Happy, whole, open-minded, heart-based, hippie-ish, affectionate, self-confident, slightly kinky guy with lots of love to share. Very easy-going, non-judgmental American transplant to Ireland (dual citizenship), so I will always be an outsider/blow-in.
A kind-hearted and very liberal free-spirit, I find great beauty in life and also laugh a lot! A rich and fulfilling sex life is important to me as a way of communication and connection. I like to touch and be touched by those I love.
Currently living a rather low-key, rural life in a beautiful location, alone in a big house with one feline who chooses to be with me.
Reach out and say hello!

I have been a vegetarian for several years. I love outdoor activities especially during the summer such as hiking and swimming. Traveling is also one of my interests. I have traveled to South America, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Turks and Caicos. I also enjoy seeing movies, reading books, going to concerts and going to museums.
With a bachelor's degree in biological sciences, I worked at first as a lab technician in an environmental lab. Eventually, I received my nursing degree and now work at a local teaching hospital.
I am very family oriented. I try to respect and get along with my parents.

I'd like to meet people who share my values. Im so happy to see the veg/vegan lifestyle is starting to gain momentum, but I still have no close friends who feel the same way I do and I'd like to change that.

I'm happy, cool headed and easy to be around. I run an agritech company in Kent and can get my hands on an endless supply of strawberries.
I don't really watch tv
I have 3 girls, 2 x 16 years old twins and a 12 year old and love um to bits.
I'm very "awake" and always seek the truth so I know a lot of stuff, especially regarding the meat industry (one of the reasons I stopped eating meat 16 years ago). I stay fit and Healthy. I love nature and live amongst it on my sea cruiser.
I love adventures, walks, live music, festivals, driving somewhere new, holidays, weekends away and making nice food.

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.

I grew up in Ohio and lived in Utah and California before moving to New York and recently moved back to Ohio. I have been vegan since September 2008 (vegetarian about a year and a half before switching). I have worked helping animals for the past 13+ years. I started as an adoption counselor at a humane society in Ohio, than a dog caregiver at a large sanctuary in Utah, and for over 8 years I was a caregiver for farm animals at a sanctuary. I have a degree in Criminal Justice, but after a few years realized that helping animals was the direction I wanted to go with my career and life, and I haven't had any regrets. I have one four legged child who runs my life (no two legged ones for me). When I am not taking care of the animals at work or my girl at home, I enjoy spending time outside going for walks, hikes and biking. When I just feel like staying around the house I enjoy reading and watching movies.

I'm a lingering intellectual. I enjoy languages--including the finer points of English, humor, music, walking along picturesque paths.
I've lived overseas some 11 years which gives me a slightly different cut on life. But, I was born in the US heartland and carry Midwestern genes, with liberal progressive values.

I'm separated with 2 children. The legal divorce is (hopefully) close to completion. I also have an older daughter out of the nest living on her own in grad school. I'm a very involved, loving parent.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor by profession. Most of my clients are children and adolescents. I love my work, I’ve been practicing for many years. I'm dedicated to helping improve the lives of my clients and in doing so, improve myself. I get so much from exploring other people's experiences.
I don’t smoke or use any drugs, and I’m allergic to alcohol.
I have an eclectic range of interests. I’m an avid hiker/walker and I also work out frequently. I own a small internet company that sells a backpacking stove I invented and I'm also building a jewelry/wearable art business. Certified in scuba as a rescue diver but don’t get to do that as much as I’d like. I like to go out and socialize. I never stop learning and growing.

Well-rounded, eclectic and baggage-free describes me well. At any point I have several projects on the go requiring a wide range of skills and aptitudes. I was originally, and still am, qualified as an accountant although, apart from a pro-bono audit of a little Buddhist charity every year, I have not regularly done any accounting for quite some time.
The daily yoga and meditation I practise and everything else I do are spontaneously guided and effortless. Yoga has given me a strong and supple body with a spirit to match that belie my age.
Friends sometimes describe me as slightly eccentric which is taken as a compliment....but I'm not sure that's entirely correct. Certainly I'm healthily unpredictable, acutely intuitive, sometimes non-conformist in a conservative way and a little Machiavellian. On balance I'm probably intellectual with a dry philosophical sense of humour that is never at anyone else's expense. I can be chatty and cheerful while at other times intense and focused.
I prefer intimate one-on-one situations and steer clear of noisy places and crowds. Simple pursuits are more to my liking. I am dedicated to the people around me including allowing them space where space is needed.
I've described myself as a non-drinker as one alcoholic drink per month is about the limit of my enjoyment in that regard....call that what you will.
My style is relaxed and informal and my timeless spirit always shines through. Compliments from women about my eyes and my smile are not uncommon.

Being a vegan has not been easy for me, and that's a dramatic understatement. My family was not accepting or understanding when I decided to adopt a vegan diet, and it's had lasting effects.
When I first began eliminating foods from my diet, my parents didn't know what to make of it. They thought I was crazy, and reacted with fear and hostility. They took me to psychiatrists who tried to discourage me from going vegan; I was banned from eating at the dinner table with my parents (I could only eat after my father was in bed); and other family members refused to speak/associate with me, afraid that my vegan "insanity" was contagious and they might catch it.
Perhaps worst of all, my parents, especially my mother, began controlling all aspects of my life. My mother has always been a "smother-mother," or "helicopter-mom" but after I finished high school and became a vegan, it became exponentially worse. She now controls about everything in my life, and it's absolutely suffocating. I'm not allowed to do anything or go anywhere without her permission.
But she thinks it's for my own good; that she's protecting me. She thinks, if left on my own, I'd never make it. That the world would eat me alive. Which is why I'm reaching out here: to try to connect with other vegans, hopefully find a soulmate, and escape from the unhealthy and soul-crushing authority of my parents.
And of course, I'm not perfect (that doesn't mean I stray from my veganism, which is incredibly important to me). I have flaws, and I want to be honest about them. I think it's only fair to any potential partner. I have depression (largely from the way people have treated me over the years, but it also runs in my family), as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which is an anxiety disorder (if you've ever watched the show "Monk," you might be familiar with it).
But that doesn't mean I'm not still a good person. I'm an introvert, sensitive, quiet, patient, and a good listener. I'm very low-key, and a home-body (yet in my current situation, I'm very lonely).
I'm trying to be a writer (short stories, novels, graphic novels, poetry), and am very much the artistic/intellectual type. I wanted to be an actor, but my parents forbade it. I also used to paint/draw, but my parents took away my art supplies, and now I just don't have the time anymore. I haven't had much luck in publishing, other than letters to the editor and a few online articles for an animal rights group.

I am a fit, professional, mostly vegetarian woman with many interests. I lived and worked outside of the States for several years and aspire to travel abroad again. I appreciate beauty, simple pleasures, and adventures big and small. I gravitate towards the arts and in particular music and dance. I am often moving for fitness outdoors but also like quiet moments reading and reflecting. I enjoy the natural world and participate in and support environmental conservation and restoration projects and causes. Ultimately, I am seeking a lasting connection with someone along the path. I believe it all starts with compatibility, trust, and friendship...

Healthy, stable, intelligent, active vegan on a most excellent journey in this life.
Took me a long time to get here, but feel very lucky to be here now that I am.
Always looking to improve, learn, explore, and hoping to find a good friends, to share this wondrous journey.
I want to be a more positive force in this life.
Very passionate about cycling, riding 6,000-8,000 miles a year, spring, summer, fall, winter........love spending 3 or 4 hours in the saddle!
Cancelled my cable TV subscription years ago,(don't miss it!),but still enjoy good movies documentaries......as well as good books/music.
I've been blessed to have lived/traveled all over the world, Phoenix, Aspen, New Mexico, California, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, Washington New York, Arkansas, Minnesota, Louisiana, Idaho, Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Montreal, England, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, British Columbia and have found it to be one of the most valuable learning lessons of my life.
Made so many wonderful friends, and amazing memories along the way.
I recently spent a few weeks camping/hiking in southern Oregon, and British Columbia, and absolutely fell in love with these places!
Slept under the stars every night.....miss that already.

Intelligent, creative, down-to-earth, witty, open-minded (yet having definite opinions), athletic, in shape, honest, faithful, non-materialistic, sensitive, affectionate and sensual are some traits that could describe me. I'm pragmatic, yet also idealistic about certain things.
I'm a self-employed professional photographer. Since photography is my hobby as well as my profession
it is a major factor in my life. Let me know if you'd like to see my photography on my website. I'm very interested in computer imaging also.
Snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, skateboarding, and body boarding are among the sports I'm into. I’m always open to trying new ones. I'd much rather go participate in a sport than
watch someone else doing one. I love all kinds of visual arts and like to go to museums and galleries. I like to travel to new places, especially national parks. Gardening, especially with native plants is something that I enjoy. I also have a large number of houseplants.
My daughter was born on 12/12/03.

Woe is me! I don't get no respect at all. I says to this cook, "Can you do vegan for me?" She says, "What kind of girl do you think I am?" I go to the vet's to buy some vegan puppy chow. She says, "Is it to go or will you eat it here?" (à la Rodney Dangerfield)
Humor is so important because it engenders and represents hope, something we all need. And no one has ever died of laughter. Is that what's meant by "humoral immunity"? ;)
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 sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, 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 and evenhandedness, including not saying anything essentially true but meant to mislead (as in PR/marketing/media); 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; 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 junzi, 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 and waggish 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. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
Love the natural environment in which I live, but the beauty of any place derives mainly from who's around you. Very willing to relocate.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral philosophy and system of practice, free of self-interest, the cure for the present degenerate system.
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 need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."
