Date men and women from United States / California / Mill Valley, 55 year old

Date a man from Mill Valley, United States. I am an interesting combination: I am very artistic, in that I design what I build, and I am physical in that I am happy to carry the beams and timber, do not mind sweating and working hard, yet I wear glove because I like my hands clean......I love to read for pleasure and work, (grew up without a TV) yet enjoy movies and the arts a lot. I gave up drinking a long time ago when I realized how much time was wasted with people I really did not care about, and I know that I am not a "man's man"; I prefer the company of a woman I care about a lot more than sitting with a bunch of guys watching football at a bar. I am comfortable with myself and the choices I have made. I am un-afraid of risk, even though I have know failure as well as sucess. I seek contentment...one of my favorite I Ching lines is ....contentment, is Eternal contentment enough....." I am definitely a monogamus type of man, I will not waste time with "playing", but I will not rush... I value people with high personal values, even if I do not agree with all of those values......and there is a lot more, including that I love to laugh and enjoy myself! I have lived iand worked in Japan for 3 years( work visa) and been to China twice and Thailand twice, England once and I want to travel across Europe someday......
She should be unusual, exotic, maybe unconventionally beautiful, with a strong sense of self, someone who understands that placing someone before yourself is more important to lasting happiness than short term satisfaction....she should want a man who wants to please her, and not think that that is a weakness, for I enjoy pleasing the woman I am with.....she should be able to enjoy her freedom in our relationship, not feel abandoned because of my work or hers...... and she must be intelligent, because I easily tire of fools, although I do not claim anything but average intelligence myself......

Meet single man from Mill Valley, United States. I live and work in Marin, in the financial industry. Proud father of three great adult children. I have traveled a bit in my life: southeast Asia (years ago), New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean and more recently Amsterdam, Paris, Antwerp, London. I've also seen much of the US. Enough travel to make me want more.
Regular workouts and competitive rowing keep me fit, though there is always more to do! I love local spots like the Buckeye Roadhouse, Bungalow 44, Bix, Sol Food, Joe's Taco Lounge and Tony's in North Beach.
Good movies, good books, crossword puzzles, red wine...all great. I like easy-going, unpretentious people who have some depth but don't take themselves too seriously. I work hard, value integrity and honesty, and admire those traits in others.
Learning to cook and striving to eat well.
I prefer warm to cold. I like the little things in life: going out to breakfast on a weekend morning, a drive up the coast and weekend getaways. I like to laugh, to go to trivia night with a group of friends, to break open some champagne...just because it feels right. I love music, need more of it. I like it all that much more with the right person.
Lots to do.

Date someone special from Mill Valley, United States. Often I'm told I am very warm, engaging, funny and very female. My father instilled that, always hugging us or holding our hands when we were young. I'm pretty simple in that I like being feminine and most definitely want a masculine guy. I do want someone who has lots of interests - is excited about life - has good friends that he sees and sometimes, we see together.
My family traveled west to LA when I was 12 from the east coast. I attended junior high and high school there - (no, I didn't become a Valley Girl - at least I never felt like one:) I decided to explore the Bay Area and picked a college there...it was great, but LA called again, and I returned to find myself married and with two great kids. After a while, we transplanted ourselves in SF where we lived for 15 years. I've been in and out of the restaurant biz for 15 years... currently I'm in event sales for a longtime SF company.
I'd prefer that my mate have kids who are out on their own... it can get complicated with all of the scheduling, etc. Having a best friend is my top priority in a relationship - trust, love and wanting to be part of the other's life and not afraid to embrace the great moments as well as the not so easy ones that we all know happen. Most importantly, talking about things we are feeling or experiencing is important. Exits are easy... working it out is the stuff of champions.
An English major in college and to this day, love writing - perhaps, one day that great American novel (or screenplay?).
I need to feel in balance and don't like most extremes. When the scales seemed tipped, I will set out to make it right immediately. Fairness, honesty and love of living mean everything in my daily routine and I want the same in my guy. I need to admire and respect him, so ethics and similar values mean a lot to me. I enjoy being with a strong man but I don't want him to be afraid to share his feelings...
I like men who are strong and aren't afraid when a woman shows her strength, but instead admires it. I think it's very cool when we attend a party or event and he makes sure I know he's there with a wink, hug or smile but not attached at the hip.
Here's something important - fellas, don't send those winks, smiles or add me to your favorites. I truly delete them and the profiles attached. It is sort of like not caring enough to walk across the room and say hello....
Finally, please make me laugh!

Meet a woman from Mill Valley, United States. I am walking through a door right now of freedom I have not experienced in years. I have a wonderful group of friends and family. I have successfully launched my son off into the world and could not be more proud of him. I have work I love and flexibility that I appreciate. I am very grateful for all I have in my life and would like to share time with someone who feels the same. It is an exciting new chapter and I am looking for someone interested in playing, traveling, relaxing. I am independent, love and need my alone time, and am "low" maintenance. I enjoy life. I love to laugh, and would rather take life not so seriously, but like to have serious intelligent discussions on many topics. The rest is chemistry!

Date a soulmate from Mill Valley, United States. I'm deeply curious about the world and love to meet new people, discuss ideas, and see new places. Caught between two coasts: New York born and influenced, California sensibility.
I'd like to find a man to share the joys of life: hiking, sailing, dining out with friends, volunteering, and traveling.
While, I admit to having a "fashion gene" - blame it on my mom and time spent as a model- I prefer a casual lifestyle.
