My educational background is BS in Chemistry and a Masters in Math and Computer Science. Most of my career has been in computer science. I ran a software company for 14 years and sold it. I subsequently got bored and gave myself a job.
Now my day job is web design. My nighttime passion is dancing. I devote much of my free time in dance practice as a competitive ballroom dancer I compete currently at the championship level throughout the US. I'm a former Stanford University adjunct professor where I taught social dance for 9 years. I also authored their social dance curriculum.
I enjoy movies/tv (esp. sci-fi), theatre (esp. musicals), occasional ice skating (I was quite adept in my 20s, but pretty rusty now), and chilling at a beach or retreat center. I use to do yoga, but not so much lately.
I also enjoy traveling. My last biggie was one month in Tawain. So inspired, I'm currently learning Mandarin Chinese. I'm still pretty bad (我的中文不好).
I'm also bi-coastal. Until the pandemic hit, I'd spend a few months/year in Pompano Beach (South Florida) where I have a condo. The remainder of the year, unless traveling, I spend at my primary home in Los Altos Hills (Northern California).

I really love everything that is natural, but I'm still living in a city. I plan to move to the countryside someday. Anyway, I like my job (engineer working for the environment) and I enjoy sustainable travelling whenever I can. I do some sport (play tennis and do jogging), I like hiking, and go cycling once in a while (not easy in the city though). I love fine arts exhibitions and reading self-development books.

What you see is what you get, but you also get so much more than appearances suggest! I am comfortable in my own skin. I know and like who I am. Therefore, I have no use for painting my face, prancing around in spiky heels, dressing like a whore, dancing backwards or hanging ornaments on myself like some primitive Christmas Tree. I don't need you to complete me. The right partner is a nice add-on. Likewise, I cannot complete you or make you happy if you're not an already happy person. Can you live with that, or will it make your orbs fall off? If you are secure enough in your own identity that you don't feel a need to boss someone around, if you can respect that we are both busy and you are not my keeper, not my boss, not my patient, not the only person or activity in my life, and you happen to like the Whatyouseeiswhatyouget look, then we just may have a winner. Everyone else, thanks for playing.

Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace seichel, not artificial intelligence, and tznius, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words. Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Empathetic to the point that it can sometimes cause distress. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which, it has been said, teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
Having stopped practicing clinical medicine almost 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically in the current environment, I've written extensively about the depraved medical system in which those who are in it shouldn't be and those who should be aren't, and about how it should be.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words don't need to be many; just a few can make a close friend."
Headshot is from July, 2023.

Since completing my bachelors I have been doing some substitute teaching and volunteering while searching for that perfect full time job! I love to laugh and connect with friends at concerts, over bible-study or taking in a thrilling or thought- provoking film. I also enjoy museums and art festivals. I love being outdoors and going for walks in the woods or by the ocean. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to travel abroad and hope to do more traveling in the future.

I like cycling, football(soccer).tennis, photography, pop music and computer games(not modern games that have graphic violence).
I prefer classic television to what's on the TV now. Comedies I like for example, are Laurel and Hardy, Benny Hill, Are you Being Served and the Carry On films. I also enjoy watching old game shows on Challenge.
My favourite animals are rabbits. I like to read about and support animal sanctuaries.
I am a nervous and anxious person who has retreated into his shell.
I believe sex is for after Marriage and would like someone who has always adhered to this belief.

I’m a retired college professor, artist, and author looking for a compatible travel companion. I enjoyed 30 wonderful years with my wife who passed from cancer in 2019. Before she passed, she encouraged me to find a vegan travel partner. I've found fulfilling relationships, but still looking for a suitable travel partner.
I love gardening, writing, massage, cooking, and travel. Some of my favorite outings include gardens (especially in Maui!), live theater, theme parks, museums, and art shows. My mornings start out with some meditation, breathing exercises, Qi Gong, then a workout. I love creating things, whether it be digital or something eye-catching for the garden. I have a Master of Arts degree in Mathematics and one in Educational Technology. I fully retired from teaching in 2020. I’m the author of 12 books and manuals, mostly on computer-related topics.
I spend a lot of my time improving my garden when not out and about. It's a tranquil retreat with plenty of fruit trees, garden beds, and a hydroponic tower. There is also a tea house, a flowing stream, and plenty of seating areas.
I am passionate about promoting a plant-strong lifestyle through writing, hosting pot lucks, and networking. I discovered this way of eating in 2012, and it has given me a new lease on my health. I believe strongly that our society needs to move in that direction if we are to cure our chronic diseases, protect our environment, and reduce animal suffering.
Now that Covid has eased up, I’m looking forward to finding a compatible traveling companion with similar eating style.

I am looking for a God-sent vegan dad (or family oriented man) so that we can share some peaceful parenting and healthy cooking tips. Ideally a lifetime together :-)
I am raising a wonderful child on my own and spend most of our time outdoors. We love biking, walking on the beach or in the forest, swimming in the cold lakes, dancing and gardening.
We prepare plant-based food mostly from scratch using locally grown organic produce.
The career achievements I've had so far provide some stable grounds and great balance to enjoy life on this magical island. I would like to use my pilot licence one day to rescue dogs.
Since I am a crunchy mom, I keep electronics away as much as possible, so I will be a bit slow at corresponding.
Being HSP, INFJ, I will get along with a highly empathetic man.

Interested in philosophy, sociology, poetry, music, geography and more, i like to travel, especially in South East Asia/ Far East.
My look is a little bit eccentric, with very long hair. Usually people think i am much younger than my age ( so i still have long chesnut brown hair ) and some consider me handsome - just a matter of taste !

I'm a smart, successful, and fun-loving man who loves to laugh. If you can make me laugh, you'll make my day! My family and friends are my world, and I try to savor all the small moments that make life so great. I often work too hard and am always looking to find more ways to play. I'm looking for a woman who is caring and kind, who enjoys life, and who does not take herself too seriously, someone who can appreciate both brains and beauty. I enjoy getting out of the city whenever I can, and I love traveling. I have an adventurous spirit and will try anything once (well, almost anything). I have many things remaining on my bucket list - what's on yours? someone selfish and not thoughtful lol.
The woman I'm looking for will see a positive side of things. Good listener and truly values kindness. She can introduce me to her favorite hangout places. I want someone who will treasure my family and look for a best friend, soulmate, and the love of my life that I will treat like a well-respected queen.

I love writing, biking, walking, hiking, doing Taichi, preparing a nutritious meal, gardening, sewing, and observing nature. I try to live with mindfulness. I like to live a simple, yet meaningful life. I would like to develop my fullest potential in this lifetime and be able to contribute to the world ...
I wrote the following article on September 10, 2025, at 12:22 PM
>>> Your emotions determine your happiness, and
Your happiness determines your life.
Since my best friend, Dougald, left this world on July 28th this year,
My sadness hasn't diminished even a single day.
But the times of sadness have gradually decreased.
Most of us have feelings.
When we're sad, we don't need to resist it,
But rather understand why we're sad.
This experience of losing a dear friend
Has made me feel immense regret for his short life!
Because he was such a kind person!
Many say that for every effect, there's a cause.
Perhaps his early passing was due to this causal relationship.
I understand very well how the law of attraction works.
When you're happy,
The vibration you emit attracts things related to happiness.
When you're sad, you attract similar things that make you sad.
When you're angry, you attract similar things that make you angry.
... and so on.
So, to have a fulfilling life, the vibration you emit is crucial!
You can be sad, but don't let it persist for too long.
Learn how to transform sadness into strength.
When you're feeling down, realize that
Most people don't know how to control their emotions.
If you could handle it with a relaxed attitude, they wouldn't affect you.
Impermanence is a normal part of life; there's no need to lament it.
The important thing is to accept impermanence and strive to do what you love.
It will make you want to live a more meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful life!

Mostly quiet, (but also talkative and friendly), considerate, interested in music, knowledge. I go to the gym to swim and workout everyday. Read mostly non-fiction. Listen to NPR most of the time, classical music the other most of the time. Play blues, R&R, R&B, singer-songwriter. Listen to the same, especially when working on the exercise machines, occasionally classical. Mostly now listen to NPR and the BBC, as things are getting crazy, and I repect how they are trying, and working hard to keep it balanced, (although some would disagree). Piano....Guitar. And bike riding.

Over the past few years I've been focusing on energy and breathing using imagry, crystals, Tai Chi, Feng Shui, Tapping and EMDR therapy. I've also discovered don Miguel Ruiz, a writer who has enabled me to gain wisdom and peace. He has written many books, including The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, and many others. I like to commune with nature often taking walks in the neighborhood and at nature parks.

I run 4 half-marathons a week. Can you keep up? (worry not-that's why the gods gave us bicycles!) The point is, I've energy & ambition, do you? Middle age isn't time to slow down but to accomplish lots with our acquired wisdom while having quality fun & meaningful relationships with each other, the earth, and our spirituality
Bedridden by an accident for 2007, neurologists sentenced me to crutches for life. Their bleak prognosis to proposed spinal surgery was unacceptable! My response: diet, meditation, & 14-hour days of physical therapy. I can now walk all day, and run for hours. This characterizes my purpose, perseverance, & hard work -qualities I pledge to the longevity of our relationship and your happiness
You of course needn't run marathons, but please be ambitious and committed to active youthful habits. Born in the 50s I’m now saying bye to my 50s but not to the activities & energy of past decades. You shouldn’t be too much older or younger than I, and you should burn to SHARE and nurture a fit lifestyle
I'm a:
~musician/composer
~bilingual repatriated expat (temporarily I hope)
~writer, translator & linguist
~entrepreneur
~longtime follower of alternative medicine/nutrition
~builder, remodeler, repairman
~broken-hearted & betrayed, BUT optimistic & loving
~convalescing fitness & health buff
~teacher
~spiritually perseverant & inquisitive
~software programmer
~above all: a hopeless romantic & idealist
How do I add meaning to the oft-asked "What am I/what do I do?" I'm at a crossroads. Past success at these life-styles bless me with the freedom to now choose which, if any, I wish to resume. I can't simultaneously practice them all, so help me choose! Would you rather live with a translator or a farmer? A house builder or an intellectual? A musician or a monk? Mix & match!
Bio:
~Pacific Northwest childhood, infatuated with arts, crafts, building, & nature
~adolescence conquering the wilds of Canada, living self-sufficiently off the land (as a vegan!)
~a decade in Mexico where I taught languages & music and started medical studies (Western AND alternative) but married/had kids instead of finishing
~a decade slaving for (but enamored with) the software industry in WA & Europe, excelling through the 90s dot-com bonanza
~and now I'm a decade into life as a dumped lover & single-parent temporarily retrenching/retiring/retreating to sedentary small-town life & nature to finish raising my college-bound kids & restore a 100 year old Victorian
