United States. I am looking for a mutually fulfilling, fun relationship with long term potential. Because I am a partner in our venture capital fund I have some flexibility in my hours, allowing time for personal travel.
I have three great sons who are now in college (east coast), working in a startup (bay area), and working in a multinational firm (Russia). I get along with each of them very well; occasionally they even call to ask for advice (!). I admit that my one-on-one basketball games with each of them changed character dramatically when they grew from, say, 5-8, to 6-4 (where all three ended up). It is a serious problem to give away 3 inches in height and three decades in age in a basketball game. Although I rarely beat any of them anymore, I do give them a workout. More importantly, it encourages conversations that may not necessarily occur in other settings, resulting in my doing a better job as a father.
My golf game has improved over the last couple of years, and I can see a path to it getting even better.
It is not easy to predict the qualities a good match for me would have, but it's great if you are outgoing, authentic, and active. I like children, so if you have kids that is a positive in my view. I enjoy spending time with my sons when they visit. A very important but hard to characterize criteria may best be described as mutual chemistry. Meeting for coffee is probably needed to see how that works out for both sides.
I can see taking you to movies, hiking or otherwise exercising together, going dancing, trying out local restaurants for dinner, going to concerts, taking weekend trips to a variety of destinations, and also just relaxing.
My photos are very accurate. All were taken during the last two years except for the photo with two of my sons and my dad, which was taken in 2008.

Date a woman from Menlo Park, United States. How to explain who I am in such a short form?
I have read a few profiles, and I realize there are many kinds: short 4 sentences, a few pages worth of details, cute ones, funny ones, and some that say enough to make me read it again. In any case, I tend to look at the photos, in search for that look in the eyes that, well, makes me want to see we are interesting to each other.
I have been many things in my life, and now I am painting and writing again. I have always considered myself an artist, even when I haven't been able to make art, so I am happy to have the opportunity to be able to support my self at this juncture in my life.
I love music, it plays all the time, and I dance to it whenever the beat gets to me. Live music is so wonderful. I love the sea and the mountains, and love that my drive between them is so short in this beautiful place. Yes, I recently chose to move here, and am enamored with the area. A great date would be to have someone show me around.
Most of all, I love life and people. I have learned that I can not judge a book by its cover, but I am attracted by the spark of curiosity in a person's eyes. That being said, it is hard to see that in a photo, but sometimes....I think I see it.
And, I would go into outer space even if I knew I could not come back, but settle right now for riding my bike.
I would love to meet someone who could be my best friend, lover and partner, if all goes well. We have to start somewhere,
and I hope you want to have a cup of coffee with me, as we just might see that spark in each others eyes.
Have a great day, week, month, year, and life.
