I can best be described as being happy, sincere, honest, friendly, fun. I am not looking to mess around with anyone's heart and emotions. I have a very full and complete life; lots of close family and friends, many hobbies & interests. So, anyone who catches my eye/interest MUST be a pretty special per! I am happy & comfortable being single, I am not one of those clingy guys who needs a partner to take care of them. I want my partner to compliment me, to challenge me and overall to inspire & enable me to be my best self! I've sort of always believed in the "together we are better" philosophy of a relationship. I am a pet owner [Chocolate Lab], family oriented (no ren of my own), university educated ( 2 degrees), professionally employed (same employer since 1999, physically fit and active, like to getaway on weekends for fun... I have loads of interests and hobbies... I enjoy & try to regularly participate in most of the following....

I live an active and relatively healthy lifestyle. However, I love to eat, drink and be merry! I also enjoy quiet, less active pursuits. I can really hold the couch down on a lazy Sunday watching movies, documentaries, reading or surfing the net. I love music and going to live shows. My musical tastes range from Alexifire, Beastie Boys, City & Colour, Death Cab For Cutie to Jack John, Tool, Volbeat, White Stripes. One of my fav Winnipeg concerts was Prince. AWESOME SHOW!! The Eagles & Johnny Cash & some Willy Nel seem to be the only country acts I like. Im not about to run screaming from the room if Country music is playing, its just not my preference.possess emotional intelligence.

My Ideal Person I like positive, upbeat people. Im looking for a dynamic, positive, fun woman to try new things with and enjoy each others company. I have a wide variety of interest and would like to find a woman with the same. I prefer a woman who is easy going, relatively low maintenance [no uber Princesses], I strive to live a drama free, authentic life; so, I can only be with someone who believes the same.

I value a good sense of humour and the ability to laugh at yourself. A quick, slightly bent 'wit' is good too! I find honesty, integrity & intelligence to be VERY attractive qualities. Im drawn to creative and dynamic individuals who see the bottle as half full!
