"twice upon a time there was a boy who died twice and lived happily
ever after but that's another chapter live from home of the brave
with dirty dollars &amp; beauty parlors &amp; baby ballers &amp;
bowling ball impalas &amp; street scholars that's majoring in
culinary arts. you know how to work bread cheese &amp; dough from
scratch but see the catch is you can get caught. know what ya
sellin' what ya bought so cut that big talk. let's walk to the
bridge now meet me halfway now you may see some children dead off
in the pathway it's them poor babies walkin' slowly to the candy
lady. it's lookin' bad need some hope like the words maybe, if, or
probably more than a hobby when my turntables get wobbly they don't
fall."<br />
<br />
i'm a contradiction. an artist. a friend. a co-conspirator. a
lover. a dreamer. and probably one of the many other adjectives
people use to describe one another.<br />
<br />
at the moment i am a 23yo artist/ college graduate attempting to
figure out a lot of things.
i'm chill and steady.<br />
i'm a teacher &amp; musician.<br />
i like playing outside, dislike school nights,<br />
and i'm very, very lucky.
ok, i really don't know what (if anything) i'm looking for. impress
me. i am a singer, songwriter, poet, amateur photographer and
single mom to a brilliant four-year-old boy. i am a massage
therapist and aesthetician by trade, though i am in the process of
switching careers and becoming an ultrasound tech. i am christian
but also liberal, open-minded and non-judgmental, and i prefer to
be around people like myself. i am somewhat of a homebody but i do
occasionally enjoy going out to karaoke or to check out local
talent. would love to go to a poetry slam or comedy show as well.
at times, i have a rather sick, un-pc sense of humor. i love to
laugh and be silly. friends would describe me as goofy, funny,
generous and loyal.<br />
<br />
i was born and raised in santa cruz and come from a liberal,
down-to-earth family. most of my family members are really into
politics and current events. i am somewhat ashamed to admit that at
the ripe old age of 41, i am only just now beginning to educate
myself on what's going on in the world. i marched with my son in
the occupy oakland rally, and i'm now reading howard zinn's
"peoples' history of the united states". i would love to meet
someone who would like to discuss current events with a beginner
and wouldn't be judgmengtal about my lack of knowledge.<br />
<br />
one new developement in my life as of late is that i am in the
process of obtaining my foster care license. i am hoping to foster
one child up to the age of six. eventually, i would like to
adopt.<br />
<br />
as far as relationships go, i am not sure what i'm looking for, to
be honest, but i know it ain't a quick hook up. i am a true
romantic and hope to find my forever man one day, but right now i'm
not sure i'm ready for anything too serious. i'd settle for a fun
local friend to go out with. we can take it slow and see if
anything developes.<br />
<br />
so that's me. send a hello if you feel so inclined.
i am a dreamer who is constantly trying to come to terms with
reality. i have lived in quite a few places in my life and hope to
settle down in a stable and happy environment. film is my passion,
but i am also very girly and into fashion. i enjoy a lifestyle that
involves traveling, dining, shopping, socializing, and learning
about the world. i wish to meet someone who will share my lifestyle
and enhance it.
do you hate profile summaries as much as i do? but, how are you
supposed to know me enough to see if you're interested? i could
list off a bunch of stats about me that may or may not lure you in,
but let's be real, you're probably basing it off my pictures. admit
it. i believe in interaction to really get to know someone, so if
my pictures are enough of an opener ... hit me up!
i was born in wisconsin, grew up in iowa, and moved to california
three years ago for a combination of work opportunity and just
wanting to live in sf. it took me a couple years to get to the
peninsula, but i'm glad i eventually got here. i'm passionate about
people and have a wide variety of interests and talents.<br />
<br />
i'm also continually learning about myself. for example, i'm
learning very recently that as a result of spending all my time
growing up, in college, and for the last five years focusing on
growing my "deep relationship" skills, i'm not as good as i
previously thought at initializing friendships/relationships. i
guess that isn't all a bad thing since the "first impression" thing
only really happens once with each person. :)<br />
<br />
as a result, i love my friends, i've got a lot of deep friendships,
and know how much richer a friendship can get as it gets
deeper.<br />
<br />
i'm passionate about music, i play the guitar, write songs (less
now than before), write plays (more now than before), want to learn
french and asl, am pretty good for an amateur ballroom dancer, can
do almost everything moderately well (seriously, no joke), love
bright ties and shoes, am a jacket and jeans person, and absolutely
love figuring out how people tick. i think i'm pretty cool and wish
more people would be patient enough to take the time to see
that.<br />
<br />
every friend i've ever had say i'm nothing like anyone else. so i
don't come off like anyone else. i'm my own person. and i'm proud
of that.
ground rules:<br />
<br />
do not wink at me<br />
do not talk to me about sex in your first message.<br />
do not message me if you have a penis. if you do, the only response
you can hope to get will be....not very nice.<br />
ok, that's really it! &lt;3<br />
<br />
so, i've decided to completely rewrite this, already, after only
having been signed up for a day, because even though i specifically
stated i was more interested in girls, i have received an endless
stream of messages from idiot boys who claim to have read my
profile and think i'm a "cool chick and we would get along". news
flash: if you can't read, we won't get along.<br />
<br />
also, look, changed my sexual preference to gay. now maybe i'll
stop getting eleventy two million messages a day from things
without vaginas!<br />
<br />
yes, i am stereotypically club girl attractive. yes, i like to
drink, i smoke on occasion, and when i go out i have a tendency to
dress like a slut. yes, i have casual sex listed as something in
which i'm interested. no, that doesn't mean i want to fuck
everything that moves, and no, it does not mean that offering me
pictures of your cock is going to make me want it.<br />
<br />
this is exactly why i am so turned off to men right now. it seems
that you're all retarded.<br />
<br />
anyway, all that aside, i am, in fact, a nice girl, and i don't act
like a bitch for no reason. i like normal things like a normal
person, and when i'm not out partying, i'm probably working or
playing video games. like a god damn normal person. so please, if
you're going to message me and you aren't a girl, at least make it
some kind of interesting? i really hate reading the same message 20
times a day.
i am a man who really likes to have a great time no matter what i
do. i'm definitely a people person.i tend to make new friends very
easily and people are naturally drawn to my warmth and sunny
nature. don't worry, i am honest enough to still have some
misanthropic feelings towards my fellow man from time to time. i'm
not pollyanna, but i am naturally optimistic, so you've been
warned. i'm kind of a brainiac but not obnoxious about it. i'm
drawn to these same characteristics in women.brains,cuteness and
genuine sweetness make me want to lavish a women with...let's say a
lush and sensuous garden of earthly delights.<br />
<br />
i am fascinated by so many things in life from the grand, sprawling
and epic, to the small and shiny. i am still up for adventures,
believe me, but i've also learned enough, that at this point i find
stability hot.
my name is justin.
we are all comprised of a multitude of personality traits and
characteristics. in a text-based on-line forum, one can express
their true identity only so much. the rest is filled in or
attributed by the reader (you).<br />
<br />
i am a musician, an artist, a scientist, philosopher, outdoorsman,
and general renaissance-person. my meyer's brigg's personality type
is intj. i'm easy-going, flexible, adventurous, and creative.<br />
<br />
my ideal match has a sweet and kind disposition. she is
open-minded, easy-going, and emotionally mature. she knows that a
relationship is an organic process and is looking for something
long term.
i'm another bored californian soaking up the sunshine and looking
for the next big thing. haters, players, peter pans, wannabes and
mama's boys need not apply. you should know who you are and where
you're going if you want to hang out with me.
everyone says i'm the nicest guy, i sure hope that's true.
i am a free spirit. i am a determined college student. i am unsure
of what i want to do with my life. i am sure it will work out. i am
a reader. i am a musician. i am a poet. i am a daughter. i am a
sister. i am a young adult. i am a gardener. i am humble. i am
loving. i am engaging. i am weird. i love fresh laundry. i love
eating/drinking hot things during the summer and cold things during
the winter. i love driving down an empty highway and seeing the
heat waves. i love learning. i love baking simple things. i love
mac &amp; cheese. i love making people happy. i love making my
mother proud. i love defending my views and ideas. i love writing.
i love decorating and rearranging my room. i love browsing for
clothes online and not buying anything. i love messages.
i like dressing up in costume and running around at conventions. i
enjoy going to the nines every time i go out, which means it takes
me time to get ready ... i won't lie about that. i like comics and
video games, but i also love shoes, makeup and handbags. i talk
really loud and can't help it, so i apologize for screaming in your
ear beforehand.
so most of the time i'm a happy laid back guy. but sometimes i'm
that super serial angry asshole. it all depends on the night you
catch me, but really i'm just a guy trying to keep it real. i
currently work in the trades, it is a hobby that pays well. i used
to work as an emt which was difficult but rewarding. one of the
things i appreciate the most in life is humor. much of my
personality can be explained by my ridiculous username.
this is a reboot of an old profile. i'm not on often enough to make
it worthwhile revamping the other, so here's a fresh start. it is
still a work in progress, so expect changes all over the
place.<br />
<br />
not entirely sure why i'm here or what i'm going to do with this. i
suppose i'll figure that out slowly as i fill things out.<br />
<br />
really, i just wanna be able to run around barefoot outside all
day. this whole "job" thing isn't my favourite.<br />
<br />
also, i'm really not here terribly often. it kinda gets forgotten,
so i apologize for the (sometimes extreme) delay in replies.
i'm from mexico and i've spent half of my life in san francisco. i
very much feel a part of both worlds. i like painting and creating
art, i am a creative person.<br />
<br />
i am honest, spontaneous, and an animal lover.
my life is like a slapstick comedy routine spontaneously unfolding.
i'm not sure how this happens, but it invariably does. things that
shouldn't happen happen to me, such as inserting the first quarter
in a slot machine and getting back $200 or coming off the ski lift
and crashing into the only one-legged man on the mountain. i've
started saying 'beating the odds, one oddity at a time'.<br />
<br />
i enjoy solitude, as well as the company of friends. i'm happiest
when i'm doing something and really enjoy being out in the rain and
the mud. actually, i just really enjoy being outdoors, regardless
of the weather or water content of the soil.
myself<br />
<br />
ok i'm gonna finally start filling this profile out. slowly
i have lived in san francisco for most of my life. on a typical day
you can either find me at park, at the beach reading or skipping
rocks, or in the gym. i work in the computer industry an expect a
long career in this field. my ideal job would involve investigating
and catching cyber-thieves, computer savvy terrorists, or otherwise
"bad" people who know how to cause havoc with a computer (it isn't
that hard). i like to play sports, learn new things, use my
imagination, i enjoy reading, and i'm currently learning how to
speak french.<br />
<br />
i am athletic, humorous, and genuine
i'm a socal dude who loves to study, work hard, eat, laugh, and
have fun.
though it goes without saying, a self summary in words on a screen
is a challenge and/or impossibility. that said<br />
<br />
i'm bright and warm and quick<br />
mellow and clever<br />
i make efforts to be compassionate, understanding<br />
silly and not to take things too seriously<br />
i save serious for when life throws shit in the fan<br />
relaxation is a commitment of mine. i make it happen
grew up in michigan, went to this institution:
http://www.theonion.com/articles/university-implicated-in-checksfordegrees-scheme,1193/
, been living in california for the last 5 years. jumped around
from davis to berkeley, which is where i live now.<br />
<br />
i'm into the following, in no particular order. live music, biking,
basketball, xkcd, great movies as well as movies that watch like
cinematic diarrhea, cafes, parks, good food, cracked.com, politics,
conservation, sustainable living<br />
<br />
i am not in alliance with nazi zombies.
i'm a fairly well adjusted, sane person. to me funny means
irreverent, sarcastic and as offensive as possible (like most
idiotic internet humor). flipside: i love discussing current
events, world politics, history, movies, music and food. from the
east coast originally, so to me every conversation being a minor
argument seems fairly normal. a conversation not riddled with
biting sarcasm or vicious insults cutting to the core of one's
identity feels weird. i like the words pookie and boo. i cuss a
lot.
do you look at life at an odd angle? i do!<br />
<br />
i have that east coast punch but it's mellowed after 14 years of
bay area living. dinner with me is lively. i can be soft and cuddly
(that doesn't mean squishy) and really show people that i like
them. i am caring and loyal and keep track of details. i love to be
silly --i go for it at halloween and on more than one occasion have
serenaded a friend at her wedding. i like being social when making
dinner for friends, hiking, the farmer's market or a last minute
drink. i also like my quiet time when staying at home. i am a big
fan of live music and always willing to hear it-really loving the
opera in the last few years and enjoy my $10 standing room ticket
followed by my $20 glass of wine at absinthe! i am also looking
forward to catching tv on the radio next month. my musical palette
is wide ranging.<br />
<br />
i am curious about the world and have traveled to faraway spots for
work (am a musician) and for fun. recent trips include republic of
georgia (love the kachapuri!) and to visit friends in germany. ten
years ago i spent a month in madagascar. that was so daring and
can't believe i ever did that.<br />
<br />
i enjoy intellectual momentum, creative partnership, humor, and
sensuality. i look forward to hearing from you!
"dtruisez votre corps, fuyez vos passions<br />
brlez votre me, embrassez vos dmons<br />
 jamais sans force,  jamais dnudes<br />
de se relever d'une histoire maudite"<br />
<br />
synaesthete. forever sound and color shopping. infinite sensory
overload. novelty junkie. fantasist and futurist.<br />
<br />
if nostalgia is the pain a dying man feels because he wishes to
return to his native home, and fears never to see it again, then i
am a petty nostalgist. no kingdom, no family, no great romance.
shivering maples in summer streetlights. dogs wandering through
yards. great spiking thunderheads. the softly impossible hair on
her face. snow-covered gazebos and bicycles. grit mud and gravel
between toes soaked in rain and runoff. leaping through the tall
grass. the hours spent free. not hardheartedness.<br />
<br />
my first word was "moon." i'm told that not long after that first,
i pointed at the sun and said "hot moon." so, y'know: smart
kid.<br />
<br />
oh, my second word? "lunch."<br />
<br />
i enjoy an argument more than i enjoy agreementbut i do enjoy
both. i am nervy like early devo and twice as sharp. i thrive on
anxiety. i am often at my happiest when everything feels awkward. i
am the freest of free-associators and a highly skilled devil's
advocate.<br />
<br />
i have a love of talk. i am made of time. i am
nautically-themed.<br />
<br />
my heart's fondest ambition is to lead a life that allows me to
take nothing <em>seriously</em> ever again. no:
<em>seriously</em>.<br />
<br />
run over your friends in stolen volkswagens, and tell them i sent
you.<br />
<br />
employ me. talk to me about running. start an argument. discuss
world war i. introduce me to people.<br />
<br />
houseinfinite.tumblr.com, @houseinfinite on twitter.
im not gone ssay don't judge me if you ain't god, neither will i
say don't judge me if you don't know me cause you probably will
anyway. but i will say judge me only after you had a conversation
wit me cuz like kevin hart best believe i'd make you laugh out
loud!!!! alright alright alright!!
hey!<br />
<br />
i am a mix of alternative and traditional, polite and crazy. (kinda
like swirled fro-yo.) i've been in ca my whole life, more or liess.
been in the bay area about 20 years. i am quite happy here.<br />
<br />
i like laughing a lot, pretty silly - big fan of the world of tina
fey, maya rudolph, et al. i think 30 rock is genius.<br />
<br />
i also really like talking about society and people and trying to
figure out this crazy world. when i watch sports or out in the
world, i'm usually more interested in that bizarre thing that
happened over there, than where the ball is. but i do love
baseball, frisbee, volleyball, riding my bike....<br />
<br />
i have a large community and have a great life that i am pretty
content with, but here to meet men who i haven't met already.<br />
i am not so into the concept of online dating, but i'm home a lot
these days, and much more selective about going out, so i feel like
i just need to meet more people than i can naturally, by being in
my apartment by myself. being that, um, there is no one else
here.<br />
<br />
right now, i am looking for either someone to play with and go to
parties with; or someone to chill in oakland with - watch movies,
cook, and hang out; or both.<br />
<br />
;)
i should mention now that although i labeled myself as bisexual,
which i am somewhat, i am not romantically interested in men. sorry
guys.<br />
<br />
i'm easy to get along with, friendly (many friends and no known
enemies), generally non confrontational, polite, silly,
nonsensical, honest, occasionally witty, eclectic,
creative/artistic, curious, introspective, sentimental, love
cooking, love cinema, love being outside, human.<br />
<br />
i don't like smoking or cursing around children. i am not
particularly a fan of religion. i don't like suits. i prefer to
keep a clean house. i like museums, used book stores, thrift
stores, theater and quizzical games like jeopardy and trivia night
at bars. i can sow, barely, but enough to fix minor tears. i am
originally from the scranton region of northeast pennsylvania. it's
actually a little weirder than the office portrays it.<br />
<br />
on another point i should mention that it is understandable that
you may find my smoking unappealing. i am more than willing to quit
cigarettes for the right person. do not expect the same for my
greens.
i have had this account up for a long time and i dont update it
enough. its probably been inactive for a good 6 months now, but
goddamn it im gonna start using it again beacuse girls seem neat
again yay!!!<br />
<br />
i am lazy, wise, and optimistic.
well hmmm, my life currently revolves around music and making it.
im not entirely sure what to put here it seems like if i summarized
myself it would be a little demeaning.<br />
<br />
im always shy at first but given enough time im over eccentric and
social.<br />
<br />
oh yeah my names samuel.
i'm shy and soft spoken, but get along with most people. i'm also
family oriented and looking for someone to eventually spend the
rest of my life with (kind of sappy).<br />
<br />
my life right now has been primarily routine lately (work, eat,
sleep), which isn't necessarily a bad thing when i do compliment
this with periodic activities with friends and/or family (and once
in awhile strictly by my lonesome). i understand there are a lot of
things i still haven't done in my life (i.e. i have debated about
skydiving), but i am relatively open to try new things, especially
when accompanying others.
well for starters my name is devonya.i am 36 years old. i have a
beautiful and intellegent 16 year old daughter that is going on
21....lol =] iam working towards my bs in health and wellness. my
goal is to be a np in the neonate ward.i am 5'3 yes i know short
but i have a very big personality and a big heart! i also love to
laugh! also my quote for life is: live as if you will die tomorrrow
and dream as if you will live forever! well thats a little bit
about me. if you would like to know more contact me.<br />
sincerly,devonya =]<br />
<br />
i am small, strong-minded, and outgoing
well, what can i say about myself?? i'm originaly from mexico city.
i moved to california (marin county) 12 years ago and i like it
here. i cosider myself a quiet person but once i'm in a comfort
zone i'm very very easy going and easy to talk to. i'm honest,
kind, crazy some times and i hardly get stress or mad or anything
like that that, instead, i try to make the best out of things and
enjoy every minute of it! i'm not a workaholic but i work a lot. i
have a full and a part time job which they are completly different
from from each other. my full time job involves doing maintenance
for an apartment building for people with phisical disabilities and
i work at an awesome spa in sausalito doing costumer service. i
like the balance between the two. i'm a very open minded person and
i lilke people who is too. i'm the kind of person who likes to live
the moment and one day at a time and i love to enjoy every moment
of it. i love a great sence of humor and people who makes me
laught. i can make people laugh too. :d<br />
<br />
since i have two jobs i don't have much free time but when i do, i
like to try new thing, go to places i've never been to, go out to
dinner, for a drink or just spend time with frineds and family, go
for a hike, bike ride, mountain biking, bowling, billards, i love
anything with live music like going to concerts, festivals, the
local band at a local club. etc. i can go on and on.<br />
i like to play video games as well as drawing. i love drawing even
though i suck at it but i try to do my best. it makes me forget
about everything for a while , i like to take pictures of random
things, i love going to the movies or watch a movie at home,
basically i'm up to do anything and to explore what the world has
to offer.<br />
<br />
academic and artsy type looking for same in partner.<br />
<br />
words to live by: great men (and women) live dangerously, small men
(and women) don't take chances.<br />
<br />
(yes, it is from a fortune cookie, but i like it.)
i recently moved back to sf to build another start up after living
in nyc and scottsdale, az for the last five years and i am so glad
to be back! i love life. i love myself. i love my family. i love my
friends and i want someone that loves the same things that i do! =)
i have been very blessed with my career and the ability to travel
the world. i love being outside more than anything, especially
after a long day in the office. happy hours after work are always a
plus, especially at a great wine bar. i love to cook, dance, paint,
music, wine, and being myself. i am honestly open to anything 99%
of the time! hit me up and i will happily tell you more.. =)
i feel i'm an eclectic mlange of characteristics and
cultures--ranging from <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=hookahs">hookahs</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=cafes">cafes</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=shopping">shopping</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=traveling">traveling</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=clubbing">clubbing</a>, and <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=reading">reading</a>. just so you know, i analyze
everything to death, but that's just the nature of being a virgo,
right?<br />
<br />
another thing i enjoy doing is working out and gymnastics. it's
something i do as "me" time, and i take much pleasure in it. i also
try to eat healthy, but everyone has their lapses and craves fast
food every now-and-then, right? i'm try to keep myself lean and
in-shape and currently have been hovering around 6-7% body fat
(measurements are done hydrostatically), but there's always room
for improvement. =)<br />
<br />
i am analytical, eclectic, and insomnious
turn ons:<br />
good decor, bad jokes, mission burritos, ipa, haunted mansions,
spiders, muscle cars, cats, rock and roll and all of its cousins,
tequila, the smells of bacon and coffee combined, big hair, the
warm scratchy sound of vinyl, lowriders, inside jokes, outside
voices, roller coasters, thunder storms, evel knievel, tattoos,
brujeria/vudu, dive bars with good juke boxes and bad bar tenders,
pinball, flea markets, odd trivia, curmudgeons, day dreaming,
gadgets, new places, old haunts, tree huggers, lefties, odd balls,
mariachis, grilling' and road trips.<br />
<br />
turn offs:<br />
tweakers, liars, gold teeth, patchouli, drum circles, bible
thumpers, ink whores, sagging pants, spelling errors, raisins,
smooth jazz, oatmeal, sissies, crazy eyebrows, weak hands, jive
talkers, street walkers, right-wingers, bad singers, litter bugs,
the words "sumptuous" and "whimsy", clowns, cheaters, the term
"fail!", hunger, poverty, privileged punks, passive aggressiveness,
stink, quentin tarantino, huey lewis and the news, the shitty
drivers of the 580, cold summers, stubbornness, french pop music,
kombucha, the term "fusion", and interrupters.
i love animals (in particular dogs, turtles and baby sloths), film,
and wandering. i don't know what i want to do with my life
"career-wise". i read a lot and drink a ton of ice coffee. love to
travel. i jog until it stops being fun.
i would like to start off by saying im the type of person who is
always smiling because i love life!<br />
i am relaxed, ambitious, and witty at times! i work hard so i can
play hard and love that about being an entrepreneur. travel is a
large part of my life and do so whenever i possibly can! the
majority of the past three years have been spent between the u.s
and asia. with that said, i have lots of stories that i'd love to
share on a date, so just ask ;)
i love all kinds of traveling in order to get away from the
constant distractions of everyday life.. whether it's getaway
weekend trips to sunny beaches, or into the wilderness. i am always
in the thinking and planning mode, figuring out where i want to go
next.<br />
<br />
i am a fun, outgoing, considerate, thoughtful, and adventurous, and
much more. i am also an ambitious person and have clear personal
and career goals for myself.<br />
<br />
my motto is work hard. play harder!!! stay hungry and stay foolish.
i am a pretty laid back person, kind of artsy and romantic, also
very honest. i would say that i'm a combination of jaded and
hopeful, peppered with a somewhat dark sense of humor. i do tend to
be pretty positive, in general, and try to make the best out of any
given situation. living in the moment is a work in progress, but
it's something i strive to do. i'm the person that people lean on
when they need help, but am also fiercely independent and somewhat
off-beat in a fun, bay area sort of way.
my name is calvin.<br />
<br />
i was kind of an <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=emo">emo</a>
kid, at least thats what they called me in high school. now i
wouldn't say that i'm any less of an emo kid but i've learned to
deal with my emotions much better.<br />
<br />
i'm extremely <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=loyal">loyal</a>
to my friends they are like a surrogate family considering how
twisted my family situation is. i would step up to protect any of
them in a heart beat. my friends are really the most important
things in my life. and if they're ever down i always try to put a
smile back on their face, even if it ends with me looking pretty
stupid.<br />
<br />
i'm a total <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=hopeless+romantic">hopeless romantic</a>. i believe
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=chivalry">chivalry</a> is still
alive and kicking- it's just hiding, with elvis, and tupac and now
mj (god rest his soul). but really, i tend to find a girl and treat
her like a queen. i am extremely dedicated and committed in my
relationships, i just keep attracting the wrong sort of
girls.<br />
<br />
honestly i'm a <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=dork">dork</a>.
i like <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=video+games">video
games</a>, <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=anime">anime</a>,
other <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=geeky">geeky</a> shit.
i'm <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=1337">1337</a> literate.
(that's kind of an oxymoron, i know.) i used to play a lot of
sports like lacrosse, but now i'm getting more in touch with my
inner asian, fast cars, sharp corners and a hell of a lot of tire
changes. i love to chill with my friends and just hang out usually
in parking lots at midnight smoking stogs and enjoying frosties,
it's just not a party unless you end up at wendys at 2 in the
morning eating fries with your frostie and drinking your beer out
of an empty soda cup through the straw.
i'm a geek at heart. i work for a local startup in mountain view
that's becoming quite successful, and it gives me a flexible
schedule and lots of free time. so even with the long commute, i
get to do the stuff i love: walking and jogging around the city,
making and playing music, exercising and simply being active. i
have lots of energy in reserve since i don't use much at
work.<br />
<br />
i've traveled to most of asia, and i'm planning to move to europe
for a few months when done with tech. after living in asia, ny, and
boston, i finally found the perfect place with an optimal
combination of smart and interesting people, great food, and
vibe.<br />
<br />
meat is a crucial part of my meals but i don't mind dining with
vegans or vegetarians as long as i'm allowed to express freely my
satisfaction upon biting into a piece of steak or salmon. my
hangout rituals range from grabbing some pbr at a dive bar to
enjoying a glass of white wine listening to live classical music.
surprise me.<br />
<br />
thanks for visiting my profile. hope you enjoy reading this.
i am a fun loving, hard-working girl who likes to live well. i
generally try to approach life with a healthy mix of faith,
gratitude, and humor.<br />
<br />
when i'm not working i'm likely to either be working out, eating
out, or plotting my next escape out of town (though am a true
californian at heart). am happiest when enjoying good food with
good friends.
strong willed, loving, caring, open minded, mindful, always
smiling, pretty much happy and grateful. i love to laugh!!
;-))<br />
<br />
i am happy, funny, and smart
let's aim for straightforwardness. i'm silly, sweet, and confident.
i'm funny in a sarcastic kinda mean kinda dirty kinda offensive
way. but not too much. i'm kind of a romantic. i like talking about
everything from philosophy of mind to beyonce. i'm very open minded
and non judgmental, to a degree that bothers people sometimes. i
got some moves. i have a deep voice. i naturally have hair in
nominal places on my body. i like meeting people.
an old widower geek, with three dogs and a close family
i enjoy a really hard laugh; i don't take myself too serious.<br />
<br />
i take honestly, integrity and kindness very seriously.<br />
<br />
i am realistic and grounded, while still passionate and excited
about the things i love, particularly my family, my profession and
keeping healthy.<br />
an optimist, always looking at the bright side; i have three sons
who constantly teach me life's lessons.
a laid back guy from hawaii, hopeless romantic, athletic,
tennis<br />
and soccer coach, and kindergarten teacher.<br />
<br />
i am humorous, casual, fun loving, family oriented, generous,
and<br />
out going
im going to take the time to redo this now i guess. my names
leilani, and i'm living in oakland and am a member of the occupy
oakland medic collective. i like freight trains, body modification,
star wars, graphic novels and music. im usually dirty for one
reason or another (i love being outside) i love bikes and my dog is
my life. im loud and do my best to keep up my pma. i really only
make plans to let myself know whats pretty much not going to happen
in the long run. im vegan and r(a)dical. im really just looking for
chill people to hang out with right now. also i play the saw and
would love to find some rad people to play folk music with!
well educated, well travelled and interested in global activities.
hard worker and somewhat stubborn at times...;-) open minded and
respectful to all cultures and people, its what makes the globe
spin.
a bit about myself... i'm a dedicated hard working person who views
life as a fantastic journey. i try to find the good in everything
no matter the situation.<br />
<br />
i have 2 wonderful kids in their teens and absolutely love them
with all my heart. stable and reliable are what people usually
describe me. i like to think i deal with things with calmness and
sensibility.<br />
<br />
i work in the tech field for a lot of years and still totally enjoy
my work. i also believe it's also important to have a balance
between work and personal life. my philosophy is i go to work so i
can afford to play.
working part-time at a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=software+testing">software testing</a> job in the sf
bay area; studying for a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=library+and+information+science+">library and
information science</a> degree; a busy bee<br />
<br />
i am quotidian, inclusive, and appreciative
i am a mutt in just so many ways. this makes it hard for me to say
definately that i am this way or that. i have wanted to be an
artist but am working as tech support analyst for a mortgage
company. i have a positive outlook on what people will do, but a
negative view on what happens in the world these people are in.
friends are my proudest assets, but i wish i had a house.<br />
<br />
so when i give you these adjectives from my thesaurus here, use
them as a guideline not a rule. artistic, funny, friendly, open
minded, giving, more home-bodyish than active. music more than
sleep recharges my batteries. i like hanging out with friends,
playing games, talking about tangential subjects until someone
finally admits its too late, bowling, watching movies, volleyball,
snuggling, learning more about cultures both past and
present.<br />
<br />
i am unconforming, witty, and friendly
gardener, free thinker, a walking contradiction, a cynical
optimist<br />
<br />
seeking... honest, positive, healthy, truly kind person<br />
<br />
for...mutual inspiration, friendship, laughter, romance, and
fun<br />
<br />
i am staring at a, painting of vonnegut, and loving it
what can i say... i am a lover of life, people, animals, nature,
laughter, great food, stimulating conversation, music, all kinds
but especially r&amp;b. i am alittle on the wild side, but can be
very centered and spiritual as well. i believe i am kind, open, and
honest. i am sexually adventerous and not very inhibited. i guess i
am a soft butch and a little kinky, but am most interested in an
exchange of energy, and do not like to be stuck in one role , my
tendency is to be butch, i would never be referred to as a femme. i
have 2 dogs, a cat, and lots of salt water fish. i love reef tanks!
i'm a big, tall, burly man with a giant heart. myabe a few social
hang ups here and there, but in the right company i can be myself.
i'm hella cool. i love music, positivity, honesty, and making
others smile. i like to have fun, but there's a time to chill. i
like getting to know people. i like learning. i dig other cultures.
i dig different perspectives. i dig sports (in a big way). i dig
spike lee joints. i read from time to time. i hate self-summaries.
i lik two mispel wurds online. i would rather you get to know me
than rely on this box. yessir!
hi, i am currently living in the bay area. i love to hang out with
friends on weekend and chill whenever i am free from school. i love
to try out new things and enjoy my life as much as possible but i
do think about my future. i like to meet people that share my
interest and any commonalities. i am adventurous and i would love
to meet up with people that love to do cool things such as
skydiving, jet ski, paintball, travel, etc.
my first byline :) i'm childishly proud.<br />

<br />
~~~~girls please message me! i don't know enough girls in this damn
town.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
<br />
i'm a writer and i like to read. i'm new in town.<br />
<br />
my spirit animal is marina from marina and the diamonds.
easygoing, fun-loving, confident, don't take myself too seriously.
well, lets see....here is a quick snap shot:<br />
<br />
i am a passionate, playful, intellectually curious, and genuine
person always looking for a challenge and something new to try and
learn. my friends would describe me as ethical, kind, empathetic,
silly, creative, and quirky. laughter and humor are important to
me. i have a whimsical outlook on life, which helps me stay
grounded in the work that i do. i am a social worker (m.s.w)
working in the field of policy advocacy and violence prevention. i
also work in the clinical field as a family crisis counselor and as
a therapist for children, youth, and families. working towards
positive social change and social justice are very important to me.
i feel privileged that my job is not only a job but a way of life
that affords me great meaning. daily, i encounter the resilience of
the human spirit and have experiences that inform my world view and
challenge me to grow and learn as a person.<br />
<br />
i also love creating art for fun. i like to experiment with
charcoal, acrylic paints, and clay.<br />
<br />
i also love soccer and hope to coach again someday soon. i played
d1 soccer in college. unfortunately, i have been forced to be
sidelined from the sport for a while but i am working towards
playing again in good time with some hard work and patience. i also
love hiking and being outdoors.<br />
<br />
my life also seems to be organized around finding, cooking, and
eating good food...:)
i like doing stuff. i like going places.<br />
<br />
stuff = whatever sounds good<br />
places = wherever sounds good<br />
<br />
and, yes, i'm totally passionate about it.
study. self-learn java. bicycle. work. judo. lift weights. listen
to music. cook. eat. socialize. inevitable chaos. sleep (maybe).
rinse, lather, repeat.<br />
<br />
i'm one of the only people i know that programs but also thinks
about how much of our vaunted truth is socially constructed.<br />
<br />
i prefer tea to coffee.
i am a mix of urban sophisticate meets outdoor enthusiast. of
course i love running, biking, hiking, rock climbing, but also
sitting in cafes. i am an aspiring, but humble, intellectual. i am
very particular about ice cream. i make delicious cocktails. i
travel. i have zero body fat. i am a literature geek. i like
dialogue. my goal is actively consuming and participating in the
world, not just passively watching it go by. turns out all this is
a lot of work, but it feels good, so i keep doing it.
back in the bay after a long hiatus.<br />
<br />
i tend not to like to summarize, as a i really dislike being
typecast. i'm happiest when i'm learning, and have really broad
interests--it's always a struggle to find balance and fulfillment
among intellectual/idealistic/artistic/athletic pursuits. my
academic interests have tended to involve international studies
(law/politics/econ), but also international lit.<br />
<br />
but i'm pretty content to be in the bay these days. i'm pretty well
traveled, at least in the western hemisphere. have studied and
lived abroad in various places--budapest/chile/buenos aires.<br />
<br />
i'd like to think of myself as pretty humble and fair-minded, but i
also enjoy arguing a bit. rest assured that it's nothing personal.
my friends inevitably tend to have strong opinions and relate to
the world intellectually--they are creative lawyer types,
scientists, artists.<br />
<br />
sense of humor is deadpan, with absurd highlights and a smidge of
snark--but only when you have it coming ;)<br />
<br />
i'm generally suspicious of archetypes, but if infj means anything
attractive to you, then perhaps i'm your huckleberry.
my name is matt and i am new to alameda. just to start off, do not
judge a person by the way they look. get to know them. i love to
laugh a lot and i have to have a girl who likes to laugh. i try and
be funny but may not always be funny. so she has to be able to put
up with that. i am not really picky with girls. i tend to look more
towards the personality then the looks of the girl. that is what
truly matters. i am very loving and caring for the people who are
around me. i have tons of friends and i am constantly talking to
them to keep in touch. i will admit i do play video games but they
do not take over my life. i usually try and go outside and do
something active like riding my mountain bike in the hills or even
on the road. i played baseball and soccer in high school and i just
finished my second year in college. i like to go out and do stuff
but i am always fine with staying in the house and watching a movie
or listening to music. i also love to go out and just go for a
drive somewhere. there are always somewhere new to explore.
i am a good guy looking to find that someone special.<br />
i think that the initial meeting chemistry is important.<br />
lets go to the wine country, explore a new area, try a new
restaurant and enjoy a nice glass of wine together.<br />
we can email for weeks, but if there is no spark upon
meeting.......<br />
at the very least i know that i will make a few new friends
here.<br />
<br />
i am easy fun, easy going, spontaneous, and honest
i'm a curious person, interested in how the world works (mostly
people, but okay, motors too). i'm a default extrovert, prone to
talking to strangers in public. the secret is simple: ask people
about themselves and they'll usually tell you something interesting
(i.e. "cool dog. does he know any tricks?" or "where do
<em>you</em> eat in this neighborhood?" ). i'm
philosophically-minded, but also pretty silly for a
professor.<br />
<br />
i grew up a suburban kid in the pre-tech, pre-"play date" days,
building skateboard ramps and running around town
unchaperoned--that is to say a normal, hands-on 70's childhood in a
family that's still very close. i have a couple of nice gadgets,
but i try to keep daily screen/tech time to a minimum,
<em>much</em> preferring coffee with a friend to facebook or
whatever.<br />
<br />
what else? i have a soft spot for crafters, enthusiasts and people
who root for the underdog (not the underdogs themselves--screw
them! ha-ha). i'm not your tall-dark-rockhardabs-type romeo, but
i'm a fun date, respectful, a good conversationalist, not
self-absorbed.<br />
<br />
gee, that last one is hard to communicate in a "self-summary,"
isn't it?! :)
me? i'm winging it.<br />
i'm just a dude to be completely honest.<br />
i love adventure, beer, and really, just love pursuing something
new.<br />
haven't been in a committed relationship in a while because i had
been traveling the past couple of years, so i'd love to take
another crack at it.<br />
...but if nothing else, i'm here to have a good time and would
honestly just love to get to know somebody in this mountain town :d
i love life!<br />
<br />
oh. okcupid is telling me that three words isn't enough. ok
then:<br />
<br />
i just moved to the bay area in february, i don't know anyone here.
this is your chance - you can pretend to be the coolest kid in town
and i won't know any better but to believe you!<br />
<br />
still not enough? fine... a more detailed description of me:<br />
<br />
born to lead the armies of darkness to ruinous victory. gifted with
a vast range of abilities for achieving that destiny. cursed by the
forces of good to be crippled by ethics, honesty, and compassion.
the usual story - good triumphs over evil, foiled again, blah blah
blah.<br />
<br />
i can read and write my name, and i have a job and a home and a car
and my teeth and i can use an oscilloscope and i can shower
myself!<br />
<br />
you should also know that of all the people on a recently-published
"50 most loathsome people in the usa" list, not a single one of
them is me. your mom will be delighted to hear this. (though you
may feel a little bit insulted by her poorly hidden relief.)
i'm a musical, funny, educated guy with just the right tinge of
sarcasm; and i'm honestly just looking for you to be yourself. it
would help if we were attracted to eachother as well. i don't like
snobs very much. i love to travel, and i love other people who
value travel. it's harder than you would think to find this.<br />
<br />
i think it's really weird when people define themselves by the tv
shows they watch. don't you? i like tv only for watching movies...
that doesn't mean you have to be the same, but i tend not to be
attracted to tv addicts :)<br />
<br />
i really want to find someone go enjoys doing things. fun things
like camping, driving up north, surfing, hiking, watching live
baseball, exploring new restaurants, seeing a movie (on a
tuesday!)... if you're interested, by all means let me know.
sf-based t-girl who travels too much. generally jet-lagged,
confused, and peevish.
blunt and to the point. i can change my mind in an instant and it's
always for the better. i'm very in touch with myself and the way i
fit into the world. i know exactly where i'm going with life and i
can't wait to get there. i strive for excellence. i love to people
watch and be at one with nature.<br />
<br />
i am trusty, spontaneous, and tasteful
happy-go-lucky and usually pretty high on life. optimistic to
almost a flaw, but i find ways to keep reality in check. friends
say that i'm funny and am a good storyteller. i do a really good
job at keeping myself entertained, so i'm never bored and there's
rarely ever a dull moment in my life.<br />
<br />
i have a bit of a spontaneous and adventurous streak and find
myself in random shenanigans all the time. i'm a travel and new
experience junkie and have been known to pick up and travel on a
whim. random fact: i can go on month long trips with just a laptop
bag of clothes, both domestically and internationally. i never
check anything in. i love love love traveling, especially with
others. hint hint.<br />
<br />
my loves: san francisco, hong kong, thailand, seattle, tampa,
hanging out with friends, food, cooking, yoga, going on aimless
walks with friends, watching archer for hours, picnicking at
dolores park, social media, startups, technology, discovering new
cultures, learning new languages, lazing at the park or beach,
meeting new people, going to shows, writing, photography, going on
photo walks, expanding my random useless knowledge vault on
wikipedia, plotting to rule the world, and tons more.
i'm a east coast native who enjoys a good cup of coffee and good
conversation. the thing i miss most about the east (besides my
siblings) is a good thunderstorm. i love the electricity in the air
and the smell of rain on hot pavement.<br />
<br />
i'm interested in meeting someone who knows that bagel is not a
shape, has a quick wit, big heart, loves to laugh, and knows the
value of sleepy sunday mornings.<br />
<br />
i'm in a helping profession, so work/life balance is important to
me. i value regular time outside, regular booty shaking, and
regular time alone.<br />
<br />
i find good leading on the dance floor to be very hot. clear
communication and great connection without words excites me. clear
communication and great connection with words excites me too. is it
too much to hope for both?
i love life.<br />
i like the variety life offers and feel life is way too damn
short.<br />
a few of my thangs... swim, dance, yoga, hikes, martial arts, board
games, sailing, watching anime, ethnic foods and so on.
exciting and interesting<br />
with a touch of glam<br />
i am a vaguely outdoorsy fag who has heart.i'm a fag in the
artistic sense.<br />
i'm into the ladies.queer femmes.straight femmes.and femme guys.
just fags and femmes.
born and raised in the east bay and back after believing that it
was a good idea to live elsewhere. turns out you <em>can</em> do
worse than beautiful weather, incredible friends, and a gorgeous
area.<br />
<br />
i'd describe myself as a laid back, kind, funny, sensitive, and
handsome, but i'd sound arrogant if i did that, so i will skip most
of the self summary.
i am a funny, warm social person with a lot of friends. i love
engaging, lively conversations that are provacative and fun.<br />
<br />
i am physically active and try to stay fit. love a long
walk--either a leisurely walk on the beach or traipsing along the
streets of the many wonderful towns, cities and villages here and
abroad.<br />
<br />
what am i looking for? i want someone who knows himself and is
comfortable with who he is. shared values are a plus; honesty and
empathy, a must. prefer a good communicator and someone who isn't
intimacy phobic. strongly prefer someone who has or appreciates a
robust sense of humor. conscious about health and fitness, but i'm
not looking for an action hero. oh yes, and that 'thang' called
chemistry--not looking for magic but a nice spark will do just
fine.
i'm a bay area transplant, originally from philadelphia. i'm
generally pretty laid back. my sister calls me the "ultimate
taoist" i believe for these reasons. i generally try to not let
life get me too uptight and just see where it will take me, but at
the same time i'm pretty ambitious, not lazy and like to try new
things/go new places.
raised by my traditional grandma in a big city and traveled around
the world, yup im a military brat.
hey! just moved to the bay area, i don't know anyone so lets grab a
drink! i'm super ambitious i have so many side projects going on at
anyone time. i just made my own iphone/ipad game called nuclear
hipster. www.nuclearhipster.com, i also write/record music. music
is my life. i would love to meet a girl that dreams big as
well.<br />
i'll school you at pool at a dive bar any night of the week.<br />
i play guitar but during the day i'm a professorial character
artist. i like to go out with friends and have drinks. 80's
dancing. i love watching netflix after a long day of hard work.. i
love punk music stuff along the lines of gaslight anthem, brand
new, menzingers, nothington, rise against, taking back sunday,
frank turner, bad religion . concerts are my fav past time. road
trips to the coast are a blast as well.
hmm, i'm not really sure what to do here, but here goes...<br />
<br />
i've lived in the bay area for most of my life, grew up in hayward
and then came to the city, and will never leave! i love it
here!<br />
<br />
i work in the video game industry and while it can be fun, it's
also a lot of hard work and crazy hours. grandma's boy it ain't,
seriously.<br />
<br />
outside of work, i keep it pretty chill. not really into clubs
anymore but love me a good bar and a game of bones! love playing
video games and am really into the whole industry and how far it's
come. and i am always down for a house party!
i am fun, easy-going, energetic, and enjoy exploring new
adventures, interesting people &amp; unique places. i am brutally
honest &amp; don't have a great deal of tolerance for nonsense
&amp; dishonesty. i heart rockclimbing, a mean cheeseburger,
chocolate &amp; meaningful conversations with good friends.
woodyallen double living in the bay area, alternating time between
school, work, 'rents, and nerdfriends.
i'm independent, single<br />
i'm drama free an i like to have fun an do fun things<br />
im as spontaneous as any single parent can be. i'm really looking
for someone that can spark my interest and keep me excited, if thts
not to much to ask for..
a grounded seeker of new perspectives, learning and experiences, i
value expansion, freedom, growth, openness, tolerance, and
connecting. it's from this angle that i approach life.<br />
<br />
i have way too many things on my life list and not enough time to
get to them as fast as i'd like to (yet!). i'm fueled by the
incessant desire to do, learn, taste, feel into, and experience new
things, and i've got a lot of range i can be extremely disciplined
and focused in my endeavors, but must carve out time for play and
letting my hair down in order to maintain my homeostasis. drop me
in any situation and i'll figure it out and make the most of it.
i'm pretty playful and have high appreciation for good times with
good company (ideally paired with good food!). lately i've been
incorporating as much movement as possible in my life. i love to
dance and get lost in a good beat and get mesmerized by good live
music. i love getting out of dodge to connect with nature and
re-ground. i can get down with some yoga, a nice long run and love
riding my bike around town. i'm also adept at handling fast pieces
of machinery with two wheels ;). gotta love two-wheel therapy.
i'll be brief...i know you have a lot of these to go through-<br />
sf native (yes really), just enjoying life. i can get pretty
settled into my routine so i enjoy trying new things. sure i love
to travel, but i don't have the time luxury to do it as often as
i'd like. i like going out just as much as i like staying home,
cooking, and watching baseball. i'm easy going, yet opinionated,
loud, yet shy, and i don't always drink beer, but when i do, i
don't drink dos equis.
comedy is king to me. i also enjoy composing music. im heavy into
collecting records and woody allen movies at the moment. the rest
is for you to ask about.
i love to talk. it's my favorite thing to do. i'm inquisitive and i
laugh easily. i want to share coffee or tea, talk a lot, laugh, and
get to know some interesting new people, allowing friendship to
bloom into romance over time. i am a therapist by day, and a
homebody when i can be. i love my chosen family, which is very rich
and varied, and members of my related family have come back into my
life in a wonderful way lately. i am a dog person and allergic to
cats. you'll find me swimming a few times a week. i'm 30 years
clean and sober and prefer that drugs &amp; alcohol are a
take-it-or-leave-it thing (if at all) for anyone close to me.
social justice is extremely important to me and is woven into the
fabric of my life. and i love to talk. love it.<br />
<br />
the woman i'm looking for is ..... many things, but here are my
deal-breakers:<br />
<br />
comfortable in her own body and appreciative of mine. that goes for
size, shape, inside and out.<br />
<br />
self-aware and able to converse about feelings, engage in
constructive conflict resolution and won't shy away from talking
about what's real.<br />
<br />
butch of center. that's where my chemistry gets churning.<br />
<br />
i am easy to laugh, sensitive, and enthusiastic. and i'm worth it.
my life's goal is to have a whippet named minnow that i've raised
from six weeks until the end of her very long life. i dream of
living in a cute corner townhouse in sf, boston, dc, austin... so
many amazing choices. get me started on my townhouse life and i'll
talk for days. (okay, to be fair, i can carry on a lovely
conversation with a brick wall. i love to talk, and i'm not half
bad at it.)<br />
<br />
if there's a will, there's a way. i'm all about it. my slogan is
#totallydoable (okay, i have a lot of catchphrases - ask me about
them).<br />
<br />
i prefer to speak in declarative sentences.<br />
<br />
when i find someone i love, whether it's romantic or not, i'm
fiercely loyal. so far it's never been tested to the point of
impractically, but it's a part of who i am. to me, it's worth it to
stick up for and to stick with the people i care about. if that
means i have to stand up for you or hang tight when you're going
through a rough patch, so be it.
i'm an easygoing person living in oakland. i have a pretty busy
schedule but i like to spend time with friends and meet new people
when i can. i have an interest in urban design and architecture,
which are what i studied. i want to check out places and activities
in the bay area. i lean more towards being a quiet guy. i like to
listen to what you have to say.
dancing w/ maenads &amp; flirting w/paradigms while stumbling
amongst the subtle &amp; playing w/the absurd: a lost soul,
scouting w/(in) shadows, on patrol of utopian event horizons, in
search of some sublime subtext. a wandering spirit, relaxing on
edge...<br />
<br />
ok, now that i've tried to make myself seems mysterious and
cool:<br />
i've traveled a fare bit, lived in europe for several years, worked
as a bike messenger in boston, a dancing waiter in nyc, (i
currently work as a theatrical carpenter) returned to burningman 2
years ago for the 1st time in 7 years but i think that's the last
time, play in a couple of bands...<br />
is that any better?
so, i've been running around this city most of my life and it
really is home. i studied theater in college (lighting design) and
i have a day job in biotech. i'm a bit of a jill of all trades,
i've done a lot of different (all mostly legal) things in my life
career-wise and have some experience doing quite a few different
things (ask me about the time i was a professional kite flyer for a
day.). i beleive the greeks were on to something with their
"everything in moderation" as in, you have to screw up just as
often as you get things right and you need to party and goof off
often enough to balance the hours you're in the office.<br />
<br />
i can be rather sarcastic, but it's always out of love and i love
it when folks can respond in kind. i love it even better when you
know when it's time to knock it off and just be nice to each
other.<br />
<br />
i also hate filling out "about me" boxes.<br />
<br />
i am slightly cynical, artistic, and messy
i'm a cheerful guy who mainly looks at life through a humorous
lens. i dream big and get as much out of life as i can!
open minded, willing to try anything once. i enjoy reading, movies,
working out, and lazy sundays. artistic yet goal oriented, humorous
yet humble.<br />
<br />
cal alum- plaining on going back to grad school...one day.<br />
<br />
from my facebook profile:<br />
i think of myself as being a cool guy, someone easy to talk to as
well as being a good listener. if you want to know more...send me a
message.<br />
i'm an entrepreneur, i'm always on the go, but when i have free
time i like to spend it reading, working out, or spending time with
friends.
i'm more casual than formal. i live and work in cities, but love
the country. my sense of humor tends toward the irreverent. if
something seems funny, even if it also seems ill advised, i'll
probably go for it, if only for the story.
tom is tall. tom is funny. tom is creative and bright. tom is
loyal, dependable, and loving. tom has a good job (that drives him
crazy). tom will not cheat on you. tom can be real quiet at times
but don't let that freak you out, it's just his way. tom works at a
tv station and plays bass in a rock band. tom doesn't have a lot of
free time so he's throwing himself up on the internet to see if he
can meet someone special to share his life with.
new to the sf area. well, i guess not all that new...but since july
2011. just newly out of a relationship, so starting out again here
and needing to meet people, make friends, email buddies, and go
from there, ultimately, hoping to find a special someone
again...<br />
<br />
the most important things to me are my friends and family. i am a
mild introvert who enjoys activities such as movies, eating,
hiking, listening to music, watching reality tv, playing sports,
reading, and taking pictures. i also enjoy home improvement and
living in the suburbs. occasionally, it doesn't hurt me to get out
into the city.<br />
<br />
places you will not find me:<br />
a bar<br />
a club<br />
<br />
places you will find me on the weekends:<br />
friends<br />
hiking<br />
home<br />
<br />
and i like to alphabetize things.<br />
80s music, agate collecting, animals, astronomy, beaches, bed,
black &amp; white photography, board games, cake, camping, candy,
classical music, comedy, computers, concerts, dancing, driving,
europe, exercising, family, family feud, final fantasy, friendship,
hiking, ice cream, laughing, loving people, meeting new people,
movies, mp3s, music, musicals, napping, nature, nintendo,
photography, playstation, psychology, rpgs, rain, reading, road
trips, san francisco, seattle, shopping, singing, sleep, soccer,
summer, the simpsons, thunderstorms, travel, video games,
volleyball, world peace, yoga<br />
<br />
i am dedicated, funny, and outgoing.
i am a solid man with a good heart. ok, i am fed up with the
messages implying that i have nothing interesting noted about
myself, or just because i have a shirtless picture i have nothing
going on mentally. for one , i just finished up my under graduate
with a double major in philosophy and pioli-sci / pre law option. i
have been studying for the lsat the last two years i have ben
completing my under graduate. and i am quit confident that i will
pass it with flying colors. i spend a great deal of my time working
, hustling up money and brainstorming ways i can pay for law
school.
i'm back in the bay area after a short jaunt in cambridge while i
was getting my master's degree. though i enjoyed time in the
seasons, i'm happy to be back on the west coast (oakland) with the
rolling hills, sunny days, foggy summers, and easy access to wine
country.<br />
<br />
i like red wine, scarves, and cherries, hummingbirds, long winding
staircases, bernstein bears, bouncy balls, ze frank, the theme song
from house, the strength of my inhales after sprinting up a
hill...several times, sharpie markers, the smell of onions and
garlic cooking together, busboys and poets, manzanita trees,
twisting open oreo cookies, carousels, shadow puppets, pixar, how
the world smells after a thunderstorm...
i make music, dj, play outside in the sun, enjoy weight training
and video games. i read stoic philosophy, sci fi and fantasy, and
like to go out to bars and clubs. i grew up a raver in the early
90's and have been djing &amp; playing live all over the world for
20 years. these days i am more mellow, and help run a global record
label here in sf. i take my job seriously and have been extremely
successful following my passions, which currently led me to become
an executive at a video game company. i am great at disconnecting
when i go home, and ensure my free time is spent outdoors or in the
studio banging out techno or future bass. ok, and maybe i'll sneak
in a video game or two when no one's looking ;). i'm loyal and
kind; smart, happy, and fun. i always have a smile on my face and
would love someone to share my happiness with.
i come to you from a humble life and appreciative roots. i'm
engaging, educated, creative, etc. i like meeting people in person
beyond cyberland..... let me know.
hi there! i am rather new to sf (about 8 months) and originally
from the east coast. so far i am loving san francisco and have met
alot of really great people. i am pretty social and love meeting
and doing new things, so i figured this was a good way to put
myself out there. just looking to meet some people that make sf
feel a little more like home.
born and raised in san francisco ca. im mexican american like
selena i love pizza my b.day is august 16th 1988 i love singing
dancing and performing shopping taking pictures living life to the
fullest every chance i get i may not have all that i want now but
in a few years i know i will have all my dreams come true oh yes
and i am a top :)
i like:<br />
<br />
to wake up to the sunrise<br />
<br />
make it back home in time for the same in reverse<br />
<br />
to walk in beauty<br />
<br />
to laugh, including at myself<br />
<br />
watching others laugh<br />
<br />
a good purpose in life<br />
<br />
to live in harmony<br />
<br />
to cultivate loyalty, belief, and faith<br />
<br />
to stay calm, see it through the storm<br />
<br />
to say 'thank you' with something in hand<br />
<br />
to trust my intuition<br />
<br />
to observe without judgement<br />
<br />
to give my word only when i can live up to it<br />
<br />
gratitude for all the difficult situations in life: 'out of
suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive
characters are seared with scars.' khalil gibran<br />
<br />
knowing that lovers, friends, adversaries - each one teaches me,
each one reveals my shadow to the light<br />
<br />
being financially independent... because i am<br />
<br />
to not give up, it's better to fall flat on face fail
i live my life with sincerity, compassion, humor, openness and
balance. whether it's work or play, i try to extract the most out
of every moment. my curiosity is insatiable and i enjoy learning
about anything and everything. i am pretty enthusiastic about my
long-standing interests, whether it be music, cal, or exceptionally
absurd television. while i am serious about my work and hobbies, i
don't take myself too seriously. i really love meeting all sorts of
people, with their spectra of experiences and attitudes. it's what
keeps me up far too late on many weekends, talking to old and new
friends about whatever is on our minds.<br />
<br />
i believe that the world is as small or as large as you make it.
i've road-tripped through india and seen my favorite bands in
locales as diverse as berkeley and tokyo. somehow i plan to get the
top of as many mountains around the world as possible. i recently
went to the top of mt. kinabalu in malaysia, and i'm working my way
to do something like kilimanjaro. and if you are lucky you will get
to hear about the many times i've gotten myself into trouble
abroad. however, i've discovered there's as much to experience when
i venture out in san francisco and the rest of the bay area. as
long as you are open to it, adventure can be found anywhere.<br />
<br />
otherwise, i'm always experimenting with cooking. jon stewart &amp;
wes anderson are two of my favorite personalities. i'm all about
passion and if you really love the things you are doing, it'll
probably inspire me.
i have been described as easy to get along with. i have a master's
degree in counseling psychology with a specialization in
transpersonal psychology (if you know what i'm talking about,
awesome!). i don't work in the field anymore, but still see the
world through a psychological/spiritual frame. i'm trying this
website searching for a partner in crime-someone special to share
my life with.
i grew up in hawaii and a very rural special secret place off the
map in northern california. my charmed childhood gives me a real
place to call home and a unique perspective on the world. i have
both roots and wings. i am an eternal optimist and hopeless
romantic. i wear my heart on my sleeve and still have a hint of
country girl naivety. i work in healthcare and am naturally
nurturing and comforting. i have a completely silly side too. i
have dear friends and darling children (who are also rascals of
course).<br />
<br />
now here is a list of things i am...<br />
a dedicated mother, accomplished compassionate nurse, loyal friend,
freaky dancer, curvy woman, flirty girl, astute student, life long
environmentalist and humanist, green gardener, outdoor enthusiast,
chocolate connoisseur, improvisational cook, down to earth country
girl, self confident lady, silly partner in crime, quirky
california native, warm cozy affectionate hugger, poor speller,
creative artsy type, fun side-kick, reggae rocker, and lots of
other good things ....with room for improvement....
i laugh readily, sincerely, and loudly. i'm curious about
everything, and i love to brainstorm and debate about any topic
under the sun. i like to <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=walk">walk</a>, and i listen well, and i <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=hug">hug</a> even better.<br />
<br />
i am not heavily bound by convention, but i respect it.<br />
<br />
i am socially <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=adaptable">adaptable</a>, but gravitate to positive
people.<br />
<br />
i am almost always <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=lost">lost</a>, and admit it freely. this does not
just apply to navigation.<br />
<br />
i can exhibit profound patience in the pursuit of long term goals,
and profound impatience in the face of uncertainty.<br />
<br />
i'm not a heavy drinker, but i aspire to master mixology.
i'm a retired scientist. i spend my time tutoring children,
volunteering for the san francisco symphony and the de young
museum.
born and raised near paris, france, i moved to san francisco in
2010. that's something i'd been willing to do for several years and
the opportunity presented by itself, so i just seized it in an
instant of craziness. i didn't regret it a single second !<br />
before sf, i've lived a little bit in germany and in chicago and i
figured the weather here would be much better.<br />
i'm living and working in san francisco which is really convenient.
i bought a motorcycle 3 months ago and love it.
vegan. straight edge. coffee fanatic, shoe lover, pizza aficionado,
nerd. full-time corporate goon and semi-professional cinema
enthusiast. grew up in the middle of nowhere, moved to the big
city. retired from touring bands; i've seen a million faces and
i've rocked some of them.
my friends say that i'm a quiet guy, until you get to know me. i
like to sit back and listen first. i'm confident in the way i look
at life and in the things i do. i look at everything with a great
attitude because somethings you just can't change things and you
just have to go with it. i guess you could say i'm the strong
silent type. i like women that are strong in themselves. know what
they want but have a soft side to them. i own my own business. can
tell you what that is later. i travel in my business. i own a house
in italy. i do own a motorcycle and love to go on ride trips to
unwind.
if we're a match, you will know it after reading the mess
below.<br />
<br />
exactly half of this paragraph is true, including this preamble,
but you should just enjoy it without worrying which is which. my
middle name is an exclamation point. i cry; but only after
intercourse. i have a gay alter-ego, because i got sick of the
single life. i am independent to my own detriment at times. i am
manorexic. i am not afraid to use emoticons, i kick puppies and eat
kittens, and i am a karaoke star. i've met over 200 people on
dating websites, been proposed to 4 times, and have had 2
abortions. your mother will love me, you will open up to me without
even meaning to, and i will always make you laugh. i am neurotic. i
am not neurotic. i have a cat with a drinking problem. i have a dog
with a drinking problem.
my friends would probably describe me as easy going and jovial. i
grew up outside portland and went to college at santa clara. i
lived in dc for a year and enjoyed my time but knew i was meant to
stay on the west coast. i've been back in the bay for a few months
now and every day i don't regret coming back to california. i
suppose i moved back to be able to work in an industry i enjoy but
i also moved back to be closer to my best friends.<br />
<br />
i enjoy watching football and basketball and doing things outdoors,
especially camping and skiing. going to live shows/concerts are
lots of fun as well.
post punk post saturn return working class princess with radical
politics. witchy. body worker. lazy half jew. fashion forward. i
drink too much coffee. i am a home body that likes to be forced out
of the house to see new things. total slut. switch hitter. i like
to wander around, window shop, hang out in parks, smoke weed, look
at art. really into animals i have a lot of them. i garden. i am
pretty country. i am loud and bitchy but in the good way. mama.
pervert. i am totally lez, femme, and loud.
going to be in europe july, august, and part of september, so, in
the, admittedly extremely unlikely, event that you contact me, do
not expect a reply soonish. also, i like commas.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
i look up in wonder every time a zeppelin floats by and say "no
ticket!" way more often than is warranted.<br />
<br />
i've lived in three countries, one of which largely lacked cars and
one of which was very bicycle-friendly, so i stubbornly take public
transportation and ride my bike everywhere. yet i don't own any
hipster shirts announcing this fact. (i should get some, but all
the threadless.com shirts i like seem to involve cute animals
rather than bikesmostly giraffes.)
i'm terrible at this. :/ 31, 6'2 born and raised in san francisco.
currently i've been working alot, so hopefully i meet someone to
spend my free time with. get me off this site! lol
above all i am searching for authenticity: for my self. and with
those i open my heart to. no games, no drama just showing up as
honest, loving human beings, willing to be vulnerable and real, to
make and admit to mistakes and to embrace life -- both the
challenges and the joys. while i can definitely be serious about
life and its inequities i also am inspired by its beauty and can
laugh at its absurdities.
hello and welcome.
new to the east bay after living in san francisco for pretty much
all my life. finally starting a life on my own. i work for the
government so i have to live a fairly straight and narrow life
style. i still like to drink on my weekend which happens to be in
the middle of the week. get to know me and you might like me.
what the hell? *edits*<br />
<br />
not into coveting the ego. ironically, i say "i" way more than
anyone else i know that isn't into ego-coveting. i don't like
judging people if i can help it. everyone has a story behind them.
everyone.<br />
<br />
i like history, archaeology, geology, and astronomy. i also like
piercings. and pigeons; my favorite bird is the mourning
dove.<br />
<br />
i'm very passive and shy, although i'm getting a little bit better
at being assertive. i have a lot of friends and a few close-ish
ones. i'm a heavy introvert; i blame my family to an extent. they
have antisocialism as a survival instinct.<br />
<br />
i'm currently with the ever-amazing <a class="plink" href=
"/profile/alldayprocess">alldayprocess</a> and very happy, he's
amazing and smells good all the time and is prettypretty and
handsome. so, i'm only interested in making friends right
now.<br />
<br />
i am whimsical, exotic, and understanding
i enjoy kale also, but if it's your favorite food, you are either
full of shit or have seriously faulty taste buds.<br />
<br />
i almost ran over an enormous pile of roadkill that i think used to
be a raccoon on my motorcycle this morning doing about 80 on 880
and appreciated the irony of becoming roadkill because of roadkill
even as i was swerving like hell to miss it.<br />
<br />
as much as i hate to admit it, some stereotypes exist for a reason.
that said, yeah, i'm another middle aged doofus with cats. damn you
for judging me.<br />
<br />
if there is one thing that i most definitely don't want to do, it's
go learn quaint, old timey dance shit with you.<br />
<br />
i have a penchant for italian motorbikes, vintage windbreakers and
creative forms of sodomy.<br />
<br />
i am awesome, this that and the other fucking thing.
my life has changed many times. i've had multiple heart surgeries,
and these experiences have, in many ways, defined the way i see the
world. i'm looking for someone who is good at communicating and has
had life experience... a friend who i can relate to and possibly
develop into something more.<br />
<br />
i'm pretty open to anything including people of all gender
identities; i usually identify myself as queer...i like people,
regardless of how they choose to identify. however, lately i've
been leaning more towards queer men.<br />
<br />
i experience the world mostly through feeling.
i am adventurous, curious, joyous, vibrant, strong, sensitive, very
passionate about my loves and interests. committed to personal
growth. living in the present moment fulfilling my life purpose and
higher calling. forever young i love singing, chanting, dancing,
yoga, infinite play, study, and celebrate life with appreciation
and gratitude's.
i go with the flow and i say hello to strangers, i am constantly on
the look out for a new adventure, i love to create and explore, and
often don't make sense. i love tattoos and piercings, and tend to
hang out with people that are older than me.<br />
<br />
i used to work at in-n-out but am now on a life adventure and we
will see where it takes me! hopefully i will be traveling the world
for amazing photo shoots someday, soon would be nice :)<br />
<br />
im extremely independent but love having friends around.<br />
<br />
im a free spirit, that is aware of her inner dork, and fully
embraces it!<br />
i dont see a point in negativity, its a waste of time...<br />
<br />
im an open book... just ask :)
i'm a techie but an artistic one. i have a b.a. in psychology, but
never used it outright. inched my way into the techie world. i'm
always smiling as my cup is half full! during my free time, i enjoy
films, tennis, cooking, reading, hiking, weight training and
hanging out with friends. i love museums, art, architecture and
photography and good food. i'm very laid back and extremely
allergic to drama, lol. sense of humor is a must :)
brazilian, very shy, workaholic, studying english in the u.s,
pretend to attend a college someday if po$$ible.<br />
<br />
i'm not really bi, not that i know or i've never been attracted to
women until now, but i'm here to meet new people to hang out and it
doesn't matter the gender! i prefer to think that i'm here to meet
people, make friends to do the same interests and not to find a
date exclusively.<br />
<br />
one of the traits that this website got it right was "more
competitive". i love to play! it can be video games or a sport that
i know (not many though lol). now, "worse mannered"???? f*** ***
okcupid, who do you think you are?!?! i'm not worse mannered
lol<br />
<br />
i also like to go to rock concerts and i really like to meet people
that likes too!<br />
<br />
if you play any instruments and would like someone to play together
message me. i used to play a long time ago, so i 'd have to
practice again, maybe i could stay with the bass :p<br />
<br />
that's all
professional tech consultant, semi-professional bar/restaurant
reviewer and amateur writer. self appointed certified
mixologist.<br />
<br />
film drew me to san francisco twelve years ago, being near the
ocean made me stay.<br />
<br />
i studied abroad in england and learned to fence.<br />
<br />
i'm a gamer, a techie and hipster (by association - not really).
i was born in chicago, illinois but moved to southern california
when i was five. i grew up in riverside, california and moved to
northern california after attending college in the sf bay area and
been here ever since.<br />
<br />
recently moved from san jose to oakland and i love it here. it's
not as ghetto or scary as people think!<br />
<br />
my two passions in life are traveling and eating good food. i just
really like food and the whole experience of dining whether it be
in a random back alley hole in the wall place or a nice
restaurant.<br />
<br />
to me, it's all about the whole experience and the story behind the
people, the adventure and the experience. it's about how you feel
in that moment and of course about the food.<br />
<br />
my friends have teased me that when they see a picture of me and
some of my meals that i look like the happiest girl on earth.
sometimes in those brief moments, i believe i am.<br />
<br />
i am a bit of a nerd and quirky at times. love it or hate it...up
to you!<br />
<br />
also, people have called me a bit of a tomboy at times and while i
like dressing up and getting all dolled up just as much as any
other woman, i actually prefer to generally be relaxed and
comfortable.
i work in marketing for a tech company and am a first time online
dater....yup, just seeing how this works. i love to dance, anything
from salsa, ballet, hip hop, swing, tap, jazz, hip hop etc. i'm
driven, passionate, fun, enjoy intelligent conversation, and love
to travel.
profile in progress..<br />
<br />
i am a small beach town floridian who moved west looking for
adventure, opportunities, better waves, and life experiences.<br />
<br />
i am not a city person (sorry city lovers) although i enjoy
visiting i do not see myself as one to live in a city long-term. i
prefer smaller communities relatively close to the beach and a
larger city (to visit when the urge hits me).
family-oriented, low key, athletic, outdoor-loving, appreciate art
and culture while exploring new venues/experiences near and
far.<br />
<br />
a planner yet spontaneous.<br />
<br />
believe integrity is all we own in the final analysis, and treating
others fairly, even at my own expense.<br />
<br />
have one dog-kid (down from 3-dog nights a few years ago -- wish
they lived longer) and a cat.<br />
<br />
appreciate the natural world in all its glory.<br />
<br />
outdoor activities: a la jerry dunphy (newscaster): from the
mountains, to the desert, to the sea ...<br />
especially anything water-related works for me, frozen or
melted.<br />
<br />
observant, curious, and inquisitive.<br />
<br />
quirkyalone pretty much sums it up.
i am a nomad with a sense of home. i'm an adventurous risk-taker
and, sometimes, a recluse. i'm cheerfully light-hearted and
passionately serious. i am hispanic, i speak spanish, i grew up in
the mission, i lived in south america--and i am not latina. i am
very well-adjusted with a touch of awkward. and i promise, i do not
always speak in paradoxes.<br />
<br />
i want to be that teacher that the future president of the u.s.
looks back on and thanks for being an inspiration. i'm into
promoting social justice. i write sometimes.<br />
<br />
i am an easy laugh. no joke.
i'm josef. i'm a lot of different things. a photographer, writer,
good friend. i'm a brother, cousin, athlete, nerd, and most
recently uncle! i'm so many different things, that i can't even
list them all here. everyday i'm changing more and more into the
person i want to be.<br />
<br />
for me there are three major things that i can't live
without:<br />
my photography<br />
my love for anything with an engine(cars,motorcycles etc.)<br />
my music. if music were illegal, i'd rather be deaf.
i'm sweet and passionate, quick to laugh, love learning and enjoy
spending time with good friends.<br />
<br />
i grew up in rochester, ny and went to college in ann arbor, mi
although i have lost all tolerance for the cold during the past six
years of living in the bay area. i lived and worked in costa rica
for a year before coming out here and have a special place in my
heart for central america.<br />
<br />
after working with kids and families during the week, i like to
relax on the weekends. some weekends, i am content to lounge around
and take it easy in the city. i'm learning to play soccer although
i was in over my head on the intermediate team. i also like to get
out of town  wine tasting in sonoma, hikes in pt. reyes and trips
to montara beach to hear live music at la costanera.

i am tiny, sarcastic, and active
i peddle high end wears to make the bacon. meaning, i work downtown
in a luxury retail establishment. speaking of bacon.. i like mine
crispy and on an everything flagel. my usual mode of transportation
is by foot. my car is parked curbside or getting towed (not cool).
easily entertained.. i have my rowdy moments but definitely enjoy
down time.
i currently go to uc berkeley, im a pretty chill guy, i like to
listen to music and i like goin to different restaurants and tryin
out different types of food. i also enjoy playin sports, football,
basketball, hangin wit friends is cool too.
there was a little boy,<br />
who had a little curl,<br />
right in the middle of his forehead.<br />
when he was good,<br />
he was very good indeed,<br />
but when he was bad he was horrid...<br />
<br />
so, i'm kind of a smartass, in case that wasn't obvious already.
but i'm also a really good guy -- kind, loving, loyal, charming,
all that stuff...<br />
that said...somewhat ambivalent about online dating...but...i'm
open and ready for something new. this okc thing can get old really
fast though.<br />
<br />
oh and f you okcupid!!! i have excellent manners, thank you very
much!
i'm interested in meeting new friends and just checking out this
site as an avenue to meeting new guys in san francisco to make
friends and/or date. i'm an active athletic professional guy who's
interested in meeting the same. i have a good sense of humor and my
hobbies include: travel, family, exercise (jogging, lifting
weights, yoga), art, theater, movies, books (i enjoy reading),
music.<br />
<br />
i am intelligent, sporty, and charasmatic
about me, i'm pretty active. which means throwing marbles with the
boys on the sidewalk, playing jax, and schoolin' foos with my 4
square skills when i'm feeling guuuud. i don't do hop scotch
though, hurts the knees.<br />
<br />
i enjoy kindness, integrity and good calm communication. being
reasonable and balanced is my ultimate aim. (why does that also
sound insane?)<br />
<br />
i tend to be straightforward and honest with how i feel and i live
by that rule. i'd rather hear the blunt honest truth than be strung
along with a lie, yeah. i'd do the same for you.<br />
<br />
i'm attracted to those who can hang with the boys and have
something they cherish in life, whether its a hobby or some other
crazy passion. hangin' out watching movies at home and going for a
walk or two doesn't cut it if that's all you do 90% of the
time.<br />
<br />
i cherish exercise, all spicy foods, the golden rule, meeting new
people, and good communication.<br />
<br />
um.... i also jog. if you like to jog maybe i'll school you. or you
can smoke me with your asics gel nimbus 12s. i'm always up for
meeting new running partners.
i'm an optimistic outgoing human. interests include dancing, eating
and learning new things.
hi there!<br />
<br />
i'm guessing something we have in common is that we both think it's
awkward to write about ourselves. so, here's a list of random
factoids instead.<br />
<br />
i pet other people's dogs. all the time.<br />
i really like people who are kind. it's the midwesterner in me.
(i'm from south dakota. yes, people live there!)<br />
brunch is a fantastic weekend invention. yes, i realize every girl
in the city loves brunch. i am no exception.<br />
i'm a doctor, and i feel blessed to have the best job in the world.
hopefully you'll think that's great too.<br />
i have a particularly strong case of wanderlust that leads me all
about the globe every time i get a chance.<br />
i'm super organized but am also a grade-a procrastinator. ah, the
irony.<br />
i have quite possibly the world's worst sense of direction.
fortunately, i enjoy wandering around.<br />
i'd usually rather go out than stay in.<br />
i'll try (most) anything. except for bungee jumping. that just
seems crazy.<br />
i love people who make me think. it doesn't really matter what
about. i just love interesting people. and those who will joust
back with me a bit.<br />
on the outside, i'm a dress-wearing, martini-drinking type of girl.
but don't let that fool you; i'm really more comfortable working in
the developing world.<br />
<br />
i love life. a lot.
dreamer, explorer, observer, lover, runner and seeker (of
experiences, accomplishments and spiritual nourishment). easy going
and laid back yet ambitious and driven. i'm a healthy mix of
optimism and realism. my greatest fear is fear itself, and my
greatest hope is to live a life guided by my personal legend.<br />
<br />
i consider myself a nerd with a penchant for intellectual
stimulation. definitely attracted to the life of the mind, as a
connection makes everything else hotter.<br />
<br />
although i work hard, i play hard too! being physically active is
very important to me. "the obsession with running is really an
obsession with the potential for more and more life."<br />
<br />
here are a few things i like:<br />
<br />
- quality over quantity<br />
- depth over breadth<br />
- scotch over beer<br />
- kombucha over soda<br />
- stairs over elevator<br />
- two over four wheels<br />
- trails over gym<br />
- vinyls over mp3s (yes, i am an analog in this digital world)
lived in bay area all my life and i love the amount of diversity
and culture thats all around. i have loveing friend, loveing family
and 4 loveing dogs.
i am a san francisco native that fully appreciates the beauty
and<br />
majesty of the city. if you moved here for the lifestyle and<br />
culture, then we will find eachother's company most pleasing.
the<br />
same goes for fellow natives as long as you take advantage of
what<br />
our city has to offer.<br />
if you like what you see on my page, why don't you message me so
we<br />
can explore and enjoy the city together?
about me: i'm a very strong willed person. i'm super laid back yet
i possess an immense amount of drive and i'm always passionate
about the things i do. i'm a lovable, laughable womyn that likes to
party when time permits, and relax when its very well needed. i'm a
firm believer in exuding good energy and attracting good people.
i'm a dedicated lifetime learner and a lover of life itself.
"whenever society gets too stifling and the rules get too complex,
there's some sort of musical explosion" -slash<br />
<br />
hey there,<br />
<br />
i love art in its many forms, whether it is music, writing,
painting, etc... and guns' n roses too!
i'm in a long-term non-monogamous relationship with <a class=
"plink" href="/profile/qarisma">qarisma</a>. i'd like to meet
people for secondary and casual relationships.<br />
<br />
i'm in the special ed masters program at sfsu, and teach part time
at the high school level. in the past i've done alternative energy
consulting; and founded a non-profit corporation to connect various
local media groups together. my career interests have always
focused on social justice and community activism.<br />
<br />
when i'm not working, i like reading, watching films (i am a bit of
a cinephile), spending time with friends and my partner. i also
love doing various types of ballroom dance.<br />
<br />
i love to go to warm weather when i can, which is about once or
twice a year. i love pools, hot tubs, saunas and massages.<br />
<br />
i often go on hikes in the park or in the forest. i really love to
be in nature. i even love picnics at the park!<br />
<br />
spirituality is a big part of my life. my beliefs are open minded
and wide ranging and come from sources including: buddhism /
paganism / shamanism / huna. i am interested in teachers such as:
alan watts / caroline casey / martin prechtel / and serge
king.<br />
<br />
i'm committed to social justice, and often take on activist roles
in my community. i do what i can to contribute to the world in a
positive way whenever possible.
hey i'm a very active young lad that likes trying anything new. i
was born and raised in san francisco, last of the mohicans. i like
going to the beach and anything outdoors. i have a great sense of
humor and would love to meet a girl that shares the same dry humor
as me.
i am a frequent traveler and a gourmet lover. i love seeing
different sights and architecture, and experience different food
and culture. right now, i am most passionate about scuba diving. i
just love going underwater to admire the marine flora and fauna, to
allow the current drift me through a kaleidoscope of corals and
fishes, and be immersed by such natural beauty.<br />
<br />
i use to live in singapore and have been living in the bay area for
over 3 years. i joined okcupid to meet new girls and hopefully
settle down on a long term relationship. other than that, i am
pretty contented with most aspects of my life. i love my work, have
a supportive family, have sufficient leisure time, and enjoy at
least 2 vacations a year.
been living back in sf for about two years now working and enjoying
life. i make games for a living and make art for fun. taking
pictures is a big hobby of mine. right now my favorite subject to
photograph is wildlife; which makes sense since i love
hiking.<br />
<br />
i really enjoy being active outside, riding my bike, etc. it's a
good balance since my day job is pretty sedentary. i play video
games every now and then but i think i have more fun making them. i
am constantly reading books and i love learning about new things.
laughing is pretty much the most important thing to me. if i like
something, i'll laugh at it, which people often take the wrong
way.<br />
<br />
a few things that are always funny: muppets, mannequin heads,
dancing skeletons.<br />
<br />
i love dressing up and being a magical creature running around the
city, dancing, going to shows, generally wreaking havoc in
beautiful san francisco.
i've never posted a self summary for a dating site before. i find
this more difficult than writing a cover letter:)<br />
<br />
i'm a romantic at heart...secretly always waiting for my soul mate
to arrive, but in the meantime interested in meeting new people and
having meaningful connections whether they develop into friendships
or romance.<br />
<br />
i am intense, funny, and charming
pale skinny dudes need love too!
i'm sasha, and really, i'm just trying to be less forever<br />
alone here in san francisco.<br />
i'm a brazilian-italian, jewish-american mutt.<br />
i'm partially deaf, so please bear with me sometimes, and<br />
don't think i'm ignoring you @_@<br />
i'd like to think i'm a jack of all trades when it comes to
art,<br />
i love exploring different things- textile design, graphic<br />
design, beading, metalworks, painting, drawing...all that good
stuff.<br />
<br />
i'm shy when you first talk to me, but once i warm up, i'm<br />
quite silly and giggly and pervy. i'm a bi switch, and would love
to<br />
get to know some of the kink community here in sf, as well as meet
some 'gaaawths'. by all means- don't let the kink scare you off
though xd
for the first time in my life, i'm not a student. i just received
my ma and a pretty sweet job to go with it--but i have a hard time
not thinking about my next big move/accomplishment. traveling? more
school? learning another instrument? stay tuned.<br />
<br />
my interests include (but certainly aren't limited to): concerts
(big or small, but i tend to prefer intimate shows), poetry and
spoken word, dive bars and lounges, standup comedy, museums, and
movies.<br />
<br />
i haven't lived in the bay for too long, so i'm still exploring
everything this area has to offer. now that i'm done with school, i
have the time and money to do what i want, and i plan on enjoying
the things around me that i didn't have time for these past few
years.<br />
<br />
i like being outside, and i get bored after being in one place for
too long. i consider myself fortunate to live in such a beautiful
area where there's lots of hiking trails, and i love to go camping
when i have the time.
single and looking for casual dates to do fun activities
with...good bites, good conversation and if the chemistry is right,
a good time!<br />
i would describe myself as a damn easy going person and are
adventerous and open in trying new things, whatever that might be
(and that includes things that might make me feel unconfortable or
uncertain...my model is that you only live once, right!!). i know
that sounds a little vague but i'll leave that up to your
interpretation. ;-)
off to japan, and probably going to delete okc, so message now or
forever hold your peace
i'm a pretty chill girl who mainly likes fun things! e.g. playing
guitar, dancing my pants off, laughing, hanging out w nature,
exploring, cooking, learning about awesome things, and snuggling
with my kitty.
welcome, welcome.<br />
first things first, my name is nicole. i am a young transgender
woman on hormones. if you don't know what that means, please move
on.<br />
** if you like memes, please move to le top of my list**<br />
i'm a rather fun loving individual, i believe in being spontaneous
and random all the time.<br />
i don't like to deeply plan out my activities, i tend to lay an
outline and let randomness take it's course, haha. i've found some
pretty awesome food places ad various stores because of this!<br />
i am described as "blindly optimistic" i always try to see the
positive, even when it's apparent there isn't any.<br />
i love the outdoors, and always have. this includes camping,
hiking, going to the beach, exploring or biking. i basically love
the water and could live in it.<br />
i want to get into and expand my knowledge of guns, they spark a
large curiosity for me. i'd love to go to the range with
someone!<br />
i enjoy sports a lot, and i hold baseball very near to my heart.
i've been a bay area sports team faithful my whole life, this means
sf giants, sf niners, and sj sharks. no one can take that away from
me.<br />
i play a lot of video games, and tend be a bit of a nerd for them.
challenge me, i'll murder you.<br />
i love the culture of rockabilly/pinup. the look, the attitudes,
the music, the art.<br />
i also love steam punk!<br />
if you read this far, congratulations! i can be a bit of a grammar
nazi, so please know how to speak proper english when talking to
me!
recent berkeley graduate trying his best to get settled in the
real-world.
not good at talking about myself- but, i'm sweet, caring,
respectful, and hopeless romantic. if you like a guy that can cook,
loves to cuddle, and understands the difference between hearing and
listening- give me a holler.
i'm a really nice girl that loves much about life. i might define
"joie de vivre", in fact. sometimes it's tough to tell, though,
because i have a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor. i moved to palo
alto to study psychology two years ago and get yet another degree -
one wasn't enough. i'm originally from houston, texas and i miss it
quite a bit.<br />
<br />
i love traveling and have been to a great many places in europe,
some bike riding. don't let that confuse you, though. i'm not a
serious cyclist (actually, i'm not really serious... at all). i put
on bike shorts rarely and only for really good reasons. to stay
active, doing yoga is more my speed and i try to rock it out 3-4
times a week.<br />
<br />
i love driving, my car is german and has a stick shift. i'm a
little freaked to drive it in the city, but i've been alright
thusfar. i love flavor, so anything that has an interesting or
creative combination of flavors fascinates me. i'm often willing to
try new things, it's fun to explore!<br />
<br />
i'm a great and loyal friend and have serious issues with being
this self absorbed- when i act onstage, i usually make a friend
write my bio :)<br />
<br />
i am empathetic, genuine, and outgoing
i'm a recent transplant from the northeast.<br />
<br />
i excel at: ranting, reading, writing, eating, lifting, making, and
a few other ings. i say words like foibles. i like listening to
books on tape and doing accents. i like eating pickled things and
making my friends uncomfortable talking about pickling things -
haven't pickled too much stuff yet, but i'm working on it.<br />
<br />
i'm a mix of a lot of things, i was a competitive power lifter in
college. i am very interested in tech and entrepreneurship and work
in a startup and am working on one of my own. i enjoy night-time
b&amp;w photography.<br />
<br />
i believe in starting and making things happen. i'm a nerd but as
pootie tang said: whadatah! and as ray charles said: imma make it
do what it do baby.
[sung]hello!<br />
i have a lot of energy, often for doing and going, sometimes for
being and sitting. i'm attracted to people who are direct and not
shy about taking a metaphorical run on the path less taken. my
humor tends to be raunchy or sarcastic. sleeping outside is good
with me. my fast metabolism makes me a good hot water bottle; stay
close for warmth.
/friend re- my humor:<br />
"...but your type of humor/funny is like random funny. like random
shit makes you rofl and the more obscene/obscure/sexual, the
better"<br />
<br />
me!?<br />
- i tend to bend the rules of professionalism... daily.<br />
- i find beauty in imperfections, a sense of uniqueness if you
will.<br />
- i love laughing really, really, loud and obnoxiously.<br />
- i will love you a lot more if you can quote arrested
development.<br />
- i pride myself in being the exception to most stereotypes.<br />
- i've traveled and explored 14 european countries.<br />
- i'm obsessed with tracking my runs and my fuelpoints with
nike+<br />
- i'm a gchat whore.<br />
- i'm a classic overachiever and my blood type is a+ to match
;)<br />
- i'm ko-rean, but really, i'm not. you'll see.<br />
- i'm a norcal boy and i'm hella proud of it.
i eat well, work hard, and play harder(er). broadly speaking, i am
doing my best to enjoy youth, figure out my passions, and make
greater sense of the world around me. i'm a genuinely jovial
gentleman (alliteration what?!), and love exuding this energy to
those around me, whether friends or friends-to-be.<br />
<br />
i'm kind of obsessed with classic men's clothing, vintage
furniture, and good design in general. in another life, i would
probably have become an industrial designer, but it's never too
late to start anew. the things that populate our lives more
meaningful when they are well thought out, utilitarian, and
beautiful. be it a unique screwdriver or a one of a kind lamp, i'm
always on the hunt for beauty in the world around me.<br />
<br />
i'm also a huge skier and hit up the mountains on a regular basis.
i love my skis and can't live without my snow tires.
i have trouble falling asleep without earplugs. i tend to drive in
the slow lane. i like places so quiet you can hear yourself think
and places so loud that you can't. i like feeling color and tasting
smells. i'm really good at finding people's parents who aren't
their parents. like "child of et and barbie" or "tom cruise and a
lawn gnome." i enjoy life's creature comforts--refer to the "six
things i could never do without" section of this form for further
detail.
i like figuring things out in life, observing the things around me
and trying to find <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=understanding">understanding</a> in how we "tick". i
feel understanding what's around you helps you understand yourself
better.<br />
i like trying things out and learn new skills; if its something i
could learn to do and might be good at, i want to try it out. i
enjoy being outdoors(<a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=hiking">hiking</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=camping">camping</a>, snowboarding),riding my
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=motorcycle">motorcycle</a>,
playing <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=games">games</a>(<a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=boardgames">boardgames</a>, computer games, table top
games, etc)with friends.<br />
i'm very open, and honest, if there's anything you'd like to know,
drop me a line and ask.<br />
<br />
i am principled, honest, and inquisitive
who am i? well, on the one hand i'm your typical guy. i like beer,
pizza, cars, sports, and generally being a dude. on the flip side,
i think that love actually is the best movie of the 2000s (ridicule
all you want, but (1) it was a great movie, and (2) it was a
terrible decade for movies).<br />
<br />
i'm going to be genuinely interested in anything you are passionate
about. there's no better way to get to know you than let you talk
about what you love. and if you love it, it will be fun listening
to you talk about it. now, if what you choose to talk about are the
49ers, georgetown or chicago bulls basketball i might just have to
marry you on the spot.<br />
<br />
i just graduated from law school (now a summer of bar prep,
joy...), and i'm actually one of those sick people who enjoyed law
school. finals were terrible, but learning is fun. yes, i said that
and i believe it. we can be friends if you disagree, but i don't
know if we can be more.<br />
<br />
a few other generally specific things: best movie - casablanca;
best book - the republic (followed up by either ender's game or
gates of fire (the movie that 300 should have been!)); best cd (ok,
i know no one buys full cds anymore, but it's the best way to
describe "best collection of songs") - ccr's chronicles; best tv
show - studio 60 (in spurts) or west wing (until zoe got kidnapped
('cause that's when sorkin stopped writing it)); best sports team -
1991 chicago bulls (no one beats michael that year) - best
punctuation is apparently (parenthesis).<br />
<br />
i've been told that i have an opinion on everything, and that's
probably true. that said, i'll listen to your side of the
discussion on just about anything.<br />
<br />
oh, and i laugh at everything. it's not that i'm not taking you
seriously, i just can't stop being glibly wry and sarcastic.
i love <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=traveling">traveling</a>, so ideally i would make a
living out of that, but i need to be somewhat realistic. i hate
planning, and am a big fan of <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=spontaneity">spontaneity</a>. i am adventurous (love
road trips, trying new things, seeing new bands, restaurants...)
but am not into "extreme" anything. definitely more of a <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=pub">pub</a> girl than a club girl. i am
morally opposed to organized religion but i respect anyone's
personal beliefs as long as they don't interfere with my life. i
love to hike, walk, spend time with friends, movies, concerts,
theater, weekend adventures, wine tasting, bars, the beach, a nice
peaty scotch, the mountains, camping...but i also love to stay in
and chill out and occasionally spend a whole day in my pj pants and
watch tv or movies or read. generally i am outgoing and social, but
i enjoy occasional time alone.<br />
<br />
i am tall, low maintenance, and spontaneous
so we just recently had a lunar eclipse, and i made a vow to myself
to be, as they use to say in the real world..back when we knew
there was nothing real about it...get real!!! so below gives you
and idea of what i'm looking for because "until you imagine
something, it remains an impossibility. once imagined, it becomes
your experience."<br />
<br />
"imagine a lover who accepts himself.<br />
a lover whose capacity to love you non-judgmentally<br />
deepens as he is merciful toward himself.<br />
<br />
imagine a lover who takes care of himself.<br />
a lover who isn't looking for a mother replacement.<br />
who participates in the everyday details of a shared life.<br />
<br />
imagine a lover who tells the truth.<br />
a lover who trusts his experience and express it.<br />
who welcomes the exchange of truth with interest and respect.<br />
<br />
imagine a lover who acknowledges the full range of human
emotion.<br />
a lover who expresses his feelings clearly and directly.<br />
who witness your feelings with tenderness and grace.<br />
<br />
imagine a lover who is committed to a joyful life.<br />
a lover who doesn't create chronic crisis and conflict.<br />
who has the relationship skills to navigate challenging
moments.<br />
<br />
imagine a lover who enjoys the moment. a lover who delights<br />
in pleasurable sensations without a destination in mind.<br />
who allows your sexual intimacy to unfold spontaneously.<br />
<br />
imagine a lover with the depth to honor you as your age.<br />
a lover who has moved beyond the "partner as ornament"
mentality.<br />
who celebrates the fullness of your years, wisdom, and power."
karaoke butcher (and enjoying it). avid traveler. bikram yoga
enthusiast. runner. entrepreneur. drinker. wanna be archaeologist.
jokester. wanderer. swimmer. adventurer. undeclared chef. old soul.
this list could really go on and on.<br />
<br />
i am passionate about a lot of things and love the direction my
life is going right now. i hate the gym so normally stay active
outdoors. i feel sick if i go a few days with out a bikram class,
if you've never tried it you must-be prepared to get
addicted.<br />
<br />
i moved to san francisco in 2005 from san diego, got rid of my car
and got my motorcycle license. i enjoy stumbling into every bar in
the city almost as much as enjoy cooking dinner at home, opening a
bottle of wine and watching a movie.<br />
<br />
i know everyone loves to travel but i've really made it a point to
make at least one big trip every year or 2. i spent a month in
australia &amp; new zealand a few years ago and loved it! i'm
planning on south africa or morocco this year or next.<br />
<br />
i can't function during the day until i've had my cup of coffee. i
really enjoy the simple things- i'll take a sloppy kiss over a
fancy dinner any day- scratch that, you can take me to dinner too.
how can it say y'all have issue's when i find that person
attractive or interesting? i like getting to know people in person,
it is way more fun, but why not try and write a little bit about
me. i am all about humor! you have to be funny and easy going like
i feel i am. i am a very relaxed person and it takes a lot to piss
me off. i have lived all over the states including south korea to
teach english. i am in love with the outdoors and extreme sports.
this is the first time i have ever lived in a huge city and really
away from snow. i love winter and snow, but wanted to step out of
my comfort zone. i need honesty and adventure in my life. i love
relaxing and lounging around the house. i love going out and
checking out the night life scene and music scene. i rock climb,
ice climb, scuba dive, sky dive, snow ski, water ski, snow shoe,
dance, sing, draw, paint, cook, hike, camp, travel, four wheel,
cuddle, party, relax, stay fit, meditate, and etc. the list goes
on. i really enjoy being challenged or just relaxing. one of my
favorite things is to get in my car, drive to a spot where i can
watch the sunset and star's, listen to powerful music and just let
my mind travel. i am a very spiritual person, but am still in
search of what works for me. i do love my life and what surrounds
it!
fun, happy, yet like to embrace my emotional side and have a good
cry sometimes. i'm having a great time this go around in life. i
appreciate simple goofy fun. take care of myself.<br />
workout, enjoy cooking, painting my toenails, and then running
through the neighborhood in a bright orange kimono with no pants
on. i love to climb the telephone poles in far away places and snip
their wires.<br />
make sure you always avoid the very top, "high voltage"<br />
wire though, wow, did i ever get a jolt once. ummm, if i<br />
have to put the toilet seat down for you, please remember<br />
to put it back up for me when you are finished. thank you.<br />
also, no animals were injured in the writing of this<br />
profile.
british geek blinking in the california sunshine.<br />
<br />
i love being daft and surreal, turning a perfectly normal
conversation into something absurd with someone equally silly -
with a straight face. it's no coincidence that magritte is one of
my favourite artists.<br />
<br />
i'm endlessly reflective, about absolutely everything - i think
it's the only way anyone gets insight into themselves and the
world. i value integrity and loyalty and try always to be genuine,
and expect the same from my friends. very tactile, so if you don't
like hugs and cuddles we might not get on :-)
i'm many things. was born in sf but lived in mexico for 4 years
when i was a child. i'm a child of a liberal activist so i had sort
of an unconventional upbringing traveling around latin america on
solidarity brigades. i have gone to live in senegal and ghana for
five months each and these were some of the most interesting
experiences of my life. africa has taught me so much about how to
live, share, be joyful and soulful. i love culture. i am a dancer.
i am a critical thinker who's always looking to try and understand
what' going on around me. i looove music. started dancing cuban
salsa when i was 16 but now i listen to a lot of caribbean and
african music such as reggae, dancehall, zouk, coupe decale,
mbalax, etc. the world and people in it fascinate me.
i live in the sunny potrero hill area of sf and love the access it
offers me to all of bay area. there is a lot that the city offers
and i like to take advantage of that. i have a good group of
friends all over the city and the bay area. we like going to beer
festivals and microbrews and there are plenty in the area. some of
us are into wine tasting and a trip to napa also ends up happening
every once in a while.<br />
i am into snowboarding and like to go up to tahoe as often as i
can. we have a house in the south lake tahoe area that comes in
handy when we go as a group.<br />
i am also into running and run with the san francisco road runners
club. it's a great group of people and i run and train with them
three times a week. i have also started getting into more extreme
athletic events like the tough mudder and go ruck challenge. its a
lot of fun and the camaderie it helps build with fellow runners is
amazing!<br />
i also like exploring the city for restaurants offering different
cuisines and try to find a new one as often as i can. meeting
people that come from a different background than mine is something
i treasure. it helps me see the world from an entirely different
perspective and broadens my horizons.<br />
travel is another passion of mine and i plan to explore as much of
this world as possible before i call it a life. currently reading
1000 places to see before you die and adding to my bucket list.
recently added, a trip to space on virgin galactic :)<br />
for a living, i work with a cloud computing company. in addition, i
am also working on my own startup projects in social media, and
medical device to smartphone to cloud communication space.<br />
i am looking for someone to share my hopes and dreams with and
offer the same in return. someone who has a passion for life and
would like to live this life to the fullest. so lets carpe diem!!
happy-go-lucky kinda guy, big heart, like to hang out with my
family and friends. adventurous, like vieng outdoors, don't get me
wrong tho, watching a movie at home and cuddling is a-ok in my
book. no drama no bs. looking to make friends, maybe date. not
really looking to just hook-up. masculine and looking for the same.
love all kinds of music and singing too. also love to cook so if
you play your cards right maybe i can cook you dinner and possibly
serenade you with a song. shoot me a message if your interested and
would like to get to know me more.<br />

-johnny
originally from the central valley. grew up surrounded by orange
groves, dairies and open fields. nothing like the smell of cow
manure in the morning. came to san francisco for college and
decided to stay after graduation. i laugh at my own jokes or
randomly when i recall funny events. i don't always take myself too
seriously. i am easy going and love the simple things in life,
qualities that i do enjoy in others (hint hint). if you like
sarcasm/dark humor i do believe it will be the beginning of a great
friendship.
the reading of my profile is greatly enhanced with this playing in
the background. http://youtu.be/ptixbsafybs<br />
<br />
i am skylar. you could call me a charismatic freight train of<br />
efficiency and humor. my favorite thing to listen to is
laughter<br />
with nice music playing in the background. i love "my parents
are<br />
crazier then yours" competitions.<br />
<br />
i have lived in sf for 12 years. while i don't quite have the<br />
knowledge level of the city as a native would, i think i'm
pretty<br />
solid. i work a lot, but i make the most of my free time when
i<br />
have it. being active is really important to me, i'm always
looking<br />
for a new way to challenge myself physically. my bike and my shoes
take me everywhere.<br />
<br />
it's worth noting that i'm straight edge as well. it's not really
a<br />
long story, but if you're interested, just ask. this does not
mean<br />
i am against booze or drugs at all (but i don't really like<br />
cigarettes), it's just not something that i do.
i am a california native living and working in san francisco - so
much of my time is spent in or around the city. live music is a
favorite for me and i am easy to please! i enjoy rock, reggae,
indy, hip hop, country, metal, 80s, classic rock, and some
electronica here and there. my personal interests span a wide
spectrum of activities including snowboarding, camping, hiking,
lifting weights, studio art, playing / watching sports (go giants,
sharks, and errrr... niners!), shooting sports, riding motorcycles,
fishing / hunting, movies, reading, and socratic
philosophizing.<br />
<br />
tahoe is my bi-seasonal paradise - i spend a good amount of time
there during the summer/winter and i always buy a season pass to
feed my snowboarding addiction (catch me on the north &amp; west
shores). i have no friends on a pow day, or at least no friends
until lunch time and the best snow is tracked out - so if you can't
keep up we can ski together after lunch! i love camping and the
outdoors have always drawn me towards them. getting out there is
always in the back of my mind!<br />
<br />
i love working with my hands and enjoy fixing things / projects
around the house. any excuse to use power tools!
i worry sometimes about dying a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=lonesome+old+maid">lonesome old maid</a>, among my
cats so i'm on here. barring this working out, i've gotten one of
those lifealert pendants that <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=c.+everett+coop">c. everett coop</a> advertises
during jeopardy. i'm also thinking about preemptively ordering some
diabetes testing supplies from <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=wilford+brimley">wilford brimley</a>.<br />
<br />
i was saddened by the uptick in messages when i switched my
preferences to include both "casual sex" and "pen pals." if you
lack the confidence to even try to finagle casual sex out of a girl
looking for short-term dating, i won't be having casual sex with
you. this is actually very important to me: you can never show
weakness until we have known each other at least six months.
my self summary huh? i am a musician first and foremost. i play or
practice almost everyday and that keeps me alive. i love adventure
and new experiences. i love people. i love good wine, good food,
and good conversation. i don't like complainers. i like to have fun
at all times! i am a super easygoing guy ready for a new adventure.
i am sure i could say more but it sort of seems like first date
material so we'll save it for that.
<strong>in one word: addictive.</strong><br />
<br />
in a few more words: i'm human and i'm essentially myself. that
doesn't say enough, or really anything at all, you say?<br />
<br />
well, if you must have more, here goes:<br />
<br />
i'm what most people consider a smart cookie, which i think is
great because cookies are good! or they taste good, which makes
them good in my book. speaking of books, i've heard it's not a good
idea to judge a book by its cover. in that case, you probably
shouldn't judge me by mine, seeing as it's been said that i switch
between sinner and saint in the span of a millisecond. with that
said, you can't trust everything you hear, so maybe it would be
best to see me in the flesh and make up your mind about me for
yourself.
im a laid back easy going lady. i love sports games, especially
warriors and gianta games. bbq's with friends on a sunny day,
mimosa sundays at an outdoor cafe, i'm an avid crossfitter and love
playing outdoors and working out. i will always cook the dinner of
your choice....if you do the dishes.
i'm a relaxed guy that likes to laugh. i have an ironic sense of
humor, some people get it, most people don't. i'm good at adjusting
to the situation or the surroundings, but i still know who i am. i
like to meet people, but won't be the guy who controls the
conversation in a large group of people. i have a big heart and
trust people easily. i enjoy life.
i surround myself with many crazy projects, i make things, break
more things, change things and fiddle with things. usually 4 or 5
schemes on the go at any particular moment... invariably at least
one of these five will spontaneously combust, melt or explode in a
wild array of sparks and flying metal; beware, you have been
forewarned.<br />
<br />
for a living i keep fish (and other organisms lets not make this
confusing though) repair boats and work for a non-profit dedicated
to saving the world's natural wet resources.<br />
<br />
i'm working on getting a balance of my work to friends to love
ratio. i grow a lot of things, keep a lot of animals and try
perpetually learn while being o.k. oh, and i regularly laugh at all
of the terrible things which life seems to encompass and throw at
me. a lot of organisms bite me, i don't laugh then.<br />
<br />
my sense of humor is morbid, sarcastic and dry, most people who
don't know me are really, really offended.. however when you
realise that i'm "funny" you'll probably agree that i'm innately
amusing.<br />
<br />
boating anyone? i have a great idea for a jet powered kayak which
will run off of the kinetic energy of waves!!

<br />
and in tribute to the old okc:<br />
i am bespeckled, freckled and curvy.
i am a fun loving, outgoing, east coast transplant (10 years ago).
i do triathlons and love to be athletic although i generally need a
boost in that direction (i often try to con friends into working
out with me with the promise of wine later). i work with kids all
day and enjoy great wine with friends, eating burgers and sushi and
love watching football (definitely a broncos fan). i own my own
business, i travel often to see my friends and family and would
love to travel the world more.<br />
lastly for here - i have a golden retriever and he has a cat (with
tuxedo coloring) who are also attention mongers, friend to anyone
who will pet them.<br />
<br />
i am sarcastic, hardworking, and a great friend
i am a city gal who likes to make up words and wander the world.
i'm a sculptor, painter, wordlover, cook who also likes to play
barista and bartender. i love how nothing in the world makes sense
and everything is made of <a class="ilink" href=

new york city, living in the bay area for a bit over three years
now. easily amused, kind of insane, very random, always heartfelt.
it's interesting to hear both sides sometimes, but usually
bothersome when anyone takes it too far or won't stop talking. i
think that everyone is wrong about 50% of the time but that is why
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=people%0aare+so+amazing">people

i am whimsical, badass, and adventurous
i love spontaneity and synchronicity. i think i am a mermaid as i
love to be in water. what makes my soul light up and makes me
smile; kindness, dogs, kids, what i see through my camera, birds,
flowers, ocean, music, movies (foreign), delicious food and wines,
landing in foreign lands, feeling love, eye smiles, long bath tubs,
fireplaces, photography/art, elders active in the world,
integration of science and philosophy, old stones, travel, being
with my south african and eu friends, traveling to new lands.<br />
<br />
i believe that truth, understanding, compassion, respect - good
chocolate/red wine and fine tunes are the ingredients for a truly
joyful existence. i prefer quality over quantity in almost any
context. exercise outdoors is my thing. i am not a major tv watcher
but utilize netflix and my local independent video store.<br />
<br />
i was raised in south africa, studied and worked between europe and
us most of my adult life.<br />
<br />
i am nurturing, feeling, compassionate, quick, and joyful
grew up as a twinkie.
optimistic realist; a sense of humor and an appreciation of the
absurd; sensitive to others' emotions and needs; adventurous; i
like my work and where i live; i'm a runner; "sportbyke" is a
reference to my motorcycle.
i'm just here for quizzes and to amuse myself by looking at who my
"enemies" are.
well here it goes,i am a mature loves to laugh.no drama or head
games.i enjoy car shows as well as bike shows. i am a car and bike
enthusiastic.dig riding on harleys.<br />
i like old school music from oldies to rnb,rockabilly,soul
music,likes to dance.i like going to small venues ie:slims &amp;
the fillmore in sf, waling aroung in sf to old towns.i am a jeans
and t-shirt down to earth with a big heart. im respectfull and
would like the same in return.
i am outgoing, active and sincere...always love an adventure and
lots of laughs. i am passionate about my work, but lead a balanced
life - i love the outdoors, traveling to the ends of the earth and
to nearby hidden gems, music, art, food/wine and always up for
trying new things.<br />
<br />
i'm most at peace when on or near the water.<br />
<br />
i'm a curious and gregarious creature...do my best to make everyone
in the room feel comfortable. when it's necessary, i tell it like
it is (diplomatically of course) and appreciate when someone can do
the same for me. i cherish the close relationships i have with
family and friends.<br />
<br />
looking for a partner in crime with whom i can laugh a lot. someone
with integrity, an adventurous spirit, an open mind, and someone
who is comfortable in his own skin. and of course the inexplicable
connection is a must.
back in the us! but heading out to germany in a few weeks. if you
want to hang now is your chance.<br />
<br />
ps, i don't often reach out, so you should reach in.<br />
<br />
i'm a doer, shaker upper - a try to do a front flip over and over
till you hurt yourselfer. i'm a very physical person, i love touch
and think about it a lot! my goal in life is to discover the things
i find beautiful and share them with others. yes, this does include
entrepreneurship, making, hackerspaces, community, gardening,
cooking, single purpose robots who draw circles with
toothbrushes!<br />
<br />
current projects: making an airguitar with a kinect, a drum machine
made out of people using touch sensors, open source land mine
detection, globalizing the maker movement.
i am very independent both in what i do and what i think (which is
my euphemistic way of saying that i can be a little quirky). i can
also be very intense, goal oriented, and type a (when i'm not
diligently procrastinating).<br />
<br />
i enjoy being around people who have strong personalities and ideas
of their own. when i am with my friends, i like to laugh a lot, and
talk about trivial stuff, unless we're talking about serious stuff,
which we do too. i have to say that i have an irreverent sense of
humor, so if i did not hold my tongue, i would be pretty adept at
offending respectable people.<br />
<br />
i love to learn new things and think about the old things that i
learned long ago. i am driven to analyze and discover the inner
workings of that which i encounter.<br />
<br />
yes, i like mr. spock, but i also like a dose of excitement and
adrenaline in my life. flying, including aerobatics, is my
principal hobby. but don't worry if you're not thrilled by aviation
motion sickness :) i'll let that slide as long as you know how to
appreciate the fun side of life and are just a genuinely nice and
interesting person.
i'm the nice guy that finishes first. i work really hard and play
when i can. i love playing. i look forward, i'm optimistic and like
to bring light to any situation. laughter is key. i love
laughing...and giggling with my hand on my mouth like a little
japanese girl. wit is nice. i seek inspiration through people,
places, objects and experiences.<br />
<br />
i'm planing my next trip for the big 30. i want to do
europe...again. maybe japan. thoughts?<br />
<br />
i like whisky and old fashions. snowboarding is my bliss, this year
blows though. i've recently decided to take ping pong..ahem table
tennis to the next level...i also try to get out and race sailboats
on the weekends...the bay is amazing for that and cold.<br />
<br />
good movies make my day as does a great song. i'm looking for
someone to push me, floor me, i want a challenge, the white buffalo
(whisper voice), or just a terrible mistake, either works ;-)<br />
<br />
let's meet up for a drink or a snack.<br />

i'm a kind and intelligent person, and am generally pretty active.
i vary the things i do and drift from hobby to hobby, i like to
learn new things and gather knowledge. also i'm a pretty mean cook.
more of a crow than a tom servo.
i'm a creative, upbeat person. i have a bit of an wry sense of
humor but never in a mean way.<br />
my many hobbies include drawing, painting, cooking, going to the
gym, failing to learn guitar, gardening, going to beaches, zoo's,
museums, art galleries and dinning at restaurants.
hi, there. i'm a friendly, cheery guy looking to make new friends
and start a relationship. i'm moving to the bay area in august (i'm
currently in pittsburgh and don't really know people in the area
yet, so please say hello and drop me a line.
i'm quirky, simple and cute (if i do say so myself). i laugh a lot
about things that are obviously funny, or about things that are
completely dark and sinister.<br />
<br />
no shirt, no shoes, no service. if you are too poor to afford a
shirt to wear in all your pictures on this "how to meet a stranger"
website, please don't inquire within; i don't need to see your
nipples or your funky toenails until at least the 3rd date.<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />
management
i'm a curious optimist, but not naive. still believe that most
people are mostly good. love to laugh and to find something to
enjoy in every day. fulfilled my dream of being a mom through
adoption years ago; now she's all grown up and this is my latest
adventure. creative - in the kitchen, with the pen and occasionally
on canvas. lifelong tomboy with a dash of sophistication. still
love to root for a favorite team (sf 49ers and ny giants, sf giants
and yankees, but these days my sporting joy is mostly in watching
my five-year old great nephew and his team at flag football and
t-ball. lost my heart to nyc years ago as well as england and
italy. and miles to go before i sleep.<br />
<br />
in a relationship, my goal is that both my partner and i will feel
loved, secure, sexy and trusted.
my username is that mess because every fucking thing i tried was
already taken.<br />
<br />
student at uc berkeley. studying math. hate it to bits. like with a
fiery passion. i like being lazy, procrastinating, experimenting
with drugs, laughing, etc etc. oh-important-i hate politics. also
i'm not the type of person that likes to travel and be all worldy
and cultural and shit. actually i sort of hate people like that.
except that one of my best friends is exactly like that. so i guess
it's not a huge deal as long as you don't rub your most recent trip
to indonesia in my face because honestly i don't give a fuck about
your personal growth after living like a peasant. i sort of hate
europeans now after two horrible experiences living with them. but
that's just mainland europeans. brits and the irish are still cool.
i also hate intellectual-types. like, shut the fuck up asshole. my
eight grade teacher told me "everything you write is tinged with
cynicism." i didn't know what cynicism was at the time. it's funny
now, though. i have a long history of being a snarky little brat
who hates on everything. i am very judgmental. i don't think you're
supposed to be this honest on a dating website. it's all for humor
and entertainment though. one of my closest friends is equally
critical and bitchy. and we laugh and laugh. i guess i'm just
looking for someone similar. there's more to me but you probably
stopped reading at "i sort of hate europeans" so whatever. fuck
you, too.
i'm working as an actuary in san mateo. i like to have intellectual
conversations about anything under the sun. i like to play games of
all kinds. i want to take up tennis soon when the weather clears
up. i'm just throwing out random statements to see if people
resonate with them. anything i write is not going to encompass who
i am completely, you know?
my name is paul.<br />
<br />
if you like transcending this reality and creating new ones i'm an
interesting person to hang out with.<br />
<br />
i diligently look for opportunities to create a durable legacy to
improve the human condition and balance our eco-system. looking for
like-minded souls to share the journey with at varying levels of
intimacy and connection.<br />
<br />
"your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet
than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years."<br />
<br />
i am looking for new friends and also for the holy grail ... a
soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to
fit our locks. when we feel safe enough to open the locks, our
truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we
are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're
pretending to be. each unveils the best part of the other. no
matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're
safe in our own paradise. our soulmate is someone who shares our
deepest longings, our sense of direction. when we're two balloons,
and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right
person. our soulmate is the one who makes life come to
life..<br />
<br />
i am usually better at self-effacing than self promotion ... i am
my own worst critic.
i am strong as i am loving and kind. i'm looking for someone to
connect and share quality time with similar interests. i work full
time during the week and look to the weekends to connect with my
community, friends, spiritual life and nature.
i am a lover of all things. i am joyful.<br />
<br />
i fancy myself an introspectionist. my passion is exploring the
nature of human subjectivity.<br />
<br />
i went to school for a while (longer than i ought, perhaps) and
came away with a bs in mathematics and a ba in economics. i don't
know that i have any use for them, but they were fun to get.<br />
<br />
i don't have much in the way of ambition. i'd rather be happy than
successful. i very much enjoy helping people, and i hope to find a
life's work in connection with that.<br />

how do i put this into words...
hmmm, lets see, i grew up (mostly) in san francisco, and i love
this city. i'm and actor, i play ukulele, and i like to ride and
fix vintage mopeds. i love radio lab on npr. i like to go out
dancing , to the theater, or out to the park on a beautiful day. i
like to dork out on science programs, and watching movies at home.
i wish this box was awesomely poetic like your's is.
i am a charismatic woman, a wonderful friend with a great sense of
humor, creative, kind hearted, trustworthy, wordsmither,
philanthropic by design, passionate and romantic.<br />
i am known as a connector and adore international traveling. love
to be surrounded by beauty and water.<br />
<br />
i am independent, successful, healthy, educated and born in
detroit, michigan. smart enough to know that i wasn't meant to live
there permanently. wound up in san francisco because of a romantic
interlude and have never left.<br />
<br />
my ideal match should be healthy and fit, trustworthy, educated,
articulate, international traveler, with similar values and
qualities.<br />
where are you?
as a person i like to think of myself as confident but not overly.
i'm a humble man. i believe in standing up for what i believe and
not being walked on. i'm always there for my friends and loved
ones. i don't run from adversity. i care about what people think of
me because i believe in being the best man i can be. i want people
who come across me to think "hey what a cool guy". it's not about
attention for me. it's about the importance of one's own honor and
respect for those around him. i'm honest and trustworthy and you
should be too.. that is very important.:)
i'm a native californianraised in southern california and living
in the bay area for the past 20+ years. i am a friendly outgoing
woman who enjoys life, family, friends, being in nature, music,
reading, and improving the world. i am physically active, try to be
outdoors whenever i can, and play tennis, walk, hike and i used to
play golf in my 20snot that i was any good! i am gregarious and
social, but also value down time for reading, puttering or
thinking, and would respect similar needs in someone else. i am
looking for a solid guy with shared values, and an extra plus might
be knowing his way around a hardware store!
seesee: born and raised in daly city, love my mommy and dadskies. i
have 3 sisters.<br />
<br />
i have amazing friends who i love dearly. to me they are not only
amazing compared to all the people i know personally, but to all
people in life - period.<br />
<br />
i am a bruin for life. ucla undergrad was one of my favorite
periods in my nearly 30 years of living. i will do the 8-clap on
command.<br />
<br />
i teach. i've taught preschool and currently teach elementary
school. i've taught in south la, harlem, and now in the bayview
neighborhood in sf.<br />
<br />
where i've taught also speaks to where i've lived. although i won't
ever be a true new yorker or los angeleno (because i am a daly city
girl at heart), whenever i go to those places i always feel at home
due to all the wonderful friends and family i have there.<br />
<br />
i also do not pass up any opportunity to travel, whether it be to
explore a new neighborhood in sf or to nicaragua to hike up mount
telica and camp on the side of a volcano.

<br />
isn't absurd to try to link together as many personal descriptors
in a single sentence?! absurd, but funny. nah, but
seriously...<br />
<br />
i'm always trying to find new ways to grow as i maneuver through
this experience called life. i love learning and trying to master
new things, like music production, sculpture, mushroom cultivation,
beer brewing and psychology have occupied some of my time recently.
for this reason, i love travelling and seeing new peoples' ideas
and cultures. i often make friends with people who are seemingly
way different than me.<br />
<br />
i'm an extremely positive person with very definate opinions on
things. i'm into exotic ways of living, for instance, i want to
build my own cottage on land with materials harvesting by myself.
i've taken workshops in mendocino to learn about this, and it's one
of many goals in life that excites me. it's also part of the
breaking away from the system, anarchist mold that fits me best
whenever i'm not working for the man.
how do you summarize your self in a small rectangular space? oh
well, here goes: i am creative, silly and practical. i enjoy life.
i have a good sense of humor and attempt to move from a
compassionate place towards myself and others.
i love to travel and explore new and interesting places. whether
that be a new restaurant that i somehow missed, a brewfest,
meditation, yoga, concerts,...pretty much anything.
even with the busy schedule of a social worker, i spend my free
time busy with active hobbies: climbing, running, backpacking, and
spending time with friends to explore sf adventures. i'm usually
the one who says, "sounds great!" to the wild ideas like biking
down the california coast over winter break....<br />
<br />
i originally moved to san francisco from boston for graduate school
and two years later (and after graduation) i can't seem to find a
reason to leave. my west coast bucket list keeps growing and i
can't imagine leaving some of the adventures behind. instead, i
reconnect with my long lost winter by venturing to tahoe for
sunshine and snow.<br />
<br />
more about me...i grew up on the coast of maine (the middle of two
brothers) and try to get back to family on the east coast twice a
year. this also means, i'm a big lobster fanatic and say wicked
every so often i just can't break the habit. i know it would be
better if i had a thick maine accent...but i guess it will just be
one of my flaws.<br />
<br />
i do bake a mean carrot cake. i'm good at staying up late and wish
i was better at waking up in the morning. i'm in love with coffee
but gave it up for an entire year when i first moved out to the
west coast to prove a point. mission accomplished and i'm happily
back to my caffeine addiction.<br />
<br />
i'm attracted to men who are spontaneous and up for adventures;
both in and outside of the city. i'm really just looking for
honesty and authenticity. make me laugh and i'll be happy.
nola born but moved to sf at an early age.
i was born in milwaukee and lived there for about ten years. then
lived in tucson for another ten. now i have been in sf for about 5
years and i love it! anytime i am on vacation(out camping near lake
tahoe, in dc visiting family, or just about anywhere) i have an
awesome time but there is something inside me that cries out, "i
miss the bay!"<br />
<br />
furthermore, to make sure that my profile is 100% complete, i will
now place a number of characters which may or may not pertain to
myself in the least... but they might.<br />
<br />
i want to find someone highly motivated so we can push each other
to accomplish our dreams. i hope that she is fun loving(which is a
stupid thing to say because who the hell likes to be sad),
outgoing, high self-esteem, and understands 75% of the jokes that i
tell(100% here is unachievable because hey, sometimes you swing for
the fences and get sacked for a loss).
coo dude with a lot of swagg and like having fun. i could get on
here and tell you everything about me but thin what would be left
for us to get to know about eachother if we were to meet up.
i was born in san francisco and grew up in the east bay. i am
initially shy around new people but once i get comfortable, my
playful and sarcastic sense of humor comes out.
"well, one of my new year's resolutions was to say yes. yes to
love. yes to life. yes to staying in more!" - liz lemon<br />
<br />
but seriously folks, i'm an sf native that was held hostage in the
east bay by my parents for a few years. escaped back to
civilization as soon as i could. i love this city to death but
lately have been contemplating a move out of state.<br />
<br />
first generation mexican-american, first to go to college. if you
share either of these 2 qualities then we already have a lot in
common.<br />
<br />
after college i finally began exploring my artistic side. i've been
in a couple plays, taken singing lessons and am currently taking my
last photography course towards a certificate. this last one might
be the one i'm actually good at. still, i hold out hope that one
day i can sing on a stage other than the ones at karaoke joints.
i'm living in berkeley, working with <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=bikes">bikes</a>, and generally having a time. i'm a
bit nerdy, a bit excitable, and a bit silly. i know how to be
serious when it's required, i'm responsible; i care about
people.<br />
<br />
i went to school for character animation, had a great time studying
cartoons, and then decided that i just didn't have the right kind
of focus for it. now i'm trying to balance living in my body and
living in my head.<br />
<br />
i am adventurous, fascinated, and hungry.
i'm kind, successful, balanced, employed, musical, spiritual,
healthy, smart, and easy to be around.
i'm probably gonna delete this thing soon. my sweet girlfriend and
i are real happy...
i just moved to the bay after spending my entire life on the east
coast. look forward to making new friends, seeing where life takes
me and connecting the dots when i look back.
i am a 55 year old woman who sees herself as 18 in her mind's eye,
still not believing that i'm as old as my mother . . . a child of
the '50s, from birmingham, alabama, who appreciates her heritage
and all that time in our history has revealed, but has left behind
her provincial life in a southern university town for life in san
francisco. suddenly widowed almost 7 years ago after a wonderful 28
year marriage, i was face to face with the lesson that life can
change in an instant, to live life to the fullest, grateful for all
my innumerable blessings, never having any regrets. my one
incredible grown son, the person in my life whom i admire the most,
adores cooking and is doing it for the navy on a nuclear submarine.
i moved to san francisco for an internship last january from boston
to finish up my degree. currently working my dream job as a
physical therapist at a clinic downtown and i couldn't be
happier.<br />
<br />
i would consider myself to be pretty spontaneous, i hate planning
things ahead of time.<br />
<br />
i also like soup, sandwiches, sake, soju, san francisco..hmm
basically anything that starts with the letter s.
i dont like to talk much about my ,<br />
its all on you to find out ..<br />
<br />
i am funny, serious, and hardworking
**ah. my roommates thought it would be fun to change my entire
profile. now that i know, i'll be changing it back when i have a
minute. don't take anything to seriously, i do find it funny what
they wrote, and if you get a laugh, write me. :p<br />

meet sir toby cochran iii (esq). toby is a colorado transplant
living in the bay area and slowly conquering the gaming and
animation industry. a true artist and visionary of the most superb
caliber, he will be the czar of pixar by this time next year (no
disrespect to sir lasseter). like most coloradans, toby is a health
expert and an outdoor enthusiast. in his mere 26 years he has
already climbed mt. kilimanjaro and sailed the berring straight
using a craft he designed and built himself using only the finest
organic materials and eco friendly products. when not making ground
breaking films and amazing artwork, toby spends his time doing his
favorite things: training dolphins, rescuing stray animals, and
helping women in distress. he is also an amateur unicorn wrangler
and dabbles in competitive draw something. he is a lover by choice
and fighter when justice calls.<br />
<br />
ha. seriously though, i'm looking for someone who is down to do
whatever whenever, to explore sf and the surrounding areas, your
cool with us renting a car and just driving to explore. enjoys
food, better yet, you enjoy cooking together and like being
outdoors. (i spend too much time working on a computer) easy going,
no drama and you can enjoy the little moments.<br />
<br />
i'm constantly looking for ways to grow and experience new things,
i like to make sure i'm out of my confort zone by challenging
myself mentally, physically, and spiritually.<br />

i love to try new things and enjoy life. i can enjoy a day at the
beach but be just as content lounging around at home cuddled up
under a blanket watching a movie. i'm not always the most serious
person but take life as serious as necessary.. which honestly
doesn't seem that much.<br />
<br />
i am athletic, quirky, and a kid at heart
i'm a giggly, nerdy, goofy, cuddly, fun-loving woman with a
ravenous intellectual appetite. i love to try new things
(especially new kinds of food). i try to learn something new every
day.
hi! just joined, will fill in soon. :)
i know what it's like to hit rock bottom. and even though
everything around you can be falling apart, you need to realize you
have the strength to hold yourself together. i'm not trying to
sound like i'm some sort of self-righteous philosopher, i just want
people to know that no matter what, you're always in control. i
like to stay in, and i like to go out. my cat is the most important
person in my life. i like to surround myself with happy, nice,
positive people because a lot of the time i'm a cynical bitch. but
that's why my friends love me. and i love them because they laugh
at my jokes. i fucking hate the summer. give me clouds and rain,
and i'm in a pleasant mood. i prefer my whiskey warm, beer dark and
wine white. i'll always choose vinyl over any other music format. i
wear black everyday. it suits me.
a native of the bay - few other places i would rather be - love it
here in the city. i can be quite passionate at times - fun, work,
friends, or lover; it does not matter, i certainly have my moments.
every person i meet i consider as a potential friend, and i am
always looking for ways to develop my friendships... i am a fairly
open minded person and typically <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=eager+to+try+new+things">eager to try new things</a>.
i am an unconventionally intelligent person and rarely afraid to
ask questions. read me like an open book, i don't tend to hold
back...<br />
<br />

nice girl who's outgoing and sometimes a homebody....i like
karaoke, yoga, aerobics, and traveling. i am looking for some one
who is simple; honest with open communication....a good travel
companion....and have high respect for others...and the most
important...with a smile. he must be passionate about life and
family is a priority.<br />
<br />
i consider myself a happy go lucky person and treasure friendships
and god creations. i also think i am a very conservative person
with traditional asian values. you will prob. find me ordering the
same dish everytime when i go to the same restaurant. i am very
sensitive about other's feelings when it comes to love. i believe
in love is contagious and by giving is equally important as
receiving.<br />
<br />
on the other side, i can be a very stubborn girl on certain things
and you will find out once you know me well.
i am different from other men - in a good way ! i wrote an article
about my ideal woman in college - i was such a hopeless romantic -
and to my suprise things haven't changed much ! it actually scares
most woman away - guess i should tone it down a little - but my
policy has always been - if me being too nice screws things up - it
wasn't meant to be !
i've been living in the bay area for almost 2 years now and feel
like i'm still adjusting to california and the left coast. i grew
up near dc, have a part of my soul still in nyc, moved here from
abroad (s and se asia), and am so far digging it here. i feel
fortunate to have landed in oakland for the lake, its parks and
diversity. i love the mix of nature with some semblance of city
life.<br />
<br />
what else? i try to go into things with a lot of openness and
without preconceived notions or suspicion. i am flexible yet have
opinions, and i'm committed to certain ideals but don't take myself
too seriously. i'm attracted to motivated people who can also have
a great time, let go and relax.
disclaimer: open minds only....<br />
i am a scriber...i have much to say...much to learn...and much to
do. i am simple, complex, structured, chaotic, with a slight
imbalance as i perceive a world upside down as just my right
perspective. i consistently defy the odds, rise above, and fall
ever so graceful as i gravitate to all that's tasteful. my laugh is
loud, my octave low, and my hands gentle. i see life in pattern,
talk in riddle, and find solutions in the dark, i am a walk in the
jungle and refrain from walks in the park. i am educated, elevated,
and anything but stationary yet i like to watch ideas take root. i
spend nights lost in artistic translations, find freedom in
everyday emancipations, and celebrate everything related in a time
of belated...i am simply a woman who can be, see, and feel anyway
at anytime of the day...i am a borderless tigress
ha!<br />
i'm a simple guy. i love to explore, play pool, drink beers and
make people laugh. from what i hear my charm is laughter and i have
the most grammatically correct drunk texting skills. i love
football, basketball (when it's not on strike), and i've enjoyed
screaming at some earthquakes games, even though they were
terrible. noooot a big fan of baseball. how unamerican i know...
love to make art, my version of music and screw around with video
editing, free time-wise. i have a big young cat named duke
ellington; he'll instantly decide whether he likes you or not. i
love goofy stuff. also being able to laugh at yourself is a key
life ingredient.
i'm an artist.
i just moved to san francisco recently and am loving the city.
don't know much, but i do know there are tons of things to do in
the city. it would be great to meet someone cool to spend time with
and experience all that sf has to offer.
i've always heard great things about the bay so in june 2009, i
upped and moved here from nyc (my hometown). so far i haven't
regretted my decision :).<br />
<br />
i enjoy reading but to be quite honest, i don't read half as much
as i would like (or like to pretend :)) to. this is due partly
because of my work schedule. the other part is plain old laziness.
that said, i enjoy reading and i am trying to incorporate it more
into my day to day.<br />
<br />
i love, love, love music! some of my favorite genres are r&amp;b,
hip-hop, soca, kompa (i'd be impressed if you know what this is
without looking it up first... any takers?), and reggae. however,
ultimately, if it sounds good, i'll listen to it.<br />
<br />
i enjoy running. in march 2010, i ran my first half marathon here
in oakland. i am very happy that i completed the marathon without
stopping and within my time goal. depending on how my training
goes, i may run a full marathon next year. i love dancing! if i
could do it professionally i would in a heartbeat. unfortunately, i
am no where near being a trained dancer. alas, i will have to stick
to the 9 to 5 pm (more like 9-7pm) as a community organizer. i'm a
pseudo- movie buff. i love watching contemporary films, classic
dramas from the 40's-50's, independent films and
documentaries.<br />
<br />
work keeps me busy but one day i would like to spend more time
traveling. four countries that i would love to visit are thailand,
haiti, brazil and senegal (i have already been to 2 of the
4).<br />
<br />
i am a thinker, a talker, and dreamer
well first of all i am a bit of a smart ass if you can hear or
understand me, i enjoy long car rides just need a reason to take
them. i love my car, it is my life line and my point of existence
in my world, if i'm not working or working on my cars, i'm watching
a movie, or my little brother and fiends play video games, i don't
tent to play them as much as i use too, i tend to play
competitively. a few games i have gone to tournaments for but not
my criteria, i hate clubs, just hate all the haters looking at me
all the time. when i don't even do any thing, i dress ghettoize but
its just how i was raise and where. i love being out side but my
allergies limit much i can do, causing me to stay indoors and watch
anime instead.
hi, we are hillary and hallie. two girls, looking for an epic
double date. creeped out by our one on one experiences with
strangers, we decided that if we joined forces, we could at least
get a good laugh out of the whole thing.<br />
<br />
about us: we're creative, fun, adventurous, and genuinely
drama-free girls. we love being outdoors, dancing, feasting, live
music... you name it, we're probably game.<br />
<br />
you: a funny, normal dude with an equally awesome friend. message
us a double date idea and let's hit the town... or trail...
i'm from the bay area. i have a couple degrees in computers and
miss school sometimes, but i love my job in downtown sf. i bike and
run all over the city whenever i can. also, i enjoy a good night
out dancing.
no thanks<br />
<br />
chat doesnt work for me btw :/ im on a kindle...sue me! also,
excuse the strange spelling and spacing....im ona kindle.<br />
<br />
im barely on here. ~6/26/202
i'm interested in meeting people who love being outside, exploring
sf for all it has to offer, from tasty restaurants, dancing and
music to hidden gems of nature. if these are things that you're
interested in, drop me a line so we can meet and see what
sparks!<br />
<br />
i am energetic, generous, and exciting
passionate about sports, god, literature, food and drink, and
growing and getting better every day.
hi! my name is sara and i'm 20 years of age. i was born and raised
in los angeles but now moved to the bay area for school and work.
my two roommates recently got me into this site, so i really am
just checking it out. make it worthwhile ;)
i like stuff because stuff is mostly good.
i'm a sweet, caring fun, active teacher who enjoys city life as
well as nature. i'm a loyal, reliable zest for life kind of guy who
likes diversity in activities from hiking to dining out to laying
in the grass writing a poem.
affectionate provacateur<br />
witty<br />
empathic<br />
humorous<br />
creative<br />
enjoys both<br />
loving and<br />
being loved<br />
<br />
i am very good at taking care of my own needs, but having someone
who enjoys caring about me is an awful big turn-on.<br />
<br />
i am irreverent, ironic, quite humorous<br />
while having a deep appreciation for people who have had struggled
through some darkness.<br />
<br />
i am relatively independent<br />
(but secretly yearn to be less<br />
so with the right woman...).<br />
<br />
i do not describe myself in dualities.<br />
<br />
well, sometimes i do,<br />
and sometimes i don't.
i live in san francisco and have been here for 4 years. i have
lived in several cities including cleveland and los angeles, but i
grew up in lawrence, ks. i am a nomad of sorts but hope to settle
down somewhere someday. this is my very first shot at online
dating.
brought to you by way of petaluma, ca. i am 25 and i'm only here
for one thing - to have the time of my life. downers need not
respond, nor worriers, nor vagabonds. i'm a nice person, a little
too nice, but hey, is that <em>really</em> a drawback? i have many
different interests in life spanning from asian cooking(got my own
seasoned wok) to zamboni driving lessons - and so much more to
sandwich in between. i'm all about learning new languages. i can
speak a bit of spanish and i'm studying tagalog and mandarin. i
love to entertain and converse with everyone, maybe you?
hello my name is troy i am a cool guy who happens to be a great
musician i play six instruments, i have been cooking for six
years,<br />
i fix technology, i love sports like rugby and frisbee
i am never bored. i think of myself as silly interesting, charming
and very exciting if i may toot my own horn here for a sec
i'm an infj. it totally applies. =)
"thinks too much about the wrong things. clearly his mind had
become unhinged, views the world at a 90 angle from everyone else.
as likely to ask about the weather as claim responsibility for it.
one of the most gregarious, extroverted shy people i ever meet. a
wholly particular fellow. "
when i get passionate about something, i'm all in. and i've covered
some territory: edited travel guides, lived in japan, obsessively
researched vikings and how they (maybe) made it to minnesota,
finished an advanced degree in poetry writing, dropped out of a
divinity program. worked on a losing political campaign, currently
at a start-up that's looking like a winner--fingers crossed!
anyway, it's a fun ride.<br />
<br />
**i'm out of the country for a month, with limited connectivity.
please hit me up mid-march!**
i am...<br />
niki. 22. a full-time student (trying to get into nursing school).
a cashier at the theaters. random, easily amused, nice, mean,
caring, gullible, easily scared, patient, sensitive...i don't know
what else. why can't you just message me to find out?
i was born and raised in oakland. i went to university of oregon
for college. after college&nbsp;decided to move back to the
bay.<br />
<br />
would have to say that, i'm a go with the flow, practical,
realistic type of person. honesty is a big deal with me. lying will
just get you into trouble and sooner or later it will bite you in
the ass. i'm as easy going person. there is no reason to make
things difficult, just because.<br />
<br />
bit of a risk taker in all sorts of ways, money bets, physical
challenges. in the words of barney stinson "challenge
accepted"<br />
<br />
big sports fan mostly football. i'm a big fan of the 49ers and the
oregon ducks. split fan of the a's and giants. the warriors....meh
whatever. fan of mixed martial arts. did judo and jiu jitsu in
college. skier for life. have been skiing since i was 4 or 5 years
old.
hey!<br />
like many others, i'm just trying to find my place in this world
and always willing to meet some great people along the way.<br />
<br />
okay but seriously....<br />
<br />
generic stuff: i grew up in the east bay then went off to the east
coast for college. i survived the winters there (honestly it was
the muggy summers i hated the most) then i moved back to the bay
after graduation. i am currently working in oakland and living with
the parentals. don't hate me for keeping my cost of living low!
=)<br />
<br />
i am always down to laugh and eat, admittedly, sometimes both at
the same time and its not very pretty. =p i am a loyal friend and i
consider myself a pretty easy going person. although i have been
told that i can be intimidating. lol which i think is hilarious. i
like sports, basketball is my main love though. if you have tickets
to any warriors or giants games then holler!!! hahaha<br />
dancing is a somewhat recently discovered passion. specifically hip
hop and step. i'm really not that great of a dancer but i try! i
was on my college's female step and hip hop teams and enjoyed every
minute of it! i also like to have open discussions....kind of takes
me back to the days in the college dorms...so please don't bother
me if you don't like a girl with a mind of her own. and finally, my
family is a huge influence in my life and i consider their opinions
pretty heavily.<br />
<br />
if you made it this far give yourself a pat in the back!
some of us have known where we want to go with our lives from an
early age. it's just take a while to get here.<br />
the earliest memories i have of being a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=dom">dom</a> were in kindergarten. i was always that
little boy on the playground who managed to be the doctor when we
all played. in fact, i was the one who instigated it most of the
time. and while i have had a few breaks from being a dom over the
years, mostly in an effort to find myself, i remain a strong,
loving, sometimes playfully scary <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=dominant">dominant</a> still. some time ago, i spent
a few years figuring myself out. and though it's a cliche, i came
full circle to find myself back where i started, but being able to
see myself in a new light. i know who i am. i know what i want from
life. and i know what i want with my partners.<br />
i've lived most my life here in the bay area, although i've lived
in london, san diego and la for short periods of time. in 2005 i
finished my masters in business administration, and i love riding
my motorcycle. i taught my wife to ride a few years ago and she
recently purchased a really great bike. among my favorite fetishes
are, etiquette books, strong and intelligent women, silver tea
sets. i'm also really into staying healthy and plan to live to be
110 and in good health all the way. to accomplish that, i work out
at the gym 3-5 days a week and really love it, and eat really well
about 90% of the time. lately my wife has been throwing sunday
football parties with a girlfriend of hers, they are much bigger
fans than i am, and i cut loose from the healthy food with some
dark chocolate and scotch, pizza and other yummies.<br />
<br />
i am a daddy, dominant, and big hearted
hi,<br />
i am a 6'2", 245lb., 47yr. old black male with a mixed racial
heritage<br />
white british father/black american mother. with no<br />
entanglements (i.e. no children or other girlfriends)<br />
my birth sign is cancer. i spent my early years as a<br />
resident of n.y.,n.y. and consider myself well<br />
traveled and of a cosmopolitan nature. i do not<br />
participate in any organized religion, i do however<br />
recognize that there is something greater than the<br />
human race and believe that we are not intelligent<br />
enough to name it. if you choose to call that line of<br />
thought spiritual, then so be it. i have two college<br />
degrees and can hold up my end of a conversation. i am<br />
an x-jock, who continues to works out on a regular<br />
basis(but not a muscle head) and so i am still in decent<br />
shape. i scored a 46 on the real age test!
ich habe ein bischen deutsch gelernt! und du? hahahahah. speak a
few different languages and looking to talk mess with others that
can hang with this. jeopardy king is what i proclaim, but a certain
few kick my ass every time! all of the stats in the "my details"
section are true; have heard so many stories of dudes showing up
being shorter and fatter than they reveal online.
how to summarize myself... let's see, if i were a season, i'd be
fall. if i were a wild animal, i'd be a wolf (alpha or lone? both)
a city--i'd be a cross between manila, paris and san francisco. if
a movie, amelie meets kill bill. i like metaphors more than
adjectives, tequila more than vodka, relentless tropical rains more
than the sf summer fog that goes on and on and on. i like doing
things that make time go slow, or fast, or exactly at its own
pace.<br />
<br />
i am creative, fiery, and funny &amp; strange.
i like my feet on the ground. i make plants thrive, okay sometimes
they die. i love snuggle time in a tent. i run short distances and
hike long distances, never on a treadmill. i wear lots of
dresses.<br />
<br />
i grew up in iran till twelve and since then the bay area has been
my home. i tell elaborate and at times juicy stories. kindness
matters to me. i wish i was better at baking sweets.<br />
<br />
i have lots of notebooks. burning man can eat my poo. i like
getting older. hotsprings and road trips rule.
i'm new to meeting people online and am keeping an open mind!
interested in all on the spectrum of hanging out to 'etc.' know
what that means? i don't.<br />
i can be reserved, generally gravitate towards humorous, sincere,
passionate-"nerdy" folks who like animals and think outside
themselves + the bay area. i bike everywhere. love it. i get out of
the city. love it. i just splurged on androgynous shoes. love them.
love mangoes. are you a mango? or a bicycle?
a fly guy.
i'm not a stripper or backup vegas showgirl. my screenname comes
from one of my favorite albums of all time.<br />
<br />
i'm fun and funny. try me.
i'm a not so recently relocated (formerly bicoastal) student of
architecture.
i've been in san francisco for 25 years and i don't fit in even
here.<br />
but very very good at appearing to fit in. perhaps too good.
intellectual and literate, i can also be goofy, but i detest
bourgeois triviality, even in myself! very sophisticated in an east
coast kind of way, but a real down home streak, too. dabbling poet,
musician, actor, dreamer, hard worker, dancer, reader, extremely
hip but not a hipster...lover of plants and animals, french red
wine, and all the arts. mildly bohemian, traveled, often a loner,
very nice, stubborn, exuberant, lazy, hilarious sense of humor.

conundrums of quirkiness. open-minded, neither right nor left,
materialistic nor ascetic, atheist nor devout. life more life and
everything in between. i don't despise money, but i despise the
worship of it. look like the girl next door and i can be a little
schoolmarmy, but that belies a wild and whimsical streak. i am more
glamorous than the photos i chose to display. plenty of education
from east to west...i love to learn. don't own a cell phone or a
tv-- whoop di doo. but i love my macbookpro...<br />
<br />
at the risk of sounding like an ass, i'll say i don't expect to be
appreciated by anyone here on okc. and will pull this
silliness<br />
soon, i guess.<br />
<br />
obviously, there is more, given my advanced age, probably more than
i'll ever tell you unless you are adept at providing collaborative
venues, in particular, a very you venue...
i am happy :)<br />
i am fun<br />
i am bubbly<br />
i am sporty<br />
i am a workout junkie<br />
and i am wickedly smart
i'm from southern california originally but moved to the bay a year
and a half ago to attend graduate school and to escape my orange
county up bringing.<br />
<br />
i'm a social worker. it's not just my occupation but it is very
much a part of my identity as well.<br />
<br />
my hobbies include reading, cooking, reading about cooking, eating,
and more recently hiking and crafting.<br />
<br />
i love quotes because i find something so powerful about being able
to say what you want in just a few short sentences.<br />
<br />
i'm value my independence and personal space but i love people in
general and value my relationships above almost all else.
i'm creative, spontaneous, analytical, and empathetic. i love
meeting people, having fun, and new experiences.<br />
<br />
i am in a mutually open relationship with my long-term partner,
<a class="plink" href="/profile/revoldrawkcab">revoldrawkcab</a>,
who is living in another city. i identify as polyamorous.
i'm an easygoing girl who loves to spend time outside whenever
possible - hiking, running, skiing and playing tennis (not well,
how i played in hs is questionable). give me a glass of wine, time
with friends, some snacks and i am a happy girl.<br />
<br />
born and raised in the bay area, i ventured east to colorado for
college and had 7 wonderful years living in colorado. i love living
in sf though i do miss colorado's warm summer nights and still
think it's wrong to wear a pea coat in july.<br />
<br />
i love trying new restaurants, from vegan mexican cuisine to the
newest pizza place and everything in between. on the weekends
you'll find me hiking in marin, running to the golden gate, hanging
out with friends, hitting up a new restaurant, watching the buffs
play, catching a local concert and just enjoying sf.<br />
<br />
i'm equally happy at home on the couch with a good book or movie. i
love to cook at home and try out new recipes with friends. i am
currently obsessed with burrata and try to put it on
everything.<br />
<br />
i love to travel and explore new places and am usually day dreaming
about my next adventure - next up cambodia and bali!<br />
plotting on greece and turkey for 2012.
i was born and i haven't died yet. i think that sums me up pretty
well.<br />
<br />
okay, i'll write and actual summary.<br />
<br />
my name is alfredo.<br />
i'm mexican, born and raised in mexico city.<br />
i'm an aspiring filmmaker and i'm currently going to art school for
film. i watch lots of movies (see below)<br />
people often tell me i'm a nice guy and i guess i trust their
judgement. i enjoy discussing movies, tv shows, art, politics,
literature, and pop culture in general. i also like to make people
laugh and like to be around people i can joke around with.<br />
<br />
i'm also 420 friendly, which is important to note, i guess.<br />
<br />
oh, and i have an afro. that's important to note because ladies
love the fro..........so i'm told......by the ladies......you know
what forget it.
hey, i just noticed you noticing me and wanted to give you notice
that i noticed you too. =) i would describe myself as a caring and
open person. i'm looking for someone more of the same but also
different. if your interested just send me a short message.
lived in sf bay area most of my life. come from catholic family,
but not catholic now. spiritual-meditative bent. outdoors, hiker,
swimmer, photographer, musician. enjoy comedy and compelling
dramas. art. architecture. history. warm ocean water, where you can
swim over the shallow reefs and explore under the changing tides.
two wonderful children--no bias. good stories. humor. baseball.
yosemite. zion. grand canyon. sedona. seattle. chicago. paris.
i love nature and the ocean. i love to take long walks on the
beach. i enjoy hanging-out with friends and loved ones. i love to
be home, especially on cold rainy days with angelheart, a beautiful
and lovable cockatiel that i have had for many years. walking on
the beach during sunsets is a wonderful way to end the day!:)
to keep it simple,<br />
<br />
i just graduated with my b.s. a little over a year ago and i'm
working right now. i'm pretty much the real laid-back type,
independent and love to have fun. i hoop too and i've been playing
ever since i was about 8 or 9, so i'm real athletic (that's a plus
in girls too). i definitely don't have time to deal with drama and
any girl that's high maintenance. i dont want to put my whole life
in this box so i'll just leave it like this and if you have any
other questions, you can just hit me &amp; ask me...race doesn't
matter, i'm pretty open-minded.
i created my entire profile on my cell phone in five minutes.
ignore any typo/misspelling. life is about experience not
perfection. i believe that family and friends are first. i would
rather be out with friends at a concert or trying a new restaurant
playing b~ball, climbing, hiking chilling at the beach, taking in a
live raiders or a's game than sitting home. i am very driven and
goal oriented. i enjoy meeting new people and trying new things. i
have two jobs and im in school. one of the things on my bucket list
is to meet the dalai lama. i also want to dj.
i am a kinky, queer radical. gender is masculine of center, but i
am still a fan of lam and pointy studs. i have (m) as my gender
for okc because i dont want to be approached as a woman even though
neither of the categories properly fit.<br />
i live in sf.<br />
i am a kitchen top, i love being involved in the process of food,
from garden/farm to the stove to the table. i love animals, and i
havent eaten meat for 9+ years. my status says mostly vegan,
because i do eat honey and i am sometimes ovo-lacto.<br />
i am not rich, but what i lack in wealth i definitely make up for
in my spirit/resourcefulness. after living in santa cruz for
several years i got fed up with privileged people who pretend to be
poor to get anarchist "street-cred".<br />
i love body modification, especially tattoos and i have several
myself.<br />
&gt;something to think about<br />
humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion,
wages war, and kisses with lips. so in a way, the more you kiss
with lips, the more human you are. and the more you wage war.<br />

catering businesses. looking for the next chapter in my life.....
cheerful, great sense of humor, enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
love traveling, have my bag done and ready to go in a blink of
time. enjoy the history, culture, architectural and culinary styles
that this world has to offer and one of many reasons of why san
francisco is my favorite city over all.
what's up?? i was born in berkley raised in new orleans and now i'm
back in the bay 28 years later, living and loving life. i don't
know many people in the bay, but i'm always down to meet cool
people.
nice to meet you guys, i'm ryan. for 3/4 of my life, i lived in a
few small towns in ohio and michigan and while i now live in a big
city, i love having the small town pespective as well. afterwards,
i moved to los angeles for grad school and once that was done,
moved here for my first real job. i've now been at the same firm
for 7 years and i continue to grow in my career. things are good
from a professional perspective. i enjoy my living situation, as i
live in my condo in noe valley that i remodeled last year.
currently, i have two roommates, a guy that is also originally from
ohio (found on craigslist) and a lovable cat that i adopted from
the spca :) i'm missing that right guy in my life that challenges
me and complements me (compliments are nice too :p). that's why i'm
here, to find the right guy that is...
i have a healthy curiosity for life. i believe in working hard and
playing hard. some weeks, its not unlikely for me to work 60-70
hours a week and then spontaneously go backpacking the following
week. keep it simple. life is all about balance and doing what you
love.<br />
<br />
i often crack jokes. maybe at you, but mostly at myself. i'm easily
amused and easy-going. when at work, i work. when at play, i want
to laugh and have fun. so come join me and let's laugh at the fun
we're having.
outgoing, new to the area, just came over from the east coast,
mass. looking to meet people, maybe the right one if he comes
along. i enjoy the outdoors,sunsets, acool cruise through the
countryside, and love music. (all kinds)
i'm 25 years old i go to school at napa valley college i drive i'm
from vallejo ca (the bay area) i'm hella cool down to earth open
mind person very deep thinker and sexy might i add to lol if your
looking for a nice guy or a nice time well the buck stops here....
so drop that message in my in box baby
i'm a genuine, compassionate, creative guy. hard working but make
time to play when i have a good partner. i enjoy being with people
who posses rare empathy and compassion, awe and curiosity, charm
and wit, and like a physical or intellectual challenge.<br />
<br />
i am compassionate, creative, and driven.
major hobbie is staying at the gym, cooking up life and making what
i have something spectacular. i love working with others on higher
levels. very into energy work.<br />
<br />
i am a free soul.<br />
<br />
i am very sincere and passionate once i have found that special
someone, very devoting.<br />
<br />
free thinker, idealist, eccentric, unique, flamboyant, one of a
kind for sure.<br />
<br />
nothing too poppy. i hate most of whats on mtv. sorry not hattin
just telling you how i feel<br />
<br />
i sometimes spend a lot of times in my head and it is a double edge
sword. i can do a lot for people but when they ask how i did it
that is harder to explain than actually doing it.<br />
<br />
if you have read this far then ask yourself this, would you rather
i serenade you with false hopes or speak to you with sincerity and
being genuine?

my life philosophy is that life is short and should be lived with a
fiery zest. i try to bring joy to those around me. i'm one of the
most optimistic and honest people i know. to a fault.<br />
<br />
i've been told that talking to me is therapeutic. i'm mature for my
age. my vibe is one of intellectual curiosity. in my opinion, the
only thing better than a great conversation is a spontaneous
adventure.<br />
<br />
i grew up in denver with the rocky mountains at my fingertips. i
moved to the bay area after college to pursue my dream of making
the world a better place through technology.<br />
<br />
you must be passionate. about anything. it doesn't matter what. you
must be confident, determined, fun-loving and open-minded. know the
difference between your and you're. bonus points if you pride
yourself on being unique.<br />
<br />
i don't place strict rules on characteristics out of our control,
like height. if you're 8'11", i'd be thrilled to date you.
i write, teach fiction writing, and love tacos. i spend a lot of
time reading and riding my bike, and am hooked on the fiction of
southern writers.
typical "boy next door" with skater/surfer/prep looks and style in
downtown sf. live and work near embarcadero station within view of
the ferry building. wrestled in hs, swam for fun in college.<br />
<br />
tend to go for guys around my age or younger. most guys guess i'm
about 25-27ish, and my bf is 20. looking for guys to get to know,
hang out, chill, become friends, who knows...<br />
<br />
sexually, i'm versatile and into just about anything safe and sane,
some fetishes and kinks too, just ask! i test every few months for
peace of mind, (neg 12-1-11)
i'll take the forest and the trees, please. though somehow i am a
city girl at heart. and as i explore all of these things, i'd like
a partner in crime.<br />
<br />
also, i am full of cheese.
this is my first time at this.<br />
<br />
i am looking for someone open-minded and somewhat adventurous. i
enjoy dancing, although i am not very good at it. perhaps you could
teach me?<br />
<br />
i am very creative. and i consider myself pretty artsy. i like
drawing and painting. i also like lettering.<br />
<br />
i like to go out for a nice relaxing evening: dinner and a movie. i
also like to curl up to read a good book or watch bad tv. reality
tv is my weakness.<br />
<br />
i like hiking, camping, biking, and being outdoors. my dog is
pretty great. he likes the outdoors too.<br />
<br />
i am open to trying new things, so i am pretty adventurous. what
about you?
i'm an energetic, outgoing, and open individual who enjoys good
conversation with good people.<br />
<br />
i would generally be considered guy's guy who likes doing typical
guy things. i snowboard, i watch sports, i play golf, i enjoy irish
whiskey and micro-brewed ipas, i love dogs, and i hate doing the
dishes.<br />
<br />
in addition to everything i listed above i read books, i enjoy
traveling internationally, i like live music, and i enjoy and
obscure movies.<br />
<br />
i talk a lot, but i ask a lot of questions and genuinely listen to
what others have to say. i am passionate and opinionated, but i'm
open-minded and appreciate other people's points of view.
strengthening current relationships while creating new ones is
where i most enjoy spending my time and energy.<br />
<br />
i'm not really sure how to wrap this thing up, so if you want to
know any more about me, keep reading or shoot me a message.
i'm always active. i love being out doors. i'm a hiker, biker,
soccer player, swimmer, and runner. i love ice cream - it makes me
happy. cooking with a glass of red wine is my favorite thing to do
after a long, stressful day.<br />
<br />
i'm a social butterfly. i've spent the last few years getting to
know san francisco. i love it here. i enjoy the quaint back allies
and little mom&amp;pop shops that give the city its unique
character. i even like antiquing (yes, i said it).<br />
<br />
i'm also a dork. i love movies and waste a lot of time online (like
i'm doing right now). i make stupid jokes with my friends, read
failblog, xkcd, fark, and other inane sources of 'news' -this is in
addition to the-much-more-stuffy nytimes, cnn.com, economist, etc.
i'm one year from retirement and want to start a new chapter in my
life. i'd love to meet someone to write it with,
i'm relatively new to san francisco and am looking to meet new
people. at 6'-4" and a former football player, i tend to smile a
lot to be less intimidating. i'm very into cars (shows and drag
racing), photography, exploring the coast, and ice hockey (yes, i'm
a black guy who is into hockey...yes, i'm comfortable with that). i
like to travel too, but have checked a bunch of places off my list
over the past few years - suggestions are welcome!<br />
<br />
i believe in courtesy, humility, and treating people with respect.
you do too ;-)<br />
<br />
biography stuff:<br />
from detroit, grew up in texas, mit undergrad, worked as an
architect in london, mba from columbia in nyc, lived in la for 4
years (really loved it there), and am now in san francisco.
taking risks that are pretty career averse at the moment.
i am doing what i do.<br />
<br />
a pain stabbed my heart as it did every time i saw a girl i loved
who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world<br />
-the reason i am on this site is to meet the woman that passes on
the street that i didn't get the chance to meet.
i am a passionate woman with a thirst for knowledge. aka a huge
nerd. i love to read and i love to dance (though not at the same
time... sounds dangerous). i don't drive, and mostly walk
everywhere... i find it very relaxing. plus, you know, muni. i can
be shy at times, but i have a playful side that comes out when i am
comfortable. child at heart and all that. i love to visit new
places, but left to my own devices i tend to get lazy and stick
close to home. i try not to be too idealistic for my own good, and
i usually succeed.
born and raised in san francisco, with a ten year intermission (not
too far away). now i'm back (from innerspace) and figuring out how
to walk on hills (not heals). i live with my mother in the lower
nob hill, though i grew up in the sunset district, which had hills,
though not quite as steep.
easy going individual. don't let the little things get to me.
eternal optimist. i love the beach and sunny weather, but also
appreciate the mountains and winter. more or less i try to be all
up and down the state as much as possible and am always wondering
if i have enough gas to get me where i want to be. i attempt to
have proper punctuation in my text messages. i'm honest,
thoughtful, and very passionate about my interests. being outside
is always a plus. i love to hike and play disc golf with my buddies
and dog with a few craft beers in my backpack. i love swimming out
past the breakers, and watching the world die, and or grabbing the
reef when all duck diving fails. (points if you understand any of
that) obsessed with music.
i could say that i'm an out going person who likes to have a good
time. i love the outdoors, dancing, music, great conversation,
laughing and joking around. all in a nut shell! lol ;) i speak
fluent spanish, english and sometimes spanglish! i work out by
dancing, in my livingroom and the dance floor.. ;)
cultured, witty, athletic, intelligent worldly refined lady seeks
man of perspicuity to have fun with. he may be rich, he may be
poor. his occupation should not be nefarious. his marital status
must be nil.
i'm beginning to catch sight of the end (hopefully!) of a midlife
transition, going on several years now, in the areas of career,
relationships, interests and personal identity.
like yeast, i rise to the occasion.<br />
<br />
like a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=medium-rare">medium-rare</a> steak i.. uh... have a
cool, pink center?<br />
<br />
i'm into art, even when i think it's kinda bullshit. i dance even
though i'm pretty sure people are watching, and i sing even though
it makes animals and children uncomfortable. i like people who are
graceful, compassionate, humble, and giving, and wish i could be
more of those things. and i like choco tacos. mmmm.
i'm not above feeling flattered by friendliness in dogs.
i tend to call it like i see it and i see you lookin' at me! you
have to be able to handle this (bull)shit. my humor is dry &amp;
snarky, but interestingly i hate that type of humor most in tv and
movies. probably because they aren't doing it right.<br />

<br />
i am looking for someone who is more fun and more energetic than i
am and who won't take my (bull)shit too seriously. i am fun, but i
don't want to be the fun one, you dig? i want something real &amp;
lasting, but i'm not in a rush. i believe in romance &amp; mutually
taking care of one another in a relationship (once we get to a
relationship that is)
i'm not sure what you put in these profiles exactly but here
goes:<br />
<br />
i'm any easy going hard working guy, and a charismatic
introvert.<br />
i'm looking for more than a one night stand.<br />
i identify as queer and i am a masculine transman.<br />
i am generally grateful for the goodness in my life and seeking a
real connection and someone to share adventures with.
<strong>"we have lingered in the chambers of the sea, with mermaids
wreathed with seaweed red and brown, till human voices wake us and
we drown." -t.s.elliot.</strong><br />
<br />
first of all, i made this profile at 4 in the morning in a fit of
mania from a night of dancing and painting...<br />
i am a passionate inspirational artist, who will help shape the
face of culture and society with my actions, art, and words! i love
love, in the most unconditional of ways, although intimate love is
important allbyitself. i also enjoy absurdity, and surrealism.
hunter s. thompson once wrote that he was on the quest to find the
american dream, and i intend on honoring his name by continuing his
work. on a different note, i practice shamanism and working of
energy within those who are disfunctional to better help all of my
relations to take the next step in evolution. i believe that
gratitude is the key to our collective human evolution from the
management of scarcity that is our current motivation, and with the
abolition of the trappings of clandestine power; our co-creation of
a more symbiotic and therefore healthier human condition will
begin. if you enjoy poetry, read the lovesong of j. alfred.
prufrock. for some reason every time i read that poem, the last
stanza fills me with tears, and they overflow from behind these
eyes to better meet with gravity's grace and fall to earth so
gently like a kiss could have been placed...
i grew up mostly in new jersey, then moved to new york after
college, a plan i'd hatched as a kid, or was it by sheer magnetism?
it didn't really work for me, and that realization was cemented
when i came to live and school in berkeley, now 25 years ago. in
addition to getting absorbed in a (mostly) fun grad program, i
loved the idea of escaping to the outdoors by running/ biking up
the hill from campus and continue that habit to a lesser degree
today.<br />
my best friend's brother went into architecture- with that small
inspiration, i decided to give it a go and have been in the field
ever since, liking the practical side as much or more so than the
theoretical. i like using a hammer.<br />
i was married in 2001 to my friend of many years and we went on to
have two girls who are now 8 and 11. the girls are very much at the
center of my life. the relationship shifted away from romantic, tho
we remain friends and co parents. we have not divorced but will not
be going back. she is now living w/loving another mom and her 2
kids, so lots of adjustments for all concerned.<br />
at this point, having had some time for things to settle, i feel
like i'm ready to create something new.
i'm a very active, driven kind of person. i would describe myself
as genuine, adventurous and loyal. i've been to and seen a lot in
the world. i've had a lot of up's and down's (who hasn't?) and
choose to make the most of every day.<br />
<br />
as far as interests, i love checking out live music, dining with
friends, hiking, and distance running. i like the sf food scene,
and i'm one of those people that has to check out that new
peruvian-asian-fusion-omg-place. but i also like cooking a home
cooked meal, with a lot of e for effort and l for love. i took a
day cooking course in marrakesh, morocco and learned how to cook
tajine, tomato salad, pastilla, -- maybe i can fix you up something
zesty?<br />
<br />
i'm looking for someone that's a bit of a softie, cool to be
around, can get along with the buddies, and... can get funky on the
dance floor ??!?!? chemistry is important, and so is trust and
communication. let's check out more of the city, have some fun and
laughs over some cocktails.
a bit of a mystery
design lover, music enthusiast, slow runner, list maker, coffee
drinker, food muncher, crafting, travel junkie sums me up pretty
well.
22 year old lady, californian born and raised. once, i tripped over
my shoelace and broke my arm trying to catch myself. i really
wanted to get a green cast, but i ended up being stuck with pink.
i've fallen in a routine of work and sleep and i would love to meet
someone who can shake me out of that!
i've recently moved to san francisco, would be nice to meet someone
to go skiing, hiking, drinking or even playing scrabble with, but i
have to admit that a boyfriend would be even nicer.<br />
<br />
i'm warm, optimistic and spontaneous by nature, but because of my
education and occupation i also gained more down-to-earth,
analytical and practical side - both seem to complement each
other.<br />
<br />
i'm a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type. i just find it so much
simpler. if you think it makes me seem a bit plain,tough... i don't
have a fancy car to flaunt and i probably don't know which bar is
the-place-to-go-and-be-seen. (i have no problem with nice cars,
just don't get particularly impressed by them)<br />
<br />
i have no set expectations nor boxes to tick. however, i find wit
and sarcastic sense of humour terribly attractive. even if it's a
joke made on my expense. go ahead, be my guest! :-)<br />
<br />
(just please, don't over-analyse this questionnaire, let's leave
something to talk about on the first date :-)
i am a dedicated bibliofile but not (too) snobby about it - i'd
like to say i keep a balance between my appetite for excellent,
sometimes non-traditional fiction and trashy mags. i have had a few
lives all rolled into one amazing adventure over the last three
decades - artist, educator, academic, traveler. into each of these
endeavors i have passionately thrown myself completely, and that's
generally how i conduct my relationships as well. however, i am
looking for a bit of temperance and balance all around in my older,
wiser age.<br />
<br />
i just received my ma in interdisciplinary humanities, with a
concentration in visual studies (art theory &amp; criticism).
before that i attended art school in chicago, studying photography
and printmaking, and worked alternate years in nyc or various
farms, art organizations, or other random employment situations
abroad in greece, italy, germany, ireland, and guatemala.<br />
<br />
i am at heart a traveler and adventurer and i love cultivating the
feeling of being (metaphorically) upside-down, learning both about
some new amazing place or perspective or person and consequently,
myself, as i turn myself right-side-up again.
single man here in the marina district of san francisco. i've been
here for 6 years now and love it, but i will always be a texan. i'm
looking for men to explore this great region from tahoe to vegas to
la. i'm very well traveled and it's one of my passions.<br />
<br />
i like most of the bs people write in this section. i enjoy skiing,
blaming others, running, walking really slow through intersections,
working out, hiking, red wine, scotch, and dinner out with friends.
but really i'm kind of a homebody and enjoy cooking and movies at
home.<br />
<br />
my type of man is masculine and hopefully a little funny.<br />
<br />
i'm hiv- (tested 1-18-2012)
"you know what they say about love and war?"<br />
"yeah, one involves a lot of physical and pychological pain and the
other ones's war."<br />
<br />
"until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that
under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker
in the world. if i moved to a martial-arts monastery in china and
studied real hard for ten years. if my family was wiped out by
colombian drug dealers and i swore myself to revenge. if i got a
fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out
street crime. if i just dropped out and devoted my life to being
bad."<br />

<br />
anyone that can make themselvesme sound super interesting in a
sentence or two is probably full of shit, a douche or both. that
said im a top neurosurgeon, particle physicist, race car driver,
rock star, comic book hero, and probably the last hope of the human
race. my only weakness, humility.
i am an outgoing person that loves to laugh, smile, be with my
friends, and get out of the city often. i am still in love with san
francisco. i have been here 9 years and really dont see myself
leaving anytime soon. i recently fell in love with scuba diving and
would love to live my life on an island eventually. i am into going
to see bands play, dance nights, baseball games (but i really dont
care who wins), karaoke (i cant sing, at all), having breakfast
with friends or just my book, walks without intentions, photography
and people watching in the park. i am not really into guys in flip
flops, dave matthews band, macho bros, and football.<br />
<br />
i am sweet, extroverted, and usually joking
writing about myself seems weird, at least for this. but i guess
it's pretty important. i am a laid back person, my favorite thing
to do is just hang out. mostly at my apartment cause i am a broke
college student. i don't really know what to write here...
i'm sincere, passionate, open-minded, adventurous, playful,
affectionate, introspective, kind, and down to earth. i value
authenticity.<br />
<br />
my life is about continuously learning, exploring new things,
becoming more self-aware, and challenging myself.<br />
<br />
i love spending time in nature and also being around animals
(although i have no pets at the moment).<br />
<br />
my friends might tell you that i'm good person to be around in the
wilderness, during an emotional crisis, or during a zombie
apocalypse ;)<br />
<br />
i've been around many different kinds of people, done some
travelling, and grown a lot from the experiences in my life.<br />
<br />
i'm in grad school now studying psychology, which is a big passion
of mine, but i've learned the most from following my passions
outside of school.
i'm creative, intelligent and upbeat. i'm interested in new ways of
thinking in this world - about the environment, politics, and how
we share this planet and live together peacefully.
i am a smart, honest and funny guy. i am pretty simple and don't
need too much flash to excite me. i love the outdoors, but wouldn't
consider myself an enthusiast. i love art, music and movies just as
much as the next guy, but i do appreciate the beauty in the natural
environment equally. i enjoy staying at home and reading a book as
much as getting dressed and going to a club. basically, i like most
activities...and am up to do pretty much anything. i like all types
of food, dance, and shows. i can be anxious, as well as
temperamental. i always attribute it to my passionate nature.<br />
<br />
i am looking for someone who values kindness and humor. someone who
can talk about any topic from the silly to the serious. i
appreciate those who possess a fluid spirituality and a
deep-thinking consciousness; someone who laughs and take things in
stride. close-mindedness concerning anything is an absolute "not
going to happen." i would love to spend the rest of my life with
someone, but logically, i know that it doesn't always happen and i
am definitely okay with that. i would just like a special guy to
share this journey with me...however long that is.
i am a friendly, outgoing, and low-key kind of gal. i love music,
art, and film. i have a fantastic sense of humor, and can find
humor in most situations. i also have a sarcastic side, but it's
all in good fun. i don't like to go clubbing but i'm always up for
grabbing a drink somewhere, listening to some live <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=music">music</a>, or just having a nice
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=conversation">conversation</a>.
i'm really easy going and love trying new things.<br />
<br />
i am confident, positive, and sarcastic
i'm looking for something different in life. something bound by no
parameters. i'd also like to think that you are as well.<br />
<br />
i have depth, a sensible consciousness, with an ever present slice
of sarcasm. i'm a chill cat with a bit of smarts and an ever
present will to continue growing and learning. i still believe in
chivalry from opening doors to knowing what side of the street to
walk on. i think the small things in life make the biggest
difference.<br />
<br />
i'm out-going and in most instances adventure prone. i've been told
i have an old soul trapped within a young sprit. i grew up surfing,
skating, snowboarding,and exploring everything around me. i'm very
close to my ancestry but nothing near fanatical. i like dancing,
painting, random acts of kindness, live shows, gallery openings,
and roaming around the city on my bike. a bit of old world charm
and inner city smarts.<br />
<br />
i'm distinguishably independent and gainfully employed. i'm a well
rounded guy with his shit in order.
i'm a wildcard. i live life like i died the day before. momento
mori. nothing is normal to me.
i am outgoing, normal, fun, and love the marina, the mission, being
outdoors and being around people.
i like:<br />
<br />
american apparel disco pants<br />
<br />
making lists<br />
<br />
vintage stuff<br />
<br />
beach cruisers<br />
<br />
the 90's<br />
<br />
lychee berries<br />
<br />
ordering fancy drinks<br />
<br />
playing battleship with an english accent<br />
<br />
buying sandwiches for homeless people<br />
<br />
making people feel super awkward when they ask "has anyone ever
told you you look just like katy perry?!"<br />
<br />

i moved back to the bay area after a few years in the midwest. for
the last three years, i've been enjoying football saturdays,
experiencing lake-effect snow, and avoiding law classes that
involved math.<br />
<br />
i grew up and went to college in the bay area. after college, i
moved to sf and worked in health care administration for a few
years. then it was off to the midwest to go back to school. i've
returned with a new appreciation for bay area weather, culture, and
the amazing variety of places to visit within a few hours' drive.
i spent most of my 20's figuring what i want to do with my life and
i'm still chasing the dream and being humbled every step of the
way. i believe that hard work and passion will one day land me in
my dream job but meanwhile, i'm taking what i can from the journey.
i'm a go with the flow type of person that is generally laid back
and open to trying and learning something new about anything and
everything. i guess you can call me a nerd at heart. &lt; pushes
glasses up my nose &gt;<br />
<br />
i love traveling and learning about different cultures. getting the
full local experience is important to me in order to truly
understand where you are. a bonus is that it always involves the
best spots to eat! i like to plan but i'm very attracted to the
idea of spontaneity and adventure.<br />
<br />
when in doubt, i like to make lists...haha so here goes:<br />
<br />
- when it comes down to it, i would rather save up for a trip than
expensive shoes/ clothes/ bags.<br />
- i prefer a nice hike or outdoor adventure vs going to the mall. -
jeans and t-shirts are my preference but i will get dressed up
depending on the occasion.<br />
- i'm practical and would rather do what makes sense but i will go
out of my way to help a friend.<br />
- if i'm not learning something new, i get really bored.<br />
- i'm independent but chivalry is not dead. =)
i have one year of law school left and am currently enjoying my
last official summer to the fullest. i spend a ton of time at the
gym - because i work there and because i like to work out. when i'm
not there i'm enjoying great weather tanning in my backyard while
reading books or i'm out with friends.<br />
<br />
i'm usually a fan of people who are relatively motivated, fun
loving, and adventurous.
motivated honest outgoing funny crazy (in a good way) love meat and
candy and last family first.<br />
<br />
well i can build a house from the ground up. i love sports, music,
doing new things, meeting all kinds of people and hearing there
stories and why there are where they are today
i'm originally from nyc (and nj for a stint); moved to the sfba 5
years ago. i'm not going to compose a huge essay about how i love
to travel and exploit my virtues to you. i find it hilarious that
the topic of travel is a mandatory item in a profile. i'm not
saying that i don't like traveling; quite the opposite actually.
everyone's trying to impress everyone else. i'm just here to find
the one man that will mesh well with me and my "sweet, spicy, and
just a little bit intense" personality. actually that slogan is on
a t-shirt i have. you might even see it one of these days if we end
up meeting someday. lol.<br />
<br />
there's so many facets to me that i don't know where to start. it
seems unnatural to me to start enumerating them here. everything
about me will unravel in time: love &amp; loyalty for my family
&amp; friends, <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=cars">cars</a>,
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=travel">travel</a>, food &amp;
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=cooking">cooking</a>, my love
for <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=art">art</a> &amp;
aesthetics, positive attitude toward life's ironic situations, my
sense of humor, my sense of responsibility, how i enjoy pixar &amp;
cult-classic movies (see below), seeking the next adrenaline rush
in an extreme sport (so far done skydiving &amp; hang gliding),
enjoying the outdoors, and how i manage to get into the oddest
situations, etc., etc. all in due time.<br />
<br />
i'll give ya this: i'm not a giggly kind of person. i'm more of the
laugh-out-loud, making raunchy jokes, cussing like a sailor (trying
to curb that currently) when i'm hanging out.<br />
<br />
by the way, if you <strong>really</strong> don't like <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=cats">cats</a>, then this just ain't
gonna work out. i love my cat, franny. she's adorable, mellow,
well-behaved, except when i force her to wear a santa hat.
i like to spend as much of my spare time outdoors as possible -
whether its backpacking, hiking, cycling or, on those fogless days,
hitting the beach. i also have a regular yoga practice (ashtanga
mostly) and like having a couple diy arts and crafts projects going
on at any given time.<br />
<br />
i try and listen and communicate from an authentic place. my
parents are social workers so growing up, there was a lot of
emphasis on the "i feel [blank] when you [blank]" school of
communication (or at least that was the goal).
just your typical geeky, artsy type with a great sense of humor
looking to meet new people and enjoy whatever comes his way
i made this profile in afghanistan because it was crappy out there
and i told myself when i got home i'd find a girl.... been lazy
since, plan hasn't worked out all that well yet. heheh<br />
<br />
the peacekeeping screen name i heard from friends is not a good one
at best, but i thought of it because i was a medic over
there.<br />
<br />
i have a american politics ba from ucsd and am pursuing a medical
graduate program.
i'm an average dude with some tattoos. i like my coffee black. i'm
afraid of spiders. i love hiking and being outdoors. i'm a closet
jock. oxblood is my favorite color. i'm very approachable. i want
to meet new people to hang with once in a while.<br />
<br />
"okay, question #8. what if i told you my fiancee left me for
another man? does that make me more likable, less likable, as
likable? let's start over here this time." - jerry
in no particular order:<br />
<br />
* i'm a <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=geek">geek</a>, and
into all the typical geeky things: sci-fi/fantasy, computer games,
board/card games, esoteric academic topics.<br />
<br />
* i'm an <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=introvert">introvert</a>. i tend to enjoy time by
myself, and can sometimes be rather quiet. i often listen more than
talk, though i can get rather chatty once i'm drawn out.<br />
<br />
* i'm a nationally-ranked competitive powerlifter. i'm not a
"meathead" or a "jock", but it is part of my life. i dedicate
significant time to it, and make certain sacrifices to pursue it. i
spend a fair amount of time nursing various aches and pains.<br />
<br />
* i'm <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=polyamorous">polyamorous</a>, and in a committed,
long-term relationship with my primary partner <a class="plink"
href="/profile/ginatrout">ginatrout</a>. she is also poly, and
fully aware and supportive of my dating.<br />
<br />
* some less obvious interests of mine include juggling, baking,
systems theory, evolutionary patterns, chaotic interactions,
emergent phenomena, gardening and why i suck so horribly at it,
retro computing, mel brooks and monty python, and occasionally
knitting.<br />
<br />
* i enjoy a good orgasm. who doesn't? more specifically, i really,
really enjoy watching the person i'm with enjoy them.
repeatedly.<br />
<br />
* i'm good at math. i suck at arithmetic.<br />
<br />
* i'm omnivorous. i like food. i really like meat. i like veggies
too, but it's rare that i'll have just a salad. yet i'm a sucker
for good ethiopian food, or fried okra, or other yummy vegetables,
so there's that. i will also demolish a sushi restaurant, from the
inside out, one order at a time. i was born and raised in the
south; i have strong opinions on things like bbq.
hi there! first, let me disclose upfront that i do use a
wheelchair, but it's actually a very small part of who i am, and
it's never stopped me from living my life. "limits? what limits?"
is my attitude.<br />
<br />
i asked my friends to describe me, and here's what they said:<br />
peter - "one of the best.."<br />
adrienne: "awesome, friendly, and funny. oh and compassionate,
honest...the list goes on. :-)"<br />
jamie: "a great cousin"<br />
cristi: "friendly"<br />
carol: "lover of subtle humor and wry delights"<br />
bertina: "full of surprises. i totally saw him at panera bread
today."<br />
philip:"one to keep up with obscure references. and awesome."<br />
jeff: "going to become overlord...." (though you might want to
ignore that one...)<br />
<br />
i like baseball (go giants!) and i also squeeze in a video game now
and again...oh, and i'm teaching myself the ukelele. (if you ask
nice, i *might* see my way round to playing for you. heehee!)<br />
<br />
i get around - even made it out to england once. that was
unforgettable. seeing buck palace, trafalgar square and stonehenge
up close is something i'll never forget. that and arriving during a
freak heat wave (though really it was the humidity, being right on
the thames,) i *will* go back someday.<br />
<br />
my profile pic is pretty recent- late april '11.
the more you experience in life, the harder it becomes to summarize
yourself, but i'd say that by now i have a good idea of what works
for me and what doesn't. i have a passion for art, music, food,
travel, and life in general. i'm constantly learning in many
aspects of life, sometimes the easy way, sometimes the hard way...
but either way, the important thing is that i learned, right?
hi, i'm josh. my favorite thing must be climbing stuff. trees are
ideal, but mountains or the odd monument will do in a pinch. other
interests include traveling, hiking, learning, camping, cooking,
relaxing with friends, and walking about towns, hamlets,
prefectures, forests, deserts, beaches, and the like. any excuse to
be outdoors is a good one.<br />
<br />
education is something i both enjoy and admire. i studied at
berkeley and oxford in a field related to environment and african
agricultural development... i won't bore you with details, but if
you're interested, feel free to ask. after grad school i traveled a
bit, then lived in dallas for a year. having found that it wasn't
the town for me, i came back to berkeley, a place i have always
loved and now plan to call home for years to come.<br />
<br />
if i find myself stuck indoors on a rainy weekend, i generally
read, busy myself with a house-related project, or try to prepare a
dish from another hemisphere. curries are a personal favorite, but
then again, those cured italian meats are just so good. then again,
sometimes i'll just go walk around in the rain...<br />
<br />
as far as personality goes, i am comfortable in most any situation,
and get along with pretty much anyone who isn't a jerk. i'm
easygoing, and it takes a lot to get me upset. i have a goofy side,
but the extreme goofiness is reserved for my closest friends. there
is little i appreciate more than a good, well-timed pun. i am
hard-working and ambitious, but don't take work home with me...
life is just too good to waste outside the hours of 9 and 5.<br />
<br />
i am looking for a well-adjusted, intelligent, outdoorsy, fun mate
that is open to commitment (i don't think that's too much to ask,
right?). stagnation is the enemy; i am always growing<br />
and learning, hopefully you are too.
ok, this hasn't been updated in a while and last time that was
because of a drunk girl, yah... not alot has changed and really
there's not alot on here i want to change. my whole weird profile
came from people who care about me and know me. yes everybody
disagreed with each other but we still got done. now don't believe
everything on here...most is true xd<br />
<br />
so, i'm a nerd. i like star wars, red dead redemption and other
video games. hanging out &amp; having a good beer. a girl who likes
the same. i'm not perfect, but i give a good go at it.
i wrote it out thenn forgitz to save it. woopsie
ummmm... i've always thought that pretty much anything that anybody
writes to describe themselves comes off sounding pretentious.<br />
i'm not really into *doing things* in general, but i'm passionate
about drugs and my pet rabbit smokey. when i graduated from middle
school, my *graduation adjective* was "philosophical." i'm a
debater by nature, so don't get into an argument with me unless
you're prepared to get serious. i also hate authority and love
love. i'd aspire to describe myself as the imaginary lovechild of
raoul duke and esther greenwood.
well, im easy going well humored and a bit of a spit fire at times.
try to keep active and have fun with anything i'm doing.
i just wanna make friends.... im cute and kind. people say i have a
nice giggle... mh... im not very good at this... i like to walk
around the city, but rarely have that time to do so. i like beer,
but im a bad drinker one beer and im done . . . . like art.. a
lot.. my hobbie is psychoanalisis .. . like to read (whenever its
possible). . i feel hesitant to say this but.. i dont have my shit
together.. there are many transitions going on right now.. but then
i wonder.. how many people can say they do...? sometimes i feel we
people are improvising our way through this messy and funny thing
called life.... exercise is a necessity. .. not because i wanna a
six pack but because god knows (im an atheist.. ) i like
food....<br />
<br />
besos y abrazos<br />
<br />
im from mexico by the way...
bi-cultural, outgoing, spontaneous, down to earth, open -minded,
optimistic lover of life. i cherish surprises, dancing, music,
books, simplicity, ambition, honesty, and a sense of humor. i like
to laugh, enjoy learning, and trying new things. i grew up in
southern mexico and i also spent a great part of my life in
wisconsin. i moved to the bay area almost 5 years ago and fell in
love with it. i love dancing, going on adventures, and socializing!
architect, soccer player, passionate for any outdoor activity.
enjoy working out , seeing new places- traveling, eating out, and
trying different things. very open minded and always looking to
have fun!

the tv. i like positivity and love a good laugh. friends and family
vip. sounds pretty generic, i know. but i think many of us in sf
get stuck in our ruts and i'm hoping to meet some new people and
expand my horizons. i like people who aren't afraid of real
experiences and hope to challenge themselves with the intention of
growing and learning something new. i work hard and am terribly
honest with everyone, and i appreciate the same qualities in
others. men and women, friend or foe, i'm just not good at playing
head games. relate well to people who pursue their dreams,
unabashedly.<br />
<br />
i am smart, fun-loving, and down to earth.
just moved here to sf from ny. originally from va beach, virginia
and now living for the first time on the wc. i've been doing
investment banking for around 5 years and am enjoying the change of
pace here in sf from manhattan. it's refreshing for sure.<br />
i'm not your stereotypical banker; i'm working on comedy in my
spare time and looking to give standup a chance. i love people and
think everyone has something unique and interesting about them. i'm
quite friendly and just like to have a good time, enjoy life, and
make people laugh. and i'm caring and sweet as shit in case you
couldn't tell.
i am originally from pittsburgh and i recently moved to san
francisco after living in florida for a few years. my family and
friends mean the world to me and spending time with them is one of
my favorite things to do! i am very passionate about my work and
love making a difference in kids' lives. i also love traveling,
whether to another country or another part of california. i am
happiest when i am outdoors, whether being active or relaxing in
the sun.<br />
<br />
i have never done this online dating thing but being new to the
city and ready to meet new people and try new things, i figured i
would give it a shot!
i make iphone games and go to food trucks and play with my
puppy.<br />
<br />
i'm originally form minnesota, so when you tell me you are cold, i
won't understand. my winters were spent taming wolves and
collecting firewood. to eat. with ice. and rocks. i'm all kinds of
scandinavian (literally - i am norwegian, swedish, finnish, and
danish). i've been able to ice skate since i was two and i love
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=skiing">skiing</a>. i'll
happily do either with anyone and i'm a great teacher.<br />
<br />
i did cancer research in costa rica and at a zoo with <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=lemurs">lemurs</a> and macaques. as a
result, i love <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=costa+rica">costa rica</a> and i really like going to
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=zoos">zoos</a>. research goes
well with coffee. <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=costa+rica">costa rica</a> has delicious <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=coffee">coffee</a>. i really enjoy
coffee. i have a coffee board on pinterest (a website with
addictive properties not dissimilar to those of coffee).<br />
<br />
i really like all <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=traveling">traveling</a> both to see friends and to
see new places. in june 2011 i ran my first marathon in northern mn
with one of my best friends from college. i do okay as a runner
mostly due to stubbornness. i'm way better at getting injured
though.<br />
<br />
i'm addicted to bay area concerts and can't wait for outside lands
2012. i'll go to almost any show that people want to check out.
i am as real as they come.....not into bs or the like. describing
me in a box is the antithesis of me. i am into all that life has to
offer, i believe in chivalry, strong whiskey and sassy, sexy &amp;
smart women.
i'm a laid back easy going indian girl who loves san francisco. i'm
more mission then marina, android over iphone, beer over wine, an
"i'll do it myself" kind of person. i'm often described as feisty,
honest and nice. you can usually find me riding my bike while
singing to myself or giggling while walking down the street. you
won't find me wearing yoga pants on a saturday morning, but chances
are high i may be wearing the pants from the night before.
"i seem to be a verb". i have always identified with this quote by
the great buckminster fuller. the full quote is: "i live on earth
at present, and i don't know what i am. i know that i am not a
category. i am not a thing  a noun. i seem to be a verb, an
evolutionary process  an integral function of the universe". in
addition to highlighting the fact that i am a sucker for
existential rumination this quote encapsulates a more general
approach i have come to take towards life: life is change, a
mystery, an ever mutable form whose true nature is fleeting to
those who ask it to stay put, to fit in a category. stop asking so
many questions and just live - if i had to adopt a motto, that
would be it! that being said, i've chosen to make a living asking
questions and i think mottos are a bit one-dimensional.<br />
<br />
i'm living my life as richly as possible. so far i've met many
wonderful people from whom to learn from and share this time, and i
continue to be surrounded by them in this amazing place that is the
bay area. i'm certainly looking forward to meeting many more,
especially those who are "mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be
saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never
yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn" ;)<br />
<br />
i am dynamic, intellectual and passionate. i value the freedom to
think, to live and to continue to explore this world in a healthy
and energetic way. along the way i hope keep making friends, keep
having fun and hopefully find a partner that can keep up with me!
moved to seattle this past may to switch careers for an opportunity
to start something i truly believe in and am passionate. currently
in san francisco working on said opportunity.
witty, educated, well-traveled guy who's tough to get to know but
worth the extra effort. i'll be adding to this as i go, i suppose,
since i'm usually updating a resume rather than a personal profile.
i'm not too cool for school. bit of an indoor kid growing up, but
that's mostly over now. for a couple of years i farmed and
travelled, taught yoga, and lived in a tent and my minivan. just
settled in the east bay for a job that i love, and think i'll stay
put for a while. grew up in the bosom of east coast wit and
neurosis, but i adore the east bay and am positively tickled by its
quirks.
some combination of serious and spunky, practical and casual.<br />
<br />
i grew up outside of boston, but have been in sf for a few years. i
thought it might take a while to embrace ca and the lack of
snowy-slush in february, but all it took was one february of
people-friendly weather. accustomed to the new england edge (slush
will do that to you), it was somewhat of a shock to see strangers
help tourists on muni. turns out it is also somewhat of a shock to
see muni arrive when it says it will, but that is neither here nor
there.<br />
<br />
i use twitter as a streamlined source for news articles, and check
cuteoverload.com often.<br />
<br />
for anyone that pays attention to personality tests, myers briggs
says i'm an estj. i'm pretty sure i knew that before the test, but
it's nice to have some standard system for all to relate.
i am artistic, creative, nerdy, friendly, adventuresome, outdoorsy,
easy-going, and mellow. i'll stop to say hello to the inchworm
crossing the trail. i have a very serious silly streak, and i am
also a thorough romantic. my favorite drink is coffee.<br />
<br />
by day i work in web development/ux. by night i am a superhero
artist, fighting crime and making drawings. i have been to
burningman many times, and i appreciate the bay area arts
community. i love san francisco! also i very much love nature,
camping, and being outdoors. star-gazing makes me happy.<br />
<br />
i like the way exercise makes me feel, so i jog and lift weights
regularly. i'm a little scared of what "athletic build" implies.
however, i am willing to flex my biceps for you.<br />
<br />
i'm a huge fan of the movies, so let's rent that obscure norwegian
police procedural, give it the ms3tk treatment, and eat popcorn for
dinner. you can have whatever you normally drink, i'll have a
latte.<br />
<br />
i am quirky, sweet, and intelligent.
i like to meet new people and socialize. my idea of fun is being
with the person who i'm interested in. i currently attend college.
i admit i can be a bit shy when first meeting a person, but who
isn't?
i'm somewhat new to the area and a friend recommended i join to
meet some new people :)<br />
<br />
i'm a pretty laid back girl who is down for anything. i'm like to
explore and try things at least twice to determine if i like it or
not.<br />
<br />
live in oakland, work in the city but never limited to these to
places..i'm always down for anything around the bay area
in an ideal world, we would meet ...<br />
<br />
- at a one of those cafe/wine bars in my neighborhood. it would be
a surprising warm day in sf, so i would get to wear one of the cute
dresses i can't resist buying but have no place to wear to. i would
be hanging out with my dog and my kindle. we might make eye contact
and you're just dorky enough to ask me how i like using the kindle
touch.<br />
<br />
- at the airport on our way to somewhere fabulous like australia or
africa. we would end up seated next to each other instead of the
screaming babies and talk about all the great places we've traveled
to and things we want to do when we get off the plane.<br />
<br />
- in the park on my run or right after my pilates class, you would
think i looked cute even though i'm all sweaty.<br />
<br />
i could go on, but let's see what stories we can tell about meeting
online. i'm just looking for someone awesome to have fun and to
learn with in life.
i am a software engineer living in san francisco and working in
sunnyvale. i am originally from la (don't hold that against me!),
but have lived in sf since 2005. i got my master's degree at usf in
2010. i enjoy snapping photos during vacation and discovering new
places.<br />
<br />
i have a ridiculously good singing voice when no one is listening.
(but really, you don't want to hear me sing, it is <em>almost</em>
as bad as listening to vogon poetry).<br />
<br />
i will try most everything at least once. i feel that the only way
to grow you personality is pushing your boundaries, even if the
result is unfavorable.<br />
<br />
wandering is one of my newly found favorite activities. not walking
to get anywhere, but picking a place i have never been and
wandering. getting lost and finding new places and people is an
outrageously fun activity. this is especially exciting in foreign
countries!
well, i'm from peru, i love soccer, im more coaching it now than
playing it, and i enjoy cooking alot, thats actually what my degree
is about. im pretty straight foward, i dont like bsing people, i
like to be honest about things...<br />
i love to danceee! pretty much everything, salsa, merengue,
bachata.. anything, i just love to move my body hahh!!. im pretty
random sometimes, love to have fun,im always down for parties,
clubs, etc, etc... im pretty outgoing, did i say that i like
running? ... im a sporty guy, i go for runs... some times i just
play soccer for 6 hours haha pretty crazy i know... but its just
fun!... you got any questions feel free to ask =].
my friend and i have this game of sending each other outragous free
craigslist postings. here's the funniest thing you will ever
read:<br />
<br />
cursed table tops- take on the curse so i can sleep at night!
(berkeley)<br />
<br />
feel my pain:<br />
i work in an office in berkeley and we recently moved our business
to a smaller office in the same building. we gave away a lot of our
stuff including two very nice desks with removable wooden tops. a
nice man came to pick them up and i watched him load the desks
(tops and all) onto a truck and drive away.<br />
now imagine my surprise when i received a call from the office
upstairs telling me that the tops of those same desks i watched be
loaded into a truck has mysteriously appeared outside their office
door. ...what??!! how??!! i have no idea. i can imagine only two
scenarios. either the guy who picked them up drove back to the
office when we weren't here, broke into the building, and carried
two heavy wooden table tops back up two flights of stairs for no
apparent reason. or they homed like migratory birds back to the
office they had lived in for so long. i hate them. make them go
away. burn them. put them on the railroad tracks. eat them, i don't
care. just make them go away. i don't know what will be required
for the death of these wood/particle board menaces but they're
starting to give me nightmares.
i'm an energetic and adventurous guy who prides himself on his
pessimistic attitude. its hard to get me down and i love to have a
good laugh. i love going out to have a good time, but also enjoy
staying in to relax, cooking, and watching some tv.
hello! i live &amp; work in sf. my friends would describe me as
being funny, smart, fashionable and clever. i love travelling and
exploring new places.<br />
<br />
i have my favorite hangouts and i'm trying consciously go to
different places--as there are so many spots right at my fingertips
that i haven't been too. i have a lot of interests--- film,
fashion, enjoying the outdoors, travelling, reading and the list
goes on &amp; on.<br />
<br />
since i work in marketing, i like to keep my copy short. this is
all i have to say for now. :)
fresh out of the bay
i'd say i'm pretty down to earth and laid back. i have a good sense
of humor, love to laugh and am generally pretty positive. i work
hard and get alot out of my career, but like to take just as much
time to have fun and enjoy life. i love getting outdoors and
running, hiking, kayaking - always looking for new adventures.
i like sports more than anything else in the world. i look feminine
but am not a dumb broad that can't handle her own. i'm quick
witted, intelligent, beautiful, well traveled, a phenomenal
cook,selfless, kind, fun and funny (there is a difference). i'm a
threat ;) i love my life and each day that i live it gets better.
the only thing i look for in a man is that he has good hand eye
coordination, he's not a complete loser or tool, he's intelligent,
funny and hygienically sound.<br />
i would like to find someone who is secure with themselves that has
achieved something in their life yet looking to set goals each day.
i am motivated and the energy and fun loving spirit i have always
ignites those around me.<br />
<br />
if you can't talk sports, you might as well not even bother talking
to me. my life revolves around the game when i am not working. i am
actively engaged whether it be physically, mentally,
conversationally or visually with sports everyday. i'm really
sarcastic and love to joke and have inappropriate fun, but i am
serious about my career and education. i do not handle immaturity,
rudeness or crass behavior. "you only get one life, live it how you
want to live it." i'm just livin' the dream.
im a good person with a big heart
i was born in new york, raised in dallas, and have lived in san
francisco for 15 years. i love to <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=travel">travel</a>, so i never know where i'll be
next. i look and act (at times) younger than i am, but have plenty

life. my favorite band is <a class="ilink" href=

i am ugly, stupid, and sarcastic

scenerie but single. they say i tell it like it is no time for lil

hello everyone. my name is aydren. a little about me. i am
currently a student at heald college majoring in accounting. on my
spare time i like to hang out with friends, go to clubs, lounges,
poetry sessions, and right now i am looking into doing yoga and
meditation.
not the biggest fan of writing about myself so bare with me.<br />
music is a big part of my life, open to most genres.<br />
basketball since a young age and i run on a weekly basis.<br />
i've always enjoyed cooking and learning new recipes. food is life!
just kidding kind of.<br />
grew up traveling with family and that's what i want to do when i
retire.<br />
i always try to keep the "treat people the way you would want to be
treated" quote in mind.<br />
i believe in good morals and strong values<br />
i play the ukulele and piano from time to time.
i grew up in the bay (5th generation marin!) but just moved to sf
last winter after about 6 years in nyc. the transition "back home"
was/is harder than i thought but i'm really happy to be getting to
know this place in a whole new way.<br />
<br />
despite having lived in and loved some major cities (madrid and
lima, too), i'm beginning to suspect i might be more of a country
girl after all. i derive a huge amount of satisfaction from manual
labor and homesteading type stuff. i'm a little old-fashioned in
certain senses, but am very liberal in my approach to other people
and find most of them (truly) fascinating and fun. i value
self-sufficiency and whatever the opposite of squeamishness is in
both the physical and mental realms. i'm an experience seeker and
i've collected many, but am hoping to add a larger dose of
stability to the mix now. whatever that means.<br />
<br />
jesus, this is boring. okay, how about: lately, i've been thinking
about summer fruits, hot rods, japanese embroidery, butchery, bread
science, homemade hooch, my dog's haircut, hanging plants, knives,
old age, canning, money, new york, livestock, running, boating,
swimming, camping, road trips, pastry, etc. that might all change
tomorrow, but probably not.

the goth phase is pretty much an old passion for everything
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=gothic">gothic</a> back in the

<br />
i am adventurous, passionate, and honest
so... here goes. i'm a pretty active, ambitious person who has
finally come back to the bay area after living on the east coast
for several years. i couldn't be happier being back in california
and am looking for someone who enjoys the same things i do-
traveling, hiking, exploring the area, movies, etc. i'm pretty
career driven and work in politics. but all work and no play is no
fun and i'm looking now to spend more time than i have in the past
getting out there and enjoying what san francisco has to offer. i
think what makes me unique is that i'm not afraid of anything and
am always up for a challenge. i moved to new york and washington dc
because i've always loved those cities and am not afraid of putting
myself in a difficult situation. i'm super social and enjoy
grabbing drinks with friends, checking out a local art show, wine
tasting, and anything else that comes up along the way. i'm very
close to my family and enjoy seeing them pretty often, as they are
all in the region. i consider myself to be a genuine person who is
true to my word. i'm looking for someone who is intelligent, caring
and motivated. and please come with a sense of humor, life is way
too crazy not to laugh.
i'm a frenchie who's moved here at the beginning of the year after
spending six years montreal. i really love this city (it might have
to do with the positively delightful absence of snow), and i'm
looking to make friends (and possibly more) to enjoy it with.<br />
<br />
otherwise, i'm zen, easy going (though no complete pushover) and
curious about everything... my philosophy is that in most cases, i
prefer regretting having tried something than regretting not having
tried it. up to now, it's served me well...
i am quirky and fun loving. i have a passion for the zeal of life.
i am intimidated by the daunting task of making myself look cool
online. but i am really great at doing it in physical reality. i am
charismatic and charming, funny, ironic, gorgeous (and oh so humble
;) ). all the good things. trust me and find out.
how does one answer this question without it resembling a college
application essay?<br />
<br />
so broad. so vague. so full of silent judging.<br />
<br />
i'm going to mull this over a bit, but i'll leave you with this odd
tidbit: i've never joined facebook and it feels good.
i spend most of my time on the water. i'm friends with the
birds<br />
and a seal that i call henri. i'm hoping for the possibility
of<br />
falling in love with someone who doesn't have feathers or fur...
i'm pretty straight forward. i like having fun and enjoying life.
funny things are good too. i love music and am pretty open about
what i listen to. i like being active, snowboarding, skating,
biking, driving fast in my classic 73 karmann ghia, exercising,
rock climbing and adventuring. on the other hand i like relaxing,
drawing, photography, playing retro videogames, making music,
mostly guitar and drums, creating things, and living in the moment.
i try to appreciate life daily.
rather than type a bunch of stuff about myself, i'd rather share
that in person. i'm not expecting anything from this site. i'm
looking for a friend of the opposite sex to hang out with. someone
to like go to the movies, hike, and eat lunch or dinner with.
simple. no unrealistic expectations.
i moved to san francisco at some point in the past. i live there
now.<br />
<br />
i love all animals. especially puppies. but i also love cats. but
especially puppies.<br />
<br />
i'm always happy, except for when i get sad about all of the pain
in the world. but then i get happy again when i eat something
really tasty or watch a bachelorette marathon or just ignore all of
that world pain stuff.<br />
<br />
i exercise a minimum of 5 times/day.<br />
<br />
i'm good at pretty much everything, but it's no big deal really
(i'm probably the humblest person ever. well maybe jesus is first,
but then definitely me).<br />
<br />
here are the odds of my victory were i to get into a fight with the
following adversaries: winston churchill (35%); batman (90%*);
three uncollaborative yetis (55%); sean connery in his prime (3% -
non-coincidentally the same odds that, at any given moment, god
smites him out of jealousy); sean connery today (4.5%); michael
buble (105%); voldemort (75%); myself (51%).<br />
<br />
the love i have to give is so big that i need at least one really
attractive person to share it with or i fear that my heart will
burst.<br />
<br />
*michael keaton version
june 2012 update: i'm in the midst of moving from the peninsula up
to marin. should be settled in by the end of july. in the meantime
i'm knee deep in boxes and bubble wrap.<br />
<br />
and now, back to my profile...<br />
<br />
i'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of woman. my style is funky but
chic.<br />
<br />
i am an artist... jewelry design, metal smithing, ceramics, mosaic,
painting and drawing. i am also a jewelry instructor.<br />
<br />
balance in my life is a top priority. i make time for myself,
family, friends, and my dogs. i love to laugh and to make people
laugh. i love an interesting, intelligent, deep conversation. i eat
healthy, meditate and exercise daily.<br />
<br />
i love to travel and have been to europe, eastern europe, israel,
canada, and much of the us. my healing spot is kauai and swimming
with the turtles soothes my soul. i long to go to kenya (to meet
the aids orphans and destitute women i help with the sale of my
jewelry), the galapagos, and bali.<br />
<br />
at my house there is almost always music playing. i play several
instruments, none of them extremely well, but well enough to have a
good time. i play djembe and dun duns with my drummer gurlz weekly.
we just recently started performing and it's a blast!<br />
<br />
i love to read, watch movies, and take my dogs to the beach. the
ocean recharges my battery. you can often find me driving on the
coast with the top down on my vw convertible.... big smile on my
face, dogs in the back... tails wagging.
hey =)<br />
i'm tahnee, 21 years old and i come originally from germany...just
moved to the city and work here as a nanny =)<br />
<br />
i'm an outgoing and funny person, you can have a lot of fun with
me!<br />
i'm pretty easygoing, not bitchy at all...most people (guys) say
i'm a guy in a woman's body =d no worries, i'm still pretty
feminine! that just means i can get my hands dirty , without
freaking out like many other girls or i'm not jumping on the table
when i see a mouse or spider, i can hang up a picture, without
destroying the whole wall or amputating my hand =p i don't need a
cocktail, i can also drink a beer. i would prefer to go to the
cheap mexican place for example, istead of a 5 star restaurant
where you don't even get sated =p<br />
hope that's enough explanation!! =)<br />
<br />
i love the adventure: i ride the motorcycle, skydiving, rock
climbing, and so on!<br />
i love to do sports: i was a cheerleader for many years, did
kickboxing =) here i often go running....

"beauty gets you attention. personality gets you the heart. truth
gets you love and lies get you dropped";)
hi, i'm funny independent brainy bloke originally from the
sarcastic midwest (lived in <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=bavaria">bavaria</a> in my teens). about 9 years ago,
i moved to california, am doing well during this great recession,
meeting creative people, and loving the landscapes.
down-to-earth, humble, honest, curious about nature, and respectful
of different cultures, this 32-year-old scientist is looking for
friends and a girlfriend to enjoy hiking, biking, running, cooking
and traveling with.
i like high- and low-brow culture. i find humor in the most random
things, appreciate good taste, fun company and i know a lot of
useless pop culture facts that provide a constant source of
conversation. i claim to be a workaholic, but i am really just
saying that to cover the fact that i am lazy. i work out, but i am
terrible at sports. i'll obsess about using the perfect words to
describe something. i think self-deprecation is the best kind of
humor. and i am currently debating whether or not i should eat a
donut sitting on my kitchen counter -- life is often full of tough
choices like that.
i can't believe ok cupid wants an essay. and i'm not going to type
one out on my iphone. basically i'm funny, like to go out, like to
nerd out (sci-fi fan) and like to read.
i'm a down to earth woman, easy going, and fun to be around. i like
to laugh and am frequently told i should have been a comedian. i
went back to finish school a few years back and finally got my ba
at the ripe old age of 40! if you are looking for a
high-maintenance princess type - i'm definately not your gal. i am
a bit of a tomboy i admit but i dress up nice. generally speaking i
prefer camping to hotels, football over ballet etc. - i'm much more
likely to be interested in playing a video game than watching a
lifetime movie! i have a girl next door look with shoulder length
auburn-red hair and brown eyes and a voluptuous build - i'm quite
busty! i enjoy gardening, watching sports, tv, evenings in my
backyard with my two dogs, horses, laughing, 420, and nature. i
like sex to be fun, passionate, spontaneous and frequent. i'm
looking for a funny and somewhat quirky person, someone who
appreciates honesty, nature and animals and who can laugh with me
(and at me). please be single and over 35. also, if you have issues
with gay people we are not a match. thanks for stopping by!<br />
:)<br />
<br />
i am funny, highly intelligent, and obviously humble
hi i'm tyler i just moved here from massachusetts. i work for a
yacht company out here so i'm pretty new to this area.
im an easy going girl with a little bit of sass. i enjoy being
heard and sharing my opinions with others. having a good time in
all situations is a must! i love getting to know what makes people
tick and sharing their interests with them. knowledge is power; i
love learning new things and useless information that i can use
when i play trivia.<br />
<br />
i am a fashion nut. constantly looking for new ways to style and
dress.<br />
<br />
music is also one of my passions. always searching for something
new and once i get hooked on a song or any artist i can't
stop.<br />
<br />
p.s--these self summary things are a bit self-indulgent. ask for
more and i'll share :)
chicago native new to san francisco. i work really hard because i
have some ambitious goals to achieve in the next 5-10 years.
had a career for the last couple years, realized i wanted more, and
have changed everything to accomplish it.<br />
<br />
i have a fascination with feral children.<br />
<br />
i cook. quite a bit. cookbooks are my third stop at any thrift
store after the coats, and dresses. i have been carrying around my
betty crocker cookbook that i bought at a rummage sale in virginia
for 11 years.<br />
<br />
i really don't not like anything. you could be like "hey you want
to ______?", and i'd say yes. i enjoy pretty much everything.
except water parks, i fucking hate water parks.<br />
<br />
i can be a loose cannon, i am always dripping in sass and i walk
with a confident swag in my step.
i love music, dancing, tennis, i''m down for extreme sports and,
what boring people would call; crazy activities. im out going and
love coffee with great conversations. [is this the segment where i
write that i'm a nerd and i hope that someone still think that
bohemian-nerds have potential]<br />
<br />
traveling and horseback riding are 2 things that go well together
spending a bit of of time here hoping to expand my friend circle
and get more settled into the east bay....maybe even find someone
extra sweet and special.....<br />
<br />
starting to make creative time a habit, immersing into my yoga,
trying new walks and cafes and restaurants and just enjoying the
newness and curiousity:)

bay!!. im a very athletic individual, i love playing sports and
being active. i couldn't imagine my life without that, and im
currently playing football for my school. im a very sociable person
i love to hangout and enjoy the company of others. i also like to
entertain and make people laugh, if you feel like havin fun, just
be sure to stay close haha. im a very driven person i have a lot of
things i want to accomplish in this life and no time to waste. i
love it when a girl is spontaneous, you got to at least try things

studying to be a fire fighter paramedic, i truly want to help
people and there's no way im spending 20 years in a cubicle...all
that's of course if the nfl don't pan out 4 ur boi:)but all in all
im just a laid back individual who loves to be the life of the
party and lovin being young while i am.
honestly, just a laid-back yet driven guy. i like to work-out, but
my real passion is playing guitar. i listen to a lot of music from
classic rock like the doors to indie stuff like bright eyes, but i
like jam bands, too (phish, some grateful dead, etc). people
consider me outgoing, friendly and super easy to get along with. i
have a genuine interest in people...it's kind of fun to sit and
watch the world go by sometimes, looking at people and couples and
all these different walks of life. i can be pretty philosophical at
times.
i am a schleprock - by all means ask.<br />
<br />
i ride <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=motorcycles">motorcycles</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=surfing">surfing</a> (though wiping out is more
appropos for what i do) and love <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=jumping+out+of+planes">jumping out of
planes</a>.<br />
<br />
i love finding new places to eat, recipes to attempt, sports to get
into, art openings to experience, or books to read.<br />
<br />
love a <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=good+scotch">good
scotch</a> but can't pass up <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=bonfires">bonfires</a> and beer.<br />
<br />
i am a fan of country music, pickup trucks and motorcycles.
yes, my glasses are real. i did not steal them from a movie
theater. they help me see better.<br />
<br />
i love to laugh and have a good time with genuine, sincere people.
i'm also a giant nerd and will astound you with the bevy of random
information i have collected over the years (actually mostly during
junior high school). i am not really that outdoorsy, call me the
quintessential city kid. concrete is all the yard i need and
downtown is my natural habitat. never been camping, unless by
camping you mean staying at a hotel with shared bathrooms. but i'd
be willing to try most anything else once, and i'd really like to
learn parkour-which i view as the ultimate challenge seeing as how
i am neither fit, nor agile. i love drawing, tattoos, all things
pop culture, skateboards, movies, music, video games, people who
have no problem being inappropriate, sneakers, hats, renaissance
art, you know, the usual.<br />
<br />
my socks rarely match.<br />
<br />
i aspire to be a tattoo artist.<br />
<br />
i'm not really good at planning dates.<br />
<br />
i would also like to be on ninja warrior.<br />
<br />
i'm an isfp for everybody that knows what that is. "the artist"
according to myers-briggs.<br />
<br />
i'm socially retarded.<br />
<br />
i enjoy a good bowtie - not the clip-on kind.<br />
<br />
i'm very laid-back and i just kind of take things as they come,
though now that i've crossed thirty's threshold, i'm trying to be
more proactive. this is a new experience for me, so i'm just seeing
it through. can't hurt, right?<br />
<br />
oh, and i play scrabble. and i'm real fuckin' good at it too.
seriously, i know big words. so let's play.
better a character than an extra.
i'm an enfp, a social big-picture emotional creative soul.<br />
<br />
i see most things in shades of grey. i can be often indecisive
because i really want to give merit to both sides. (politically,
though, i know where i stand. leftleftleft)<br />
<br />
so, i see the world as fluid and shifting constantly... and i
occasionally long for absolutes. i've determined my own truths but
challenge them often, and i'd actually love to hear yours.<br />
<br />
most of the time, i really love people. i'm very passionate and
definitely appreciate passion in others as well. i'm fond of the
earth and try to be good to it. i don't have a lot of enemies, just
missed connections, and my friends tell me i'm really lovable. try
out and see what you get.
i'm a thoughtful and affectionate person with a big heart and
curious mind packaged in a slender body. i thrive on connection
with friends, my family and a partner. my 8 year-old son lives with
me half the time. i'm a creative professional with a business i've
owned for many years. i've lived overseas and traveled a fair
amount and i now appreciate the roots i have in the bay area.<br />
<br />
i'm playfully cerebral and interested in the layers beneath the
layers but i'm also content to enjoy simple pleasures and what's
happening in the moment.<br />
<br />
i'd like to find a co-adventurer with a good intellectual appetite
and curiosity. it helps if you've faced your own demons (the
majority of them anyway) and are engaged in something that feels
gratifying. you like sharing planned or spontaneous adventures and
enjoy a resourceful and curious playmate.
i recently moved to the bay area from seattle (lived in portland
for a while too). i'm pretty happy to have moved here, as seattle
was boring me to tears. i can imagine moving to nyc, but the cost
of living and competition for good housing just scares me, frankly.
in a lot of ways the east coast culture feels more my speed, but in
some ways not. i do love the
in-your-face-tell-me-exactly-how-you-feel nature of folks
there.<br />
<br />
i have an insatiable appetite for novelty and learning. it's very
my nature to seek and explore new things just so that i have
something new to learn.<br />
<br />
i don't own a tv by choice, too much violence and garbage. i prefer
to selectively stream what is interesting to me via the internet. i
stay fairly active via recreational dance and i am an absolute
walkaholic! i love to walk long distances in quiet neighborhoods
around and ponder...stuff. i wish there were just more time in the
day to get from place to place via walking alone.<br />
<br />
when it comes to attraction, the eyes really have it. other
physical features matter as well, obviously, but the eyes give a
lot of information away. they are indeed the window to the soul. i
like to laugh, so a shared sense of humor is very important to me
as well. i really can't imagine a relationship thriving without
that a good shared sense of humor.
self summary. big words.<br />
<br />
here's what i love about san francisco, maybe this will help.<br />
<br />
-most people i interact with are progressively-minded. yes, i
realize we live in a bubble but i like my bubble.<br />
-from my house, i am within 15 minutes of the great outdoors in
three different directions. can we talk about how awesome that
is?<br />
-the food scene is alive but the after hours scene is not which
means many people go to bed early (and then get up early), like
me.<br />
-we are close to (but not in) silicon valley: a technology-driven,
entrepreneurial environment that has a "anything is
possible"attitude. close to but not in means i don't need to live
in the suburbs. that's important to me.
focus and ambitious.
you have to bench at least 300 pounds to be my lady.
i was looking at my profile and thought i'd update it a bit because
as it was, it seemed a tad broad. i'm physically 21 but 20 by law
(a mistake was made in my birth certificate and remained that way.)
many people will come to my page and see my skin type and
immediately judge me as the stereotypical african american before
actually getting to know me, and let me say that sickens me to my
core and you people need to do more "growing up" before anything
else. i'm a real tech head and have a side job fixing laptops and
teaching computer basics and shortcuts. i'm also a free lance
photographer. photography is one of my passions, along with
drawing, and studying up on new electronics and the components that
make them tic. though my mind is a great quality i have, i also
come with a great sence of humor and the strange ability to make
almost anyone smile(if not laugh). i'm sometimes very sarcastic but
ne'er to the point where feelings are hurt.i eventually want to
travel all over the world and get good pictures while i do :). i'm
essentially looking for a girl with smarts to her. i want a nice
challenge every now and then. :)
i'm an enigma wrapped in a flour tortilla. i do apologize for how
empty this profile is, filling these essays out on your phone, one
letter at a time, takes forever
the other day, i went to the bank for my work, and the girls behind
the counter asked how i was. "pretty good, thanks," i said, and one
said, "man, i don't know how you do it." "do what," i asked, with
no idea what she was talking about. "you're always in such a good
mood." "what? no i'm not. i'm a cranky son of a bitch." "i know,
but always in a really cheerful way, you know?"<br />
<br />
true story.<br />
<br />
i'm super into cussing. i think i'm pretty damn lucky, and i think
people rarely don't mean well. oh, and i'm dyslexic and can't spell
and still write a ton, because, maybe there's something wrong with
me?
im a 23 yr old female born and raised in colorado springs i work
full time i dont smoke i drink socially im athletic i love the
outdoors biking hiking running anything with fresh air im very
outgoing, spontaneous, chill laid back goofy sweet caring i dont
care what others think i live life for myself and so far ive lived
one hell of a life so many memories so many places ive traveled and
so many people ive met for the good and the bad i cant wait to
continue living with so much passion.
well this is a new thing for me....i am an east coast transplant
and have been out here for 4 years and love it. i am an adventurous
one and love to always be doing something new and exciting; but
also like to keep it simple. i love the outdoors from tennis, golf,
hiking, biking, camping, etc. i am a woman who is looking for that
guy to explore the unknown and share in many of lives adventurous!
. i am not one for the clubs or bars to meet that one special
guy....
these are the things that fill my thoughts and free time these
days:<br />
agriculture, what is gastronomy (see slow food), crafting (such as:
knitting, sewing, cross stitching, paper mache-ing, costume
making), bicycling about town, reading books about eating well and
farming and zen, researching ag study/training programs, baking
kale chips (among other delicious semi-experimental cookery),
planning my future.<br />
<br />
i also spend some time practicing my ukulele, and am trying to
spend more time hiking and camping.<br />
<br />
i like to try new things. living in san francisco has been a little
overwhelming for the sheer volume of opportunities. i don't need
such a variety, but it has been inspirational. there are a lot of
things i love about this city though, such as the quantity of
bicyclists, all the green spaces, the beach, delicious food, good
beer, and biking home through the park when the fog is rolling
in.<br />
<br />
here's what sounds good to me for someday in the future: building a
simple little home to live in, growing alot of my foods-including
raising some animals- working within my community to help all have
access to quality and local foods and educating people about why
that is important, exploring the outdoors on camping/backpacking
trips on occasion, having a good dog or two, and creating beautiful
things-crafts, clothes, food, landscapes, etc.<br />
<br />
i am curious, adventurous, and a dreamer.
im an easy going guy that likes to laugh and smile. i'm quiet
and<br />
sometimes shy, until you get to know me. i treat others the way
i<br />
would want to be treated. i do like a bit of regularity in my
life<br />
but often do spur of the moment things. i can be stubborn.
the<br />
simple things make me happy which makes the amazing things that
much sweeter. i'm afraid of complex carbohydrates and hospitals. i
love sandwiches (3 parts meat, cheese and amenities for 1 part
bread), and am a firm believer that everything is a sandwich. yes
even soup can be a sandwich - soup in a bread bowl! i like to
be<br />
intellectually and physically challenged. hockey games are the
best<br />
live sporting event. i love football. i keep score (a book)
at<br />
every live baseball game i attend. its a tradition i got from
my<br />
dad. i'll talk random sports stats to anyone whether they are<br />
listening or not, my beer and i have had some lengthy debates
over<br />
gaa and sv% for this reason. i'm goofy, i daydream, i can be<br />
sarcastic, i like history, reading and learning, i have
horrible<br />
grammar, i like geometry and architecture. friends are the
family<br />
we get to choose. my best friends have called me reserved, the
gift<br />
that keeps on giving, and frequently call me 'special'.<br />
<br />
if you got this far... i sort of dislike the online dating thing...
id much rather meet in person to talk and see who you are. looking
at profiles on here feels like interviewing someone to be my gf.
just saying... rather meet in person and find out we're not what we
thought rather than straight up dismissal. i dont know you and you
dont know me. just saying.
infp. super i. super n.<br />
<br />
i really like people. but, most of the time, i like not being
around them more.<br />
<br />
i like my apples jazz.<br />
<br />
i like my bananas earthy.<br />
<br />
i like my berries tart.<br />
<br />
i'm an analog boy living in a digital world.<br />
<br />
i'm not very smart, but i am insightful.<br />
<br />
i enjoy self effacing traits.
i'm:<br />
- geeky<br />
- smart<br />
- weird<br />
- chubby<br />
- near sighted<br />
- horrible at describing myself<br />
- nice<br />
- funny<br />
- big hearted<br />
- a great hugger<br />
- a great kisser<br />
- a little shy at first<br />
- at the moment, very bored<br />
<br />
i've recently started taking my health more seriously than i have
been, so i'm currently trying to lose all of this weight that i've
gained over the last few years.<br />
<br />
i've started exploring the regional park here in crockett recently,
and although it's freezing out, the beauty of this place really
makes it worth the hike.<br />
<br />
i absolutely love to go camping, and i try to go at least once or
twice a year. my favorite places to go camping are all in northern
california: burney, lassen, and crescent city. i've never seen
anything as beautiful as fog flowing between the redwoods in
redwood state park.<br />
<br />
i'm what some people would call geeky. i'm an information sponge. i
would much rather watch a documentary than a work of fiction.<br />
<br />
i'm also a bit of a gamer, although not as much as i used to be. i
love board and card games, especially ones from independent
publishers.
i've never been the type of person to put myself out there when it
comes to love. i take risks in every other aspect of my life, but
the dating aspect. i'm outgoing when it comes to life, but reserved
when it comes to expressing my feelings. i guess you could say i'm
a contradiction of myself! i love to have fun, travel, spend time
with my friends, and i'm a very hard worker.
well shit... i just moved to oakland from sf! anyone wanna show me
around? i'm a us and italian citizen, lived in spain and studied in
peru, among other places. i use big words, i make a mean pot roast,
and art is why i get up in the morning. when i'm not musicking, i'm
cooking, and when i'm not doing that, i'm having a good time. i
carry with me at all times a book and an appetite, especially when
i travel, which usually resembles extended anthony bourdain-ian
style debauchery. that being said, i champion a moderate lifestyle,
but i tend to swing pretty hard to the extremes. despite my
excesses, i like to keep in shape, both mentally, physically and
spiritually. i'm ambitious but laid-back, and i almost always get
what i want.
i have a kid. he's 9 years old and 90 lbs of awesome. he lives with
his mom., and i usually get him every other weekend. it's flexible.
for those still reading, his mom is cool, i'm cool, and the kid is
insanely cool. ok. now that we've got that established... i am a
tennis loving beach bum. that pretty much sums me up.
i think that the only way to really get to know someone is to meet
in person and spend time with them. a few preliminary details: i
love animals. i have really good relationships with my friends. i
love a well-mixed cocktail or a quality beer or wine. i love food
and i am a fair cook. i am a biochemist. i love college football
and art museums.
i just moved to san francisco from portland, maine, about 6 months
ago. i also don't currently have a beard.<br />
<br />
my thought process always makes sense, and i never make mistakes.
if i'm uncertain about something, i throw crayons on the ground and
study the patterns they've fallen in as a way to divine
answers.<br />
<br />
i'm really high maintenance.<br />
<br />
i hate local foods, and especially hate going to the farmers market
and developing personal relationships with the farmers that grow
the food i eat. all our food should be manufactured like
automobiles by giant corporations who care about us, that's the
only sustainable future.<br />
<br />
even though i used to be a chef, i can't cook anything that doesn't
come from a box. the same is true for snowboarding, even though i
used to be an instructor, i suck at it. i would never want to cook
for anyone or teach them to snowboard.<br />
<br />
i'm also never sarcastic.<br />
<br />
i'm attracted to women who are smart and funny, have unique style,
enjoy intellectual conversations dusted with humor, and have
interests that they know are cool. bonus points if you aren't
hyper-competitive, or can make me laugh a lot.<br />
<br />
other interest's of mine include the arts (rockwell kent is my
favorite artist), painting, thoughtful conversation, rock and ice
climbing, mountaineering and alpinism, snowboarding / splitboarding
/ skiing / x-country skiing, skateboarding, sailing, gardening,
antiquity, modernity, anything with a command line interface, and
about six thousand other things that i find to be awesome.
sometimes.. just around midnight.. turn into a werewolf. i'm not
sure why it happens. it just.. happens.<br />
<br />
i once approached a crab-apple tree and placed my palm on the trunk
of the tree. at the very instant that i touched the tree, all of
the crab-apples fell to the ground.<br />
<br />
that about summarizes it.. let me know if you have any questions
about that.
realized ambitions  successful business  career i love  want to
share fun times, travel, wine tasting, great food, skiing, and
cuddling.<br />
<br />
i was born at st. luke's hospital on army street in san francisco,
california. i grew up skiing winters at my family's vacation home
in tahoe and skiing remains a big part of my life today. as does
staying fit. you can find me in the presidio or the lyon street
stairs in the afternoons exercising.<br />
<br />
i obtained my ba in communication design. i've always had a strong
aesthetic orientation and love of form and function and find the
psychology of sales and design on people's behavior
fascinating.<br />
<br />
funny story: i had a copywriter help me with this essay because the
thought of someone actually trying to figure out who i really am
through a couple of paragraphs seemed not possible. i am so much
more than these words: great vibrancy, focused, sexy, passionate
and astute.<br />
<br />
fewh, now that is over let's move on.
a good man -- but not too good.<br />
<br />
i've lived in sc, co, fl, la (louisiana), tx, tn, me, mo, ga, il,
and ca. norcal is my favorite, but the mountains of colorado and
the bayous of louisiana have their draw.<br />
<br />
i've done lots of cool work -- from landscape construction to
running political campaigns, to working at a think tank.<br />
<br />
i score very highly on math and verbal, extraversion and
perception, empathy and task focus. i'm above average at historical
trivia, and quite good at sports.<br />
<br />
also, you should know this: i think i'm effing hilarious. (my
friends agree... sometimes, but they're not privy to the gems i
keep for myself. :)
i'm constantly looking for new experiences, challenges and creative
endeavors. i love <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=singing">singing</a> and have been in a number of
bands over the years (i also play guitar). love to <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=dance">dance</a> and see live performances of
all kinds, from spoken word to music to theater.<br />
<br />
i've been in sf for three years. i've got a host of amazing friends
and am involved in diverse creative projects. i'm actively involved
in the sex-positive community, and am currently working with a
group of people to organize a community space.<br />
<br />
i am entertaining, witty, and unusual
i'm big blond &amp; genderqueer and feel less girlish despite my
appearance being more traditionally feminine (the prospect of
getting rid of my hair is alluring...stylist recommendations
appreciated). i was raised in southern california and transplanted
to san francisco in 2005 when i started school. i graduated with a
degree in psychology and currently work with teenagers as a mental
health counselor in a high level group home. i like softball so i
built up a team of friends and we're going strong in the sf
softball league.<br />
<br />
in order to reconcile my love for the rockies and everything
mountainous and my love for san francisco and everything
nonconforming, ingenious, queer, and radical, i'm transforming my
north beach bedroom into a homely, woodsy cabin that makes me
forget that i'm not in breckenridge colorado.<br />
<br />
personality wise, it takes a lot to tousle my composure (for better
or worse) and i'm attracted to people on the more intense and
expressive side.
i'm super fun, love to laugh and make others laugh! i enjoy
spending time with my sister &amp; nephew when i can. i paint,
study, bake and always try to better myself.
in a single weekend i might go cycling, hit up a museum, have<br />
friends over for dinner, spend an afternoon on a volunteer project,
and then tear through a good book.<br />
<br />
i like to get outdoors whenever possible: riding my bike on
the<br />
weekends, lots of camping and backpacking trips, hiking,
sitting<br />
out in a park to read (so much reading for school right
now!),<br />
laying out on the beach, pretty much anything.<br />
<br />
some of my favorite hobbies and activities are dancing,
cycling,<br />
fencing, road trips, and wine.
i like to ride bikes. a lot.<br />
<br />
i like to snowboard.<br />
<br />
i like to surf.<br />
<br />
i like to camp/backpack.<br />
<br />
i'm a bit of a treehugger.<br />
<br />
i am amused that c++ is one of the language options on this site.
my friends up here finally talked me in to moving up from san diego
and after 20 years in a place i'm glad i did. certain hobbies of
mine include, but not limited to attending concerts,
participating/training in triathlons, hanging out with my friends
with some vinyl on and drinking the night away.
so you're probably wondering what a doki is. to be honest, i don't
even know. my friend started this account for me and from the
sounds of it, she ate 2 of them in the process.
i've lived in boston, chicago and chevy chase-md. i moved to sf two
years ago; the best move i've ever made. this area is
stunning!<br />
<br />
i like the many choices sf has to offer in terms of restaurants.
sat. and sun i like to bike across the bridge, maybe climb mt tam
or head over to nicasio or pt. reyes. recently tried bikram yoga
and loved it.<br />
<br />
at least twice a week i like to venture into the kitchen and cook
up a storm!<br />
<br />
i wish okcupid had the option "secular humanist as choice for
religion.
fairly new to sf. i am a pro athlete, coach and choreographer. i
would love to meet a business oriented, open minded, old romantic ,
artistic guy who works hard during the week and plays hard on the
weekends. must be loving, honest and affectionate.<br />
i am very masculine and am very attracted to european men. must be
fit and care about their bodies.
6th generation sf-er!~!~!
i wear my sunglasses @ night, i love to cook and can make the most
boring things in life as fun as hell!!! i'm me and i'm not gonna
change for you or anyone else so if u want to mold me into your
prince charming or whatevs.... good luck!!! i treat others the way
i want to be treated and respect everyone until they prove they
deserve otherwise!!!
you know how with some people after a couple years you've heard all
their stories? i'm not like that. though i'm pretty open for the
most part, i've led an interesting life and have a few anecdotes :)
my smiling muscles are well-exercised and two of my major life
goals are to always continue learning and to only become bitter
enough to bring out my sweetness. i can laugh at myself, and i
learn as much as i can from my mistakes. generally pretty cheerful,
sometimes snarky, often mischievous. i hear that my enthusiasm is
contagious.
i will update with more soon. been busy. what i have up is boring.
does not say much about me. check it out anyway. much-love!
i was born and raised in rio de janeiro, brazil, moved to san
francisco bay area back in 1998. fell in love with the place and
the people from here.<br />
<br />
my whole family is still in rio, but they come to visit every other
year and i travell down there at least once a year to charge my
batteries.<br />
<br />
i'm adventurous, optimistic, honest, creative, and funny at times.
i always feel wierd filling these things out. i consider myself to
be kind hearted and not too jaded yet. i think im a little odd with
a quirky sense of humor. i have lots of varied interests and have a
tendency to get obsessed with some of my interests. maybe to say
i'm passionate is a better desciption then "obsessed". still feel
wierd about this.
i am a chinese american, born and raised in san francisco. i worked
for over 35 years for the city of sf, and recently retired. i am
open minded, easy going, and have a positive outlook on life. i
enjoy my life and what it brings to me because life is not
promised. i enjoy quiet times at home, peaceful times in the
outdoors, exciting times traveling and seeing the world, and
quality times with friends and family. i hope to find a companion
to share thoughts and life with. i would love to hear from
you.<br />
<br />
thank you for viewing my profile, and have a great day!
i don't like writing about myself, but here is my best attempt at
trying to not sound smug or arrogant. i am regular dude, who loves
adventure and having fun. life is meant to be fun, and i try to
live it up. i love doing things that some people wouldn't such as
skydiving and bungee jumping. i love having fun, and doing
spontaneous stuff such as playing hide and go seek at coit tower,
or sliding sign hill in south city and other random fun adventures.
i like spontaneous theology discussions. i love medicine, jesus,
reading, movies, hanging out with friends and having deep
conversations over a good beer, the 49ers and the giants, and
playing with my dog.
i have a good heart, care more about what is inside than how much
money a guy makes. i know it's the little things that make a
difference.. i'm playful and love to laugh. i get turned on by good
conversation and love to learn. i don't look my age and take care
of myself.<br />
i love music, am a big movie head and read a lot. i am not
conservative a few tats and piercings.<br />
i am self-employed and love what i do.<br />
<br />
i am playful, cute, and real
so yeah...ya come here often?<br />
no, okay. well then.<br />
<br />
i'm a thirty-something livin it up in san francisco. bay area
raised out there in the grapevines of napa, scooted off to la and
returned home where there's no place like it.<br />
<br />
for fun i like to paint, write creatively and explore the city. i
love foodie and wine type of events, from hole in the wall donut
shops to fancy wine parings. i'm the kind of lady who blends well
in different environments.<br />
<br />
random facts:<br />
i spent three months traveling by myself and figuring it out as i
went. it was lovely!<br />
<br />
i worked for 2 years as a photo-retoucher in los angeles and mainly
did magazine work.<br />
<br />
i was in a tae bo test group with billy blanks. it was super fun
and he's an amazing person.<br />
<br />
i broke my jaw on a bicycle before i could drive a car. i now
commute mainly via motorcycle, but would like a pedal-bike
again.<br />
<br />
my favorite flavor of ice cream is coffee.
i am a constant mover, complete nerd, and a dreamer. if you find
yourself consistently saying to yourself, "i can figure out how to
do that." we're probably a good match.<br />
<br />
i thought i would throw a few keywords that would describe me. if
you recognize yourself feel free to continue reading. and if not,
no worries :)<br />
<br />
travel, reading lots, music, warm weather versus cold, sports, last
minute plans, dancing, living an active life and exploring, curious
about everything, and respecting your neighbor.<br />

a girl's gotta have a... sense of style, the ability to run in
heels, a sparkle in her eyes, and a beautiful smile. intelligence
and ambition is attractive, curiosity is cute, and easy-going is
even better. i like a girl that can go with the flow but stand up
for what she believes in too. if you're gung ho about your job and
a slight workaholic, but only because you want to enjoy the finer
things / retire early; we'll probably relate well.
i am a current graduate student. i enjoy spiritual, educational,
and personal development.
i'm upbeat with lots of humor and i go after what i want with
energy. i'm connected to the earth and thrive on the outdoors.
hiking, and gardening are some of my favorite activities.
practicing yoga, listening to music and playing or writing music
also bring me tremendous joy. though i spend time alone being
creative and self-reflective, i'm also very comfortable with
people. i'm a part of a loving family and community and i spend
time developing these relationships. i'm always interested in
meeting new people and expanding my circle of friends, colleagues
and experiences. i'm socially aware and politically progressive. i
hope to have a positive effect on the world and leave it a better
place than i found it. i'm looking for someone who has a sense of
purpose and is fufilled by his work and play. someone who thinks
deeply, questions authority, is comfortable in their own skin and
can feel compassion for those who are suffering. i'm looking for
someone who can laugh easily, and doesn't take themselves, other
people, problems, or successes too seriously. someone who can love
unconditionally, with an open, honest heart. someone who has
youthful energy, and who's willing to take risks and have
fun.<br />
<br />
i am down-to earth, creative, and fun
i'm an entrepreneur, designer, and artist. i'm ambitious and
dedicated to my work, but love to have a good time! laughter is one
of the most important things to me, so you'll usually catch me
making a joke. i'm not one of those people who say they like to try
new things and never do - i'm always out exploring new places and
shaking things up.<br />
<br />
i used to design space ships for nasa. andddd i have a killer
record collection. :-)
a synopsis :<br />
- i am a mechanical engineer (n3rd) and artist-ish
(crazy-ish?)<br />
- i love a finely crafted porter, stout, whiskey or bourbon.<br />
- i am a sucker for cello<br />
- i love cooking &amp; baking, but i hate doing the dishes<br />
- the happiest feeling in the world is sitting in the sun with
someone i love<br />
- i am competent in a range of dance styles, including ballet,
bhangra, and breakdancing...<br />
- i have an irrational fear of moths, due to their chaotic flight
paths<br />
- i can sleep through anything except for periodic noises (e.g. i
won't hear the garbage truck, but i will go crazy if the tap is
dripping... and then i will fix it by any means necessary, usually
duct tape)<br />
- i get turned on by the scent of vanilla and tangerines, but
cilantro makes me nauseous<br />
- i am currently infatuated with karen o. and jhameel<br />
- i have random fits of patience, wherein i can make 100 origami
stars or finish a really good book in one sitting<br />
- i love the shopping carts at ikea (yay, holonomy!)<br />
- someone whispering sweet/dirty things to me in non-english makes
me weak in the knees
i am a san francisco guy...25 years... work, surf the beach, and
back to work. i like travel to many countries and around the united
states. i've been to 41 states so far! love to learn new things
from people and go to new places. i love having a great laugh
too... i love anything from old anime, making and eating food and
playing my guitar at a small show once in awhile. i am intelligent,
funny, and loveable .... looking to settle down with someone who is
crazy about me as i will be for her :) note - i must have been
modest on my "adventurous" answers...it seems everyone is always
more adventurous than me..i am not gollum, or a hobbit..i just look
like one! hee hee !
darius is that woman pleasing... pie eating... trail blazing...
eyebrow raising... step off the break, put your foot on the gas...
always ready to get some ass... the sexy*beast, darius kwest!!!!
my faith lies at the center of who i am, but i am also a teacher
and a biomedical engineer who enjoys hanging out with many
different types of people. i'm a little bit of a hippie, into
meditation, bicycling, cooking from my csa box, reading novels or
books about theology... but also not afraid to admit that sometimes
i really enjoy superhero movies, fishing, having a beer and
watching sports.<br />
<br />
i'm an intj and i try to keep my life simple.
"all i need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and i'm fine
man"<br />
<br />
i definitely believe in the work hard/play hard mentality. i'm
never one to turn down a party/good time, but it's important to
have balance. whether it is a new restaurant, hiking trail or
chance to meet new people, i am always down for new
people/experiences.<br />
<br />
i'm proud to consider myself a truly nice guy. i have found that
good manners go a long way. life is too short to be mean
anyway.<br />
<br />
i'm a huge sports nut and am always down to play a pickup game or
watch a game somewhere.
i'm an east-coast transplant, but i've been in oakland for 10 yrs
now, so it's definitely home to me.<br />
<br />
i am passionate about staying physically active, supporting my
friends, learning new things, and bettering myself. i love
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=soccer">soccer</a> and hope to
get back to it as soon as i can. i did <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=triathlon">triathlon</a> for a few years and will one
day get back to that, but it really sucks up all your time and
becomes your life. for now, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=running">running</a> suffices.<br />
<br />
philosophically, i don't believe in instant gratification.
i play <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=board+games">board
games</a> and <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=rock+climb">rock

i also like computer games, such as <a class="ilink" href=

i'm still writing my book. i'm a transplant from the east coast- a
fresh start to meet new people and experience new things. i'm a
do'er not a watcher. i'm confident and adventurous. i like to hike
and bike, take risks and might be a little shy at first. blah blah,
i'm talking about myself without you asking me questions.
aspiring audio engineer, guitarist, music enthusiast, astronaut,
etc. too many books, not enough records.<br />
mbti infp.
the short story is my wife died late 2008 after 30 years of
marriage. i'm energetic, financially secure and looking for a good
woman. no baggage. have recently retired (early 2011) and am
enjoying the freedom and opportunity to explore things and places
not possible before. i am happy, searching, and stable.
finished my bachelor's at ucsc, and am now working and living in
the bay area. i love finding a seat on bart, finding money on bart,
and reading...on bart.
hey, uhm. yeah. i'm a bundle of labels, thanks, *society*. you
probably want to know them but my memory is terribad so let's edit
them in when they get back to floating through my limbic system.
i live to laugh, learn and show off in the kitchen....eating out,
music and art shows, books, movies, dancing and travel are how i
like to entertain myself.... i'm most impressed by the simple
pleasures such as the beauty of nature and good conversation with
people who makes me laugh, but if i make you laugh that's even
better.<br />
i am adventurous....and appreciate the off the beaten track
approach to life. not particularly athletic, to keep fit i do yoga
and walk the hills.<br />
i am healthy, smart, have a sense of style, warm, open minded,
creative and can appreciate quirks and contradictions.
things to know about me... here goes.i love to travel! i have
visited 10 foreign countries, and plan on seeing many more.<br />
i like going out dancing and being social with friends.
wakeboarding and snowboarding are my sports. i love doing things
outdoors and communing with nature. but i also like hanging out on
vacay at a resort with a pool boy bringing me yummy cocktails with
umbrellas in them.<br />
i love wearing jeans and sneakers, but feel fantastic when i'm
wearing a hot mini-dress and 4 inch heels.<br />
i'm a pretty great cook(so i've been told). i like watching the
food network and getting new ideas.<br />
i'm not afraid to pick up and move across the country on a whim(i
did it twice). ny and fl are cool places to live(minus the
hurricanes i experienced).<br />
i love my huge family, and dig spending time with them. my neices
and nephews are the cutest things ever.<br />
i have a big heart and genuinely like helping others. however, do
not mistake my kindness for weakness.<br />
i'm trying hard everyday to become a better person than i was the
day before by pursuing education and learning new things.<br />
i am fascinated with people, but a little confused by men
sometimes.<br />
<br />
i am sf, mia, and nyc
i like canadians, grilled cheese, good books, animals, flossing,
black and white photographs that i didn't take, dressing up like
super heros and prom queens, and drinking cheap wine.<br />
<br />
i would consider myself an <a class="ilink" href=

i am open to discussions on most any topic. i would say i enjoy
most things adventurous but also love staying home and watching tv.
i love making things; i kind of <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=knit">knit</a> and quilt. i have grand dreams of
taking glass blowing classes when i get more settled. i sing in the
shower and in the car - regardless if my windows are down or not. i
love to <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=cook">cook</a>, but
only <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=vegetarian">vegetarian</a>, but have no problems with

i am probably one of the sappiest and sarcastic people you will
ever encounter.<br />
<br />
i am quixotic, effervescent, and passionate
i'm not a mainstream guy. just try it!<br />
<br />
i'm the opposite extreme to a fashion victim.<br />
<br />
i'm mad about technology. tireless, patient, restless,<br />
unpretentious, funny, curious, well travelled, i enjoy to
discover<br />
the pleasure of simple things like walking in nature or in a<br />
beautiful place, dancing, reading, watching and doing <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=cinema">cinema</a> (<br />
classic b&amp;w movies, indie, documentary, etc.) but also a<br />
stimulating conversation with good food &amp; <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=wine">wine</a> i'm in love<br />
with the bay area and love the nor-cal parks, so this is why
i'm<br />
planning to move this year to the bay area.<br />

i used to be always in a good mood. i'm absolutely casual on all
my<br />
style..not a mainstream type at all. tender but also
passionatei<br />

word<br />
for meas i speak several languages (english is not my native<br />
language) and i have many different interests, i m interested
in<br />
learning about different cultures and people<br />
<br />
i would like to meet new,and of course, interesting yet
challenging<br />
people...<br />
<br />
i am smart, unconventional, and a free spirit
looking for smart clean fun. no baggage or judging.
my name is quincy.<br />

i love free food, if youre offering.
i am gentle, shy, cuddly, honest, caring, known to be extremely
generous. i am open-minded and non-judgemental. and probably a bit
quirky.<br />
<br />
i am interested in expanding my horizons and trying new
things.<br />
<br />
i would like to meet early on; preferably in a calm environment
where i can really get to know you better.

a lil summary about me i am from the city born and raised im pureto
rican an mex/white 22,really chill dont do much drama like to do my
own thing big sports fan go giants ufc is my shit cant really say
to many things bad bout myself even tho i am sure there a few ppl
that could.
i enjoy great conversation and thrive around happy people.
intelligence is very important to me. i have a great full time job
in oakland and am also a part-time piano teacher. i'm very
introspective and expect a lot from myself and those around me.
sometimes i'm trusting to a fault but i don't want to live any
other way.
i grew up in northern california, went to college in boston, and
moved to sf recently from sacramento. i'm loving it here and am
looking to meet someone new in the city. i'm a girly girl, but
don't let the dress and heels fool you; i love the mountains and
camping and i enjoy diy projects around the house. i'm a practical
person with a job, education and life in order and i'm looking for
a guy with the same.
some new details about me...<br />
likes:<br />
- indoor rock climbing (just learned - so fun)<br />
- college football - go blue!<br />
- bonfires at costanoa<br />
- running in winter snow<br />
- backrubs (not too hard)<br />
- good food, great reds<br />
- a job i love, with mcds ice coffee on the commute<br />
dislikes:<br />
- grumps<br />
- skunks (like the one that visited my yard, animal not
human)<br />
- broccoli, i know it's a super food...<br />
<br />
i am the slightly mischievous girl next door...
i travel for work a lot. other than that i'm usually looking for
someone to just relax and enjoy my time off with.
i moved up to half moon bay last summer to teach at an alt. ed.
high school before that i was in santa cruz for a few years getting
my teaching credential and beginning this new phase of my life. i
was born in new york, grew up in phoenix, went to college in
seattle, and have travelled quite a bit. before moving to
california, i taught english in ecuador.
i am a transplant from the east coast and can't figure out why
people don't get my sense of humor. i am pretty low key, enjoy the
outdoors, make friends easily, great conversationalist, and am a
great listener.
i'd like to put something well thought-out here, but the clock
seems to be ticking on this whole "complete the profile"
initiative. the fact that i desire to put something meaningful here
should mean something, or maybe a better measure would be all the
questions i answer 'irrelevant' to.
i love animals, the outdoors, having fun, experiencing life and
would love to meet someone to enjoy all of the above with.
i laugh a lot, perhaps too much, most when it's inappropriate or
unprofessional. sometimes i just think funny things! most of all, i
laugh at myself. i prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate,
peet's over starbuck's, reading and playing games over watching tv,
fitness over fatness, and frequent travel. i try to walk whenever
possible, but i have great parking karma!
i've never failed to be utterly daunted by a prompt to write<br />
something about myself. i'm an introvert who's trying to<br />
claw his way towards social functionality. by all reports
this<br />
seems to be going fairly well! i still enjoy quiet
conversation<br />
with people i care about more than loud activities with large<br />
groups of strangers. i'm entranced by the power of human thought
and expression, yearn for a better world, and struggle to find ways
to make existence generally more pleasant without sacrificing my
own personal happiness. i think humor is one of the purest forms of
human expression, and revel in its practice. i try to be honest,
though never cruelly so.
frolick-y, fiery, fairly frantic female; rarely fickle; prefers
fresh fruit over fanta.<br />
<br />
i'm gregarious, kind-hearted, and find a great deal of meaning
through engaging in the world.<br />
<br />
i grew up here in the bay area, but lived in portland (oregon) for
4 years and nyc for 3. i moved back here for grad school, and am
enjoying the proximity to my family and many old friends.<br />
<br />
i enjoy reading, exploring, playing music, and learning. i'm
currently in my second year of grad school, and i'm a full-time
student. i take my career very seriously, meaning that school is my
first priority. that being said, i'd very much like to meet someone
i can enjoy spending time with, and who enjoys a somewhat brash,
somewhat lovely, smart and sassy gal.<br />
<br />
i am sassy, salacious, and super
here's what you'll quickly find out about me: i have a wicked sense
of humor, love to laugh, have a kind heart and care about people.
i'm also spontaneous and love adventure; i recently made a
spur-of-the-moment trip to join friends skiing in vail. i also got
talked into joining a friend in a volunteer backpacking trip in the
utah wilderness to "murder" invasive russian olive trees this
summer; i loved it!<br />
i'm drawn to those who share a lust for life, possess humor, charm,
creativity, honesty, energy, passion, a good heart and a quick
mind.
i am a fun and energetic person with a sharp wit so you better be
on your toes! things i enjoy would include international travel,
dining out (which in sf is an experience in itself), hiking, day
trips, movies, and dancing. i am self-employed with a flexible
schedule and love what i do. i have a very creative and artistic
side and have a knack for landscaping and home improvement
projects. i'm easy-going and have a quirky side which you might
find interesting.
i love history, the economist, trying out new cuisines, exploring
sf&lt; ensemble/plot driven tv shows, and tequila. i'm definitely a
glass is half full kind of person, and i try to be positive. carbs
smothered in cheese is a really big weakness of mine. hell, cheese
in general.
i am one who goes with the flow of the moment, but i am not afraid
to stick up for myself. i try to enjoy where i am at any one time.
i enjoy and appreciate my family and friends. i am not in close
proximity to my family, so my friends and their families have all
welcomed me in.<br />
i like to be active, so i attend concerts, sporting events (prefer
live to tv), just started playing in an adult co-ed kickball team,
camp, dine out, wine taste, movies, long drives and group
activities. i enjoy the down time too, so a nice dinner prepared
together and a glass of wine, at home, alone is very special. i can
equally be happy with a bag of popcorn and good conversation with
the right person. i like to be surrounded by friends, in good and
bad times. i appreciate their honesty!<br />
i believe that you should be able to laugh at yourself and love
yourself. to enjoy the life you have and if not, try to change what
you can. accept what you can't change. life isn't fair, but it's
still good.<br />
i would like to explore what the bay area has to offer and looking
for the right person to share with me.
in descending order of importance, here are some of the traits by
which i define myself. i am:<br />
<br />
 self-sufficient<br />
&nbsp;intelligent<br />
 slim<br />
 non-religious<br />
&nbsp;male<br />
 from a small country<br />
 considerate<br />
<br />
i recently chatted to a good friend that i used to live with in new
zealand. at one point we talked about my somewhat hermetic
existence in san francisco and my self-sufficiency which until then
i'd considered a virtue. he linked me to a couple of articles and
an amazing xkcd (http://xkcd.com/610/). on of the articles, which
mentioned getting down in the pit and loving somebody, made me
question my position. i'm certainly not of the opinion that love is
the *only* thing that gives life meaning, but it's certainly one of
them. so at some point i'm gonna amend the above list and get into
pit.
i rock!!! the hardest part about rocking so hard is that sometimes
i pass out from it. i remember once i was getting totally rictor on
my axe and shredding so hard that the guitar caught on fire. it was
super totally sweet. i also rocked so hard that i made a guy
spontaneously combust. it was massively major badass.<br />
<br />
after a good night of rocking i like to take off my neon spandex
outfit, wash off the make up, and just chill out and think about
how hard i rocked. if i'm not totally rocking i'm probably
sleeping. if i'm sleeping then i'm totally rocking out in my dream.
if i'm sleeping in my dream then i'm probably tired from rocking so
hard. once i was rocking out to some totally massive jams and was
shredding so hard that i was totally hardcore charging. after that
i fell asleep and dreamed i was rocking.<br />
<br />
if you are totally sweet let me know, we can party.<br />
<br />
i'm just kidding by the way. i'm not really like that. :)
i love to celebrate. i like buying cheap champagne for the most
mundane occasions, just because the pop of the cork makes everyone
feel more festive. i seek out street parties and niche clubs so
that i can dress up in something different. i try to cook seasonal
recipes, because knowing that i can only have something at that
time of year makes it feel more special. i am almost always
listening to dance music.<br />
<br />
i moved here from suburban indiana after college to seek fortune
and adventure in the golden state. so far it's been a pretty fun
ride. i'm getting better at rock climbing and learning a lot about
food and wine. i also ran a half marathon, reduced my meat intake,
and started rocking bangs! aaagh, i hate being a
stuffwhitepeoplelike.com stereotype.
i'm a pretty chill and easygoing guy hoping to see what happens on
this okcupid site. even though i am pretty chill, i'm no pushover
though (my career as a teacher would be over fast if i was.). i'm
looking for woman who likes their man idealistic, a little goofy,
wears his heart on sleeve, and enjoys the small things in life.
i've taken a bit of time to ponder the effectiveness of okcupid's
extensive questionnaire and came to this conclusion. i think
they're doing a great job in trying to find you a partner. but when
it comes to finding love, 300+ questions about your likes/dislikes
isn't going to achieve that goal. as for me, on any given day, a
cute smile will trump comparable cultural beliefs. show me a sexy,
worked-out body and the match/friend/enemy ratios flies out the
window. i doubt that there's any intelligent gay man on this social
website that would disagree with this assessment. love is much more
an art, than a social science. regardless, it's fun and worth
pursuing.<br />
happy hunting!
west virginian (5th generation) and a citizen of the world. yet i
have not lived in appalachia for 30 years.<br />
<br />
from 1966 to 1982, i was in a new town, state or country, every 6
months on average. then i lived in [san francisco] for exactly 10
years.<br />
<br />
now in pacifica, half-way between the beach and the mountain-top (2
miles each way) in a cottage which once was ivy-covered with roses
and ferns around the door but now has [native plants] all around
(better for [birds] and [butterflies]).<br />

3 wives &amp; 50 xgfs: the current is the permanent partner (20th
anniversary); a real witch, she is a coven member and a
snake-priestess in the temple of isis. also, a labor &amp; delivery

<br />
i am free thinking, musical, and mathematical
artist, designer of home and garden, lover of: music, nature,<br />
the river; people with wit, smarts, heart; complexity, simplicity;
intelligence of mind, body, emotion; places unpackaged,
reality;<br />
painting, photography, seeing; life... love.. mystery..
mostly cheerful, loving, loyal and looking to share my life with
someone who enjoys being treated with respect and caring...<br />
<br />
my interests are pretty varied- i love to swim, garden, cook and
bake, walk in tilden and in my rockridge neighborhood, local stuff
like street fairs and farmers' markets. i work out at the berkeley
y to keep my bmi less than 25! i spend a fare amount of time
maintaining my vacation rental- people visit from all over the
world and have a real home in which to stay. i actively maintain my
garden, which i designed myself after taking out the front lawn
years ago.<br />
<br />
i'm retired from my career as a financial planning educator- i
taught in many east bay adult schools and at the community college
level for many years. i found it to be satisfying because i felt i
made a positive contribution to peoples' well being and
security.<br />
<br />
back in the '60s and '70s, i was a self supporting artist and
finally earned my degree in studio art 10 years ago. i took classes
while still working as a financial planner- and swam for the cal
state hayward [now east bay] swim team when i was 47...i'm
certainly not a jock now, but was the oldest ncaa athlete in the
country at the time.<br />
<br />
i look forward to taking a few trips- and am definitely looking for
a travel buddy. my style is pretty low-key- staying in smaller
local places and eating local food. now on my proverbial 'bucket
list": paris and giverny, budapest, prague and cuba.<br />

my family and friends tell me i'm a good cook, which makes me happy
because i love to do it...and having a special someone to share and
cook for is something i look forward to.<br />
<br />
i'm looking to being in a long-term, sensual relationship with a
man who has a flexible schedule or is retired.
my tag line is "this is not a dress rehearsal" and what that means
for me is to make each day count. that could be deepening a
friendship, making a work relationship more personal, visiting a
new location, being moved by a piece of art or natural beauty,
learning a new skill or expanding my self awareness.<br />
i am a romantic at heart and i want to sweep you off your feet with
my charm and my wit. i am very generous and i love to share. share
experiences, fine food, insights, adventures, our bodies, our
hearts, even our hardships.<br />
i like to play on the soccer field and in the bedroom. i enjoy
being in my body...it's nice to get out of my head and be in the
experience of living.<br />
i do like to travel and i have been many places and there are many
more on my list.
so my grand plan has been to find complete strangers to write
these<br />
introductions for me with only pieces of a dream journal i had in
college. so, yeah, "plan a" has been put on ice for a moment. i'm
not going to send you pictures of my genitals, i'll just throw that
out in the ether. and, i'm not lying about my height. i try and
ride that fine line between charming gentleman, and mercurial
shithead, obviously, leaning towards the latter. i am loyal, to a
fault. they're probably a few friends in this digital petri dish
that will attest to that, or, at least, until i get my forty bucks
back. i swim, play softball, and make a general half-assed effort
to put my shit away. i love anything inappropriately funny and
served on a stick. death metal, stonerdom, and nerd cultural are
like warm blankets to me, but i am neither a burnout or overly
aloof. albeit, i'm probably a bit sleepy. i'm all about keeping
fairly sharp and staying in the moment, as we all know, we're not
getting out of here alive . anybody should be writing this,
other<br />
than me, obviously.
i'm a self starter and i started years ago. i like to work if it is
meaningful and helpful. and i like to play, usually in waves and in
the waves between intense work.<br />
<br />
right now i am not going out much because i have too much to do.
but, i like people.
words are a weird way to meet someone. sorry it had to be this way
for us, but also not really. just take this virtuality for what its
worth, cause self-bios are inherently bogus.<br />
<br />
i am a ridiculously compassionate person, though i have little
patience for bullshit or boredom. im lookin for the wild and funky
at all times. getting down to earth on a daily basis is hard shit
though im trying my bestest.
what's with the short term dating thing? what does that even mean?
it's like you are pre-dooming a relationship or a discrete way of
saying wanting casual sex, no?<br />
<br />
moi: i have a love for music, body modifications(piercings,
tattoos, etc..), video games, makeup(if you don't like women with
facial piercings and who wear makeup, go away), linguistics, rainy
weather, and movies; pretty much in that order too.<br />
<br />
i do not have a friend in jesus, but if you happen to, i don't
discriminate.<br />
<br />
often my idea of fun is going to cafes and/or walking around with
my friends doing nothing in particular ; not much of a party
person.<br />
<br />
i can't cook, but i would like to learn. i'm very chill, down to
earth, and open minded. i wholeheartedly detest drama(and i'm not
one of those people who say they hate drama yet are surrounded by
it constantly).<br />
<br />
if you are extremely sensitive(meaning someone who becomes angered
or offended easily too), we will not get along, period. i can be a
little opinionated, moody and crass at times. at the same time i
can be very reserved, compassionate and nice...<br />
<br />
yep, that's about it for now...
laughing and smiling are at the center of my worlds. i enjoy
working out, hiking, golfing and touring wine country. this thing
keeps yelling at me that i have to put 500 words or more on here
so.....<br />
<br />
i think i'm funny. i like people who are also funny (major bonus
points if after meeting me you determine that i am indeed funny). i
believe sarcasm is the ultimate mental foreplay and should be
deployed at all times and all costs. this of course sometimes
proves problematic with those in the population who don't "get
it".<br />
<br />
i own a tuxedo and a couple of very nice suits and can clean up
well when the situation requires - wedding, funeral, ballet
opening, etc. however, i much prefer to be in shorts and flip flops
with the top down heading to either a friend's bbque or a music
event in wine country.<br />
<br />
being physically active and fit is very important to me. i find my
mental state to be so much better when my body feels
energized.<br />
<br />
i'm told that i look and act (in a good way) much younger than my
birth certificate would indicate. looking for someone who can keep
up regardless of their birthdate.<br />
<br />

i'm assuming he likes his food spicy and would it be asking too
much to get a pair of hot mitts? (i'm an atheist btw)<br />

<br />
and as my good friend ricardo montablan was fond of
saying.....<br />
" smiles everyone, smiles ! "
this is my first time doing an online dating thing. i admit i've
always been a little skeptical of these things, but life is pretty
chill right now, so i figured i'd just give this a shot and see
what happens. i grew up in socal. then i came up to norcal for
school and have stayed here since. i enjoy hanging out with
friends, checking out new places, trying out new fun things, and
low-key hanging out/relaxing. i dont really enjoy dancing/clubbing.
probably if i had to pick a few words to describe me they'd be:
genuine, friendly, hardworking, fun but also serious when i need to
be, and sometimes childish. recently, i've been thinking about
career and life stuff.
i have to start this by saying that i'm not so sure about this
online dating thing. having been born in the '80s, i was raised to
believe all strangers on the internet were old men just pretending
to be my age, and they'd mention no end of puppies to get me to
give out personal information or meet with them. i'm pretty sure
there's a few csi episodes that follow the same idea as well, and
that's real life right?<br />
<br />
that said, i've also been drinking wine.<br />
<br />
anyway i consider myself pretty laid-back. i'll skip the part where
i talk about long walks on the beach (though those are fine), but i
do like relaxing in parks and going to brunch. brunch is one of my
favorite things, right up there with fireplaces and a well-brewed
cup of tea. do you like french toast and mimosas? we'd probably get
on swimmingly.<br />
<br />
i'm a little adventurous and love to travel, too. i spent a few
years after graduating university working abroad; just long enough
to start pronouncing certain words oddly or adding strange
inflections when i talk. i just like going new places and getting a
little lost.<br />
<br />
on a typical weeknight i'm probably at home reading a book, but if
that's not the case i also like to go dancing, try new restaurants
in the city, or go to some music show. i'm always looking for new
music to listen to, and have pretty wide-spread (yet picky) tastes.
except for country. i have no interest in country music.<br />
<br />
i guess i'm looking for someone like-minded, interesting and
hard-working. i'm also past the point of liking the 'bad boy'
thing. if you're a d-bag, there's probably plenty of other girls to
write bad poetry about you. i also like guys who are taller than
me, capable of carrying on well in a crowd of strangers, and can
punctuate properly.<br />
<br />
but i don't know what any of this really says about me as a datable
lady.
hi, i'm just a profile. i'm trying to find a compatible girl for my
friend in the photo. dang, it's so hard to write what i'm about
when it changes all the time. i strive to grow everyday and learn
something new. i'm interested in marketing and real estate right
now: but i do hair. i love my job and am willing to share my
success with a partner and who is willing to share their successes
with me.
i was born in rome and came here in my early 20's so i still have
an accent but i don't need a green card.<br />
professionally i am a critical care nurse.<br />
for fun i'm so many things from tailor to chef and baker . i never
want stop learning new things for example i took up skateboarding
couple of years ago.<br />
a very important thing for me are my boys, a 21 year old one that
leaves in the south and a 15 year old that lives with me. i love
them so much. i'm not looking for a father figure for them, i'm
just opening the door to new adventures!<br />
i like to be happy and laugh and i enjoy food , company, music and
conversations.<br />
i am shy if i don't know people but after a short time i open up
and i'm also a good listener.
i'm a cheeky, fun-loving lady who is wookin pa nub. ;-) i've lived
all over the place (sf, dc, san diego, glasgow-i know kinda
random), recently moved back to the peninsula (where i grew
up)...hoping to move back into the city soon. i'm a berkeley grad
(go bears!) and an attorney by trade. i love music, reading,
traveling and sports. i will never get mad if you want to spend the
weekend watching college and pro football-i get it. i always feel
like these summaries sound so boring, so if you want to know more,
drop me a line! and how do i get a reward? i want the strawberry
dipped in chocolate b/c it looks delicious!
bay area native. went to college in boston. had a corporate job for
several years but recently left to join a startup... scary, but
exciting. i adore sf and enjoy living here, but lately the city has
been feeling way too small. open to meeting cool people who can
share a new perspective on this place.
originally from arizona, but moved to sf from hawaii in 2010.
living in sf has been a 180 degree change of pace from island life
and definitely an amazing adventure so far.

i write songs and stories and sometimes stories about songs.
there's almost always a new album and another one in the works. i
cover the bills by copyediting for publishing houses and magazines
(but i'm not a grammar snob). i also once co-founded a
writing-focused public high school, then worked as an administrator
there for four years. a big resolution this year has been to get
back to helping kids with writing.<br />
<br />
i lived in new york, mostly brooklyn, for fifteen years. in january
i settled in san francisco, near family.
i love living in san francisco, playing, loving, laughing, creating
and discovering.<br />
<br />
mostly enjoy dancing, performance, music, great food, walks and
parks. most of all, i am amazingly blessed with great friends and
great connections.<br />
<br />
there is so much to stay active with, both with work and play.
enjoy not having too set a schedule, and room for spontaneous
activity.<br />
<br />
i also make time for myself to do nothing, reflect, renew and
rest.<br />
<br />
i really enjoy affection, both giving and receiving. while i feel
very 'male', and often come across very much as a man, i also have
a soft and feminine element within that adds more of a roundness to
who i am as well as allows me to have many different perspectives.
very grateful to experience a full range of emotions, and am
appreciative for having that capacity. communication is important
to me.<br />
<br />
i am inquisitive, affectionate, and open
i'm more of a slow burn than a flash.<br />
<br />
i've had successes and failures throughout life and i've discovered
a few things, such as: "the fun is almost always on the other side
of yes". that i regret the things i did not do, far more than the
things i have done. "the wtf is almost always on the other side of
tequila shots".<br />
<br />
i love to figure out how anything works and understand its essence.
that could be personalities, social interactions, politics,
technology or personal interactions. it's really a never-ending
pursuit which fulfills me :)<br />
<br />
i'm not 100% on this online dating thing yet, but i'd rather not
date my friends or co-workers, so... what the hell :)

<br />
i am good to my family and my friends. i believe community gets us
through life.<br />
<br />
i am a enfp in the myers briggs personality assessment. i am a 7 in
the enneagram. and my latest interest is the chinese zodiac. i am a
wood dragon. here a is a pretty good description of what that
means.<br />
<br />
the wood dragon 1904 and 1964<br />
<br />
wood has a modifying influence and brings creativity to this sign.
questioning and liberal, wood dragons enjoy talking about original
ideas and are open to other points of view. they are innovative,
imaginative practical and appreciate art in each of its forms.
generally less pretentious than other dragons, wood dragons have an
ability to get along with other people. they have the essentials to
build a prosperous and happy life for themselves. still, wood
dragons are outspoken and at times a bit pushy to quell everyone,
even in the most friendly quarrel.<br />
<br />
yes this is mostly true about me....the pushy part too.
oh hi, before you get started, might want to read up:
http://www.vice.com/read/chunklet-to-go-go-regular-human-beings<br />

<br />
most important thing to know about me is that i think that having
an interesting life, adventures worth re-telling, and good fortune
is usually the result of being open minded, up for whatever, and
talking to random people. the rest you can find in the other boxes
of this profile
i grew up in a southwestern mountain town where i learned that life
is simple and surprising. i'm a patient and stable person, with a
penchant for saying exactly what is on my mind.<br />
<br />
i've spent most of my life either outside wandering or inside
studying. i love hiking or just sitting in beautiful places. i'm a
sucker for traveling long distances just to sit in a natural hot
spring. at the same time, i like to just sit around reading and
thinking all day long.
self-summary? i keep changing this because i keep trying to figure
myself out.<br />
<br />
let me start with: i am a work in progress.<br />
i am a shy extrovert and a friendly introvert.<br />
a morning person in love with the nocturnal world.<br />
a lazy workaholic.<br />
<br />
i love to dance (irish set dance, swing goth, "ballroom") and can
even lead a little but my work schedule makes it hard to be a
habbit when often the dances start a half hour *after* i have to
leave. got some place on thur (my friday).<br />
<br />
i grew up in oakland and while i've stayed for a bit in different
area of the bay area, i keep coming back to oakland.<br />
<br />
i went to college and learned how to move things around.<br />
<br />
i went to burning man to learn that i can trust people farther than
i can throw them.<br />
<br />
i went to trade school to learn i have a lower thresh-hold for
people being rude and disrespectful when i'm trying to learn and
someone else is trying to teach.<br />
<br />
i went home to apply the things i have learned.<br />
<br />
i went outside to apply the things i have forgotten.<br />

i've lived long enough to know better but i do it anyway, and
usuallythough not alwayswith some measure of panache. i don't
mistake obsession for passion. i've been on a (the?) spiritual
path, however much i've stumbled, for my entire adult life. i'm not
a realized being, just a being who's realized that being realized
is a lot harder than it sounds, and is not all it's cracked up to
be, though who knows? not i, not having gotten there. mint chip and
chocolate chip cookie dough? my best friends. (when i'm eating
sugar). i heart smoking penguins. i understand skull imagery. i'm
an indoor cat who occasionally wonders what's happening out of
doors but can't always be bothered to go see. in a past life i was
a journalist; i still parse sentences obsessively. i'm an emotional
deep-sea diver, happiest one on one. i miss my cat, comma
(1992-2010).
first of all, i am brazilian, just arrived to california.<br />
<br />
i like to travel, i really love music, to be with my friends, talk
a lot... i like movies too. i love to read, to study, always know
more about something. like to take my computer and stay in web
reading or talking with my friends. i like to go out and have a lot
of fun. i love tattoos !<br />
well, in fact, i'm not so good to talk about myself. =)
one of the nicest things a stranger has ever said to me is that i
reminded them of tina fey--i think it was the glasses i was wearing
at the time, but i blow the whole thing out of proportion
anyway.<br />
<br />
i'm easygoing, good to my loved ones, drama-free, thoughtful in
lots of little ways, and into good surprises. i like <a class=

probably like fun, too, if we're going to hang out. i'm also a
christian, and i try (poorly) to let the love, joy, grace, and
honesty of jesus christ shine in and through my life--and i'm
looking for the same in a partner.<br />
<br />
i am warm, happy, and a minor dork. it's adorable, i promise.

*** i've written this as pretty much a big stream of info. it's not
in any way creative prose. it's also not the ideal delivery
mechanism, but hopefully serves to give you some insight on who i
am, what i'm about, where i'm going, what i'm looking for, and
what's important to me ***<br />
<br />
*** humor, i would say my humor is pretty unique. i take things i
have learned about a person and dream up scenarios where i play
back my knowledge of her/him in slightly exaggerated ways, bringing
in the context of the current moment and weaving in any and all
additional persons around me. i can use all that data i've been
collecting about you, your world, and the greater universe and
transform it into some vociferous laughter, or so i say :)

<br />
--&gt; now the schpeel<br />
<br />
i grew up rural, only child, dad immigrated from germany in his mid
twenties, mom has euro immigrant parents. big (but odd) farm till
adolescence. i stayed in my home town for school, then headed from
east (dc metro) to west (sf with a few years in palo alto/menlo
park/san bruno) for good in my late twenties. general plan well
established but new "old" challenges continue to press for a
lifelong solution. i've been here for about 12 years now (minus
travel time, year in portland, and two winters in tahoe, including
this one)<br />
<br />
i've come to see art in everything. and music. and boundless
energy. sf bay is truly a bubble - but a sustainable bubble of
intellect, soul, and know-how that shapes its world each and every
day. i am honored to be a part of that.<br />
<br />
i am adventurous, inventive, and fiery.
19, from la, came to sf for school at aau.<br />
i'm pretty chill. i like to hang out have a good time. i'm sweet,
have a sense of humor, and can hold a conversation....after i get
over my initial shyness. though after that, i'm kind of odd. i
quote random films and songs and find humor in almost anything.
i really struggle with these kinds of questions, but here
goes...<br />
<br />
i love my friends and my community! i think family and friends are
what life is really about. social justice issues are close to my
heart and were the focus of my studies, so they are at the top of
the list. hmmm, what else? i love music, adventure, fun, travel, so
much really...that sounds so caned, but it will have to do for
now.<br />
<br />
i am a super laid back neurotic...really i am both simultaneously,
its rather amazing!<br />
<br />
i have incredible friends, most of whom i have known for 10-20
years now, but i want more...and as i get clearer on what it is i
am looking for, it seems to be harder to find. lately i want a new
friend to share my life adventures with, all the ups and downs and
ups again! life is a journey, but journeys are always best when
shared!
i try to laugh as much as possible and hang out with people who
make me laugh....nothing more therapeutic than a good hardy laugh.
i've been trying to take life a little less serious lately, and
enjoy the moment and smell the roses. (=less time on the cell phone
and computer, more time on a snowboard and/or beach)<br />
<br />
love food and drink, love sports and movies, love last-minute trips
to somewhere sunny, love traveling and learning from other
cultures.<br />
<br />
i'm about as low maintenance as you'll find and my laid-back
attitude is sometimes mistaken for indifference.....but trust me,
the wheels are always spinning.<br />
<br />
i'm from here, went to high school and college in sf (usf), but i
don't rub it up in everybody's face and complain about all the
transplants from ohio and how much cooler the city used to be back
in the day. nonsense. i've moved away a few times, and i always end
up back here, so i understand how addicting this city can
be.....so, welcome everybody, enjoy! and by the way, i call it san
fran or frisco all the time, there's no unwritten rule about that,
i don't care what the cheap tourist books say.
hi my name is emmi. i walk this world to play music and make art in
all forms. i play guitar and some piano and can pick up many
instruments as i love music theory. i love writing; from poetry to
stories and songs etc. i'm not the stereotype of most things.<br />
<br />
i'm gender and many other things radical. im
queer(queer,poly,switch until proven otherwise). im clean and sober
but not an asshole about it. my preferred pronouns are zhe/zir but
if you're not familiar with that stuff she/her is fine.<br />
<br />
i'm often blunt and speak my mind. i believe in thinking for one's
self and that everything human breaks down to love in some
way.<br />
<br />
i'm not perfect, but i work for what i believe in.<br />
<br />
the work i do that makes me most happy is often the stuff no one
else ever knows directly about.<br />
<br />
i love everyone.....even the people i hate.<br />
<br />
i appreciate the role of contradictions in making sense of the
world.<br />

khalil gibran- "beauty is eternity staring at itself in the a
mirror, but it is also the mirror"
after a wastrel's life of <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=travel">travel</a> and grad school, i am slowly
coming to grips with the realities of being a grown-up. sometimes,
this is good: i actually enjoy my job and co-workers. i go to
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=concerts">concerts</a> on
school nights. i throw glittering <a class="ilink" href=

their wares, and sleeping under the stars. sometimes this is
terrifying: i am trying to find extra income (or even job security)
in this economy. i am re-learning to drive a car (did i mention the
years of travel?). i am coming to grips with my grandparents'
mortality. i still haven't met the doctor my hmo named as my new
primary care provider.<br />
<br />
nonetheless, i am lucky enough to be accompanied by a merry band of
fellow travelers. perhaps you will be among them.<br />
<br />
i am tart, generous, and goofy
brazilian, descent of an unique mix (as i found from my dna exam):
kazakhstan, native american, and portuguese. intense, and driven. i
love traveling, i have been to many interesting countries, and i
learned that each culture can really provide a new insight into
living. ... i love learning. surfer, guitar player, scientist. i
have two wonderful boys that i see not as often as i wanted.<br />
<br />
photo disclaimer:<br />
don't let this golf playing photo impress you. if it does, don't
call me. i was trying to hit the ball, i hit it really well (so i
was told), but that's really not my cup of tea. but you can get the
idea that i try different things.
let's see ... i am a silly, passionate, live on the skinny
branches, adventurous kind of woman. yup, that sums it up! i laugh
a lot and i tend to tear up a lot too. i guess that would make me
pretty expressive. looking to find the yang to my yin. i am super
independent and autonomous yet am open to the awesome
interdependence that happens when two strong, self sufficient
individuals join forces! but i am a big believer in being present
and seeing where things lead without expectations. i am also
interested in possibly exploring an open relationship so basically
anything goes in my world right now.<br />

i live in an rv that i own and it feels good to own that kind of
property (the townhouse/condo wasn't really my thing). i work in
mountain view and am there a majority of the week, yet the east
bay, specifically oakland is where i like to spend most of my off
time. excited about being back in the bay area. will be in the bay
area until end of september due to my current contract position.
who knows what life will bring after that ... maybe traveling,
maybe another trip, who knows?<br />
<br />
last year was awesome and i traveled a ton. also started a side gig
with a friend, girls gone moto - if your curiosity is piqued, you
can find out more at http://girlsgonemoto.com.<br />
<br />
i prefer we chat in person - whether it is over coffee, a walk, a
good veggie meal, a drink or some fun activity. i'm all about good
conversation and good company so hit me up yeah? (also see "you
should message me if" below)<br />
<br />
big self-summary clue: this song seriously does something to me ...
it captures so touchingly the way i view life and love.

and living in north beach in one of the best cities in the world. i
know there is someone special waiting for me and i'm hoping its
you!
i'm single and don't mind having time to myself, but i enjoy being
around good company and mutual affection, etc. honestly, who
doesn't? i'm not into flings or one night stands, i am a
relationship kind of gal. after dating awhile i know what i am
looking for and i am not going to settle for less.<br />
<br />
i'm very open person so if you want to know something just ask, i
will answer just about anything (with the rare exception).<br />

andy dwyer<br />
bears<br />
boognish<br />
the bear jew<br />
old prospectors<br />
vash the stampede<br />

you should probably say hello if you can pick your spirit animal
out of any of the following -<br />
<br />
wendy o. williams<br />
sylvia brown<br />
lita ford<br />
the wicked witch of the west<br />

creative with lots of ambition and drive. well cultured with a
child-like spirit. passionate about languages, music, dance, good
food and some good old wine. i consider myself to be someone who
appreciates the finer things in life.<br />
i like to play sports, some board games (chess) and music.<br />
always smiling, making witty/sarcastic jokes, and finding humor in
what life has to offer. it lightens the mood. comedy shows and
movies are amazing. i am composed/structured/mature.
out: mustachio.<br />
in: no mustachio.<br />
<br />
someday i'll write a better version of myself here. until
then:<br />
-writing and making sentences<br />
-big on books<br />
-videogames, with buttons to press and knobs to twiddle<br />
-delicious foods that are delicious<br />
-various arts and crafts, like whatever.<br />
-distant sounds<br />
-endless and digressive internet research<br />
<br />
i am unsure what to write, temporarily, and / or foreverly
if the words "poly" or "sex-positive" do not describe you, you may
want to stop reading now. but, a little bit more about me and the
type of guy i'm looking for:<br />
<br />
i'm essentially a simple girl with simple goals that doesn't really
conform to usual female emotional standards. i had more details
here to embellish this point, and back in chicago this mindset was
pretty unique, but not so much in the bay. oh well. i still have
like zero sexual filter and will most likely bring up that topic
sooner than you expect. you have been warned. :-p<br />
<br />
i'm finding that i definitely prefer cute nerdy guys w/ an open ggg
mindset. and for some strange reason, the guys i tend to like the
best are almost all major bourbon lovers (even though i am not) -
strange coincidence, i know. :-d<br />
<br />
*important* (may save both of us some time) - this may not be the
best thing for a place as culturally diverse as the bay area, and
i'm kind of self-limiting my selection of the male species, but i'm
honestly just not attracted to much more than your plain ol'
trendy/nerdy white guys. there are exceptions to the rule, but for
the most part it holds true. so, apologies to all you asians,
indians, hispanics, etc. etc., i realize you're awesome people, but
if the spark of attraction just isn't there, i don't think it's
going to work out, no matter how cool you are. i'm not like some
crazy racist either (have 2 cousins adopted from africa), it's
simply a matter of attraction.
.....original, pure untampered and down sister.........<br />
<br />
so okc is last resort. last resort as in, men, why must you be so
introverted? while i appreciate the gawks and occasional grunts you
throw my way, what i would really love is a "hello, my name is..."
question-why can't you say all the things you will say on here in
person? while i blame society for your passiveness, i thank ( and
yet loathe) dating sites, such as this, i'm willing to go within
your comfort zone, in the hopes that you will provide stimulating
intellect and awesome company.
in a nutshell, im a down to earth, genuine kinda guy who is always
up for meeting other cool peeps. im not much for writing a sales
pitch of myself, but am more than willing to talk your ear off in
answering any questions you ask me.
i'm a nice guy with a pretty sarcastic sense of humor. i'm also
quite shy, but once the ice is broken, i'll talk your ear off. i'm
a bit of a homebody, but i'm usually up for doing something that's
not part of my routine - sometimes even something that seems
completely crazy. i like sports (really big 49er fan), movies, and
warm, sunny days. and there you have it.
looking for a travel partner that is interested in discovering
world cultures, especially in the diaspora. love the water, sailing
and hot hot weather. a beach bum to the core. my children are grown
and i am ready to create again.
in college i occupied that sliver of the venn diagram between
technerd and artfag and i'd like to think that today you'd still
place me there (though the former became my career path for various
pragmatic reasons). i used to race <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=bicycles">bicycles</a> and still ride more than my
friends think is normal. it keeps me fit and sane. i also started
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=rock+climbing">rock
climbing</a> recently and love it. i'm a barely competent <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=unicyclist">unicyclist</a>.<br />
<br />
i am hither, thither, and yon
im a real easy going guy. i like to meet new people, go out and
have fun. i like movies, when im staying in. i live simply and am
very motivated. i'm very athletic and enjoy doing things outdoors.
i like all sports (49ers, sf giants). i also enjoy learning about
different cultures.<br />
<br />
im very open respectful, and a gentleman that knows how to treat
his woman right.<br />
<br />
i've been told im very fun to be around and have people cracking up
all the time. i dont take my self too seriously but im a person
that can be counted on. i'm always down to give a helping
hand.<br />
<br />
im a hard worker. but i also like to give back and do charity
functions as well as give my time to help a good cause.<br />
<br />
anything else you'd like to know? just ask.<br />
<br />
i am motivated, honest, and healthy
independent, outgoing, spontaneous, fun loving, and down to earth!
:)
where to start. i'm a recent bartender (and i'm figuring out there
is a stigma attached to bartenders, which does not pertain to me)
and i'm enjoying the work a lot (this time last year i was an
electrical engineer...so i am much happier now). i've lived around
the bay my whole life and i often dream of leaving, meaning i
travel when i can. and the rest you'll have to figure out yourself.
east bay resident. i work at a butcher shop these days. but do many
other things too. not lonesome, necessarily, but looking for new
friends, or loving.
this sums me up more completely than anything i could ever write:
i want to think of dangerous and noble things. i want to be light
and frolicsome. i want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of
nothing, as though i had wings. -mary oliver<br />
<br />
i just graduated from texas tech and got my ass to san francisco as
fast as i could. i'm a free spirit, a bleeding heart animal and
human rights activist, journalist, and lover of fashion and art. i
tend to attract artistic, free-spirited creative types with kindred
gypsy spirits, and i absolutely crave them in my space. i am in awe
of talented people, and strive for relationships in which we
inspire one another.
i smoke weed, play video games and manage a bead store with my
brother. i hang out with my families french bulldogs. i'm studying
mathematics.
generally fun and easy going, my day isn't complete without at
least a smirk. while always serious enough to work hard for what i
want, i still find it hard to take myself too seriously. certainly
direct at times, but i remain ever sensitive. sincerity and
thoughtfulness drive my actions, but i'm not afraid of a little
controversy.<br />
<br />
making time for the great things in life is important to me:
friends, family, and hopefully you. experience has taught me that i
tend to know at least a little about a lot of things--usually just
enough to get me into trouble.<br />
<br />
these days you'll find me cracking wise and making you <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=laugh">laugh</a>, learning and
developing myself, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=sailing">sailing</a>, spending quality time with
friends, tutoring 4th and 5th graders, trying new things, and
reading, reading, reading--such is the student life.<br />
<br />
yes, yes... just like everyone else, i too enjoy traveling. i've
traveled in the middle east, western europe, a little in eastern
europe, scandinavia, central america, eastern canada, and a good
portion of the good ol' u.s. of a. next on my list is east
asia.<br />
<br />
i promise this is the only mention of rock climbing you'll find in
my entire profile. (not opposed, just haven't done it.)
i am passionate, honest and like to laugh and have fun. i'm a hard
worker who enjoys everything life has to offer. i would like to
meet a fun, optimistic, active, intelligent, down to earth woman
with a great sense of humor, and who shares similar interests.
this is my old profile i don't check it much if you want to see my
new updated profile its <a class="plink" href=
"/profile/7seasscoundrel">7seasscoundrel</a><br />
<br />
well in short i love the grateful dead the outdoors camping music
festivals jam bands video games movies traveling and my friends.
lately however i have just been throwing myself into my work and my
video games kinda just staying home and hibernating for the winter.
i also really like to download entire series of tv shows and watch
them all at once its like a really long movie i love it
i am a female gendered person living in san francisco. that narrows
it down quite a bit. i am not a hipster, rather i am the kind of
person who sleeps in just because and always orders the same thing
at a restaurant. i have been occasionally mistaken for a hipster
because i live in the mission and sometimes wear cowboy boots and
vintage dresses, this is however, not the case.<br />
<br />
i am chaotic neutral. if you know what that means, then you are ok
in my book and are probably not a hipster yourself either.<br />
<br />
i like overwhelming art and performance. i also like magic. i am a
careful and intuitive communicator. enfp all the way.<br />
<br />
i would like to make the disclaimer that my previous and arbitrary
list of facts make it difficult, nae impossible to tell much about
me. i am ok with that. if it helps, and perhaps it might, i will
let you know that i can make ethernet and audio cables, hack you
wireless, and do some other technical magic that most people don't
care to know or know how to do. i was the kid putting my toys
together myself, rather than my parents and then getting bored and
ripping them apart. later i was the teenager on the proto-internet
chatting on bbs's via telnet and later building crappy goth
websites in 1996. (in case you are less nerdy than me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bulletin_board_system)<br />
<br />
i am whimsicle, creative, and insightful
.**.**.**.**.**<br />
happiest when i am outdoors. grew up in utah so that makes me a
skier, hiker, and outdoorsy kinda' girl; add marin to the mix and i
surf and stand up paddle board. self proclaimed yoga junkie.<br />
<br />
stable, professional ready for some fun. brainy and zany! have a
son in college and a daughter in 8th grade. plenty of time to do my
"own thing".<br />
<br />
went to georgetown had a full ride debate scholarship. lived in dc
and worked as a senate page from the time i was 15. later worked on
the hell hill for many years and dislike politics. call myself a
"reformed republican".<br />
<br />
love the left coast but feel that i am very eclectic and well
rounded being from utah and dc. lucky to have traveled the world
and hope to always see what else is out there. i love my country
but think we should see others. have also lived in sedona, bali and
muir beach. i believe life is short and you have to go for the
gusto!
i'm always up for an adventure, large or small, and i have a knack
for finding them. i'm an instigator, a troublemaker, a motivator
and one to persuade you that staying at home on this fine day is a
bad idea. i'm easily amused and rarely bored and generally up for
most things (at least once) as i've found that there's fun to be
had pretty much anywhere. outdoors, indoors, in far flung corners
of the world or in the neighbourhood park. i like adventures in
food, in music, in art and science, and in the random, the bizarre
and the ridiculous. i've travelled a lot and have many, many grand
plans, but i do love the experience that is living in san
francisco.<br />
<br />
i like variety. i'm as happy staying out all night dancing and
sleeping all day as getting up at the crack of dawn to head out on
a trip somewhere. other days it's nice to just chill out, sit
still, and do very little.<br />
<br />
contributing something worthwhile to the world is important to me.
this starts with my personal mission of increasing self-awareness
and trying to live my life as the conscious, honest, positive, and
caring person that i strive to be. helping my friends and other
people around me to be happier is a big driving force for me. and
after i solve that, somehow i'm going to save the world. just as
soon as i work out how....
took me 29 years to realize that life always works out and that
there is no point in fretting or frowning.
i like to have a good time. i'm pretty flexible and can go
anywhere/do anything because i like to mix it up.<br />
i like to spend my money on dining out/drinking with friends and
having a great time, because that's what i like best.
you know what.... i just thought about this.. i am the nicest
person you could hope to meet. i am also bigger than you and your
boyfriend...<br />
<br />
too nice to too many people.. if your question is less than two
lines you wont hear from me.... "hi :)" ***example** be
interesting..<br />
<br />
updated!<br />
<br />
i am looking arond. dont really like the bar scene much any
more.<br />
<br />
i heard about this site from a friend and i am curious. i recently
moved back to the bay after 6 years and i am working as an
automotive technition at a performance shop building engines and
fast cars.<br />
<br />
i am easy going and just looking around for what is out there in
the bay.<br />
<br />
i dont have a particular group or region that i have been molded
by. i have moved around and met all kinds of people all through my
life. lots of great times and plenty of hard times. not too much
can bother me and i havent met many people that i dont get a long
with.<br />
<br />
i love learning about what makes things tik. i dont like to know
something works, i want to know why..<br />
<br />
i like people that give others the benefit of the doubt and dont
just get angry with others. treating strangers harshly is not cool.
kind hearts are great to be around, i only really hate spiders but
i feel bad sometimes after killing them. i have to though i cant
stand them!<br />
<br />
oh and i hate almost all forms of government and organized
religion. not because of what they stand for but what the people up
top have used them for. the manipulation of the masses to obtain
personal weath and power. it so insane what has happed throughout
history and continues today.
a virtuous mind dreams what a wicked man does.
i've already had my share of drama queens. i'm looking for a girl
that is totally available and will enjoy my company and getting
lots of attention from a truly nice guy.<br />
<br />
i am single, sweet, and available
i love traveling, being outside, and being geeky in the most
socially tolerable ways. in search of the right balance between
grown-up serious business and youthful exuberance.<br />
<br />
i'm around here for meeting new people-- i know awesome people are
out there.. show yourselves!
i have lived in sf a little over two years now, and i love it. how
to describe me...i enjoy going out and having fun, and i am always
open to new experiences. two things that i absolutely need in my
life are the gym and food. i love all types of food and enjoy
exploring the city for good restaurants. i'm a firm believer of
work hard, play hard..as cliche as that sounds. i am very motivated
so working hard makes me feel accomplished, and playing hard allows
me to enjoy life, and to take advantage of being young only
once.<br />
<br />
i also enjoy traveling - just finished backpacking in vietnam and
thailand this summer, and can't wait for another trip in the
future.<br />
<br />
enneagram personality type 3, esfj
*my boyfriend and i are looking for like-minded cool cats to play
board games with. i am not looking for "casual encounters" via this
profile. if you are looking for a rad chick to date, sorry, i am
taken. if you are looking for a rad chick and her boyfriend to play
games with, you are in luck.*<br />
<br />
here is a list of some of the games that we own/love:<br />
<br />
-battlestar galactica<br />
-wizwar<br />
-agricola<br />
-cyclades<br />
-7 wonders<br />
-last night on earth<br />
-lords of waterdeep<br />
-ascending empires<br />
-fury of dracula<br />
-puerto rico<br />
-merchants of venus<br />
<br />
we are open to learning new games as well. from this list above you
can see that while we do enjoy the occasional euro game, we
definitely like "americatrash" stuff as well. :)<br />
<br />
while we do both play/dm rpgs, we are looking for a group to play
board games with.
i am a straightforward and easygoing person (at least that's what i
think) who enjoys good friends, beautiful scenery, a good laugh,
being playful and enjoying the crazy road of life. i have lived in
the bay for the past 13 years and still find new and amazing things
about it all the time. when i'm not working or spending time with
friends and family, i volunteer in the community. i am looking to
meet a grown up man who knows what they want, who they are, is
honest, kind, and whose faith is an integral part of his life.
i appreciate good design and fine drinks.<br />
<br />
i'm a one person guidebook, dance machine and calculator.<br />
<br />
i like snakes, elaborate gardens, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=aquariums">aquariums</a>, magazines, <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=libraries">libraries</a>, graffiti, lipstick,
frida kahlo, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=dancing+to+rap%0amusic">dancing to rap music</a> and
color coordination.
i'm pretty easy going. i grew up in the central prairies of canada,
though i was a city boy, i had a fair amount of small-town life
growing up. so, i tend to appreciate the simpler things of life:
i'd rather ride my bike or hike for exercise than hop on a
treadmill. cars are useful now and then, but i love riding the
trains around town. texting has its uses, but i'd rather hear your
voice, or better yet see your eyes crinkle at my lame jokes in
person. i don't really care too much what i am doing, as long as i
am with good people. though, i have a curious mind, and like to
learn about new things and hear new perspectives. i tend to like
music/film/art that is stirring and has a lot of tension to it. on
the flip side, i like my actual life to be pretty drama-free. the
thing i appreciate most is a good conversation: some current events
mixed with pop culture references, sprinkled with some off-colour
humor and the odd moment of revelation... something like that.
a sense of humor always carries the day! i like to think i have a
positive approach to life, and my personality reflects that. i'm
articulate and sometimes witty, yet i still find joy in the simple
pleasures and appreciate life's basic offerings.<br />
<br />
i like to make things and tinker with stuff, and do things just for
the sake of doing them, rather than to save money or use/eat the
finished product.<br />
<br />
i don't keep a budget, nor use an alarm clock, nor shave every day.
my bedroom is littered with tools, bits of wire, and half finished
projects. however, i do shower every day, will hold doors open for
you, and i always say please and thank you.<br />
<br />
lately i've been baking sourdough bread (i have replicated
tartine's country loaf very well), making pizza (inspired by sf's
own pizza hacker), woodworking at the tech shop (i built a jukebox
from scratch), and learning everything there is to know about my
motorcycle.<br />
<br />
i've been fortunate enough to do a bit of traveling lately, and
have been on the road quite a bit in the past 2 years. my last two
trips were 5 weeks in central america (highlight was learning to
scuba dive), and 3 weeks in china. i've also hopped around greece
and the balkans for 2 months, visited alaska to camp and fish, and
driven down to cabo san lucas and back for a bachelor party.
i'll blather on about myself so you get an idea of who i am but i
will keep it short-- i'd rather talk in person.<br />
<br />
i've got both sides of the brains. a little more left (analytical)
than right (in the moment). sometimes neither.<br />
<br />
i am playful at least my dog thinks so.<br />
<br />
overall, i'm a curious person. i've always wondered why... i love
to try to figure out new things and tinker. i am now an expert on
repairing weed wacker carburetors.<br />
<br />
i think doing is more fulfilling than getting. i am not a stuff
person. spending time with people and outdoors is something i find
the most fulfilling in life.
hello there :)<br />
<br />
in a fragment: i am an intellect. with an enormous heart. i'm down
to earth. i'm genuine....and genuinely happy.<br />
<br />
i currently research the cellular mechanisms and biological
pathways that cause aging and age related diseases. i'm doing this
as i apply for a doctorate in nursing. in acute care/trauma. cause
that's where the passion is.<br />
<br />
let's make this a bit more interactive. you're attractive,
brilliant, and successful. you are just my type..but you pass on
by. why?
how are you supposed to start these things?<br />
hi, my name is josiah. i like working, playing, conversing, making
art, riding on a bike instead of in a car (wind on face can't be
beat), watching squirrels or birds play, daydreaming about
inventions ...<br />
<br />
i like to wander around and chat. urban environments are ok, but my
top themes are waterfronts, a ceiling of trees, vistas, and unkempt
areas along streams or train tracks. if a forest is within walking
distance, i'll drift towards it.<br />
<br />
i tend to be kind and gentle. i'm generous and most people consider
me a good friend. i keep a cool head under stress and have immense
amounts of patience. i dislike needless conflict; i make my points
peacefully and am good at de-escalating situations. that said, i
prefer being direct in my communications.<br />
<br />
i don't feel at peace unless i'm spending a chunk of my life
working on some big problem or another. <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=poverty">poverty</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=conflict">conflict</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=resource+depletion">resource depletion</a>, <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=global+warming">global warming</a>, etc.
i'm hoping that the umbrella of <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=sustainable+development">sustainable development</a>
will let me work on all of those issues. anyways, following that
path led me back to school, which has me anchored to the east bay
for another year or two. not sure after that.<br />
<br />
family is quite important to me, but unfortunately they live 1400
miles away. i like playing with my nieces &amp; nephews when i go
home (8-17 yrs). you can see the cabin / playhouse i built for them
on the photos page.<br />
<br />
here is my website: http://josiah.berkeley.edu<br />
<br />
i am fun, creative, and thoughtful
hello! so, about myself... i have been told that i am a very good
listener, compassionate, confident, and witty a person. i also
still have a bit of my ny edgyness, not sure if this is a good
thing or a bad thing yet. i guess i am looking for the right person
who can handle it. message me if you are up for the challenge.
;)<br />
<br />
i currently work in advertising - i can sell ice to a polar bear -
or at least i like to believe i can. i love my job.<br />
<br />
i just moved to san francisco from nyc. i am looking forward to
exploring the west coast and seeing if it really is the best
coast.<br />
<br />
i am really excited that summer is around the corner, i love
hanging in the park, people watching in outdoor cafes, eating
watermelons and strawberries.<br />
<br />
i also love to travel, my favorite places so far have been the
amazon in brazil, machu picchu and athens. the only continents i
haven't set foot on are africa and antarctica. hopefully i can
change that soon, well maybe not antarctica...<br />
<br />
i love sports and pretty much can hold my own when playing or
watching. usually i am a yankee fan, but it really depends on who
is winning (what can i say? i am a poser). we'll have to see if i
become a giants fan.<br />
<br />
what i am looking for: i am looking for someone who is quirky,
silly but also smart and ambitious. i love to be funny so if you
can make me laugh you are in. someone who shares my love to travel
and who likes explore the city. i am looking for someone who
doesn't shy away from the dance floor. and most importantly someone
who i can be myself with.
fiercely independent, passionate about punctuation, up for just
about anything. of the general belief that everything tastes better
when accompanied by truffles or a good story. into people with
interesting stories.<br />
<br />
born in eastern europe, i spent the majority of my years braving
the seasons of southeastern michigan. a recent sf transplant, i've
fallen fast for this city.<br />
<br />
i'm laid back and generally low-maintenance. if $250 dollars fell
into my lap right now, i'd be more likely to do something
experiential with it like take a private cooking class or go to a
tasting than buy a purse or a pair of shoes.<br />
<br />
i'm forward and sarcastic and you have to be able to handle me and
dish it back :d. i can be extremely goofy one minute and totally
focused the next, but i definitely can't sit still. i'm extremely
loyal and i don't believe in revenge or holding grudges (blame the
psychology and communications majors).
i spent my formative years (and then some) in new england, went to
grad school in upstate new york, spent a couple of winters in salt
lake city, and have been living out the twilight of my 20s in the
bay area. hence: i've got an east coast temperament, middle
american values, and a san franciscan's insatiable burrito
craving.<br />
<br />
i'm looking to meet a considerate guy with excellent communication
skills and a sense of humor to join me for urban expeditions,
oysters and beer in point reyes, games of bananagrams, traipsing
through the backcountry, late-night doughnut runs, tv-on-dvd, epic
road trips to states we've never been to, talking about things we
read in the newspaper, kitchen misadventures, and [optional] the
occasional saturday night with garrison keillor.
my name is jeff. i work a lot and don't have time to get out as
often as i would like. i like to eat fast food and i'm pretty handy
with a microwave and a hammer, but don't combine the 2 ;-) other
than that i'm a pretty laid back guy. i work a lot so when i get
home i usually just kick back and relax. and if i have the weekend
off, i try to go to a local bar, or see what some of my friends are
up to.<br />
i like to mix it up between videogames basketball and watching my
netflix oh and going to rubios... cool points if you know what that
place is.
i'm pretty happy in life, i live in this great city, enjoy my job,
enjoy my hobbies, love my friends, etc, etc, etc.<br />
<br />
i have a degree in photo and like
drawing/painting/building/crafting/planning/drafting etc. etc. etc.
pretty big into writing and producing music, if i had a "calling"
deeper than naps it would be songwriting.<br />
<br />
"it's nice to be nice, kim."<br />
<br />
and just to clarify, according to the column on the right, i own
"cats" which isn't true, i own a single one. nobody needs to be
investing in a nest of felines.
in the last 12 months i've lived for 3 in boston, 3 in nyc, 3 in
melbourne, and 3 in sf. i've traveled around the world and can't
wait for more...peru is next, plan is to hike to machu picchu and
see the sun rise for the new year.<br />
<br />
i'm ambitious and endlessly curious, without intellectual
stimulation i feel like i'm wasting away. where some people see
problems, i see challenges with opportunities for creative
solutions.<br />
<br />
i believe that success comes through hard work, and that the
american dream is alive and well (i'm living it).
at work, when i'm bored, i draw wizards on the white boards. they
have wiggly arms and legs, and often shout song lyrics. i think it
makes the office more tolerable.<br />
<br />
i work a lot, but i like relaxing and adventures. i love exploring
san francisco, finding hole-in-the-wall places to sit and think, or
parks to view the city from. sometimes i stay inside with icecream,
minecraft and netflix. sometimes i sit around with friends and play
cards against humanity while smoking hooka.<br />
<br />
i am a geek, sometimes cooking, always delicious. these are all
true facts.
i feel like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7koirjjbn5k" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this</a> pretty much sums me up in a
nutshell.<br />
<br />
if that didn't clear anything up for those non-visual learners out
there, i think it also speaks much to my character if you know that
my longstanding nickname was born after i presented what
<strong>i</strong> believed to be a very sensual dance to a
co-worker.<br />
... since when did looking like a drunk burglar apparently lose
it's sex appeal?
hey, your real mailbox is full but i am a guy that you'd love
to<br />
meet. i am 5'10, athletic, and talented in bed. i love
caressing,<br />
touching, kissing, and certainly know a woman's body. we should
def<br />
get to know each other and get busy. send me your im if you
have<br />
one or the best way to contact you, we can take it from there.
my<br />
email is joespicy@gmail.com.<br />
joe<br />
<br />
my names layna. i'm a sexymaiden that likes girls and guys. i
know<br />
i'm young, but<br />
i've been through a lot of shitty relationships, and i really<br />
just<br />
want to find the right one. i love vampire weekend and would
love<br />
someone to dance with. i like having sex.
i'm down to earth, i don't get jealous, i don't "force the issue",
and i have a huge amount of <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=patience">patience</a>.<br />
<br />
i have a monstrous capacity to <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=love">love</a> and nearly equal appetite for sex.
however, it is important to keep oneself in check concerning the
importance of <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=sex">sex</a>.
it's not the most important thing in the world... really.<br />
<br />
i believe that in order to get what one wants in <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=life">life</a>, they must first be who they are
and then they can <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=honest">honest</a>ly see what their dreams are.
people tend to chase after the dreams that give them the illusion
of being loved. if one does not live honestly, one does not live
the life they are meant to live. just the one they think they
want.<br />
<br />
the reason i am here is to find a lover. someone who has no hang
ups about the <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=poly">poly</a>
thing. it is my hope that i might come across some friends along
the way as well. so, feel free to message me for friendship too.
i've noticed that a lot of people here tend to believe "everyone is
here for love and/or sex". well, i beg to differ. granted i did not
primarily come here for friendship. however, if i were just looking
for just friends this would not be a bad place to start. right now,
i presently have no poly friends and it's not terribly easy to find
poly folk walking down the street. it would be nice to gain a few
like minded friends.<br />
<br />
i am exuberant, yet mello, and unfiltered
my self. i'm a clever gal with a loving, giving spirit! i've made
lots of amazing things happen in my life this past year and
exploring the dating world is the next step. i just want to meet
those wonderful men others keep telling me are still out there! so,
if you think that's you ... and you've got the goods ... i'd love
to meet you! :)
not great at self-summary. so, see below.
i was born the son of poor black sharecroppers.<br />
<br />
i just ate whole jar of black olives by myself. is that awesome or
is that terrible? my tummy says it's awesome.<br />
<br />
i don't have any tattoos. if i did though, i wouldn't puss out, i
would get a real piece of art worth showing.<br />
<br />
i can be quite sarcastic. often times i am very shy, but my friends
tell me in social settings they don't notice it. i think that is
because if i am feeling too shy i head for zee hills rather than
hang out and feel awkward. i have been known to ask the waitress
stupid questions when i am at a restaurant. i should write a book
with a variety of waitress opinions on various subjects.
live in the moment is my motto! i like to keep it by interesting by
never fallin in the well of boring! having lived in la and nyc and
now sf makes totally a city guy (in the best way possible!). i
travel so much that i really get to appreciate the place city when
i am in town! i like balance in life with work,play, party, family,
party. never taking things too seriously and starting each day off
with something goofy.. smile first and worry latter!<br />
<br />
spontaneous is something i like to take advantage. in my free time
there are three passions (say this lightly) is food, music, sports
(playing them more than watchin them), and travelin (nothing better
than lil road trip or quick fly out). rather be out in the sun when
its out in sf then cooped all day in the house!<br />
<br />
i am extremely sarcastic who is never shy to spark a convo and like
being social. huge scotch and whiskey guy and less of a beer
(perfect right no gut ha!). i like all kinds of food but kind of
addicted to sushi and enjoy cookin myself (quite the chef minus the
hat).<br />
<br />
btw not a doc.. just a nickname i had since i had as a kid and i
cannot let it go! gotta dream i guess! :)
*************************************************<br />
if i messaged you, i just want to make friends!<br />
*************************************************
i am a outgoing and easy to get along with person. i can talk to
just about anyone. i like knowing about things and ask questions
when i don't. npr is my life blood and it's an unfortunate day when
i don't listen to fresh air.
i'm a 23 year old film student living in sf.i love to go to movies
and talk about how good or how bad it was.i have not had a long
term relationship in over 1 years so i'm ready to get back in the
game.i am down to earth and easy to get along with.<br />
i am funny, geek.
the world is my backyard and i've been doing my best to explore
every corner of it. i'm comfortable anywhere, whether it's in the
jungle, made of concrete or trees, or on a computer. i program
games for a living so i have to be for the latter. c++ is my lingua
franca.<br />
<br />
i really like dancing, partner and solo. it's dancing like this
that really inspires me in many ways, one being to get better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cehksxolna i've done a little
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=hip%0ahop">hip hop</a>,
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=bachata">bachata</a>, and
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=salsa">salsa</a> and i'd like
to try other style while getting a deeper understanding of the
three mentioned.<br />
<br />
i like to live my life as fully as i can. i can be excited about
basically anything as long as it keeps me mentally and/or
physically active. that's why i love programming, martial arts,
games, traveling, and a whole other ton of stuff.<br />
<br />
i wear my emotions on my sleeve, making me really easy to read.
it's hard to get me angry but i can get pretty heated about stuff i
care about, like my friends.<br />
<br />
what am i? it's hard to say. but what is a man? a miserable little
pile of secrets! but enough talk... have at you!
i don't want to advertise too much who i think i am.........don't
all of our profiles pretty much say the same thing? if we connect,
maybe we can chat and see if there is any chemistry. :-d<br />
<br />
let's see.....i'm not a dumb blonde but i may act like one if it
suits the occasion. i hate wearing make up but i wear it when i
have to and then i have fun with it. i will try almost anything
once. clean and organized and no more neurotic than any other
woman. i like to be spontaneous and i don't want to have to "over
think" my social life. (i do enough of that in my home life)<br />
<br />
i have to admit, i am pretty much a "soccer mom" with a 13 year old
daughter and an 8 year old son, that i am very close to and very
involved with in both their schools and sports teams. i love being
a mother and spending time with my kids. my 14 year old daughter is
actually my best friend! on "my time" i am an artist, i do yoga and
hike with my dogs. i like eating healthy, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle and using a lot of comma's when i write.
this is an interactive profile:<br />
<br />
finish the story<br />
once upon a time there was a sexy brazilian woman and a geeky
american man who fell in love. they had 3 beautiful daughters, the
middle child being the most amazing. they split time between brazil
and the us but chose to raise the lovely girls in the us where they
went on to be very smart and talented. the middle child was an avid
soccer player growing up and loved to draw and travel. she went on
to college to play soccer and study architecture and then decided
her education was best suited for the up and coming field of
renewable energy. plus fighting over oil always pissed her off. the
lovely middle daughter grew into an amazing young lady and enjoys
her work in renewable energy. she thought it would be cool to be a
ninja and really liked their outfits. so she took up martial arts
in the passing five years, an activity she hopes to master. the
lovely lady became an avid lover of adventure who carries a special
place in her heart for extraordinary pursuits, unbounded courage,
unparalleled hard work, and perseverance of spirit. however, she
has always been waiting for her prince charming, so

after.<br />
<br />
the end
i like to think of myself as an omelet wrapped inside a chinese
pancake shell and smothered in wonderful chicken broth. ...sounds
both intriguing, mind-boggling and delicious at the same time no?
and we haven't even gotten to what we cooked the omelet with
yet!<br />
<br />
right, got side-tracked there, let's try this again...<br />
<br />
hi! :)<br />
<br />
i'm a guy who suddenly found himself living in the big city (sf)
after spending so long in his college comfort zone (berkeley) and
to be quite honest i'm still feeling a bit distant from it all.
part of its been down to changing jobs, changing apartments and
moving just that distance away from my friends where seeing them
everyday becomes difficult.<br />
<br />
i'm sure you've been there before, just those first few months of
being really, truly, on your own and just... trying to absorb it
all.<br />
<br />
so scratch the first metaphor.<br />
<br />
i'm a sponge, absorbing the experiences of... life.<br />
<br />
yeah, i like that better.<br />
<br />
though that omelet sounds delicious...
i've lived in san francisco for twenty years, but every day feels
brand new. there are so many things to do and see. new restaurants
and old favorites. i'm most happy when i'm riding around on my
bike, enjoying the sights and sounds. i'm a fiercely loyal friend,
a hard worker, and a positive optimistic life-adventurer. i've had
some amazing travel experiences and my mind is often in far away
places. i have an extremely calm demeanor, but can move like a
cat.<br />
i have never tried online "dating", but a friend said that there
are some really good people on here, so i'm giving it a try.
i can't be quantified with mere words!
love life, adventures, sharing stories.
i am a very active man new to the area. i am interrested in many
outdoor activities such as climbing, running, etc. i just got out
of a long term relationship so i am taking it easy.
i'm a fairly tall, skinny guy. i was born in oakland, raised in
berkeley, and now i'm back in oak. i love playing music, browsing
the internet,<a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=skateboarding">skateboarding</a>, drawing or just
hanging out. i am very easy to please, and i am not offended very
easily. i am pretty social, and i am quicker to look at the good in
people rather than the bad. i am not a religious person at
all.<br />
<br />
i am sincere, knowledgable, and social.
i'm a grammar nut, a music nut, and sometimes just a regular nut.
i'm also allergic to some nuts, so i try to be careful with
that.<br />
<br />
aside from that, i'm a writer, editor, and musician who loves
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=swing+dancing">swing
dancing</a> -- though i'm the first to admit i've got a lot of work
to do on the last.<br />
<br />
i don't know too many good jokes, but i'd like to think my
situational humor is a less-neglected hobby than my lindy
hop.<br />
<br />
i'm from la originally; consider me a happy norcal transplant. i
just finished grad school and moved to san francisco, and i'm
slowly but surely falling in love with this city (even if bart
seats are crusty and smelly and pretty gross most of the time).
recently relocated from chicago for a promotion, i'm just your
basic nice, funny, smart, successful guy who also happens to be a
lot of fun, with a good attitude! i spent my 20s figuring out who i
am and what i wanted to do, my 30s ramping up the career and now i
want to focus on my personal life. internet dating drives me nuts
because my biggest strength is my personality and that is hard to
convey here, but we do what we have to do to improve the odds of
meeting the special someone, right?
i grew up in brooklyn, new york and still have a little bit of an
accent. i went to uc-santa cruz and lived in san francisco for
about four years. i was a psychology major which sometimes explains
things. i am paralegal and been starting doing that and also being
awesome.<br />
i try to be honest and trustworthy (and am pretty successful at it)
and look for that in someone else be it a friend or something more.
i would describe myself as relatively low-maintenance, not
materialistic, funny, sarcastic and loyal.<br />
i like to go out to bars and grab a drink or eat and go to
restaurants and hanging out with friends or seeing a movie. i love
dogs and cats i don't have either but wave at any i see in the
street.<br />
i am looking for new friends and maybe something more.<br />
<br />
i am truthfull, satirical, and cute
when no one's around, i sing jazz, opera, and folk music. i also
sing when there <i>are</i> people around. i do it for the love of
music and song. i also enjoy playing my cello... although that is
more difficult to walk around and play ;-)<br />
<br />
i am a recent graduate with a ba in linguistics and a 'minor' in
music. i wrote a thesis on the differences in japanese speech
between men and women! i work in the theater as a dresser and
costume designer. i highlight periodically as a wig maintainer (for
theater) and a theatrical make-up artist.
i'm student, i work in union square.<br />
i've been in the city for a a little over a year now. i've lived
all around california all of my life, la (a loooong time ago) santa
cruz area and now san francisco. i know oregon and texas pretty
well too. i'm super easygoing, impossible to offend, i make my own
taco shells and i get along well with others. i'm a problem solver
and amateur macguyver.
ummm, not good at writing these kind of things, well, city boy most
of my life, travel a lot, seen and done a lot in life........<br />
<br />
with that said, well, i'm half puertorican, half mexican and all
boricua (for those who know what it means) traveled a lot in my
life, seen most of the us, nothing like traveling, new people, new
things..<br />
<br />
for more, lets chat. later
i'm pretty simple and down to earth. i think the main quest of
living is to get to know yourself and understand what you really
want. to love, to give, to help others and to make your own
contributions to make this world a better place are
essentials.<br />
<br />
after work hours, i usually go to a yoga class, or happy hour with
friends, or dinner or movies. every now and then do volunteer work.
i love going to a concert/ live music, there's something magical
seeing musicians doing their thing. when the weather nice, i go for
a good hike or run. my family and close friends are really
important to me. i am lucky to have them in my life. especially
since i move around quite a bit. i am a soft spoken but warm and
friendly.
alright, let's give this a shot... i am an extremely creative being
and i love to express myself through almost every art form. i look
at the world through a fairly alternative lens and i try my best to
live my life from that alternative perspective (not always
successfully). i am the most me when i create. i love exploring the
intangible and expressing it tangibly.<br />
<br />
i have a pretty dry sense of humor and love to laugh. i laugh a
lot. ultimately, i'm looking for a fun, passionate relationship
with great, easy conversation, extra long glances, subtle smiles,
shared adventure and exploration - something both intellectual and
primal.<br />
<br />
i've recently completed a very amicable divorce and am ready to
begin the new chapter of my life.
i enjoy reading, third wave coffee, attempting handstands,
cackling, hip hop, manners, bearded intellectuals, crossword
puzzles, sunflowers and red wine. i dislike cats, movie theaters,
wearing shoes, mayonnaise, sweets, tardiness and crime drama.<br />
<br />
i am a warm, generous, and fiercely loyal person who does not
suffer fools. i find it easy to laugh at myself and easier to laugh
at other people, but always in good fun.<br />
<br />
i value empathy, intelligence, ambition, self-awareness, and humor
in others.
i'm quirky, artistic, funny, smart, political, sarcastic, a little
edgy, a little kinky, a lot playful.<br />
<br />
i like to hang out in coffee shops, bookstores, macy's, crissy
field, hawk hill, ocean beach, moma, millenium, metreon<br />
<br />
born in toronto have dual citizenship, grew up in new jersey, been
in ca for 30+ yrs. in sf for 25 except for a few years working in
the music biz in la.
lol, this question is the worstest
fun-loving,honest funny italian guy who enjoys the outdoors any
chance i can get! but also loves a good night of cuddling indoors!
very happy with my life and would like to share with someone
special. very serene!<br />
<br />
i am honest, outgoing, and fun!
i spend too much time googling cat pictures and researching my
meyers-briggs personality type (intp).<br />
<br />
also "cat-burglar" was taken. i can spell. i promise.
i'm super amazing. my mom says i'm a catch, and any lady would be
lucky to have me. i suck at filling out dating profiles.
im just a laidback person who likes to have fun but also can stay
home and relax. i love to travel and explore new places and
cultures. i try to be as adventurous as i can be trying new things
at lest once or twice.
single, bilingingual, and ready to mingle ;) ok not really (i am
single and bilingual though) my name is alberto and i am a
physicist. i like meeting people, making friends and having fun no
matter what i'm doing :d<br />
<br />
soooo... i just moved to san francisco for the summer. i like to
have fun, and want to get to know the city! crazy adventures other
people would turn down? if it won't land me in jail with a felony,
count me in :)<br />
<br />
i like dancing. i am a fool for girls who can dance merengue (also
bachata) or just enjoy dancing overall. i enjoy drinking socially
and having house parties.<br />
<br />
i'm originally from venezuela, lived 10 years in miami, and just
moved to california.<br />
<br />
books, music, and movies and documentaries have to be some of my
favorite things to spend time on. people take priority a lot of the
time though :)<br />
<br />
physics and science are my passion but i consider myself well
rounded and like to learn about anything and everything (history,
art, music, philosophy, literature, etc).<br />
<br />
most importantly, i care about others and i am a fool for the
environment.
i was born and raised in the east bay. i am loyal, honest, and
dependable. i like lots of activities and love living life. want to
know more? just ask.
i'm one of the best friends you'll ever have, and i'm working on
being better. world traveller with an insatiable hunger to see more
of it. i write mostly for my own sanity and pleasure. giant food
enthusiast, if it's been on food network i've either been there or
am waiting for someone to go with! i'll eat anything once, and will
never become a vegetarian. i'm losing friends as they graduate and
leave the city, and would love to meet some new people with similar
interests.<br />
<br />
i'm also hilarious.
coffee-fiend, scruffy, loves to cook, into photography, cuddler and
nothing like you'd imagine.<br />
<br />
monogamy is hot.<br />
<br />
looking for dates, friends and something more serious when we find
it.
hi ! actually, i live san francisco, but i'm from france.<br />
<br />
i work in it and i love that ! i'm kind of a nerd.<br />
i also have a tatoo and i had a percing but i removed it.<br />
if you want more information, just send me a message. i don't bite
too strong ! ^^
lets save some time and ill break down some of the things you might
not like about me first -<br />
i'm goofy, energetic, get excited easily, and always everywhere at
once.<br />
i'm short in stature, not always the best with logic, and take very
little seriously when it comes to everything except my
career.<br />
i'm spontaneous, have adhd, and can be the most organized
unorganized person ever.<br />
i tend to over plan some things then forget to plan the
essentials.<br />
my personality is crazy eclectic, and i flip from having the
maturity of a teenager to that of an old man. i love animals more
then people most days, and will stick up for a dog over a human.
(sorry human!)<br />
i tend to talk to everyone at once and play host no matter where i
am.<br />
i am outrageous, a performer at all times, and could care less if i
have an audience or not. i can be annoying....this is something i
know about myself<br />
but, if you can get past my faults -<br />
i'm witty, loving, and try to be exceptional partner in all
aspects.<br />
i'm fun, generous, and can make almost anyone laugh.<br />
i love to do things for people to let them know i care, wont let
anyone be left in the corner, and always stick up for the
underdog.<br />
i'm an adventurist, love to try new things, and i'm always
outgoing. most importantly ill always be loyal to those who i love,
and will sacrifice all that i can to prove it to them.<br />
if i haven't detoured you yet, awesome!
until the aughts, much of my life had been spent moving from town
to city, from sub-sahara, to zoomorphic islands... conquering the
indigenous. i'm constantly compelled to discover new material in
music, art, business, architecture, oh - and food.<br />
<br />
i'm pretty dry - i try to crack as many jokes as i can while
attenuating my seriousness.
i'm a care free, creative, out spoken individual, very serious if
need be but very laid back and spontanous by nature, very ambitious
and a well calculated thinker, very passionate about my beliefs and
fearless in the face of failure and mistakes, i'm not afraid to fly
and fall, dream and believe, love and loss, all i can really
sumarize about me is that i'm me before anything else
looking for someone who can challenge me and make me smile
i'm not one to talk about myself. im pretty introverted with people
i don't know. loud and obnoxious with people i do know.
ask me and you will find out
oh what to say about me. i'm a wonderful fun person. i like to say
i'm an extrovert with a maladaptive skillset. i am a programmer,
and coincidentally a bit of a nerd. i love exploring new things
especially with a good friend. i also recently discovered that i
love downhill skiing.<br />
<br />
i have a thing for retro video games, particularly for the nes and
sega genesis, i know its weird but they're probably just me holding
on to a bit of childhood.<br />
<br />
look i'm weird and a bit out there, i heart science, and rational
discussion. i like ball pits and climbing trees. bash is a shell.
and qed stands for quantum electro dynamics. i think geohashing is
neat, and occasionally i go to random websites and try the konami
code to see if anything happens.<br />
<br />
yes i check my email and catch up on current events before getting
out of bed. no i don't have a pocket protector. oh i love
pastries.<br />
<br />
edit: man i sound like such a nerd, which is i suppose true,
however i'm a pretty rounded person too. i also cook, bike, and
enjoy the occasional backpacking trip. along with other things. i'm
not glued to a computer 24/7 and most of the time i spend with one
is to make things.
i'm happy, active, silly, thoughtful, passionate, artistic, funny,
compassionate, and honest. then, other times, i'm lazy, serious,
forgetful, cynical, scientific and my jokes are not always
brilliant. but i'm always compassionate and honest.<br />
<br />
things i like: dino kale, berkeley public library, ginger beer,
lagunita's ipa, the sound of bart train, pub on solano ave. in
albany, desert essence tea tree oil dental floss, natto (fermented
soy beans), homemade kimchi, sailing on a 13 foot flying
junior.<br />
<br />
things i don't like: left turns, maraschino cherry or cherry
flavor, and young people who do not give up their seats for elders.
i try to live by one of my favorite quotes:<br />
<br />
ring the bells that you can ring<br />
forget your perfect offering<br />
there's a crack in everything,<br />
that's how the light gets in.
i'm social, active, and game for anything that seems fun-
particularly outdoor adventures that may or may not include
exercise. fine dining, fine staring at the ocean, or just fine
holding hands and walking down the street also works for me.<br />
<br />
i'm sharp as a tack, on the move, and quick to grab that perfect
diamond in the rough (be it a piece of furniture that needs some
tlc or anything else that moves me)... i'm happily domestic and
family oriented- i love doing jigsaw puzzles with my 70-yr old aunt
or taking my little niece to the park... i have unparalleled
parallel parking skills... i catch myself dreaming of exotic
destinations, and then go...<br />
<br />
it's hard to beat a napa bikeride followed by wine and good food...
unless it's a day on the slopes, a fire, and snuggling.<br />
<br />
one caveat: i prefer to date men who are taller than i am (even in
heels!). sorry it's just always been important to me.
hi, i'm emma. i dance outside in the dark with two lit cigarettes.
sometimes people see me, but i say fuck it and i dance even more
beautifully. i'm sometimes too honest. i'm sometimes too nice. i'm
sometimes too goofy. i swear around young kids unknowingly. i like
serenity. i get way too anxious, way too easily. i need to calm the
fuck down sometimes. i love rain, nirvana, warm blankets, and
experience. expand my mind.
i like fascinating, passionate, creative people. sports are great,
games are great. climbing a mountain, rocking at a festival,
soccer, coffee, bar - it's all a backdrop to the real fun of being
with good people.<br />
<br />
i like going new places - it's a big world and it's all ours. i
think spending 11 months a year inside the us is about right.<br />
<br />
i love adventures, but i'm also an incredibly big fan of chilling
out in a comfy spot with a book, or a game, movie, music, ice
cream, dreams, whatever. i want variety in a fractal kind of way -
i want variety in how much variety i have - utter chaos
interspersed with simplicity.<br />
<br />
you are an amazing person. you're passionate about something. you
like your life, but we'll be even happier building something
together.<br />
<br />
also, get in touch if you're looking for a travel buddy. i'm
finishing my phd this summer and planning some trips before
starting a new job. probably going to visit friends in london,
amsterdam, zurich, and berlin first, then more in uganda,
bangalore, and beijing, and a conference in japan. other fun places
in between?
i don't like going to bed.<br />
i do like grocery shopping.
strong silent type, not easily excitable with a calm demeanor. not
quite at the mime level, but sign/body language goes a long way
with me. if you can grunt, that may suffice.<br />
<br />
small talk may be overrated, but my one on one conversation skills
aren't lacking and i guarantee to make you laugh. among close
friends, i'm more outgoing and not afraid to make an ass out of
myself (or my friends) for a laugh.<br />
<br />
when in the city, i like to explore the great neighborhoods, live
music, restaurants, coffee(!), bike rides, etc. been here 10 years,
so i'm just getting familiar with street names...seriously, i'm a
visual learner. i can see how to get somewhere in my head but
couldn't write down directions...
i have a pretty conventional lifestyle. i work, drink socially, and
try to call my parents at least once a week. sometimes i repeat
jokes from tv for cheap laughs. i like to play non anti-semitic
sports (table tennis is my favorite--not 'ping pong', that name
demeans the sport).
my friends would describe me as someone who has a wicked sense of
humor, who can have a very profound connection with things that
really matter in life, very playful and someone who knows to listen
with the heart.<br />
<br />
i really believe that life is an intense journey full of fun and
drama at the same time and i love living the paradox fully.<br />
<br />
mis amigos me definirian como alguien con un sentido del humor
alocado, y que a la vez puedo tener una profunda conexion con las
cosas que realmente valen la pena en la vida. alguien jugueton y
que sabe escuchar con el corazon.<br />
<br />
yo creo que la vida es un viaje intenso lleno de alegria y drama a
la misma vez y amo vivir a pleno esta paradoja.<br />
<br />
i am irreverent, curious, and nice smelling
i grew up in san francisco, went to uc berkeley, love yoga, outdoor
activities, trampolines... i bike all over the city and to work
each day. i fantasize about working in a bike shop in colorado,
actually. i also sing in a chorus in san francisco and will be
performing at the 75th anniversary of the golden gate bridge!
i'm here and i'm here hoping to meet a nice woman to date and laugh
with and become friends with and if i am lucky enough i'll meet
that special someone to share with, exclusively, all that life has
to offer.
i grew up playing instruments and singing and now i'm a music major
at uc berkeley. i'm constantly going to shows, playing shows,
recording, and writing music. i like most styles of music as long
as there is genuine creativity resonanting within. i have an avant
garde project that i am getting together but i have a couple
punk/metal/experimental bands that have toured the unites states
and have records currently being finished. hopefully one of them
will come out this year. i think the best way to get to know me is
in person. i'm always looking for new music for my ipod!
i joined this website because i wanted to develop a new dating
website, but something different from all other websites. so i
started joining different dating websites to do more research, but
i ended up liking this website, so thought maybe i should try it
myself, go through the full experience. i mean how else can i make
a better products if i don't know the problems/weaknesses of the
different dating websites.<br />
<br />
i was born and grew up overseas, came to the usa 6 years ago.
graduated from college last year, majoring in computer
science.<br />
<br />
i'm into science, math, politics, and criminal &amp; constitutional
law. i frequently read about all these topics. i love learning
about new things.
i think of myself a compassionate person. i'm looking for someone
who has a good idea of who she is and who has a compatible sense of
humor.
to know me is to love me. i'm energetic, loads of fun, and have a
smart head on my shoulders. i am passionate about life and strive
to make every day a positive experience. i am self-driven and
creative while enjoying myself and the company of my friends. i
love to travel (6 times in the past year) and meet the many
wonderful people along my journey.
i have traveled carryon to 39 countries. china is next!

i am not, eddy, and murphy
so okcupid thinks i am kind, empathetic, and outgoing...and we just
met. i'll take it! married to a fantastic guy whom i've known since
high school, and who actually introduced me to okcupid when we were
both single (check him out - mutterfodder). funny how these things
work out.<br />
<br />
so in the last couple of weeks i have thought about changing this
part of my profile. in my ideal world, people see the photos, then
they read the profile, then maybe they look at the photos again and
decide whether or not to message someone. in my ideal world, my
profile stays positive, doesn't list things for people not to do
when messaging me, and we all live happily ever after. apparently,
we are not living in my ideal world. damn. oh well. here we are.
i'm going to make this easier for all of us. in the first
paragraph, i said i was married. yes. i'm married! so if you are
going to message me and ask if i'm married, you can just read it
here first. how much easier for you and for me. wow, that really
clears things up. now, you want to know why, why, would anyone
married be on this site. i encourage you to actually read the
profile. yes! give it a try. you might like reading. if you don't
like reading, we probably won't get along anyway, and again, so
much easier for us to know that sooner rather than later.<br />
<br />
we are looking for friends - yes, friends. we already have friends.
i already have a husband (no, i'm not looking to cheat on him with
young guys), i know how to have fun, be silly, be serious, be
smart, be smart-ass, dance with or without a lampshade on my head.
but guess what everyone? you can have more! more is good! or as a
wonderful friend of mine says, more is more. want to message me?
keep reading.
about me, in no particular order... i love to travel, i enjoy
cooking. i like to dress up in a skirt and heels, but i'm also
perfectly happy camping in my chacos. my job is pretty awesome. i
also have the world's best mini dachshund, samantha, who has a not
so small problem with tennis balls.<br />
<br />
my family means the world to me and i am a proud aunt with two
adorable nieces. my friends live all over the country and seem to
be migrating to foreign countries lately. i miss them and take
every opportunity to visit... trouble usually ensues. :)<br />
<br />
i'm new to the bay area, i moved here for work. so far i'm liking
it, and am looking forward to exploring all the neat things to do
here in ca.<br />
<br />
obviously i can't write everything here, i tend to write more than
necessary as it is, so i guess you'll have to get in touch to learn
more!
i am an artist and love the outdoors and dogs. i am a naturally
spiritual person . i garden and have fruit trees. i love the earth
and work to keep it nice for the next generations. i am loving and
sweet and also powerful. i like movies and plays and a trip the are
art musium. i like world music and foods. i like an earthy man.
looks not as important as content. drugs and alcohol not
interested.
i just want to meet cool people that are near by. fucking anything
that walks is not my forte.<br />
im strait forward and honest with whats on my mind. you should
always be clear with your intentions. im not lonely or on a hunt
for vag. i dont have any problems with the opposite sex. i just
want to meet someone who i can relate to on several different
levels. this may be surprising to you but its not easy to find a
logical and psychologically stable girl now a days.<br />
<br />
my nick name is j and i'm from oakland. (not the hood though)<br />
aside from music, i study psycho-therapy.. there seems to be an
endless amount of things to learn about the topic and i want to be
one of the people who is in a position to help when the shit hits
the fan. because it will. we are all crazy.<br />
<br />
my main interest is dream and psycho-analysis as well as abnormal
psych. since am training to become a psycho-therapist, i believe we
are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. the energy and
vibes that we emanate are the same vibes and energy we will attract
into our lives. i try to live in the positive and emanate a
positive energy so that the people and circumstances in my life
that i attract are also positive. im very conversational but i
usually listen more then i talk. ive been into art and music since
i was 6.. i like art that is completely obscure and limitless. .i
don't do anything that i dont think is logical. i'm open minded and
i welcome new challenges.i understand human nature and emotion very
clearly. i have taste. i have no need to settle for anything or
anyone. life isn't about settling. i want what i want and not just
something similiar. i want a girl who wont take any shit;<br />
a no bullshit, strait forward personality.<br />
<br />
this section will forever be changing, as i welcome what is to
come. every single thing that happens, happens for a reason; and
all is for the best.<br />
<br />
oh , and i'm good luck too
i recently started working at a law firm in the city. i spend most
of my time on patent litigation, which is painfully boring to some
people but works for me!<br />
<br />
in my free time, i like to bike and play basketball. i'm training
for another triathlon, which is interesting because i swim about as
well as a rock.<br />
<br />
i love comedy, don't really listen to music much because i usually
listen to standup acts or podcasts or things like that, and i love
to read.
i'm italian. i'm discovering the world, living in different places
between italy and unite states making a cool job, very exiting and
challenging.<br />
i like discover things and be free to do what i like to do.<br />
i love learning and speak with new people to know their stories and
feeling differences and similitudes between me and them.<br />
open-minded .. sincere (and expect my partner to be as well)...
dreamer (but hard worker to make dreams real) .. happy about my
life (and ready to change if something doesn't satisfy me anymore)
.. driven by curiosity, looking for challenges.<br />
i love travel and i'm interested in different cultures and ways of
living.<br />
i love sushi and sashimi, thai, indian, mexican, and of course
italian. i love the good wine but i'm little ignorant about
it!<br />
i also love listen music but i'm not that kind of guy that know
everything about it.<br />
i used to have a motorcycles but after an incident i decided to be
more calm and use only the car or the bicycle! ;-)<br />
i have lived in san francisco, turin, milan, rimini, and for few
time also in monaco, london, shanghai, rome, ect..<br />
i'd like to do a lot of things... maybe too much!<br />
i'm not a difficult person, but i don't like losing my time.<br />
i like watching movies and making good conversations<br />
i'm looking for a nice girl, dynamic, intellectual, patient, and
sweet, with small and big dreams and the passion to follow
them.<br />
i'm looking for a partner to share all these experiences!<br />
i want to have fun but i'm also ready for something
important.<br />
<br />
honestly i don't like stay here and have spent so much time to
think and write this words but you know that find cool people
around it's difficult ... we are all busy for 1000 things and work
hard... so let's try, maybe you also have the same feeling, and we
need to pass trough this site to know each other :-)
currently a small business owner and healthcare practitioner,
starting an actual career after years of schooling and living off
of student loans. enjoying the satisfaction of getting paid to help
people feel better, because it's a life that had to be cultivated
over so many years behind books and desks.<br />
<br />
as a result of years behind books and desks, fatness ensued,
because there's a definite love for sweets and dessert. but since
there's no school, nor school-stress, there's no problem running
12-15 miles a week and doing qi gong in front of a lake. and core
exercises.. looots of core exercises. have dropped 35 pounds (!)
since graduation in december, and plan to keep losing it at a slow
and healthy pace. still loving desserts though!<br />
<br />
polyamorous. expecting to find more friends than lovers from okc,
but perhaps that's the way it should be. not looking for drama, nor
dishonesty, because you will find neither here.<br />
<br />
happily vegetarian, and not looking to convert nor judge, so it
doesn't matter if you happen to be or not. it does make sharing
food and kissing much easier though!<br />
<br />
tl;dr? than you should simply move on. it isn't often when
verbosity comes, but if it does, it's good when you can listen.
a few adjectives in no particular order: sunny, optimistic,
unconventional, complex, accommodating, caring, fun-loving,
sincere, goofy (at times), trustworthy, adaptable, insightful,
sensitive, intuitive, open-minded, playful, stimulating,
chameleonic, inquisitive, capable, well-educated (ok, that's more
than a few adjectives!).<br />

i grew up in the washington dc area and moved to ca 20 years ago.
have a broad range of interests: nature and the outdoors, travel
and culture, sociology, photography, museums and history, science
to politics, art, architecture and design, current events. love
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=motorcycles">motorcycles</a>
(have 4) and hate traffic so ride on two wheels rain or shine. love
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=bicycles">bicycles</a> too but
haven't been riding enough lately (have 4 including a road
tandem--bonus points if you'd like to ride with me!). love dogs,
especially larger ones, and miss my sweet old lab but also enjoy
not having the responsibility of a pet just now, plus my house is
empty most of the time so the pup wouldn't be too happy.<br />
<br />
oh, and i like run-on sentences and the parenthetical... :-)
some find me that girl who seems to have thought to much for
herself. others seem to think i didn't think enough. when really
i'm the girl that you never see coming with what i have to say or
do. i would call myself ahead of the curve, in thought. my
strongest ability is creation, either by writing or a mean of
making music, most recently i'm pursuing acting.<br />
<br />
i really want to go out there and test my limits. i want to rock
climb, bungie jump, and sky dive. i really want to experience not
the everyday, because the everyday can be so mundane and routine
driven. it's fun to make a change.<br />
<br />
lately i've been deeply contemplating what i'd like to do ten years
from now, there's alot out there such as being a doctor, lawyer, or
even helping to change the world. many settle for what's easy but i
want to take it further.<br />
<br />

hello! i am no longer in art school in san francisco. i live in
another state and teach english in another country.<br />
<br />
but i'm moving back soon. thank you, florida, for the fun times
during my boomeranging.<br />
<br />
i am x, y, and z.
i am not a pacifist, yet i choose to practice peace in every
moment. i am not religious or atheistic, yet i feel a spirit with
many names is present in all existence...i call it love. i am not
unshakable, yet i stand very well and deeply rooted. i am not
perfect, and have no need to be, yet i strive to create and inspire
greatness in this world. i am not wealthy, yet i lead a rich and
fulfilling life everyday. i am here, now...and i intend to make the
best of it.
i grew up on the east coast, went to college in denver and kept
heading west. have travelled extensively in the u.s., lived in
various cool places like sedona, nyc and steamboat, and a couple
crappy ones like south carolina and phoenix. hopefully i'm
balancing my east-coast sarcastic with my west-coast chill. since i
moved to this area 11 years ago i've started a vintage car repair
and restoration shop that keeps growing quickly, and is always
challenging, fun and exciting.
i'm an outgoing and caring guy, who is looking for someone i can
share great experiences with.<br />
<br />
no matter what i'm doing, i like to live it up; whether it's being
outdoors (skiing, golfing, fishing, camping, hiking, going out on
the town etc.) or being with family and friends. i want to find
someone who shares the same interests and loves trying new
things.<br />
<br />
i'm a very driven person as far as my career is concerned, but i
don't let work get in the way of my personal life.<br />
<br />
my ideal match would be a girl who's fun loving and can be
spontaneous at times.
ask me!
new york transplant falling in love with the west coast. also: tech
nerd, runner, skier, guitar novice, explorer, bullfighter, and man
about town.
going where the universe directs me.
i am an easy going girl who knows exactly what she wants.<br />
<br />
i am open mind and am looking for someone who agrees perfectly with
me.<br />
<br />
i love to laugh, but only when it is not time to be serious.<br />
<br />
i might have some contradictions. :)<br />
<br />
here is more information about me: i like good design. i like
friends. i like being alone. i like turtles. i like driving fast. i
like mass transit. i like sunny days. i like rainy days. i like
snow. i like good food. i like cheap food. i like to have fun. i
like work.<br />
<br />
i am who am i, and is that not the most important thing to be?
i never know what to write it these things, i feel like it's really
hard to describe yourself:<br />
<br />
im complicated, but who isn't? i love doing random things, going
out, discussing celebrities, current events, future plans. i am
extremely down to earth and enjoy meeting intellectual
people.<br />
<br />
i enjoy doing almost anything, and love doing new things.<br />
<br />
i am addicting, friendly, and open
i'm a native san franciscan and have been living in the east bay
for a few years now. can't imagine living in a landlocked state -
love the water, mountains and want to spend more time with
each.<br />
<br />
i love music. i frequently go to shows/performances - with or
without accompaniment, don't care if i'm by myself. i love to sing
in private and wish i had the balls to sing in public. i want to
learn a musical instrument.<br />
<br />
i love cute. i love kids &amp; babies, and all furry four-legged
critters and will stop to pet every dog that i see. also love cute
overload. but i draw the line at hello kitty cute because i am not
10.<br />
<br />
i love comedy and nerds. i especially love funny nerds. comedians
of comedy anyone?
the short version of my story is that i just moved into sf after
living in the east coast and australia for study etc. i am so happy
to be back and settled down for once! i love traveling but
sometimes it's exhausting moving around so much. i am planning on
staying here for a while. maybe forever but i like to leave loop
holes in my life plans. ^.^<br />
<br />
i love traveling, beautiful architecture, meeting people, exploring
different cultures and trying new foods. i enjoy dancing, singing,
driving with no destination, and making sure that i live life
without regrets.<br />
in every encounter i have, i say that i will always try anything at
least once. i think i have lived by this pretty well so far.<br />
<br />
i kind of have two names. my first name is lauren, my middle name
is miya (). it is japanese and some of my friends call me
this.<br />
i reply to both.
*i am currently in deep monogamous love.<br />
<br />
if you find your interests similar to mine, let's be friends!<br />
<br />
new to the city as of march, 2010.<br />
<br />
i love my life intensely and deeply.<br />
<br />
i have lots of amazing friends and family.<br />
<br />
i take self-education very seriously.<br />
<br />
i run a lot. love long-distance. it fixes everything.<br />
<br />
i soak up information like a sponge.<br />
<br />
and spew it out at random points of conversation.<br />
<br />
i speak very openly about everything.<br />
<br />
i often wear dresses, curls, and glitter.<br />
<br />
aside from wanting to test out the dating scene here in the city, i
am also interested in expanding my social circle.<br />
<br />
i am outgoing, spontaneous, and giggly
i'm driven by curiosity &amp; explorations which sometimes takes me
on madcap adventurous, usually exciting, sometimes dangerous.<br />
<br />
"what's behind that door that says do not enter?" or "what if...?"
are two of my favorite questions to answer?<br />
<br />
i'm a free spirit... love living in the moment, but i also love to
work hard and play harder. yes! i'm rarely bored.<br />
<br />
my world view is rooted in my happy-go-lucky-everything-will-work
attitude towards most things, because it mostly does. that's not to
say i'm laid back; i'm actually goal oriented and have taken on
creative projects which have found commercial success.<br />
<br />
i could take the easy way out and reduce myself to a list of
adjectives. mine would probably include eclectic, creative,
ambitious, driven and fearless. add generous, genuine, present and
thoughtful and you start to get closer to who i am. but still these
adjectives don't even come close to painting the full picture.
i am more and more realizing that i probably shouldn't seek some
kind of relationship right now since my all consuming hatred for
the living grows stronger each day. i mean, i made the effort to
get out there and in the end i feel that making this attempt to
find some female companion in any capacity will only throw gasoline
on the bonfire that is my anger. i guess i will look at this site
occasionally and i will respond if i receive a message but i think
at the moment my thirst for vengeance and the destruction of all
that is material is far too great to quell. anyway, if you really
want to know i'm a college student making next to nothing. i am a
heterosexual male and yes i do find sex appealing but i have a near
violent aversion to it due to a previous relationship and i view
all who can enjoy carnal pleasures with bitter contempt and
jealously. i bear similar feelings towards those who hold hands in
public. it's not their fault, i am just angry and bitter. i am
often described as morose and an amazing orson welles look alike.
it's been nearly a year and i am still not over my ex girlfriend.
it was with her that my ability to trust another human being died.
i have since mastered the ability to appear like i trust someone
without actually needing to rely on anyone. people tell me i am
very nice... i din't believe them.
things i like: cooking/baking for friends, reading (fiction,
magazines, newspapers), exploring san francisco, traveling, trivia
night, animals, games (board, card, online), margaritas/mexican
food, live music, and spending time with my family and friends ...
i think as long as you're with fun people, it doesn't really matter
what you're doing. and i inherited my dad's interest in football -
i mostly watch pro because their games are usually on sunday, but i
like to catch college games, too.<br />
<br />
about me: i grew up in montana, in a very, very rural area (100
miles to the nearest wal-mart!). my parents still farm and ranch
there, and i try to go home and visit a couple times a year. i went
to a fancy private college on the east coast, and the culture shock
was, to put it mildly, immense - but i got a great education! i
studied history &amp; literature (american), focusing on women's
writing, native american history, the "frontier," autobiography,
popular culture, protest/radicalism ... okay, maybe "focus" isn't
the right verb.<br />
<br />
boston wasn't really my kind of place, and i was excited to head
west again after graduation. i worked back in montana for a couple
years before moving to california in 2010. i love the bay area and,
honestly, i might never leave : ) i've made great friends here, and
the weather makes me really, really happy (most of the time).<br />
<br />
i think i'm a pretty laid-back, easygoing person. i try not to take
things too seriously - don't sweat the small stuff, right? i have
kind of a dry, sarcastic sense of humor (occasionally bordering on
caustic, or so i'm told), and i always try to find the humor in
every situation.
i've been told to have a sincere smile, gorgeous eyes, and a warm
heart. my hair goes both ways; straight or curly. i'm smart, witty,
happy, driven, well educated, athletic, and to the point. i'm an
intense listener and contributor. i will tell you how i feel with
no holds barred. i accept others points of view and never force my
opinion on others.<br />
<br />
i do not rely on others to get things done for me. i am very
independent and can fix things on my own.<br />
<br />
i'm not martha stewart, but i can cook! i thank all the women in my
life for these skills.<br />
<br />
i am a sports fan, maybe even a bit more than you! ok, maybe not.
but, i am a very big baseball fan and follow the season from
beginning to end. lets go mets (and giants)! ha ha.. no smart
remarks about the team that i love.....all i ask of the man i date
is to not disappoint me like they have! ;)<br />
<br />
oh and the j-e-t-s, jets, jets, jets made an awesome run this year!
if you haven't figured it out by now, i grew up on the east coast,
in a small state near ny, called new jersey.
i aim to live in the moment, be present, find humor on a daily
basis, be kind, give the benefit over the doubt, and connect. i
come from a big family, some of whom live overseas. love to travel
for the adventure, for the newness, reminds me of what is important
in life, and keeps me curious.
first of all, these little descriptions of ourselves drive me
absolutely batty. i feel that i could enter dozens of different
descriptions, each one completely different yet also completely
accurate in describing who i am. it is very hard to pinpoint who i
am, i feel that i lack a defined definition.<br />
with that said....<br />
lately my general life philosophy is try to find the beauty and
good in everything, especially in the small things. appreciate
every moment and just let the hard ones roll off you.<br />
try to have fun, i can manage to in almost any situation. i do not
take life too seriously and just try to enjoy as it much as
possible.<br />
i am big on chasing every dream you can. far too often we limit
ourselves on what we think we can achieve and i firmly believe you
can accomplish anything you set your mind to if you are motivated
enough and don't back down or compromise yourself.<br />
i embrace being out of my element or comfort zone, it is there you
can really find out who you are. i especially feel this when
traveling or meeting new people and thoroughly enjoy it.<br />
i love to cook, spend time outdoors, play with my dog, roam about
in the city, have lengthy intellectual conversation that may or not
lead to anything important and go on adventures with no real
destination.
out going, open-minded, curious, adventurous traveler always
looking to try new things and see new places. love watching and
playing sports, outdoor activities, and riding my motorcycle.
looking for someone to ride with me to explore the unbeaten path
i honestly enjoy what i do. someone once described computer science
as "ecstatic creation", and i agree. it doesn't replace my other
interests, but i'm pretty happy doing it 40+ hours a week.<br />
<br />
i do believe in work-life balance though, and try to maintain
hobbies away from a keyboard. i like hosting dinner parties for my
friends, biking up hills, and staying up late playing guitar in my
bedroom. i dearly miss rowing and being out on the water. i still
read books.<br />
<br />
personality-wise, i'm a motivated, self-aware person. i try not to
be a perfectionist, but i do have high standards for myself. i have
an easy smile though, and i'm optimistic about life in general. i
think i'm a good listener; sometimes i play the role of armchair
psychotherapist for my friends, and in turn i'm an open
communicator too.<br />
<br />
i'm a transplant to the bay area from the east coast. i consciously
made an effort to come out to california after undergrad because i
needed a change of pace, and so far i'm loving it.
it's always awkward providing a self summary, partially because i
cant write well enough to describe myself and because i'm not sure
how much a paragraph can actually describe someone. i'm laid back,
self sufficient, coming up in the world, and looking for some fun.
ask me whatever you want i'm not shy and i'm not worried bout being
judged so i'll show u wut i am.<br />
<br />
i am the, one, and only.
i think i should start with the fact that this is the first online
profile i've ever filled out. well, with the exception of the about
me section on facebook. i've never ventured into the online dating
world and actually consider filling this profile out as "putting
myself out there".<br />
<br />
i find talking about myself rather difficult, so here goes.<br />
<br />
my last name is a variation of the latin word veritas, which means
truth. i try to live up to that. i'm an honest person and have even
been accused of being too honest.<br />
<br />
i believe in karma. i'm a big believer and live accordingly. there
are a lot of benefits to good karma, but good parking is
epic.<br />
<br />
i love the sunshine! i just don't do well in the cold! i used to
wish i lived somewhere where it snowed on christmas...not anymore.
flip flops and a tank top on christmas are fine with me. i'm a
loyal, casual, funny, caring girl...turnoffs include men with no
drive, needy men, a man without a sense of humor, disrespectful,
liars...<br />
<br />
i live in the community where i grew up and i love it! i've never
moved too far from the bay and i consider myself lucky to have
access to all that the bay area offers us! my siblings are all in
the area and i have a lot of long time friends in the area who i
also consider family.<br />
<br />
i'm really attracted to tall, laid back guys who are handy. i'm not
saying strictly blue collar or anything, but for me, there is
nothing sexier than a manly man! i guess i'm sort of traditional
when it comes to dating, i'm not one to ask a guy out (doesn't mean
i don't wish i could) so don't be shy fellas! a recent experience
made me realize i need to add something here...i believe men should
be somewhat chivalrous and i'm talking basic stuff, like maybe
pumping gas for me, or helping to carry in groceries.<br />
<br />
did i leave anything out? is there something you're really curious
about? i'm pretty open so just ask.
hello. my name is matt and i'm a motivated, interesting, neurotic
overachiever who works too much. nice to meet you.
i am a happy, fully-lived guy looking to share experiences with
another man. i am looking forward to moving past one-nighters and
beginning a healthy relationship. if we find that there is mutual
interest on here, we can meet for a low-pressure lunch and/or
coffee somewhere and get to know more about each other. if there is
a match, great, if not, at least we have made a new friend. i am
trying to look deeper than my superficial wants
(*cough*clean-shaven, stocky, handsome, furry*cough*) and
don't-wants (*cough*facial hair, shaved-bodies, piercings*cough*),
but i know that those still might be significant factors. rather
than list personal qualities i am looking for (*cough*confidence,
maturity, sense of humor, adventurous*cough*), i would rather
kick-back, relax, and let you and i discover those qualities for
ourselves.<br />
<br />
"i am adventurous, thoughtful, and enigmatic" according to my caf
gratitude profile. +1 points if you know the place. ;-)
-have been in the bay area for 15 years, but only recently moved to
sf proper.<br />
-i've been described by others as funny, intense, sarcastic and a
great friend.<br />
-"if you don't drink and don't smoke you'll be healthy when you
croak" (russian proverb).<br />
-music is my addiction. having grown up on classic rock, i now
gravitate towards less main-stream things. i also think lps are
great! (its those things that spin like cds do, only there's no
lasers, and the music is read by a needle riding through these
little grooves in them. its neat!)<br />
-getting lost in sf is exciting - you see the coolest things!
hey there, thanks for stopping by! i'm a fun-loving, smart,
down-to-earth girl looking for the same in a special someone. i'm
trying out this online dating thing because it seems like all the
cool kids are doing it...prove me right?
hi, i'm matt, but friends call me matthew.unfortunately my
nickname misses the wow factor. i'm someone who likes to have fun
and try new things. i love new foods and finding the secret little
hole in the wall restaurants. my favorite new find is this yogurt
joint that is located in an optometrist office. strange, huh? they
make the best lychee froyo with a selective offering of
mochi!<br />
<br />
my friends think i'm humorous and i sometimes laugh at my own
jokes. i want to meet that special someone who also has a great
laugh and love of food.<br />
<br />
i am goofy, funny, and creative
mixed euro-latino guy here. born and raised in sf. i'm pretty much
a mellow down to earth guy...i try my best to stay away and avoid
drama and people who play games. i can be a dork and like to laugh
and joke around, and enjoy people who are the same and can make me
smile.<br />
<br />
i like to eat out. have my favorite japanese, thai, chinese food
spots but am still into exploring new spots and foods. i like to
travel even though i dont get around to it much with work schedule
but enjoy being in the outdoors hiking. not really into the whole
gay scene but will go out occasionally to bar/club.
i'm on a lifelong search for the most apt phrases.<br />
<br />
i'm also between mustaches again.
briefly (for now), i'm a creative, dependable, non-judgmental,
happy guy....intelligent and travel the world with
ease.....passionate, versatile, adventuresome,
uninhibited......definitely ltr oriented and keeping my eyes open
for a natural, sexy, uninhibited guy, with soft heart &amp; sharp
mind and with a good level of self esteem.....prefer carry-on
baggage only.....no large steamer-trunks, please........ a
preference for an intimate connection ....... (syd feb-apr/12)
jaded and naive while learning more about the world and how i fit
in it.
i'm just an english fella who likes to have a little fun and to
meet nice people. i guess my friends would say that i'm a bit of
'lovable odd ball'. entertaining, witty, and sharp as a banana.
..don't know. ..i make friends easily i guess (which is surprising
because i'm a cheeky lil' monkey!).<br />
<br />
i'd like to meet someone special.. .you know, someone who you feel
like you've known for years. it's a tall order for a fish out of
water like myself, but i'll stick at it.. .it'll happen.!<br />
<br />
.. .my facial topiary often changes! :d~
i am down-to-earth, kind, funny and not overly impressed by
materialism. i believe that work should be meaningful and there
should be some quality play time in one's life. i enjoy the
outdoors, but have a variety of interests. most importantly, i'm
willing to learn, compromise, and be a part of an intimate,
romantic relationship.
for those of you wanting the cliff notes: i'm a lover of love,
truth, beauty, adventure, song, robin hood, a good laugh, and
shoes. :-)<br />
<br />
for everyone else: i am one part city girl, and at least one part
country. smart. funny. warm. down to earth. thoughtful. eternally
curious. big hearted. saucy.<br />
<br />
i have a reverence for the natural world, truth, beauty, humor,
courage and compassion. admiration for anyone with the ability to
think outside the box. a love of music, the arts, good stories,
water, most things physical (which i owe in part to my tomboy
roots), food, photography, cooking, camping, travel and more....and
the lovely, funny, smart, big-hearted and sometimes quirky friends
and family in my life.<br />
<br />
i'm gainfully employed, and trying to do right by the planet,
people, and me. it is an imperfect effort but interesting,
satisfying and fun most of the time!<br />
<br />
i think one of secrets to happiness is the ability to savor simple
pleasures, and i'm pretty good at this.<br />
<br />
i'm here in pursuit of a relationship of substance. some of what
floats my boat in a man: 44-55ish, healthy, fit, sharp mind,
youthful, sense of humor, glass half full outlook, comfortable in
your skin, passions and pursuits of your own, a belief in the
golden rule, a man of integrity, good communicator and listener,
straight shooter, sensual, strong body, and a big heart. :-)
i'll try anything once. also keep in mind i'm 41 years old and
don't have time for stupidity.<br />
<br />
i grew up in a household full of men. they thought me never to buy
into bullshit and never give it. i'm not afraid to speak my
mind.<br />
<br />
i've only been on okc for a short amount of time. lately, i've been
receiving messages from creepy, lewd men on here. if it continues,
i might have to delete this account and go find a date the old
fashion way.
young clean cut professional guy seeking same. enjoy jogging along
the water/gg bridge, movies, all sorts of music, books, great
conversations about important and non-important topics, travel
outside of us, and generally just enjoy life. very upbeat and
spontaneous but am also very well grounded.
