Would rather lend than bend an ear in exchange for thoughtful, considered perspectives (vice versa is an ideal supplement).
I'm often drawn towards those with a creative streak and their heads askew though riveted at discernable angles: independent, active, with an appreciation for homespun humor and able to not take themselves too seriously while at the same time inclined to seek deeper understanding.
I've a tendency to head out on at least a weekly basis (hike/bike/dgolf/kayak) and enjoy intrepid company. Out of town, out of state or to that new place that sounds intriguing.
I'm self-effacing, fit, (e.g. gutless). Although I rarely need assistance, I will ask strangers for directions with only a modicum of hesitation.

Living in the black while exhibiting a modicum of disdain for the Joneses.

Somehow giving off a vibe that invites others to bust my chops within minutes of first meeting; I'm no milquetoast, mind you, just a fun target for ribbing.
Knowing where I am and where I'm going (geographically speaking).
I have trouble getting lost - unless invited to.
Frankly, I tend to get pretty good at anything I set my mind too.

Dunno. My snappy brand of 'east coast' friendliness?
