Date a man from California, United States. Well then. For starters, I owe my life to a rabbit named Sonar Pee-pellet. Thanks little buddy.
I've been a California boy all my life. Grew up in Monterey, escaped to Berkeley, and then found myself in the tiny big city and never left. I've spent nine years here, the last few of which in Pac Heights.
When I was 20 I inherited an extraordinary cheesecake recipe. Well. Technically, it's a cheese pie. But that's a long and academic discussion for another time.
I know a little bit about a lot of things, but often wish I knew one thing real real well.
I'm developing a nasty addiction to international travel.
I have a lot of tools and know how to use at least half of'em.
There is nothing I hate more in all the world than doing the laundry -- especially socks. And as a subset of this issue, I've spent 8 years trying to find a graceful way to put on a comforter cover by myself and failed, utterly. It's a disaster every time.
Kilt Lifter is a beer brewed in Novato. But yes, I do have a kilt.
Meet single man from California, United States. I'm Shannon. I don't think my dad knew Shannon is a girls name when he named me. I'm pretty shy and reserved at first, but sarcastic and goofy once I'm comfortable around people. I'll try anything once, especially stuff off the beaten path. I like exploring new restaurants and places. I rarely go to the same place twice. I've lived in the Bay Area on and off but recently moved to SF, so I still have a lot to see here. I yelp Everything. I would yelp my friends if the website let me. I love food of all sorts, but most importantly, I need dessert at least 1-2 times a day. That's what happens when your parents raise you strictly on Nutri-Grain and their idea of a junk food binge is a tall glass of Sprite. Having said that, I take pride in being healthy and moving my body is important to me - think sports, not the gym. My idea of a good time is not loud bars/clubs, but more along the lines of dinner and a movie or a laid back lounge. I don't mind a wild night once in a while, but they usually don't end well. I've done some traveling and I'd like to do more. Of course, Brazil in 2014 for the world's greatest sporting event. Spain is also on my list. I'm in the process of changing careers, so I'm in school and will be for a while.
I'm looking for someone who I can explore and relax with. Someone down to earth, open, and not afraid of sarcasm. No partiers. I figure the worst that could happen is I meet some new people and maybe come out of this experience with a couple new friends.
Date someone special from California, United States. Intensely-laid back... (So I might have "borrowed" this phrase from the examples) However, it would describe me well. I am driven and set on maximizing life but I do so without losing sight of the whole picture. I do not take myself too seriously and appreciate those that do not as well.
Personality and conversation are the most important aspects of a relationship, though obviously physical and intimate connections are necessary as well.
So I find myself here, which I didn't think I would do but who has time to go out and meet people these days??? When I go out now it is focused on enjoying and catching up with the people that I already know.
I am most tired of the dating games people play. Being that I am very straightforward there is no need for games. As I am new to SF I am open to meeting friends to explore new sites with but ideally I am looking for a relationship.
I enjoy traveling, dancing (absolutely terrible at it), skiing, beer/wine tasting, golf, and tennis.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. i am a good person and looking for the same. i enjoy traveling, eating, and respect loyalty and trust. i hope you are in teh same boat and looking for something similar. lets talk and get to know each other.
Date a man from United States. It is not important to make someone fall in love with you once, it is important to have that special someone fall in love with you everyday, share a laugh, a tear, a smile, a life... I enjoy eating out, running, going different places, meeting new people. I am just a real guy with a big heart.
Meet single man from United States. I'm a young Asian professional guy working in SF for a nationally renowned publishing company as an accountant. Looking for a good looking, nice woman who I can take out on romantic dates and can keep up with my busy schedule. If you like going out and having a good time then I'm the one to meet. I also like exercising and taking care I'd my appearance. I would love a girl who is the same way.
Date someone special from United States. Born and raised like corn in Nebraska, I moved out here a few years ago for college. Rather randomly, actually. I didn't know how great the Bay Area is and I've been here, for the most part, ever since. My family, which now includes my niece and nephew, still live in Nebraska. I visit often but not in the Winter.
It'd be interesting to get some input from folks who know me well. I like the finer things in life but don't have to have them. My interests and passions in descending order are flying, traveling, work, sailing, skiing. I'm pretty open minded when it comes to life, despite my red state upbringing.
Why am I on Match? Somewhat hard to answer without sounding too serious about it. Basically, I'd like to find someone to share a life with. This is easier said than done as they key is very much in the lifestyle I'm looking to pursue (by lifestyle I mean passions, approach to decision making, prioritization of whats important in life, etc.). Others have quickly adopted to what I want but I've been hard-pressed to find a woman who genuinely and independently wants the same.
So yeah. Basically that's it. If there are any questions, drop me a line and we can talk it out over a glass of wine.
Meet a soulmate from United States. Goodness...where to begin? Well, here's a list of fun facts that make me a pretty rad guy (well, kind of...)
- I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy, but can clean up nicely needed
- Mom raised me, so I know how to treat a lady (and people, in general)
- I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin, so what you see is what you get
- I like to think I can dance, but I really can't. I try...(hopefully you have a sense of humor and don't embarrass easily)
- I once spent a summer living on a fishing boat in Alaska
- I've gone on tour with Sheryl Crow
- I find myself at Costco more often than I'd like. Not to shop, but for the hot dogs and pizza. Sad... i know
- I'm a HUGE fan of the eighties and hair metal
- I'm an undercover geek and a trekkie. Don't judge
- The person who thought of breakfast for dinner is my hero
- I watch waaaaaaaaay too much HGTV
I'm attracted to people with interests all over the place, just like me. People who can motivate me to be a better person just by being themselves. People who enjoy hanging out at home just as much as getting out there and painting the town red. And people who can put up with my sarcasm, dry humor and really bad jokes (I have tons). Hopefully they're sane, witty and smell nice too :)
That being said...Hi, I'm Calvin! I'm excited to meet you :)
Date a man from San Francisco, United States. Yes, I love music, travel, laughing, friends, family, life, sleeping, breathing, blinking, defecating in a toilet… you get the point.
On to specifics,
I’m a laid back character, majority rules, however, if no one can come up with a spot, I have a few in mind.
If it’s music, I like a little of everything but my main fix originates and stems from the blues. Classic rock is a close second then various others.
I do follow politics and social issues and enjoy talking about them.
I’m self educated, and biased off of my research, books only have half the answers.
I enjoy writing as a hobby,
I love certain video games, if you have GH, or , RB I will destroy you. (Novice Real guitar player)
I am genuinely looking for someone to hang out with and have adventures then see where it ends up from there.
Meet single man from San Francisco, United States. I live a random life but its been a great time. I was born in the UK, grew up in Dallas (and hence a Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys fan), middle school and high school in the North Bay, college in Arizona, then came back to Cali for 2 years then decided to go see the world so spent 3 years in the UK, 2 in New Zealand and 1 in Australia before heading to San Jose for a job and am now in the process of moving to San Francisco (after I head to London for work for 2 weeks).
I'm laid back and learnt a few years ago its not worth stressing over things you can't control (which confuses some people). After living in countries where taking vacation (from work - not necessarily going somewhere) is mandated by law I have learnt not to let work run my life. Its just there to provide a way to pay for the things we really want to do.
Ive started hiking Mission Peak in Fremont 4 or 5 times a week as it is much nicer than going to the Gym but now that I am only in San Jose 1 maybe 2 nights a week I'll have to find a new "outdoor gym."
I enjoy talking to people and I can talk to just about anyone. I probably go to the bars to often but normally its for 2 reasons -- I am to lazy to cook, and there are always random people to talk to. I know part of it comes from traveling and staying in hostels overseas as that is where you meet people to hang out with that night / the next day.
What I am looking for: There are no real rules for what I am looking for its more of what I am NOT looking for. If your so wound up that you never relax I'm not interested. If you don't like to travel - it will never work. If you go to bed at 8 pm - its not gonna work. If your overbearing and demanding -- well thats just not gonna work either..
Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. I'm looking for too much fun for both of us. The world is exciting to share and play hard on.Imagine no religion nations hell just living (responsibly) just for today, you may say I'm a dreamer but I,m not the only one....
Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. After covering crime as a newspaper reporter, I’ve learned a pretty valuable lesson: It's easy to find a chuckle when your life is in a sweet spot. But if you can belt out laughter when your life hits the skids, well, you're a person with lot of grace and moxie.
That's the kind of person I want to be. And it is the person I want to meet.
So here’s a brief snapshot of me right now: Finding the silliest piece of humor out of anything is my little fix of nirvana. Spontaneity is the leading cause for the most fun in my life. And I think nothing is more sexy than good old fashion intellectual stimulation.
I am an easygoing fella with only two little demands. Make me laugh and make me think.
