守身如执玉。 "Guard your dignity as if you were holding a treasured jade."
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; 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 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 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."
Headshot is from July, 2023.

Midwestern-nice homebody who spends most nights with a movie or TV show—horror and sci-fi are favorites. Books and music keep things balanced. I enjoy watching spectator sports, especially baseball, because I can’t play them well. Devoted dog dad to Gus, a mall pet store rescue who runs the household and is terrified of cats. I live in New Jersey and only want to date locally (Eastern PA is fine). Traveling is overrated, and typically, something old is better than anything new.
Dark and dry humor, low-energy evenings, good stories, and someone who can enjoy the same things without forcing excitement are my style. If that sounds like your idea of fun, we’ll probably get along.

I became widowed and retired at about the same time. I really did not have a plan or thought about this circumstance I find myself in. I have avoided eating animals for going on 15 years now. When I considered meeting new people, I found that I am not interested in building new friendships or bonding with people that do not share my thoughts and beliefs about plant-based eating. I am nearly 70, so why waste the effort. I have old friends who just think I'm weird, and have known me long enough to be accepting of my quirks, being vegan is just another one. When I thought about dating again, I decided they must be plant-based, vegan or vegetarian. My sweet wife was all of those at different times. I also wish to only date other widowed people, so it seems like I am asking for a lot. "Well, who doesn't harbour a Hallmark Christmas dream of a Winter Solstice lantern parade to end 2025 with!"

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 am an animal rights activist and ethical vegan. I am currently in education and planning on entering family law. If you like women based on their appearance, which has nothing to do with who they are, you are not the man for me. My Christian faith is the guiding force in my life.

All natural Christian gentleman, who is kind, compassionate, warm, loving and affectionate. I’m strong, persistent, driven when I have to be; yet calm, gentle, happy, cheerful, fun loving, loyal and responsible. Like to cuddle, give and receive a massage.
Like being out in nature, walking on the beach, swimming, hiking, canoeing, biking, camping, adventure. Traveling to explore the great outdoors, seeing the beauty of nature, visiting family, friends and points of interest.
Living a healthful life style is a way of life for me: I’m a vegan; I lift weights, run, exercise, bicycle and stretch to keep in shape. I do not smoke, drink or do drugs or medications. I try to follow the natural laws of health and becoming one with God and nature.
I’m for natural healing, herbs, massage and hydrotherapy. I’m always reading, taking classes, for life is a continuing education and growing process to become the best we can be.
I’m a creative, independent thinker. My hobby is to design and build things.
My Motto: "Make the world a better place by passing through it."

I am involved in several spiritual groups and live by an honest way of life. I am blessed with artistic abilities that I want to cultivate more consistently. (painting, drawing, jewelry design)I have studied and study the CIM, Real Love by Dr.Greg Baer and teachings of the Divine Prophets and Messengers. I'm looking for friendship and maybe more. My Health is better in my life. I'm not a model and if others are looking for perfection pass me by.

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 run an admin business working in music , film and photography.
I also write songs , sing and play acoustic guitar and organise concerts. I'm fairly sociable, love travelling , and tend to view the world as a place that is full of friends that I haven't met yet, and think that there are quite a lot of good people out there. I think that I am a fairly optimistic person , and I think that the feeling you get when you have found somebody you feel really close to is just about the best thing there is !

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 retired, vegetarian since 1994, care about my health and the that of the planet and it's inhabitants. I'm non-materialistic, a skilled craftsman, adore animals, love to be outdoors exploring the Earth and it's cultures. Quiet and laid-back, lean toward the road less traveled and anti-technology in some ways. Forests, quiet coastlines, deserts, hot springs, streams and waterfalls, modern progressive cities, I love to explore off the 'beaten path'. I'm open to relocating (especially outside the USA!), and the ideal life would include a peaceful, quiet, private rural location, a few companion animals, a big organic garden, and plenty of free time to enjoy life and to travel. Our Life would be centered around living and enjoyment--being active in biking, hiking, kayaking, snow sports, or any combination involving exploration of culture and the world. Since retiring in 2020 I have filled some of my time with Australian Shepherd rescue and fostering, currently five in my home only one is a foster. ;)
Interests:
Mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding-skiing-shoeing, snorkeling, gardening, cooking, repairing and building things, live music festivals, exploration and adventure travel, camping, hot spring soaks, dancing [contra, etc], motorcycling, renewable energy, green building, reading, music, playing with my canine friends!
Current plans are finishing a custom camper I have been building the past year, then explore S America!

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.

I pretend we're ten years in the future, and I try to live and eat like that was true. I am a long term vegetarian, and I have been very healthy and lucky my whole life. I have a Master's degree from the U of A, but I feel like I am really self-educated, and I am well read on many subjects. I love modern everything - architecture, cars, clothes, furniture, Macintosh computers. When I was a teenager, my heros were not sports stars or GI Joe, but the astronauts, JFK, and the Beatles.
Never married, I have no children or pets. I have no "baggage". But I do love women, children, and (other people's) animals. I would like to meet a like-minded girlfriend, who can share some my passions. When it comes to travel, I like Asia, but next I would like to see Europe and Scandinavia.
I never watch sports on TV, and I go to live sporting events only rarely, just to enjoy the spectacle. After the game, I might not know who won. If I never golf, that would be too soon. I would much rather go to a concert, museum, event, or just a walk in the desert.
I live in a high-rise in downtown Tempe. I drive an electric Chevy Volt. I can WALK to restaurants, theaters, bookstores, banks, and take the light rail to the airport.
I don't like: motorcycles, weird piercings, tattoos, religion, guns.
I'm looking for a needle in a haystack. That's why you're meeting me on the Internet, not standing in a bar, or sitting in church. If you're out there, I'm sure you will know what you have to do.

I'm separated with 2 children. The legal divorce is (hopefully) close to completion. I also have an older daughter out of the nest living on her own in grad school. I'm a very involved, loving parent.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor by profession. Most of my clients are children and adolescents. I love my work, I’ve been practicing for many years. I'm dedicated to helping improve the lives of my clients and in doing so, improve myself. I get so much from exploring other people's experiences.
I don’t smoke or use any drugs, and I’m allergic to alcohol.
I have an eclectic range of interests. I’m an avid hiker/walker and I also work out frequently. I own a small internet company that sells a backpacking stove I invented and I'm also building a jewelry/wearable art business. Certified in scuba as a rescue diver but don’t get to do that as much as I’d like. I like to go out and socialize. I never stop learning and growing.

I am a senior software engineer working in fintech.
My favorite pastime is sipping Americano at a nearby café while enjoying a book. I like to read about physics, philosophy, history (especially ancient), evolution and politics etc.
Some of my all-time favorite books are:
Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
The Fabric of the Cosmos (Brian Greene)
The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath)
Consciousness Explained (Daniel Dennett)
The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins)
Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind (Tom Holland)
