Family first. Love my family and my friends. Close knit with those around me. I'd rather one great friend instead of a thousand iffy ones. I don't like the small talk. Looking for someone real. I live in a small town and enjoy the community and atmosphere, especially after leaving to live in the city for three years.

I love being outside. Walking, biking, hiking, camping. Winter too. I ski, and am looking to get into snow shoeing next year. Any excuse to get my --- outside.

Hard worker. I don't mind working and take pride in working hard. At work and at the house. I'd rather home cook a meal than order out. I do my wash by hand instead of using a washer & dryer. I walk and bike many times when I could instead drive.

Very passionate. What I love, I love, and I'm not afraid to share it. Wrestling. Writing. Basketball. Life. Again, family & friends (can't express this enough). Just enjoy being alive and doing everything possible to be connected to life around me.

Vegetarian for more than half of my life. Love to laugh (I did stand up comedy for a while when I lived in the city). I can be very funny, but can also be very serious. Don't mind making myself look like an --- for the sake of a laugh.

I like to be well rounded. Try to remain athletic through playing basketball, biking, and walking, and also try to keep my mind stimulated through a lot of research, reading, writing, and conversation.

Not into the party scene. I don't smoke and was never a big drinker (I just gave it up altogether 4 months ago). I don't mind just staying home hanging out, especially if I have someone there that I like to be around. I love animals. I have three cats and would like to get more animals in the future.

Looking for someone I feel a connection with. Someone passionate and true. Someone respectable, friendly, and who has a good sense of humor. I like someone who has something to say, a point of view and who is true to that.
