Date men and women from United States / California / Palo Alto, 51 year old

Date people from Palo Alto, United States. Personally, I am most passionate about a happy and rewarding family life - a beautiful thing. I love my children and, when we lost their mother a few years ago, we have come closer together. I would love to be with someone who values family life and can lead, inspire and make us better while we do the same for her.
Professionally, it is helping people with the skills I've acquired. I'm determined to lead a purposeful life, and happily, that works in both personal and professional settings. I'm trained in medicine and engineering and thrive on the applying these together to solve problems.
I'm highly motivated and energetic, but know how to chill. I would like to find a woman who has both drive and passion, and who is comfortable with herself. If you know this quote, I like you already...
"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
The ideal person would answer the important questions the right way and would have lived consistently with those answers.
I am drawn to the outdoors, technology, health matters, music, food, and art. If you want a true and caring partner in life, a personal pilot, a gym or trail buddy, someone who will be happy cooking on a Viking or a rock, a guy who will fix your dang laptop, a friend to all dogs, a snuggle-in-front-of-the-fire guy, a person to explain how pacemakers work, or if you might like hearing things like "let's go to Antarctica," it will be fun!

Meet a soulmate from Palo Alto, United States. I'm not typical or ordinary. To me those words spell mediocre and boring. If you strive to be different just for the sake of being different you end up weird or just dressed funny. But I have always sought to be that different way that was unique, inventive, curious, unaccepting of conventional wisdom until I could prove it to myself... I can talk about my feelings and listen, but I'm an alpha male when I need to be. I like italian clothes but I'm just as comfortable in my boots out in the wilderness. A dry sense of humor but no problem being silly or telling a joke and laughing at myself doing it, eat drink and live. I've been very successful in my career and creative endeavors. At the same time I am a hopeless romantic and optimist, nostalgic, loyal, and my mind is a rushing stream of consciousness. I've overcome my stage fright.

Date men and women from Palo Alto, United States. I am an easy going, often cultured and sophisticated well-educated professional. My friends tell me I am handsome, generous and warm hearted with good character. Outside of work I prefer to be active outdoors and take an interest in culture and fine living. I can cycle long distances, swim or workout -usually not more than per week. If I have the opportunity I can sail, wind surf, snowboard and play tennis often with more effort than style. I also like to explore new places (sometimes best on a bicycle). From time to time I like to visit museums, art galleries, attend a ballet, an opera, or theatre, discover a new restaurant in SF and read as time allows. I like to travel. So far mostly in Europe where I lived for some years in the land of chocolait and cheese, so I still have many exotic places to explore. Outwardly I am reserved in character yet underneath the outer calm I have a strong core of self assured confidence, curious and full of adventure (I really have slept on a beach, under the stars - watching meteors ). I am strong and passionate, with broad shoulders and long arms that would love to wrap you up in big long hugs, that last till dawn. I have a strong inner belief in good values, being true and honest. I live a clean and healthy life with respect for the environment and those who live in it. I have a good spontaneous sense of humour, more word play than sarcasm. I have been separated/divorced for several years and get along well with my ex-wife and her new family. In recent years I have learnt how great it is to experience the full commitment of a relationship. To enjoy giving and receiving that special something. My children are 17 and 20. They are bright, fun, caring and completely independent. In fact so independent and social with their own lives, I get a brunch once in a while. Many of my photos are recent (except the tarzan). I am still trim and workout not often but intensive enough. When we meet your only surprise is I look better than my photos, or at least so my friends say. As if describing myself was not difficult enough, trying to describe who would be my best match is an exercise in contradictions.....

Meet men and women from Palo Alto, United States. If you are looking for a fun loving friend and an intellectual woman who is confident and comfortable in her skin, then read on. I am a high tech executive and I also run a nonprofit on the side. I love art, music and being outdoors......love French and Spanish and hope to learn at least one these languages at some point. I have two amazing kids who are growing up and need their own space so I guess its time for me to think about myself.
I would like to find someone who is interested in enjoying every day of life. Someone who enjoys going out just as much as reading a book together or watching a movie. An individual who is thoughtful, caring and generous. Someone who has traveled the world and respects other cultures and people. I enjoy intellectual conversations and am interested in world affairs. It would be fun to have a stimulating conversation over wine and dinner. I am down to earth but also sophisticated in taste.
I love cooking, listening to music, going for walks, hikes and skiing with friends and family. Just returned from Argentina and fell in love with the Tango! I think I make a pretty mean chocolate souffle. I also enjoy writing and doing art and otherwise just having fun and being active.
I love all kinds of music from rock bands to classical and opera. From the Stones, Beatles, Annie Lennox, Elton John, blondie, Steely Dan, Chrissie Hinde, Joni Mitchell, to Chopin and Bach and more recently Tango music.
A few of my favorite movies are Diva, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Annie Hall, Casablanca, The Reader, Midnight in Paris, La Femme Nikita, All Bond and Traffic.
Some books I have enjoyed include Genome, Infidel, Olive Kitterage and I am currently reading The Long Road to Freedom.
I spend a lot of time thinking about music, art, love and how wonderful things are except for that one space for a special friend that remains empty at the moment. On a typical Friday night I am going out with my kids or my friends or doing art or reading a book wth a nice glass of red wine.....

Date people from California, United States. The most important part of my life is the connections that I make with people . I have owned a gallery for the past 15 years. These days I go in to work 3 days/week with a mix of work leisure the rest of the time. I'm very comfortable by myself...infact usually one day a week I enjoy staying home...and not getting out of my sweat pants and tank top...just piddling around the garden...visiting with my flowers and cats, sitting in the hot tub with a cup of coffee. Does this sound good to you ;-)
I love my work...and it's great having a retail business and selling "cool stuff like crystals and fossils"...but the best part of my business is meeting and connecting with wonderful people. I beleive in these times...that people really are wanting to feel connected. I am awe of the amazing natural energy and beauty of the earth. I'm active; you'll find me taking a hike, kayaking in the bay or out on a tennis court. I'd like to take up Salsa dancing again get back in to Yoga...so it would be fun to meet someone that already enjoys or is interested in these things. Some of my most meaningful experiences in the past year include; the previlege of holding my mentors hand as she took her final breath, having all four of my neices and nephews (ages 4-10) for a sleep over...yes all at the same time :-) and hosting my 99 year old friend at my house for lunch on her birthday. I have become very active in volunteering in the community in the past year...including Rotary and serving on the BOD of a local charity.
I'm a kind, loving person who is looking for the good in people and the positive message in every situation.
I'm a natural leader with a nurturing, loving heart. I am lookng for a man who is strong enough in his own right to be comfortable with a smart, active, adventurious, intelligent woman. I can laugh at myself and so can you. I respect differing points of view and am inquisitive and self reflecting. Both me and my new best friend are fit, enjoy traveling to new places, trying new foods, spending time with our good friends and family. And we make it a priority to laugh every day. Life is an amazing adventure and I am on a quest to find a man that wants to cuddle, laugh, cry and experience life to it's fullest with me. We love each others company and can talk all day and all night, but also appreciate each other as individuals and our time apart. We are comfortable together even in silence... taking in all that this beautiful world has to offer. If this resonates with you let's take a chance and meet.
