Date men and women from United States / California / San Mateo, 33 year old

Date single man from San Mateo, United States. Hey there, thanks for swinging by. You are now automatically entered into the grand prize drawing.
I think I've figured out the purpose of this profile. It's like an essay for college. Your GPA (stats) and SAT scores (pics) are the bulk of the evaluation. The profile can rule someone out, but rarely rule 'em in. So I figure as long as the grammar is acceptable, Houston we are GO!
In all seriousness, I have a wonderful family, good friends, and a great calling for work. I aspire to live and grow just a few micrometers every day by a few principles: 1) Do good for the world (wouldn't everything be better with more random acts of kindness); 2) Learn something everyday (did you know Jack Daniels doesn't stay lit? Never knew...); 3) Invest in people and relationships (some evidence it helps reduce mortality); 4) Laugh as much as possible (that's free advice with a money-back guarantee). I figure if I can manage that while getting as much sun and exercise as possible, I should be good to go. Where to, I do not know... Want to come with?
So if you have taken your fair share of punches and rolled through 'em all, if you've stopped by to smell the roses even though you're late, if you appreciate genius yet find joy in the mundane, if you always want to go to the head of the roller coaster, if you take yourself seriously enough to snicker at the mirror... I say don't be shy. I think we'd get along just fine.

Meet someone special from San Mateo, United States. I have lived in the Bay Area for much of my life, other than the years I went to school in SoCal. So I'm as close as one can be to being a Bay Area native without being born in the area.
I am a patent attorney. Lots of writing and reading. As you might expect, I have high expectations for good grammar, spelling, and the like. I practice fencing and plan on taking up shooting again after a long hiatus (thank you Top Shot for the inspiration!). Given all this, you might say that I am "wen wu shuang quan." (Good for you if you can figure out what this Chinese phrase is.)
I generally prefer home/indoor comforts and activities, but I also appreciate the occasional outdoor getaway (e.g., hiking).
I have what you might call an anti-sweet tooth. I don't like candies and most desserts.
Written words can only go so far to describe you and me. It is essential that we chat and meet in order to get to know each other fully. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!

Date men and women from San Mateo, United States. I come from a family-oriented Christian Lebanese culture. My family - parents, siblings, nieces and nephew - are extremely important to me. I have always been career-focused, at times excessively so, but have learned to balance my professional with my personal life. I've been to grad school twice (Berkeley, Stanford) and work as a high-tech entrepreneur. I love the freedom of being able to dedicate my time to building products that make a huge impact.
Keeping fit is very important to me. I grew up obsessed with sports (tennis and basketball) but my time on the court is limited these days. I do challenging workouts (Crossfit!), strenuous weekend hikes, and the occasional yoga session.
Some of my favorite activities include wine tasting with friends, trying out new restaurants, and spending hours on end at any coffee shop with free wifi and a clean bathroom. I have had the opportunity to visit over 20 countries as part of my first job and I love meeting people from different places of different cultures than my own.
I am looking for someone who is genuine, sincere, communicative and honest (almost to a fault). Someone who is close to her family, dedicated to her career, likes to keep fit, and is generally positive/happy. Someone who has an intellectual curiosity for anything and is capable of speaking passionately about it. Icing on the cake if you like deep spiritual or philosophical conversations. These qualities are very attractive to me.

Shaun.

Date people from San Mateo, United States. I am fairly new to online dating, and in some ways new to the area after having spent a long time outside of here due to educational and professional opportunities, ~10 years. I realize and appreciate that finding a match is "magical" and hard to find especially as we get older. Of course, I have a desire to meet my "best friend and lover," but I will equally appreciate meeting some new friends who I am attracted too. However, FYI: Asking me if we can be friends with benefits or talking to me like we are already in a romantic relationship turns me off. I would like to get to know prospective relationship candidates or handsome fellas who respect women, who are semi-old fashioned, who are talented and interesting. --A dynamic where we both find pleasure in a cerebral context, where we can just hang out and be happy together, just being... About me...I consider myself a true "Bay-Area Girl" but I have lived in the East Coast, Midwest, and the South. Family and educational opportunities led me to those places, but somehow I always end up back here :) The things I value are family, fun, education, hard work, curiosity, completing goals, honesty, and loyalty. I work part-time as a pharmacist. Other ways that I enjoy to fill my time w/ are through music, exercise, movies, nice places to eat, live entertainment, and treating myself to massages and facials...I enjoy the niceties of life. I have also traveled a lot and enjoy traveling. I would like to travel with a my future companion. I am a dynamic personality yet easy going. I like to try new things that improve my soul and understanding of the world.
My goal with match is to find a good guy that is honest and trustworthy who is willing to be in a relationship. He needs to be a good listener and a good friend. I am willing to date guys between the ages of 28 and 36.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hello there!
I am a romantic at heart when one gets to know me, but I am also someone who likes challenges and does not succumb to the quiet lifestyle of the typical Asian girl. I was born here in the US so I'm a mis-mash of two cultures. I enjoy activities such as hiking, cycling, dancing (tango, salsa, or swing), horseback riding (if anyone is up for it), hitting museums, food trucks, day trips, or traveling across the world. Right now I would love to be sitting on a beach with a nice book or scuba diving with wonderful marine life. I work so that I can play and I am hoping that one day, I can share this with a partner as well.
I envision my future mate to be thoughtful, respectful, and a great communicator. Chemistry and attraction is always a must, and I am open that it can be immediate or grow over time. I'm not looking for casual flings, but for someone who is also looking for something long-term. Being open and willing to learn about other cultures is also important to me. My family and my culture plays an important part of my life. Being physically active is also important as its great for one's health.
Drop me a line if anything of the above draws your attention :-)

Date someone special from California, United States. Well, hello!
I am a recent transplant to the west coast by way of Chicago and Florida, but I was born in South Carolina and still consider myself a Southerner:) You want good grits and cornbread... lets talk!
Moved out here for work and really love the lifestyle. I take a great deal of pride in my career and I am very passionate about what I do. I live by the saying work hard play hard so I am equally as passionate about running (I have to run 6 miles a day as my stress relief:), my adorable yet vocal beagles, all things political (in a given day I listen to NPR, Rachel Maddow, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin.. all over the map, I know!)
I am looking for an equally driven man who also is passionate about a great deal in life and wants someone to share it all with... couldnt be more cliche, huh!
