Date someone special from California, United States. If you made it this far then you probably want my scoop. I am not a very materialistic person. I believe happiness comes from within and by helping others, not from owning a bunch of stuff to impress other people with. I derive more joy from having good friendships/relationships then from having a fancy car or giant TV. I am not a total hippy either and understanding the importance of financial security and planning for the future. As a whole, I think people become more enlightened and happier when we lose large portions of our ego and materialism.
My interests include most anything that involves nature and wildlife. Other hobbies include history, government, mountain biking, hiking, exercise, amateur photography, and going to museums and theater. I also like gardening and growing organic vegetables, succulents and Giant Pumpkins. I grow the world’s best tasting tomatoes! Want one?
I have a good sense of humor, am a little sarcastic, and love to laugh. I love funny movies, satire and people who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. I am also a very analytical person who loves to think about life. I am an idealist yet a realist. I strive to be a leader, not a follower. Hence, I never got a tattoo. I believe part of being happy with our self's is in accepting ourselves for who we really are. Not following what the TV and miss-guided peers tells us we should be/look like.
I think I am starting to sound a little narcissistic with the number of times I used I to describe myself. (I guess that is the nature of the Match.com beast). Please don't think that, I do take into consideration the feelings, wants and needs of others, especially in a relationship.
I would like to find a woman who is honest, intelligent & fun to be around. I would like her to be considerate of others but not afraid to say what is on her mind. Several things I find attractive in a woman are: Self respect, smart, loves to laugh, has good morals/values, is analytical, and does not stress over the small stuff in life. I am not looking for someone with major emotional issues. I want to find a woman with a kind heart. Someone who does not like to argue, rather someone who looks for solutions, and who understands life is about being a giver not a taker. Someone who understands harboring anger or spite is unhealthy and destroys relationships. I would like my girlfriend to be health conscious as I am a 5-6 day a week vegan and eat mostly organic foods. Age is not as important as how well we connect but age can be relevant in some situations.
A few more things. My tentative plan is to leave California in 5-6 months. I am planning to work on one of the Native American reservations I visited. Not exactly sure which state yet? My plans could change if I find love. I love to see the US on road trips. It would be a plus if you are into that kind of stuff too. I would like to get married and have kids in the not too distant future. I was honest in my self description and all my pics are recent. Hope we have a lot in common! I need to be more succinct!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
