I like to laugh and make people think. But, I'm not a big fan of laughing at others or their misfortune (unless, of course, Wipeout is on the telly). My humor is more on the dry/self-deprecating side.
I'm looking for someone who is physically active and has a certain balance in their life between work, play, adventure, and rest. You should also be ready and willing to try new things (but, if you truly don't enjoy it, please know that I won't ask twice).

I have most necessities in life covered. The major part I'm missing is a kindred spirit to explore the world with.

When I'm meeting someone for the first time, I generally like it to be activity oriented and hopefully outside our normal comfort zone and where we can still talk. So, something like bowling, playing pool, a hiking trip would be fun for me and hopefully start the relationship off on a more natural note (rather that just meeting at a nice restaurant and commenting on the merits of the bouillabaisse).
