Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Nelson, 41 year old

Date men and women from Nelson, Canada. To be honest, I signed up and then lurked. Hid my profile and then thought - what the heck - and brought it out. Now it is time to fill it in, slowly but surely.
Soccer balls hurt when you get them in the face. Tofu dogs squeak when you bite them. Deep learning can come from the most random conversation.
I love my time in the morning before anyone awakens to write, think and chose how I want to BE that day. Therapy for me is being outdoors, whether it is planting, creating a beautiful space, hiking, dirt biking or just walking alongside the lake early, early when the mist ls leaving and the goslings are starting to swim out and there is that delicious quiet and you know it is going to be another stupendous day.
Believe it or not relationships need tension, not uncomfortable tension but each holding their own space, being distinct. Women and men are different in the way we think, feel and respond. So why as a woman try and function from a male energy and be harsh, and over the top and why as a male try and be a woman and come across as insipid?
My friends would describe me as strong willed, independent, funny and caring. I love to laugh and have fun, not at the expense of anyone else. Life is an amazing journey and I thoroughly look for and revel in those fabulous moments that occur throughout the day. I like dirt biking, playing sports, lighting a roaring fire and chatting with friends. Taking the dogs down to the lake and watching them cavort around. Kayaking, the gym. The list is endless, but it is just a list. I love to live life and appreciate it is the bottom line.
I make incredible soups when it is cold and rainy outside, as that to me is comfort food. I don't mind losing as long as both people have given their best - dives, throw downs or "oops she is a girl", nope that will have the redhead temper flaring. I have a quirky sense of humour and I love to banter. Brain and heart are more important to me than brawn. But if you can wrap it all up in one person - that is the point of delicious.
I don't do shallow, dumb or people who aren't authentic. I'm not interested in games. I know that might sound a tad harsh, but hey it is honest. If you can't be on here open and honest with a picture and a personality, please find someone else to contact.
