My description:
I'm a Canadian who has lived in or very near, mostly in, DC for going on 29 years. I watch... not quite as much live cinema as I used to but as long as I've llved in DC, I've loved that there are so many museums, art galleries, and embassies with some sort of film program the Freer Gallery's is particularly great, the NGA's less so than it used to be - plus the AFI, providing opportunities to see movies one would hardly ever have a chance to see on a big screen otherwise. In addition to cinema, I read a lot, mostly fiction, that mostly science fiction and fantasy with occasional classics, forays into other genres, and non-fiction thrown in for variety - I was rationing Jane Austen novels severely since she isn't writing any more of them but have recently decided on a sprint to finish Northanger Abbey and Persuasion so I can start reading some of the professionally published Austen fan fiction that has accumulated (there are apparently at least two published mystery novels revolving around the murder of Wickham, from Pride and Prejudice, one of which is set in a gathering of the protagonists of all Austen's novels, so obviously I need to have read them all before I can read that). And I exercise a lot, mostly running or, to be more precise, mostly orienteering (look it up if you haven't heard of it or ask me if you prefer) and a fair bit of running as training for the orienteering, plus some mostly utilitarian cycling, less than I used to since I changed careers some years ago and a little later gave in to microeconomics and bought my first car so I could drive to work sites rather than messing about with air travel and rental cars for half or more of the year. It doesn't take up a lot of my time anymore - once upon a time, I took multiple classes weekly - but I also love modern dance and dance performances generally, another thing which which DC has been reasonably generous with in the time I've lived here, though with the new Trumpian takeover of the Kennedy Center, maybe a little less so going forward for the highest profile dance companies, since I'm probably going to be boycotting the Kennedy Center from now until it doesn't feel like an endorsement of what he's doing there and, by extension, of the whole MAGA project to darken its door. I became vegetarian at 18, mostly for environmental and health reasons (with an assist from my sister and I being left to fend for ourselves while my parents were on sabbatical and figuring out what to do with grains, legumes and vegetables - fruit are easy, fortunately - being enough to take on, thank you very much). I own a wok and use it frequently, though not on as varied a set of dishes as I aspire to. I also own a slow cooker but have only tried a handful of recipes in it, only one of which has become a regular thing in my culinary repertoire to date. And a fermenting crock in which I can make more than acceptable sauerkraut but have yet to succeed in making more than adequate, less than fully authentic kimchi, not that I've been very persistent. My culinary ambitions do have a tendency to exceed both my reach and my grasp - it's so much easier to cook something familar and use the time saved for the reading, film watching, and excercise - but I do like to hunt through cookbooks and online for recipes that seem plausibly within my grasp and try a new one out every so often.
Seeking:
A woman not too much younger - the traditional divide age by two and add 7 threshold of age difference allowability is at least a few years larger gap than I'd feel entirely comfortable with - or older than I am who isn't put off by the totality of the things I'm passionate about and has passions of her own, somewhat overlapping (completely overlapping would be both eerie and unlikely - if such a person existed in the DC area I'd almost certainly already know them). Most likely living in or near DC - with the career change, I theoretically could now relocate to a variety of places in the US but I like it here pretty well and it wouldn't be very environmentally sound to be driving hundreds of miles just to meet prospective partners. Vegetarianism/veganism isn't a deal breaker - my longest past relationship was with an omnivore though one who didn't object to eating almost exclusively what I ate at home - but a total disinterest in cinema, and in books, and in being active outdoors probably would be.
