My name is Robin. I just graduated from Evergreen. I am still a student though, I am starting to work on creating a self-guided Masters program at Evergreen that I will go through, or I will go thru another one that I have been researching. I am also a MSCE+I and Cisco Certified Associate. My degree at TESC was in helping people and animals. I love the outdoors, animals and don't have children. I like being active and taking on challenging physical activities. I like road trips to the ocean, desert and mountains, in that order. I like to stay in shape and eat healthy. I like discussing history, philosophy, politics, economics. I am spiritual (with personal faith), but not religious at all. I have become much more socially conscious in recent years. I have several projects in which I am involved in helping people. I have had a computer consulting business for 17 years repairing software and hardware and doing networking, also teaching kids about computers. I was a gymnast for many years and have a muscular build. I am about 5' 9" tall, blond hair and blue eyes. My hobbies in the past have included working on cars (I own some early model cars that I have completely gone through) and playing the guitar and singing, and other hobbies... I am looking for a woman who is fairly attractive; in shape, doesn't complain when things get rough (for instance in the desert on a road trip) but sees it as an adventure that gets her into better physical and mental shape; is extremely loyal (I can't take a broken heart); doesn't want to be controlled, but takes responsibility for her own imperfections and discomforts and doesn't turn it around into being a victim who utilizes the politically/socially correct defensive mechanism of typifying the guy as a victimizer/womanizer/physical threat to her safety cheap shot. I want a woman who stands up for herself in a kind, intelligent, and creative way realizing that I am also imperfect and need help at times with her frustrations (i.e., communication); instead of a woman who gets depressed, pive/aggressive, winy or rude. In other words I want to go out and enjoy life and make the most of the beauty and experiences that life brings. I have a lot of responsibilities and I work very hard. There is never a moment where everything is done, but I definitely feel the need to break away. Sometimes I get impatient and frustrated and complain about things if I feel that a woman is not carrying her weight or has a bad atude. If I feel like I am being short changed emotionally (there has to be a definite pattern, not just an occasional bad moment) or in chipping in with work, that's when I show my worst colors. I just can't deal with someone who is not trying or is feeling sorry for themselves, or imagining they are being taken for granted. If I really like someone and am attracted to someone, and they are being nice to me in general with mutual respect, THEN, I really don't have a problem with showing affection and interest. I ESPECIALLY like someone who is easy to get along with and is helpful to people and kind to animals; someone who always wants to learn. I want someone who is adept enough to realize that it is polite to share expenses when going out. In this economy, and since I have investments that require economic sacrifice for now, and since being smart with money is just good sense, I want a woman who has common sense in this area, with her feet on the ground; sure a millionaire is nice to find, and maybe someday I'll be one, but my first priority is helping others and lessening suffering in the world, while being as smart as I can financially. Do you, or can you, match that approach? I am a Leo. Probably, my strongest characteristic is that I always think and find a creative solution, no matter how unusual, to every problem that comes my way. There's a lot more to me, and I'm sure a lot to you, If you like the sound of most of this, contact me. Robin
