I am generally an easy-going person, quick witted and like to goof, joke around and don't take things too seriously (unless absolutely necessary). I work out a lot, running, weights, yoga, etc and watch what I eat fairly carefully. I try to eat non-processed foods as often as possible (not afraid to sneak a burger or some other sinful food items here and there - I am no extremist). I am looking for someone who cares about how they look and feel as well. No need to be super skinny or super in shape (geez, I'm not perfect by any means) it would just be nice to have a partner who shares these interests and is not interested in growing fat together just old together.
I am a really good cook and make most everything from scratch. However, I love to eat out and try new foods/restaurants whenever I can. I don't have any hang-ups over food and eat just about anything (low-carb, less sugar tho). I like to taste the local fare when travelling. I once ate a Guinea Pig while travelling in Peru. Please don't tell my kids' Guinea pig if you should meet, I see the way she looks at me as though she suspects but she doesn't need confirmation. BTW no need to try Guinea Pig again, kinda like pigeon - not a lot of meat - more trouble than it's worth.
I love to travel both within the US and internationally, although not so much by myself. I've been to a lot of really cool places but there is still so much to see and do.
I try and live a spirtual life, striving to increase my spirtual relationship with the rest of the world, its inhabitants and nature. I don't conform to any religion and am happy just learning about all of the worlds varying theories right now - no need to commit to any one. Honesty is very important to me, I work hard to ensure I am being honest to myself and others. I will tell white lies, however, in order spare one's feelings, so don't worry I won't be telling you that that dress makes your butt look big or that I don't like your cooking (If however, I start volunteering to cook every meal - it could be a sign).
I'm looking for a partner who is faithful, honest and caring. Someone who is not afraid to show affection, has a positive attitude and is able to be introspective and own up to their own faults when the fault is theirs.
I am not into pretending to be someone I am not and don't play games (although sometimes I can be quite naive about dating and protocol - so you may have to smack me once in a while). I was in a relationship for all of my twenties and thirties and never learned all of the dating "rules" and "games".
I am the AVP for Finance at my work, which means I'm the top finance guy at my company; in charge of budgets, debt, investments, treasury management etc. I really like what I do, where I work and have a great staff of folks that do all of the heavy lifting for me. I am not a slave to my job and like to keep a good balance between work and the rest of my life. I usually keep a 9-5 schedule, balance is so important.
I take issue with okCupid's assessment that I am somehow not ambitious. I've got a CPA and an MBA and have worked my ass off to get where I am. Admitedly, I have slowed my career progression over the past few (13) years to spend more time with my kids. As soon as they are off to College I'll seek a VP position. I don't say this to impress you - just to refute okCupids contention, take me for who I am not my job. I am responsible, stable and a damn good father and partner.
