I cannot lie! I am not 43 - but just a bit older(pic is current). Age is only a number - what is more relevant is that I embrace an active lifestyle. Enjoy anything that involves being outside and being active such as biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing or just a casual walk. Like to meet people and try new experiences, including different kinds of food! Cooking in the kitchen with close friends and a good bottle of wine. Reading a great book. I am happy hanging out at a coffee shop, Barnes and Noble, any state park or the kitchen. Don't watch much TV, but do enjoy Jon Stewart, The Office, 30 Rock, history/discovery channel and stand up comedy.

I am looking for someone that likes similar activities and is willing to develop a friendship first. I tend to be generous, optimistic, honest and loyal and look for the same in others. Physical activity is part of my daily routine to keep fit and healthy.

Please DO NOT email me if any of the following apply to you (no disrespect intended):
- like to watch hours of sports or reality TV
- passionate about gaming, golf or motorcycle riding
- don't enjoy cooking
- don't enjoy outdoor activities
- don't enjoy good conversastion about anything or nothing (if it's with the right person!)
- organized religion is an important part of your life
- practice vegetarian lifestyle
- don't understand the point of total honesty in all things - big or small
- looking for a wife or a hookup :-)

Meet for coffee or a drink after a few emails to see if there is any chemistry in person.
