Meet single man from California, United States. Hi, Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are doing well and are not stuck looking for men on the internet... I've tried this after being married for 30 years and not 'dating' during that time. I really find this on-line 'dating' thing a really difficult way to meet people. Somehow, for me, it leaves out most of the chemicals that make up the chemistry we are looking for. Alas, my subscription has passed and I think I am taking a break to try the traditional route. If you really want to meet a nice guy like me, you need to get out of the house, take off your headphones and do something different...
A letter to Dear Abbey the other day; A woman and her friends were lamenting they couldn't find any guys and wanted to know where all the single men hang out. Abbey had it pretty right on. Nice guys are out there doing the same things you are; working, providing their basic needs, recreating, mingling. You can find me at the Coffee shop, in the Store, on the Trail and at the Farmers Market. You can find me out at the Bahia Wetlands helping to restore native species or working on the Water District Trails. Be open when I ask about those unripe Avocados, or go ahead, tell me the Shirt I am looking at is horrible. Ask me to join in with your hiking group or stop and talk on the trail.
I don't think I will 'find' what I seek by 'looking' on the internet; you are all so beautiful, I can't put the pictures and words together. I need to sense the whole package. I am seeking something deeper than cyber space can provide. I've seen all your profiles so I know you must be out there. You will know me by my awkward opening line ;-) See you soon...
Now the typical stuff...
About me… I am a well-mannered, nice-guy type. When I was married I used to get the '…all the good ones are taken…' line at parties. I am athletic and toned; not ripped. Yeah, I have a little insulation around my six-pack. I don’t have much hair, but have been told I have a nice head. My eyes might be failing, but I can still see how beautiful you are. I have older kids and do not want to start over. My kids are 19 yo twins and a 16 yo, all boys. I am good with kids and they seem to really like me; I have been a well-respected Soccer coach for many years. If you have older kids, that seems like a bonus. I would certainly be interested in an extended family situation…
About you… You are smart and know a good thing when you see it. You are generally content with your current life, except for that one special person to share those intimate desires and dreams with (or you wouldn’t be here I suppose). You are petite, slender, fit, athletic and take care of your mind and body. You are willing to take a chance on meeting someone, even if it doesn’t work out. You dream of your future; possibly moving to the French country side or a New Zealand vineyard, perhaps. Maybe you want to stick around here; whatever it may be, you want someone you feel safe and secure with to share your dreams and desires, to listen and reflect, to laugh and cry…
I am a simple, honest, malleable, genuine and authentic Man; my heart is open to you...
There is plenty of other information on this site for you to decide if you want to contact me; I added notes everywhere I could. If you really want to �find’ someone that is truly interested in a full, passionate and deep relationship, then get yourself out there and change your luck; maybe we will meet up by chance? We will never know unless we meet in person, don’t you think?
Well, since you pretty much know me already :-)… what is stopping you? Hope to hear from you soon!

Date men and women from California, United States. To get this started, I'll use their questions of inspiration.
My friends would describe me as a heavy thinker on complex topics but light in spirit that loves to laugh and play and not take myself too seriously.
Things that strike me as absurd or off the wall strike me as funny and make me smile or LOL.
I am a scientist and am driven by research and the need to Know. I have a need to see and understand what others haven't seen yet. My current focus is the molecular biology of cellular communication and how it is related to health, life, disease and aging.
I am also interested in philosophy and metaphysics and particularly Hellenistic religions, 500 BCE to 500 CE.
I am proud of starting my own R&D company, against all odds in an industry dominated by the chemical & pharma giants. I have found a way to carve a niche.
I am proud of having just been invited to speak in Italy at a conference of world class scientists and for digging out some buried research from 57 yrs ago that was poorly documented. This has been a 10 year project and big progress was just made in Napoli and Rome.
I'm grateful for another breath, another day, my health, my dogs, red wine, living in Marin and my work.
I am interested in meeting a woman who is also driven by a cause or a passion and not jealous of my focus on work. I want to leave something behind when I check out that future researchers can build on. I really believe that we give our own life meaning and should try to make some contribution to the collective that outlives us.
I am most passionate about all the things mentioned above.

Meet a woman from California, United States. The movie of my life (so far) plays like this...
My character: full of life, physically fit, balances a dual role as an environmental attorney (by day) and a mom (by night).
I am Midwest-raised and Ivy-educated but California-based for over twenty years. I combine honesty and unpretentiousness, critical thinking and and skepticism, and Bay Area creativity and open-mindedness. I am humorous and love being around people and situations that make me laugh. I have close relationships with each of my siblings and a number of friends. I have a big heart.
I crave the outdoors and physical activity, and I enjoy the night sky, intelligent and fun conversation, listening to music, playing piano and board games, books, nice wines, movies, ping-pong, water-skiing, and travel. I take time to slow down and look within, and I approach life with gratitude. My house is filled with warmth, lots of laughter, and the energy of my two active and hilarious daughters, ages 12 and 17, and their two cats.
Everything in my action/comedy movie is going well and is great fun, and then in walks…you.
Your character: my co-star --we share the leading role. You are intelligent, fit, sophisticated but unpretentious, generous in spirit, and kind. You probably have to juggle your professional and home life (you are a dad) or admire and are close with a working parent who is a sister, brother, or close friend. You are energetic and get a big kick out of children. Part of what defines you is your high integrity. You are affectionate and have a great sense of humor.
You are a great partner -- the kind of man you would want your favorite sister or best woman friend to find. You have been waiting for someone like me to be your co-star. We find each other and... we can write the rest of the script together.

Date a soulmate from United States. Ever wonder "How did I get into this situation?" I've come to the realization lately that "defecation occurs" - just laugh about it. I try my best to see the sunny side of life. I have a great love for animals and other vulnerable creatures. I would rather be outdoors than indoors whether it's bicycling, gardening or beach combing. I love my job, do it well and like to think I make a difference. I am looking for a down to earth guy who is emotionally stable with a good sense of humor. Obviously that isn't everything, but it's a good beginning.
