Date men from United States / California / Santa Clara, 52 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. About Us:
Would you be a partner with me and help me do the following for you and the world!
1. Can we listen and provide what the other person needs and not what we think or desire the person to want or have.
2. Can we remind each other to love the world and love the people we dislike or hate as we love each other.
3. Can we love, create and nurture something bigger then each of us or both of us together.
These 3 tenants seem like a prescription for long-term happiness.
About You:
When I think hard about how I've evolved and what is important for lifelong partner compatibility, I come up with the following very short and simple description:
"Seeking a vegetarian/vegan who is kind, grateful and funny".
Kindness and a sense of profound gratefulness are by far the 2 most important qualities. These 2 core qualities are eminently more important to me than your preferences for entertainment, hobbies, etc.
About Ron:
I'm a very odd combination: very success orientated and very spiritual. I can bond deeply with a woman who also has some of both qualities.
I am Italian, originally from New York and have a very strong sense of family and friends. However, I am not the traditional Italian man you think you may know. No macho charade...I do Yoga, meditate and can laugh at myself and can crack you up in a NY minute and when you need it most. I am not a New Yorker turned California wimp boy. You know the type...calm, soft spoken, spiritual, moves slowly, would never be direct, let's you get away with anything...no that's not me.
I have east coast energy, deep presence and wild passion for all that I decide to focus on in life. But, I ignore a lot of things like TV, spectator sports, drinking alcohol, eating processed foods and mainstream commercialism. No, I am not a goody two shoes. I just have a razor sharp mind. I also have a deep focus on the present moment...moment after moment. I've learned from the past and also don't focus on the future.
During the week, I am a hard working CEO of a very successful software company that I founded over a decade ago. On weekends, you're likely to find me at a lecture learning something new, reading an outstanding book, salsa dancing, or spending time in nature doing nothing. The "end game" of each and every one of my days is just "happiness" and know that nothing outside of me can truly bring me happy....including you :) It comes from within...just a choice. Do you get that?
Over a decade ago, I decided to give up caffeine, alcohol and meat as a 30 day experiment after a Tony Robbins seminar. But, I never ended the experiment :) I did it for general health and to better respect all animals that I love. I am not an alcoholic or have a drinking problem. I still enjoy a glass of wine on occasion, but it's generally rare that I drink.
I don't look or smell like a hippie, but my thinking/habits are not mainstream. I eat 75% raw foods/mostly plants, meditate most days, read 3-4 books/month and disconnected my TV 4 years ago to minimize commercialism.
Warmly,
Ron

Meet single man from California, United States. I am both a right and left brained man. That is rare in men I am told. That lets me see the big picture and get the nuts and bolts of things. I tend to put things together quicker then most, possibilities and situations. But for most people it takes them some time to trust I can do that. I can be too nice at times, but that is a choice. Friends say I can't be evil but if it were possible they are glad I am on their side.
I hope we can communicate well, that you get who I am a little, and you like things about me, and I can make you laugh. The rest is a plus.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I've been very fortunate with running my own business. I’m also a dad and I really enjoy a good round of golf. Tahoe is one of my favorite places.
I love a good poker game, snow skiing, watching football, and meeting new people; all kinds. I have been very lucky to make some great friends over the years. I am close to my family and they are all very important to me.
What am I doing on Match? Well, I’d like to meet an attractive quality woman. And when I talk about quality, I'm talking about more than just beauty. I'm talking about intelligence, character, confidence, charm, and kindness. Also, a good sense of humor is important to me.
I'd really like to find a genuine, especially cool, above average woman. I like a woman who enjoys taking chances, who is spontaneous, and who is fun just hanging out with. No pressure. No expectations.
I’m not looking for someone to “fall in love" with on the first date, but I sure would enjoy exploring some possibilities. Chemistry and attraction occur naturally. I believe in letting nature take its course. What ever happens is meant to be.
