Man. 45 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.
Looking for: woman. In age: 42-52
I am an east bay native, grew up in Rockridge and have lived in the area my whole life. I've been to Europe a few times and like to travel to other places too.I am looking for a relationship with a woman around my age, someone that perhaps is also a parent like me. I want to find someone that understands both love and respect and how to treat others decently. I am a trustworthy and straightforward person, but my humor can be sarcastic too. I am very liberal politically and hope to find someone that shares my values.I am a mechanical engineer, work with HVAC and solar. I have designed building systems for everything from hospitals, schools, high end residential, breweries, high tech, laboratories, etc. I got my degree at Cal Poly and I love my job and career. I did "Mr. Mom" for a number of years when my girls were young and I had my own consulting business during that time. However today I have a great job with a local firm here in the east bay. On several occasions, I've visited my girls' school to teach at their classes about science and solar energy. This is one of the most rewarding things I've gotten to do; seeing the young students engaged is awesome. I volunteer a lot with my engineering society; I was formerly the president of our local chapter. My philanthropy with this group includes both leadership and advocacy roles. I am driven to make a difference.I am very passionate about these aspects of my life, but I do play hard too :-) When I am not doing the engineering thing, I enjoy indy/garage rock music, craft beer, traveling, and most importantly, parenting and being with my two girls. I love R.E.M.;little broken hearts". I've been fortunate to have met several musicians from some of these bands, they are so cool. I don't know how to play any *** I aspire to learn how to play guitar someday.I love to cook too.Finally, I must explain that if I contact you with an introduction, it's because I would like to learn more about you and perhaps meet. It means I am interested. But my message won't be very long. I can do the "old fashion" thing here to a degree. I can be charming but only if I know you are receptive. We either need to meet or chat before I can pour it on. So please reply if you are interested. I need to have that feedback before I can be charming. I am pretty open, A good first date could be meeting on a weekend morning for coffee, lunch, or a drink after work. During that first date I would look forward to learning more about what makes you tick and determine if we have interests and values in common. I am a good judge of character and can usually quckly know if I am on the same wavelength with another person.

Man. 43 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.
Looking for: woman. In age: 40-50
Second time around.I have a very intense job ...and I thrive on that. When I get away from the office I want to enjoy with a special someone...but not willing to settle for someone who wants to completely "shut down" logic. I love to debate issues and consider nothing to be taboo ground. Being able to argue abortion rights in between a round of darts to me is enjoyable.I am seeking a strong willed woman who is not afraid/ ashamed to have their own opinion and be willing to stand up for it. I am looking for an intellectual equal, or superior, with a sense of humor as warped as mine. If I sound bitter I dont mean to be...I enjoy being frivolous and doing things others would consider asinine. Truely I am just tired of a dating scene where people meet by only seeing the "; of a person versus the reality of who they are daily. I love watching all sports and listening to all types of music, though rock, country and 80s are my favorites, I enjoy checking out new places to drink and dine,new local music talent and going to festivals.This might be the worst profile opener ya ever see on here...but want to be blatantly honest. If I am not the type person you are looking for please move on...and happy fishing. If ya are still reading:I tend to leave my head and heart both on my sleeve. Sorry not very good at hiding what I am feeling-and do not feel that is a bad thing (er most of the time that is :) )! I am a bit of a romantic but havent been with a lady in awhile that excites that part of me- whether them or me is to blame I cant say- just know I miss it. Looking for a partner in life...whether traveling or just going to the local pub, festival or sitting on the couch.- both tend to infuriate rather than infatuate)and someone adaptable in social situations- (We all have known/ know the person who wears holed sneakers to a wedding or dresses to the nines for a hayride!). Looking for a woman just as comfortable in her jeans as she is in a dress. I am a strong believer in there must be a physical attraction as well as an intellectual one...On that front: I am most attracted to athletic body types- A "few extra pounds" is the way of life for us over ***and still attractive!!!)...but do not consider 40 or more pounds "a few". I have just started getting back in shape myself and looking for new fun ways to lose a few pounds or reshape what I have.I have left huge gaps in there of course but have been told my "description" was much like me...long winded! (Hey... ya have to laugh at your own short comings.)! So if any questions ask. I am open to constructive criticism on my profile .It is constantly "under construction" If my profile piques an interest please send me a message. Good luck in your search on here and...Maybe talk with you soon. A sports bar or a festival seems to be a good neutral venue to be able to chat...If things dont mesh you can still not waste the night by having to flee somewhere else...plus leaves umpteen outs if someone needs to run away screaming!!! lmao (not that I have had to do that often ;) .
