Compassionate, friendly man with many interests--yoga, meditation, social work (just switched from the corporate world), outdoor activities (hiking, cycling, kayaking), dancing, etc. I will try anything (within reason) once. I've even taken singing and piano lessons! An excellent listener and a supportive individual, I can be very insightful - after all, I am a therapist! I would like to build a relationship together with my partner--ideally she and I would contribute to, and create, a unique life together. We would be open to expressing our thoughts and feelings to each other. Silliness also is important to me-it feels liberating to be that way-most of us are too practical as it is. I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons, but you don't have to be. My political views are very liberal - I consider myself a pacifist and against killing of any sort (including animals, but not vegetables - I have to live on something!!) Near NYC.

I'd like to date a woman whom I find attractive on a number of different levels. I need to feel physically attracted to her (no one type attracts me, although Latin/Meditteranean looks have appealed to me), relaxed in her presence, and feel that we have a lot in common - not just interests, but a way of seeing the world. Someone silly/humorous is good, too. A liberal mindset is an absolute necessity. She also needs to be done with previous relationships.
