I am definitely an animal lover and I don’t eat any of them. I’m the guy pulling over to help a turtle cross the road and get safely to the other side. The call of the loon or an owl are a couple of my favourite sounds.I would describe myself as optimistic and have been known to say that my glass is ¾ full. I enjoy my career and work hard, but I also take time for the fun things in life as I believe a healthy balance between work and play is very important. In my free time I enjoy golf, waterskiing, kayaking, walking through the forest with my dog, relaxing in my hammock, or reading a good book by the fire. I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to see some awesome places. Visiting the Arctic was an amazing experience, as was Africa and Australia to name a few. Hawaii is a favourite destination and I return there each year to do some volunteer work to raise funds for local Maui charities.

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 a tall, fit, degreed professional, non-smoker, non-drinker, no drugs, who is passionate about practicing WFPB NSOS nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.I very much enjoy communication with my partner and believe it is key to a healthy relationship.Also, I am honest, intelligent, hardworking, friendly, polite, caring, affectionate, romantic, attentive, spiritual, and like to keep my life simple.Additionally, I have a positive attitude and a good sense of humor.In addition, I have many other interests including exercise (regularly walking), reading (about business, news, and self-improvement), Karaoke, nature, following news events and professional sports, music, movies, dancing, art, California, and more.Additionally, I do not have any pets and am allergic to cats.Thank you for viewing this part of my profile!WARNING: Institutions and/or individuals DO NOT have my permission to use any of my profile or pictures in any form or forum both current and future. If you have or do, this will be considered a violation of my privacy and will be subject to legal ramifications.

I'm persistently optimistic , always living in the present moment , not letting the past to controll future and present moment. I love yoga, breathing and cold exposure. I adore nature, music and visual arts. I love simple vegan food.

I also practice and teach Tai Chi.

Romantic, kind, and gentle guy with a virtually endless variety of interests. I'd like a partner to help me explore the world, and to build a lasting, loving, and supportive relationship. I am able to move almost anywhere to spend life with my twin flame.Easy-going, witty, patient, loving, compassionate, non-judgmental, and a good & loyal friend. I am very open and emotionally available; some would say evolved. My attitudes and behaviors are very positive, light hearted, and consistent. Chronic hand holder and hug monster. I believe that common values are more important than common interests.Some of my interests: travel, kayaking, biking, hiking, swimming, keeping fit & healthy, yoga, beaches, mountains, volunteer work with special needs people, biographies, classical music, NPR, continued learning, word games, writing Haiku, American Southwest, French language & culture, museums, fine art, foreign cinema, and romance in any form. Animal rights supporter and member of many vegetarian/vegan/raw groups.Thirty-five years of a plant-based diet and a lifelong healthy lifestyle have blessed me with a body, mind and spirit far younger than my chronological age (except for accumulated wisdom, of course). My profile photo is current, and the others are about three years old, but I have not suffered any significant physical deterioration since they were taken.

Health is very important to me, as is laughing. I have been told that I am a good listener. I have been described as considerate, kind, supportive, and caring. I enjoy good conversations, new experiences, learning new things, cycling, Pilates, Qigong, and yoga. I am not much for small talk, and I am not mainstream.I continually strive to improve upon my shortcomings but, at the same time, accept and understand that no one is without them.Although I chose "occasionally" for drinking, "rarely" would have been a much more fitting selection (if it existed).

I like sports, going out, Netflix, and more! Love trying new vegan foods!

I have been a Vegan for 12 year and I can say it has been the best days of my life....

I was born in Perú, and lived in Venezuela for 27 years and now I live in San Diego. I´m vegetarian since 1970. Practice Yoga - Tai-Chi - Kung-Fu - Meditation. As a Biology teacher I care about ecology - the planet - stars, I love nature, national parks. I enjoy travelling and learn from different cultures. As a vegan I am interested in health and new researches in nutrition, medicine, sports.
I describe myself as an independent person, sincere with a great sense of responsability, honesty, serious, respectful, loyalty and looking forward on the spiritual path, able to be repectful to all religions and ethnicities

I am a photographer and nature lover. I also paint, draw, and enjoy ink block printing. I spend a lot of time exploring in nature. I live in a large intentional co-housing community with 4 organic farms on the land, surrounded by fields and woods, with hundreds of waterfalls and dozens of gorges nearby. I enjoy spending time with friends. My home, and many of my neighbors homes are net-zero which means we produce more energy per year than we use. I like to cook. I enjoying foraging for wild foods and mushrooms and canning fresh jam and vegetables. I grow a big vegetable garden in one of the community veggie gardens. I love to camp and go on long meandering day trips. I love watching the night sky, sunsets, sunrises, kayaking, and watching NOVA, NATURE, history, and Sciences specials on PBS. I like to read, mostly nature, history, philosophy and science. One of my favorite things is walking on the beach and beach combing. I always bring home a bag of stones and shells. I am a kind, joyful, warm-hearted, empathetic man.

I am well mannered, respectful and considerate. Would like to meet the potential love of my life.

I'm a free lance musician and love to garden and cook as well. I love to sail, but it seems I prefer spending time with my flowers and vegetables. I love growing my own figs in upstate New York. It is hard work, but the rewards are heavenly. I like a life of simplicity as much as possible in this complicated time in which we find ourselves, and try to use only what I need of the earth's abundance. Being a true friend to those in my life is very important to me.

This is going to sound really stuffy. I know! …I'm really not! I can't possibly impart my personality to you here, so I don't expect to be able to show you who I am based on what I write about myself. I only hope to give you an idea of what's important to me and maybe then we can find out more about each other by talking in person. The woman in my life will always rightfully trust me, and know how much I love and respect her even when I disagree with her, and I will know the same from her when she disagrees with me. She will be very special to me, and she will know how special she is by my actions, and because I’ll probably always tell her! I like to make people smile. I care about what kind of a person you are, how you treat other people, how you make me feel, and that you inspire me to be the best person who I can be. If money is important to you, you should know that you probably have more than me. Some traits that are important to me are: honesty, integrity, compassion, understanding, consideration, loyalty, kindness, letting someone know by words and actions that they are valued. There is so much more to communication than the words themselves. You can say the same words with a different inflection in your voice, or added body language, or varied eye contact and so much more! You will truly know my sincerity when we speak in person, or my intended humor, and you will always know that I understood you and cared about what you said. While a profile is a good way to narrow down important requirements in a partner, none of us really know if the person whom we’re speaking with online is who they present themselves to be. There’s no certainty in knowing that when you meet someone either, but face-to-face meeting gives us more information to work with. The little nuances of communication are important to me when getting to know someone, so I am only interested in getting to know you in person. Of course you can choose the public place! I believe that it's wrong to kill animals. I've been vegan for about 35 years and I am only interested in being with a woman who has the same understanding of the sanctity of an animal's life. If it's true that less than 1% of adult women are vegan, that means that one out of a hundred women is vegan. Maybe out of 10 vegan women I could find the one who cares about honesty, integrity, consideration, communication and fidelity as much as I do. So out of a thousand women, I’ve narrowed it down to one.

Thanks for dropping by. If I'm out feel free to leave a message.I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors.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......."If I had no sense of humor I should long ago have committed suicide." - Gandhi

I'm Ken with the VeggieConnection.com Customer Care team.If you've received a message from me, it is in reply to your support question or to provide you with some assistance with VeggieConnection.com. I'm not currently date, by the way.

Honestly i'm slightly shy and keep to myself yet love high risk stuff like crashing my go kart for fun or VR games.I use to do performing arts (theatre).I dislike going to the movie theatre; I hate sitting down for long stretches of time without being active.I've always adored music!
Love Pop Punk Rock, edgy stuff, Alt Rock also Dancehall & SocaEnjoy the concept of time travel from a quantum physics kinda perspective.

Am an educated, mature, never-married, fit & healthy, self-made professional in Columbus, Ohio area. Am a home-owner/US citizen.My hobbies include cooking, movies, music, health and site-seeing.Lately I have been exploring WebMD for health-related topics, recipes, quiz etc.

Spent my college years protesting outside slaughterhouses and factory farms. Founded animal sanctuary with my wife. She passed away suddenly in Jan 2018. Trying to connect with like-minded folks locally mostly, but not letting geography be a stopper. I like helping others, music (rock, Celtic and bluegrass fiddle, blues, etc), comedies, new experiences, conversing with friends, exercising , movies, games. Going on hikes, biking, cooking. I don’t have a paid subscription yet, so I’m only able to send canned greetings unless you email me...

I am an Artist, Painter, Potter, Musician, and Photographer, and hunt rocks. I worked for 3M for 20 yrs as a Pictorial Artist painting billboards from East Coast to West Coast. I paint mostly in my studio now and also am a Plain Air painter. I hold workshops off and on for Painting and Pottery. I Photograph my work for my landscape paintings. I am an Impressionist, Realist, Cubist, and Figurative Painter. I travel a lot to find new subjects, and I also dig for rocks, canoe, fly fish, and regular fish and horseback ride. I enjoy the outdoors and also like to raise vegetables, and flowers. These are also good subjects to paint. I am at this time in life care taking my 95 yr old Dad, It is a blessing to live that long and see the worlds changes, pretty cool! So I do not have much social activity, and find it nice to converse with people of like mindset! So if you want to talk and get to know each other better then send me a message or greeting preferably a message!

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. 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 the only person, activity in my life, and you happen to like the Whatyouseeiswhatyouget look, then we just may have a winner. Everyone else, thanks for playing.

Man of faith, passion and sensuality
PLEASE NOTE I LOOK LIKE 60.
I am looking for very affectionate, hopeless romantic woman who is very affectionate like me but is NOT interested in casual relationship/sex. I have a lot to offer but I DON'T have any other EXPECTATIONS of you except we have great chemistry and truly care for one another. Please don’t be intimidated by my success, my real success lies in raising three children, who want to raise their children the way I did. Furthermore, not only do my children adore me but so do my six grandchildren. I am not lonely, I have a large family living close by and I am the patriarch of the family. I am very family oriented and very down to earth. Many women from all over the world with whom I have had any relationship, have said in essence, being with you is surreal, it is like being in paradise or heaven. Beyond that, I am sure you want to know more about me, so here it goes.
Patriotic, grateful to be living in USA. outgoing christian (my best friend once said, God is in my blood, but I am not religious only spiritual), living a super healthy lifestyle with whole plant based diet and working out 2 hours, 7 days a week. on HRT for over 30 years, affectionate, sensual.

I enjoy nature and animals. I am not into amusement parks. I much prefer a walk in nature or on the beach. Basically, I like to be outside. I am originally from Ohio. I do not miss winter a bit. Only my family and friends. I went vegetarian in 2008 for the animals and then vegan in 2011. It is better for me, the environment and mostly for the animals.

ive been questioning since 13 ( raised by carnists) went vegetarian at around 15, Vegan at 30 and Raw vegan at 31.
ALWAYS EVOLVING.
If you cant fly, run.
If you cant run, walk.
If you cant walk, crawl..
WHATEVER you do.. just keep MOVING...

I have been conscious of eating for health since my late 20's but have become much more conscientious about it over the past 20 years after doing far more research into it.
I have been very active all my life with mainly endurance sports. Early on with Marathon and Super Marathon running, then Climbing and Mountaineering, lately long distance cycling (I have cycled across Australia 6 times in the past 19 years) and now I have just transitioned over to Kayaking (I am presently training to do the Murray Marathon in November and then paddling across the Great Glen in Scotland from the West Coast to the East mid 2020).
I am an Occupational Therapist and still work part time but my passion is in educating others about the need to eat for health by public speaking and food preparation demonstrations.
I live in a purpose built energy efficient house with solar panels that generate more than twice the amount of electricity as I use. I have a large Aquaponics greenhouse in my back garden that I use to demonstrate efficient use of water to grow organic fruit and vegetables.
I would love to find someone who would like to share in my passions, travel, go to music festivals, the theatre and of course go on long distance active vacations.
I like to think of myself as being gentle and a good listener. I try not to give personal advice (though I will, when asked, always point to the evidence about eating for health) but prefer instead to enable others to come to their own conclusions through listening and discussion.

I have a horticultural background! Currently studying Urban Forestry. My goal is to be an arborist.

I am a fun, genuine, thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and ambitious guy who is truly searching for my match. I am a teacher at the elementary level and I thank my lucky stars everyday for the opportunity to work with kids in a capacity that I love. I prioritize my well being and I embrace an overall healthy and active lifestyle. I am passionate about fitness and nutrition however, I also do enjoy breaking away a bit to enjoy in life's simple pleasures. I am truly open to doing just about anything that isn't a value conflict, as long as it's with the right company. With that said, if you get excited about getting a lift ticket when the snow falls or grabbing your sneakers for a run down by the beach to start your weekend, then we really might be onto something!*While I'm not opposed to communicating through email as it is necessary in this context, I'd prefer to actually talk on the phone.
**Although not ideal, I'm willing to travel near or afar for the right girl.

I am most passionate about Jesus -- Living out my faith in Him -- Loving Him -- Seeking God's will and striving to live it. I live my life in sincere thankfulness and appreciation. I strongly believe in and try to live what's described in James 2:14-20.I am genuinely kind, and a true gentleman. Deeply compassionate and empathetic, I'm a great listener. God has blessed/graced me in many and varied ways.My calling has been to work for Peace and repudiate war and militarism. From 2002 to Nov. 2014, I functioned as a local anti-war organizer in Indiana. I also served, for several years, as a campaign coordinator for a nationwide campaign focused on Peace for Iraq. A Peace activist since the mid-1980's, I love Life and hate war.After a 20-year career in engineering, I've been employed for nearly 15 years as a direct support professional working with individuals with developmental disabilities.I have a tender heart for children and for helping anyone or anything in need.I love all of God's creation -- All of the natural world: animals, plants, insects, the earth, trees, the wind and the rain, and people -- despite all of our brokenness. I strive to be a good steward of His Creation and of my body.I am complex and have diverse interests and appreciations. My life continues to evolve. I am both earthy and very spiritual. Everything has spiritual roots. I believe in upholding and honoring all of Creation.My commitment to Jesus, Peace and non-violence manifests itself in a reverence for all Life. I'm a tree-hugging, progressive-conservative, anti-war, "seamless-garment" pro-lifer. My attitude as a consumer is to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Conservative when it comes to resource use, I believe in leaving a very light carbon and water-use footprint wherever I am, whatever I am doing.I have a strong work ethic and am very serious/passionate about what I hold dear. Yet, I have a goofy sense of humor.Music is very important to me. My musical tastes are broad -- Hymns to Christian heavy metal, Baroque to The Beatles, Christmas jingles to Christmas oratorios, J.S. Bach to Big Country to Midnight Oil, glam rock to contemporary Christian music, progressive rock of the 70's (Genesis, YES, Gentle Giant, KANSAS) to UK to U2 to Neal Morse and Transatlantic, etc.I'd like to have in my life an intensely compatible woman to love and share life with.What good is faith if it doesn't manifest itself in a transformed life?

I am close to retirement and want to travel the world!

WHAT I'M TEMPTED TO SAY, IN HONOR OF ALL GREAT SELF-DESCRIPTIONS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE ME...
"my glass is always half full...of baggage! i am a high maintenance, goal-disoriented drama king in touch with my outer self, a knight in tarnished armor who is uncomfortable in his own skin. quite the social botfly, i keep it surreal. i'm just a homeless necromantic, living life to its foulest."AND WHAT I ACTUALLY DO SAY (in no particular order)...*love music, especially alternative rock and "EDM" (electronic dance music). can't forget i still have a soft spot for eighties/new wave, too.*strong interest in movies (in another life, i would be a director ;). not fond of romantic comedies, though.*have been told i give excellent massages.*like to ride my bicycle. hate to drive but it's a necessary evil.*i like technology (particularly computers, the internet, and MP3), but am not fond of "smartphones. "*dislike prime time television, especially "situation comedies, " "reality tv, " and the new breed of in-your-face talent shows like "america's got talent. "*cannot tolerate cigarette smoke.*love to kiss.*for me, caring for/about animals means letting them be free. that said, i like cats very much, a good deal more than dogs.*have lived in san francisco and las vegas in addition to the st. louis area.I'D LIKE TO ADD:i like to swim the english channel, ride along on alien abductions, levitate, read minds, flatline, time travel, snake charm, dabble in spontaneous combustion, reanimate, campaign for vampire rights, and visit other dimensions. maybe even yours.I’m really good at dowsing (have even done it from a helicopter for the state). placed 3rd in the greater peoria astral projection championships, 2008.am currently working toward a master rank on the arkansas do-nothing machine.

A little about me...
First, let me say I am very happy & hopeful about finally deciding to dive into this process of finding a mate, having been single for 10 years now.
I'm pretty happy as is, doing transcription work from my home office & enjoying my pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) but also believe it would be wonderful to share my life with a new special man.
I am slightly out of shape right now (not a problem a bit of working out and quitting chocolate cake wouldn't cure!) and I've been using my treadmill just about every day for several weeks now.I'd just like to add...
Think I have a pretty good sense of humor, love to laugh, love animals, stopped eating meat in 1994 & have not missed it one bit.
For fitness, I love Pilates & treadmill - have another machine (a hybrid elliptical/recumbent bike) that I haven't put together yet but I expect to like it, too.
I love nature & the outdoors & very much enjoy exploring & experiencing nature's wonders.That's it for now - I will add more as things occur to me or as I am asked.Hope my new (best & last) sweetheart reads this soonly...before I give up & hop off the site again.

I get excited about learning new things. I love animals, nature, art, reading, travel, and to laugh and make others laugh. I am a seeker of serenity, a higher sense of consciousness, knowledge, wisdom, and unconditional love.

I am a fun person that loves to laugh and to make others laugh. I tend to be chivalrous and a bit old fashion at times. But I do have an open mind. I love having intelligent conversations, working out, and solving problems. I enjoy being in the kitchen whether desserts or main dishes, I just love to cook.

I enjoy trying new recipes, especially snacks and desserts. I enjoy being outdoors and keeping fit. I like to walk in the park, enjoy sightseeing, and love a good movie

I live in Honolulu Hawaii for now. I love nature and the blue sky. I have an artistic soul and I love to travel as well. I just visited New Zealand this February. Looking for a best friend/partner/lover to enjoy life together, to support and learn from each other.

Looking for friendship amongst others that have the same values of life as I do.

Work in film and am moving towards doing more of what my heart calls for.
Currently doing my masters in University if metaphysical science... looking forward to doing my own thing and living in the sipunshine!

I am a journalist/publisher who believes all lives are precious. I care passionately about the lives of all animals - not just cats and dogs!

I am kind, dedicated, hardworking and compassionate. My primary work is Construction and I also have all these interesting projects.

Hello there! my name is Youness. Im into adventure, and I enjoy conversations about environment, philosophy, food, endurance sports, cycling etc...
I had lived 10 years in the US, and at the moment Im back to my home country Morocco.Cheers

I am 6-1" tall, dark and handsome :) I am described by my family and friends as an easygoing,friendly,thoughtful, sincere,kind,honest,open-minded,creative and fun to be around.
I have been vegetarian for over 3 years now,but finally became vegan over a year ago. Wish could have done that years ago.
I am into meditation (Release Technique/Sedona Method developed by Lester Levenson.In my personal experience, 1 month of Releasing equals to 12 months of meditation),yoga, martial arts(kick boxing, mixed martial arts),reading,music, movies,financial trading,and traveling.As far as travel...I have been to USA (mostly lived in Texas on and off over 7 years), Canada, Mexico, India,and currently living in England UK.
I am constantly learning,improving and evolving.
One of my favourite quotes: *You can not re-live the past, the future is determined by what you do today, so NOW is the only time.*

I'm a well-preserved, recently-divorced somewhat bookish/nerdy guy who is striving for personal and planetary wellness. That's not much of a sales pitch, but you're still reading, so I'll continue.I'm in the best physical condition I've ever been in and committed to an active lifestyle and healthy diet. I actively follow the developments of "clean meat", insect protein and plant-based food innovation and want to be part of the solution. While I'm a successful IT project manager, I'm envisioning a career transition where I can work in the plant-based food industry and join what seems to me to be a very progressive and exciting area.Apart from fitness and tennis, my main hobby is music (you can hear the noise at soundcloud.com/shankpuppet). I love creating music and videos, and maintain collaborations with my former bandmates for fun and artistic expression. I enjoy and appreciate many styles of music, including rock, jazz, classical (I studied guitar) and folk.I'm somewhat of a homebody who loves to cook and bake while devouring interesting podcasts, especially experimenting with new foods and improvising to come up with new flavours and textures. I also have a bit of a twisted sense of humour.

I'm a nature lover. I like hiking and snowshoeing, watching animals in their natural habitats, and feeling the peace of the land. I love camping.
I enjoy the occasional party or concert. However I'm an introvert (in the true Myers Briggs sense) so I love quiet times at home.
I like in-depth conversations sprinkled with humour and guided by meaning and compassion.
I'm still working on me. I've got a ways to go but I think it would be better, perhaps easier, with the right person.
I'm very independent and have been strong throughout my life but I'm also very sensitive and so it takes me a bit of time and trust to really open up.
This is such a vulnerable thing to do, this online dating. You put pieces of yourself out there for potentially anyone in the world to see.

I was an electrical engineer for 30 years, retired 12 years ago, enjoy my retirement very much. I came to this country 42 years ago as a engineering student and decided to stay this country after my graduation. I love this country. I sincerely believe that in this country, if you work hard enough you can make a good living for yourself.

Nuts about health, love nature, animals and to approach life holistically. I love reading self-help/psychology books and getting to know better myself. I love meditation and everything concerning self-development. I also enjoy travelling and meeting with new cultures. I prefer outdoor activity and socializing is my great passion but also need my solitude meditative moments.

Positive, funny, spontaneous, fit, loving, sensitive, I live in Hebden Bridge and currently work full time as an IT Professional and commute to Sheffield, UK. Like swimming and walking . Have been a keen ski-ier, scuba diver, amateur dramatic actor and also an original singer/songwriter/guitarist which and now only do occasional spots. My latest sport has also been surfing.
