Date people from Orinda, United States. I intend to be the world greatest boyfriend/husband because that's what important to me, and if you're happy, we're happy. I know I can do this because I'm one of the world's greatest dads to my two daughters because that is what I want to be. I want the opportunity to support you emotionally to be the best, happiest, and most fulfilled as you can be. I know that when you tell me your problems, you might want support, not necessarily my solutions. I'm the kind of guy you want to meet when you've had enough of playing the field.
If you contact me, I can send you links for Wall Street Journal and New York Times articles about me
Emotional me: I am both emotionally strong and emotionally open, witty, romantic, engaging, affectionate, well above average in the passionate department, considerate of others, gregarious, and non-judgmental. Just because I cry at the end of romantic movies, doesn't make me a feminine guy. I am honest, but will lie if necessary if you ask me whether I think you’ve gained weight, and don’t ask me if I like the dress you’ve got on because I’ll just try to guess the right answer. I want us to be like two dancers in step with each other, a pair who is greater than our separate parts as we waltz and swing across the ballroom of life.
Physical me: 6 foot tall: I am 99% more likely to be taller than you standing on the beach, 97% in your 2.5 inch heals, 86% in your bad girl stilettos, so you probably don't need to worry that I'll be shorter than you (from CDC height/weight tables).
I am bucking the national obesity fashion trend at 195 pound.
Oenophile: able distinguish vintages by merely reading the label, cabernet from chardonnay without even tasting them.
I run 35 miles per week while the earth spins around 22321 miles, so in the big picture it hardly matters.
If you're shopping at Needless Mark-up (Neiman Marcus) and you are overcome by the urge, I wear a 42 jacket, 36 pants, and 13 shoe (I'm not holding my breath).
I am well spoken, and I do my part to keep the word “forsooth” from being stricken from the Oxford English Dictionary by using it in scientific papers, over editors’ objections.
I've written extensively on health, exercise, and nutrition and I am famous among a select group of scientists whom nobody really cares about, Stories about me have appeared in the NYT and WSJ on slow news days, elsewhere I have made the front page, once even above the fold for a story on coffee and cholesterol (I still drink Peets; we all live with our contradictions).
Men frequently complement me on my dress, sometimes prefer to be a bit edgy (pink, purple, or aqua jeans, occasional silk scarf).
If these aren’t enough I have other faults too, but what man doesn't?
My research can be viewed by googling "Pubmed", following the links, and entering williams pt.
What I want: How would I know? You probably have qualities I haven't even thought of. I’m not looking to date myself. If you don't wear Hermes, Chanel, or Agent Provocateur, or you have fewer than two Bentleys in the garage, that just shows you're smarter than I am. I hope you aren't perfect, because neither am I.
Something you did not know, that you will remember for the rest of your life, all because you read my profile: Research by Cerruto et al. (2008) showed that wearing high heels improves pelvic floor muscle tone, thus reducing female stress urinary incontinence.
My life-long goal: It's not about me; it's about improving the health and longevity of millions.
Thanks for reading my profile. Paul

Date men and women from California, United States. Most of my adult life has been spent writing and study and the weird world of experience that comes with such a life. Most of it has been spent on the West Coast. I went and joined the new colony called the Internet where I had a literary magazine and some newsletters, along with Sunoasis Jobs for Writers and Editors. Right now finds me in a transition since I'm taking care of my 92 year old alzheimer stricken dad and am embarking on a more dedicated publishing life. It's like the life I've had from my teens onward into middle-age has fallen away and I'm stepping into a new venture. I want to make it good. I want to make it good with the right person.
I do love women and treat them with respect.
I see the next fifteen years as the best ones, as a kind of fulfillment.
I'm at my best thinking and writing. I do love to get outside of it. When I was a kid my good old dad taught me how to fly airplanes and I sailed the Bay quite a bit with a friend of mine. I've backpacked into the Sierras and walked many trails throughout Northern California. At this stage of life my physical prowess has found a few limitations. I can still split wood. I can build a good fire. I love wine but have stopped for awhile as I tend to my dad.
I read a lot of the profiles from women in this area and am impressed with the wide range of experience. I love the Bay Area ethos of growth, development and "don't work for the man, be the man." When I lived in Berkeley the computer nerds taught me a lot of that spirit.
I was a counter-culturist when I was younger and then integrated into a more mainstream life and now find myself free of it all. Finally one is what nature intended them to be and I accept that. The rest is laughter and love.

Meet single man from California, United States. Hmm. Me, huh? I'm a tall guy with strongly-developed serious and frivolous sides. I love free-wheeling conversations with anywhere from one person to about eight. I'm dedicated to swimming, tennis, and my morning cup of coffee (especially on Saturday). I've found a relatively low-pressure professional niche, which allows me to pursue my intellectual interests in law and economics and to leave the office before sundown. I have fairly traditional, all-American values. I read everything from Robertson Davies' good stuff to Patrick O'Brian's seafaring tales; and my musical tastes range from Merle Haggard to Mozart to KFOG/pre-1992 rock. I also like to travel (U.S., Caribbean, and Europe) and fire up the barbee on summer nights.Like just about everybody else, I'm looking for somebody to love, care for, and share my world with. I am partial to a woman who is fun, intelligent, and a good conversationalist. It is also nice if she is physically active, likes to tease and be teased, and has a sense of adventure. In any event, she must be honest and communicative.
