Date men and women from United States / California / Port Hueneme, 39 year old

I like to stay active (running, surfing, martial arts, gym, tennis, hiking, biking, skateboarding with my dog and recently stand up paddling my my friends) and am always up for new challenges (as long as there are no needles, liver or spiders involved, see exception above).

While I’m open-minded and enjoy engaging a diversity of views, I’m incompatible with people who are very conservative or stridently religious. And I do not tolerate ignorance, pettiness or bigotry of any sort.In my view, eating well (organic whole foods,) exercise, and a positive attitude are the foundation of a good life.

Although chemistry is usually the ultimate determinant, there are some basic requirements of my potential partner.
