I'm looking for a woman comfortable in her skin and willing to let someone a little to the left of the mainstream earn his way into her heart through attention, support and devotion.
We should always treat people like we would like to be treated. If people work together and support each other anything is possible.
I like to spend time outdoors,camping and traveling, or just near the grill for family parties. Inside my crib I'm a TV and music geek with a dog and few cats, who rule.
Would love to find someone to take to concerts and music festivals around the midwest during the summer. I'm a musician who really likes live music and long summer nights looking at the stars. I love camping and sitting around the campfire.
I'm a photo/journalist by day and night, and a retired DJ, and a busy community organizer, political activist, and local historian, with much interest in government affairs and the political world. I always fight against status qou and for economic and social justice for all.
I love women to be women, such as when they wear sexy outfits and dance the night away while drinking a little socially with me. I work hard and like to play hard too.
I also love a woman who can just walk out of the house with no make up on or need little time preparing just to answer the door.
I guess I've always been interested in a tomboy who could put on a dress and knock your socks off. Someone who appreciates the arts and nature and a world view of humandkind would be perfect as I'm very liberal in my views. Tolorance of others and an appreciation for diversity is also important.

A perfect first date would be centered around what the woman would like to do. If she wishes the man to set up the date I would plan a trip to a museum or street fair, with lots of energy around. An arts or music festival would be great.
Finding the right spot to sit down and talk while enjoying something different or ethnic to eat, while getting to know each other would also be nice.
As the sun goes down a long walk near water while holding hands would add to the mood.
Next, finding a place to dance the night away, followed by a little one-on-one time under the stars or near a fireplace would leave us dreamy for more.
