Date men and women from United States / California / San Francisco, 59 year old

Date a man from California, United States. My experience has been that self-descriptions only go so far, and rarely give a very accurate picture of how two people will relate. So, my preference is usually to cut to the chase and get together if you think there might be a possibility. Having said that, since a picture is worth a thousand words, I do hope your photos are current so I will actually recognize you when we meet. :-0 Everything you see here is the unadulterated truth because I simply cannot imagine the kind of relationship I'm seeking under any other conditions. I'm looking for the long term. The goal here is to get off this site permanently, right?
So, up front, my apologies for the picture of the fish. I know women tend to wonder "what's up with all these guys showing pictures of themselves holding dead fish?" Heck, if I were a woman I'd ask the same question! Kind of like guys putting up photos of themselves without a shirt, yaknowhatimsayin? The reason I'm including it is that it was taken very recently (July 14, 2012) and my other pics are a year or two old. So, that's what I really look like right now. Plus, that fish is such a beauty - at least there's SOMETHING nice to look at in the photo!
I love being on (and in) the ocean. We had Blue whales feeding around us that day. I also crave getting up into the mountains or heading to some place warm for snorkeling or surfing. The City holds it's attractions too, of course - really starting to get into the art scene. All of this could be so much more enjoyable and meaningful with a loving companion, you know?
Earlier in 2012 I parted amicably with someone who wasn’t right for me. (It was only 5 mo. so no big deal.) Perhaps some of the things on the wish list I created after that experience may give you a sense of who I seek. Please don't read into this all the faults I found because that's not at all what this is, OK?
• Someone who is amused by astrology but is much more interested in astronomy.
• Someone who realizes how crucial it is to treasure every moment. The good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the easy and the difficult.Because this is it, kids – life is finite. Live while you’re alive!
• Someone who is grounded in the natural world, not the supernatural (ghosts, otherworldly guides, past lives, soul travel, etc.)
• Someone who is easy on the eyes, physically and mentally fit.
• Someone who has had children (flexible on this one).
• Someone who has been married (flexible on this one).
• Someone who craves togetherness and also craves solitude.
• Someone who can forgive my occasional memory lapses. (I’m a man, remember?)
• Someone who may be high maintenance, but you’re worth it!!!!
• Someone who …..
Just getting started on Match again, after about a two year hiatus. I'm looking forward to getting together with you!

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Temporarily in San Francisco for the next couple of years, but will soon be free to be where I want, whereever my heart leads me. Looking for friendship that grows and blooms into something meaningful and great. I've found that common interests and activities are important in my relationships. I love to be physical, outside, playing golf, windsurfing, kitesurfing, cycling, and I'm looking for someone who likes the same. I've lived in cities as large as New York and Los Angeles, and towns as small as 30,000. I'm adaptable. I seek a companion, a friend, someone who plays hard and loves with all of her heart, someone who loves to touch and kiss and needs the same from me. Let's make the world our playground.
I think I'm somewhat of a walking paradox. I love to be physical and love active sports like windsurfing and kitesurfing and cycling, yet golf fascinates me because of the precision and dedication it needs. No matter how good you get, you can always get better. Physical activity is important to me, but mental and intellectual excercise is equally important. I've retired from a successful medical practice in interventional cardiology and have gone back to law school, starting my 2L year now.

Meet single man from California, United States. Hi: This strikes me a little like advertising a used car. One owner (obviously), runs good, well maintained, cruise control, leather seats, and original parts (so far). If you buy that I'm looking for someone who is honest, likes to laugh and wants to have fun - the rest is gravy. I don't know how other people describe me - hopefully the same way. I value grace, integrity, friendship and passion. Life is too short and sharing wonderful moments is one of its greatest pleasures. I've been to interesting places - trekking in Nepal, India and Peru, diving in Bali and Cozumel and traveling in Mexico, Africa, and Europe. But there are many other places I’d like to see and things I’d like to do. I was born and raised in NY, and lived and worked all over the country but San Francisco is home now - for the third time. I do love living and working here. But I'm ready for another chapter in my life doing my own thing, writing, teaching and traveling. I've also invested in a yoga retreat center in Spain where I’d like to spend more time. It would be great to share whatever comes next because I know how much more fun it will be.

Date men and women from United States. I am am hoping to meet an Italian or Italian American. If you are not Italian or of Italian-American descent, no need to contact me.
I play accordion in the band Bella Ciao and am a total grammar geek who delights in correcting people's English - well, everyone's except yours. I love hiking and would love to meet someone who can pull me away from my computer and get me out in the fresh air.
I am going to Italy in the fall of 2012 to teach English. perhaps you would like to join me - but for now, how about just meeting for a glass of wine.

Meet single man from United States. Cheer up Ladies! There are still some good men out there, so read on and trust your intuition!
People with common traits and interests have the best chance of going the distance, so if you're interested in golf and/or partner dancing, keep reading. OK, I know that's kinda limited, but keep reading anyway. It's just that I spend most of my time doing those activities, but of course I am open to doing other things as well.
Golf has taken me from the sunny fairways of Tahiti to the treacherous pot bunkers of Scotland. I have a decent game, but golf has much more to offer than trying to move a dimpled ball around a course. Every venue offers it's own visual delights and is a different adventure that is shared with your friends. Golf offers travel around the world, and exploration of different lands, cultures and food. Incredible game.
I've only been partner dancing a couple of years, but discovered that I have a good feel for it. Ideally, I'd like a girlfriend/dance partner. It's so great to be spiritually and physically in sync with someone. Whether it's the drama of tango, the joy of swing, flirtiness of cha-cha, or heat of salsa, I love sharing the rhythm, elegance, energy and heat on the dance floor. How bout you?
Golf and dancing are my favs, but I also enjoy tennis, skiing, cycling, board and card games, live theater and music. I'm willing to try what you like too (except sudoku and knitting).
I'm not messy, so I don't need someone to clean up after me. But I don't cook many things, and would appreciate your culinary skills. It would be fun to cook together, too!
So, lets share some succulent food, and smooth wine, perhaps a walk in the sunshine or some live music. As we do that, you will discover an honest, sensitive, empathetic, playful, and really decent guy. A man who likes to kid around and laugh, and learn about you. I'm young at heart, mature in mind.
As your soulmate/best friend, we will enjoy travel, passion, and adventure, with lots of smiles and laughs sprinkled on top. I like women who are funloving, smart, honest, affectionate, physically fit, and easy going. Someone with balance because they see life's big picture.
Hight maintenance is a deal killer for me. Don't get me wrong. It's just that I want to treat my other half well because I want to, not because she demands it. That's not love.
Regarding my appearance, I stated below that I am athletic and toned. While that is the truth, relative to men my age, I appear more average in build (5'8", 160#).
I know I'm asking for a lot, but if you are most of what I dream of, you'll be adored. I know this all sounds too good to be true, but it is. Care to find out?

Date people from United States. What do i said other then iam a man interested in meeting that special worman who interested in living ajoyful life together with me....Mainly iam asimple man keeping mylife simple dont need anykind of drama in mylife that at times otherlife bring my way!!!!

Meet someone special from United States. So many things to be grateful for in life - family, friends, lots of interests, travel, a career I've enjoyed, and just living in the Bay Area. But perhaps the real question I have, is, what are you looking for? What do you like? Do arts and culture, active vacations near or far interest you? Do you like dressing up or dressing down? Enjoy good conversation and exploring new things? Do you like museums, film, cycling, recycling, literature, architecture, design, hiking, or opera? The New York Times? Eating well and living a healthy way of life?
As for my interests, I appreciate a positive outlook, people who are caring, giving, and gentle. Someone who recognizes that relationships are both give and take. A woman who enjoys her femininity yet is equally comfortable getting a bit sweaty and dirty out doing things. It would be great to share an active life - physically as well as a life of the mind - a life filled with new experiences, challenges, travel and exploration. The world and people fascinate me. Life's adventures shared enriches both. This is a wonderful world and the Bay Area is a wonderful place to live. Why not stop reading, and just drop me a line ? We both might meet the best friends of our lives...to paraphrase TS Elliot - "do I dare, and do I dare to eat a peach, do I dare to disturb the universe?".
