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?"
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; 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.
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 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, integrated 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."

I’m vegan to the core, nearly 30 years. I cook with passion and get into my flow creating healthy, delicious, colorful and cruelty-free meals for others. I don’t drink. Weightlifting is empowering and rewarding. Hiking and yoga round it out. I am setting goals and working on myself. I’m an avid reader. Volunteering is important. I live in a rural area for its natural beauty. I’m looking for a long-term partner, long distance for now with travel to mine, yours, or other.

I have rescued dogs and cats. I love the countryside and enjoy walking the dogs (and the cats often join us!). I love to cook and eat delicious food. I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures. I enjoy eating out and visiting the cinema, the theatre and live music events. I'd love to live somewhere I could have my own organic vegetable garden again. I love my garden and beautiful flowers but get real satisfaction from growing my own food, as I did when I lived in France for a few years.

I'm also here because vegan women outnumber vegan men by about 4:1 (nice job, Ladies), so I want to try to help give those incredible women more romantic options to choose from. An ideal outcome for me would be to connect with one very compatible partner and then devote the rest of our lives to supporting each other as we each work to be the best versions of ourselves.
I'm ready when you are ;) .
If you're vegan, I'm interested, and I'm more interested the longer you've been vegan. That goes for friendship or romance, too.
In addition, I'm also very willing to help support anyone hoping to make the transition to a more vegan lifestyle :). We all have to start somewhere.
Evidence-based vegan, progressively political, into lifestyle medicine, and frugal would be a perfect match.
(My idea of splurging is when I buy sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. However, I would definitely be comfortable splurging a little more for the right person :). The evidence-based, into lifestyle medicine, and progressively political qualities are a lot more firmly established.)
Otherwise, I'm happily single, but I'm always open to having more friends, especially more vegan or vegan-curious friends <3
####
Hobbies include daily exercise (with full body resistance training every other day), consuming content from NPR (especially via KQED Radio) and the PBS Newshour, and pursuing opportunities to help better myself or support the world around me :). Other than that, though, I'm very open to new experiences or activities, too.
Native English speaker and somewhat proficient in Spanish. I'm always up for learning more languages, especially if it helps me communicate with you or your loved ones better.
I was formerly pre-health (medical/dental) and then switched to project management because it has allowed me to continue working with and spending time with my family.
Twenty years from now, when those family opportunities are less prevalent, I'll probably look to go back to school (ideally to study something to help reduce animal and/or environmental exploitation, although hopefully humans are no longer doing that 20 years from now :p) or look into more lucrative professional options (and donate any earnings beyond what I would hope to remain a fairly frugal lifestyle to high-impact charities promoting animal welfare.)
Those plans are definitely flexible, however, especially if that flexibility would help me to better support the happiness of a wonderful vegan partner :)

I’m Bravo, a spirited individual with a passion for fresh veggies and a deep love for horses. When I’m not tending to my vibrant vegetable garden, you can find me at the stables, bonding with his trusty steed, Max. I believe that the joy of nurturing plants rivals only the thrill of a galloping ride, making life a delightful blend of flavors and freedom.

Hello veg friends!
Long time vegan living with a couple rescue guinea pigs in the DMV area. After around twenty years in the IT sector, I am transitioning to law. So I have a job as a paralegal but it's not too demanding and gives me some free time. As an introvert, I've found myself a bit a of a homebody over the past few years. Though I enjoy getting vegan food at various places in the DMV, primarily VA, like Loving Hut, Sunflower, and Chay Vegetarian.
I'm a lefty and will certainly get along with other people who are or lean left. I don't believe that animals are "things" and should have as much rights as people. I was at the march for Sanity, I've seen Colbert live, and willing to go to the occasional protest.
Some video games I'm playing include Final Fantasy 14, Warframe, and Elden Ring. I'm not great, but good enough to do some end game content. Maybe you could introduce me to a game or play with me sometime? It's a nice way to relax a bit.

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 like to be out and about in nature, especially by water: Lakes, rivers and the sea.I also like history and enjoy visiting castles, historic buildings, museums, art galleries. I also enjoy, spending time with family and friends, eating out, cooking, DIY
I guess alternative is a word I would use to describe myself. For instance, I don't watch television or listen to the radio on a daily basis, and would also say I am more into vintage than modern. I would also say I am creative and enjoy making and doing things.

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'm a friendly, low key, approachable guy seeking a meaningful, mutually beneficial LTR with a woman that is looking for someone they can always depend upon to be there when needed. I recognize that all lasting relationships generally start with friendship and it takes time to build trust and a connection, so I am not one to rush anything, but I'm prepared to go at whatever pace is mutually preferred. I’m a believer in fate and I truly hope that this profile reaches the soul that I am meant to spend the balance of this journey with.
I'm 62 years old, retired and widowed after 25 years of marriage. I have no children other than a rescued furry feline that I inherited and am committed to caring for. I'm financially and emotionally stable, physically healthy and have adhered to strict vegetarian diet for over 33 years. I'm spiritual, but not religious and would have to say my beliefs align closely with agnosticism. While I enjoy my time at home, I also love the outdoors, hiking, exercise, nature watching, listening to a variety of music, day trips, etc. I own my home in NE Phoenix, close to Paradise Valley.
I was raised with traditional values, including chivalry, honesty, integrity, empathy and compassion, so those qualities are always reflected in my behavior. I can also promise to consistently offer honest/open two way communication, financial and emotional stability, unconditional love and friendship and whatever level of physical intimacy is desired. I'm fully domesticated, so I cook, clean, know how to fix things and can afford to pay when I don’t.

Learning, nature, staying fit, meeting people and traveling would be among my biggest interests and I would like to meet a person that has similar inclinations.
