Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Lyons, 43 year old

Date single man from Colorado, United States. It's a crazy and beautiful world out there, wouldn't you like someone to have your back? Someone who is always there for you in good times and bad, thick and thin? Someone who treats you like a million bucks, but who also calls you on your sh*#. A man who can not only fix the dripping faucet, the flat tire, and the leaky roof, but who can also cook dinner and do the dishes, rock the laundry, sew a button on your jacket, sing while he vacuums the living room and scrub the toilet. Someone who is educated and has studied philosophy, religion, and the laws of physics; someone who knows what's really important in life. Well, look no further because I've been doing all of that stuff on my own and I'm looking for someone who has done the same so that we can do different stuff together, because with all of the time we'll save doing that stuff together we'll have plenty of other time to do fun stuff! I'm a dreamer, but I'm
not the only one and I'm also a doer as I've followed my dreams all of my life and I believe that you get what you give, so I give a lot. I'm kind, compassionate, open minded, and integrity is mportant to me, as is humility. I'm also super romantic. When in doubt, I use kindness; I don't think I will ever regret being kind, but will ways regret the times I am not. You won't find me in a church or a gym, unless it's the church and gym of mother nature where I hike, climb, swim, bike, backpack, meditate, contemplate, extemporate, and help little old ladies cross the street.
I love my career. I love learning and in staying in touch with technology, fashion, politics and popular culture. I love to read and enjoy art of all forms. I love to camp out, even if only in my backyard. I'm an outdoorsman and conservationist, but I'm not a crazed adrenaline junkie, more of an old school mountaineer. I like to fix stuff and build things, I was a VW mechanic in Berkeley and a marine mechanic on Martha's Vineyard. I loved living on an island and here we're all on this big island of Earth. I'm a resourceful man and I'm usually, if not always, prepared. I can light a fire in the rain and find my way home in the dark without a flashlight. I believe in everything in moderation, fanaticism is not something I aspire towards whether it be for sports, music, exercise, nutrition, or spirituality... I dabble in it all, but I'm a slave to none. I've got mad skills in the kitchen, but I could also recite a poem by e.e. cummings or write a song for you. Music is my biggest passion and I play a bunch of different instruments in many different styles; it keeps life from getting boring.
I travel a lot and I have a lot of stories to tell.
I'm looking for someone on a similar path of learning and growing, someone who knows that life is not about what's on the surface, but what's inside. I'd like to meet someone who is curious and truly enjoys a simple life, someone to inspire and who inspires me every day, someone with whom I could possibly start a family or join one that's already begun, or maybe it's just the two of us.

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. Midwestern kid at heart... polite to a fault, hardworking, and adventurous... I've recently moved to Colorado from NYC to start a small business. I love it here... the mountains, the microbrews, bluegrass music.. felt right the moment I stepped foot in CO. I've been lucky to travel around the world in my career - but I think I may have finally found a place to put down some roots.
I go to the gym 3-4 times a week to stay in shape, but not fanatical. I really like to cook and would like to get better at it, but need someone to practice with. The last 20 years I've lived in cities so dinners out, museums, benefits, theater, sporting events have been the norm... looking foward to buying some flannel and a pair of winter boots and mixing it up with the locals until they consider me one of their own. Still not sure I understand why people go camping if they have perfectly good homes to go to at night, but willing to be enlightened on this subject.
