Looking for progessive, moderate and intelligent conversations and connecti

ABOUT ME: Born and raised in the US, but not overly religious. Would prefer to find a woman in a similar situation. I am educated, professional, and love to converse on many subjects. As a person I like to think of myself as confident, but I'm very humble. I understand that there's a time to give and be loving and understanding. I also believe in standing up for what I believe and not being walked on. I'm always there for my friends and loved ones. I don't run from adversity. GOALS: Looking to find a way peace with friends, family and business. I am not fanatic about religion, or tradtions. I really want to find a woman to love and share in the beauty, that is life. I also want to continue to help those around me and for whom, I care to achieve their goals. WHY AM I DIFFERENT: I abeholden to traditional values. I find more value in a woman who can hold her own and is seeking to pacify others, traditons or family. Yet she knows how to value those things as well. Seeing how people treat others, and been treated personaly, gives me great empathy towards others. I am not perfect, but instead flawed, willing to learn, make mistakes and try again. In short I suffer from the something known as the "Human Condition".
