Date men from United States / Colorado / Fairplay, 33 year old

Date someone special from Colorado, United States. Looking for a woman I can relate to. I love to snowboard, hike, pick flowers & berries, go on adventures, hit hot springs and enjoy life. Want find someone like minded. Would like to find a gal to go to shows with or jus' chill. Ideally a woman who likes doentempo, reggae, hip hop, indie rock, funk, hard jazz...or at least someone with a passion for good music whichever genre.

Meet a man from Colorado, United States. Myself: Bad points first or good ones? Hmm.
Well, I 'm stable and try to be responsible and prepared (ex-boyscout, heh).
I collect a lot of nonsense (toy's, games and such). I believe in courtship first, everything else later. Though deep inside I'd like a hot, steamy encounter as much as the next person, but I'm careful about it (if you get my meaning).
I have almost no experience dating, which follows suit with the rest of my experience in that arena. I like dressing up in costumes for various activities (ren-fest, gaming etc.), but I'm far more reserved than I'd like to admit. I'm also very shy around attractive women, to an unfortunate degree.
The living with my parents thing is far more involved and complicated than I'd like. I'd like to, and am able to, move out, but I have certain responsibilities, that I can't just abandon, so, I'm kind of stuck that way. I figure a girl deserves a fair warning about things like that.
In the last five years, I've been getting more active in my lifestyle, and healthier in my eating choices. Somewhere along the way I decided that if I ever wanted to get into a relationship, I want it to be with an attractive person, but it would be hypocritical of me to be this chubby, lazy slob in return. I figure I want to look good for the person I care for, and I want them to want that in return (hopefully that makes sense). But I'm not the type who can just up and change everything at once. But over the last 2 years I've gone from 260 lbs, to 218 lbs. With more to come, hopefully that counts for something. It certainly makes me feel better about myself, I can say.
I'm also, apparently, an A-typical nice-guy. Which women seem to not find very attractive. O well, such is life.
I'm also very patient, I'll wait years to achieve a goal. I believe patience is more than a virtue, it can be a way of life sometimes. So I guess I'm also not very spontaneous.
I'm fuzzy, so to speak, though not on top, heh.
I'm rather sarcastic and ironic in equal parts, but it doesn't come across very well when I'm writing something like this. Alas poor me.
My Perfect match:
Are they serious? My dream girl, as it were? That which I will compare all other women to?
That's mean, and quite possibly vicious. How about a compromise? I'll list some things I'm looking for in a girl, but not the whole enchilada. After all, "variety is the spice of life, opposites attract, and never go hiking in a thunderstorm on Tuesdays"......supposedly.
She likes to dress in costumes when appropriate, I'd like a girl who likes to go to cons as much as I do, not necessarily the same cons, but similar at least.
She likes to collect things, there's no girl on earth (I think) that collects GI Joes, but I can think of quite a few that have a similar collection of figurines as myself.
She's funny, maybe not in a "everyone laughs" kind of way, but funny to me. Sarcasm and a wonderful disdain for tourists.
She's into being totally lazy and active...in equal measure.
She likes sleeping in, cuddling, shopping and going to the movies.
Must love dogs.....also a decent movie.
As for movies, she likes....movies (are there people that don't?).
She's not into getting drunk, it's not fun...or funny. (yes my chances just decreased...I know, but it's a personal thing).
She's attractive to me.
And especially, She's attracted TO me, hopefully for more than my extra manly chest hair, bet hey, I'm not picky.
That should be enough for now, there's always more detail we can go into, but I'm not looking for a person who would do these things for me. I'm looking for a person who does these things for themselves. A certain compatability as it were.
