What I appreciate most in a partner is integrity, wisdom and humor. I would do best with someone who is responsible and has a good sense of who he is, has interests and hobbies he enjoys and is pretty laid back. I would also love to meet a man who is engaged in life, takes care of himself and shows true compassion for others. An affection for dogs is worth some super-mega-extra-bonus points!

While I'm far from perfect, some of my more endearing qualities are that I'm bright, funny, kind, playful and good-natured. I value learning no matter what the subject as long as it piques my interest. I have an active mind and an open heart. An artistic outlet for me is drawing (merrett.net). I'm flexible and a minimalist. I enjoy camping, hiking and the outdoors.

Coffee or an adult beverage and check for sparks..........
