Date men from United States / California / San Francisco, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have a very successful career in the business world, a BIG sense of humor and love to have fun. I am energetic, live life to the fullest and have an extremely optomistic outlook on life. I also have a compassionate side. Out of my accomplishements over the years, I am most proud of my 16 year old daughter. I feel as though I have led a very blessed life to this point and really have no regrets. I am excited and curious about what the future holds. I split my time between San Francisco and my house in the Sacramento area. Born and raised in Upstate NY, been in CA since 1980 with a 5 year "break" to Colorado. I have travelled extensively outside the US.I am excited to meet my soulmate. She has a positive outlook on life, is confident, spontaneous, loves traveling/nice hotels (ask me why) and is affectionate. She can appreciate and love a caring, sensitive man and knows how to be completely honest and open with herself and her man.
Are you my type? Let's get together!

Meet a man from California, United States. Ah, the challenge: describe oneself. Well.....I live in Old Town Alexandria, although because my business manager/accountant in San Francisco (area code 94111) pays my credit card, Match lists me in that area code. I'm indeed in the movie business, so people always ask, "Why are you not living in LA?". Well, I currently, I'm involved in a movie that will be shooting in Europe plus other films and TV, so it was easy for me to spend here. I do have a second residence in San Francisco, which I do not frequent much anymore. That's my geography. Now for my soul: I hope that you find me compassionate, interesting, and special. I have had a great ride through life - fine upbringing, good education, and a fairly fascinating career that has allowed me to see many things and meet fabulously interesting people - some I'd like to see again, and others...well...whoa (behind every People Magazine profile is an adventure!). Oh, also since some women ask why if I'm a film director I'm not dating actresses, etc. Well, I don't date anyone I work with or have the potential to work with - simple as that. Of course, that makes me a "big brother" to some, and when they get in trouble or challenged, I get the panicked phone call. I also do not gab to the press, which makes me a target for referrals....so I get panicked phone calls from people I don't even know! True! LOL.
Let's see, background? Grew up in Europe (American parents), lived in Hawaii and California, as I've mentoned. While I've spent a lot of time in the Washington DC, I do have a "Western spirit" - a little more smile with even serious things, which hopefully you'll enjoy. Should I go back to talking about profession? OK, just a bit. While I am in a creative field, I'm not the beatnik, indie-film-scrapping-by type. You probably can tell by my photo, I wear ties to meetings (hey, we're spending loads of money, so we should show respect to people writing the checks). I love what I do; my work is fun and affords me the finer things in life, and that's what sets the next paragraph up.
I am looking for a (wonderful) person, someone who is accomplished in her own right and is comfortable (and enjoys) a sophisticated lifestyle. I'm certainly not looking for a "trophy"...rather an equal, a true partner in life. Someone who will enjoy new pursuits, both professional and personal. A serious relationship (please, no serial daters). (I'm on match.com in order to spread my "opportunity circle", as someone called it, as I don't date employees, clients, or friends of either.) I also hope to find someone NOT AFRAID of commitment. My heart's been broken enough by a serious relationship or two when an extraordinary woman just can't pull the trigger for marriage. I am the type that when I fall in love, I give my all. There is a lot of vulnerability in that. One of my business partners said that I should play hard to get, that a woman wants a little bad boy somewhere in the soul. I told her (my biz partner; both partners are female) that it would be unfair to do so; why lure someone with being unlike who I truly am. So I don't play that game. I may be a complex fit - especially in the D.C. area - because I'm fun and witty and hopeful, plain full of life and smiles while at the same time doing serious work (I take the movies we're making as important efforts because whether it's a drama or comedy - we have both - all our work can enlarge an audience's sympathies). I'm a romantic - sometimes naively so, but I wouldn't want to change me. Anyway, now you have it.
What else? Oh, profile/portrait photo -- yes, it's this year's PR picture. There are recent magazine articles on me that once we go through preliminary introductions you'll be able to Google me on. Yup, all this is accurate.

Thank you for reading this.....and who knows, let's find out if lightning will strike!

Date someone special from California, United States. Sure, I like to have fun, travel, do all those things that everybody else on this site claims to do: Ski, Horseback Riding, White Water Rafting, Hiking, Mountain Climbing, Fish Mongering. Ok, maybe not fish mongering. And maybe not any of the others, except hiking. But, I'm game for trying most of them, again except perhaps Fish Mongering and Mountain Climbing.
I'm looking for a partner in what I would describe as a "real" life. One that involves unplanned dinners because we were late coming from work, daily trips to the grocery store, post office, emergency car repairs. Dining and travel are but such a small part of daily life, so I'd rather focus on the larger aspects.
I want communication that can be free and open; at times, that can mean passionate and disagreeable. I don't like the silent treatment and can agree to disagree. It may take me a few minutes, but I always apologize when I am wrong; and often when I am not because humility is always good, and I appreciate harmony more than being "right".
I am intelligent, witty, generous, and loving. I'm also about as forgiving a person as you could hope to meet, and have absorbed the implied punishments of being so.
I have varied interests. I am technical by profession, but it does not define me (in other words, my socks always match). I am flexible and usually enjoy new experiences. Please note "usually". I can be reticent at times, but I warm up as I get to know people and new things. I've had my share of failures in my life; some I've learned from, others I'll probably need to experience again.
However, I do have a much softer and lighter side. Having raised three daughters by myself, I have what might be considered peculiar tastes, at least amongst my ESPN addicted brothers. It's impossible to raise princesses and retain your mysogynist boy's club membership card. Yes, that means my extra-guilty pleasure is... wait for it: Chick Flicks. I know. Pathetic.
Oh, and Jane Austen. No, not the movies... ok, yeah, the movies, but I've also read them all, multiple times. Perhaps someday a bored sociology researcher will conduct a study of all the men that have actually read Austen, all 9 of us, and develop a personality profile based upon chosen favorites. It's Persuasion, by the way. What does that say to you?
Let's see... what else? I don't do seasons. Not Trout, Deer, Elk, Football, Baseball, or Basketball. Fantasy sports? To me that involves things that are better left unmentioned. I appreciate effortless conversation, humor, the elegance of a French manicure and red painted toes in open shoes. I like the slightly strange taste of lipstick, the natural curve of the hip, and a feminine wardrobe that extends beyond jeans and hoodies. I adore classic cinema and believe William Powell and Myrna Loy to be my actual parents. I'll grant you, the timeline is fuzzy, but hey, this is my profile. I think the Opera is a life-giving force and music after the 80's and 90's is an alien mind control experiment.
Also, I read. Much. So, if books, newspapers, online blogs, journals, and endless yet entertaining discussions about them isn't your thing, well, neither am I probably. You should probably also know that I take my politics seriously, to the point of writing publicly about it regularly; and while I admire Mary Matalin and James Carville, I doubt I'm made of the same stuff. Or to put it more succinctly, if you self-identify as a conservative, we're likely not a match.
I lived in Seattle for 15 years and decided to pen a new chapter in the story of my life. It opened in August of last year in the this area. I'm currently searching for characters to join me in my adventures: taking up golf and fly fishing, visiting S.F. for the Opera, exploring California by motorcycle, and just generally living an active life. It's hoped that one of these characters develops into an important recurring role.

Meet single man from California, United States. So who am I ? I like to think of myself as an explorer. At 18 I spent a few years traveling around America with my pals and went far and wide. In my 20's took the risk of building a log home to be exact and had no clue what I was doing but had a steely determination to see it through which I did ! That house was eventually expanded to something unmanageable so I sold and moved on.
I am a person looking for someone to explore and experience life with who has an open mind and an interesting heart.
I have many interests and pursue them with vigor if it has my attention. So the basics: I enjoy the outdoors, the arts, music, and local events. I enjoy traveling when time permits and try and take in what a county, state, city and it's culture has to offer.
I have 3 children all graduated from college, so they are independent and on their own. I enjoy their company, their insights and their views on life and the world.. They mean the world to me and being so fortunate to have children consider myself wealthy beyond measure.
Would just be great to find someone who still has a passion for their career, family and friends. Ideally she is independent and has a variety of interests and we chat comfortably about any topic from Kahlil Gibran to whatever fascinates you.
Essentially chemistry something like dark chocolate and deep rich red wine. The chemistry that occurs, between two people that cannot be planned, advertised or orchestrated it just occurs through discovery, sharing and exploration.

Date a soulmate from United States. Actually, I don't have a boat either -- but I'd be delighted if you do.... and it's also good if you're a Lyle Lovett fan, although that's not any kind of a requirement.
So ... at the risk of seeming immodest: Lawyer involved in SF art scene; frisky and creative (in public and in private); actually funny, always charming. Overall: more fun than the pics show. Thinking about the summer Black Rock trips ...
The Great Interface here requires a minimum number of characters, so I have to come back and add some really significant characters. Like Gregor Samsa. He was a major character. The Green Hornet. Archie and Jughead -- both characters.
Match has been great ... also available as Bombacopsis on the G service for mail, etc -- But meanwhile --
Why does everyone here claim to love hiking so much? If all of you people were off hiking, it would be a lot easier for me to find a place to park .....

Meet a man from United States. I was born in Manitoba Canada and raised between Long Beach California and Bournemouth England. I have 3 sisters and 2 great grown up sons, 24 30.
I moved to the Bay Area about 6 years ago and live alone in San Francisco, working out of Daly City as an Account Manager for a Bay Area company.
I'm pretty easy going and can have a good time doing just about anything.
I am hoping to find a nice genuine woman to develop a long lasting relationship with. Like me, she should be honest, caring, affectionate, and loyal.
I am the type of person that likes to go to sleep in a good mood and wake up each day with a positive outlook...sure negitive things happen from time to time but I try to deal with them quickly and move forward.
My pictures are very current and I am 52 years old.

Date someone special from United States. Life is too short to sit back and just let it pass you by. I am a man who enjoys what life has to offer, whether it be hiking in the woods, long conversations over good food and wine, listening to great music, sports, or immersing myself in art and culture. I have a challenging stimulating career, wonderful friends and family, and a beautiful place to call home.
My work keeps me busy, but I've learned to manage my time well. I am a Marketing Director for a Bay Area Biotech company. After 10 years as a sales manager in the pharmaceutical industry back in NYC, I decided to try something new and settled in CA about 7 years ago. So far I've been very happy with my decision.
I like to spend my free time doing outdoor activities and volunteering. Biking is my favorite form of exercise and relaxation. Last summer I went on a biking trip from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. On different occasions I've also done a kayaking and hiking trip across Wyoming and ridden the length of Italy. I find these types of trips to be beautiful and inspiring. Occasional work with a local charity keeps me grounded and thankful for a good life.
I like to kick back too. While this may sound a bit trite, dining out with a good bottle of wine, long hikes at the shore, occasional museum visits are some of the things I enjoy.
If you have a good sense of humor, you're a little silly and are easy to talk to, we'll have a good time. I'm told I am a fun date, that I'm funny and have a very open mind.
If I sound interesting to you, Email me and tell me about yourself.

Date a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. The California Coast is where I've been since I was 6 months old. I've traveled the world and made friends around the globe. But, nothing is more important than finding the right person to share the most special place I know - home. I've spent many hours doing what I've loved since my youth - designing and building. In recent years I've been committed and succeeded in being balanced outside that life long passion. I know I have much to offer. I love to work hard when it counts and that includes my sense of physical being. I've never been shy about running, lifting and breaking a sweat. I hope the good feeling of running my engine hard shows well. My fondest compliment came from a friend's midwestern wife who said she knew I was a native Californian when she met me. It would have been easy to think she was being judgmental about how I hold a wine glass. She said she knew because she felt a sincere calm about who I am and how I naturally respect everything around me. I hope to think that is who I was raised to be. I live vicariously through my 4 siblings whose kids I just adore. Although I have none of my own, I feel like I've helped raise more than a few. I've been involved in youth mentoring programs for years. Being honored for it feels like being honored for simply doing things that come naturally and make me feel good.. I believe I've helped at least several kids into and through college. It's the least I can do for a world that has treated me so well from my own humble beginnings. I hope to soon find someone with the same values and and the same understanding and giving heart. I'm not perfect. But, I never stop working on improving myself and hoping what I do helps improve those around me...
