Date a soulmate from Pleasanton, United States. My son recently said to me, "Dad, go out and find your bliss and be selfish for once.". It pretty much sums up my reason for being on this online dating site. To find someone who will change my life for the better. Simply, someone I cannot live without.
My close friends and siblings describe me as intelligent, loyal, honest, considerate, sincere, generous and hard working. I'm an atypical Virgo who accepts his many imperfections and faults.
Things that I hold sacred and true are my family and closest friends. They epitomize for me the meaning of unconditional love. They are what keep me humble, grounded and give me that warm feeling inside. There is a lighthearted side to me that is silly and I've been known to act goofy and crack the occasional corny joke once in awhile. My son often chides me about my comedic delivery, but he still laughs at my jokes.
So what do I like to do?
I am pretty active and like to hike and ride a bike around San Francisco and my new hometown of Pleasanton. I'm always finding new things to explore in San Francisco. My son lives in San Francisco and I visit him as often as possible. Pleasanton's Downtown area feels like a throwback to the 1960's and I like checking out the Farmer's Market on Saturdays, and all the shops and restaurants. I want to start learning to dance again, and I want to start traveling (hopefully with that special someone).
I love photography and capturing all the moments that define our lives and I like to revisit them often. I am a car enthusiast. I play football and I am diehard 49er faithful. I like playing baseball/softball and I follow the A’s and Giants. I love playing basketball and I root for the Warriors and Sacramento Kings. I am originally from the Bay Area (Santa Clara), lived in Sacramento for 11 years, and then recently moved back to the Bay Area in March of this year.
I am a technology worshiper and working in the high-tech industry satisfies my technology fix. I love gardening and I'm trying to grow roses, lilies and orchids. I can fix most things around the house; can troubleshoot and fix computers and complex enterprise networks; and can do a pretty good job tuning up a motor.
So what am I looking for in a best friend?
Compatibility with that special someone is on my wish list and I hope to find someone with the same interests as me, and laughs at my corny jokes. :-) She also doesn't mind getting dirty when we're gardening or cleaning up the side yard. She grabs a hammer or screwdriver to help me put down a nice wooden deck in the backyard or fix the fence. In return, I don't mind carrying her bags if she's shopping. Like everyone else, I am looking for a friendship at first and then see what evolves from it. Worst case? We can be best friends. Best case? For the rest of our lives...
Meet men and women from Pleasanton, United States. My name is Marty. I am originally from Fresno, California. Born and raised. It is now 13 years and counting that I reside in the San Francisco bay area. My profession brought me here. I have been fortunate to travel international and domestic. With the military and my personal business. I am straightforward, honest, loving, caring, and family orientated. I take great pride in my health. Life is now. I take my chances and I am open minded to all cultures. Equal opportunity as we are all created equal. I am not certain how to describe a future mate or novia. I guess I will let that take care of itself.
Where I see myself in my future. I have a home in Georgia. I plan on having one on the west coast and eventually one in Spain or Colombia. Personal reasons for love of culture regarding that goal. I consider myself a true professional in all aspects of my life. I try to assist and help those less fortunate then myself. Family memebers, friends, and in general. All people. I enjoy my profession, my life, my family. Maybe time will tell if a partner changes my life forever. Thank you for your time.

Date someone special from Pleasanton, United States. OK, false start lane #4. It does not appear that the marketing plan (despite having an MBA that was not from back of an airline magazine) is working. Time to bypass the SWOT analysis and start over.
I am a tall, educated, employed, active, “young” man who has started over. I am legally separated, in all other aspects am “single” and waiting for our legal process to finalize my status. I have wonderful children and involved in their college and high school lives as they grow up and become more independent. I have family, friends and professional relationships but missing that distinctive someone to have fun, enjoy, share and grow together with.
Below are some brief basics. If my comments resonate with you or would like more details, hopefully might prompt a positive reply. Thanks for taking time to browse or read.
- tale of the tape: you should not have to worry if you wanted to wear heals with your black cocktail dress or boots with jeans. I am not slender, more of an athletic build. Think more of “did you play college ball” –vs- “didn’t I see you at the Bay to Breakers”.
- active: I like to be outdoors and want to try new activities and explore new places. Pluses for working out, biking, swimming and golf. Also open to restarting old and new activities but not running (see above). What is your list?
- enjoy: in/out, by the water -- the beach, lake, river. Hoping that like local, day and international travel (valid passport please) explore cultures, history, natural wonders or just relax. Also enjoy simple pleasures like sharing a cup of coffee over morning paper, taking the dog for a walk, a cocktail (maybe with an umbrella) at happy hour (or before) or a glass of wine by the fireplace
- interaction: I want to laugh and share and make new experiences. I want know your aspirations and hear your point of view. Also, like the idea of you constructively “challenging” me to be a better person and partner.
- any you: have confidence in yourself and be comfortable with who you are

Meet a man from Pleasanton, United States. A few things about myself -
I am a man who takes care of himself - mind, body and spirit. I like to laugh, have a dry sense of humor and try to see the humor in most situations. I have found that family and friends are the best and that really getting to know people never disappoints. I try to keep a healthy balance between work and play and try to play at work as much as possible. I am very affectionate and I like to show it. I have many interests and a few passions - all of which I want to explore with a partner.
Which brings me to her (you) -
She takes care of herself as well. She is affectionate, Intelligent, well presented with a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh. She doesn't mind showing her affection to me in public - or mine toward her. She is a good conversationalist and understands that listening means not talking. I am especially interested in finding someone who will listen when I ask her a question and tell me what she truly thinks. I value, a great deal, what she thinks plus, it helps me, helps me know her and her know me. Not too confusing . . . . .
Date people from Pleasanton, United States. Those who know me consider me to be a warm, intelligent, informed, and funny man, full of thoughts both introspective and about the world I live in. I continually strive to be a great dad, a top-notch friend, and a difference maker in my career. I thought I was a great husband too, but I guess my ex disagreed :-)
Though I've had my share of challenges and setbacks (who hasn't?) I feel mostly grateful and blessed. I have a strong family life, so spending quality time with my kids as they transition into adults gives me tremendous joy. I'm grateful that my parents are still around and that they have an incredible apartment in NYC, place of my birth and childhood. I enjoy visiting whenever possible and love being there, but enjoy coming back to CA even more. I love the culture, the food, the vibe... (not the traffic)
I am grateful that I've been able to make a nice living, support my family, and have discretionary time to pursue hobbies, interests, and personal growth beyond just surviving; something that most people on the planet can't even dream of. What I enjoy most is spending time with the people I love. Whether it's watching a ballgame, playing tennis, wine tasting, dining out, a good movie or play, a dinner party with friends, an art and culture-centric weekend in San Francisco, an entertaining read, a hike in the woods, or volunteering at a soup kitchen, There's so much to do! I love spending quality time and having fun with the people that are most dear to me. I also enjoy a bit of solitude and like to take time for myself, usually by working out or meditating.
I've earned my living working in software development and am also a business owner in Healdsburg. I like my work just fine, but it just so happens I prefer play dates.
I like discussing politics, philosophy, art, music, movies, books, zeitgeist, and God (or lack thereof ??) I like the idea of Salsa dancing etc..., but lord knows, I need some help in that area (I might not be hopeless, but possibly close). Besides physical chemistry, which just has to be there in order to get anywhere in a relationship, what really turns me on is a woman who is super-smart, informed, experienced, intuitive, and wise. Kitchen wizardry and knowing where the couch belongs are core competencies that I desire, but don't take for granted in a woman. Sitting on the sofa and watching TV, reading together, or looking into your eyes and telling you that you're gorgeous while playing a board game or cards are fine non-activities too -- downtime is important. I like and know how to please and be pleased, and I handle myself just fine in the kitchen and have an honorary PhD in grilling (self-awarded, but defensible)
I'm looking for a girlfriend. I don't want to get married again right away, but I don't relish the thought of going out on 100 blind dates to find one. I want to find a woman that cracks me up and that I can be myself with (I hate walking on eggshells). We have to 'get' each other. I'm ok if you have kids or if you don't. I have my own and I'm not trading them in until their lease expires.
You don't get without giving, so I'm just asking you to meet me half way. You are sweet, sexy, smart, funny, kind, playful, a little naughty, and not so darn intense all the time. As for me, here's what I bring to the table.... Financial stability, good judgement, (occasionally very funny) jokes, handsome and rugged (according to some women), loyal to a fault, a good sport when it comes to missing a football game because you need a day at the spa together, and willingness and desire for new adventures in places near and far. I will be your friend and confidant when you need a friend and I will back off when you don't. just let me know, because my species is mostly a half-step behind yours
If you've made it this far and think we might share enough in common, have a chance at some chemistry, and you would like to meet me then I probably would like to meet you too
Meet single man from Pleasanton, United States. I am looking for someone who enjoys their life as much as I do. I enjoy companionship and sharing life's journey. I am new to the Bay area having lived in Oregon for the past 20 years. I was raised in California and missed California's culture and that sunny weather. It feels good to be back.
I am physically active and enjoy working out (running, weights, physical work). I live a healthy life and appreciate a woman who shares my values of staying healthy.
Family is very important to me. I have a large loving family and we get together often and have some great times together. It doesn't matter how many times I hear my brothers and sister tell the same old childhood stories, I still laugh and think their funny. Everyone in my family always has a smile on their face when we get together.
I am looking for a woman who is confident and who has carved out a life for herself. I want to add my happiness to an already happy person. I do not need a woman to make me whole. I want a companion to share my own happiness with. I want someone who I have that magical "chemistry" with as well.
Date someone special from United States. It's hard to describe in a few short words my total person, essence or being. I could sit here with a dictionary, thesaurus and google, but honestly it depends on the day, the company, the environment as to how I would descibe me. I'm fun, independant and spontaneous, but I also like planning ahead, quiet times and walking down the street holding the hand of someone really special to me.

I believe two people need to have some differences to enhance one another.There are so many ways for people to balance and compliment each other.
