Qapla

I am not good at describing myself in print form so I asked a couple of good friends what they would say about me. Some of the terms they used were: good guy, big hearted, hard worker, dedicated, integrity, animal lover, empathetic, teacher, grounded/down to Earth, good listener, fit, scientific, funny, traveler, passionate, & honest. In short, I taught high school chemistry for 24 years and at the moment teach at two colleges. I'm the chem teacher that blows stuff up (which inadvertently tests the fire alarms) and dips things in liquid nitrogen to see what happens in front of the class. I like to think that I offer guidance and open doors for students to pursue their passions. I grew up during the '80s and early '90s. I listen to everything rock oriented from the Beatles to Slayer and love a good concert. I still have long hair but mostly because of a promise I made to a friend who is no longer on this Earth. I smoked for 37 years but switched to vaping which has kept me cigarette free for 2 years (this is actually recommended by the CDC as a stop smoking aid, yes, I read the research). I am a Sci-fi geek and usually have a Star Trek series, Babylon 5, Firefly, Stargate, The Expanse, or some other Sci-fi series on the TV. I'm also a Law & Order and Shark Tank junkie. I work out twice a week to keep in shape and while I actually do like hiking, I haven't had much opportunity in recent years.

Looking For

Look for in a partnerMy perfect match - someone who reads what I'm about, connects with at least parts of it, and can respect the rest. I once told a friend what I'm really looking for is a kinky geek who is "fit" (which means you you think you need to lose 10 or 15 pounds, I would likely think you are "fit", we are not 20 years old anymore!). I speak sarcasm, admire wittiness, and like a lady with a "sexy vocabulary" (that means you can carry a mentally stimulating conversation). Communication is important and one of my new requirements is "relative mental stability". No one is perfect and neither am I but a good match would complement each other. I have a cat and a bearded dragon (Thrax is in one of my profile pics) so I'd like someone who might enjoy their company too. I'm not looking to change anyone and don't want someone who would want to change me but perhaps we can grow together. Oh, and you have to love otters. I mean what monster would not like a water sausage?!
On the first dateSkydiving. Just kidding. Chat over a quiet meal so that we can both make sure the other is not a psycho and that we are compatible.
