Hello. I am 33 years old and live in the NW suburbs of the greater Chicago area. I'm bad at this type of thing so I thought some structure will help me get through it.

Looks

Height: 5'11" Hair: Black Eyes: Green Race: Caucasian/Mixed Body Type: Average

Hoobies:

I like to play games, video and table top. I enjoy cooking, my parents were chefs and managed kitchens so I have picked up a few things. I can cook for someone or with someone. You can find me out in a first preserve looking for interesting fungi, plants and flowers at least once a week. I would like to hike more and take more road trips in the near future. I garden in the sitting and summer and have a few plants in the house. I would like to go to more concerts and events but have struggled since COVID to get back into that. I get very passionate about new hobbies and sometimes they stick for good.

Politics/Religion

I'm very liberal but I don't learn all the way to the far left. I am not conservative really in any ways. I believe ACAB, BLM, LGBTQ , Abortion is a choice regarding healthcare and a private issue. I don't see any place for hate and don't intend to associate with anyone with convert or overt hateful, racist, or sexist tendencies. I am an atheist but open to all who are religious and open minded. I love deep conversations on the subject.

Employment and Living:

I have an incredible job that pay decently well. I also work from home 4 days a week, and really 5 days a week most of the time. My schedule is very flexible and I have a good balance between work and life. I currently rent a house but would like to buy sometime in the near future. I have a car and don't mind driving 30 mins to an hour to meet someone who interests me. I have a dog, a cat and two tree frogs. My next project is to convert an armoir to a large vivarium for them.

What I'm looking for:

Something that starts simple and turns into a long term relationship. Rarely does it go that way, but we have to stay somewhere. I am very attracted to intelligence, confidence, and patience. I want a woman who will speak her mind when she wants. I like to work through problems. I have a great job and would like to own property some day with enough room for a decent sized garden. I want to improve and learn for the rest of my life and hope to find someone with the same mindset who shares their goals and aspirations. I enjoy being a homebody and also going out on adventures. Concerts, and live music will usually get me out of the house. Balance and moderation is a huge theme in my life.
