How would you describe yourself?
EDIT: 10-6-19
Currently I am looking for a long term partner as well as an activity partner. I tend to spend large amount of time driving down long forgotten roads to camp sites and hiking hubs. All year around. I also go to try and seek out new hot springs as soaking in them is THE BEST. and on top of that im starting to get into rock climbing.
So I figure that when I wrote this it was a pretty fleshed out I mean I think it's important to be truthful when talking about yourself so that you don't have to worry about misunderstandings brought about by past miscommunications. But I think I was lacking in accurately describing what it was that I wanted.
I would like it if my partner and I were able to share emotional intimacy as well as physical intimacy (I have noticed that the first one tends to be left more often than not). Such things take time and thus I am looking for a long term relationship.
I feel that it would be ideal if my partner was between 24-44 years of age (ten years below and above me, thats a good band to shoot for right?) However thats a soft limit. What it really boils down to is if my potential partner has a maturity and activity level that comes reasonably close to my own. Someone could be older/younger and we could be a match, or one could be the same age as me and be a complete mismatch.
I tend to want to avoid those who have kids, only because of the fact that a lot of the activities could be dangerous or two demanding for one quite young (Hiking up Angels Landing? Half Dome? Ocean Kayaking? Southwestern US Backpacking?) And I rather not risk a life necessarily.
Race doesn't matter to me, we are all flesh and blood after all. Why would the top inch or so of skin cause a radical shift in how one perceives a person? I believe that it is the actions that define a person.
I am really wondering that, Maybe my situation is strange in the fact that i'm such a combination of opposing things that maybe there isn't someone out there for me? Lets see starting from the beginning. I graduated high school like ho people tend to do. Did virtually nothing for the next three years until I decided I should become an adult and so I went to college, graduating with an AA in general studies, BA in Photography and a Minor in Geology and Astronomy.
By this point I realized that maybe an art degree wasn't a way to go. I had specialized myself too much (not many people are in the market for full plate daguerreotype landscapes taken on a large format camera by somebody who went hiking for weeks to find the right spot and the right time to get the shot they thought was right. I changed it a second time to Aviation Mechanic but before I could finished the courses my funding ran out so I head to leave college. I went from a university in Alaska to living and working in the national parks, using my motorcycle to get around. Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Yosemite. Four years in total until I moved back to where I first began, San Jose. Primarily because my sister needed help with things, It also doesn't hurt that i'm taking the time to trigger a career change going from working in the national parks, running tours and hosting “One Hour Cram Lessons” to working with my hands (something i've always been good at) as an automotive mechanic.
I guess now onto my habits and tendencies.
I am a liberal, I am actually pretty far left leaning, actually im way to the left on just about every topic but one (can you guess which one?). I am a male (If you couldn't tell by the picture) and I am a pretty big nerd when it comes to anything space related like astronomy or spaceX. I am also a pretty big geology buff. I cant say that I am a history buff yet but I am currently trying to push my worldview beyond what it is now. I like to think that I am a Naturalist, I tend to subscribe to Atheism and I try to follow the Naturalism and Humanism branches of philosophy. That being said I do have definite plans in the summer to spend long stretches of time camping out in the western US exploring as far south as Grand Canyon as far north as the Northern Canadian Rockies. It would be nice to have a travel companion. I don't do drugs, I never have. Well actually thats a lie. I have sleeping problems so I use OTC sleeping pills. I worry about my body image as well as my body in general, because of that I stopped drinking halfway through college. I never bothered to do drugs, all my money at the time was going to large sheets of film for my photography.
I guess long story short, Im a guy thats taking the long route through life. I have had some roadblocks but then again haven't we all? I've fallen down but I make a point to get up, learn from my mistakes and keep moving forward. I am good in very small groups (2-6) but any more than that and I tend to become a wallflower. I would like a companion that understands that nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes but the key point is that one learns from those mistakes.

I guess that I should probably write something in here about my ideal match or "who I want to meet" but in reality I feel that someone should not put up limiting criteria when trying to find somebody for a long term relationship. If two people happen to fall in love it should be because they legitimately care about that person. There needs to be a mental/emotional connection before anything else. I hope you find me interesting enough to email. And if not I still hope that you find somebody to complete you... Even though the idea that somebody needs somebody else to be "complete" is an antiquated idea.
