Date people from United States. Fun, interesting, involved guy that enjoys a wide range of activities - from sports to the arts. I work in web technology but i don't like to spend the weekend in front of a computer. I like to get out and take walks or go for a bike ride. For a guy, I like to shop a fair amount. I'm looking for someone spontaneous that enjoys their career that is looking to meet a compatible person.
Meet a soulmate from United States. ... I dearly miss competing in open-water swimming.
... Am I the only one who likes ice cream after sushi?
... If you don't give more than you get, the relationship is doomed.
... My niece and nephew are cuter than yours.
... Women who turn me down for a date 'with class', is an attractive quality.
... I actually like San Francisco weather. The clouds are beautiful, the warm sun is exhilarating, the rain is tranquil, the fog is mysterious, the mist is refreshing, BUT ... that San Francisco wind really "blows"!
... Don't like beer, enjoy wine - But because I'm Polish, vodka runs in my blood.
... Quality over Quantity, always;
... My vice is TV - Its addicting, so I don't subscribe to any service. Would love to snuggle and watch with that special someone - But you have to have the balls here and turn that damn thing off for me.
... I love looking at traditional SF architecture. Every street angle of the same building is amazing.
... Has life punched you in the gut yet? For me, that is the magic qualifier. It suggests you may be humble.
... Everything in moderation - well, almost everything.
... Tango, Hustle, Salsa... in that order.
... Morning coffee on my roof reminds me why this city is so awesome.
... How awesome that the original Swensons is in SF, and a few blocks from my home.
... Didn't have sex until I was 21. What can I say, I was a late bloomer.
... Play Sherholtz! Extra credit if you know what that means.
... Don't stress, that scar on your leg is sexy. It means you've lived - and I want to here the story.
... Want kids, just waiting for that right gal to come around, otherwise I'm fine being "fun uncle".
... I make omelets that will blow you pink slippers off.
... I probably like fore-play more than you.
... Love the first breath of North Tahoe air in the winter.
... Communication is more about choices, than quantity of words.
.. Good champagne at night under the stars/moon ... Who knew?
... Yes! I am really cheesy sometimes. And proud of it.
... Dorky too.
... I like shopping for amber jewelry even if I don't have a recipient in mind.
... Favorite iPhone Aps: Risk (game), PBS (streaming documentaries), Wunder (radio), NextBus (transportation),
... This might be easier if we all just listed things we DON'T like, and qualities we DON'T possess. I'll start:
... Women's finger/toe nails painted with little pictures/designs is tacky/gaudy.
... I find 30's, 40's and WWII fascinating.
…The day my shoulder is strong enough to compete in open-water swimming again, I’ll buy the whole damn city a drink!
... Love to veg at a bar to watch G's baseball or 9'ers football, but I'm not a sports maniac. You'll have an easy time getting me to go wine tasting in Napa with you and your spring dress.
... I survived a nasty sky diving accident.
... I always air dry my laundry
... I am as much interested in meeting new people, making new friends and extending my network than exclusively dating.
... Just turned 40, Oy! Celebrate with me?!
One last note: I'm learning that a vast majority of women never reply, even after what I think is thoughtful overture, (I may need to look into outsourcing my profile or getting a weave). So, moving forward, please don't misinterpret my short emails or my reluctant usage of winks - I'm just trying to see if anyone is home. Time is precious and I rather spend it with those who are interested in grabbing a glass of wine somewhere.
Conversely, if your interested, don't be bashful to say Hi. I promise to respond to everyone within a couple of days even if I don't feel there is a match. All the best and good luck in your search.
xoxo

Date single man from United States. This question - asked so often - suggests that there is actually a plausible answer. Almost as if our being were a fixed thing. People who ask this sort of question are typically struggling with their identity and are searching for a core sense of themselves. The irony is that the more you seek to identify who you are, the more fragile you are likely to feel about yourself. There may be an inverse correlation between the question being asked and the ease with which you experience your life. The emphasis shouldn't be on discovering who you are (what is buried beneath) but on facilitating the emergence of what you'd like to experience.
Meet a man from United States. First let me underwhelm you. I don’t have my own cooking show on The Food Network, I only like walks on the beach occasionally and I probably won’t make you a poem-filled scrapbook or mixed tape after our first date. Hopefully these imperfections haven’t chased you away….
Now the good. I like to laugh… a lot. And I’m not afraid to get involved in a dance off, or rock a costume for no real reason. Love seeing and hearing the absurd. Try me. That said I am someone who thrives on real communication. I believe patience and loyalty are important virtues. Honesty and partnership invaluable. I don’t like flakes and cherish my friendships and family.
I’m serious about my career, but not necessarily about myself and a total sucker for a witty, smart-ass. The way other cultures live fascinates me...I could people watch for hours. Art is a passion and seeing the world is a priority. I feel best when I'm outside and enjoy life most when I’m sharing experience (or a drink).
I'd love to meet a woman who is comfortable at the Laker game, but looks sexy in a little black dress. A woman that loves to exercise or maybe hike Tennessee Valley, but not afraid to spend Sunday in bed. Someone whose intelligence is apparent in the bitingly sarcastic jokes she tells and the little notes she leaves on my pillow.
Having fun should be part of the routine. And somebody who really wants to explore is incredibly important, whether traveling to Paris or trying out the latest dinner spot. Move from an adult beverage at the Owl Tree to dinner at Wayfare. In the end I'm looking for someone who wants to be in it. If this sounds like you, please bring it.
Date someone special from United States. I'm a modern city guy made up of old fashioned values with a love of the outdoors and a passion for fitness and music. Though I don't actually play an instrument, I can definitely bring it at a karaoke bar! As to whether anyone else is enjoying that singing...is a bit subjective.
I tend to remember that old saying from Marilyn Monroe.."If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything”, but don't worry, I won't try to make you laugh to risk life and limb, just to try something new and fun, and if you can appreciate a man with a witty, sharp and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor, I definitely could fit that bill.
I recently turned a young 40, and I've reached a point in life that I've got a very clear view of who I am and what it is that I want both professionally and personally.
If you're the type of woman that enjoys taking in the outdoors, stays active and fit first and foremost for herself, is open to indulging in quality cuddle time on a rainy Sunday morning, would love to partake of romantic dinners (home cooked or out on the town) enjoys seeing live music at an arena or a small club and feels equally comfortable with either throwing on a baseball cap and heading out to giants game or dressing up to hit the town and dance the night away...I'd very much like to hear from you.
Meet men and women from United States. Funny, honest, caring--if I had to best describe myself, in only three words. I live and work in San Francisco, the city that I love most. I work quite a bit, so I don't really have much time for myself. When I do have time, aside from working out, I like to run, bike and golf. Basically, I like anything that involves being outdoors and if something seems fun and exciting, I'll give it a go at least once...and I guess that would include online dating.
As far as my match, she should also be funny, honest and caring and enjoy some of the same things as me. That's really not too much to ask for, is it?
First and foremost, I am here to meet someone to start a new friendship, which perhaps will lead to something more. We shall see....
Date people from San Francisco, United States. I grew up on the West Coast and have a laid back attitude but I don't mind taking charge when people are sitting around wondering what to do. I am equally comfortable under the spotlight or hanging by the sidelines people watching and having a good conversation. I enjoy having a great sense of humor and there is nothing like having a good laugh, even if its at my own expense. I look young for my age, feel young young at heart and like to keep things lighthearted, but I still handle all of those pesky adult responsibilities like a pro.
Having a healthy body and healthy mind is important to me. I enjoy running, golf, yoga and working out, but sometimes let the diet slip to enjoy the great restaurants we have around. Trying new things is always up my alley... wanna see synchronized swimming, roller derby or a monster truck rally? Let's do it! I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to visit a lot of different countries. While I enjoy taking a long vacations and weekend getaways, I also find happiness just running around the city and finding new places to explore.
I am an IT Manager for PR company which I love, plus I am the company Safety Captain so I have that going for me.
Being able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life is important, like the smell when it first rains after being dry for a long time or giving someone a super big hug when you know they really need it.
I am looking for that perfect mixture of chemistry and friendship, hit me up if you think we might be a match.
Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. I am most interested in creating, engaging in and discovering meaningful things in life. I'm playful, I thrive on good communication and good relationships. And personal/psychological/spiritual growth and development are important to me. I've spent a decent amount of energy and investment getting to know who I am and think I'm pretty good at it now. :) I am looking for someone who shares similar interests in some way and who also loves to be playful, fun, & share a good laugh...often. Relationships and communication come naturally for me, even if at times they're challenging or challenge me. I want to be challenged and to explore the unfamiliar as well as enjoy the known and comfortable.
I've been absorbed with school for the last 2 or 3 years, but just completed grad school and am loving my new career. I love films, appreciate art and am crazy about wine...well, maybe not crazy, but totally dig a glass of a luscious new (to me) grape over great conversation. I'm pretty physically active, enjoy the Bay Area outdoors, work out/swim regularly and, of course, I give a damn good massage (professionally, of course) :)!
I love laughter, connecting with people in my life, adventurousness, open-mindedness, thoughtfulness and an appreciation for the complexity of life and all its shades and colors. And Im interested in someone who appreciates these and similar values.
I also enjoy: getting out of the city, sunshine and warm spots, a fun new dining spot, wine and good conversation and new and spontaneous experiences; chilling out and reading (on my own and with someone special), taking fun trips (nearby or abroad) (currently planning trips to Mexico and Africa) and cooking dinner at home with friends or just together. I appreciate a balance of personal time and time shared with someone special.
I'm looking for someone I feel chemistry with, have fun with, and can share great conversation with...and see where it goes.
I'd love share coffee or a glass of wine and find out about you. :)
Date single man from San Francisco, United States. california born and raised now going on 16 years in sf and i still love it. i love the diveristy, character and beauty. i love how things that would be considered outlandish in other cities are even celebrated here.
i find common ground easily and have been compared to ferris beuller (the sportos, motorheads, geeks, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, they think i'm a righteous dude). i like to sing in my car, in the shower and while walkin down the street. i like verbal sparring, humorous chatter and a little trash talkin (all in jest of course). shy is not frequently used when describing me as i am usually the one to initiate conversation. i laugh at myself easliy when i do stupid things. i am a (sweet) smart a**. slapstick and sarcastic, my sense of humor runs a fine line between intellectual and sophomoric ( i am a daily show / comedy central junkie). while i am pretty mellow in general, i am also quite ambitious and am always wanting to get better with whatever it is i am doing. i am competitive but not a prick about it. i am a good communicator and i can always find a way to articulate what i mean. however, i know that being a good communicator also means being a good listener.
i work in software sales for a great company. though if i could pick up and be a travel photographer, i would. i have been fortunate enough to visit many places and the list of places i wanna go is long and includes destinations both near and far.
grew up surfing in san diego and yet i have been playing hockey for twenty years. the speed, the finesse, the fluidity, the physicality, the beauty... i daydream about shots, saves, hits and passes.
music is a huge part of my life because it can enhance or even envoke any mood. i am always listening to music (much of the time just in my head). "disco stu likes disco music" but also reggae, punk, hip hop, bluegrass, jazz, blues, soul, I like it all minus country bs, top 40 or commerical rap. i can belt out most 90's hip hop albums (much to the shigrin of my friends). i am an endless fountain of movie, tv, quotes and song lyrics.
when i was 19 i worked in mexico as a fork lift operator in a warehouse. the americans called me "the dork on the fork". given there is no spanish word for dork, it loosely translated to "el idiota en la horquilla".
i am lucky to have the family i do. my mom is a walking thesaurus. i got my love of words and banter from her. i inherited my dad's athleticism and physical prowess. all of my grandparents are still alive and that is one of the greatest blessings i can think of. my grandmother is 85 and still wears her "Still sexy at 70" t-shirt and once before a doctor visit told a friend and i she was "goin to get her titties checked". i have 3 siblings and my nieces and nephews are the best and of course they think i am king (as uncle, i am a walking / talking jungle gym).
as for my match, my lady, my queen, my foxy momma, smart & sweet, that's the best. and unique. there are way too many clones out there. be you and just you. i have to be with a girl that gets my mental motor revving and can challenge me. i like strong, smart, independent women but please, with humor and soft side. i am a serious flirt and sooo enjoy being playful. affectionate and silly are all good with me.
i’ve been in a few real relationships to know what i want and what i don't (too many out there are fulla s***, fulla themselves or just plain scared of their own shadow) i've done the dating thing and while it can be fun, it would be nice to meet a great girl who is available, aware, open and ready. ready to share, learn from one another and knows what she wants and who understands that solid and lasting relationships are based on communication and compromise.
thanks for reading and if you're so inclined, give that there "email him" button a click and put a smile on my face : )
Meet a man from San Francisco, United States. So, what can I say about me? Here's a few random tidbits. I'm fun, but also serious. I smile a lot and am a bit goofy. I'm a bit vein. I'm easy going, but can be picky about certain things. I enjoy warm weather over cold weather and would prefer being hot rather than cold. I'd rather wear fewer clothes than more clothes. I prefer casual attire. I like fresh, clean smells. I like smooth, soft skin. I appreciate sleep more than I like to admit. I enjoy smaller groups over larger crowds. I'd prefer taking a holiday vacation any other time than the actual holiday. I'd prefer being outdoors rather than indoors. I enjoy a variety of activities and places, and tend to satisfy this through moderate travel. I like being early rather than late, but prefer not being in a rush. I enjoy good conversation, good food and good atmosphere.
I've lived in San Francisco for about 7 years and like the city, although I need to balance it with trips to more serene places occasionally. I'm definitely a West Coast guy and enjoy the sun, beaches, mountains, snow and all that the West has to offer. I have fun outdoors sailing, snowboarding, cycling and mountain biking. I also like spending time indoors watching movies and sports, eating in or out, and attending concerts and plays.
I'm trying Match again to see who I might meet. It would be great to meet someone who's at the same place in life as me, is fun, enjoys outdoor summer and winter activities, likes good conversation and good food, has a focus on goals, and fitness and health is important.
Send me a message and tell me a bit about you!
Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. I moved out to SF from NYC almost 5 years ago. I never thought I'd be here more than a couple of years, but here I still am 5 years on. (erm, I mean SF not match). Still adjusting to the leftcoast, but I am blown away by how beautiful it is. The Bay Area has such and amazing landscape- I am enjoying exploring it. I usually get out of town every other weekend to ski, hike, cycle, or play/lounge by some body of water. I guess I am generally very laid-back, but ambitious and always up for some crazy adventure.
I'm looking for that shared sensibility or magical spark that can't be defined by a check list of attributes. Some of my best friends and greatest connections have been with people from very diverse backgrounds and with different interests to mine. So, maybe it works out, we become friends and perhaps more... Who knows?
Meet men and women from San Francisco, United States. In a nutshell, I love having a balance between a set of awesome friends, wonderful family, rewarding but demanding career, and great health. I workout a few days a week, or get away to go snowboarding, play Tennis, or Volleyball.
I'm usually out trying new places all over the bay area and way beyond. My close friends are a reflection of the diversity here, they're from all over the U.S. and world. My nature is to explore, meet people, learn about languages, culture, music, food! I've traveled all over the world, and still have places I would like to go. Argentina (Malbec wines, Salsa, Tango!), New Zealand (outdoor mecca), and North Africa (I hear Giraffes don't get ulcers!).
