I guess .. My Type Of Personality .. is not very common and very recently I found out that It Is Called : .. "Sigma Personality Type", .. and -to my amazement-, .. it is -generally- known and understood, and It Is Considered -ststistically- As Being The Most Rare Type -of them all-. .. No wonder I did not -yet- meet anybody that would match my own personality (Or My .. Elusive .. "Soul-Mate / Soul-Bride"). .. It is also nicknamed : .. "Lone Wolf Type", .. which seems to be self explanatory and -apparently- sugestive that .. I Should Be Howling Much More -At Night- (specially at "Full Moon" times), .. or -at least- .. makes a more intenssive use of my .. "Literary Pheromones" within my .. "Cyber Mating Calls". ..

I am kind, irreverent, funny, atypical, and constantly in awe. I passionately love the outdoors, particularly the wilderness. Am a world traveler with a particular interest in Asia (Nepal, Tibet, India, Indonesia) though no exotic far flung trips for awhile and nothing imminent - well I did just return from India but that was work related. I play mandolin (traditional Irish, old-timey, bluegrass, folk, blues, improv) guitar (classic rock, blues, improv), a bit of Irish bouzouki, tenor banjo, and the (once upon a time) sitar (pseudo Hindustani Indian classical), tiny bit of gamelan (pseudo Balinese/Javanese) all the above with varying degrees of some modicum of competence or lack thereof ....). Love film, art, photography, music, reading, snuggling, bicycling, always looking for a kayaking partner?!?!. A long-time history of political/environmental/peace/social justice activism. Am kind, compassionate, open-minded, respectful, strong-willed (stubborn?) but accommodating, communicative (most times), funny, playful, irreverent, honest with integrity, affectionate and comfortable with intimacy. For me nothing is more spiritual than being out in the wilds of nature, backpacking or hiking in the mountains, the canyons of the Southwest, along the ocean, strolling in old growth forests, frolicking in the Himalayas. I'm a long-time vegetarian and vegan. Long hair, short beard.
Oh, and even though I am 5'7" - in your imagination I am much, much taller!

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 love animals, my passion is using food and nutrition for healing them and the people who love them. I have been following a holistic and vegetarian life style since the 70s. I became a vegetarian because I wanted to live a self-sufficient life style and knew I could never kill an animal and eat it.

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 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.

Yes, true!
I am happily single and navigating life's adventures solo.
With no marriage plus zero offspring in the rear view mirror.
Speaking of adventures!
You will often find me soaking up outdoor beauty – it is where I feel truly alive.
While I appreciate the thrill of sports, my heart beats a little faster for the focus and artistry found in creative pursuits.
Now, here is a fun curve: I have developed a lifelong love for bowling.
(Though enjoying the lanes tends to be a rare treat...)
Rest assured, my monogrammed balls are polished and ready to roll – yes, bowling balls!
While I frequently enjoy strikes with plenty of dynamic pin action (Hubba! Hubba!) my daily life leans towards refreshing simplicity.
I frequently find immense joy in moments of casual relaxation.
I also wholeheartedly welcome spontaneity.
I potentially even entertain and enjoy radical impulse in unique and profound instances.
Ultimately, I deeply value vulnerability and the spark of genuine passion in life.

I have traveled a road that has been filled with many fun days that I thought would never end. I have been in the hospitality industry all my life. Took hotel restaurant management and some business management courses in college. Currently, I am not working post-Covid because I am a full-time caregiver for my elderly parents who are aging in place in the family home a half-hour from my house here in Loudoun County Virginia. My wife and I were best friends, lovers, and she knew me better than I knew me. She was my soul mate. Since we lost the fight against cancer, I have taken grief therapy group meetings until Covid and then Zoom. I took up TMD Transcendental Meditation and it has been a gift from her I feel. It really helps me process my stress and grief. Keeps me grounded and helps me control the emotions of loss and angst. I had finally found my "why". Before I met my wife I was happy being single, was younger, and full of good times and cheer. I met hundreds of interesting people from all walks of life. The experiences and stories could fill up a bookshelf. I outgrew all of that when I shifted into the fine-dining part of the hospitality industry. Money was good, I was independent, started my own IRA, got my wine education, and can sell wine with the "somms" of the world. I had been mentioned for positive reviews in newspapers for great knowledgeable service. I worked in an Italian fine dining restaurant that paid for the down payment on our townhouse. Life was getting better and I was becoming more aware.
I met my wife at the restaurant she was the sister of my co-worker and just came from helping her Mom in Peru who had a stroke. She came back to the states to work as a dental assistant when she started working nights in the coat check. It was an attraction that sprang into love.
Since she passed I went into a shell I did not even think about finding anyone else. And to be honest I am fine if I do not. But as I come to a crossroads in my recovery, I feel it's important to reconnect with the outside world. To find my new journey. That's all the more meaningful as I am giving my two elderly Parkinsons riddled parents in-home care because of Covid and my Mom's fear of nursing homes. So that's a peak. I have nothing to hide and all to gain.

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; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; shunning gratuitous hatred of those who think differently; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; not doing what is unethical, even if permitted; 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 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.
I live in the desert, which 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.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine almost 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, comprehensive, integrated philosophy and system of practice that is free of self-interest and that patients need not fear to enter.
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."

A minimalist at heart, caring, happy, playful, honest, reliable, mature, understanding, considerate, more introverted, health oriented, into reading, nature, somewhere between an INFJ and an INTJ, a bit ocd, enjoy quiet peaceful environments as well as more exciting adventures with music and friends, inwardly spiritual, prefer to be toxin free both physically and mentally, value freedom, seeking truth, red pilled, naturally aware, have done a lot of inner work over the years and actively try to cultivate self-awareness, into raw foods nutrition, juicing, desire to be off grid, traveling, and going on outdoor adventures.
I had a goal of building / buying some sort of minimalist / off grid homebase in Alaska, but in so many ways it conflicts with my diet. I may still do this with the intention of only being there part time. Otherwise, I would like to be in a place where fruits are fresh and abundant.
I've spent a lot of time studying natural nutrition and eventually want to create an online program where I could help others with their health. Right now, I have an online course business that I plan to launch in February or March 2026.
I also tend to keep up with what is going on in the world and more often than not stay away from mainstream media because I see a lot of deception in our world today. I didn't take the thing in 2020 and avoid health care centers and hospitals like the plague.
I have a passion for eating raw fruits and vegetables, being aware of what I put into my body both physically and mentally, taking care of my health, being outside in vast areas of nature, learning more about myself and understanding the world as a whole, spending time with friends, and finding community among others.
I'm also chemically sensitive and must avoid scented laundry detergents, perfumes, commercial body cleansing products and need to be with someone who can do the same.

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

A friend described me as a kind, warm hearted man with a big heart. I'm a happy person and I have a great sense of humor. I like to make others laugh and smile. I'm a pretty mellow person and I'm young at heart. I don't get upset easily. I love animals although I don't have any at the moment. I also have a great son. I love going on road trips, exploring new places, hiking and being outside.. I love being by the water whether it's walking along the beach, listening to rapids, body surfing, or kayaking.
I was an archaeologist for 9 years and have been to a lot of different areas of the Western US. I was also an elephant seal docent at Point Reyes for a season.

I'm generally introverted and quiet but enjoy happy amounts of social activities depending on what it is. Usually, that can be things like chill karaoke, random talks & walks, movies, game nights and food. Most interests these days are bowling, computer casual games & internet, trying out new food spots and playing local tourist in the PNW. FB came first for me, followed by Twitter, IG and Bluesky. Just a few keywords that resonate with me: cool, calm, collected, contemplative, kind, open-minded, chill AF, empath, a bit nerdy, a bit random, a bit sassy/snarky & a bit weird. Life has been peaks & valleys at times but I'm learning to navigate everything with more positive intentions.
Here's a sample of my interests:
Activities - random YT vids and Twitch streams, games, (CAH, Mad Libs, etc) random walks, bowling, hiking, neighborhood cleanups...
Food - healthy balance of wholesome stuff & treats...
Movies - anything Wes Anderson, anything Mel Brooks, The Fifth Element, Paprika...
Shows - TV: Whose Line Is It Anyway; Streaming: Foundation...
Videogames - The Last of Us, older Sim Cities, Starcraft, Minecraft, L4D2, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger/Cross.
