Date a man from United States. I like to talk--about just about anything. I have studied cinema and it has been important to me for a long time. Film, the seventh art, offers us windows to the world, be that world a small and private one or vast in scope. Books and people provide
similar, if different, experiences. I am, however, not 71 (the system apparently won't let me change that); I am 75.
My principal interests are writing and reading,
film, France and French culture, photography, birds, and music. They sometimes come together in another interest--the natural world.
I have been swimming in San Francisco Bay for 25 years as a member of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club, my home away from home.
I like living in a city and have lived in North Beach for almost 30 years, primarily because of its village-like character and the fact that I can walk to do most of my daily tasks and in doing so often run into friends and neighbors. Community is integral to our nature as human beings. Preserving it and creating it however we can is essential to our survival, no matter where we live.
Steve Martin's LA STORY is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. The Greek film, ATTENBERG, which played recently in San Francisco, is another favorite from the past year--as quirky and off-beat as a conversation in the Dolphin Club sauna.
I read once in an article in LE MONDE, a French newspaper, that meeting strangers is the most important experience we have. I believe that.
Meet people from United States. Healthy, financially stable, faithful gentleman looking for a partner to share life's pleasures and tribulations. Love to find someone who enjoys life's simpler pleasures, is trustworthy and has a sense of humor. I enjoy the fruits of my primary occupation (being a dad) and am an active grandparent ("nonno") to my 5 grandchildren. Born and raised in SF where I still reside but have a modest weekend place in Sonoma. I've been told that I don't photograph well so take that into consideration before you hit "delete." I could wax poetic to fill this space but truthfully, until we meet, the additional words are a poor substitute for a face-to-face meeting. Ciao!

Date someone special from United States. Could you strike a MATCH and cause smoldering embers to flare in a thoughtful, sensitive, affectionate, stable biotech consultant father of two who knows in his heart San Francisco's views are best enjoyed through shared eyes? Intuitive, perceptive, intelligent, confident, creative, protective, nurturing, and reliable are admirable traits: I have them all. If you were to ask what single trait in myself I would change if I had the power, it would be my resistance to answering such a question! I'm self-contained (whatever that means) and I prefer a creatively independent lifestyle, working parttime, sharing parttime, valuing family first and you first...I enjoy listening to jazz and classical music but my favorite musician is Neil Young. I write poetry and read short stories, spy novels, and mysteries...not to mention the tea leaves of your inner emotions. I love flyfishing, Venus, walks (and talks) with you, cross country skiing, cycling, working out, photography, holding hands, looking into your eyes, and having my neck rubbed without asking...my photos less than 3 years ago. Can't wait to see yours! She cares at least as much about her match and their relationship as herself. She's intelligent, patient, listens as much as she talks, loves to surprise me, has great legs, loves to hold hands, shares all her passions with me, is typically cheerful, happy, and optimistic, tells me if I hurt her feelings and then forgives me. Most important, she wants to build a life together with me that takes the two of us...shared values and dreams and the willingness to create a lasting togetherness, lots of laughs, mutual happiness, and to be much, much more together than we are now as separate individuals apart.

Date a man from San Francisco, United States. I am a semi-retired academic. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and have had university appointments at a number of institutions (Washington, Illinois, Harvard, and UC Berkeley. I have been a faculty member in both Departments of Psychology and Graduate Schools of Education. I spend half my time in the city and half on the beach at a development on Monterey Bay. I get most of my exercise by walking, or jogging, through the city or on the beach. Particularly in the city, I enjoy people watching. I am not (to say the least) a good cook, so like to get to restaurants fairly often; there are at least ten good ones in easy walking distance (5-10 minutes) of where I live. I like travel, including local forays along the coast and more exotic locales. I also enjoy talking, relaxing, watching a fire on winter evenings. I would like to date someone who enjoys these same things. I have been told I have an excellent sense of humor and am very easy to be with. I would like to meet someone I would enjoy getting to know and to spend time with.
