Date men from United States / California / San Rafael, 45 year old

Date a man from California, United States. "There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me." -John Erskine
My life has always been characterized by the unconventional and improbable. And yet my highest aspiration has always been balance and tranquility. I have known great loves, great losses, great successes, and great failures. Friends who know me well would each have a different perspective but would all agree that I am the guy they can count on in a pinch, that I am a loving and devoted father, and that have a unique sense of individuality that defies any stereotype. They know me to be a peaceful gentleman of refined taste and yet able to passionately stand up for things and people that I care about.
I enjoy a creative career in which I have had the privilege of collaborating with scientists, authors, composers, directors, and other artists. In my travels, I have signed autographs for crowds of art lovers in Tokyo, climbed on the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to get just the right photograph, swum in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Atlantic, and Pacific, buzzed the treetops of the Costa Rican jungle in a small plane with a drunken pilot, played blackjack in Monte Carlo, among countless other adventures. A trip to Burning Man reminds me of my childhood and an evening at the opera reminds me of how far I've come.
About this peculiar process, it is not Amazon or eBay. and we are not products. This is simply a forum for communication between flesh and blood human beings. We can navigate this experience with a sense of humor and compassion for each other, even when there's no connection.
Declaring a required laundry list of virtues and interests is predictable and ultimately meaningless. A person's character is revealed not in a sales pitch but in their actions. This takes time to really see. I often say that finding the right person begins with BEING the right person. How often we seem to forget that. Who wouldn't want intelligence, beauty, health, success, humor, kindness, and a dozen other desirable attributes? Rational thought has great value in just about every area but that unpredictable matter of mutual chemistry. We just know it when it happens. All that follows is the adventure of discovery. It is like a rare astronomical event, but it only takes one. If it were too easy then we wouldn't appreciate it, which I suspect is the reason for so many failed relationships. With luck, the discovery will be that rare kind of connection in which both feel equally fortunate to have found the other. No games, no rules. Just the deepest of connections in which we know that we will share the richness of our lives. Until then, I wish each visitor a pleasant journey.
P.S. I was really born in 1960 but fudged the number a little to attract more suitable matches. No misrepresentation intended.

Meet someone special from California, United States. LOOKING FOR PARTNER FOR LIVE. MUST BE SPONTANIUOS AND FUN. LOOKING FOR LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP. LOVES TO TRAVEL, DINE AND ENJOY GOOD FOOD AND WINE AND THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE. I ENJOY TO COOK AND HOPE YOU ENJOY. LOVE TO SPOIL MY LOVEONE

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I believe happiness can endure from a soul that can nurture, but allow another to still have their independence. I also think laughter is a healing art. It is wonderful to have dreams and a strong sense of responsibility, but not take oneself too seriously. At the end of the day though, love is the most important thing in life. It is this which inspires, creates dreams, heals and allows us to forgive. Life is a path which can have boundless joy and unexpected challenges. How we react in the face of great adversity, allows the greatest part of us to be experienced. We are all constantly learning and it is the peace within this process, I believe, that can bring sustainable joy.
I'm looking for someone who loves life and laughter. Someone who has big dreams, but realizes the little things in life matter most. Like a kiss, warm embrace or someone who can appreciate the soft spoken words that everything will be okay and that they are loved; especially in the times a partner may need support. I'm looking for somebody who loves and appreciates family, as well as a warm beautiful home to share with friends. Someone who enjoys rainy days indoors, as much as being outdoors and near the ocean. Someone who is loyal and cherishes the potential of a life partner, who will be there at all times-good, or bad.
I've got a good wit and have learned the value of family, friends and love. Am well educated, athletic and love the outdoors. I also appreciate the beauty of art, in all forms. I have a special interest in art/photography and literature. I very much enjoy watching someone putting great love into something they are passionate about and watching their dreams unfold. When not at work, I enjoy the outdoors and spend time volunteering on a not-for-profit Board. I can say that my initial idea of making a match here, versus just bumping into that special someone, is something that tested my romanticism. However, am open to the experience and decided to give this a fair chance.

Meet single man from California, United States. Where Caveman meets S.N.A.G. (sensitive new age guy) !
My friends were calling me Baby Sasquatch for awhile :))).....Well trained around the house....Sweet and sensitive nature lover, athlete, father. I am successful, stable, generous,intuitive, expressive and adventurous. One of the good ones.... spend free time exercising, exploring nature and city, restaurants, movies, music and dancing.
I am simple and honest and prefer down to earth relaxed people. I believe in long term committed relationship and know from experience that is where the goodies are. I am a peaceful romantic.
But enough about me.....
I am open to whoever the universe brings me but I believe I am most compatible now with a sweet, independent, and simple woman who likes lots of attention and affection. I am looking for a beauty (inside and out) who is making her own way in the world. Best match will be: playful, loyal, peaceful, honest and interested in a committed relationship. Prefer quiet passion over loud drama. Are you subtle, soft, introspective and kind? ( Bonus points for an interest in fitness and healthy lifestyle.)
I have a lot of tenderness to give to the right woman.
