Date men from United States / California / Arcata, 36 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I am a genuine, kind person who can also be pretty sarcastic and cynical. I look at the world and see much beauty, love, pain, hate. But find relief in both comedy and sympathy.
I have a very strong work ethic yet appreciate the down times. I work as a cook at vegetarian restaurant and also own a lawn care business. I am at a point in my life where I want to make money and eventually own property. I recently graduated from Humboldt State with a degree in Music with an emphasis in Percussion.
I love living here on the Northcoast. It has so much to offer for outdoor fun. I love all of it. Especially river rafting and tubing, snowboarding, hiking, biking.
I'm looking for a partner who is down to earth and has a strong sense of self. My ideal mate has a great sense of humor and is intelligent.
I'm trying out the online dating scene because I despise the bar scene and have never been real lucky with "conventional" dating.
