| Why I'm Raw Vegan |
| I'm passionate about nature, land conservation and animals which are frequently assigned a humiliatingly low status. I believe that killing conscious animals for any reason is predominantly an unconscious act, and I want to raise human consciousness by my own actions and by setting a good example. I've been off-and-on vegetarian since I was a teenager (for both ethical *and* health reasons), and then raw vegan as of the past 8 years (though I'm relaxed both on the "raw" and "vegan"). As an example, my daily diet is usually something like: avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, persimmon, banana, watermelon, papaya, almond butter in various combinations. I also frequently indulge in frozen blueberries, cacao, rye, oats, and sweeteners. I'm not hardcore vegan right now because I might consume animal-derived amino acids or fish oil, or use leather shoes. I also won't turn down homemade vegetable soup or steamed veggies. I'm happy with whatever you want to eat, and I'd love to make dinners together that suit both of us. :) |
| More About Me |
| In theory, I practice presence / mindfulness and try to avoid speaking through ego. In reality, I'm outwardly a normal human being, totally not perfect, and I have my unconscious moments, too. It would be great to find someone who shares a similar desire to be more conscious and is willing to both give and take helpful reminders when we start to slip up. Finding someone truly interested in this has been rather difficult for me. It is something I have had a hard time finding through traditional dating sites, so hoping to have better luck here. I'm conscious of my physical desire for a partner and I'm following it with as much awareness as I can. I want to try to provide you with the masculinity that you desire from my side of a partnership while I keep from slipping into unconsciously identifying as a "side." Some hobbies: backpacking, fermenting, movies, music, making smoothies and kale chips, day hikes, running, board/video games, and math/physics. I have a ton of appreciation of film, classical music, game design, and animation. I also really enjoy books, audiobooks, graphic novels and live performances. My creative outlets are through photography, video game development, philosophy, and, during the pandemic, I began experimenting with electronica. I'd love to meet someone with a couple similar interests, yet allowing space to pursue our own interests where they differ. I'm not into labels, but my personality type was most recently INFP-A (MBTI), 5w4 (enneagram). Love-language was "physical touch" followed closely by "quality time." I really like road trips, nature preserves, national parks, and occasional travel. Right now I'm a bit of a homebody, but I absolutely crave occasional social interaction. Usually, I much prefer to stay in and cook meals and watch a movie / Netflix / play something (alone or together) rather than go out to dinner, but I enjoy going to the movies, classical music, opera, and other live performances. During the pandemic, I ran at least 10k every single day to avoid lockdown boredom in the steep Santa Cruz Mountains. Although I've reduced that due to repetitive injury, I care a lot about my health and hope you care about your health, too! I prefer to use natural healing for physical/mental health -- holistic medicine, diet, exercise, supplements, and meditation/present-mindedness to ease stress. I'm not on board with some pharmaceuticals used in conventional medicine that only treat symptoms! |
| I'm Looking For |
| I'm searching for a partner to love, to share new experiences, and with whom to raise a family. The struggle and joy of being responsible parents is just one of those experiences I'd like to have with my partner. I've learned that sharing a desire for kids/family is an extremely important quality in my ideal match. We share a desire to be aware of negative egoic reactions and defensiveness and want to help each other with that awareness. We are therefore engaged with some form of spiritual betterment or awareness. This lets us be intelligent, patient, creative and healthy. We're not here to blindly cure our loneliness or insecurity. We're spiritually progressed enough to be somewhat conscious of our emotional desires. As life partners, when we're buying grocery for the 457th time and doing taxes for the 23rd time, we'd do so with conscious attention. I don't see us framing the mundane as boring. We'll likely experience suffering as we create and sustain our life together and help each other survive (yet still choose this over a life of solitude and its struggles). Alternating between shared time and solitude seems very important for keeping this in perspective. :) I have tended to live an economically modest lifestyle as a precaution, and that is a type of compatibility that would make us a better match. Maybe we have preconceptions about gender roles and financial expectations, but we like to share them explicitly with each other from the start. It would also be great if we can appreciate art in each others presence without physical intimacy. You'd prefer to let some artistic experiences fully immerse you and respect my current preference for that (i.e., listening to music without speaking; occasional non-cuddling, highbrow movies on the couch :) ). |
