San Leandro's Local Dating Service

Alright, well I may not be tall, dark and handsome, but I am tall, and if I spend some time in the sun, I could say I'm dark too :). As for the handsome bit, that's where you come in. If you think I'm adequately decent, send a message my way :)

***12/09: Recent changes in an existing relationship have completely eaten up my available time. Probably not really available for much at all serious for a while. I'll let you know if I come up for air at any point in the future...

1/10: Yup, still pretty busy. New office space almost all done, including fresh no-VOC non-toxic paint! Do you need an occasional East Bay Healing office?? or are you interested in coaching with me? Contact me and we can talk...

Hope things are being great in your life!

A self-defining declaration
(a little bit of who I am mixed with a little bit of who I'd like to be)

I am strong, emotionally and physically. I am capable of many things, and my determination carries me places I want to go. I enjoy intellectual pursuits and using my mind to solve puzzles and investigate questions. I am an explorer and researcher, interested in finding new ways of being, and in understanding myself and the world around me (especially people). I value beauty and comfort, and take time to enjoy sensual pleasures as well.

I am passionate, and I use that passion to accomplish things in the world, and to further understanding and justice for myself and those around me, especially those who might be less able to effect change for themselves yet. I am a leader, helping myself and others to accomplish the tasks and goals we identify for ourselves.

I am compassionate, kind, and a good listener. Other people value what I have to say, and the work that I do. This value can take the form of words, money, and/or other tangible or intangible rewards. I am good with words, and take pleasure in writing, speaking, and communicating my thoughts and feelings, and helping others to do the same.

I am committed to creating family, extended family, and community. I have an amazing amount of love in my life, and I take time to appreciate it and enjoy it. I believe the capacity of the heart to love is infinite, and the forms love can take are limited only by my imagination. I enjoy spending time with my daughter, partners, and other family members, doing things that we all enjoy, as well as accomplishing tasks necessary for the running of our household(s) and lives.

I strive to accept my body as it is, even while I also work to honor it and treat it well through good foods and movement. I enjoy expressing my creativity through the clothes that I wear. I also enjoy music and dance, and find ways to express my creativity there, and through many other avenues.

NOTE: I am married but currently separated from my husband of 19 years. We co-parent and our lives are still--and therefore may always be--intertwined. We're re-evaluating and changing many things about our relationship at the moment. It is a time of great flux and change for me.

I have been married for many years. I have two wonderful kids. My wife came out as bisexual several years ago and wants to act on her desires. We have opened our relationship up to trying a poly lifestyle. I am a fairly open minded person. I am fairly liberal in my views and very spiritual. I like learning about and experiencing all religions. Looking for female friends and maybe more. Looking for someone in a similar situation or folks who are poly-curious as well.

I grew up in both San Leandro and Alameda California. I am very much a Toys R Us kid! I love me some toys. ^_^ I am very big on cartoons and anime. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and meeting new people on ocassion just as long as it doesn't cause drama. I like to see people happy and enjoy making them smile and laugh even when it's at my own expense. I also enjoy going out to movies or concerts on ocassion. I am into most everything so it doesn't matter who or what I go to see. I also enjoy drawing in my free time, I usually draw cartoony things or anime. Music is my first love anything from Alternative Rock, Metal, Goth, Industrial, Punk, Ambient, Techno, Electronic, Trance, Rave,Dance, Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, Indie, Punk, Foreign, Pop, Rap, J-Pop, and Comedy songs.

A I M & Y I M: Satangelical

Oh and FYI! I am not on here trying to find a boyfriend or a "booty call" So please if thats the only thing your interested in save your breath. I am looking to make friends only!(And yes I do realize being friends might lead to something but that is different.)

I like music more than movies. conversation over empty sex.
Exercise is for people who need it. I'd like a reason to be in shape. I'd like a reason to stay sober I am not an ordinary thinker and it ends up being funny. It feels good to be awake.
I quit smoking about eight years ago and I'm trying to get in shape. I love life more than an understanding or explanation of the unknown. I am easily entertained.

I'm a geek, and I can prove it. Recently lost a girlfriend, but seemed to have gained a muse in the process. Been working very hard on my music demo, and I'm interested in meeting other musicians (specially singers) to collaborate with. I have an obession with Anime, and am a self taught 3D animator. If you like the arty type, I'm your man. Love to cook, make a killer expresso, latte, capucchino. I appreciate intelligent people, have a natural aversion to stupid people. I have been doing cross-platform computer consulting since 1997. My company is well established here in the Bay Area, and I'm trying to grow it again. Tried to grow during the end of the "dot bomb" era, with tragic results. This time I'm taking the growth process very slowly and making sure that I have the incoming business to support growing. I work with 4 of the Bay Area Apple Stores, and I'm hoping we are poised at the edge of success. I have a few pet film projects I've been working on for many years now, including a powerful and controversial documentary I'm in the process of finding funding to do. I am a 420 MMJ activist type so if you are offended by that, we shouldn't even bother. Divorced, with a daughter that lives with mom in Folsom, CA. Single after 20 years in 2 relationships, so I'm very new to being a bachelor. Please be gentle. I'm 6'0" in decent shape for my age, strong of back, and not afraid to do heavy work. I have a fetish for clean laundry. Oh, and a few other fetishes as well hehe...

I'll try to answer these, but hopefully I'm more interesting than these answers seem. :) I'm a BBW looking for the best in life. I think I've found some but always willing to look for more. I was born in LA, raised in NYC, and now I'm here in the Bay Area. I enjoy my quiet time but am trying to get more active. I like movies, music, dancing (most recently ballroom), celtic/irish stuff, humor, games, and unfortunately TV. I identify as Pagan but am not as active as I'd like. I am poly and happily living with my boyfriend of 6 years. I've been more active lately in looking to date others but I prefer just to see how things go naturally. All in all, my life is pretty good but there is room for improvement, which I'm working on.

Software engineer; resident of the San Francisco Bay Area; father of twins; collector of many, many things; owner of a canary; etc. I am interested in email-only relationships only at this point.

According to them: Your self-summary in one or more languages is too short. A self-summary is required if (1) you've turned on user content in that language or (2) you'd like to answer other questions in that language. Write a couple paragraphs all about you; it's an open-ended essay, so the more, the better.

Yeah, whatever.

Hi! I haven't written an essay yet because I joined OkCupid very recently. This space is where I'll express myself soon though. If you'd like to know more about me, please send me a message. This is the default essay OkCupid fills in for new users who haven't written about themselves yet.

I'm an affiliate marketing manager by day, a blogger & social media butterfly by night. Lately this hasn't given me a lot of time to myself or to just enjoy life, as I've been hustling to keep up with some good content on my blogs and trying to gain some recognition within my industry. I enjoy comedic movies (not always the BEST, but I like them), watching marathons on TV of educational programming (i.e. Discovery Channel, History Channel, Food Network, etc), photography (I'm more into it than your average person, but I haven't had the attention span to learn manual settings yet, if that gives you an idea of my skill set), crafts, reading non-fiction books (topics generally involve forensics, paranormal stuff like ghosts, serial killers - yes I'm weird), swimming for recreation, taking walks in interesting places with my camera, playing both video games & board games. I used to be an avid camping enthusiast but haven't been in years.

I basically just like to relax and have a great time with whoever I'm hanging out with. I'm laid back so I'm not into intense extreme sports or high levels of activity, but good conversation is always welcome. I'm pretty intelligent, if I don't say so myself, so I try to associate with people who can keep up intelligent conversation.

I enjoy trying new things. I love to sing and listen to music. I have a beautiful vista blue Mustang. I'm Italian and Irish. I like to watch and play sports. Computers and anything related to them are one of my greatest passions. I love The Golden Girls as well.

Yes I'm a nerd, and proud of it too. I love to learn new things all the time. I'm also very independent. I love talking to people. I have a great sense of humor. I love to make people laugh. My friends consider me the "old soul," it's quite amusing due to the fact that I am the youngest of our group.

I am a member of the San Francisco Zoo me and a guest get in for free :). I try and go often. No zoos are not just for kids. I've had some pretty exciting experiences at the zoo. To date my favorite was when one of the gorillas threw a clod of dirt at me and the people around me. It was a direct hit on me. :)

I just added a web cam to my collection of electronic goodies so that I can make faces at my friends online. But I'll happily make faces at anyone if you ask nicely.

I'm also addicted to tv and I love my Tivo HD. It up scales everything to 1080i. Never again do I have to watch standard definition...what more could a girl ask for? The joy of HD sighs happily.

The way I view myself is that I'am an interesting and fun person as soon as you get to know me. At first I can be shy but as we get to know eachother more I become more open and less shy. Another thing you should know about me is that I can speak both English and Spanish. One thing I really enjoy doing is watching movies both on dvd and on the movie theaters. Hopefully this gives you a clue of who I'am. So don't be shy and drop by to say hi!!

I am an outgoing woman who loves to laugh and have a great time. I love to talk, think of new ideas and have fun with my friends and family. I am hoping to find someone who could keep the conversation going or at least interesting. I like to try new and old things. I love art, music, comedy and learning about the world we live in. I truely believe in making this life the best possible while we are here and loving and appreciating the people in your life. I am a busy mom who has a career and is looking for someone that has their own life but has some room for me. There is a whole bunch more about me that I may not even know but I'm sure if we got to know eachother you would learn for yourself first hand about the wonders of Tami.

Hmmmmmm.... I believe that life is not only to be lived! but also needs to be celebrated.I enjoy,danceing,workingout,watching or playing sports,fine dinning,love seafood,traveling,If your interested please feel free to contact me.Im open to love,and am looking for my equal!!

I am 37 yrs.old...I live in san leandro.. I'm a true scorpio.. I like to think of me as a very good person with a big heart...I,m funny, open, honest, loyal,adventorous... I'll try anything once within reason... I'm looking for someone to kick it with and have a good time with possibilities of a relationship.. I love to take walks on the beach, and i also love watchin the sunrise and sunsets with that special friend

Well lets see, I usually hate talking about myself. So to tell you a little about myself, I am a Mexican-American who often gets confused for other nationalities. Why?? I have no idea. But I love being with my friends and my close-knit family. I usually find myself being the big clown in the group, and have no shame making a fool of myself. This often leads to some moments being the loud one also; but don't get me wrong, I know when to tone it down. I guess it because of growing up in a Latin family all my life. Have you tried to have a holiday dinner with a bunch of other loud mouths talking over one another??

But what is a big part of who I am is my disability. Looking at me you wouldn't think that I am disabled. Some people are put off by that because they don't understand or don't want to deal with it. If you are one of those people, please stop reading right now and click on another page. But if you still don't care, I am epileptic. There are hundreds of people diagnosed with it, but I am lucky to have contained my seizures with medicine within the last year. I have goals that I want to attain, and I don't let my seizures get in the way. Though they have taken me a little longer to strive for, I still get there just like everyone else.

So...who besides me thinks that self descriptions are possibly self-deceptive or misleading? No one? Anyone? Right.

I dislike describing myself since I don't want to come off as an arrogant ass, or as a wimp with little to no self-esteem. Anyways, I suppose the first impression I tend to give people is that I'm smart, polite, soft spoken- something about being self-absorbed and needing glasses ;D

I aim at being understanding, compassionate, giving, at being a good person pretty much. However when I get bored I freely indulge in irony and sarcasm and say things I don't mean just to play around with people. That or I shun the world. Boredom does funny things to me

Who I appear to be varies depending on the person I'm relating to. You can make up your own mind.

I'm a Marine just back from deployement, looking to restart my life. Open to new people and ideas. Furthuremore I'm a smug asshole seeking a reason to change.

I enjoy writing, reading, cooking and gaming. I'm a geek of many colors. I have an appreciation for (but not necessarily extensive knowledge of) all things geeky including Star Wars, Star Trek, Magic the Gathering, comic books (of many varying publishers), science fiction, fantasy, MMO's, etc. I'm terminally friendly, and love to laugh.

I would like to do more activities (outside of working), so that's why I'm here. I need more friends to talk to, laugh at and to bring me on some adventures with them. I'm abysmally self-conscious and even though I'm fundamentally an extrovert, I need to be brought out of my shell initially.

I was born in Fremont California, have traveled a little in my teens and early 20's. I have a 18 month old at this point. I am into outside the box type things.. such as BDSM, Polyamory, and most important I am a pegan. I can be very social when I get to know people. I have very little time being as I am a full time mom. If have more questions feel free to ask.

I am a singer by trade, training and passion. I am as comfortable on stage with a mic in my hand as most people are on their couch in there night clothes (Overcoming shyness has never been an issue for me)
Other things I enjoy...Hmmm
Well, Sharing time with my family and friends of course, cooking, reading, being creative (crochet, making candles, bath beads/salts and incense etc.) and traveling.
I also love learning about...Well most anything I guess. Everything from DIY home and auto repair to photography and computers and the like...
Basically, anything that keeps me thinking!!!

Ahh sheet i hate filling these damn things out, oh well =) I pretty much am a brother of 4 others and one kick ass mom haha Heavy metal is very much a large part of my life and sharing it with family and friends is equally important to me. Hrmm i enjoy video games like most men. I'm a very deep person and very passionate about tons of things holy crap lol Space, science, animals, random arguments debating the true size of clifford the dog and tons of other things. Im the biggest cuddlebug and love fantasy movies if you couldn't have guessed by now. star wars Lotr and such and cant forget disney movies either lol. well i could keep going on and on so ill just finish the rest =)

Exploring what I want to be when I grow up and realizing that I'm already grown!

So apparently I now have "OkStalkers" and I feel like I might have been disappointing them with nothing written in my profile except the Meow-mix commercial jingle lyrics...

Lets see if I can do a little better.

I sometimes think of myself as your first car. Kinda beat up but got you where you needed to go.
I am a very weird person to describe.
I can be a pain in the ass to predict.

I love to watch T.V, I'm a product of T.V. I loved rich little I secretly wish I could do impersonations, laugh in, south park...you get the idea? I love comedies whether it be classic or new.

I love music and can really listen to pretty much anything.

I think I'm a work in progress.

Also, I have 10-20 tattoo's depending on how you count them my fingers are tattooed "hard work"is that 8? or 1?
I have 7 piercings in my ears, 4 in the left and 3 in the right.

let me list some of the things i like:

cheesy poofs
i love oldies50's music and singing along especially elvisi get told we sound alike when i sing his songs. i think people are just being nice though
one handed wheelies on my bicycle
rollerskating
my Ben Davis jacketshave at least 4
hats(of all kinds)my favorite was my propeller hat someone stole
shoes, i have around 15 pairsmostly lugz
riding my motorcycle
flirting
listening to my music full blastturned way up
making mixed cd's(with anything from punjabi rap to heavy metal)
working(i have had some sort of job since i was 8 years old)
cooking(but usually not eating my own cooking)
watching reruns of old t.v. shows like barney miller
better stop now. i just realized this can get to be a really long list.

I put that i am bi, it just means that I have been with men before, and am not afraid of alternate lifestyles. sorry not trying to be offensive. just tired of answering that question.

can't believe i had to use theses instead of these( ) because okc wants me to to get 90% completion on my profile. and it didn't even work. BASTARDS!

From My Facebook Profile:
I'm currently studyin at Las Positas Community College working on my transfer to SF State. Basketball is my life and i love comedy.
I like cars, music, Photography.

Hey, this is Beverly Lynn. Before I tell you about me you should know that I'm not into nsa or fwb, so if that's what you're looking for then move one because I'm not the girl you want. Iâ??m 25 from San Leandro, CA. Iâ??m 5â??4â??, 250lbs. My ethnic background is White, Portuguese and Native American. I have hazel-green eyes and long light brown hair. I am very passionate, I love to cuddle and I'm a big fan or pda(within reason).I am completely addicted to kissing! I love music, listening to it and dancing (well trying to dance) to it. I love movies, I love going out to the movies or just staying in and cuddling on the couch. I like playing games; board games, card games, and intellectual games as well. Lately Iâ??ve been playing this game called 6*, where you link two actors together thru 6 movies or less. Iâ??m actually pretty good at it. Apples to Apples, Dirty Minds, I've Never...

A college-dropout turned college student again, with a love for music, the outdoors, video games and thought. I just can't seem to stop trying new things. It's not too conducive to 'getting ahead in life' in the traditional sense, but I'm not terribly concerned about that right now. I tend to have trouble in social situations, but am trying my best to get over it and get out and talk to people. Not just random strangers, but at least trying to avoid awkward silences with friends-of-friends and other acquaintances.

I'm currently attempting to use the money made from Djing to start a cheesecake business, I love to bake, not so much with the cooking though. I like playing sports more than watching them, and the only thing I can watch on a regular basis is Formula 1 racing, yes this means I like my car, but I don't treat it like a delicate flower that no one can touch except myself, if you know how to drive a manual, I'll happily hand over the keys. There are many more interests in my life, but I won't list them all here, but the most important one for me is that I am a skeptical atheist, not skeptical like cynical, I live by Carl Sagan's mantra, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," which explains the atheism.

Hey so i am your normal 26 year old male that just finished school so trying to enjoy life a little and make up for lost time. If you want to know anything else it's usually worth a shot to just ask.

I figured it was about time I updated my profile.

Taking a break from school. i need to make some money before i go back. next year hopefully i can get a scholarship for the little bit of native american i have in me. but we will see.

Im all about having Fun! I try my best to make every situation fun. (try mind you)

When im not working im most likly at some kind of practice, have it be a musical/play rehearsal, soccer practice, or band practice.

YUP i love Acting and Singing. My place in the world is on a stage, Either playing Guitar or singing and dancing... or acting in some dramatic play...

How do i describe myself in the shortest way possible.... cause im pretty lazy... I am really random. You will probally find that out if you message me (HINT HINT MESSAGE ME... DONT BE SCURRED)
I like to try everything. um ya i dance when things get awkward. which makes thing more awkward... people call me the king of awkward... yup

There are othere little tidbits of knowledge that you will just have to figure out yourself by messaging me. i love to talk! its... fun.

I am a journalist. News is my passion. In my tribe of friends, I've been the stone -- solid and grounded. I don't have any kids but I love the many nephews and nieces I've adopted in my life. I work hard and find time to play.

I recently moved back to the bay area from Las Vegas and look forward to meeting interesting people. Family means the world to me and pets are considered to be extended family. I am easy going, spontaneous and have a sometimes twisted sense of humor.

Well I am a 36 year old former Marine. I have brown eyes and a medium build. Though these days it is starting to get larger. I have been around the world and love traveling though I haven't gone anywhere lately. Hopefully that will change one day soon. I like hanging out with friends and family. I have a little apartment in San Leandro about a mile from my work.

Hey wassup everyone. I'm 18 and living life to the fullest right now. Right now I'm just looking for a little fun, possible a relationship. Anyways hit me up I`d love to talk.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area.
I went to school here, including college.

Hey everyone my name is Davey. I'm currently living the dream as a Preschool Teacher and loving going to work everyday. I am a pretty active guy. I like to do things like fishing, paintball, golfing and those sorts of things. I hope to meet some awesome new people in the near future. I love to cook and I love treating people to some great food! I wouldn't consider myself a foodie but i love to try new restaurants. My view of food is if its a cuisine to someone then I should at least try it. Sometimes my friends and I check out the East Bay Express website and go to the restaurant that is on the front page. I love to go to baseball games (Go A's!!) grab some nachos, a drink and yell until my throat hurts...then I yell some more!

I love to dance and go to the beach. I like to get manicures and pedicures. Sometimes I get massages, I used to be a massage therapist. I like to watch Forensic Files, The First Forty-Eight and Intervention and Rehab Party and the Hard Rock-lol. I love old movies especially Gone With The Wind and Breakfast at Tiffanies. I am Christian and I love to read. I work at a bar and have 4 tatoos. I love mermaids, boats, swimming and the beach again. I spend a lot of time with my grandparents and visiting with friends. I love to travel.I love my family and am a very loving person.

What in the world are you supposed to write in these things? How can I fit my personality in a box? I'm usually someone who has a plan, who likes to be prepared for any situation, but I'm expanding on my spontaneity. I'm a kid at heart and like to find the fun in everything I do. I'm talkative, hyper but also have a profession, serious side...and I can't have caffeine in the afternoon or I'll be bouncing off the walls all night, call it the gremlin rule ;o)

I am a fun person to be with ...i am outgoing and active but i can also relax ..i am sexy romantic and trustworthy looking for someone i click with. A man with a sense of humor and he does not sweat the small stuff, he is handsome tall and race not an issue. He is honest and looking for something real down the line

I'm a purveyor of smiles and laughter. Goofy dogs ... yes, please. Bathroom humor ... bring it on!

I like to downplay life's inconveniences and pursue what makes me happy while being considerate of others.

Say Cheese (^_^)

I am a bit shy at first but easily warm with a bit of charming/playful conversation. I am analytical and do sometimes over think things, but I have no problem laughing at myself for it. Compassionate, loving, amusing, sarcastic, sometimes adventurous and a bit too honest. I love people watching, cooking, throwing dinner parties, laughing until I snort (yes that sometimes happens), midcentury modern design, a well made cocktail, House music, Beastie Boys, sublime, Acapella (Sweet Honey In the Rock), well really just most good music and banana pancakes. I'm lookin for a best friend that I can't keep my hands off, a man who is emotionally mature, self-aware, knows what he wants, is funny (even a little dorky). Kinda have a thing for tall men, big ears and dark hair, but i am an equal opportunity gal.

Hi everyone im Peter James i am 19 ijust moved out to California about a year and a half ago i am curently working at my paint store in san leandro and just living day to day life

I have a painting drying on my easel, and another waiting nearby to be worked on. I have a new stew recipe in the slow cooker incorporating beef and veggies from the farmer's market. I have two cats, both off napping, and I am jealous of their naps. I am avoiding work for my freelance design clients, but I know I'll make the deadline -- I usually do.

I don't drive but I live close to really good coffee, sushi, boba tea and delivery pizza, so it doesn't seem like a bad thing most days. I love my computer and my solitude, but I also enjoy a good board game, rpg or just hanging out and talking over a meal or a drink. I am particular about grammar and the people who use it. I am not afraid to be alone, I like who I am, but I like finding new things to do and be, too.

Hey there. Just a regular guy in San Leandro looking to meet new friends and new etc. Looking for other guys who can handle both going out and staying home kinds of activities. If you think you can handle it! HA!

I am attractive, spontaneous, and compassionate a true diamond in the rough(so I'm told) who appreciates an intelligent, financially secure man. I'm usually happy, but when I'm unhappy I tend to get a little grouchy (which is very rare). I have an vibrant personality and love being in a long term relationship. Respect and honesty are extremely important in nurturing and maintaining a healthy relationship. I will lose respect if you do something untrustworthy and then it will be difficult for you to regain my respect.

Being a talented, creative creature I'm very versatile. Taking on tasks as roofing, flooring and laying cement.(Bet you never imagine that by my pic huh!!). FYI my dad is a carpenter and taught me how to swing a hammer.
I'm also witty, intelligent, romantic with a youthful spirit and fun loving nature. I love dressing up with my loved one beside me, and am comfortable going "casual".

A few of many interests are concerts under the stars or a cozy night at home watching a movie. My true passion is the coast. Whether it be a picnic in the warm sun and sand, or a night rendezvous with a bottle of champagne and a blanket near the bonfire. I enjoy fine dinning and dancing as well as a B.B.Q.

I'm looking for a high energy man who can spoil me, surprise me, and love me. A man that enjoys the finer joys of life and wants a loving woman to enjoy them with him. Of course that would be me!!

My family and friends are very important to my life. Let's not forget my dog. She's a shar pei. I love life and try to live it to the fullest.

Im black, white, italian, french and puerto rican. Im a scorpio. My favorite color is red. I have a nice body. Im from Virginia. And im an all around nice person. I also ask questions alot. My past girlfriends used to hate it but its not my fault. i just wanna know things. sometimes theyre serious questions and sometimes theyre just questions that come to me out of nowhere. but questions lead to conversation so to me thats a good thing.

too much to describe in a few short words, but i'll try: politics, sustainable living, community building, networking, social media neophyte, research, study, history, social activism, polyamory, relationship coaching, furry creatures, planetary citizen, global consciousness, spirituality, channelling, lightworker, transformation, personal growth, great sex, aging wisely, adventures, chronic illness, nutrition, sf, vampires, intuitive, empath, highly sensitive person, compassion for all, ammachi, love as a verb, community service, connecting, heart-centered soul expression, married happily, health, fitness for recovering from chronic illness, chronic illness advocacy, invisible disability activism, creativity, writing, poetry, erotic poetry, triads, beginning tantra student, breathwork, eft, tat, energy healing modalities, comparative religions, extraterrestrials, the Powers That Be, bilderburg, 9/11 activism, 9/11 accountability, political activism, pro-peace, sustainable future, smart ecology, love

I'm easy going and laid back. For the most part I try not to take things to seriously and I like to enjoy the little things whenever possible (I know it sounds lame to me too but seriously it makes for a happier existence).
I love laughing and I try to do it as much as possible.
I'm a huge fan of most things sci-fi and geek related although I'm fairly tech illiterate.
I'm a California native and grew up much further north in a small town. I love living in the bay area but I do enjoy my visits home and being in nature.

You know, I had filled these out tres pithily. They were great. But okcupid didn't like my enigmatic one-liners and denied my update because my self-summary was too short. I was annoyed. It seemed to go through after I clicked impatiently on 'submit' a few times and filled the box with spacebar. But then it hadn't. Well, try, try again.

I am just getting out of a 4 year relationship and I am just looking to date right now. I enjoy hanging out with friends and going out for dinner and drinks. I have two young children and I work full time, so I have no time or patience for drama and liars.

Basic stats:
Height - 5'9
Eyes - Blue
Hair - Dark Brown
Partially heavyset, 'big' what have you. I'm healthy :)

im what would some call a 'geek' in the sense that i spend my free time on my computer, playing video games, watching movies, hanging out with friends, things like that.
I am pretty family oriented, i have a good relationship with my parents and my sister.

I am particularly easy to get a hold of, i always have my phone with me, and i use aim, and yahoo.
AIM - theandroid02
YAHOO - jakezamira

I'm usually spontaneous with plans and adventures. I love the outdoors and everything about it. I Like to explore new places and people watch/meet, go to festivals ,farmers markets,garage sales, crab feeds, etc. Totally like to garden and work in the yard. dancing is cool

I'm not looking for a pen-pal. Maybe a couple of e-mails,but then the phone takes over.please.

I have a specific type of woman I'm looking for. You may be a bit opposite of me or closely the same. It's totally about chemistry. Really ...
Also....
don't be shy,i am at first but i get over it.

***Go away she's mine. Snooze you lose!***

Hi! I'm Mika. Honestly I don't know why I signed up for this site (again!). Maybe outta boredom, or maybe its cause I'd really like to go out and meet someone super awesome. Who knows? I know I don't. HA ha. Well i guess I'll start off by first saying that I am a single mother of a 1 year old son. So if you have a problem with children, than you'd probably should stop reading.

I am a fun loving free spirit looking to discover new experiences and ride the waves of life. I love to laugh and have a good time. No pic posted because good things come to those who wait, and if your interested you wont be dissapointed trust me. People always think I'm a "high maintenance" kind of chick because I love clothes and can't live without my high heels. But really I'm just a down-to-earth kinda woman who loves to look good. Looking for a friend who's not afraid to discover the possibilites and have a good time.

Akien MacIain, Secret Agent Of Happiness...

Let's start with I'm Polyamorous. I have taught classes on polyamory and related concepts. I've been on TV, including Montel, to talk about poly. This is just who I am.

I'd eventually like to live once again in a triad or a quad. Wouldn't matter if it was an MFM or an FMF, if it's the right person. For now, while we're looking, I'm happily involved in a primary relationship with the lovely <<klrmn>>. We're both poly through and through. We both also date individually.

Still reading? Good. If you aren't, then we're better off not connecting anyway. *grin*

For me, touch is an art form. Touching someone emotionally, physically, whatever. Reaching into the emotional resonance, the energy of the connection, that is where I find delight. Massage, sensation play, energy play or healing, you name it.

Cooking is very similar. It's an expressive art. When I use recipes, which isn't most of the time, they're starting places. Trying to create an emotional reaction with the food, of surprise or delight, that is why I cook.

Photography is an ongoing expressive exploration too. I want to be able to show my sweeties how *I* see them. So often we don't see ourselves as others see us. I see myself as a picture hunter, not a studio photographer. I have to stalk the image. *grin*

When I write, it's either to communicate emotional models, like feelings about something, or information that may make something work better. Making other people wrong does not appeal to me.

Dancing is a meditation in motion, skydiving and freefall flying in the wind tunnel in union city too... I also love time with my kids, calligraphy, writing poetry, teaching and practicing swordfighting, Faire, SciFi, Reading...

But my favorite things are exploring touch, and exploring ideas. Thinking. Things I like to think about include intimacy, love, sex, relationships, psychology, cognition, neurology, neurochemistry, computer science, software architecture, personal growth, and how all these things are related.

I very much jump into new things in order to learn them. Challenges at work, new relationships, a new hobby, whatever. I am completely self educated, and love learning. I am an alpha male. I am dominant without being domineering. I value playfulness highly. I am strong and resilient, emotionally and physically. My Meyers-Briggs type is ENFP.

To pay the bills, I am designing test automation software architecture for Delta Dental.

I also have high standards. I will make touching you an art, I will share deeply, I will even share my very hot sweetie with you, I will write you poetry, I will cook amazing things... *IF*... If *you* are smart. Strong. Independent. Playful. Not stuck in your comfort zone. Willing to be challenged, to be supported in the challenge, and to do the same for me/us. If you are seeking new and shared experiences. Wanting to connect with emotional depth. Have a large appetite for pleasure of many kinds. If you are a blend of feminine and masculine. Willing to say and hear no gracefully. I am all these things. You need to be too.

Right now I'm looking for connections I can include in my life, willing to spend time with me, <<klrmn>> and my daughters. If you spend time on IM, even better. I like being able to reach out and touch briefly throughout the day.

I love exploring myself and the world... And maybe you. Let me tempt you... Explore with me, or with us, if you're up for it...

For boys: As I said I'm very selective. I prefer slender, gentle, slightly subby men, who are good at energy play, are emotionally open, and can support themselves financially and so on. Androgyny is good. *grin* I historically warm to men slowly. Mostly right now, I'm not interested in just a boyfriend, but rather to create a triad with <<klrmn>>. Just because we want a hot bi babe doesn't mean they have to be female. *grin*

Ideal first date
We go get tea or drinks, maybe lunch... Something casual, playful. See if we are good material for friends. If we click, and you're lucky, I cook for you. We talk more over dinner, then go for a walk in the twilight.

When I was a kid, I had this obsession with Sonic The Hedgehog. I use to call my friend Marvin on the phone, and we would play Sonic 3 for a few hours. This was before the days of the internet, so I didn't really have any other major communication with my friends without seeing them in person. Either way, I got so good at that game that I could get super sonic by level 3 and blast right through the rest in 20 minutes. We used to do the same thing with Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past as well, but I never got as good at that game as I did with Sonic 3. I did manage to beat LTTP with a score of 0 though. Kind of makes me feel bad ass in the retro zone.

Ebay is awesome. I used to never trust Ebay, but once I started using it, I got hooked. I love selling stuff. At work, I use my printer to print shipping labels, and I get unlimited ink, so it really works out in my favor. I recently sold the first issue of this one magazine (finally got rid of all these magazines laying around), and it went for a nice sum. I thought about doing the whole Ebay store at one point in time, but I don't really acquire that much inventory, so it wouldn't really be profitable to me.

Just looking to have some fun and blow off some steam here. I love to play, and I know how to please ... ;)

I am just an honest, sincere, hopeless romantic guy looking for someone compatable to spend quality time with. I pride myself in being a gentleman. I am very energic. Love to jog and walk daily with my dog, Lyla, who helps take care of me. I live close to the Marina where I spend time with my dog. I like movies (romance, romantic comedy's, and mystery are my favorites). I enjoy sports to watch and attend. Baseball is my favorite, been a lifelong Giants fan. Raised in SF, moved to San Leandro in 1978. My most proud accomplishment in my life is that I was the caregiver for my mother and kept her out of a rest home. (I learned the meaning of patience). She passed away more than a year ago. I had to learn how to cook and take care of a home. I like to cook for my lady, romantic candle light diner by the fire palce and a good DVD movie is a good time for me. Doesn't take much to make me happy.MY INTEREST ARE DANCING.WATCHING MOVIES.LISTING TO MUSIC.READING.WALKING.AND WRITING NOVELS.

I'm a LA native who recently moved to the Bay Area for a change of scenery. I am still adjusting to this new environment and looking to explore the town. What is there to do here?

I would like to consider myself as a modern day Superhero. **Yay, I know it sounds chessy.*** Now, let me explain: I don't have any superpowers, but.....

I am quite handy with tools and if we were stranded on a remote island, I can probably built shelter. Also, I'm quite good at interpreting the female psychology. Growing up with 5 sisters, I've learned how to read the unspoken words women don't say.

By day, I'm disguised as a suit and tie Clark Kent who works diligently to achieve the needs of corporate America. During the evening, I am different. I am still well-mannered, however my true self comes out. I am edgy, a thrill-seeker, adventurous, and speak my mind. I would call it like I see it, Unpolished like 10 year old dress shoes.

During this time, I enjoy frolicking the town and finding new things to do. I enjoy discovering new restaurants, hikes, new friends and expose them to something they have never experienced, ME. On my spare time, I am role model for children without parents in a foster home. I play the big brother role and I teach them how to be respectable people.

In Addition, I am trying to save the world one bag at a time. I am currently launching a new business venture to help environment. Instead of throwing aways plastic bags we usually get from the supermarket, I am selling biodegradable bags and other similar products to reduce waste. I think since we are here sharing the planet, why not keep it clean and preserve it for our future generations.

About me.

I don't look my age, due to Asian genetics I look a lot younger. I have an exquisite/exceptional taste for the finer things and love to travel when I have the opportunity. So far, I have been to 3 continents and love the diverse people I've met along the way. I am the life of the party and usually the last man standing, too. What can I say, I Party like a Rock Star.

Of course, that does mean my life is a party. I have ambitions and goals just like everyone else, maybe one day I can be independent from the rat race. In the past, I was a trouble maker, although I may not look like one, but experience has made me, God-fearing and dynamic Furthermore, I believe in Golden Rule and follow it as a creed. I am also a little old fashion, I believe chivalry still exist and try to be a stand up person every way I can.

Overall, I am a nice guy with a sparkle of mischief, because life is too boring to be normal

so lets start off by sayin that im a very outgoing and fun lovin person. i love to surround myself around alot of positive people. i have a great sense a humor so i love someone who can make me laugh. I love listening to music just about everything but rap music. i have a beautiful pittbull who doesnt think shes a dog i love her to death. so u must like dogs. I love watching movies i have the biggest movie collection ever! my favorite types of movies are thrillers/action movies that keeps me on the edge of my seat. I dream of owning my own motocycle ( hog), I drink alot of pepsi, alchol drinks are hennenessy and bud light. I love to dance to all types of music, so what can i say im a very well arounded person so if your intersted please jump.

Time to sell myself in a few paragraphs...okay, here goes. Part time single father, I have three small children that occupy most of my free time,and a demanding job that leaves me with very little of it. On the flip side, I am a smart, funny, normal (whatever that is) guy. I am not looking to jump into anything serious at the moment, just hoping to find some good company to hang out or do things with when time permits. With hopes that it may lead to something someday. I am very easy going, my idea of a perfect saturday would be with friends and family at a bbq just hanging out . I am not at all into games or drama, just looking to spend some good times with good people.
I do love beer, evident by the beer gut, and I smoke, so if these are deal breakers, then I just saved us both some time.
I am not a dark person at all, In fact, i have a witty or sarcastic comment for just about everthing. Those are traits that don't come across very well in email. Plus, I'm really looking to meet new people, and not pen-pals. If we think we might click, then lets meet for coffee or a beer.

Some things I enjoy are camping, dirt bike riding, bbq's and I enjoy cooking, not every night, but I do have a few things I like to make. I'm not much into TV, mostly because I work very early and tend to go to bed before anything good comes on. I do enjoy going out for drinks at nice bars and local pubs.

I like to travel, but could use more time and money to do it with. Have been to a few countries, international travel facinates me.

About you:
I tend to be most atracted to women that are white, atractive, and a bit on the silly side. If you are a bit of a tom-boy, cow girl or even a little on the redneck side, thats way cool.
thanks for checking me out.
Matt
