Somewhat slow and peaceful outdoor activities like fishing, backpacking and camping are what I do the most, but at the same time I'm really up for anything*(one exception, see below). Other than that, I'm a student at NVCC Annandale campus and I plan on transferring to JMU as soon as I can to major in Geology.

What I look for in a woman is mainly just having a few common interests with me. I also need to be able to hold a good conversation with whoever I'm dating. How she looks is also a factor, but not in the same way as guys that just want to hook up with random girls they meet at clubs.

The hardest outdoor activity I've ever done was when I went caving in north east Alabama over spring break once. The limestone layer is so thick there that in a lot of the caves even the brightest headlight my group had with us couldn't reach the ceiling of the taller rooms. All we had above us in that case was complete darkness. A lot of it was like a hike with extremely rapid elevation changes and a roof above you that changed its height in whatever way would make your task harder.

The reason I list smoking as "sometimes" is because I have never smoked cigarettes. The only thing I smoke even somewhat frequently is a tobacco pipe. I PROMISE I WILL NEVER SMOKE AROUND YOU IF YOU TELL ME NOT TO. I don't even get cravings like cigarette smokers do unless it has been a few days since I last smoked, but even then I don't get irritable.
So I do not think my smoking should be a factor in deciding whether or not to start a relationship with me, but that's really up to you.

*Only exception: swimming. I became aquaphobic at a very young age. In spite of that, I learned to swim well enough that I can go canoeing or boating without any problems. I just never go into deep water unless I have to.
