On a mission to make meaningful human connection easier to find, form, and keep.
I made this page so you can see what I'm looking for in people, and decide whether we should connect. What is Patibles?
Message me on InstagramHard drugs and heavy drinking would be dealbreakers.
For a partner: tobacco
I'm looking for friends, and I'd welcome a partner; ideally, one that begins as a friendship.
With friends, I'm happy with anything from a few times a year to several times a week. In person, by phone, by video and by text all work for me. I enjoy friendships that range from easygoing to deep.
With a partner, I want to be in touch every day. Ideally, my partner takes care of her health and body the way I do. It's a big part of my life.
I use texting to make plans and for conversations that have some substance to them. For everything else, I'd rather talk by phone or video.
For friends, I'm open to anyone. For a partner, I'm open to a woman.
You can invite me to any of these, even on the same day, one-on-one or in a group. 'I do this already' means it's part of my life now and I can invite you to it. 'I'd start this with company' means I'm not doing it yet but would, with someone who wants it too. 'Never tried' means I'd like to try it if someone asked.

I'd rather not get into small talk or politics.
My life is about three things: training and health; my mission, with all the building, marketing and systems it takes; and growing as a person, through reflection, learning and practicing courage.
Most of my hours go to the mission. I train at the gym a few times a week and want to train more. I sleep about nine hours a night. The rest of my time goes to people: a walk, a phone call, karaoke or a coffee shop.
If I could wish three things for everyone, they would be the skills to communicate and handle conflict well (Nonviolent Communication changed how I do both), a settled sense of self-worth, and a life lived by your own values, with a habit of ongoing growth.
I'm drawn to people who are self-aware, who take responsibility for themselves, who keep growing, and who are kind and brave.
I'm in Gladstone, Oregon. For everyday things, the closer the better: within about fifteen minutes of home is ideal, and thirty miles is about my limit unless it's something I really want to do. Trips are different; I'll happily go far for those. My days don't follow a fixed schedule. I'm often free during the day, I tend to stay up late, and I'm slow to get going in the morning. For calls, the same day works, even on short notice. In person, invite me to anything. Long-distance friendship works for me by phone or video; a long-distance relationship doesn't. I speak English.
Could you tell, from this page, whether we should connect?
