There are still nice guys out there.

I like who I am. I'm honest, kind, compassionate, down-to-earth, fun, caring, affectionate, young-at-heart, pro-choice, intelligent, passionate, creative and liberal ... and proud of it.

I care about the environment and treatment of animals. I recycle and buy cruelty-free products and organic food when I can. I boycott Wal-Mart. I believe in evolution.

I'm a moderate drinker, usually wine with dinner, although have been known to enjoy a good margarita on occasion. I have an open mind about alternative remedies, but don't reject Western medicine, either. Tennis is my favorite form of exercise, followed by biking and hiking.

I have eclectic musical tastes. I enjoy reading and love movies, especially independent films. I may be the only guy you ever meet who likes The Jane Austen Book Club.

I have no religious faith, but do have a spiritual side largely influenced by Buddhism and Taoism. Imagine a blend of Joseph Campbell, The Tao of Pooh and Chief Seattle to get a sense of my spirituality. Basically, I do my best to live a life of compassion, treat others (including animals and the Earth) as I want to be treated, and try not to get too attached to things.

THUMBS UP: Shakespeare, cats, good wine, the Beatles, sharing the Sunday NY Times, Macs, loons, cooking for someone I love, NPR, the second movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony, Monty Python, The New Yorker, cartoons before movies, long walks, warm hands, and slow, sweet kisses.

THUMBS DOWN: hunting and fishing, the Confederate flag, cigarettes and cigars, arrogance, beets, FOX Noise, Bible-thumpers, NASCAR, reality TV, and Limbaugh, Palin, Beck et al.

A few of my heroes: Rosa Parks, Michael Moore, Jimmy Carter, Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, Julia Butterfly Hill, The Dalai Lama, Pete Seeger, Natalie Maines.

My favorite quote: He who thinks he knows, doesn't; he who knows he doesn't know, knows.

I'd like to make a difference in the world and share my life with a kindred spirit in a loving, passionate, intimate, committed, forever relationship.

I think happiness is even better when it's shared.

Anything we want it to be so we can get to know each other better, preferably in a setting that's not so loud that we can't hear each other.

Hmm, that's a loaded question, isn't it?

You are compassionate, down-to-earth, kind, fun, affectionate, intelligent, pretty, open-minded, sweet, passionate, adventurous and nonjudgmental.

You're not just tolerant of others’ differences, but accepting. You like cats. You take care of yourself. You like to explore new things and places. You share my values about animals and the environment. You have a good sense of humor, keep things in perspective, and can laugh at yourself.

You understand the importance of openness and good communication in a relationship. You're not afraid of commitment. You are honest with your feelings. You like to hold hands.

You don’t play games. You wear little or no makeup. You don’t smoke. You would never wear an animal fur. Bonus points if you voted for Obama.

I'm a vegan, so mega bonus points if you are, too (or a vegetarian).

It would be great if we have some common interests, but not necessarily everything. It's fun learning new things from and with each other. In addition to chemistry, I think the really important parts of a relationship are mutual attraction, shared core values, passion for each other, honesty, respect, good communication, intimacy and commitment.

I'm not looking for perfection; I'm certainly far from it. Maybe it sounds corny, but I'm looking for my soul mate: a partner, companion, confidant, lover and best friend all at once.
