I'm native to the Gulf Coast, descended from upstate farmers who called vegetables "what food eats". I still have some of the farm, now growing longleaf pines, hardwoods and wildlife.
I am a Southern Baptist refugee, Buddhist after Episcopal experience, and won't argue or disrespect anyone's (non-violent) beliefs. I was introduced to Zazen meditation by a Jesuit priest, and have practiced for years. I have long pondered philosophical questions (still do), and intend to continue my quest to be confused at a higher level (e.g. from epistemology to ontology).
I went to college for engineering, and worked with computers in many industries and several countries, and have traveled for fun and romance.
I am staff for a cat. I enjoy communing with nature.
I was married (long time), divorced, and last year lost my long-time partner to Alzheimer’s (we had met here in 2011). I learned some hard lessons (see disasters, above...).
I like to read, practice yoga and meditation, drink coffee and converse, travel, and learn. I like museums, art, architecture, history, music, and theater. I enjoy discovering cultural differences (and similarities). I enjoy spending time with family (reduced to two brothers and sisters-in-law and one nephew) and friends.

My personality type is INFJ, the rarest jewel that shimmers in the human crown. Some personality types are a good match for us INFJs and some are not. Which are you? If you don't know which type you are, I'd suggest looking it up andmaybe even taking a free test about it for some awesome self-discovery .
What you see is what you get with me, 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 drilling holes in and 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 already a happy person. Can you live with that? 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 my Whatyouseeiswhatyouget look, then we just may have a winner. Everyone else, thanks for playing.
I have worked hard all my life and have managed my money carefully. There is plenty now. What's yours is yours and what's mine is mine. There will not be any merging of finances.In other words,if you're looking for someone wealthy to bankroll you, you can instead kiss my assets. If you're of like mind and similarly situated, bring it on. If not,again,thanks for playing.

I'd like to meet people who share my values. Im so happy to see the veg/vegan lifestyle starting to gain momentum, but I still have no close friends who feel the same way I do. I feel youre either born having the capacity to care enough to take a stand or something so traumatic happens to teach you empathy you take a stand. The average common human lacks the capacity for either and we're surrounded by them.

I am inherently a happy person who loves life in all its complexities. Not bound by convention, I am a pretty strong, independent person with varied interests. I care deeply about the environment and causes of social justice, especially the rights of children and animals and am active in rescue efforts both in the US and abroad. I love traveling, hiking, dancing (although I haven't been for a very long time), doing energy work (I'm a certified Healing Touch Instructor and Practitioner). Other loves: Nature; music; animals; singing; finding great little vegan restaurants; traveling; deep conversation; thunderstorms; the desert; mountains and rushing rivers. What is missing from a beautiful life is someone to share it with. If you are a kind, patient man with a well healed heart, sense of adventure and a sense of humor, love animals and nature, email me....You never know....we may just rock each others' worlds!

I'm an independent, happy go lucky, down to earth Aussie chic who thinks that the best things in life are free!
I like to think that one needs to learn from their mistakes, and that perhaps things happen for a reason.
My loved ones mean the world to me and I enjoy spending time with them.
My friends would describe me as a fun & funny, intelligent sassy chic who is loyal and honest. *geezers... perhaps i should just ask my friend to write the rest of this blurb for me* :) lol
I think that I'm ready to meet people and see if we click or not. Of course, needless to say, it is imperative to have chemistry. :). Should there be no chemistry, then what's another friend eh?... Always happy to meet like minded people.
I believe that it is better to be alone, than being with the wrong person.
I prefer live music over clubbing, however could be persuaded.. I appreciate most music from 80's, RnB to jazz. Just as long as it's not heavy metal. Like most, I enjoy movies, festivals to snuggling up with a good novel with either a glass of vino or a nice hot cuppa.

I studied nutrition but my work is in the legal area. I enjoy my dog, gardening, reading and walking, being outside, always learning, open-minded. Are you vaccinated? What a platform to start a conversation here. I certainly agree that animal research for vaccines is wrong, wrong, wrong. Sometimes we have to go outside our comfort zone. I am sure if I were younger, I would stand by morals and not take a vaccine that may contain animal and has been tested on animals. I guess we all go through phases at different times in our lives and sometimes our views change. In Islam, their belief is that if you consume an animal, and it is prayed over, it will be used for wellness and holiness in the person consuming it.

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.

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. 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); shunning invidious (derogatory, hurtful, offensive) speech and actions; 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'm apolitical, concerned mainly with wisdom, capability, and morality. Unwilling to live under a kakistocracy.
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 and spiritual 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."

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!

An Old-School Romantic, looking for my lady love. A lifetime of vegetarianism plus my family's unusual longevity enable me to look and act much younger than my age, and if you listened to an .mp3 recording of my singing, you would immediately know the nature of my Heart better than a half dozen dates would impart. So with these July, 2026, pix and if I can send a song, you should know right away whether I might be appealing or just another dud.
Biography: A long and winding road. .Rural Texas upbringing. UTAustin, intending to be a physicist, but it was the late sixties and there were lots of distractions going by, many of which were wearing very tiny skirts, so, long story short, a stint in San Francisco and Berkeley as a charter member of the Hippies, and then an extended second act as an engineer running my small SoCal firm until, yippie, retirement. Please tell me I won't be putting "The End" up yet.
I believe that the physical Universe has an associated mentality, and have always felt that spirituality was my vocation, and engineering just my avocation. I believe that all consciousness is One, and had a motto placed on my bank checks stating that "Animals are our equals, there is no Master Race". But I think the established religions are just power freaks wanting an exclusive franchise on something powerful, and the whole New Age thing was too unscientific for me, although I LOVE New Agers, in general, with their fine states of consciousness making their superstitions not a turn off, in spite of their illogic. I have a country home polished over the decades to be just what I want, and, frankly, I stay at home a lot, surrounded by my own forest. Not agoraphobic, no fear of leaving ... but I have been Home, and I have been to numerous other places, and there really is no place like Home.
My favorite activity is singing. I recorded 15 songs onto a CD, as a Bucket List item. ... Oh, and I roast my own beans from the world's finest varieties and brew a quite unique creation of my own, which I call EspressoSanDiego. So if you take coffee as seriously as some do, I may have suddenly gone near the top of your list.
PS please do not let my age deter you ... I look quite a bit younger than what you would expect from a guy born in the first half of the 20th Century, and I'm not certain I ever matured emotionally beyond fourteen, or at least that's how old I see myself. Still fourteen.

I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors. The year before Covid I also started taking surfing lessons.
I write and advocate for causes I care about and have had some successes. The circus no longer comes to my town, there's a beautiful preserved forest that does NOT have a cell phone tower, there's a large city park where ALL smoking is banned.....
My favorite issues are environmental, animal rights, and those concerning poverty and human rights. I think in another life I must have been a peasant in a peasant uprising.
This might seem odd but for fun I collect trash. My kayak often looks more like a garbage scow as I gather plastics and other trash while kayaking on the river and at the beach. I mostly just find trash but I've found some interesting stuff too, including something the bomb squad had to blow up on the spot. I'm still waiting to find either a briefcase full of half a million dollars of drug money no one claims or a chest of pirate's treasure sticking half out of a sandbar.
I love gardening... for wildlife, for food, for beauty, organically, and with native plants.
I enjoy a variety of things and am always eager to learn new ones. I'm open to suggestions.....
I admire Thoreau, Gandhi, Paul Watson, Ric O'Barry, johnpaulgeorge&ringo, Zonker P. Harris, Jeremy Hilary Boob Phd.......

I'm looking for a nice person to do activities and have fun with. If something serious develops, terrific. I bike a lot and like to be outside playing, doing most anything. I am easy going, quick witted, have a good sense of humor, and am reflective about life. I laugh easily and bring laughter out in others. I am honest and genuine, and looking for the same. I have a contemplative side that comes out in my yoga, tai chi, and meditation. These add balance and perspective to my life. Life is not to be taken seriously, except when it is. I have long lasting friendships and value them immensely. I easily meet new people, in both my work and play time. I enjoy going to new places and doing new things and both my work and leisure life afford me this opportunity. I live a healthy lifestyle and am primarily plant based. Let's go have some fun outings, or talk on the phone, and see how things go from there.
vegan for 10+ years. i do a lot of outreach and education to help people make the connection between their beliefs and their actions when it comes to the exploitation of non-human animals. hobbies include tai chi (teaching and learning), weight training, fitness, hiking, biking, reading, movies, discussing philosophy, board games

I think everything about how we approach romantic relationships is more or less completely upside down. Let's first investigate who we are to one another, and if we share a mutual admiration for and enjoyment of one another. No timeline, no pressure, no particular goal in mind, just an open interest in whatever emerges. Of course romance is wonderful if that is what is in store for us! But let's stay open and curious and avoid the usual scripts.
All that said, a bit about me and what is most important to me.
I've been vegan for 20+ years and was vegetarian many years prior to that. Veganism and a stance of moral equality with animals is a core pillar of my moral and ethical worldview and something I need to have in common with my most significant connections.
I'm passionate about veganic permaculture and I live on a spectacularly overgrown and almost entirely untamed five acres in rural West Virginia, where I don't have an HOA to complain about my bad behavior.
I work as a coach and counselor, and I am a huge believer in (good!) therapy. If you don't have a very good sense of how your childhood wounds are still influencing your patterns and emotional capacity as an adult, and you don't have a real passion for healing and expanding that capacity, we probably won't be able to develop much of a connection.
I would say I'm "spiritual but not religious," as annoying as that phrase is. I believe we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and that our prime directive is to grow toward truth and love. I find a great deal of faith in the divine order to things (and the nature of that divine order) by observing the natural world.
I'm over a decade sober, and as part of my recovery I practice (or try to, however awkwardly and uncomfortably and imperfectly) radical honesty. This is on a moment-by-moment basis, self-disclosure of what is coming up and what is happening. I deeply desire to find this in others as well. Sober, vegan, radically honest....I'm a lot of fun at parties!
Some things I value very much in other people, and in our time together:
* Slow, focused time and attention
* Reverence for life and emotional and spiritual growth
* Self-responsibility and humility
* A passion for relational repair
A passion for the truth and courage to meet whatever it reveals

And laying hands upon it, you must clean the dirt from the gemstone, separating the wisdom from the falsity which has been encrusted around it. For mortals, when they find the divine, rarely let it soar upwards but instead surround it with their desires for wealth and power and self-righteousness."(c)

Edit:
I am moing to Tucson. Az in June, 2026.
I love the outdoors. I enjoy cycling, camping, hiking, weight lifting and most fitness activities. I am a vegan for ethical reasons. I become a vegan in 2015. I love most types of music. Particularly, blues, alternative, folk, jazz and rock.
I have a happy and lucky life. I am lucky to have many great supportive friends. People generally describe me as nerdy, hippy, intelligent, athletic, competitive, kind and outgoing. I think of myself as shy with the ability to be outgoing. I appreciate calmness and being able to relax. I love yoga and mediation. I smile a lot. I enjoy spending hours in coffee shops reading. I rarely watch television. I am a romantic who sees beauty everywhere in the world such as in music, art, nature, the way a friend smiles or simply seeing two people in love. These little moments of beauty bring me great joy and often bring a tear to my eye.
The most important aspect of my life are my friends and how I treat other people. I believe the key to happiness is how we treat other people.
I would like to think I am patient, understanding, non-judgmental, caring, honest, a good communicator and loving. I just ended a long term relationship. While I am looking for something long term I do not want to rush into anything. I would prefer to begin slowly, building a friendship first and see where that goes.
