Date men from United States / California / San Francisco, 36 year old - page 4

Date a man from San Francisco, United States. I'm originally from Upstate New York but have lived on the West Coast for the last 10 years. After college I moved to Boston for a few years then the weather took me to San Diego for a while and about a year ago I moved to San Francisco. I've always been very close with my family so living out here makes it a little difficult to see them as often as I'd like but I still try to get back twice a year and we talk on the phone weekly.
What keeps me busy? I enjoy being active, outdoors and traveling. In the past few years I've been on a road trip around Ireland, spent a few weeks traveling around Vietnam and Cambodia, visited 6 National Parks here in the US. I've hiked one of the highest peaks in the country, got certified for SCUBA and have taken flying lessons. Motorcycles have always been a big passion of mine, I even raced them for a few years. I enjoy photography and like wandering around the city looking for new things to shoot.
I look forward to continue exploring all that the Bay Area has to offer. There's so many amazing places within such a short distance. I'd love to meet someone to share all these experiences with.

Meet someone special from San Francisco, United States. I live by myself, I pay my own rent, I wear socks that match and I love my mom. I am a confident, attractive, and witty person.
I do stunt work. Have you ever seen it in a movie when a hot actor has to reveal his naked bum? That’s my job. Oh, and I’m in the hi-tech biz, as well as back in school finishing up my commercial pilot license. (the acting bit is false; hi-tech and commercial pilot schooling is true - flying is my hobby, not work).
Food: I love food. Period.
Preferred state of being: 1000 ft AGL or 100 FSW
Six Things I Would Never do Without:
Learning
Exploring
Exercise
Family Friends
Flying
#6 is something you'll have to guess or learn over time (you'll like it)...
On a typical Friday night I am: Trying to figure out the byproducts produced when bromopropylene reacts with potassium mascobiscolide. Either that or I'm partying like a rock star or drinking a can of it (I admit that partying like a rockstar often takes the form of me dancing wherever I may be at a given time.)
The most private thing I am willing to admit: I wear a special cologne. It’s illegal in nine countries…and it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.
You should message me if you are:
Sexy, smart, fit and fun. I don’t think that’s too much to ask…
[For the ladies who are interested to know my serious side -- I have all of the givens: hard working professional, very playful, honest, sincere, dependable, family oriented guy who is very active, fit, and constantly seeking out new experiences and learning new things. I recently moved to the Bay Area and wake up each day with a renewed level of excitement as I think through all of the options I have to explore and experience all that this great city and area has to offer. I've traveled all around the world and really enjoy meeting new people. May I make a suggestion? Let's connect over coffee or a quick run around the city. Who knows what we'll learn about and from each other.]
I am looking for a strong and exciting relationship with a spectacular woman.

Date single man from San Francisco, United States. The pertinent and info: 5'10"; born and raised in SF with a stint in LA for undergrad (eons ago); gainfully employed with no criminal record (I have an unpaid parking ticket almost year old, though; I'm sure SFPD is about to bust down my door any minute now); self aware (at least i think i'm self aware. maybe i'm really not and people think i'm a huge a-hole); I know when to use "your" and "you're".
send me an email if you'd like to re-create those wonderful Match.com commercials at the local Olive Garden. we can fake laugh at each other's jokes over endless breadsticks. my treat!
Random question: do any of you have friends on Match? if you do, are you worried that you will go out with someone your friend has already gone out with and _____ with? my friends and i talked about this and it was kind of funny...but kinda not at the same time.

Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. I'm driven, focused, love to laugh until I'm sick and write until I fall over. In some ways I live my life on fire, and want to be around people that feel the same--or close. I have almost no hangups, can tend to be a bit uncensored/sarcastic/sardonic and I love it when people return that.
When I'm not engaged in the literary, analytic activity most sane/non-academic people couldn't possibly care about, I'm usually running, drumming, in Tahoe (summer and winter), rock-climbing, cliff-diving, snow-boarding and seeking out new forms of flight, both literal and metaphoric. But I'm not sure any of that means a whole lot; it's an outline or a silhouette, and doesn't get at the details. Maybe these fill-in the picture: I like hugs that last a week, hugs while standing in oceans or lakes, impulsive trips for no reason, playful rolling/wrestling on floors until someone is ready to pass out, and kisses that resonate long after they're over. I'm a junky for affection, loyal almost to a fault, would do anything for the people I love (if they're in the trenches I am too until we figure a way out), and my dad is my best friend. I'm looking for some odd combination of emotional fire, integrity, character and lack-of-reserve . . . I'm looking for REAL.

Date a man from California, United States. So here goes...
I'm a painter and a sculptor... I recently moved back to San Francisco after a stint in LA to get my Masters. I love good food, good wine, travel, and the outdoors. I lived on a farm in Ireland milking cows and I studied art in Paris. I've been to Buenos Aires, and Bangkok, but also love the 4th of July in Padua (read RURAL) Minnesota, where my family came from 4 generations ago. I'm looking to meet people who are seeking out the good things this city, this world, and this life have to offer.
For my day job, I'm an art professor at the Academy of Art. If you are in the city, you know the school I am talking about. The one all over the place. I teach Welded and Fabricated Sculpture, and Sculpture 1. I love interacting with students and opening their minds to new ways of making and introducing them to new artists. In particular, there is almost nothing better than empowering a student with a welding torch. The first day they see that torch they can't believe what they have gotten themselves into and want to run away. By the end, they are welding, hammering, bending and forging hot metal to their will... I love it.
My other general interests (besides making art) include live music with friends, dancing, camping, the beach!, singing karaoke, bars for some beers and dancing; really I'm up for anything as long as there is fun to be had. Did I say dancing? I like to dance.
I have a strong family relationship, my two brothers live in Sausalito and Santa Cruz, and my parents still live in Marin where I grew up. We try to have family dinners with some regularity. Conversation runs the gamut and they are fun filled occasions as mom loves wine, and my sister in law is in the wine biz. Works out great...
I joined because I'm interested in finding a relationship that has the possibility of turning into something long term. I'm pretty motivated by getting the best out of life, and would expect the same in a partner. Please feel free to drop me a line...
~Cheers and good luck in your search
Michael
PS Evidently something changed and I can no longer post my website address up here, but if you are interested in seeing some of my art, I can send you the link!

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hola!!! I recently moved back to the bay area.
I don't believe you can get to know someone through a written profile so I'll keep it short and leave it to when we meet.
I'm 6'1" and 175lbs. I love watching and playing sports. I play in basketball and softball leagues. In the winter I hit the slopes. I work out 3 -4 times a week and always stay active. I also love traveling, learning new cultures and eating. I been to every continent except Africa and Antarctica. I completed my first passport book last year and I plan to keep traveling. Oh and did I mention I love FOOD!!! : )
I'm hoping to meet someone really really really chill who stays active. I want someone who appreciates working out and maintains a healthy, tone and fit body. Someone who's positive and enjoys life to the fullest. Someone respectful, considerate, energetic and confident. And definitely someone DRAMA free!!!
Ciao and Pura Vida!!!

Date single man from California, United States. I want to be with someone warm and accepting and supportive. Never judgmental to others less fortunate.someone able to to be grateful for what life or god has given them. Someone who will accept me for what and who I am and who wont try and change it . Someone who is honest with herself and others. And not afraid to show her true self.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I recently learned that I have 9,000 tastebuds. I really enjoy using all of them, frequently. :-) I'm addicted to the Travel Channel. I'm the dreamer and the doer....from home repair, working on cars, cooking gourmet meals, to building houses in Brasil and Fiji. And literally, I dream a lot!
I believe we should make this world a better place...not just for ourselves, but for others! I'd rather see the good in people, than the bad. I have guilty pleasures...like watching TMZ, dark chocolate, double apple, mint shisha. My work can often be very demanding, so every once in a while I love to catch up on my DVR--mainly my cooking reality shows!
People would say I am positive, witty, edgy, easy going with a full and active life. I am blessed to have a loving family and amazing friends with whom I share strong bonds. We are "that" table at the restaurant that is always joking and laughing--often quite loudly.
Musicwise, I love anything with a good beat, from Alternative to Salsa to Hip Hop and recently to Bhangra (thanks to my friend Jimmy in Chicago).
What is important to me is integrity and dependability--in other words, I really value people who are honest enough with themselves to mean what they say and say what they mean. We could all have a long laundry list here, but ultimately, isn't it about chemistry?

Date a man from United States. Easy going, outgoing and fun loving individual. Love traveling, dining out, playing/watching sports and cooking (yes...i like cooking). Will admit to be somewhat of a workaholic, but willing and genuinely trying to change.

Meet someone special from United States. I've split my life between science and technology and the arts. I am balanced rationally and emotionally. I am interested in the physical and the spiritual. My deepest desire is to find other interesting and interested people who have courage, enthusiasm, and relentlessly demand good times.
I have traveled extensively, including France, England, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Egypt, India, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Bahamas, most US States and Canada. I was born and raised by a big lake in Florida across the street from a rodeo grounds. I have lived in Miami, Orlando, Boston, Los Angeles, and now San Francisco. I no longer like to travel. I love the Bay Area and stay here as much as possible. What I have learned from my travels is that it is the people who stay that make a place wonderful. I mean to offer that to visitors of my home.
I start more projects than I finish. I'm fine with that. There is nearly nothing I won't try: scuba diving, sky diving, downhill skiing, duck pin bowling, fried shrimp heads. No idea I won't try to consider. But I am clear about who I am and what I want. I want to live and learn and grow. I am glad to lose arguments. Please change my mind.
Sexiness is not about fashion or perfume for me. Or those oddly oversized sunglasses people seem to love. It's about being confident, funny, demanding in ways that make sense, being unique because it feels natural, not because it's too scary to accept you're just like the rest of us.
I have learned that love and intimacy can exist in friendship. I believe it's all the more important to keep that clear when attraction is part of the deal.
I am a feminist. I value success and support opportunity. Unfair paradigms - even those that favor me - are still unfair. Keeping in mind that every individual has unique experiences, I will mean to understand yours if you offer me the same.
I love plants. Indoors I fit them in every space I can. And I visit them where they live - in gardens and beyond. I think they make great photo subjects.
And I love scones. And slowly simmered soups made of pork and root vegetables. And sushi. I am happy if you're a vegetarian, or only eat pineapples. I will want to understand why, and ask you for some good pineapple recipes.
I love music. You really should too. Not necessarily the same music. But music. I mean seriously.
If you haven't listened to The Wall, please do. And tell me what you think of it. If you hate it, please seek help. If you love it, good. If you think I'm a jerk for writing this - perhaps. But I'm not. So there's my point.
Some people frown on video games, comic books, board games... Are you one of those? I like what is good. No categories, no genres, no irrelevant intellectual or emotional baggage. I don't care if it's plastic, or cardboard, or associated with people I don't agree with. If it's good, it's good. And I like good.
I spent years in a suit. Now I mostly wear what's comfortable. I am fond of esthetics - harmony and beauty of form in all things. I am as eager to discuss fashion as I am engineering. If the conversation is based on real sensory value, not status.
I am nearly always calm. Though food and live music get me excited. I will never not make sense, I will never be unfair, if I get the chance to get there. I will never expect anyone to be or do or say anything they don't choose for themselves. But I will insist on understanding, and being engaged, and expect something back along those same lines.

Date single man from United States. I am a bit of a geek who is seeking a friend first to go out and have fun with and possibly more. I am new to the area and want to learn more about what's around me. I work a lot, but I love to be able to unwind with friends, and I would love to have company while I go out and find adventures.

Meet a soulmate from United States. If my friends were to describe me, they would probably say that I'm funny, witty, caring, polite, patient, open-minded, respectful...and a closet dork. Me, I would say say I'm someone who knows how to make the best out of every situation, who finds joy in the simplest things, who sees the beauty in everything, who never stops dreaming, who likes to lose himself so I can discover new things as I find my way back.
As for my ideal match, I'm looking for someone to share this crazy journey with me, someone who is independent and knows how to find happiness, who is not afraid to be themselves or doesn't feel like they need to be somebody's dream girl, who's confident about herself, who doesn't mind the occassional f-bombs, who laughs with me, not at me, when I suffer from the Asian blush and who just simply enjoys life.
As for this journey, it will be a path of many misdirections and spontaneous adventures. The only thing that we can rely on is each other to be the guide, always moving forward.
I'm not sure where this journey will ultimately take us, but I hope the new experiences and memories that we'll share along the way will lead us both to what we are looking for at the end.
Are you ready to go on this journey with me? If so, I reserved a first class ticket for you.
Note: Please leave your baggage at the gate.
