hi how are you? thanks for looking at my incredible profile. prefer not to sell myself too much here or in chat, in the end you will make your own opinion of me :) so let's meet for coffee or something else! so... are you... looking to fall in love and not just looking to be loved a good judge of character present honest with yourself grounded grateful for what you have humble someone who understands humility and grace compassionate polite (but not always!) confident unscripted open minded free of malice against another civil loyal trusting curious still enjoy learning like to laugh like to be serious :) a net giver someone who can take a joke someone who doesnt take themselves too seriously someone who gives others the benefit of the doubt woah, tall order. i know. ok you can skip 3 of the above (LOL). love, respect and honour are cornerstones of any great relationship. i strive to be all of the above. friends would say (i think!) that i'm patient, generous, kind. im loyal, open, direct, quite succinct, principled and faithful (not in the religious way). folks who get to know me eventually realize that i do not follow convention for convention sake. i do like a good debate or discussion with respect. i stay active volunteering (currently at food banks), playing soccer, doing small renos and walking my small herd in forest (2 furballs). i try to eat healthy and generally succeed. i advocate and help animals at risk when i come across them. i am a bilingual (F/E), mostly-retired creative software developer/designer. I can be iconoclastic and irreverent. i love a good laugh and seek humor a good part of the time although it can be subtle. family and friends are important to me as is maintaining good relationships all-round. i do believe respect is earned. also a dose of skepticism is very healthy. i am passionate about the animal rights, the arts, particularly film and music. as scooby doo says: rooowbydooo!
