i'm sitting at my favourite cafe with a glass of jasmine iced tea sweating on the table, the scent of flowers clinging to my t-shirt. i've been writing letters to friends tonight (pure pleasure), and trying to catch up on work that's been on the back burner as i've been finishing my dissertation. (i just defended my phd.)
i was fortunate to come into politics (mid-1990s) through an artistically and politically rich local scene in winnipeg, which included bands like the propagandhi and the weakerthans. punk politics and diy are still very important to me; i love that the local community in my new city has the same gritty self-determination that first inspired me to get involved in social justice and animal rights back in the day.
i'm a sociology prof, and my department feels like a good fit, given my colleagues' interests in feminist, labour, anarchist, postcolonial/critical race, and environmental theory. i like intersectional and interdisciplinary scholarship; animals are the centre of my research and teaching. while sociology definitely resonates with my interests, i actually do more cultural studies than traditional sociology.
outside of academic life (though, i do sometimes read theory before bed!), i enjoy riding my bike, walking, writing poetry, swimming, meditating, learning guitar, learning in general, listening to music, reading, playing scrabble, dancing, hanging out with friends at the new vegan restaurant (so good! vegan donuts! vegan greek salad! holy smokes!), watching films, listening to CBC, being a goof, and cuddling with my cats. and activism too. (of course!) i value compassion, sincerity, minimalism, and a good pun. fugazi, godspeed you! black emperor, and cat power are my top three faviourite bands.
i've been working pretty solidly over the past few years, focusing on my job and the completion of my phd. now that i'm on the other side of the diss, i feel like i'm discovering my hands again. or my life. or both. my friends have been re-socializing me, and i'm learning to converse with real human beings again! i'd like to do some traveling during my upcoming sabbatical.
it's a cliche, but i really do appreciate the little things in life. strong tea. morning sunlight. the park across the street. a long conversation that winds into the night. small acts of love and rebellion.
somehow i managed to write over 300 pages about voice, which is really just the flip side of listening, which informs all my ethical and political engagements (which is to say, everything). i believe that presence is the same thing as love, and i think about death a lot in a kind of way that makes me appreciate how fleeting and fragile life is. i want to show up to my life as fully a possible. paying attention informs everything i do. i don't want to get to the end of my life and wish i had done it differently.

some people ask, “what you looking for?” in terms of dating criteria. i used to think this whole idea was bunk. you know what you want when you find it. but as time goes on, i realize i’ve subconsciously been cultivating a list. and so, you know, here it is so far.
someone who is in love with life. someone who is present, curious, and kind. someone who shows up. someone who isn’t a manarchist. someone who gives a shit. someone who reads and listens well. someone who is passionate about something. someone who meaningfully engages with politics. someone who is self-reflexive. someone who can dialogue. someone who is empathetic. someone who loves to learn. someone who does not “have a temper.”
someone who is creative. someone who doesn’t impose gender norms. someone who likes women. (yup.)
Seeking: A woman who is a deep thinker and deeply cares for all creation. She should be in good shape [incl/beyond merely physical]. Maybe she is more like a fish than a human (ah...clear lakes and oceans) :). She should be guided by love - not selfishness or greed. Compassion and tolerance/openness [whether it be re: food, religion,...] should guide her. I think it is vital to look for connect-ion on all levels. That means dogma/conditioning cannot supercede logic, under-standing, com-passion and a search for common-al-it-y [i.e. no boxes/in-validations]. I don't get along with rigid people. I seek flexible, open and committed connections...of course, this, like all worthwhile things, takes work...
Friends say that I am unnervingly calm, perhaps it is due to meditating daily. I love Renaissance and Modern literature (and not much in between), spending time outside breathing clean air (when I can find it), laughing, baking/eating vegan desserts, listening to music (no one type really; my tastes span over many genres), dancing – especially to new wave 80s, the brit-pop 90s and the new millenium dance-punk. I love to take road trips to the country, or another city, whenever possible. Currently I am a bartender to pay the bills and a musician to nourish my soul (though both of these occupations have me spending a little too much time in the pubs). After all is said and done I think I can summarize my focus as being on the Yogic vows of Ahimsa (non-harming) and Karma (doing good works). I am no mother Theresa, but I try to gently steer myself and others in a positive direction. Sometimes I just like to make people laugh, and sometimes that is enough.
Seeking:
Seeking: First and foremost, I would love to meet other veggies in southwestern Ontario! It really feels like there are so few of us out here (outside of Toronto)…. Other than that, I hope to get to know and hopefully make friends with folks from anywhere and everywhere who are honest and present, with diverse OR similar interests, but who ideally have progressive politics as I don’t tend to get along very well with racist/homophobic/sexist/speciesist people. :) Besides food and politics, I am oriented in a very musical way. Anyone who is passionate about music can be a friend of mine. (Unless they are too close-minded).
I hate typing... :)
Thought I'd say that right off the bat so anyone reading this will understand the reason for the short message.
Firstly- a fact since It usually comes up anyway- "Yes" Pics are recent ones... I've always looked, talked, sounded-like and acted years younger than I look/am (at least 10yrs. younger).
Words that describe me (in no particular order):
Easy-going, smart, logical, down-to-earth, romantic, music-loving, enjoy and "can" dance, likes soccer, chess, loves the beach, summer, v. good swimmer, artistic, v. creative, v. musical, traditional in some ways but modern as well in some others, loyal, v. clean (personally and in my living environment), etc...
I will think of more to say later!
Seeking:
Ideal female:
V. Feminine, logical, easy-going, music-loving, v. v. clean (double "v" is not a misprint), traditional and modern as I am, v. romantic
I prefer a vegan but veg. is ok too.
Will add more soon....
Seeking: Someone that has a social/environmental consciousness. I am attracted to intelligence, education, strength and beauty. But the attributes that attract me most are kindness, compassion and humility.
Hi there, I've been a vegetarian for close to 4 yrs now, and have vegan tendancies... I initially started eating less meat and processed food and eating more raw fruits and vegetables to improve my health (to get my blood pressure to normal, it worked!), but the reasons have since expanded to include animal welfare and spiritual reasons. I am an engineering manager working with the federal government. My hobbies include studying natural health/alternative health, golf, going to the gym, ..playing some guitar, etc.. I've also become very interested in "live" foods , as it amazes me how many people have recovered from serious health conditions on such a diet.
Seeking:
I'm looking for someone who shares similar interests, and is interested in leading a healthy yet fun lifestyle!
I am pretty complex, so I doubt this small paragraph will do me justice. I have spent the past couple of years developing myself as a person before I dared to be in a serious relationship. I needed to learn who I was before I could figure out if someone was right for me or not. I vowed I wouldn't date again until I was ready, and finally I'm feeling the time is now. I am constantly evolving as a person, and I need someone who can evolve indepently alongside me. I do not want to lose myself in a relationship, nor would I ever wish for that to happen to my partner. I am fiercely loyal and compassionate, loving all walks of life, no matter how small or large.
I am hardworking and independent, though I've got a soft side that turns into complete mush. I think it is critical to travel and push yourself to do things that scare you. I am more mature than my age suggests, though I still enjoy having a glass of wine with friends and being young. Though I am open minded, I am strong-willed, working towards benefiting animal rights, human rights and environmental issues.
I recently graduated university where I studied geography -- I now wish to go back to school to get my Master's, though it's not the right time. I just got home from a 4 month backpacking trip across Australia, Bali and Thailand. My experience cannot be exercised into words... it was life-changing.
I volunteered at an elephant sanctuary for 2 weeks and I felt like a flower unfolding. Everything was making sense and I knew everything that has happened in my past lead me to this glorious life of love and compassion. I am a sensitive person that loves animals dearly, choosing to live a vegetarian lifestyle, though I am quickly veering towards becoming vegan. The tipping point will happen quite soon. I am lucky enough to get a writing position with a new online magazine, a huge opportunity that can arm me with amazing experience that can help me fall in love with writing again. I love my words, but can only use them if I am inspired.
There is one part of my life that is lack-luster -- one of which I am seeking to change. I want to share my life with someone and feel connected with a larger web of greater life. It is important to me to share similar lifestyles with my life partner, to not feel like I have to defend myself in that relationship. I am a bubbly, outgoing woman who wants to live a life bursting with happiness and love. I have many dreams and pushing myself will make them a reality. We've all got lemons, why not make lemonade?
Seeking:
I desire a person who compliments my lifestyle, who loves all beings and shows compassion. I am a sucker for people who love animals and have a great smile. They must be veg-friendly at least, but huge bonuses for those who are vegan. You've got to love the natural life, being outside and experiencing a world beyond Western societies. I am looking for someone I get an instant attraction to, that clicks with me and understands me. I want to take my time getting to know them, as I am cautious, but curious. I have no problem with distance, as I am willing to see more of the world, so why not travel and meet someone that way?
I love deep, intense conversations, talking about life and all that it entails. I want to stay up late and not notice the time pass, losing myself in the wonderful art of conversing. I am a gentle person, who makes the effort of moving worms and snails off the sidewalks despite stares from strangers. I saved a bird last year from hypothermia and kept him in my bathroom. Luckily my cat wasn't interested in eating him. I want my life to serve a purpose and I'd like to share that purpose with someone else.
In general, I am looking for a kind-hearted, nature-loving animal enthusiast that I can learn from and in return, teach.
Tall, slim, attractive vegetarian male, I value intellect, a healthy lifestyle and a good sense of humor and am looking for someone with these qualities. I stay fit through karate, tai chi and a variety of other activities.
I enjoy a variety of pursuits and am always open to new adventures. While I like many different activities I have no need to be constantly active. I believe in balance and also enjoy quiet times like watching a movie, reading, playing cards or board games or just cuddling for a chat.
What I’m looking for is someone to be my best friend and partner. Someone I can laugh with, play with, tease sometimes, wrestle on the floor with and have serious (and not so serious) discussions about the meaning of everything. I would also like someone who knows how to hug and cuddle but am willing to provide training for the right person.
Seeking:
My ideal match is fit, slim and intelligent. You tend not to follow the crowd but rather go your own way in life. You are open and adventuresome and enjoy a variety of activities but are just as comfortable spending quite time at home. You probably don't watch much TV, but do enjoy a good movie. You are attractive in a natural way and dressed up or down are comfortable being you. You like to learn new things and are open to new ideas. Honesty and integrity are important words to you and you are ready for a committed relationship. At this point in your life there is only one thing missing....me...
I would like a relationship with a strong spiritual connection, one where we both work together for personal and spiritual growth.
A health conscious raw foodist who enjoys exploring the world around and within. Interested by the arts; particularly involved with photography.
Seeking:
Looking for that person I've failed to "bump into" on the street today.
It's hard to describe oneself's self and stay objective but I will just say some things my friends have said about me - I am optimistic, independent, spiritual, freedom-loving, and generally happy!! I have been a veggie for 2 years now. I love animals and nature!! I'm involved with several environmental causes too!!
Seeking:
I am looking for a happy person with a zest-for-life!!
Seeking: I'm looking for a woman who is down-to-earth and easy to talk with. Someone who enjoys deep discussions but also can be silly and child-like. Having an interest in or involved in the arts is a plus as is being passionate or motivated about something in life. Definitely must be a non-smoker.
Seeking: I am hoping to find a partner, across the board and would love to meet a man who can inspires me. It would be great if you worked in the arts and had the soul of a revolutionary; or, we can work on projects together, enlightening the masses on a higher way of living.
Hmm, well, without sounding too cocky, I'm smart and respectful. I have been vegan for 5 years and would prefer to date someone who is vegan too. Give me a shout!
Seeking:
Looking for a young lady who can have fun, and has nice friends.
Seeking: I would like to meet someone who is independent, spiritual, eats healthy, takes care of himself on the inside and out. Someone who is adventures and keep me on my toes :) Someone who believes in having his own downtown and space. Open minded, funny, willing to open his heart and show his true colours. Someone warm and affectionate.
Hello! I am an eighteen-year-old vegan woman looking to meet open-minded, adventurous nature-loving vegans. Most importantly, I am searching for someone who is emotional and creative. My number one passion is volunteering and activism. My dream is to travel, and I am looking for someone who is as excited to see the world and experience new things as I am. If this sounds like you, I'd love to get to know you!

I'm a city guy who's active and enjoys doing a variety of things. This makes life exciting and I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm easy going, open-minded and like to make people laugh, but at the same time am conscious of others' feelings and treat people the way I'd like to be treated. I strive to be multidimensional in knowledge, skills and interests, so you'd find me doing anything from viewing art at a gallery or attending a Toronto Raptors game to seeing Iranian cinema at the Toronto International Film Festival or touring the ancient Roman ruins in Turkey. Aside from being goal-focused, my friends would describe me as ambitious, yet down-to-earth and humble. I take pride in my tenacity, conversational skills and the fact that I look young for my age - it's a lifestyle thing. :-) I work in the media as a sports journalist and like travelling around North America to cover international soccer events. On top of journalism, I also teach sport marketing as a part-time prof at York University and other institutions in the GTA.
Seeking:
I'm interested in a woman who's strong, ambitious, romantic, athletic, health-conscious and communicative. I'm loyal, caring and would support her to be the best she can be. I know what I want and how to treat a woman and am looking for a woman that also knows what she wants and is willing to build something special with me. :-) My philosophies are simple. I believe in work-life balance, lifelong learning and having passion for what you do. I see a relationship as striving to achieve the ideal of a "power duo" in which both partners are strong, communicative, trusting, supportive and taking on challenges together.
I'm a laid back, abolitionist vegan guy. I'm from Toronto, currently pursuing a second graduate degree. I'll be finishing school next spring and then starting work full time in the public policy field. I like exercising, and I'm a big sports fan. I play the guitar (though, not super well haha). I enjoy cooking a variety of foods. And of course, most of all, I love just hanging out with my family and close friends. Also, I'm actively pursuing opportunities to tour as part of a boy band. Not really.
Seeking:
I am interested in someone who is vegan, or someone who is willing to actively consider going vegan. Otherwise, I am pretty open. I am interested in people who are healthy and thoughtful. I get along well with people who like to joke around and who can just relax and have a good time!
I prefer you ask me directly. I could go on and on with flowery words, but direct questions and answers are always best.
Seeking:
I'm looking for someone whose actions match their words. If you meet this criteria, contact me. All others need not apply. LOL
Seeking: I'm looking for someone fun, fit and interested in becoming a better person through awareness and growth. I am also very visual, just like you!! I am looking for someone I am attracted to physically, emotionally and intellectually. If you can carry a conversation, THAT is sexy!!! :) Please possess positive energy and a good sense of humour. I like men who like to have fun, are childlike but not childish. You are not afraid to live with an open heart, and an open mind.
I am a musician/vocalist living in Toronto. I have done a decent amount of traveling so far, in my life and look forward to adventuring more... I have been vegetarian/vegan for 15 years"ish" :).... It’s a moral decision, an understanding I arrived at, over the years my philosophies around it have evolved… My work is based in working with community. I work in a community drop-in centre as a facilitator and love it! I love to be serious and talk about the deeper things in life, but equally enjoy letting loose and just being silly. I am very comfortable in my skin. I accept everyone for who they are. I am friendly by nature but also don't have a problem with drawing the line when someone's not being respectful... My quote of the day "It's all in your hands"!!
Best!
Seeking:
Seeking a woman I can have a mutual understanding and connect with. She is honest, authentic, fun. She is a natural at being herself and encourages the same in others without judgment…
I am looking forward to meeting you!!!
Seeking: I am looking to find a vegan/vegetarian who is ready to start a new chapter in his life, that includes a future focused on building a family. Someone who knows how to have fun, has a good sense of humour and cares about others. I'm attracted to a man who is confident enough to be romantic and affectionate. Someone who is career-driven like me and who looks forward to having shared travel experiences and a good life. TV and Internet should be low on his list of priorities. (I'm looking to meet guys who are fairly local only - no further than Toronto!)
Are you tired of sifting through the matrimonial ads with no luck? Then, stop here. I just may be the one you’ve been searching for all of your life. I’ll make my case brief. I was born and raised in Toronto. My philosophy is that love makes life worth living and that is what I hope to find with you. I love to laugh and do my best to make others laugh; I have even done stand-up a few times. Some of my interests include working out, dancing, reading, cooking delicious meals, and listening to music.
Please only Hindu's, Sikh's and Jain's reply. Thank you.
Best of luck.
Seeking:
Well, of course vegetarian/vegan, and then the obvious, love, respect, best friends, etc. etc. After that it's just a matter of chemistry. That's something you can't put in words. You meet, you talk and you click and you know that's the one you want to spend your life with.
East Indian descent is not a must. However, one of the religions mentioned above is important.
Thank you.
Best of luck.
Veg girl with rambunctious sense of humour, adventurous spirit, curious mind. Love to read, go for runs, spend time at the cottage with family, cheer on the Sens (and deride the Leafs!), muck about in the kitchen, hit the pub or coffee shop, and give time to a few NGOs I'm volunteering with.
Seeking:
Would love, love, love to meet a fellow veg*n--it's becoming clear to me as I venture into the dating game how wonderful (and possibly imperative) it would be to find a partner who shares the values that frame my life. I'm looking for a vegman with open mind, open heart, and by all means, a rambunctious sense of humour. You are confident and love to learn things, playful and at times silly, a great conversationalist, and value friends and family.
I am a happy 45 year old woman that has a lot of flirty fun inside me bursting for someone to share it with. I am a daughter, sister, mother, auntie and a friend but I really miss the girlfriend in me. She is very playful and passionate. I have been eating a vegan diet for two years and I am adding more raw dishes into my diet. I am active and I do a lot of hiking with my dog.
Seeking:
I am looking for a man with a sense of humour! I love to laugh. He would be fun, confident and thoughtful. I have picked this sight as it would be fantastic to meet someone that is a conscience eater as well.
Seeking: Looking for people into the same lifestyle as me, like minded and very open minded. Vegan preferably.
Seeking: I've realized I don't have a type so much as I'm drawn to certain character traits. And of course chemistry! Yes, there's the usual--sense of humour, intelligence, wit, good heart, etc. But also: consideration, open-mindedness, some devotion to health and fitness, desire to be active, love of food, loving animals, dedication to the environment, belief in equality... I don't mix well with people who are selfish, deliberately ignorant, and don't try to communicate. Really, I'm fairly easygoing, I just think being clear from the beginning is easier than having a bad date. Talk to you soon!
Seeking: Looking for someone with similar interests, fun, funny, cute, sexy, playful and silly.
Seeking: I would like to meet a well educated, simple, honest, trust worthy person. Life is beautiful when two people try to understand each other, accept each other and trust. Its better to know someone personally. Please get in touch.
Seeking: I am looking for someone with similar interests and beliefs.
Seeking: a contemporary woman whose outgoing, fit, has a good sense of humour, can be silly and goofy but also serious when needed....knows what she wants out of life.... likes music, likes dogs..... enjoy's good conversation or is just as comfortable with quiet relaxing.... likes the outdoors.... someone who is fun to be around
Seeking: I dunno. I'm not sure what I'm looking for and probably wouldn't notice right away if I found it. I'm just interested in meeting people and seeing if there is any spark. I'll figure the ret out from there.

Seeking:
I am seeking a vegetarian male aged 52-67, who shares similar qualities such as the joy of good communication, and spirituality. A spiritual, open-minded man who desires to consciously work within the 'New Energy' to be of benefit to self & others. Sincerity and authenticity are essential; so in a world where you can be anything, just be yourself! A compassionate and creative approach always makes life interesting. Personality and good character are what is most important to me.
Seeking: I'm looking for the female version of me. We have lofty life goals. We seek constant personal growth. We have callings, not jobs. We're intense and deeply-committed to everything we do. We possess a childlike naiveté in the belief that we can leave behind legacies, be they medical cures or symphonies. We've been happy outsiders since birth. We don't see much of ourselves in others. We've never been content to run with the herd. We have strong b.s. detectors. We're not interested in what the "Jones's" crave. We're post-consumerist. We've been this way since childhood. No one had to teach us. We're vegetarians and atheists who believe that there is enough wonder in natural world.
I'm a bit of a natural woman: I stay active (outdoors if possible!), love plants, grow orchids, and meditate regularly. I like to think it keeps me young both spiritually and physically. It must be working because I’ve been told I don’t look near my age. I’ve also been told that I have kind, beautiful eyes. I consider myself to be adventurous and open-minded – curious about all things outside of my circle of knowledge. As a result, I’m friendly and fun-loving with others, easy with a smile and laughter.
I want to move to the West Coast in about a year. My awesome daughter will be 20 then and I will have wound down my office job. I want to live on a farm, make and sell vegan food (I've an impressive collection of tried and true recipes), draw and paint.
Seeking:
I am pretty sure that all doubt will fall away when I’m standing face to face with my soul mate. I know he’s slim, trusting, warm, affectionate, and thoughtful. He’s a bit philosophical, deep and smart. He’s also passionate, quick to laugh and curious about the world around us.
I'm a fun, open-minded person and spontaneous. I believe in loyalty, honesty, compassionate and in chivalry.
I enjoy working out, playing drums, (new I just started playing electric guitar,)dancing, all types of music, alternative medicine, reading, animals, nature, exploring the city, long drives to who knows where till you get there.
Sitting on a patio on a hot summer day or evening enjoying a great cup of coffee, cool smoothie or a yummy meal with awesome company and great conversation.
I always like learning and experiencing new things, so if you can introduce me to new experience or adventure that's a plus as I will introduce you to some as well.
I got to mention, Hygiene is important to me, I hope it is to you as well.
Seeking:
I'm looking for a woman who is believes in the same things that I mention above in the first paragraph. I am a family man and great with children and hope to have some of my own, so you must like/want children and of course a long-term relationship.
I am an animal lover who seeks same! Also have a great love for the outdoors, going out for bike rides and hikes.
Seeking:
A man who is a go getter and has a passion for life, someone who is sincere and has good values.
Seeking: You have character to spare. If you were on a game show, you’d always take the vacation to Maui instead of the dining table set. But if you could choose your own vacation, it might be anywhere from Egypt to Antarctica. You like to bring others cookies or cupcakes. You have a pretty clear idea of what the golden rule is, and to you it’s not merely a suggestion. You think money is a lot easier to come by than people you can trust. You think it’s pretty close to impossible to get to know someone in a loud and crowded place. And at this point in your life, you’re definitely interested in getting to know someone special better.
I want to become raw food diet because my body is getting very sensitive now to a verity of yeast, sugar, soy, and even cooked food. I need someone to coach me in a way that keeps me on track and also someone to talk to and express my artistic abilities with. I'm very musical with MIDI KEYBOARD and also would love to create some music with another person.
I create woodcrafting decoration for lawns, porches and gardens, I enjoy designing tattoo art and acrylic paintings
I'm on ODSP and no I do not have a drivers licence
Seeking:
A wonderful friend that I can talk to and learn about training myself to go on a raw food diet.
Seeking: It sounds pleasant to find a vegetarian who i can actually communicate with - I'm on this site looking at pictures instead of talking on the phone.
Seeking: Heterosexual male between 27-37 who lives in toronto
Seeking: An honest, athletic, passionate, compassionate and positive woman. Someone I can connect with intellectually and spiritually at first, then possibly emotionally and physically if it suits us.
Seeking: An open and active mind, not overly weighed down by heavy judgements... understands the difference between discernment and judgement. Integrity is a higher value for me than morality. I am fit and attractive and I make no apologies for stating that it is important to me in a partner as well. It's also in the eye of the beholder and my tastes vary... so don't be shy, but if a certain sense of style and care in appearance is not that important to you, I applaud you, but I'm likely not interested.
Seeking: I am looking for a down-to-earth vegetarian (or close to being veggie)lady who is a non-smoker and health conscious. I would like to meet a warm, sensitive and caring lady who will become my soul mate and life partner. I am seeking a person who believes in the vegetarian lifestyle. I enjoy being with someone who has a positive attitude & a sense of humour. Above all the lady's personality and character are the most important factors.
Seeking: I am looking for a good woman who is warm hearted and intelligent. Someone that shares my basic values and communicates well. She has an original and creative mind and appreciates humour and wit. It is important that she is vegetarian and has an honest nature. Someone as faithful as I am, with a healthy and balanced personality. I am attracted to a lady who is both strong and sweet, and beautiful from within. Someone who loves kissing as much as I do. My best friend.
Seeking: Looking for a respectful, honest partner who would also be a good friend, able to see the lighter side of life and open to new experiences.
I'm Adlerian; a graduate of the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. Many Adlerians understand people through five life tasks; Work, Sex, Self, Society & Spirituality. Work; I market online, write & edit. I also am working on creating a website which, hopefully, will help bring a billion people out of poverty. I used to be a psychotherapist, teacher, Jewish youth outreach worker & record store clerk. Sex; low energy is a drag, but shouldn't prevent happiness with the right woman (see below). Self; I'm happy with myself; very comfortable alone & don't want to lose "me time" if I become partnered. Physically, I'm unwell but getting better; overcoming problems in the digestive tract, coping with arrhythmia, non-disabling muscular dystrophy & mineral deficiencies. Society; I relate thru politics (advocating freedom, reason and care of the commons), Toronto Vegetarian Assoc. & family. Spirituality; raised Jewish, early on became eclectic (e.g. belief in reincarnation @age 6). I've taken in knowledge from all the world's religions and feel at home in none. My spiritual belief system is panentheistic, in alignment with the American Transcendentalists (e.g., R.W. Emerson & H.D. Thoreau) & informed by the ancient astronaut theories of Zecharia Sitchin.
Seeking:
I seek (a) a life partner to comfort & be comforted by, (b) friends, and (c) business associates. A) I'm looking for a woman who's my intellectual, emotional, energetic, financial & ethical equal. A marriage, if that's the end goal, would - to protect us both from Ontario's potentially unfair divorce laws - likely have either of us purchase half ownership in the house the other owns before we live together, or us buying another together 50/50; perhaps me moving out of Ontario. Re: B & C) I'd like friendships and business relationships with other veg*ns. If you write, please let me know how you're doing with the five life tasks, and what it is you might like to achieve from our communications; option a, b or c (or a combo). Thanks!
Seeking: ...looking for vegetarian/vegan female for friendship and possibly more. I value intelligence, independent thinking and compassion.
In Brief:
- I love food. I love coconut anything, dark chocolate, Mutsu apples, almonds, red wine...cinnamon, sweet smoked paprika, balsamic...
- One day I will own a culinary nutrition based catering company.

I am a 31 year old gal living in the big city. I have a wonderful job that makes me laugh out loud every single day. The money I make at said job is allowing me to also educate and certify myself to start my own company in an field that I am most passionate about.

Wellness, health and self improvement are big truths in my world, I expect my partner to value the same.

Health is also very important to me and I'm on a journey to improve my health & fitness. That means getting creative with my vegetarian diet & finding activities i enjoy. so far the elliptical has been a great friend. :)
I'm a student right now for practical nursing and have a year and a half left.

I am a university educated musician working towards making music performance a full time career. I have a lot of ambition and drive; I am not one of those people sitting back and hoping it happens.
I play R&B music on flute.
Beyond music I enjoy books by David Sedaris (a witty comedic author who writes about his life albeit a bit exaggerated), and monologues by Spalding Gray.
I like watching films (foreign, drama, and non-cheesy romance ... ok, well some cheesy romance.)
A watch a little TV ... mostly when I take a half hour for lunch. Anything from Rachel Zoe to Vampire Diaries to Storage Wars.
My sense of humor: The comedian Norm MacDonald, and the television show Frasier.
I seem to be able to make people laugh.
I am into fashion and style.
As far as what I am looking for on this site: I am not opposed to things evolving but I don't want to dive into anything serious.
I like to maintain my independence even when in a relationship i.e. If you're too tired to go out, "we" aren't too tired to go out ... I can still go out and not feel guilty.
Affectionate but not clingy is the key.
Seeking:
Essentially, I am looking for someone who is fun, sexy, veggie (of course) and stylish. Ethnicity does not matter.
Seeking: Someone kind, non-judgmental, and sweet.
Hi There, I am hoping to connect with my match, but are you ready for me? Hope so! A little about me, I am an outgoing extrovert, generous, compassionate,fun loving and active. I am a professional seeking same, someone who is mature and ready for a relationship. Already a mom and not wanting any more biological children. East Indian culturally, however born in England and raised in Canada since age of eight. I am seeking someone with modern sensibilities, rather than someone with traditional values and beliefs. So drop me a line if interested, would be great if you could include a picture.
Seeking:
Just haven't met you yet! But when I do I will know you are the one! You will be the one who kind, loving, intelligent, caring, family oriented, thoughtful, passionate someone who has already had his children and is now seeking a partner to travel with and spend time with.
Passionate vegan, ardent cyclist and hopelessly in love with beautiful tattoos.
By day - office rat, by night - awesome baker, aspiring chef and vegan ninja.
I'm terrible at writing about myself and much more comfortable meeting in person. And besides, I like to leave a little room for mystery ;)
Seeking:
I'm looking for a co-pilot and fellow conspirator to go on adventures with. I'm always up for an escapade - travel, trails or treats - even better if we can save the world while doing it.
Lots of things in life are more enjoyable if there is someone to share them with - a beautiful view, exploring the city, crazy capers... the list is endless. One of my favourite things is trying new restaurants - this way we can try twice as many things on the menu!
I haven't dated in years and I don't miss it... I love my work (air pollution research) and hobbies (soccer, softball, cooking and pottery). But I want to meet someone (god, I wish I could skip the awkward meeting part), have some kids, and take vacations at the beach. I'm blunt, creative, smart, analytical, and american.
Seeking:
I like people who are smart, creative, honest, and care about making the world a better place. I'm a sucker for a dry sense of humor. Good conversation is my biggest turn on.
Seeking: What I find most attractive is non-judgementalism. By that I mean a striving to too perceive all sides of any given argument before rendering an opinion. I find uninformed commentary very frustrating. This will sound oxymoronic, but I dream of a woman who is mature in practical matters, but juvenile in her ability to enjoy and accept a variety of things.
Hello! A few things about me - I play volleyball, I salsa dance and I travel the globe. I also just like to sit on my balcony and read a good book. I adore animals therefore I am a vegetarian. I volunteer because I am socially conscious. I'm a music lover and enjoy musical theatre and concerts. I love to cook and eat well. I appreciate a cold pint of Belgian beer and a box of Belgian chocolate! I'm happy trying new things and doing just about anything as long as I'm with the right company. :) This is one of my favourite quotes and summarizes pretty much what I think life should be about: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain
Seeking:
I haven't had much luck meeting vegetarian men so I thought I would try a vegetarian site since it's a lifestyle for me and I would love to meet a nice, decent man with a similar lifestyle as mine. :) If you are out there looking for something serious in Toronto, Canada drop me a note and we'll go from there. :)

Seeking:
Any happy/ healthy relationship is built on trust and good communication so these two atrributes are fundamental for me. I would not ask someone to be anything I myself am not, with that said this is what I enjoy in a companion. He must be respectful, compassionate, polite, sarcasm (is a plus - I simply love it!), a realist with a positive outlook. A man who is dignified but can be silly and smile (I do that alot).
Seeking: adventurous, happy, healthy, passionate
I am laidback with a good sense of humour. I am a good friend and companion. I usuallly find pleasure and contentment in simple things.
Seeking:
I am looking for someone to share my time with, to travel with and to explore life. In the long run, I am looking for a like-minded partner to support each other in our aspirations; someone who is on the same page with regards to goals for a relationship, family etc. I am not asking for anything from you as a partner that you would not get from me in return. One last thing, although I'd like to stay positive and open-minded but if you're 420 friendly then, sorry you're not the one for me.
Seeking: What I'm looking for in you ..to first develop a friendship -really get to know each other & see if we share some similar interests & qualities as me. It would be great to talk & hang with someone who values the same as I. Some top items you have that I would really like:non-smoker, no drugs, some social drinking is fine, self confident, positive, honest, motivated, you care about your health- food & exercise, nature.. We live approx 50km from one another(as I'm here to write for a bit, though I hope to meet some people to hang out). I'm not going to share much at this point, I'd like to get to know someone and see what they are truly about. Please note: I might end up editing this.
Seeking: >>>I would like to meet a person that is: centered and balanced, respects herself, all living creatures and the environment. Feels connected to everything there is and finds truth in that. Someone passionate about something and with whom I can spend a lot of time with without knowing where the time went by. Someone that loves nature and the outdoors but also enjoys the city and traveling. It would be great if she loves music... But probably the most important thing I am seeking is to feel a deep and natural reciprocal connection towards that person, a connection that makes us both grow ; )
Petitte, slim, a good listener, health minded,personable. I love doing exercise everymorning before go to work, and i love doing outdoor activety hiking and camping.
Seeking:
Personality doesn't matter as long as responsible men and compassionate.
Hey! I'm new & just thought I'd try this out. I'm a Professional Tattoo Artist & Body Piercer, I really enjoy anything artistic. I love riding my Harley Sporster 883cc Custom motorcycle or beach cruiser bicycle when the weather permits! Hopefully that's soon :) I have a 4lb chihuahua named Lola, who's is pretty amazing for so many reasons. I am currently Vegan but I'd love to make the transistion to fully raw Vegan. Hmm, I love water, lakes, pools, lol anything. I find it so grounding for me to even just sit by the water. Hopefully that makes sense.
Seeking:
I'm looking to meet more like minded people for friendships and hopefully more! If any of this sounds neat, or if you'd like to know more shoot me a msg. :)
Talented and funny guy. Sometimes a bit boring on the weekend: like to stay in and cook and read. Been a few places and seen a few things.
Seeking:
Cheerful and tender. Up for challenges and growing together.
I am a fun loving, music loving zen buddhist student.
My free time consists of yoga, my oug, dance class, running, reading and schoolwork.
I love to catch live music and my tastes range from Motorhead to Sigur Ross to Beirut, David Bowie and the list goes on and on.
My favorite books include historical fiction, views and opinions, philosophy.
Feel free to make suggestions on what else I can write here.
Seeking:
I am looking for a man who is fun and has some similiar interests. Someone who is adventurous and can teach me a thing or two art, music and maybe open my mind up about global issues.
My ideal body types are fit or thin.
I love going out and trying new Veg restaurants around the GTA... but have no prob. whipping something up at home. I love good conversation on politics, philiosphy, art, music, history. I read and I am working on a novel right now.
I can be shy at first, but I warm up rather quickly if the topic is good. I would like to do some causual dating... but if it leads to something more serious, why fight it ? If you like what you've read so far what are you waiting for? Men with a degree of confidence (not arrogance) are very sexy.
Seeking:
Looking to date someone either my age or a little older. Someone who is not a pushover, but not a brute. A guy who is patient and caring towards other, has a mature sense of humour, and is open-minded.
I am really into travelling (I am fairly nomadic), music (many types), cooking, being outdoors, reading, watching documentaries (such as 'darwin's nightmare'), baking, making things, etc. Some of my goals for the next year are to learn Arabic and travel to Mediterranean Europe. I am currently studying holistic nutrition via correspondence. I think that my creativity, confidence and (very) strong views make me unique. I try to spend as much time as I can educating myself on global issues (mainly palestinian and indigenous solidarity, but I love learning in general). That is it for now I guess, I really do not like writing these things, so if you want to know more, ask :)
Seeking:
I am low fat raw vegan and am looking for people with similar views :)
Seeking: I'm looking more to make friends and see how that goes. Probably someone with similar interests or an appetite for good veggie food.
Still something of an idealist, hanging on to the notion that it is definitely possible for people to treat each other respectfully and well. Seeking money hasn't been a big part of my life. I work in the non-profit sector assisting people living in poverty or struggling with different issues, most of which are beyond their control. I love language and am hooked on Scrabble. Previously, I worked for a violin maker and did a little turn as a performer in an alternative theatre company. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Seeking:
Somebody who speaks and listens well and has a nice voice. I have always enjoyed people who are sensitive, creative and have a sense of humour that is uniquely their own.
Love cycling. And eating well. Goal- oriented. And driven. Adventerous. Love exploring and seeinbg new places and things.
Seeking:
Looking for an outgoing activity partner. With an adventerous. And Tenacious spirit.
Hi, I am a Vegan who loves animals, the outdoors and love to explore! I am a honest and straight forward guy looking for an honest straight forward Lady.
Love and harmony to all:)
Seeking:
I am not very picky, if there is a spark thats awesome!
I have been a vegetarian since 1996, and a vegan to some extent since 2004. I have always been compassionate about animals, so I suppose this was the next logical step.
Related to my eating habits, I am not the kind of person who pushes my views on others unless they begin to probe and want to debate. In other words, I am not very active in promoting my beliefs, but I would not mind getting more involved.
Personally, I hold two university degrees and I work for a large financial institution. I enjoy both staying at home and watching TV as well as going out with friends. I like most kinds of music and like going to concerts. In addition to loving animals, travel is another passion of mine. In general, I think I am pretty liberal and open-minded.
Seeking:
I heard about the site several years ago through a vege friend so I signed up. Ideally, it would be nice to wind up with someone who shares my beliefs and eating habits for the sake of simplicity in the long run, but I would not say that I am here to find my future husband necessarily. Again, I am not an activist although very dedicated to my beliefs.
With that being said, in men I generally look for someone who is confident, intelligent, motivated, giving, and social. A sense of humour is important as well.
Hello! I am looking for people who are like minded and want to get to know me!
For a start, I am an avid traveller and I am a beach girl. I love the summer and can stay in the water forever.I like going to concerts, working out, watching movies and cooking (Curries and mexican food! Mmmm) I'm a happy person who can find a joke in anything and I love to laugh. I find strange things funny so don't mind me if I giggle at innappropriate times or in public :) I love hanging out downtown, going on walks, chilling out on a weekend in Kensington, going to dinner and finding new places along the way. I like going to plays or comedy shows and I wouldn't mind doing most things. I like hiking, wakeboarding, boating, scuba diving, relaxing with a beer or a glass of wine. And most of all I want to find someone who can laugh at the world with me, and can understand my values for being a vegetarian.
Seeking:
I am looking for somewho who gets why I'm vegetarian, a non smoker, someone who has energy to go for walks or go camping on the weekends. Someone who is gainfully employed and is motivated in their career. Cats are great, dogs are cool too! Someone who is open minded and knows that chivalary is not dead. I'm very happy to go out of my way for my partner, I only ask that it is returned. Please don't be crazy or possessive and just be able to be my friend, lover and companion! I guess thats a big wish list!!
Seeking: I'm looking for honest, mature, like-minded friends, which if a connection is made could progress to a great friendship / relationship. Someone fun, with a sense of humor and a sense of adventure. Someone that is true to themself. A true connection. Other like-minded (veggie/vegan) friends.
Seeking: Geniune, thoughtful, affectionate, funny!
Seeking: I'm looking for someone who is easy going, funny, and has a good heart. Maybe we can try some vegan restaurants.
Seeking: I'm interested in a man who is emotionally available, who considers himself happy and kind; you're engaged with the world and your place in it, curious about the process more than the result but aim high none the less. Grounded, fit and healthy, funny, with strong relationships in your life- desiring the best from yourself and those around you. But mostly, I'm looking to be well met, in every way.
Seeking: Looking to meet and connect with a like minded woman.
I'm originally from Ottawa and moved to Toronto two years ago. I've been blessed with a great family, amazing friends and a job that I love. Most of my friends are in Ottawa but I do have a few close ones here who I adore. :)
I've been vegetarian for 10-ish years and vegan for three and a half. As I get older my reasons for sticking to these choices continue to grow. I'd be happy to share them over a warm beverage with anyone wanting to know more.
I enjoy simple things, tea with a close friend, a walk outside, sharing a smile with a stranger while we observe their pet or child doing something ridiculously cute. I love being outside. I don't bother with umbrellas in the rain unless I have to be somewhere and I risk getting completely drenched.
Seeking:
I'm looking for someone who values a healthy lifestyle. I'm a very social person would love for you to meet my friends and I would also like to get to know yours. If you know your way around a kitchen that's a real bonus. However, a willingness to learn or participate in the epic meal making is awesome! It would be great if we could hit the gym together or do a yoga class for fun. I'm all for us each having our own activities but would love for some of them to overlap. At the end of the day, I'm just looking for a nice, kind, honest, fun, compassionate guy whose eyes and smile will make me melt. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I believe it's what I see behind the eyes and in your smile that will trigger that reaction. If any of this resonates with you please feel free to drop me a line. :)
Seeking: You are either surveying the world from Mount St.Vegan or you are earnestly on your way up.You are adorable, kind, loyal, affectionate. You are tolerant and accepting. You are articulate, philosophical, spiritual. You are counter-culturish,intellectually stimulating, patently political. You would sacrifice/gamble everything for love.
Seeking: On trial basis only.
Seeking: a very loving, kind and caring person who is willing to be in a committed relationship and do what it takes together to see it work in a healthy and loving way. I am seeking one who is health-oriented in not only their body but their mind and spirit, who is spiritually-minded and tolerant and never harsh or mean-spirited. Affectionate and togetherness-oriented rather than 'stand-offish' and distant, and mutually respectful of each other's quirks and need for time alone in our creative spaces. One who loves adventure and travel, new experiences and loves to dine out too! Loves to share a lot, like cooking and preparing food together, along with making each other a priority
Seeking: Someone with similar values and a shared love of the outdoors.
Seeking: I am looking for someone special, friendly, easy going and positive, could be shy or not so much, Someone who knows her way around and open minded. Race and religion are meaningless to me, I don't judge people based on their background, as long as you are down to earth and friendly, we will get along.
Seeking: A open minded woman that speaks her mind.
I can hold my breath for 23 days (24 if there's a harmonic convergence) and blow out a gale so strong that I can help farmers in distant lands plagued by locust infestations. I can make fish blink, even though they have no eyelids. There are remote, windswept Himalayan villages where my name is only spoken in muted gasps. I can communicate using an archaic Norwegian system of mime using wooden spoons. I'm originally from Africa, but then aren't we all? In a past lifetime I was Napoleon, but not the famous one. I have the chiseled body of a Roman God, minus the bits that fell off during a bout with leprosy.
Seeking:
Artistic, bizarre Canadian desires easygoing, fun, good-hearted, jovial karaoke lover. Me? Nonconformist, openminded, personable, quixotic, rather spontaneous. Turnoffs...? Unfeeling, vain women, xenophobes, yawnable zombies. Zany, yodeling, xylophone-whacking vegetarian, using thesaurus somewhat rapidly. Quarantine passed or not, monosyllabic/loquacious, khaki/jeans irrelevant. Hate going for everything dateless? Contact before Armageddon!
People tell me that I look younger than my age. This is most likely due to genetics and a healthy lifestyle. I am a veg*n and try to keep in shape. I enjoy yoga and have taken courses in mindful meditation. I like to in-line skate, swim, indoor rock climb, and dance! I'm currently learning how to salsa (been practicing for a year) :) I've tried many kinds of dancing - jive, swing, zouk, bellydance, and blues! I love animals and have two beautiful cats. I like to nurture plants. I am playful, creative, and fun. I also like to think about the world around me and am conscious and care about the environment, animals, and people. I backpacked solo for a year in Southeast Asia in 2005. I have taken training in expressive art therapy and play therapy and this is what i do for a living. I'm also learning Spanish!! hola! como estas?

I'm looking to meet others with similar interests or those who can introduce me to new ideas, places, and activities. Kindness, humour, and creativity are a must!
Seeking: Looking for someone who feels the same about being active and not harming animals or the environment or people, for that matter. Kindness is an instinct and I would love to spend time with a guy who's kind, open and free and loves the earth and stars and everything in between.
Carpe diem et Illegitimi non carborundum...
That's always been my motto (or creed, or mantra, whichever twirls your tapes).
For the first time in my life, I can actually say that I am comfortable in my own skin! (and mean it)
My interests include: veganism, animal companions (1 dog, 1 cat, both rescues), reading (voracious esp. English literature), cooking (esp. southern Asian vegan), theatre (I just got back into community theatre after a 16-year break... scary but good), film (ones that make you think... and feel), music (I play piano... very badly... but i still play every day), the symphony (I like to go the TSO), museums.
If any of this appeals to you, drop me a line.
You never know unless you try....
