I can only summarize how I perceive myself at this moment ....

Due to some self-reflection, i've discovered the following:
my mbpt is enfj

I take a zen-like approach to my goals & do my best on a daily basis to move toward them in a positive direction. I'm not a type 'A' personality, nor do I want to date one.

architect with small practice - need one?
recognized, accomplished & awarded
with a big story to tell
i like to travel as much as i can
i have tons of friends i like to visit/hang out with

i'm a good architect
i'm also a good outdoorsman - a good camper & traveler
i also am great at organizing group trips
i organize a weekly history-based cycling group
sometimes with over 100 people each week
i'm curious & a fun guy to be around
i am well loved

physically - tall, beard, shaved head, my eyes
people say i have a strong presence

books: travel, architecture & insightful books

music:
anywhere from 80's underground alternative to all the current indy lo-fi music that hipsters listen to
some of my old school favs include:
Galaxie 500, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Replacements, the Animals, Nick Cave, early REM & the Pixies
and the newer stuff:
Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Beirut, the National, Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird

shows: i haven't watched t.v. in over two years
(i've been doing more reading, cycling & swimming lately)
though i've netflix'd True Blood, Weeds & Six Feet Under
i tend to watch PBS otherwise: McLaughlin Group, History Detectives & Globe Trekker

food: dolsot bi bim bop, pho, paprikosh, pollo con mole'
i'm not much into going to being waited on (in a formal sense) but i love good food
mostly when i go to a restaurant, its some sort of Asian
i do like salted-caramel ice cream
at home & on an every day basis, i eat very simply - real food
though i do like small home-cooked meals with good people

other interests include:
adventure travel & road trips
cycling - i organize popular bike rides around the city
as a means for people to appreciate their built environment & form some healthy camaraderie
camping/hiking, mountains, swimming holes & beautiful natural places (like national parks & the like)
kayaking, snorkeling & spelunking
farmer's markets
art openings & events
architecture & urban design/redevelopment
sustainability
maps & geography
urban exploration, especially by bike
i have a fascination with abandoned buildings
i'm swimming about 3 times a week lately
(and some yoga/lifting weights)

a good attitude
ability to travel, see and explore
people i care about
i could do without most all my personal possessions
(except for my bike & my tent)

traveling, exploring, seeing/experiencing something new
the importance of people in my life and how grateful i am

lately, i've been focusing on self-growth & the value of relationships

its so incredibly varied: I'd usually start with an art opening, an event or party, cycling or just staying home to read or create my-time. on cooler nights, i'll make a bonfire & have a few friends over
often though, I like to get out of town, visit friends, go camping if the weather's nice

i'm actually looking for a connection
maybe a committed thing with someone i mesh with
kinda hard for me to find

i work best with other like-minded natural smart adventurous guys that fall outside of conventional stereotypes or categories

while ultimately looking for something ongoing / substantial with someone worthwhile, i'm open to a relaxed sort of connection

Above all, I’m looking for someone who will appreciate me for me.
