Howdy. Name's Richard. I'm 24, Just graduated with my BSBA in Marketing, and my BFA in Graphic Design, only to debate whether sitting behind computer screens making stuff look pretty is what i want to do for the rest of my life. So i'm trying to do some soul searching for the next six months or so. If you wanna talk about life and the future I'll surely give you an ear-full.

I like to be active and try new things, life experiences only make you richer. I enjoy trying new restaurants and picking something random off the menu (although cravings for true favorites get me all the time too). Looking to be more active and balance working full time with recreation and life.

Recently trying to get back in the gym/park/wherever at least 3-5 times a week and try and consume way too much food for the common good. I'm trying to maintain a healthy 175, but thinking about trying to get back into it all and maybe gain to 180. Debating about doing the proper gay thing, and get really cut for Halloween... then dressing in next to nothing, but have a theme or props to call it a costume.

I'm a secret softy, between sarcastic comments and roughhousing I really just want a hug. I like to be around guys who make wisecracks. I often find that some guys are sensitive to this, and I get frustrated with it. Truthfully If I'm pickin' fun at you, it means i think you're beyond awesome, and i hope you return the wisecracks.

I've never smoked a cigarette... I don't drink that often... I'm not a fan of drugs, so much that i've barely even take ibuprofin when i get hurt, so imagine me around the recreational stuff.

I'm looking for diverse friends. Goal orientated, genuine guys. Expanding friendships to go out and do things. I would love to find some workout buddies, or just someone to go out and get sweaty with (ha). I'm not active in all those sports listed, but i'd love to be around guys who are; I would love to try rock-climbing to rugby, diving to boxing.

I'm always lookin' for a Mr. Right too, but I'm not actively searching for him. Like 'em athletic and tall, non smokers, and a 'nice guy' if you know of anyone. I don't hookup, it's not really my style. So much as "its been forever" if you know what i mean, sex comes after the start of something a little more serious for me. I'm lookin for the real stuff, that means hopefully one day settle down for a monogamous relationship, (apparently move to Iowa or Maine to get married) 'n' raise a family. If I find this partner by 30-something, I want little Richie's runnin' around... but until then, I'll accept any good make out session (of course following a fun date and good conversation).

I find this fun, and kinda true:

Your dating personality profile: Big-Hearted - You are a kind and caring person. Your warmth is inviting, and your heart is a wellspring of love. Liberal - Politics matters to you, and you aren't afraid to share your left-leaning views. You would never be caught voting for a conservative candidate. Stylish - You do not lack for fashion sense. Style matters. You wouldn't want to be seen with someone who doesn't care about his appearance.

Your date match profile: Big-Hearted - You want someone compassionate, someone gentle and kind. A loving, nurturing person will fill that hole in your life.
