I figured I'd try my luck again with a post instead of messaging someone off of their post, because frankly, my luck with the latter could only be charitably described as atrocious. Maybe it's something about me, I don't know. I seem to not fit in very well with most people, and that's fine, but there's gotta be SOMEONE out there I do fit with. So about me, I'm 38 years old (obviously), I live in North Dakota (and yes, it is cold, and yes, I do rather like it up here), and I'm a professional chef. I recently started a couple of different business ventures on my own. Minimal overhead (thankfully) but not getting a lot of return on them...yet. Give me time. Being outdoors gives me life, be it gardening, camping, hiking, fishing or hunting. Yeah, you heard me, fishing and hunting, so I'm kinda country at heart, what of it? I also at least like to think that I'm loyal, compassionate, kind, hardworking and honest(maybe to a fault). I get along with pretty much everyone, just so long as you don't try to shove your beliefs down the throats of others (regardless of the belief type).

Superficial stuff:I'm 6'0", a bit on the heavy side, but slowly losing and getting into better shape, short brown hair, eyes that, depending on the day, fluctuate between sky blue, to icy blue to sometimes kind of steely grey. In fact, I look a lot like this: https://imgur.com/HVqJeAk

About you: Single(duh); age doesn't really matter(be legal obviously) nor does race or ethnicity or religion(to that latter, I'm a bit of an agnostic pagan personally, so be alright with that); and frankly, be open to the idea of kids as my long term goal is to find someone to settle down and have a family with. That last is the only that's truly important to me as anything else can be dealt with for the right person. All of that said, fuck it, if you're just looking for a friend I'm open to that too, I have precious few of them as it is. Hope to hear from you soon!
