Date women from United States / California / San Francisco, 49 year old - page 3

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Wait! No way! You're here on Match Dot Com too?! What a coincidence! Well, I'm certainly glad you found my little spot here - here's a short, but sweet, like me, overview of, well...Me.
I'm from India - as in I grew up there, but I'm not stuck there if you know what I mean: I've lived in the SF Bay area for around 10 years now and I love it and it's my permanent home; and I've been in the US for even longer than that. I have to "warn you" that I am an active girl that loves to be out and about - adventure for me could be something as simple as finding a great new dive restaurant with amazing food (I love trying new cuisines of all kinds), hiking someplace pretty or trying a new sport/activity in general, or, well, OK - climbing in the Swiss Alps! (you're bringing the oxygen - right? I'll bring the SherpaРІР‚в„ўs!) I love to laugh and an evening of good
food and a comedy club is a great night out! While I've done some international travel, there's a tonne of places I have yet to see... Together With You perhaps?
I'm being humble here when I tell you I am a fabulous cook - okay, maybe not so humble - work with me on this - with any luck, you'll get to be the judge of my kitchen skills: and yes, while I am an accomplished Indian food chef, I'd rather try something new and different - there goes that extension of "Adventure" again.
I love the arts - discovering new artists and visiting museums; learning about and listening to new music/performers too. I'd prefer to see a new indie or foreign flick, but as I am sure you're already thinking, have to get my ChixFlix time in from time to time too.
All these "adventuresome" things are so much sweeter and fun shared - I'm hoping to find a man who's honest, mature - but
still with that magical sense of "child-like curiosity" and lively spirit, who's got a genuine good sense of humor and is at his core, respectful of others and treats them well and with dignity. I've worked hard for what I have in my life, you have too but you also know and value the quality and benefits of a loving and mutually supportive relationship and that it's the quality time you make in your life that makes all that hard work worth the effort.
Thanks for the read-through - I hope it wasn't too long - quality is worth the effort - don't you think? So - take that keyboard
in hand and tell me both that you're interested and something about you - profiles are fine, but add some personal flavor to
it and chances are excellent I'll reply.

Meet a woman from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm a sensible, kind, intelligent, witty, down-to-earth, adventurous and playful chicky who loves life and all its blessed moments. I passionately embrace the present with spirit and spontaneity. My senses are fully engaged in unfamiliar environments that are colorful, captivating, heartfelt and amusing. I'm easily entertained by hole in the wall restaurants as long as the food is to die for, the dessert is to kill for (smiles) and the conversation is intriguing. I like to travel, but I also delight in life's simple pleasures, like walking through a crowd at a Grower's Market and observing the exchanges.
Sparks will fly if you're a gentleman who is thoughtful, noble, willing to help those less fortunate, witty, intelligent, spontaneous, adventurous, has a wicked sense of humor, loves to laugh, opens doors for his lady, can dance in the shower or under a full moon, doesn't mind corny movies, enjoys public and private display of affection and only has eyes for one chicky. It's a huge plus if you easily embrace different points of view, you're respectful, sensitive to people's feelings, patient, tolerant and non-judgmental. Lastly, we'll have tons of chemistry if you're a playful romantic, a snuggler and cuddler too.
FYI...
I'm formerly from Cali, but currently live in the PNW. I visit Cali frequently, so I'm including it as part of my fishing expedition. Don't let distance keep us from finding each other ;-)
I've been separated for awhile and we're still good friends. I have 2 beautiful college educated kids, lots of great memories and no regrets. Life is good!

Meet a soulmate from United States. Top of my life game here and now! Own a great home in SF. Having a fantastic sales year at work. In the best shape I have been in years and very happy with friends and life in general. I don't need a partner to support me, just to enjoy life as a team.
While on vacation a while back, surfing in El Salvador, I turned around to see a 9 foot bull shark feet away, fully surfaced....just checking me out. As we looked at each other eye to eye, I figured wow how many people will do this in a lifetime? It was a turning point experience and now that I am still here to talk about it, the shark was really beautiful.... just not hungry. My point is, life can throw surprises at you all the time, how you react, manage and handle those events, determines your ultimate strength and happiness.
I grew up in Maryland on a Chesapeake Bay Island. I am fascinated by ancient history and foreign events having lived in Naples Italy in High School, working/living in Genoa and doing business in Europe and the Caribbean. I am very ambitious and always strive for the greatest success in my career. I wish I could sing like Adele actually, but I don't, so business woman I am....
My friends describe me as down to earth, "younger than my age", kind hearted, ambitious, fun loving, well traveled, with an incredible appreciation and love for life. Every day is a new adventure for me and when I am not working or with friends, look for me outside in the mountains, woods, near an ocean, running, hiking or swimming. Beyond nature, I love the arts, music, travel, the simple things as well as the crazy off the wall first time ever experiences. My health and well being are truly important. I work out all the time and always will because exercise is a passion.
My pictures are from different periods of my life.
The man for me is worldly, intellectual, funny, ambitious, sporty and has passion for career, life, love, and family. He believes courtship on both sides is as important now as it is 20 years from now. Mutual respect, honesty and the ability to always communicate is key. His goal is to find what he perceives as a potential soul mate, focus on and explore that individual. He is out there...he just has not found me yet!

Date a woman from United States. I am a lady who enjoys travel, great food, people who care about the world and are actually doing something to make it better, and new challenges. I live a healthy lifestyle, exercise often, enjoy my career and the people that I work with immensely and have an artistic side to my personality. My perfect match would be someone who enjoys the excitement of a great sports competiton or a quiet moment enjoying the viewing of the great works of Picasso, Monet, or Bearden at a museum or gallery.
One of the great advantages in living in Northern California is the climate and all of the fantastic outdoor activities that are available. So.... hiking or boating in Tahoe, or running in the Bay to Breakers marathon have been annual favorite activites that I hope my perfect match might enjoy. I would enjoy cooking a great international meal for my match, accompanied by a great bottle of wine, and a warm romantic fire to surround us. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh, joke and see my match happy and giggling too. Communication and honesty are critical to a successful match and I know my match will appreciate those fine qualities in me ......... ;-) My last international adventure was India. Words cannot explain the beauty of this country and it's people.
There are so many great things to do in this life it is difficult to limit yourself by stating a few things. I am open to learning about my match and his interests. I know that I am open to the new challenges and activities that I have not yet experienced.
Anyway, I look ahead to the future where my perfect match will greet me with a smile, optimism, joy, peace, curiosity and a flair for adventure. I am someone who can intellectually challenge you, stimulate your senses and personality, someone who can make you laugh and someone who can fill your soul with harmony.
Can someone actually do that? Well let's find out...!
Sincerely,
Your perfect match ;-).........!

Date a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. I'm often mistaken for being younger than I am so it's a bit of a dilemma on this site. No matter, I know it's a cliche, but age is just a number and all about your state of mind. I tend to have a youthful approach to life, and expect that my partner shares the same outlook.
I have been happy in my solo life but feeling it might be even better with a partner and best friend to share in the joys of living and shared experiences. I have found that strong and enduring relationships are built on trust, a sense of humor and plenty of laughter, of being supportive in good and not so good times ....... with the main construct built on a chemistry with the other person. I want to light up someone's face when they see me and vice versa.
It's difficult to get a sense of a person on this site based on their multi-choice responses and commentary, let alone stand out of the crowd.....well I guess the profile pic is designed to do that..... but suffice to say I will try most things (well... that won't harm me), not a fan of camping, love to laugh and find the positive in most things in life, and I work out regularly and eat a healthy diet most of the time.
So if any of this is of interest and you're up for a new experience, it would be great to connect.
PS - first impressions make a difference so if you wish to connect please have a current photo on your profile or attach one in your message to me. And if you want to wink at me please follow up with a message too!

Meet a woman from San Francisco, United States. My boss loves to introduce me so she can tell people I used to manage rock bands.
I lived an LA / NYC bi-coastal life for many years. I left the music industry a few years ago after moving to SF. People always ask me if they would know any of the bands I managed. The answer quite possibly is yes. Today I live a less frenetic lifestyle but enjoy it just as much.
My previous work allowed me to the travel the world. While there are still many places I want to visit and places I canРІР‚в„ўt wait to get back to, at the moment IРІР‚в„ўm perfectly content to explore all Northern California has to offer. I love this part of our world! ItРІР‚в„ўs why I chose to live here. Yet my passport is current.
Other fun facts to know and tell:
My parents were born and raised in NYC. I was born in Austin,TX. Grew up in the Midwest. I call California home.
An early marriage taught me something important about myself: I like a man who is as comfortable with our time together as our time apart.
I now work at a small creative firm where I enjoy the people (and dogs!) that come to work each day. I feel very lucky to have found a new field I can be passionate about but not be bound by the 24/7 of my earlier career. At last, time to focus on other interests.
Music I love in no particular order: Xx, PJ Harvey, Joseph Arthur, Lykke Li, Led Zepplin, Neil Young, Ivy, everything Jack White, Billie Holiday, YYY's, Doves.
I love the ballet. San Francisco Ballet is one of the most amazing companies in the world. I promise not to make you go with me.
Important qualities in a partner: integrity, confidence, enjoying your career, and a sense of humor - though it doesnРІР‚в„ўt need to and probably shouldnРІР‚в„ўt be the stand-up comedy variety.
I don't understand the "winking" thing. If you're interested in making a connection, please send me an email to get the conversation started.

Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. Standing on the threshold of turning 50, I am looking for a partner to enjoy the outrageous adventures of a second act. Like many people our age who are looking to date, I am a wounded survivor who believes in love despite experience!
In the last few years I have toned down my lifestyle and weeded out belongings in favor of experience. Before kids, I lived abroad for years, traveled, taught SCUBA, worked in television and in many other jobs just out of curiosity. I am an entrepreneur in spirit and temperament. Perhaps you are too?
I love being outdoors and am in the market for a kayak. Had my best day ever on the slopes recently where my nine year old even said, "Mom, you're better than you think you are"! I'd like to learn kite boarding. Bought unicycles for me and both my kids this year.
Humor is important to me. I am especially fond of irony. In this age of endless information where the written word is everywhere, finding great writing is a thrill but can be as elusive as the perfect metaphor.

. I am a very mellow person. I dont need a father I just need a man who will treat me like a treasure.
I value myself and dont wish to be taken for a child. I need a man who will encourage me and support me. I am a very intelligent person and know alot about business and housing. I am a certified housing inspector as well as an energy specialist. Well versed in real estste. I want a man who is on the same wave length as me. I believe that our Father wants use to have all that we desire. My Daily Affirmation is: I Desire A Real Man that will treat me like a treasure.

. I am smart, physical, musical. I like my job, but resist the imbalance it tries to exert over my life. I need to stare into the distance from time to time.
I am looking for someone who is both very intelligent and very physical, an original thinker who knows how to do things with his hands (not all of them perverted). You cannot mind getting dirty. You must be funny (or at least realize I am). You have to say interesting things, and it would be nice if you could cook something delicious every once in a while. Or just take me out. You have to be brave enough to say you're sorry when you are, which isn't all that brave.
I am 5 and a half feet tall, blonde with grey eyes and a Greek nose. (Actually, someone pointed out to me recently that I've gotten away from the bright blonde. If it's important to you, and I like you a lot despite your superficiality, I can go back. (But you have to assume my mortgage.)) I'm slender and pretty strong. Absurdly strong, really. I love languages, art, music, trees, good conversation, black tea, night air, good books, red meat, making out in cars. I am pretty kind but I get impatient (at least on the inside) when people talk without exposing anything. I don't really watch television. (I bought one after Obama was elected, but I don't have that thing you need to watch it: an antenna? I'm open to getting one.) I love bad weather. I seldom drive, but am not indifferent to powerful engines. I have a seven-year-old daughter whom I adore. I am not looking for someone to help rear her necessarily. (She has a very devoted father.) I am looking for someone for me.
I swear a fair bit. (In 2010 I orchestrated a six-month stint of not working, and noticed I swore a lot less. I'm thinking about that.) I grew up on the east coast and tend to relate to other easterners, even if they maintain a symbolic resistance to yoga and organic food. (It's futile, dear; give in.)
I give money to Girls Inc., the SF Food Bank, and a bunch of environmental groups. If you don't believe in anthropogenic global warming, which has caused climate change, I'm probably not your girl. Unless you're awfully good in bed, in which case we can agree to disagree. Thanks for reading.
FINALLY: I know you're lovely, but please do not contact me if you are more than 54 years old--which is 2 years older than the oldest man I am "seeking" (see above). I will not write back. That said, I applaud your openness to vast age differences, and trust you are paying equal attention to the beautiful women 15 and 20 years older than you who also perceive themselves to be youthful and vivacious.

. I was born and raised in the South. Went to college at Wake Forest and made the best friends of my life! I lived in Atlanta for many years......never thought I would leave. Then I accepted a job in Denver (loved it there too) and then 4 years later, relocated to San Francisco for work. I live in Cole Valley and enjoy this neighborhood and the Haight. It's also nice to be in such close proximity to Golden Gate Park. I am a bit shy at first, but very social once I get to know people; also a bit mischievous in the right situation. I love to cook, enjoy movies, dancing, music (live is great); just hanging out and having beers (good beer) watching sports/or not is a favorite. I enjoy the outdoors and do some hiking (did 14ers in CO). I love to laugh and really enjoy myself with the right company. My friends and family are very important to me. I also love (and have) animals. My ideal match will be a gentleman (raised right)who is intelligent and ambitious, but not overly concerned with money. Sense of humor is extremely important, as I work hard, and when I am not working, I want to have fun! Obviously, he will need to be attractive to me and vice versa (completely subjective). A love (or extreme like) of the outdoors and animals is a good start. Good listening skills and a good memory are key. Also, the art of compromise should be well developed. I'd like someone with some regimen to their life, but not so much that they don't know how to be spontaneous. I'd like someone spiritual/religious, but not overly so; someone with a good sense of family and friends and also with good values and morals. Disagreeing can be enlightening and interesting if you are open-minded and intelligent!!
