Date men and women from Canada / Manitoba / Dauphin, 32 year old

Date men and women from Manitoba, Canada. I'm a loyal & honest friend; I'll defend you til the end, but will also let you know if you're being unreasonable. I always try to look for positives, there's no point in focusing on the negative. I went from working a high stress, shift work job hoping to counsel people with issues, to taking a pay cut to work with children, where you can actually notice the difference you make in their lives. Being able to spend more time with my child and teach other children a more positive way of life is more rewarding than money. I'm a laugh out loud type of person; I don't contain laughter well, although sometimes my laugh has been compared to Michael Clark Duncan's. I'm passionate about child advocacy, humane treatment of animals and the ability for everybody to express themselves freely. Sometimes you don't want to hear or agree with what someone says, but they shouldn't be silenced. I'm looking for someone that's laidback & easy to talk to and laugh with. Someone who can handle the bustle of city life, but would prefer back-country solitude. Someone who appreciates children even if he doesn't have any. Although I'm not a drinker, I don't mind if my mate is, as long as it's not a daily thing. I'm hoping to find someone who enjoys the outdoors & exploring new countryside, I enjoy the challenge of getting lost somewhere!
