I am not looking for god or religion and am more interested in the mysteries of the Universe than someone's version of god. I checked agnostic and atheist but am open to spiritual, though I am not spiritual myself. I do find beauty in nature and in mankind. I feel awe at the sunset. But I am not inclined to label those feelings as spiritual.

I am looking for someone who knows and is OK with my not believing in gods. I want to avoid the shock and the condemnation. Wile I am open minded, I have not been moved by the typical arguments. And, I have good natured fun discussing the issue with the Jehovah's Witnesses and 7th day Adventists who knock upon my heathen door.

The selections I made for what I am seeking are flexible. I cannot say that I would not fall in love with a 6'9" body builder, someone outside my limited ethnic choices, dietary restrictions, etc. But, for some odd reason, my best friends and former girlfriends have had adventurous and diverse appetites. Not a requirement though, just an observation.

I am looking for a soul mate. I want someone who challenges me, introduces me to new experiences (music, vacation spots, ideas, books, movies, ways of thinking, etc), and supports and encourages me to do whatever it is I want to do. Conversely, I want to bring the same into the relationship.

I want someone I can trust implicitly. I want someone who discusses issues instead of fights about things. If you are the type that stores issues until you explode, we probably will not last long.

I want someone with morals and integrity. You do not have to be a saint. I would prefer someone with a little bit of a mischievous side, as long as it is good natured mischief.

I want kids some day, so that should be on her agenda too. Nice but not essential are things such as intelligent conversationalist, world view, entrepreneurial, business, in
