-My name is Eric, I'm 6'3" tall, and I am a pretty chill guy.
-I'm picky when it comes to dating. That doesn't mean that you have to be a supermodel or a millionaire or something. You just have to be a the right match for me. I won't settle.
-I'm smart. I have a degree in linguistics and I teach full time at a community college.
-I'm a bit of a hippie, but not in a smelly, jobless, pot head kind of way
-I'm moderately athletic, and I'm working on becoming more so. I'm training for my very first triathlon this March. I'm not elite or anything, but I am trying to improve.
-I'm not religious. If you're religious, that's fine, but PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO CONVERT ME. I resent it.

-Smart girls only, please. Some guys like a dumb girl who can be easily manipulted. I'm not like that.
-Smoking is a turn off for me.
-Shallow, materialistic girls are a big turn off. If you would rather have a $1,000 roadtrip than a $1,000 diamond necklace, you are my kind of girl. Stuff is just stuff. Experiences are much better.
-Be ambitious... If you are not yet living your dream, that's okay, but you should at least be working towards it.
-...but not too ambitious. Remember that success is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. Seeking success for its own sake is shallow and lame. You should be seeking success for the sake of doing something great in the world. If you're working so much that you don't have a chance to live life, you might want to rethink your priorities a bit. Do what you love and love what you do.
In short, I'm looking for a smart, sweet hippie chick who has her life in order and her priorities straight. If you thin
