Date men and women from United States / California / San Francisco, 57 year old

Date single man from San Francisco, United States. I'm a slender, fit American-born Asian and yet for some reason I keep getting matched up with Caucasian women who are not small and older than me. I mean, there is nothing wrong with that but it is just plain weird. It's like my opinion doesn't even count! What is up with that?
Anyways, I don't believe in a perfect match. I believe in a good match but frankly, nobody is perfect. How boring would life be without imperfections? But here are a few things I would like to find:
1 - Like everyone here, I'd like to meet someone amusing. At least someone who is as amusing as I think I am. Outgoing and social are good things too.
2 - Somebody who is capable of telling me what they think without inhibition. No passive aggressives, no bottled-up powder kegs
3 - Expressions of affection come easy to me and I hope from you as well
4 - A bit of kindness, caring for the human condition, a sense of social justice
It's a short list but I don't think unreasonable. I like to actually meet people face to face because that's the only way to gauge a personality. Also, like most of you, I like to know who I am communicating with so please, please do not contact me if you have no photo. I don't like those kind of surprises and there is a great potential for awkwardness if you communicate before getting a picture.

Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. You will find that I am friendly, warm, intelligent, adventurous, witty, romantic, youthful, irreverent, sophisticated, generous, confident but sometimes shy. I am a practicing litigation attorney in downtown San Francisco, a long-time meditator, an explorer at heart and a non-conformist by nature. I am steady and reliable.
I enjoy the beauty of nature, the diversity of culture, live music,from the mournful notes of a tenor sax to a biting guitar solo or the drum of the monsoon rain, great food that tempts my palate, regular escapes from civilization, and intellectual challenges. I like to float down broad rivers, cascade down whitewater rapids, snorkel tropical reefs, cycle the countryside, watch a good movie or TV show, peruse fine art and snuggle with my woman. Doing volunteer work that helps others brings me joy and is vital to my spiritual condition.
I'm looking for a woman with a fabulous heart and a beautiful soul, who is both athletic and feminine, is not afraid to follow her instincts or to take risks and who is looking for a true connection with another human being. A partner, soulmate, co-conspirator and inspiration.
I want to be the person whose shoulder you cry on, who listens to your problems, who makes you laugh, and who anticipates your desires and fulfills them without you having to say a word. If you want to share it all and create new experiences along the way, tell me how to get in touch with you.

Meet a man from San Francisco, United States. Independent hard working woman.... Kids are grown and gone. Time to enjoy my limited free time. Life is short! I love to hold hands, walk in the rain, cook, spend time with friends and family, travel, go out to dinner or see a show, listen to live bands, and spend romantic nights in front of the fireplace with that special someone. It would be nice to find a friend that enjoyed the things that I do and in time maybe that person would be the love of my life. One can always hope and dream.

Date men and women from San Francisco, United States. I often feel like a bear.
I taught California history and activism at New College. Now I co-direct a non-profit dedicated to restoring Ohlone tribal culture to San Francisco. That is a complicated, fascinating cultural revival project that adds 10,000 years to the human history of our city. Its also a collective trauma recovery process similar in a small way, to the Truth and Reconciliation process made famous in South Africa. (If you know about the outcomes of South Africa's process, especially its failures, we will have much to talk and think about together. If you want to learn about that, I would be excited to offer my perspectives.)
I am also an electrician.
I split with my partner of five years six months ago, but still am fragile and uncertain about my next partner. I am ready to date again, to learn about partnership, to find attraction and vision another future.
Four days ago I bought myself a motorcycle.
I love it.
In the short term, I am looking for new friends who might become close. In the long term, I am looking for someone with profound insight, a writer or philosopher, who also knows the value of beauty, song, and the magic of touching skin and soul.
I am keenly aware of how short our lives are and how important it is to mate with a clear, deeply communicated vision.
I am excited to began enjoying that conversation with women who are attracted to it with me.

Meet people from San Francisco, United States. I am a very fortunate person. I have a house in San Francisco, a good job, and the leisure to enjoy the good things that Northern California has to offer. I know that I’m supposed to write something about sunsets, puppy dogs, and walks on the beach at this point, but this online dating thing is new to me, and perhaps I’ll figure out what to write later. I may be a bit quiet when we first meet, but once I open up, there is a wicked sense of humor and a somewhat kinky way of looking at the world.

Date single man from California, United States. Jun 27 UPDATE:
After a 3 month stint, July 16 is my final day on Match. Fire sale begins July 1. No wink or email will go unreplied to. Guaranteed!
Jun 15 UPDATE:
To ensure a more positive experience for both of us, please wink/email given the following criteria:
- you're at least 50 years old
- you're fair skinned with blue, green or hazel eyes. (Not a matter of preference, I'm just wired/cursed this way.)
- you've posted hi-res/close-up photos less than 1 year old. Photos of: (1) landscapes, pets or any pic that you're not in; (2) group shots where you look miniscule; (3) you when you were younger; and (4) you obscured by sunglasses, hat, costume, others, etc. are perceived as not relevant.
- you are slender or athletic/toned
- you have youthful appearance and demeanor (My dimensions: 30" waist; 43" chest). Emphasizing that you're still active is like telling me you're still grooming when you get up in the morning.
- you do not live in the East Bay
So, if you're still reading...
All photos but first one are from Honolulu vacation on April 7, 2012. Head shot Oct, 2011. And, yes, I have a bib on.
Above all, I strive to be a great dad and admirable role model for my daughter. In fact, I love being a single dad. Besides raising her (50% custody), things that matter most include work, physical activity, living in SF, design/art/architecture, male bonding and 6-burner Wolf range.
I ingest Corporate America by day while my artistic side embraces The Mission as much as The Marina by night. I’m attracted to details – parts that comprise the sum, slight nuances that escape the everyday eye. I’m responsible, outgoing, urban, versatile and most definitely selective with how I spend my time and with whom. My ex would agree, but would certainly pepper with some choice nouns.
You’re most likely a loving mom with children that live with you part or full-time. You have parental obligations that may prevent you from dedicating 100% of your time to anyone special. Or you’re an understanding empty nester who remembers the time constraints way back when your kids lived at home and you’re now somehow able to accept someone else's budgeted time.
Time management is critical because you’re busy. Squeezing in a trip to Lululemon after your Joseph Cozza appointment before lunch at Spruce will not qualify. You prize downtime whenever you get it. You're active, youthful, independent and not needing a man to make you whole because you’re already there. Your aim is to meet someone to enhance your life, not complete it. You have plenty of options to fill whatever voids are in your calendar. Oh, and you're flat out fun to be with.
Finally, you’re comfortable with me treasuring the way your fingers return the strand of hair that escaped from behind your ear at Bix rather than the dining experience at Bix. You're equally at ease with me asking questions deserving of long answers just to hear your voice continue. And tolerant of my paying more attention to how your eyes fill with disappointment than the final Giant out at home plate.
How many more full moons will you see rise?...Do we have a shot at sharing one?

Date someone special from California, United States. "Never measure the inside of your life against the outside of others"
Life, as I see it, is the maturation of the internal richness of our hearts, and the capacity of our hearts to be present for ourselves, in relationship, with our children, with those who have less, with friends and family whom we love and care about. Self-compassion and gratitude are gifts.
I value intimacy on many levels, and I put a romantic relationship at the center of my life. I have two daughters, ages 11 and 13, who are clearly at that center.
I can be spontaneous, pensive, funny, complex, heartfelt, inventive and numerous other ways . . .
I love to smile, play jazz, enjoy the beauty of life (especially you).

Date men and women from California, United States. Modest, unassuming, humble are traits I like in myself and others. Very open to new viewpoints, I like to listen to people and learn from them, my values and beliefs are changing as I grow. I know tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, and the truly important things can not be held in your hand. I like history but don't like to live in the past, all the good stuff is straight ahead. It's important to me that everyone be treated with respect and no one gets their feelings hurt..
I like and appreciate women, and along with David Hawkins, consider them to be life's greatest mystery.

Meet people from California, United States. I'm down to earth, looking for the 'real' deal. I've been divorced for nine years, and am pleased to report that I have left all my baggage behind at earlier station stops. I'd love to settle down again.
I have two great kids, one of whom is away at college, and the other having a great time in New York. I lead a very active lifestyle, which includes stimulating the brain at symphonies, jazz, the local museums, and stimulating the body by still playing lots of sports, hiking, and yoga.
What am I seeking? Ideally, you will be sporty, so that we can do active things together, smart, so that neither of us gets bored with each other, and most important, a drama hating person, so that when life doesn't always go our way, we can still thrive.
I just returned to SF after taking a three month trip thru SE Asia, India, and Turkey. Wow.... One can read about these places, but experiencing them is something quite different. (I'm still haven't gotten over the cows wandering all over the streets of India.) I love to travel and hope you do too.
Is my partner in crime here on Match? I hope so............ If you think I might be 'your type of guy' send me a wink or email....
