I am asking for thoughts, insights, and advice about my dating profile. Here is the text from it.
My self-summary:
What I look for most in a potential partner are compassion, good conversation, mutual physical attraction, and a similar lifestyle.
I am passionate about simple living and I'm a practicing minimalist. I own very few things. It is perhaps noteworthy that I don't have a TV, a cell phone, or a Facebook.
I enjoy reading, daily meditation, and I am very involved in my community through volunteering.
I have an awesome rescue dog. His name is Harlan.
And I don't mind saying I am a little bit country boy, a little bit Vulcan, and an old school liberal.
What I’m doing with my life:
Reading, meditating, taking classes, spending time with friends.
As for work, I have been doing some financial research at a university for a few years now.
I’m really good at:
Spooning.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food:
Books: Steppenwolf, Walden, Cat's Cradle, Infidel, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Welcome to the Monkey House, Redefining Realness, Walden On Wheels, Blindness, The Cave, Beneath The Wheel, Meridian, The Big Tiny, Brave New World.
Movies: Idiocracy, Happy Happy, Planet of The Apes (all of them! haha), Mad Max II and VI, Food, Inc.
Music: David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Donna Summer, Nina Simone, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Hank Jr., and Alice Cooper
Food: Indian, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, home cooking. I also love fresh fruits -- berries, grapefruit, bananas, melons, oranges, papaya, mango!
I don't own a TV, so I am unfamiliar with most shows.
Six things I could never do without:
I am a minimalist and live very simply, so I don't need much to be content.
A book is ever-present in my life though I keep my collection at the public libraries.
I spend a lot of time thinking about:
The future of humankind and the environment.
On a typical Friday night I am:
Hanging out with friends, fishing at a lake, cycling along the river, or maybe reading a book.
You should message me if:
You have that kind of chutzpah! haha
You are also looking for a potential life partner.
You would like a platonic travelin' buddy!
