Date women from United States / California / San Francisco, 44 year old

Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. I'm down to earth and a fun-loving California girl with a lot of energy and a passion for being active from the ocean to the mountains who is looking to make this great life even better with that special someone to share it with. I'm adventurous, warm and caring who laughs easily, and sees the positive side of everyday situations. I like finding ways to give back to my community. I'm a romantic at heart, affectionate, and like doing special things for the people in my life to let them know they are thought of.
Some of the best times have been traveling the world, finding those unique hidden gems, and exploring the road less traveled. Whether kayaking and hiking the fiords of New Zealand, diving in Belize to breathtaking wilderness and glaciers of Patagonia, I like being out in nature, doing something active or athletic outdoors. Life is also about feeling connected to friends and family with genuine happiness, and enjoying the simple moments together. I enjoy the finer things, too -getting dressed up for a night out, enjoying great food and wine, and culture to good conversation. Hiking boots to heels, I'm there with a smile.
What I'm looking for... a compassionate man who is bright, witty and playful. :) Someone who enjoys all life has to offer and wants that meaningful connection where there's that spark of passion between us. Integrity and kindness, and good communication where support one another is important to me along with a man who believes in chivalry. I'd like to meet someone who shares my passion for the outdoors whether cycling, exploring the wine country, or an urban city day, and has a passion for travel - spontaneous weekend getaway or across the globe. If you live a healthy, balanced life, laugh often, and handle life with a smile, say hello, let's see where life takes us.

Meet a woman from San Francisco, United States. Gents: Please do read my profile before contacting me. Thanks!
I'm clever, quick witted and love to laugh. I'm honest and direct. I'm half city girl and half country girl. half conservative, half rebel. I haven't been able to decide completely. I may never. I'm not lying about my stats, please don't lie about yours.
My FAVORITE things: horses and riding, travel, food - from street food to fine dining, I love cooking for a dinner party or just us two, I love hostessing and catering a cocktail party for 10 or 100. I love animals in general (yet still eat them... I know...) I love to travel - particularly European countrysides.
Currently I'm missing out on some of my very favorite things: cooking dinner for someone I adore, snuggling on the sofa to watch a movie with ice cream or Chinese delivery. Planning a trip with someone special, buying that perfect tie as an unexpected gift.... Maybe that's where you can come in?
(segue to the "you" part)
You are very smart, charismatic, confident, competent but not narcissistic. You care about your appearance (classic style trumps looks). You have old fashioned values, don't feel awkward or silly standing when a woman comes to the table. Opening doors is of course a must. You're funny and you laugh a lot.
You're fit but you probably don't have a picture of yourself topless on the internet... :(
You should be stronger than me. You're taller than I am or at least larger (5'11" and 145 pounds will just feel too small to me). I like to be able to look up to a man, physically and mentally.
You're honest, have a strong moral compass but maybe still make your own rules. You like to laugh, to travel, to be spontaneous and to surprise your woman with the occasional gift or note or text because you want her to know you think of her when she's not around. And you'd appreciate the same from me.
I also really like the rebel or even the geek, the entrepreneur or someone who's done things his own way. I know I have, and find I don't have much in common with people who haven't, in some way, forged their own paths.
You'll tolerate my need to pet nearly every dog I see on the street and my occasional arrival in public places in riding boots and britches. Maybe you'll even come to a horse show and cheer me on.
I'm finding more and more that I don't have a LOT in common with traditional California "dudes" or sports fan types. I have a more international taste in things and would rather spend a Sunday afternoon discovering a great new local spot, on a long drive, at a great cafe in Yountville than at a game. Yes, even than in a box.
If a large enough percent of the above sounds like you, please write! I may have a place for you to hang your hat.
I won't respond to winks.

Date a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. My friends would say that I am a special, and rare person. I am FUN, FIT, and FANTASTIC!!! I am healthy mentally and physically. I have a lot of energy, love, and passion in life. I love to laugh, love to eat, love to receive little treats, love to be with people, and especially love to be loved. For years, I closed my heart to a man and were not open to have a relationship. Recently, my friend Brenda found her love and just got married to a nice man whom she found on match.com. Now she wants me to give it a try. So here I am. I am taking a chance to search for my man, who will inspire me to love and share my passion in life. I believe in love and a traditional relationship. I want a special man who believes in sharing his life and building a harmonious and productive relationship with me.
Everyday, people make me smile by being kind, caring, thoughtful, and generous to me or to others. Being happy and smilling are important to have in a daily basis. I love to see people smile, especially smiles you can see through their eyes! I like to take a good care of myself and others whenever I can.
I am grateful for my life, my health, my family, my friends, and my career. I am proud of my upbringing, my education, my personalities, and my positive attitudes toward life. I am confident and know exactly what I want in life. I live my life to its fullest potential and treassure my time every single moment. I am happy having many wonderful friends, an amazing family, and a fantastic job.
I am ready to start a relationship with a man who is ready for a serious, committed, and meaningful relationship with me. My ideal man will have to be intelligent, wise, kind, generous, honest, with disciplines and morals. Like me, he also has to work hard and play hard. We will be together in good and bad time, support and love each others for life. We will work hard to make our relationship last forever. We will be happy, smile, laugh, and/or even cry. I hope we will make our hearts skip a beat or even beat faster. And we will grow old together.....
So, what do you think? Do we have a match? Cheers- Happy Love Searching!!!!

Meet someone special from United States. Hello gentlemen, I'd like to meet a wonderful guy who is interested in a committed relationship. My ideal match is successful, smart, active and available! (And he lives in or near the Bay Area.)
I enjoy social events, travel, fine wine and food, cooking, yoga, swimming, hiking and sailing and would like to enjoy all that life has to offer with a very special someone. I take good care of myself and am looking for a match who does the same.
I am fairly accomplished in my education and career, have travel quite a bit around the world and would like to find someone who has done the same and shares my values.

Date a woman from United States. Let's see-my close friends would describe me as fit, intelligent, sarcastic (I'll second that), stylish, driven and aware. I'm originally from the Midwest so I try to keep all those qualities in healthy balance. I feel I really know myself and look forward to letting someone get to know me too!
I am open to meeting a guy who's honest about who he is, we are all human! The vulnerability of allowing another person inside our hearts is well worth the risk. And if you are tall enough for me to wear heels-then all the better!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am adventurous, generous, fun and loving. Travel is a passion of mine and I try to take myself on an adventure every year. Over the years some of the places that I've traveled to are Costa Rica, Morocco, Hawaii, and Prague. In addition to world travel I also enjoy relaxing on a beach and weekends in the wine country. I also enjoy cooking, but cooking for one is not as much fun as cooking for family and friends. I do have a recipe published in a cookbook. Feel free to ask me more about that experience. I am up for adventure. I am blessed to be close to my family and have a circle of friends that span the years. They would say that I am great at getting people together.
As my profile name says I am a sports fan. I have no problems watching a big game in a bar and cheering on my team or yours. Locally, I have tickets to CAL football.
I am looking for a man that is generous, loving, and my best friend. He should have done some traveling because I think that you learn a lot when you visit other countries. I think that you should enjoy what you do for work, but it's not your life. You know how to balance work and play. You will support me and my interests. Likewise I will support you and yours.

I know everyone says that they like to travel, but so do I! I have done some traveling and want to see and experience more. I also like snuggling up to a warm fire on a cold night, an afternoon barbeque on a warm sunny day, food, wine and great conversations, good music that makes you get out on the dance floor and �shake it” and weekend get aways. We live in such a great area. We are so close to everything (beach, mountains, wine country etc)….
I like the outdoors -- hiking, running, biking, walking, skiing, the beach etc. I grew up near the beach; so I think I'll always love being near water or playing outdoors. I don't mind getting a little dirt on me and at the same time, I love to put on heels and go out for the evening.
