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 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, 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 travel up and down California for my career which I really enjoy. Life is great! What's missing is the right lady to be the light of my life. One and one makes much more than two. Being self-employed, I make my own schedule so I can arrange time for togetherness.
While I have never been married, I have had relationships with some terrific ladies. Hey, I was a late starter and did not really get going until my thirties. I even had a relationship with a smoker for awhile. Now I am comfortable with myself and know the qualities I enjoy from my partner. I do not desire to be a serial dater and only want to put my attention to one lady.
If you like an easy-going guy who can't wait to see you when he arrives, that is me. I am not a drama king and do not like to fuss and fight. I work as a tech but used to be a musician so I have a mix of creative and practical.
When you meet me you will quickly experience my sense of humor as I am always looking to laugh. My cell phone is off when I am with you. I'm rarely bored and look for new adventures. If you are the right one, I will invent ways to amaze and entertain you. When I am in love I am inspired and walk on air. I exercise and work out for health but also to look good for my significant other. Great motivation!

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 yes, prefer to meet someone who has not been vaccinated) - and resonate deeply with nature and her critters (i.e., am a bona-fide animal lover). I 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.

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.

I’m Michael. Life has shaped me in ways I never imagined, but through it all, I've learned to lean on faith, the love of family, and the strength that resilience brings. I’ve been through some tough times, including the heartbreaking loss of my wife, Wendy, to cancer, but my journey with her was one of profound love and lessons learned. I’m blessed with two amazing sons, Giovanni and Solomon, who are growing into young men with their own passions and dreams. Fatherhood is my greatest blessing, and I’m committed to guiding them as they navigate life.
I believe in living with purpose — embracing the ups and downs with grace and faith. I’m someone who finds peace in the simple things, like watching a good game of football, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with family. Gardening, reading, and the occasional DIY project help me find balance and joy.

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 love my coffee black with a shot of espresso, hiking, waterfalls, the crackle of a campfire, stargazing, fuzzy sweaters, kisses from my vegan dogs, photography, art, Moscow mules, spades and Texas Holdem. . . if you can get a card game together send me a message right now! I typically spend my free time in hiking and recently I started foraging for mushrooms.
I don't mind spending some time in the kitchen… but it’s more fun cooking with a friend! I love trying out new recipes, but a few favorites include: hoisin-mustard tofu lettuce wraps, tofu bahn mi, sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, zucchini malai kofta, roasted Brussels sprouts, and I make a mean tofu scramble. My current obsession is Indian food. I don't love doing the dishes. :p
Recently I've discovered the joy of living minimalisticly. I've learned that letting go of things that no longer serve me leads to serenity.
I'm a small business owner and I LOVE my profession. It makes me INCREDIBLY HAPPY... but sometimes (mostly seasonally) I work insanely long hours, and I need someone who is understanding of this. I don't see myself relocating my business.
Life is good. :) I have small close group of lifelong friends that are my chosen family. Several of them are vegan who also love to cook, so our gatherings always include lots of vegan food. Together we often enjoy board games, card games, escape rooms, bocce, and campfires.
A few of years ago I met a small group of compassionate people through a mindfulness based meditation group. Together we started a small community giving-garden. It's a project that is close to my heart, and I donate time there at least once a week sometimes more. I love getting my hands in the dirt, learning about gardening, and donating the fruits of our labor to feed the hungry.
