Meet a man from California, United States. It's been nearly 4 years since I retired from a 30-year career as a computer programmer for UC Berkeley. Let me tell you, Eternity Leave suits me fine: I do the work I want to do (always for fun, not money) and then I play shamelessly! Retirement is the next best thing to Enlightenment. Without my old colleagues and clients, however, the natural flow of humanity through my life has greatly diminished. This proves unfortunate when I find myself in search of a lover and mate, as I am now. Hence I present myself to you.
I seek a monogamous relationship with a lady who hopefully shares at least some of my passions. That shouldn't be too difficult, since I'm passionate about almost everything. I'm a total nature freak, and there's nothing I love more than a day hiking in the mountains or exploring the crags and cliffs of the Northern California coast. I love animals of all kinds, but I have perhaps an even greater affinity with trees and plants. Mineral crystals have always held a particular fascination for me, and I have a rather interesting crystal collection. Yes, I'm a science nerd, but it could be worse: I studied music from an early age and consequently (and mercifully) developed a deep love for the arts. I'm especially fond of painting and sculpture and can spend hours scouring museums and galleries for the beautiful and the playful. As a musician, I'm playing mostly the Romantic literature (e.g. Chopin and Brahms) on the piano these days, and traditional Celtic tunes on my hammer dulcimer. I love to listen to almost anything, however: please turn me on to some sounds I've never heard!
My favorite sound, I must say, is silence. I have practiced meditation since the age of 19. Although my spiritual practice is rooted in Hindu and Buddhist tradition, I'm not inclined to believe anything if I can help it. Kindness to all creatures is perhaps the best part of my creed.
In relationship I am gentle, warm and affectionate. I am easy-going and easy to please -- and totally not a control freak. I love to hold hands and walk with a loved one along sunset sands. I long to cuddle and chat and explore the deep places of the heart. I want to share dreams and adventures and candle-light dinners. And I hope to build a future with a lady who can be both my lover and my best friend.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am a musician, and through music I have developed a deep appreciation of culture and the arts. I love classical music, literature, painting and sculpture, poetry, theater, dance, jazz, also hiking, nature, mathematics, food, and international travel. I compose music, so I am very interested in aesthetic questions, an in the nature of creativity. I think of myself as caring and thoughtful, humorous and smart, sometimes silly, an independent thinker whose path has not been exactly straight and narrow. I have been fortunate to be in a profession that has given me great flexibility to pursue my interests. I have lived overseas more than once, which I have found to be an incredibly enriching experience. I am seeking an attractive, adventurous, imaginative, loving, left-leaning, emotionally centered woman to share a life together.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I like to study life, I am a biologist but best
of all I love BEING alive! And...now that this fact has been expressed, what
else is there?
Well, there is a lot more, of course. Laughter, curiosity, learning, loyalty,
moral values, ethics, and love of family all embraced by an umbrella of honesty;
these qualities are not just trivial words written to inveigh respect. I
believe they generate
long lasting intimate relationships. I believe that finding someone who
possesses these qualities is the "treasure" I seek.
To describe oneself is ...difficult. I have
a positive attitude! I don't take myself seriously and readily admit to my many
mistakes. I'm outgoing and friendly. I have many wonderful friends and
therefore feel very "wealthy" indeed!
I love an adventure! I love to travel, hike, swim, experience different
cultures and discover what is around the next bend. I have "cruised" to Costa
Rica on a 36' ketch. I loved the cruising life, the self-reliance, the
heightened awareness of one's senses to changes in nature. When it became too
hot, I sometimes dived over the side for a quick swim....until I discovered that
there were sea snakes around! Two of the most beautiful experiences of my life
occurred on that boat
My first experience occurred in the Sea of Cortez when the boat sailed through a
herd of sperm whale cows with their calves.
When they exhaled I could smell their fishy breaths. They tilted
their bodies to look up at the boat or spy hopped! They were slow, relaxed...it
was a spiritual experience and it lasted for a whole half of an hour.
And then, off the coast of Costa Rica, at 3:00 AM I was on "watch" in the boat.
Thunder storms were brewing and the moonless night was pitch black except for
the running light and the stars peeking through the dark rising cumulous clouds.
Suddenly the ocean became lit up from below in great polka dots all around the
boat. It had sailed right through a "bait boil" and larger predators from below
were coming up to snatch the bait. Bioluminescence due to all the activity cast
great glowing green circles of light. To top off the sight came the sound of
dolphins exhaling as they plunged into the frenzy. Their graceful splashes and
exhalations put the final note on a "Fantasia-like" experience.
I also love theater and have discovered just lately that I enjoy opera...who
would have guessed that? I love all types of travel. This last summer I went
to St. Petersburg, Russia. I've been to Europe three times. I also love to camp
and do just about anything that involves learning something new. I have spent
so much of my time learning about the sciences that I don't feel that the
liberal arts have received their fair share. I'm trying to rectify that!
I
Both of my sons have been on their own for many years. They are the light of my
life and I am oh, so proud of both of them! They are both computer engineers.
I don't have grandchildren but wouldn't mind being a grandma. And....no....I
wouldn't actually say that to them because I just don't believe in pressuring
one's children to make such a HUGE decision. Its really none of my business!
One of my main passions has been teaching! I love my students...well 99.99% of
them. I am currently teaching at the high school level and still enjoy it.
I would like to do some field biology in the future. That sounds so interesting
to me. But then, so many things sound interesting to me that I'm wide open to
new experiences! A sense of humor and the ability to be flexible, to achieve
intimacy, and be a partner can lead to ...true love. Ahhhh! The treasure is
out there for those of us lucky enough to find it!
Date someone special from United States. Looking forward to starting the next step in my life. Getting ready for retirement next year and have plans to travel, design and create jewelry again and become more creative with my photography. Presently work as a medical social worker and enjoy helping people when they really need help and helping them do what they need to do for their elderly family members.
Consider myself a compassionate, caring, artistic and loving person. Seeking new adventures to include being freer and open to sensuality and sexuality. Seeking a partner to have fun with also by traveling to favorite places together, enjoying political discussions, movies, dinner, interests and a great friendship and hopefully more.
Grew up on the East Coast and drove across country in 1971. Have a masters degree in social work and an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). Jewish with Buddhist leanings. Believe in being good to people and caring for the planet. Will add more to my description at a later time.
Meet people from United States. I am kind and friendly and looking for reciprocity in a relationship.. Patience is my virtue but on the other hand I have much to learn about compromise. I'll know you when I see you and I hope you will recognize me too.
Date a woman from United States. My friends and family consider me a good person.
Here's a motto I would like to live up to:
Live life as fully as you can, laugh heartily and often, and take care of the people you love.
Geez - with this much space - you could almost write a book. I think I'll just say that it would be nice to meet each other, develop a friendship and see where things move from there.
Meet men and women from United States. Ok, so if I really had a choice, I'd get someone like Paula Poundstone to do this for me - just so I could get you laughing. Or maybe get Sonny Rollins to riff on his sax or one of my friends to solo on her congas. Or maybe I'd just make you a little artistic something and see if you would like that instead. But really I'd like to know what you are interested in, if you have a social conscience, if you're sincere, honest and fun - all that and if you like dogs and looking at the moon.
Date a soulmate from Richmond, United States. I was once asked why I was on this earth and the answer came "pleasure of the senses". I am happiest and the best me when all my senses are stimulated. Every day should be a day of good tastes, sounds, smells, surroundings and sensations from a simple morning walk to a romantic encounter.
I am semi-retired, but go to Europe or Japan 3 times a year to do therapy with soldiers, Marines and their families. Although I am a lifetime peacenik, I find working with soldiers on bases fascinating. I also am trying to figure out by being with the soldiers why we seem to love war.
After a career of helping others discover their creativity through art as an art therapist, I am focusing more on my own art. Interested in design, fabric, found objects (have to do something with all the flotsum I have picked up at the beach near my house)
Looking for a man who is romantic, funny and surprising (and who smells "right" ....that old chemistry thing). Someone who has a sense of adventure and curiosity and is spontaneous and not a couch potato. He says, " let's go try this or that...... I know a great musician who is in town....let's go hear him or that movie or gallery sounds intriging, let's go. Or, let's just hang at home and watch tv (films) in front of the fire." I like a man who can be quiet and peaceful as well.
I like to cook and would like someone who enjoys my cooking for him and occasionally cooks for me! Someone happy in their own skin and who likes mine. I have always liked men who could fix things and make things. Working side by side or in the same house on projects ( individual or house projects) is a favorite occupation of mine. Followed by a meal together makes a happy day.
I am always surprised that I am the age I am. I sometimes worry about the effects of aging, but am content in my own skin. I still feel young, attractive, sexy, full of adventure and happy with my life. I still want to have fun, romance, travel, a spiritual life and surprises. Will you be my new surprise?
