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.

Mostly quiet, (but also talkative and friendly), considerate, interested in music, knowledge. I go to the gym to swim and workout everyday. Read mostly non-fiction. Listen to NPR most of the time, classical music the other most of the time. Play blues, R&R, R&B, singer-songwriter. Listen to the same, especially when working on the exercise machines, occasionally classical. Mostly now listen to NPR and the BBC, as things are getting crazy, and I repect how they are trying, and working hard to keep it balanced, (although some would disagree). Piano....Guitar. And bike riding.

Work in printing. Fairly laid back - enjoy exploring the countyside, hiking in the hills and coastal paths. Travel. I play guitar and ukulele and record and perform as part of a duo.I seem to spend too much time renovating my Victorian home - I even built my own kitchen (although it took nearly 3 years!) My tastes in music, film etc I'd describe as non mainstream. Spent much of the 80s/90s listening to John Peel - any Belle & Sebastian fans out there?
I like to cook and make a mean curry if nothing else!
Oh and my favourite comedians are Stewart Lee, Mark Steel and Jeremy Hardy if you're wondering why I left that lifestyle section blank!!

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.

Happy Vegan taking care of 3 dogs whom I rescued and love so much. I also will stop the car if I see a lost dog. Bring him home..bathe him...feed him...make fliers...try to find his guardians. I also match up people who post on craigslist that they lost a dog and another person post the same picture of a dog they found. I love when that happens...of course I have a list of questions and offer recommendations so this does not happen again. Wait here's the thing--if there is a lost dog in my neighborhood...well many times I will just open the front door and there he will be. Dogs just know that my house is where they will find safety and love.
like to stay in more than go out...but once out I'm happy. Dancing is one of my favorite activities and raising global consciousness is amazing.
I like to get up early and GO...to the gym...hike or walk my dogs 'round the 'hood. I'm a morning person. No coffee required--wheat grass, water w/Liquid Chlorophyll and I make the best raw Oatmeal.

I am a young-hearted gal with a good deal of knowledge with regard to career pursuits over the years (i.e., I have successfully engaged in everything from ski-lift operator, guest-ranch wrangler and chain-saw/heavy-equipment operating in my younger years in the mountains of Colorado to more "refined" careers such as sales rep and court reporting...and then ending my career path as a major-airline flight attendant...after working the ticket-counter and gates and ramp and ops - with various airlines over the years - before going into inflight operations.) I am attentive to a natural-health and healing approach to life (and prefer to meet someone who is holistically-oriented). Also, I resonate deeply with nature and her critters (i.e., am a bona-fide animal lover) and would appreciate meeting a man who resonates and would also enjoy occasional world travel, perhaps flying (i.e., general aviation)...being reciprocally cherished and adored -- and assisting in enriching the lives of others in whatever way that we can.

I enjoy strolls in nature and organic gardening. I’m interested in meeting a like-minded friend and potential partner, for positive and life nourishing activities.

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.

My interests are varied, even within my interests. Tops on the list are food, music, nature, science (new and old), art (new and old), craft, and conversation. Diversity is embraced, as is family. I have lived in and loved the city and the country.
I have strong opinions on political and religious issues/beliefs, but none of them fit any party line. Discussing those things, whether we agree or disagree, is something I enjoy.
My body type is not really average for my age, just to me. I am in good shape: work out a bit and ride a bicycle as my main transport.

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.

I keep fit walking my dogs, & with daily exercise.
I love horror, & period drama films, reading, cooking, gardening & interior design.
My ideal holiday would be a city break, or river cruise. I'm not good with heat, & hate the thought of a beach holiday.
I like calm, routine, & not feeling under pressure.
I am sarcastic with a good sense of humour.
I do not suffer fools anymore, & have absolutely no time for people who talk about themselves all the time....my pet hate!!

Creative. Author. Well. Fit. Cerebral. Humor. My life experiences are deep and extraordinary and I can't help it. my work as an author and private practice counselor is a labor of love.
I am both a confident alpha leader type who is also sensitive and can adapt to nearly anything and get along. My sense of humor is of wit and I can have fun with the serious and be serous with the frivilous. Life is far too mysterious to be take so serous!
I'm a helping professional and an author and a polymath. I like open road adventures and quiet intimacy too. I love romance and being romantic. I like to hold more than be held if that makes sense.

I arise every morning before dawn in order to walk barefoot around Festival Park. To keep my mind from wandering, I sing Sufi Dance songs, including my favorite.
“Come, come, whoever you are
“This Caravan knows no despair
“Even though you have broken your vows
“Perhaps 10,000 times.
“Come, come again.”
I began this ritual in the summer of 2024, and skipped only the one day when a rainstorm scared me off. Now that it’s November, the frost makes the nail on the big toe of my left foot feel like it’s about to fall off, but I’m still out there. Come December, when the snows come, I suspect that my routine will change. Probably, I’ll sing Christmas carols.

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."

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!

Vegetarian since 16 years of age for ethical reasons. Not religious, but tend to identify more with Hindu if I had to pick a religion. Have a phD in math, and teach college. No children, and divorced.
