My name is Matthew and I am an attractive, funny guy who is not afraid to say he loves puppies. I am also a passionate and staunch environmentally-minded individual who spends most of his time outdoors. I do a lot of backcountry backpacking in Colorado, where I attended college, as well as mountain biking . My views on the environment and our impact may seem somewhat unorthodox, but I'll leave that for later. I must admit I was opposed to the idea of online dating services because of the stigma that is involved with meeting people online, but I have decided that I should join the new millenium at some point. If you know what I mean then we already have something in common. See that's one.

I am in search for a woman that is athletic, funny (while sense of humor is relative, you know what is funny), and adventurous. What I am looking for, is a woman with whom I can enjoy a good hike with. A girl not afraid to get dirty (stop chuckling.) I admire women who have passion for a particular ideal no matter what that may be. I find that a person who is involved in a purpose that is much larger than themsleves is more likely to have a greater world perspective.
