I am very involved in local charities and keep myself extremely busy. My main job is taking care of my three beautiful daughters and managing a family business on the side. I love a nice glass of wine and good food, but mostly great company. I would love to meet a man who is engaging, loves life, and enjoys friends.

Great conversations can be very deep or just fun. I like to smile. I think the joy in life is noticing the details. I like to work out, do pilates or go on long walks or hikes through the city or the mountains. I like most kinds of music. I really like jazz. I'm a creative soul with a passion to design things that change people's lives. I have an extensive book collection. I'd like to find a person that is continuously looking at the world in new ways--curious and thoughtful and fun. He’s passionate about his work, but also likes to play and be with friends and family. He’s a person that is warm and wonderful that isn't intimidated by (or is actually excited by) strength and independence in a partner. Honesty is crucial. Fitness counts too.

Meet people from California, United States. I am a writer (of books, essays, stories, poems), a teacher (of students at a prominent university), a photographer (of the patterns of nature), and the mother of two adult children. My work keeps me busy and young; my family keeps me grounded. I am an activist who cares about social justice and a sustainable future. I love traveling and exploring, revisiting favorite places, discovering new ones, and most of all that feeling of being slightly lost. At home, I love gardening, harvesting, cooking, and sharing food with friends and family. I believe that wine is a food group and in the contagion of laughter. I am witty, whimsical, and empathetic. I love word games, not interpersonal ones. I value my own independence and respect others', but I also crave partnership, which for me is built not only on chemistry and love, but also on common interests and values, shared experiences both ordinary and extraordinary, mutual respect and support, and open and honest communication. If you are like-minded and local to the San Francisco Bay Area, drop me an email.

Meet a soulmate from 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.
Joan
Date a woman from Menlo Park, United States. I am a caring optimist, and incurable romantic. I love to laugh and believe that a good sense of humor is a cornerstone to life. I am a lot of fun and very easy going. Family is very important to me. My friends will say I am very loyal, supportive, and fun to be around. I enjoy learning new things and exchanging ideas.
I'm looking for a friend to share my life with. Someone who understands the importance of maintaining individuality, enjoys affection and the value of a good sense of humor.
Meet a soulmate from United States. Ready smile and infectious laugh. Athletic, very attractive, always fit and active with a great sense of adventure. Laid back yet cosmopolitan, sophisticated yet never full of herself. Fun-loving, generous, resourceful, easy to talk to, good company, good conversationalist. Above all -- a real friend. Excellent traveller. Genuinely interested in others. Creative, innovative, charitable and open. Well-informed yet irreverent and appealingly self-deprecating.
And modest -- if you can believe it.... In fact, all the above description comes from several good friends who I asked to describe me as I myself have a tendency to downplay my accomplishments. I would add that I'm easygoing, energetic, hard-working, kind-spirited, curious and able to laugh myself -- an animal-lover, hiker, lousy dancer, bit of a news-junkie and a photographer.
I came to California in my 20s to pursue a career in the software industry and started out at System Development Corporation in LA and followed the industry from the IBM 360 through The Interne bust from programmer to CEO. Currently I work part-time and serve on several public and not for profit boards.
As much as I love working, I also really value my leisure time and the opportunity to travel (though I do prefer traveling with someone to traveling alone), work on my photography, attend all the Stanford Women's Basketball games, spend time with friends, see movies, read lots of books on my iPad and take courses ranging from photojournalism to the The History of Jazz. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do and I hike frequently with my dog in the beautiful open space preserves around my house; I probably wouldn't do Machu Picchu as it's a bit precipitous for me but I love hiking in Alaska, Basque Country, Africa and Marin County.
I would like to meet a non-smoking, conversational, active, physically fit, financially stable, interesting and interested man. Intelligence and street smarts also important.
