29 [m4f] Croatia/Europe - Thoughtful and introspective man, looking for something simple and meaningful with someone open and active.

It's my first time putting myself out there in this form, which means something.

I'm a 29-year old man, born and living on the coast of Croatia. I spend most of the year working in tourism and living in pretty places. During the off-season, I rest my head at my parents' apartment. Some day, it'll be mine. Otherwise, I am not caught up in money, the material, and life-engulfing careers. I have enough, and seek someone with similarly free ambition.

I'm 183cm/6ft tall, and not unfit, but I'm not fit either, just slim. I used to work out every day, to go with sports like boxing and basketball, until I caught a few chronic injuries. I try to keep a semblance of shape, and am easy on the eyes, but I'm not fit anymore. I don't care if you're fit, but I'm not attracted to plus-sized ladies. I alternate between shaved head and medium hair on a whim, as well as a short or medium beard, but never clean-shaven. I have three tattoos on my left forearm, and wish to have many more.

I'm looking for someone my age or younger. I don't mind a bit of distance, so long as there is effort to eliminate it some day. I'm looking for something life-long, and very intimate, though I appreciate friendships and talks if that's all you find for yourself here.

I've had a fun, interesting and somewhat rougher youth. It was carefree hangouts, smoking with friends and gaming, but, I won't lie - there were rough times, and I have a rough streak. A few fights, spot of crime unpunished, what have you. I wasn't uncouth, it just interested me. Being good felt like a solved game.

To contrast that, I am refined in manners when it matters. I am gentlemanly, and treat everyone with the dignity their life should afford. I respect rights and liberties, and do my utmost to enforce them. I lean progressive and liberal, and I am willing to fight for that liberty - yours as well as mine. I embody both sides of life, low and high, rough and fine. I've been there, I've seen it, I've lived it. Highest peaks and rock-bottom.

I'm open and communicative. High school opened me up after an introverted childhood, and it kept rolling. I'm quick to make friends, though I pick very carefully. I can talk about anything at length, and I love to.

I used to be outgoing in terms of dating, but some hurts did me in, and I lost courage. I've been single for over 3 years now, with little dating in between. Regardless, I deeply enjoy meaningful conversation, a warm touch, and many of the things that we reminisce on later in life. I like to be very physical, very often.

My hobbies are simple. I like walks and hikes into nature. I love driving, and music is mandatory, in which I've a colourful palate. I like collecting records as well. I play videogames. I also meditate, and keep to basic physical fitness as well. I love pets, though I've none at the moment.

There's so much more to say, but I think this condenses me, and who I seek, well enough. I remain at your disposal any time, if I interest you. :)
