I have faith in online dating, but have been unsuccessful in the past. I have dozens of friends in Phoenix, and have a great relationship with my family. I have a good job that allows me to travel a bit and do whatever I want in Phoenix. I'm looking for someone that likes to be dressed up for the symphony one minute, and in the jacuzzi the next. Hope it's not too forward to admit that I'm turned on by sophisticated women with hidden piercings.

I love to read. Really. Latest kick is Dostoyevsky. Previous was Sinclair and Douglass. I hang out with my dog all the time, and hope you will too. Being stumped excites me, and I always chase after the answer. Nothing scares me, for the most part. I bought a kayak recently, and can't wait to drive someplace like Yosemite and use it for a long weekend. I drive an environmentally conscious car, shop at environmentally conscious stores, but I eat red meat like it's going out of style. Pile on the bacon, ma'am. It's ok if you don't - I won't make fun of you for being vegan as long as you don't scowl when I order a slab of beef medium rare.

I've visited around 20 countries all over the globe. I've lived in China for six months and rented an apartment in Rome for a summer. I've hung out at the rim of a volcano on three continents, yet there's so much left to do. Walk to Maccu Piccu, ride a camel to the pyramids (touristy, but f it I want to go anyhow), road trip Patagonia with fly-fishing gear... you can see that I'll need a partner in crime for most of this. PLEASE: don't tell me you love to travel unless you really do. I've been down that road before. I save money so I can wander around the Lourve for days and go see the aforementioned live volcanoes. If you'd rather spend your money on new throw rugs & birthday presents for people that you don't really like and that don't really like you, that's OK, but I don't want to be a part of it.

I've had my heart broken before, and don't look forward to it anytime in the near future. More on that later, if you so choose.

I'd go to Bonaroo or Burning Man if I had someone to jump into that kind of adventure with. I haven't been to a music festival in wayyy too long, and now that the weather's getting better I'm pretty excited about traveling around to see some shows.

Probably worth mentioning that I'm a natural, laid back kind of person. If you've had some enhancements done to the upper body area they're probably good for tips but I'm not interested in that at all. Cherish your a's or b's girls - there are guys out there that appreciate you just the way you are.

Hike to the top of any of our mountains, drink a bottle of vino, and eat dinner afterward at a local deli shop or small pasta place if the previous two activities went well.
