Eternalmonk, 49

Complex Man trying to lead a Simple Life I Have walked the Path alone for almost 12 years now. I try to hold true to the teachings of Buddha with a few exceptions that I still struggle with. I do not cling to the material. I try to be an open palm, not grasping at knowledge so that I can always be open to new knowledge.

I have tried other dating sites with no success... not even a single response, actually. I'm tired of women that are superficial or looking for a "real man." I can honestly say that I don't know what a "real man" is, but if being a good man is not enough, then we have very little to speak about.

I am honest to a fault. I will not sugar-coat the truth in order to make myself appear to be something I am not. With that being said, I will admit that I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. That is my burden. My responsibilty. It is not Me, nor does it make me Who I Am. I own my illness. I am in therapy, take medication and have embraced the Path because of it.

Life throws enough drama into the mix through time all on its own. I do not like external sources of drama, but I understand that when emotions are involved and passions run high it's bound to happen.
I can honestly say that I am looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. I have chosen to be alone for almost 12 years now partly because I was not ready and partly because I have not found another person who is ready.

Are you ready?

I am looking for someone to challenge me, to learn from, to walk side-by-side down the Path of Life: through good times and bad. Someone that will accept me for who I am and love me despite my flaws.
