6'1"; Olive-skinned, active 325# Puerto Rican. Ex Navy. New York born and raised. I love to: laugh, hike, dance, write, read and cook. I'm "kind of" a homebody - not to say I don't enjoy a night out w friends. Not much of a drinker, though do I enjoy, and can drink a few, when out-and-about. I was blessed to do a few things I loved as professional careers and am presently an Executive Chef. I have been involved with quite a few popular restaurant spots in the southern California area. Looking to meet others - bears, cubs and chasers w similar interests for fun, dating and possibly more. I'm into NERDS. I've been told I'm "too straight-acting" though I don't know what that means since I'm just being myself. Obviously not effeminate in any way. I am out, but discreet. Would be discreet if I wasn't gay, so don't understand those types of statements. Raised Catholic - but recovering nicely thank you for asking. Looking for love, loving and possibly a LTR. If you're looking to meet someone to hang out with and have fun with - hit me up. If your ONLY interest is a quick hook-up, I'm definitely not your type. Similar interests in the aforementioned is key - but, not necessary as I'm always looking for new things to peak my interest.
Being okay with things of a spiritual nature-notreligious- is important. And good lord…have a sense of humor!
I LOVE self-proclaimed nerds - glasses, etc., so that's a plus, but, open to anyone with a kind heart and a quick wit who can hold conversations about things other than lubes, condoms, and Madonna (and I enjoyed her in her "hey day", very much, so relax!)
Into good old Rock-N-Roll, old school rap, and until recently Country music.
I do meditate (probably scared most of you away), but, don't mind a good boxing match! If you're still reading and interested in striking up a conversation, hit me back and let's see what happens.
Thanks for taking the time to read this diatribe. May you find what settles your heart and feeds your soul. Happy New Year to you.

Meeting up for coffee or a drink somewhere we can talk that's fun. I'm a huge fan of the beach areas.

I'm a "foodie" so I like checking out new restaurants in new locations w friends. I also like hiking so anything that takes me to a new hike - that's dog friendly - is key.

To find a partner who loves himself enough to share of himself freely, so I can in-turn do the same. I am not into jealous or controlling behaviors or manipulation.

Anything that makes me smile and laugh and want more...

Great Skills, Humor, Intelligence, Spontaneity, Wit

Individuals who are compassionate but not pushovers - who understand that standing for something doesn't mean taking something away from others; who get that an open mind is the ability to discuss…disagree…and still be okay with each other choices.
Passive-aggression a HUGE turn-off!
Jealous or insecure need not contact me.

Would like to find local bears/cubs to hang with, grab some grub with, grab an occasional beer or glass of wine with and possibly more.
