Date men and women from United States / California / San Rafael, 46 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Personally, I like to explore and discover, which the Bay is great for on several levels. I've gotten to know quite a bit of it, from Marin, SF and Silicon Valley, and plenty more. My center-of-gravity seems to be SF, but I like my space and nature right across the bridge to live in. I spend way too much time at a desk so I will take any excuse to get up and out and need a sense of adventure in my partner as well. I'm in-shape (and need someone to help me get even better), stocky but that's all muscle which you are welcome to verify personally. I've got a high metabolism with various benefits, but I do know when to slow down ;-) A sense of humor, artistic and scientific mindset, rock and electronic musician, pilot, B2B entrepreneur, designer and publisher, and various other talents. That's what brought me to CA way back when, freedom, creativity and opportunity and it still continues, especially when the right woman enters the picture.
Professionally, I'm a B2B entrepreneur that puts together my skill sets of hands-on biz mgnt, plus advertising and design, plus a desire to help out locally. Hopefully I've become wiser over the years and now place value on participating in worthy causes, healthy habits, and I have been domesticated. My time in the Bay Area (and a Bush admin) has turned me deep blue and I'm very much a feminist as well. Looking for a real friend and partner and perhaps a great deal more, who can appreciate an aficionado of truth and beauty, a true nonconformist, an artist and entrepreneur with a soul who can run a Drum Circle or a Chamber of Commerce meeting. I'd like to make some positive kharma and would love your help ;-)
What I'm really looking for is my Equal and Opposite, the Yin to my Yang, the half to make a whole. There are the basic physical requirements of keeping yourself in-shape, but that works both ways. I have been lucky to have been in longterm relationships with attractive, professional women so I'm still hoping for the best of both worlds. I do live in Marin by choice after exploring half the US, so I certainly have an appreciation for comfort, style and the finer things in life, especially the Bay Area. Just so you know, I'm not a fan of shallow pretentious types (which Marin and Silicon Valley are famous for) but if you have a real soul, then let's talk. Beyond that, I'm looking for someone original, a creative type, who knows there's much more to life, and open to new ideas and experience. I do know what's possible when a "Mutual Appreciation Society" is in full bloom, personally and professionally - inspiration is a wonderful thing! Magic happens ... that's why I'm here.

Meet people from California, United States. I'm and optimist who focuses on the steps necessary to make things happen. I enjoy socializing/networking and meeting new people that may/may not share my interpretation of the world so that I can expand my horizon. I'm attracted to women with bright smiles, radiant personalities and passionate sensuality. If you have these qualities, I may compliment them, not as a come on but simply to let you know that I noticed. May end there, or more may follow.
Grew up in NYC (Manhattan), lived in Ithaca, Key West, Austin, Dallas, Moscow (Russia) and the Bay Area (done moving!). Travelled for work: Hong Kong, Caribbean, most major cities in U.S. and Mexico for pleasure Spain, France, UK.
Looking to meet someone to get to know as a basis for a great relationship that will include all the common things everyone wants (and maybe a couple extra :)
Not a fan of meeting for drinks and getting interrogated. Yes the purpose would be to get to know a little more about each other and see if there is a mutual interest in seeing each other again.
More to this profile later.........

Date men and women from California, United States. People tend to describe me as someone who isdevoted to his friends and family, has a positive personality, and an inquisitive mind. I create pretty good karma for myself, and I'm a straight-forward communicator with no drama and b.s.. I'm looking to eventually find a long-term relationship, if there's a true match. Along the way I hope to find some activity partners, friends, romance, and whatever is in between.
What I'm looking for in a woman: she's intelligent, charming, truly loyal, beautiful, and loves that I'm into playing music. She'll appreciate that I'm loving and fiercely loyal to her. She's secure and trusting, 'cause so am I. She smiles easily, and loves that I make her laugh.
I believe in honesty. I'd say this profile is the "real" me, and nearly all the photos are within just the last few months; a few from a year ago.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Amazing - so I am clicking away to cancel my membership - just like I promised I was gonna, and boom! They offer 3 mos for the price of one! Give us another chance they tell me! Who passes up such a deal? So now we can relax for a while. Take your time. mull it over. It's a big decision sending an email to a total stranger. Me, I say go for it! I promise you wont be sorry. Well you might be. What do I know? This whole thing seems so freakish and wrong not to mention personal and impersonal at the same time. I feel like I'm in a window with all the other puppies. A bit about me - OK, here goes...I am self sufficient, grounded, somewhat shy at first, dog loving, pretty pale, and can cook when needed. I clean up okay but prefer jeans and a tee - my Save Ferris tee ha! Seriously, not in public. What I am not is tall, so you don't have to be tall, but you can't be too short because I really need you to reach for stuff on the top shelf and change light bulbs and make sure the top of the fridge isn't disgusting. I have a beautiful dog, Kaya(boogie). She is a pit lab mix, who is oddly particular about who she likes. But she loves her ball unconditionally - so if you want her to like you, you will need to toss the slimy ball.. Sound fun? Some more about me.. and this turned out to be very stream of consciousness, so forgive me if it wanders a bit... I love most music with the exception of most rap and hip hop and 'new country.' Give me some Lyle Lovett.. and I'm a happy girl. I also love Blues and will also admit to having some 80's pop and some Eminem mixed in with my Counting Crows and David Gray. I believe you are what you eat and you should stick with the good stuff most of the time, but you should indulge when it's really worth it. I believe most everything boils down to respect. If you respect youself and everyone else, you should be fine. And yes, most everyone deserves respect. I love funny. Funny movies, people, jokes, whatever. But funny is subjective and not everying is funny; i.e, It is still too soon for Chalenger jokes. I love Kimmel, Stuart, Colbert and Proops. What else? I need to have a clean house. I like to get it done as quickly as possible, but it has to be done. I hate to grocery shop, but I love going to Costco. I love to read but it makes me sleepy. I love my friends, but spend most of my free time with my dog. I love to sleep in, but I hate to waste the day. I love good coffee and could drink it right up to when I go to bed. I don't, but I could. I jumped out of a plane once and foud it was not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be. I went to Europe and it looks just like the pictures only waaay more scaffolding everywhere. Looks like their remodeling. I have never been camping or horseback riding but would like to try both. And hang gliding. And I want to learn to ride a motorcycle and scuba dive. I would like to meet someone who I want to spend time with doing all those things or just being quiet. If you can 'be' in the quiet together, there is a good chance you are with the right person. If any of this sounds appealing, please send me a quick note. I hope to hear from you.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a positive, affectionate native Californian who enjoys hiking, animals, exploring, reading, movies, cooking, music and socializing. I grew up in the South Bay, lived in San Francisco for 14 years moved to Maryland for 3 and then came back to CA. I enjoy travel and leaning about new places and people but don't get the change to travel like I would like. I find it hard to meet people as I have worked from home full time for the last four years since moving back to CA. I have two smart and wonderful daughters and love to hang out and have fun with them and their friends - I love the energy and curiosity of children. They keep me young and I have learned so much about myself from raising them. I share them 50% with their dad and we have an amicable relationship.
When I don't have my children, I take my dog out hiking or meet up with friends or family. I love to hang out with people who are positive, passionate, affectionate and like to talk. I'm the seventh of eight children and am a good listener. I don't like excessive drama or pressure which I sometimes get from my family, but family is very important to me. I believe in being loyal to the ones we love and care about. I enjoy my alone time but like to balance that out with being with people or that special someone. I try to fit in exercise whenever I can and being healthy is important. I recently learned to paddle board and loved it and looking forward to going again.
I'm looking for someone who is friendly, affectionate and adventurous. I think chemistry takes more than 5 minutes to figure out in many cases. Some of my most favorite people are those I wasn't sure I liked the first time I met them. So, I guess I believe in 2nd chances.

Meet someone special from United States. I could be described as an intelligent, caring woman with a zest for life and a knack for balancing the feminine with tomboy. My nature is to look at the glass as half full, and I strive to surround myself with folk that are willing to own their 'stuff' and work on it as well. I'm a mixture of old school traditions with a well-mannered upbringing, while also being open minded and accepting of others. I have friends from all 'walks of life', and I'm not afraid to go against the grain if I believe in something strongly. Connecting with nature, staying in shape and being active are very important to me. My son is four years old, and he is a huge part of my life obviously.
I am looking for a relationship built on respect, compassion, thoughtfulness, and laughter. I am looking for a man who is sweet, empathic, and fun - someone who also has an edge (reformed bad boy? :). He's in good shape, takes care of himself, treats people well, and honors his word (last two can be a tall order for some ;). He's a family man, has great friends in his life, and loves kids. I look forward to relaxing together, getting silly, going deep, keeping it light, making each other's lives sweeter, and falling in love. I am ready to love that special someone with every ounce of my being and to give myself completely.

I am considered a "social change agent" by thousands I've never met, but I'm ready to change YOUR world now that IРІР‚в„ўve given voice to countless kids and helped improve their lives. I've been so fortunate to create nourishing work that feeds my heart and soul this past decade, but it's time to shift my attention to finding that special man who truly lights my fire.
13 years of yoga have given me a mean backbend and a patient, open heart. My travels have taken me from the rice paddies of Bali and the safaris of South Africa to the castles of Ireland and the beaches of Costa Rica, Mexico and Hawaii. The world is our oyster, and I'm ready to explore so much more of it once I find my man with a plan (and a map!). I just love a man with a plan (most women do).
