Date men from United States / Colorado / Silverthorne, 30 year old

Date someone special from Colorado, United States. Hi!
At the end of the day Im happy if I was able to move forward, progress and SMILE during my time. For me that says everything. I believe that a persons overall nature matches or often exceeds their physical health. I am someone who loves to be entertained. Sometimes meaningless entertainment, but often balanced with exercise and cross training.
Goals for me would be to learn Portuguese(brazilian) fluently. I have many close Brazilian friends and I would love to be able to visit their homes and immerse myself in their culture. Rio is on my list for the end of 2012 or early 2013. Which brings me into my hobby. 8 years ago I was introduced into something that changed the way I look at everything. My "gamechanger" in life came was just a sport. That sport is brazilian jiu-jitsu. I could go on and on and on about this. But to say Im a better person, and a more goal oriented driven person today, is an understatement. Its my first and last thought daily.
That being said, my match needs to care for herself. Selfworth is sexy. Relationships are about building blocks and if you cant respect yourself and your health, I think it would be hard for you to manage. Ideally I would like a girl to have an interest in a sport, fitness, even if for only half the year.
Above all, I started my description with how important SMILING and being positive and generally happy is to me. Being quirky and comical is untaught and also attractive.
Dont be scared, ask away.
