Date someone special from California, United States. Ahhh... Match and dating... a few brief words about me:
I was in a very long term relationship, which ended very amicably a couple of years ago. I have 2 amazing munchkins (kids), girl and boy, that I adore. On the work front, I am a pretty busy dude in the high-tech space, which requires a lot of travel world-wide and brings with it too many meetings and email. I enjoy it a lot, nonetheless - all good.
I'll ramble now on interests, oddities, favorite things, etc. - enjoy motorcycling and grew up with them, ride a long-board skateboard, miss my dog now in doggy heaven, love to dance to mostly techno, like to wear a suit yet prefer a tshirt and shorts/jeans, spinach is my thing (veggie guy), played football in college (but not a dumb jock), have a couple of small tattoos, play some open-back banjo, have a crush on El Greco, Janeane Garofalo, e.e. cummings, Bjork, Francesca Woodman, pema chodron and Digweed/DeadMau5/Magda/Tenaglia/Kalkbrenner, will play just about any sport or outside activity, enjoy a good whiskey, love bikram...
What am I looking for? Someone who's crazy smart, humble, snort laugh funny, fearless, quirky and gorgeous mostly inside and outside doesn't hurt either :). I'd really like to meet that some one and hang out.
That's it!
Meet single man from California, United States. MANDATORY.. feels like a test..
I'm conflicted about this whole online dating thing; how much can you really tell about someone from a few words?
A bit about me here i guess: work et al- building / opening an running small businesses, getting back into a bit of real estate; my schedule changes a lot and i take advantage of it whenever i can. The plan is to play more than work sometime soon. With my time off i try and get out of the city often and add balance to my life. Wake or snowboarding, road or mountain biking, paragliding, camping- all the usual stuff someone with an inkling of adventure would do. I’m not laird hamilton but i do all right.
I keep my cards close (don't we all?) but have learned how important communication is in any relationship and am looking forward to sharing, living and learning with someone special. Sharing my life with someone has always been important to me. Of course the values most of us probably would like to see in someone- kindness, trust, generosity, honesty-would be a good starting point.
i have a small family (mom and brother-sister) and try to spend time with them as well- and spoil my nephew as much as possible.
I have more to do as far as business and those types of goals- learning with every project I undertake. I enjoy many aspects of what I do and am grateful for it.
I've learned keeping the excitement and spontaneity in a relationship is important- trust is hard to come by as is a best friend. I would do anything for someone who is deserving of it, and hope i can find the same.

Sometimes I like to bark at dogs when they go by in a car. Sometimes they bark back. Their owners hate that.
If you have a dog I might steal him
I enjoy intimacy and want a close relationship.
I have a degree in Environmental Studies and I use to be a Park Ranger
I am looking for a sweet person and someone to laugh at the goofy stuff we do.
I really want to travel the world. I don't think I would match up well with someone that is not interested in seeing this beautiful planet.
I feel I'm a pretty healthy mix of a strong man with a compassionate side.
I think fun comes from who you are with rather than what you are doing.
I am laid back.
I have been told I am very present, genuine and real.
Recently I was chilling with the Achuar people in the Amazon. The Achuar are cool because they were not "discovered" until the 1970's so they are very much an intact culture and undisturbed throughout time living naturally off the earth.
I got to learn their spiritual teachings, learn about medicinal plants, fish for piranha with fishing poles made from leaves and sticks, made blow guns out of bamboo and darts from a poisonous frogs back.
It was all fun and games until I accidentally shot the chief with the blow gun (not recommended). It was one of those "That did not just happen" moments.
The animals in the Amazon were amazing too. The most biodiversity of any place on earth! I swam with fresh water pink dolphins.
I'm convinced I was a pug in my past life.
I'm allergic to allergy medicine.
I have a knack for picking the best pets ever.
You can count on me. I am a pretty solid guy.
I recently did a week of raw food. Now I eat one meal a day that is raw.

I never really smoked crack.
People have told me that my face is a trusting one.
This week I hiked Mt Diablo. I also saw three healthy coyote.
A couple years ago I did a 4-day silent retreat.
It was really quiet.
I speak Spanish fluently.
Have you ever heard of the 5 love languages? It’s a book that says each person likes to receive and show love in different ways. So if you like to show your love in the same way that you partner likes to receive it then you are naturally compatible.
I was in the Business Journals "40 Under 40" (40 People to Watch Under 40 Years old) and their "Who's Who" in Silicon Valley.
I have been the team captain of almost every sport I played. I am also the president of my company and the oldest of 3 boys. If you trust me I can lead us into an amazing life.
I get pretty jazzed about eastern philosophies
I can’t stay mad for long because it cracks me up and I will have to make fun of it. If you get mad I might laugh.
That might make you mad or chase me around the house.
I think strip clubs suck and farmers markets rule.
I saved a guy's life last year.
I like any and all water or snow sports.
The couple that plays together stays together
I was off of the main trail in a rain forest one time kicking back by a tree that had a monkey in it. Tourists walked by on the main trail and did not see me or the monkey. The monkey threw a piece of fruit and hit the tourist on the head. They turned and saw me and thought I did it. They were not happy and didn't believe me when I blamed the monkey. The monkey looked all innocent. Bad monkey.
If we date I promise to make an effort to get to know you and I will make time for you in my busy schedule. Commitment breeds commitment.
I am in a great place in my life, confident in who I am, what I have achieved and what the future has in store.
Meet people from California, United States. I love my life: wonderful family, true friends, San Francisco, frequent travel, and I work at the best not-for-profit company in the world. I believe in bringing excellence to everything I get involved with. I also value honesty and truth in any relationship, and I look for the same in a partner. If you are looking for someone fun but mature, adventurous but stable, kind, gentle and loving -- I'm quite possibly the guy for you. I'm quite dependable and caring, though playful and occasionally sarcastic.
I'd love to meet someone smart who likes to dance. Someone who has goals in life and is actively reaching them. A positive person who is comfortable in her own skin, and isn't afraid to take risks to better her life. A girl who laughs a little too often.
I'm equally comfortable in jeans and a hoodie, or a tailored shirt. I love going to concerts, shows, festivals, flea markets, libraries, bookstores, and foodie spots. When I travel abroad, my favorite thing to do is shop for groceries where the food signs aren't translated. When I'm in my city, I like to discover places off the beaten path.
I'm not sure if I'll find "the one" here, but I'd sure like to see if that's you. Drop me a line and let's go out!

Meet single man from San Francisco, United States. So, about me: I’ve been in the Bay Area for about 11 years, and am originally from San Diego. I’ve lived all along the West Coast (SD, LA, SF, and Seattle) but really can’t think of a better place to have finally settled down. I fell in love with this city from the first visit and it’s a great home base; now I want to go see the rest of the world so travel is high on the priority list.
I like to be in, and outside. I like to exercise and live a healthy life; this might be my one, last addiction. I like to go out with friends to enjoy dinner and drinks, but I also like to stay home, cook and watch movies. I like to stay up late, but I also like to get up early. I like contradictions and complicated people (in a good way). I’m a total city guy who loves getting outside of the city. I enjoy making new memories, and new friends.
I finally decided to give online dating a chance since I’ve found it difficult to meet new people these days. I’ve got a great group of friends and a fulfilling social life (personal and professional)…but it’s just missing that meaningful relationship that has been so elusive to me. I’m totally over the bar/club scene and I want to meet new people outside my circle of friends. To be completely honest, I don’t have very high expectations for finding that someone online but what the hell, there are too many success stories to not give it a chance.
I’ve always found it tough to describe my type, or who I’m looking for, because I really don’t have one. I’m attracted to individuals, and my past relationships are all very different from each other. I guess someone who leads a similar lifestyle in terms of health and fitness. Someone who is funny, sarcastic even; smart; creative; caring; cultured; good natured; independent; well read; loves music and laughing; edgy; passionate; social and comfortable around people, but maybe a dork inside (like me)…the list could go on but I’ll save some of the mystery to an actual conversation! It’d be great to just meet some cool, new friends and then see where things go from there…
Date a man from San Francisco, United States. My friends have described me as passionate, non-judgmental, a great listener, adaptable, inquisitive with a lot of energy and good intuition. I know this after subjecting a few to an adjective exercise and in return, soaked them with a bottle of Cakebread cabernet. Adding to that list, Im adventurous, fun, vibrant, very open-minded with a few exceptions – I have little time for abrasive, petty situations or unnecessary anger. Im inspired by people who venture out of their comfort zone.
Also, tend to be extroverted, physically, emotionally, intellectually demanding of myself but do know when to chill and go with the flow. My most cherished times have been with family and friends here and abroad, 4 nieces/nephews ages 10-19yo, beach/nature/ocean outings, wildlife/whale watching, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, rehabilitating endangered species habitats in CA, snow escapes, spiritual and a few psychedelic journeys.
Ive been in the SF/Bay Area since 1995; Grew up in the midwest (Wisconsin). My mom is North Indian and dad is South Indian and I embrace both traditions. Recently, I returned back to the US after 3 years of traveling for work/pleasure to Costa Rica, Europe, India, Thailand. Im continuing my consulting, digital photography, and pursuing a longtime passion of coaching tennis as a USPTA instructor. Im looking forward to making new friends, exploring new spots around the Bay and CA. Ive traveled extensively to Amsterdam/Paris/coffee plantations in Jamaica, Costa Rica, North/South Tahoe, and traveled/lived a bit in Asia. Some really fun, yet (in retrospect) crazy times: Ive been chased by monkeys, almost fallen off from a round wooden flotilla into croc infested waters, stung by numerous ants, survived 2 icefalls, and partially burned a kitchen and stove trying to make samosas. However, Im still invited by my friends to be their cook.
My art, city, nature hobbies include: alternative energy research, anthropological arts, bookstores, dance/dj nights, ice treks, kayaking, motorbike, museums/galleries, neighborhood festivals, ornithology, roadbike/trailbike, zoos/conservation, writing haikus, and vain attempts at charcoal and painting. Im addicted to music of all kinds, laughter, morning coffee...dark and bitter!, redwine, spicy food. Other favorites include bakeries and cafes, farmers markets, NPR, cooking/travel shows, comedy/movies/scifi, daytrips, local hangouts/roadside stalls, and exploring new places locally.
Besides loving my work which tends to be challenging, invigorating, and social, I volunteer at Point Reyes and assist friends in improving their photography skills. Social awareness and justice are important ideals to me, but I approach that, and most of life, with a sense of ease and equanimity. I tend to be loyal and enjoy generosity of spirit.
I am drawn to a face that I can kiss and lick! I am slightly unconventional and alternative in my view of the world but you need not be. I can be a sounding board for issues that you may have, but enjoy a drama free relationship.
I will make you laugh.
I am creative in the kitchen.
I am contemplative but not moody.
I need my dose of nature often (plants, animals, the night sky).
I hold much faith in humankind.
I can tile your bathroom and paint your house.
I tend to be more patient than impatient.
I try to work really hard at everything I do.
I am moved by random acts of kindness.
At times, I get frustrated when faced by the fact that determination alone will not be enough to solve a problem.
I'll give you a kidney!
Id love to meet a cerebral, sexy woman for a unique connection to share emotional, physical, and intellectual pursuits. Someone with athletic abilities, enthusiasm for traveling, humor, silliness, and warmth; One who is confident, enjoys new experiences, is independently open-minded, opinionated, beautiful inside and out.
Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. I've lived half my life in the Bay Area--I moved up here for school from Southern California, with never a thought of going back--and I'm still not tired of walking the streets of San Francisco, though for my second act I plan to spend more time exploring places further north and beyond.
Lately, I have become a big fan of opera. It could be that, since I stopped watching TV a few years ago, I'm starved for narrative, but I think it's more than that. I never leave a production without feeling renewed. It's a spectacle – the voices, the costumes, the staging – that's not digitized. It blooms and then it disappears. No hitting "replay," only a memory– but that's a lot.
What am I looking for?
I'm grateful that my work leaves me with the time and resources to explore the bay area, and to do some traveling. My ideal match would be similarly flexible.
I eat healthy and stay physically fit, and I would hope that my potential match would do the same.
Gratitude, kindness and curiosity are a must. Sporting a birthmark behind your left thigh in the image of the profile of the late Richard Nixon – well, that would just be icing on the cake.
Date men and women from San Francisco, United States. I'm looking for a woman who is willing to try new things, to question, and who has probably taken a road less traveled or more likely, forged her own. She's confident, strong, unusually smart, daring, charismatic, well-educated, conscious of her feminine charms, and sometimes a study in contradictions. She is comfortable with foreign cultures and is at ease in social functions from trips to Delancey to trips to the Grammys. She's an adventurer and willing to push boundaries.
Me? I'm driven but not maniacal about success. How does the song go? "Measure your life in love..."
I've taken some big risks in my life. Forget taking the road less traveled, I have taken my life off road and for several years, pursued my passion in wine. Example A, imagine the expression on the faces of your immigrant Chinese parents when you inform them that you are taking a year off of Stanford Law School to pursue culinary school. Example B, imagine quitting your well paying job at a New York City law firm to pursue a commission only job selling wine for a new wine distributor? Now imagine leaving NYC (and your wine family which resembles the Sopranos) after having turned the new wine company into a success and moving to Hawaii. Oh, and I have a few other stories, but I'll save those for later. Yup, off-road. Lonely Planet style.
I think a lot of my earlier wanderlust was spawned by a glorious and formative experience I had studying a year abroad in Japan. I learned to see and view life in an entirely different way. It was intense, exciting, meaningful, and unforgettable. I've chased that love of discovery for a long time and to this day, the world never ceases to amaze me whenever I take the time to look.
With a little bit of luck and hard work, I've thrived despite some of the bumps and am grateful to be blessed in so many ways. Now that I've made it this far, it'd be nice to share new discoveries or even "la dolce far niente" with that special someone.
