***I am vaccinated & wear my mask when out w/ others & want the same from my partner***
I live in the Bay Area & am a former alt model & UC Berkeley graduate w/ a BS in psychology (which I only use these days while talking w/ customers at my bar). I am a bartender trying to start up a jewelry business on the side. Fitness & nutrition are very important to me & I would really love to find a jogging partner. I also love yoga but have yet to find a local spot I love. *Pandemic update* - 2020 really made it difficult for most of us to get the exercise we used to, so still trying to get back to where I was in the "before times". The picture of me in the dress is an accurate depiction of my body today.
I love reading & discussing authors. I’m not at all interested in sports. I’m liberally minded & was a proud Bernie supporter. I’ve gone to “the thing what burns in the desert” many times & hope to return some day. I am an avid animal lover & have worked with hyenas & wolves (big cats are my next dream). I love dark & heavy music, but do have an appreciation for all kinds (although not a huge fan of country or rap). I love adventure & am equally able to be spontaneous or plan in advance (although I'm a bit more of a planner). I enjoy being in nature as well as a night on the town. I appreciate a good c**ktail (gin is my favorite). Learning the art of being in the moment & the suspension of happiness has become an obsession of mine. 😁
MY IDEAL PARTNER
***Must be vaccinated & mask-conscious ***
Everything I’ve above-described myself as being,wanting, or striving for I would ideally love in a partner. I do not want another emotionally unavailable or avoidant partner, & want my partner to have a healthy s*x drive - those are things I absolutely require. Open communication & physical intimacy are extremely important for a healthy relationship, & I refuse to sacrifice them for anyone ever again.
(Paraphrased from another profile because it was so beautifully put) I understand how difficult addiction is. I applaud you if you're in recovery & I do not judge you whether you are or aren't, but I'm not interested in dating someone w/ a current drug &/or severe drinking problem. The past is where that kind of relationship stays for me. I do drink & do imbibe (on rare occasion) one or two more recreational treats, but do not want to excessively, I've got too much I want to accomplish. I’d like for you to feel the same way.
I cannot tolerate right-wing conservative and/or super religious individuals: if you voted for Trump or need Jesus in your life, get the hell away from me. I am also here to find a partner, not hook-ups. Dating others while looking is fine, but bear in mind my objective is to find a partner in life. Also, please don't look like the corporate poster child. I love tattoos and have dated many musicians, so clearly I have a type! 😂
