Date men and women from California, United States. I'm a confident guy who is tolerant, kind and I have an exploring mind. I seek a witty adventuress with a zest for living. I'm honest and communicate well. I'm a regular guy, creative and easy going. Have survived real challenges and learned not to stress the small stuff. People always think me much younger than my years, I'm known for my positive attitude and playfulness.
I hike, dance (to most any kind of music), study philosophy, study life and create abstract art on a computer. I'm well read and articulate. I'm unusual, interesting and make friendships easily with compatible personalities. Laidback as far as wanting my own space and giving that in kind.
I like many types of people and really have no type other than that a closed minded person is definitely not my type. I am affectionate, adventurous, I have many interests, an open mind and I'm looking for a woman with similar traits.
I'm a lifelong filmfan and an appreciation of film as both entertainment and an artform is very welcome. I feel that humor is essential in life and so I try to always keep things light and uptempo.
Meet a soulmate from San Anselmo, United States. Well, the main points first - I am a lover of the arts, dogs, and great cuisine. Love to go to new restaurants and especially like ethnic cuisine. I have season tix to the SF Ballet and also love live theater, photography, and art galleries/museums. For outdoor activities I like to golf, bike, hike, and LOVE playing at the beach with my Golden Retriever, Riley. Lucky me - since I work at home, he keeps me company throughout the day. Went white river rafting not too long ago and had SO much fun!!! Also, took a performance driving course at Infinity last year. Again - had SUCH a blast!!!
Not into camping. The closest I'll get to that is a great bed and breakfast NEAR the woods. LOL!
I own a branding and design firm and LOVE what I do for a living. I have a GREAT sense of humor and am very romantic. And, if you hose me off, I clean up pretty well!
With the aid of some good genes, I have done a very good job of staying in shape. I recently changed my diet to the Paleo Diet. LOVE it and I do feel great, But I would do just about ANYTHING for a very large slice of chocolate cake!
Really enjoy traveling. Went to Italy for 3 weeks a few years ago. SUCH an amazing country!!! I plan to go back soon! France again as well. Am very passionate about NYC. Was just there for a week. Music/B'way, Central Park, art and amazing food! Can hardly wait to go back! Every time I go I have a total blast. It would be perfect if I met someone who would liked to take the occasional weekend trip!
Me: caring, loving, giving, savvy, fun, funny, a great kisser!, and someone you can totally count on. All in all, I am a very good man. :-)
As you can see, I have never been married. Let me tell you why. Actually, I have been engaged twice. Each time to a wonderful woman. In both cases it just a matter of timing. Each time our lives were not in the right place to get married. The great thing is that I am still best friends with each of these women, and I am blessed to have had them in my life. Since then I simply haven't found anyone I have fallen in love with. But, I experienced and lived it twice and I am forever a better person having known and loved those women.. The great thing for their kids is that I am a GREAT 'Uncle Steve'. The kids LOVE me!!! So do their husbands! I feel very blessed.
Here is a good example of what type of uncle I am. Each Christmas I fly to Portland (where they live) and take them and their parents to the Nutcracker. Last year I even picked up the kids in a horse-drawn carriage! To see the amazement on their faces when they walked up to the horse and petted him was magical. Then, the horse and carriage trotted us all through Portland - to brunch and to the Nutcracker! Am I a great uncle or what! :-) The best Christmas present I could ever receive is just being near them. To be surrounded by their love is a wonderful experience.
Meeting someone who has great sense of humor (I have one!) and is fun to be with would be a HUGE plus. Someone who is genuine, honest, forthright, and caring. One point that is critical - it's extremely important you love dogs! Actually, that is a must.
Regarding looks, I like the 'girl next door' type. Genuine beauty inside and out go a long way with me. Pretense and materialism are not big on my playlist. Just have a good heart, are fun to be with, and someone who has the ability to love deeply.
Also...and this is important...you need to like dark chocolate. I have tried dating women who liked milk chocolate and it just never worked out. LOL! :-)
If this sounds like you, drop me a note!
Date people from San Anselmo, United States. PLEASE NO WINKS. I WILL NOT RESPOND TO THEM.
As my Username suggests...I think I'm pretty interesting...I'm rarely bored. I have a ton of projects going on all the time and never seem to run out them. Of late, I've been actually completing many of them. I have been studying Spanish for years, although, sadly, I only seem to use it when I travel. I love to travel and am pretty darn flexible when I'm on the road. All I need is a good cuppa coffee and I'm launched. My hope is your MO is similar. My lifestyle is 'Marin Casual' I am regularly in shorts and flip flops. Clothes are really very unimportant to me. I do clean up well, but I haven't worn a tuxedo in decades.
I really enjoy many of the activies I did in my 30s..glad to do a road trip or stay up all night to greet the dawn...
I'm looking for somebody flexible and fun and REALLY NICE...like me. Someone with a good heart and integrity who always tries to do what is right...not what is expedient. If you have no interest in boats, tropical locations, and casual living we will never be a good match.Also, as you might expect, if you are driven to be out on the town every weekend, I'm probably not your guy.
If you write, I promise I will send you a response of some sort. It's only right.
Meet a man from San Anselmo, United States. I want finacial security and some laughs. I spent the first 20 years of my life as a performing classical musician/teacher.

I've not done much traveling but am starting to be open to the Idea.I have to be near the coast. I'm a vegetable gardner and chef.I'm very gregerious when in public but I spend a lot of time alone composing music, many styles.

Meet men and women from San Anselmo, United States. I guess I am very social and outgoing and being the oldest of seven have always been looked up to as the leader. Sometimes reluctantly so I take care of people and am always there for those that choose to call me their friend. I am the perfect concert date partner or dinner companian or someone to hang out with. Most people my age think I am much younger than I am and it's true. I think young.
On the professional side I work for myself selling to the scientific community. I am pretty open to most other careers in a mate.
Date someone special from California, United States. Music is both my work and my passion. I started my adult life as a hippie guitar player, then became a successful commercial songwriter in LA. I have also spent much of my life involved in a large variety of spiritual and personal growth pursuits, and have been privileged to compose music for quite a few world renowned teachers and healers in that realm. Six years ago I sold my house and studio and moved to Marin, where I've wanted to live since I first visited here at age 19. I am now reveling in the energy and the redwoods of this amazing county and looking for a loving aware feminine partner to share it with. Professionally I'm semi-retired and mentor developing songwriters in the Bay Area as well as having joyfully resumed my career as a gigging guitar player after a more than 30 year hiatus.
I'm a man's man and have a wonderful network of male friends whose company I enjoy and who support me in being the best man I can be. I'm also ready willing and able to connect deeply with the right woman. Many years of working on myself have given me well developed communication skills and the ability both to listen and to navigate complex emotional interactions. While I consider that important, the ability to laugh, play, and and enjoy life easily together is at least as important. I would love to find a beautiful and soulful feminine woman with a twinkle in her eye willing to give and take and laugh and learn and share the rest of the Dance.
Meet men and women from California, United States. I'll be off Match in a few days. I've made some terrific friends on here, who are most excellent and enduring adds to my life. I'm just looking for a different provider.
Before I go, I'd like to ask about the manners of those of you who don't respond to reach outs? Makes one wonder.
Let’s have a bit of conversation. Get to know each other. Become friends … and maybe then lovers
We can begin with tales of songs and dances, movies and plays, work and workouts, children and pets, and family and friends, but we’ll also learn each other’s thoughts about open-heartedness, mindfulness, integrity, and the importance of knowing and trusting ourselves well enough to be honest about who we are and what we’re looking for. Maybe then we’ll become lovers. Or maybe not. If we become lovers, it will be transformational, filled with music and laughter, and an expression of the truth of the equation 1 plus 1 equals 3.
A bit about me and what I’m doing …
I’ve worked and played hard all my life, and have been fortunate on many levels. My work life has been spent investigating and prosecuting economic fraudsters. I'm not a lawyer, but I work as a Judge. I work four days per week and I play the other three. I’m financially and emotionally secure.
I'm broadening and deepening my circle of friends, staying connected with my daughter, raising my 14 year old son in collaboration with his Mother, exercising, refreshing my cooking skills, eating well, entertaining at home, reading, writing, exploring back roads around the world from the seat of an iron horse, riding real horses whenever I can get my hands on a good one, working on my golf game and kayaking. I rarely watch sports on TV, and strongly prefer evenings that don’t include much TV. I listen to blues, jazz, reggae, rock, bluegrass, new grass, real country, classical and more. I love to dance. I like to catch a good movie at home in front of the fireplace or at a non-mainstream theatre, or go out on the town with friends. I'm currently making plans to ride my scoot to the San Juan Islands and back. Next I’ll explore Costa Rica, Australia, and later the Mediterranean – specifically Spain, Greece, Italy and France.
A bit about you …
Feel free to reach out to me if you're smart, physically fit, open-hearted, honest, self-aware, love to travel via all manner of modes of transportation (including by motorcycle), and understand the art of living a love where 1 plus 1 equals 3.
Date single man from California, United States. I am a very adventuresome, father of 17 year old twins, a boy and girl. They are with me now and again. My son is in boarding school and his sister didn't want the 50-50 arrangement any longer so she is at her mom's who lives close to the high school.
My adventures have taken many forms, pro athlete, race cars, scuba, skiing a lot of guy stuff that was fun which I out grew, got tired of or lost interest in but am now trying to rekindle. Skiing and white water rafting have been fun this year. Most enjoyable has been driving up the coast in my 21 year old convertible, being part of the incredible natural beauty of Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Hiking Mt. Tam, of course, never get tired of. I go to the local museums regularly and became a member at the DeYoung before it reopened. All of these would be more fun with someone else and I have been doing too many alone, which is the main reason I'm trying the Internet dating.
I have a youthful spirit, will try or do anything at a moments notice. Communication, specifically, listening is my priority and not just relating what someone has to say to my own experience but understanding how they are feeling in the moment. Not letting small problems become big ones. "not sweating the small stuff" has become a valuable view of life.
I only have to work part time for various fortunate and unfortunate reasons. I enjoy my work, I have a Ph.D. in psychology and am a neuropsychologist working in a rehab hospital treating adults and adolescents who have had strokes, brain injury or spinal cord problems.
If, you would like to see the sunset over the ocean in Mendocino or from the top of Mt. Tam please contact me.
Meet single man from San Anselmo, United States. Ladies! If you have questions about my marital status, please ask. I will be glad to share all details.
Beaches are my favorite places in the world. I love the Caribbean, Bahamas, Hawaii-- areas with bright sun, clear, azure-blue water, and warm weather--the kinds of places where you can go barefoot all day, and dressing up means putting on flip-flops, maybe a t-shirt. Speaking of dressing up, I also enjoy putting on a tuxedo or even a set of tails, and going to a fancy event.
I have studied ballroom dance for over 15 years. Also enjoy yoga, meditation, hiking, reading, travel, going out to restaurants, vegan cooking and dining, music, movies (primarily romantic comedies), and writing. I like the theater (primarily musicals), the City (SF, N.Y., Boston, Paris, London), being in the country, the mountains, lakes. I used to ski but haven't done it in a while and am starting to think maybe I would like to try it again. I follow a macrobiotic lifestyle and diet. This does not mean that I only eat brown rice and tofu, meditate, and chant (though I have done those things). I have a pretty normal life, but I do cook a lot. I go to restaurants and eat out with friends. I eat fish once in a while too. Hey, if it's good enough for Bill Clinton---! (it is the only respect, however, in which we are alike!)
For me, the important ingredients in a relationship are mutual attraction and consideration, shared interests, and shared affection and intimacy. I am looking for someone who is honest, attractive, athletic, slender, adventurous, inquisitive, loving, a great kisser, and at least interested in vegan/vegetarian cooking. Your spiritual beliefs, whatever they are, are important to you. You are happy and appreciate the gifts and adventures that life has to offer. You don't need another person to complete you but you are looking forward to finding a relationship that is more than the sum of its parts. You are a romantic and believe in magic,love, chemistry, "x-factor" or whatever it is that draws you to a stranger across a crowded room, but you have your feet on the ground and can deal with life on life's terms.
Looking for a best friend and a lover, a companion to be comfortable with in conversation or in silence, someone who has a balanced approach to life, is open with feelings, and willing to discuss things before they become problems.
Date single man from California, United States. I am a 64 year old retired man looking for a special woman to share life's adventures. Friends who know me might characterize me as one who is intelligent, perceptive, honest and direct, energetic, humble, and sensitive to others. I laugh easily and have a well developed sense of humor but I can be serious when the situation demands. I feel that I have solid communication skills and, at the same time, am a good listener. Being emotionally stable and psychologically aware are high priorities for me.
I'm financially secure, responsible, and dependable. I've had 2 careers, serving for 10 years as an Officer in the USMC and 27 years as an Officer in the SFFD. I raised my daughter as a single parent, have a close relationship with her and her husband of 12 years, and fully enjoy grandfathering their 2 sons (11yrs. and 7 yrs.). (The payoff for working is retirement and the payoff for parenting is grandfathering.)
I'm a lifelong athlete (aging jock) and currently enjoy a wide variety of sports and activities. I play doubles tennis, snowboard, hike, bike, water ski, and take Bikram yoga classes. To say I find great joy being outdoors and in the sun would be a minor understatement.. I am physically fit, alcohol and tobacco free, and in excellent health (recently had knee replacement surgery and have a new lease on life). I've coached volleyball (boys and girls) and tennis (boys) at the high school level for many years and look back at that experience as some of my most fulfilling moments.
I love animals but currently am animal free. I lean towards Buddhism as my spiritual and mindful practice after recovering from childhood Catholicism. I enjoy traveling especially quick getaway trips (2-3 days). I'm a political junkie with a decidedly liberal bend. I enjoy cooking, gardening, attending musical concerts (tickets to U2 and Sade), and love reading (last book read- Cutting For Stone).I've held tickets to the Speaker Series in Marin for 10 years and find most of the lectures fascinating. Cozy fireplace evenings and fresh cut flowers create an ideal atmosphere for me.
I'm looking for a woman who is compassionate, attractive (inside and out), physically fit, sexually responsive, intellectually engaging, emotionally stable, and spiritually evolved. I would be thrilled with someone who shares my passion for physical activity and the outdoors. I prefer a non-smoker and have no problem with a moderate drinker. I love children but would hope that yours are successfully launched. I'm interested in someone who is thoughtful and politically progressive (card carrying Republicans need not reply). An ability to laugh and to not take yourself too seriously is a plus.
Meet men and women from United States. My favorite time is spent with close friends having long, intimate and intelligent conversations , laughing at our own absurdities and supporting each other throught the trials and tribulations of life. I am most passionate about openness, honesty, self awareness, and compassion for the human experience. My friends share these values with me, thus allowing ourselves to be truly who we are with each other and without judgement.
I spend a lot of time hiking in Nature, as I live high up on the mountain with access to all of the trails on Mt. tamalpais just out of my front door without having to get into a car to reach them. I am grateful for the fact that I am in excellent health and physical condition which allows me to take advantage of all that the Bay Area has to offer.
I love music and dancing, from Dub Step to Fox trot, and have been studying Jazz Piano for about 5 years although I am not even close to being ready for prime time. A movie lover, I'd rather stream films in the comfort of my home rather than go out to the movies even if it means waiting a while to see the new films. On the other hand I love going out to listen to live music of all kinds from the classical to rock and roll, but most especially Jazz.
As a practicing psychiatrist, a Jungian Psychoanalyst specializing in long term psychotherapy rather than drug treatments, and with a deep interest in the Unconscious, I have been invited to be a consultant at several contemporary Psychedelic Music festivals both in the U.S. (Burning Man) and abroad (Boom, Portugal) helping folks through difficult "bad trips" without resort to medications.
I have travelled extensively in Europe and Asia, including several treks in the India and Nepal Himalayas. I speak French almost fluently after a few weeks in Paris, and I can get by in Italian as well. I love hiking between the hill towns of Tuscany in the Spring.
Although not religious, I practice Vipassana meditation somewhat regularly and I deeply respect Buddhist Philosophy and values.
I am looking for a committed relationship with an independant someone who shares similar values to those implied above and who wants a loyal loving and sensual partner.
