Date women from United States / California / San Francisco, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a very down-to-earth, happy, fun girl! I grew up in the South and believe that has much to do with how I live my life and how I treat others. I was raised by two parents who taught me right from wrong and to be respectful. I value honesty, passion, humor, intelligence, kindness, compassion, loyalty and... well...cute legs and great kisses work, too!
I have lived in the city for a bit over 3 years and still enjoy exploring it. I'd love to have someone to jjoin me.
My career is one on which I have worked for many years. My job often makes me crazy and I sometimes ask myself why I do it. However, I love it and can not imagine doing anything else!
Health and fitness are important to me and I look for the same in a partner. Am I in perfect shape? Nope. But I exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet (with a splurge every now and then, of course!) A Saturday morning walk/run on the beach or through the city would be great to share. And- having someone to keep me motivated when I am being a wimp would be great, too!
A relationship based on mutual respect and the simple desire to be together is what I want. We "get" each other and like one another. He sees the "happy-with-who-I am-but-wants-to-share" side of me and wants to share as well! We do all the things we learned in kindergarten- taking turns and sharing; we learn and grow; we play nicely together and settle disagreements respectfully; we even take naps! I understand the differences between men and women and tend to not dwell on the issues that may arise because of those. He'd know that he can count on me like one of the guys, but I'd understand him wanting to just be with the guys. He'd need to be okay with the fact that I am not too handy in the kitchen. Creating a meal together is always fun and can be quite romantic. However, I should probably just be in charge of pouring the wine.
Different from some girls, I truly love football. When I was little, I spent many Sunday afternoons on my daddy's lap watching games. Back then, I -of course- liked the teams with the prettiest uniforms. Now, I am a Seattle Seahawk fan and frequently travel to Seattle for games. ( I do go to 49er games despite the NFCW rivalry) My hope would be that my partner would at least like football. If not, that is fine. I just hope he'd tolerate it when I yell at the TV during games.
None of us gets to this point in our lives without a past. I have mine and have learned from it. I have come to realize that the important things in life are the simplest things. For example- make me laugh and you have my attention! I wouldn't say I am simple, as I know I can be complex. Yet, I expect nothing more than I am willing to give or am capable of giving. I look for the same in a partner. I think that's fairly simple!!

Meet a woman from California, United States. I love these profiles that read: "My closest friends say I am loyal, sincere, outgoing, caring [insert numerous positive attributes]." Well, of course they do, they're your friends, what are they going to say, that you are mean, selfish, and no fun to be around! Sorry, I couldn't resist. It would be funny to read a profile where a person said, I do not like to have a good time, I am neither outgoing nor fun-loving, I do not like wine, coffee, camping, dogs, cats, hiking, biking.
Well, let's get down to who I am and what I am looking for. I moved to California from Detroit which, as you get to know me, explains a lot about me, in a good way of course! If you know someone from Detroit or even the midwest you probably know what I mean. I love going back to Detroit, it's so real and gritty (stop laughing). After law school, I started my own law firm to represent environmental groups that work to protect water quality.
I am an outgoing and social person. I like doing new things and exploring new places. I love sports, especially going to games, and football is my favorite, both pro and college. I appreciate sarcasm, and a good joke, and can offer up both myself.
I like an active, spontaneous guy who has a great sense of humor, and he has to be able to make me laugh. He has to be confident, and is not only not intimidated by a woman with opinions, but finds it attractive. I don't have a particular "type" of guy other than what I just listed.
Good luck, don't take this too seriously, and above all, have fun!

Date someone special from California, United States. me: affectionate, optimistic, creative, spontaneous.. love learning and exploring, cooking, traveling, troubleshooting, adventures, my bed after a long day.. I spend a lot of my time out and about creating a full life, but appreciate a cozy rainy day at home with good food, music movies.. i have one amazing 24 yr old son out on his own and involved in the music industry.. native new yorker, raised on both the east and west coasts. recently made a permanent move from NYC to SF. christian/jewish background - love God, can do without "religiousness." i'm outgoing and love meeting new people, but am ultimately interested in a meaningful relationship with one guy.. but enough about me..
you: a confident guy, comfortable with who he is, but doesn't take himself too seriously... genuine, says what he means and means what he says.. present and emotionally available... values integrity.. oh, and funny..i'm a sucker for funny.. especially someone who can roll with a little sarcasm.. (all of this can be expected from me as well :)

Meet a soulmate from United States. I come from a solid, loving, supportive family and had a fun normal upbringing. I am mainstream, easy-going, positive, funny, and family oriented...I work hard, volunteer, love to go out with friends and family. If you are looking for a skydiving partner, want to go clubbing until 4am, and/or travel to the far East for months on end, I am *not* the one for you. My ideas of a good time are simple and low-key... trying new restaurants, running on the beach, cooking...all the while having great conversation (I'm a great listener), and lots of laughs. I can even teach you how to do a headstand in yoga :)
I am looking for someone with a sense of humor, who is responsible, positive, career-focused, trustworthy, loving and family oriented.

Date a woman from United States. I grew up in San Francisco. I have lived in other cities for some time before moving back here 2 years ago.
Please only email me if you meet all my requirements.
I am looking for someone who is caring, romantic, well educated, intelligent, knowledgeable, enjoys outdoor activities yet cultural, well traveled, and responsible. Someone who is either a medical doctor or a lawyer.
I don't think I am too picky. I simply don't want to settle for less.

Meet someone special from United States. You might agree that the world is full of order that doesn't always deserve our respect... and have a desire to challenge it. Haven't entirely figured out the meaning of life but are having a heck of a time doing the research? Same here. You're confident and can change the energy of a party just by stepping into the room.
Maybe you could teach me how to play the banjo or ride a unicycle, and I'll wow you with my Spirograph skills.
You could kick it with me during an all day bender of mid-century design shopping or masquerading as a rich couple at multimillion dollar open houses in Pac Heights. In your book, beaches, beer gardens and hiking trails are all a little slice of heaven. Splurging on an amazing meal or aged bottle of whiskey wouldn't be entirely foreign to you.
You rarely wear socks, prefer flip-flops and your jeans are tattered on the ends from a lazy Sunday morning gait. You eat healthy, stay fit, and stretch your brain every once in a while. Your life is good; you've got a fulfilling job, supportive friends and room to add that special gal should she come along.
You get that attraction is there, or it isn't — no harm/no foul. Your tastes lean towards quirky looking girls with short hair. [me!]
I recently heard that the #1 turn-off for guys is chicks with tattoos, but you think that is a load of nonsense.
I'm forever the girl with sand between her toes, no matter how far I venture from the ocean. I've also been seen out and about in impossibly high-heels, so be warned.
I can often be found procrastinating over writing my novel, embracing the semi-colon, and shaking my fist at the rampant confusion over where the comma goes.
I run because it's good for me and the instructions are easy. Without my passport and live music I'd likely be curled in the fetal position on my couch stuffing chocolate covered gummy bears in my mouth. Recently moved back from London and after a few months of feverish decorating, I'm happily settled back into my San Francisco life.
Got distracted by all the amazing stuff out in the world and never got around to marriage or kids. My mastery of child-like curiosity would make me a rad step-mom to anyone bringing kids to the equation.
Life generally goes easy on me. Mostly casual and unscripted; it's busy and full sometimes, wonderfully quiet and calm others. I'm stoked about the life I have, but think I could dial it up to 11 by adding that special someone.

Date a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. New to the area via NYC, FL and some international locations. I haven't quite decided where I'll be located in the SFB area, so I'm still looking around for the appropriate town that suits me and my lifestyle best.
I've traveled the world and had my eyes, mind and soul exposed to many wonderful and enlightening experiences. I'd love to do it all again with someone special! I can be very serious (when it comes to business) and can equally be very silly at times (I'll share those stories later!).... I like to explore when I travel (some of my best experiences have come from "getting lost" in various cities or places) and that usually means some culture and learning are involved, along with some fun and laughter!
Have you ever seen "The Big Bang Theory"? Well, then you have a glimpse into my family and how I grew up - surrounded by geeks, nerds and over-achievers and yes, some of that environment rubbed off on me! I have very little baggage (literally) as I prefer a minimalistic living situation as to a house full of clutter. I travel light also, which is an amazing statement for a woman to make!
Here's what I find to be utterly irresistible in a man: one who can laugh with me at least once a day, intelligence, kindness to others, integrity, adventurous, witty, good communicator, manners, affectionate, diverse interests and experiences, and someone who has had a life well lived - yet craves for more ...
I'm looking for a man that doesn't tell me who he thinks he is, but a man who shows me who he truly is - - Actions are worth more than words to me. And I'm not looking to date a lot of men, just the right man...
Looking for a partner who wants to share some fun, travel and experiences together....could it be you???
A tidbit about me: I tried out for the Amazing Race in its 3rd year - got turned down because they said I had been to too many countries!! What?! They didn't think it would be challenging enough...I would have gotten lost, if it would have helped them! :)
P.S. My photos are dated and accurate. Sorry for the "professional" ones, but that's what happens when you have a photographer as a friend....they are always looking for subjects. However, it does typically lead to an afternoon of fun and laughter!!

Meet a woman from San Francisco, United States. About Me:
An optimist, I am passionate about making my life a creative fulfillment. I love appreciating music movies, traveling, reading, and exploring cultures and ideas. I also enjoy connecting with people and learning about the world around me. I have traveled most of the western Europe countries, Australia, New Zealand, NA, and SE Asia, and lived abroad a couple of times; those experiences were enriching.
I believe that romance happens in any age. I won't settle for a mediocre marriage that lacks romance.
I like Skiing, Pilate, Yoga, dancing, swimming, walking etg. However, I am more into indulging in artist retreats and establishing rhythmical practices that refill creativity. I also get bliss out dipping my hands into the soil of my backyard garden.
Wine, of course, is not just wine. Whatever your notion of wine is - the shades of quality, brands, regions, color, sweetness, dryness, and flavor... my pleasure of it is in the wine talks - the conversations, the liking of the people I am dining with, and the notion that it actually changes with the seasons, and the foods. Wine, perhaps just like the romance, is something thatРІР‚в„ўs evolving all the time ...
My work/career/craft have been really fulfilling and are keeping me self-actualized. Thrived in SVP of Marketing role in Internet business, I am now taking a more relaxed approach to business. A late bloomer in motherhood, I feel transformed by the experience. I enjoy my kid as well as romance. I am writing a business book, and working with clients in areas I am interested and passionate about.
About the One:
An enchanter? I like that, but an enchanter's power has limitation. A lasting relationship takes different kind of qualities -- "Emotionally available" is the only way to reap love's greatest rewards. We unleashed each other's greatness, bolster admirations for each other, and leave short, feeling love messages for each other when we're away.
Ideal Relationship:
Complete and utter comfort. We can be ourselves around each other without feeling judged. You can be working on your things while I do my reading or yoga posts and I'm entirely content. We make shopping and cooking together into plays; flirt and make out verbally and physically anytime and anywhere. Unparalleled companionship, unprecedented generosity and unconditional love grant us the foundation for a lasting long-term relationship.

Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. Do you love outdoors, sports, performing arts and travel? Are you sometimes spontaneous, sometimes predictable, romantic, caring and looking for a beautiful relationship? I hope you say YES to all, and I also hope that you like this athletic smiling guy that you see every day in your mirror.
About me. The basics that are obvious - 5'4", 125 lbs, fit, elegant, speaking with Russian accent. Great luggage of experiences and achievements from both countries - Russia and USA. I lived in SF for 22 years and love this city! I enjoy the one-day trips around the Bay and coming back to my foggy place. My house is warm, food is tasty and wines are good.
I like home cooking and I also like eating out. You can win my heart if you are good in BBQing as I never mastered in it. I jog a couple of times a week. Hiking together could be a great way to connect.
My career is in software quality assurance, and I work full time.
The pain of divorce lasted but it's gone by now. I miss a lot the relationships that are between the people in love. It would be great to meet a right guy (why not at MATCH?), fall in love again and enjoy great time together.
Answers to FAQ's: I was married to a Russian guy since 1988. In 1990 we decided to move to the USA. The marriage lasted for 20 years, and then it stopped working. My twins will be 10 soon.
I've never attended the match.com events - have you?

. I'm an east coast transplant, originally moved to to San Francisco in 1999. I Love life in the bay area. I made an attempt at moving to NY in 06 and lasted a year before moving back to the bay area for good.
I'm an active professional and enjoy the outdoors and spending time with friends and loved ones... skiing, hiking, and exercise. I've traveled extensively and love visiting destinations I've never visited before. I just retruned from Switzerland and Israel and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I'm an avid sports fan and still have an affinity for my east coast teams. I've been to the final four twice, the world series on several occassions, the super bowl and several Sharks playoff games. Remaining young and physically fit is very important to me.
I love to sing, but frequently get the words wrong and can't necessarily carry a tune.
I've been told I'm kind and generous, fun loving and energetic, silly at times and have a great sense of humor and am always up for an adventure. I'm willing to try most things once. I've jumped out of an airplane, tried hang gliding and other adventures. I am a big fan of the symphony, opera, ballet and theater.
I'm looking for someone to share life's big and small moments. And I'm hopeful that I can find a life-long relationship. I am still romantic and believe that it's possible to find romance, passion, affection and many other things in a relationship. I'd like to find someone who values family, friends and time spent with loved ones as much as I do. Someone who is intelligent, kind, and has a sense of humor.
I look forward to hearing from you.

. I am a professional woman, often described by others as attractive and cosmopolitan. I travel extensively, exercise regularly, and have a good sense of humor. I like traveling, movies, yoga, wine tasting, cooking, running, reading and writing. I love my friends and family and am passionate about my career. I am looking for someone to go out with, to come home to, and to travel with. Let's begin with coffee or lunch.

. I am curious about how this works and people I will meet :) Life is full of surprises! Hopefully the encounters will bring laughter, interesting conversations and great discoveries. I love travel, helping others and being inspired by good food, unique cultures, art and nature. Always appreciate thoughtfulness, friendship and idea exchange.
