INTRODUCING MR. VIP #7

We are excited to announce the search for a new VIP. He’s a passionate and accomplished (retired) Silicon Valley business lawyer who is something of a Renaissance man. Our handsome VIP is a Caucasian male, 62 years old with a fit and slim build. He's warm, romantic and interested in nearly everything in life.

He retired from his big-firm legal practice a handful of years ago — at the top of his game and an internationally recognized expert in his field — because life presented too many exciting opportunities for him to continue working full-time. He still works a bit as a consultant and expert witness, yet spends most of his time pursuing his passions. These include: books (mostly contemporary fiction, ranging from the more literary end of the spectrum such as Possession by A.S. Byatt to speculative fiction such as Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, but also including history, such as A Game of Birds and Wolves by Simon Parkin and pretty much anything by Mary Roach); movies (ranging from art house to thrillers — recent favorites include Women Talking, Cafe Society, and Arrival); fine dining (ranging from real NY pizza and gyros to high-end tasting menus); travel (emphasis on "world cities," but also empty places such as Canyonlands National Park or the less-visited portions of Death Valley — he absolutely loves sharing desert solitude with a partner); good conversation with thoughtful people (especially one-on-one or in small groups); music (most often jazz, blues and classical, but also some contemporary popular music – more modern favorites include Holly Cole, Lana del Rey and Joan Osborne); concerts, plays and dance performances (esp. modern dance); collecting modern/contemporary art; hiking (especially 3 - 7 mile hikes in the hills around the Bay Area); technology-related hot topics such as AI (he has served as a consultant to a Bay Area AI company) and misinformation (he recently gave a lecture on misinformation in mainstream media at a local college); and much more.

Our VIP is a serious contemporary art collector — it's been a passion since 1986. He is not the type of collector who buys simply to build a collection. He only buys art that makes him "weak in the knees." He currently has nearly 100 works of modern/contemporary painting, photography, ceramics and sculpture in his home. Among the favorite artists in his collection are Bernard Cathelin, Marta Penter and Raimonds Staprans, but many of the works he loves are from much lesser-known artists still making their name. When he last went to Art Basel/Miami Art Week (just before Covid), he found the only work he purchased at an artist open studio rather than at one of the major shows. Here in the Bay Area, you'll often find him at art events ranging from Art Market to open studios at Hunters Point/Shipyard Artists.

Over the years, his hobbies have included flying (he has a private pilot license), motorcycle racing, photography, and off-road travel throughout the American West. His current hobby is woodworking. While he'd love to spend an evening discussing recent novels or attending a poetry slam, he'd be just as happy to go skydiving or white water river rafting but doesn’t expect his dream partner to be as adventurous as he is.

With an undergraduate background in philosophy and a law degree from Yale, this candidate is no intellectual slouch. But he's also a true romantic who would happily stare into your eyes over a candlelit dinner or spend an entire evening cuddling next to the fireplace. A widower, he was married to the same woman for 35 years until she was taken from him by cancer. He's looking for a new life partner to share his exciting journey for decades to come — and feels absolutely ready due to his focused engagement with professional grief therapy and loving support from family and friends.

Solid relationships come naturally to this candidate. His adult daughter lives close by and they see each other at least weekly. He has a substantial core group of friendships that have been in place for 15-20 years or more.

His best suited match is a mature woman, probably between the ages of 48 and 60, with a physical appearance younger than her chronological age. She’s at a place in her life where she can join our client romantically, intellectually, and emotionally. She enjoys keeping active, fit, and healthy.

She has a spring in her step, a happy face, and a readiness to smile - just because. She’s naturally attractive and feels confident in her skin sans heavy make-up or ornamentation of dripping jewelry and obvious big brand luxury items. While she appreciates the finer things in life like our client does, she doesn’t feel the need to lead with them and certainly does not define herself by material goods.

Our VIP has found women of all races beautiful.

It’s the woman who embodies the "entire package" including her personality which will capture the heart of this stellar VIP. She’s probably more of a people person than not, but also enjoys quiet time at home. She's better suited to share life with a partner in a monogamous partnership than to fly solo throughout the decades. She most definitely is a very interesting and interested person. Friends would describe her as a life-long learner, someone who has a strong moral compass, and the kind of friend you could call in the middle of the night to speak to about something that’s really troubling you. She’s a heart-centric, sensitive individual, who conveys warmth and a solid core of authenticity.

Like our VIP holds true, his dream partner thinks a romantic relationship should be about kindness, respect, affection, honesty, integrity, joy, and enthusiasm. She thinks a life partner is someone to be cherished, valued and appreciated. She’s been holding out for at the right man to cuddle with, hold hands with, love deeply, and spend the rest of their lives together.
