Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Durango, 46 year old

Date men and women from Colorado, United States. I am unconventional but not wierd. Sarcastic but not cynical. Quiet yet outspoken. Not a paid subscriber.
I value things like , being able to work and play outdoors, intellligent people, genuine people, where I live, HUMOR, music for the soul, cofee in the morning, time for travel, family, especially time with my baby girl. I think time should not be wasted doing anything other than the things that I value the most. I'm probably not going to be the guy that's all "I'm adventurous and willing to try anything" cause I already have my adventure hit list, . That said, I'm not at all uncompromising. I'm really easy to get along with. I just know what I like.
See, I don't do things half way. That's why I'm good at the things I do.
I've met so many different types of women and really appreciate that, in itself. I probably have a preferred "type" but that is a broad definition. I am attracted to confidence, uninhibited silliness and humor, physical beauty/ hotness, but it depends on the person. I guess if you don't particularly have the qualities of this great woman, maybe you have some great qualities of that one. Even if they're all crazy (snicker). That's the beauty of people- we're all different with interesting combinations of caracteristics.
I'm a rock climber. It is my lifestyle, part of my soul, my identity. I've been climbing nearly my entire life, so I'm past the obsessive stage (that's good). Lessons I have learned on the rock apply to life; balance, sometimes you fall, sometimes you go quiet, with an open mind and you are rewarded! I suspect some think it's a better lifestyle than the guy whose life is spent watching sports on TV and drinking beer. I'm not necessarily looking for a woman who climbs though, just to be understanding and supportive . And this is me.

Meet people from Colorado, United States. I've lived in Durango since 2005 with my two sons who are now 7 and 9 years old. They spend half the time with me and the other half with their mother. (It's an easy divorce, so don't worry about conflict).
I'm a teacher and recently started a Lego robotics program for kids and it's been a great success. Before that, life here was a struggle but since I've been self-employed things look much better all around and I feel ready to date again--that's a challenge for us nowadays, isn't it?
Other than raising my boys well, I've had a number of adventures that make for good stories. One involved a blind mountaineer and I have the odd distinction of having been portrayed in a made-for-tv movie. There are other stories, some comic, others tragic but every one of them true. I would like to meet someone with a few good stories of her own.
I have a rich spiritual life. I'm Jewish and while not particularly observant, certain holidays mean a great deal to me. More recently, I've become a part of a circle of Native Americans and we meet regularly for rituals and ceremonies, which has been quite an adventure. If you were half-Navajo and half Jewish that would be awesome but since that seems unlikely, go ahead and be what you are. Just don't try to convert me, okay? Maybe even wait until the 2nd or 3rd date before sharing your ideas about the Universe. How about this: the first one to mention God has to pay for dinner.
I'm not in particularly poor condition, but after a year and half of pulling my business together, it's time to get back in shape. What this should mean to you is that I don't require perfection. Progress is good enough for me.
Teaching has always been my greatest passion. When I'm with my students, I never feel like I should be doing anything else and I have no sense of effort or time passing. Second to that is my love of the natural world and the simple joy of making things with my hands. That could include a fabulous dinner for you. I have a talent for finding the knot between your shoulder blades and reflex that makes me smooth it out. A kind word and coy glance from you will smooth out the knots between mine.
I'm looking for someone who is interesting, reads a lot, has her issues largely worked out and can control her temper. That last one is very important. We all get angry sometimes, but nobody should be anyone's punching bag. For my part, I've found a great deal of peace in being less judgmental and reactive. I'd very interested in a conversation with someone about how they did the same. Kissing is a very good thing. I like to do it. Lets both have fresh breath and not shy from letting the other know when they could use a mint.
As for a relationship, it would be very nice to have someone to do things with, particularly on Sunday evenings after I drop the boys off. I've gotten used to being alone and while my sex drive is still there, I'm not interested in hooking-up for a quicky. I'm looking for someone to write poems for and who enjoys being read to. Let's start with dinner and a hike and see how that goes.

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I can talk about most anything... except myself apparently.
I have lived in Durango for the past 15 years after 8 years in The Air Force and then college. A recent job change has me looking at life a little differently. I enjoyed my old job and still volunteer with them, but I truly enjoy my new employment because of the people I get to work with.
For that second job most of us in Durango find our self's doing, I have started up a little video production company. I have shot video professionally in the past and still do, but I find myself enjoying the creativity of editing more and more.
I like to give back enjoy being a part of what makes Durango a great place to live and play... I volunteer with the fire department, I am on the Snowdown Board of Directors, and I shoot video for the Durango Roller Girls. If it sound like I'm busy... making time for the right person would be fun as well.
As for a relationship... I guess that I am looking for someone who makes me laugh. I think of myself as funny and really want someone to laugh along with.
I tend to be better at answering questions than in trying to figure out what others might want to hear, so if you have any questions for me.... send them along.

Meet a man from Colorado, United States. I'm here in hopes of opening a door to finding someone to share all that I enjoy in life. I'm honest and trustworthy and not into games. I have great communication skills, am thoughtful, kind, and considerate. I'm not perfect by any stretch, but I am a good man.
I love being outdoors. Activities such as hiking, mountain biking, skate skiing, downhill ski, peak bagging, slot canyons, international travel, and being on the water. I truly find my peace and spirituality in the mountains first though.
I've lived around the world while growing up. After I jumped out of school I worked hard growing a successful business. Now I don't have to work as hard and am at a point in life where I can enjoy more of my time doing what matters most to me. If you have no time to enjoy 'some' of the passions I have outside, it probably won't work for us.
Yoga has become an almost daily part of my life and continues to help me find balance in life. What I bring outside of the practice in class only makes me a better person.
I like challenges, keeping myself healthy and my mind active so I'm rarely bored. Life is so short and there is so much to enjoy. My favorite word? Breathe.
My ideal match would have a passion for the outdoors, staying healthy, and being fit. She would enjoy good conversation, show mutual respect, and have some interests of her own that she was passionate about as well.
What is not said above is that there is a lot of just 'day to day' living that happens in life. Sharing this part of our lives, knowing that there is someone there as your partner for the ups, the downs, and the mundane...this is something I am looking for as well. These 'non adventures' of just relaxing on the couch watching a movie or sharing a meal together create the backbone of a relationship, and this is what I am looking for as well. Is this you? Let's find out.

Date single man from Colorado, United States. I like to find someone, that first of all, is a believer in God.

Meet people from United States. I'm Content to roam the mountains and hills, Taking pleasure in the simple things life has to offer. The beauty of this natural world with all it's busy little creatures chasing out they're destinies. The urban masses slowly making they're way into my domain. I will find new mountains and valleys to call home.............................. Now at last I'm drawn towards the mountain in the east. It fascinates and captivates gives my heart a peace. For the mountain holds the sunlight in the prison of the night, till bursting fourth from rocky chains, the valley, floods with light. My match would be a slim attractive woman who is good at heart, and a lover of nature. A woman who would be comfortable doing anything from snow skiing to rock-hounding in the desert. Someone who knows how valuable friendship and love really is. A woman who can sit out on a starry night and contemplate the mysterious reasons for it all. Also I would prefer her to be intelligent if not a genius. I am looking for a partner in life not a one night stand ..................................................
...............We are planets to each other, drifting in our orbits to a brief eclipse, each of us a world apart, alone and yet together like two passing ships. We are islands to each other building hopeful bridges over troubled seas, some are burned or swept away and some we would not choose for we're not always free.
