Hey everyone, my name is Ben. I’m 46 y/o and currently living in Sacramento, California.

I’m primarily of Italian ancestry. I’ve never been married and have no children but would really love to have a family of my own. So I am seeking a woman who shares values and mindset where our lives and personalities can complement one another and who hopefully wants the much of the same things as I do!

I plan to buy land most likely in the Sierra Foothills this year in Northern CA. One reason being I want a large parcel of land and second it is still close to my immediate family and parents.

I prioritize my health and it is important to me to find someone who does the same. I stay active with a mix of lifting weights, daily walks and hikes, rucking, mountain biking, kayaking, snow skiing. I love nature, camping and I am building out my truck to be more useful for overlanding. My way of eating is carnivore / animal based / prioritizing protein / The Weston A. Price Foundation I always try to eat the best quality foods, believing that is the best medicine and have been doing so for a very long time.

Libra / ESTJ / 6/2 Projector (Human Design) *If you're into that sort of stuff.

I am not religious, most accurately I would say I am an agnostic-atheist. I have my own sense of spirituality and I feel this most when in nature and when in devotion to those I love.

Interests: Homesteading, Permaculture, gardening, self-reliance, regenerative agriculture, soil science, composting, mycology, outdoors activity, foraging, hiking, biking, lifting weights, yoga, calisthenics, nutrition, cooking, overlanding, camping, personal growth, self-awareness, reading, investing, entrepreneurship, AnarchoCapitialism, voluntaryism, history, philosophy, emergency preparedness, firearms training, hunting, homeschooling if have kids, longevity medicine, fine dining, live music and MUCH more.

I am not cv-19 vaccinated and I never will be. I will not vaccinate any future children.

Academically, I hold a Master of Science in Nursing. CA licensed Registered Nurse. I continue to broaden my education formally, continually self-educating and consider myself someone who will never stop learning. Most recently I completed a 16 week ‘Root Cause Protocol Institute’ consultant program that I enjoyed. I have been working in allopathic healthcare system since I was 21 years old.

I will be happy and fullfiled to provide and serve my future wife and children if we choose to defer to my income alone, with a mix of my active income from being a RN nurse case manager (100% remote), and plans for passive/semi-passive incomes once on a property. I believe in traditional values in the sense of commitment, loyalty, and prioritizing each other and our family above all else.

I would like to meet a woman who is physically fit, active, and interested in holistic health. Someone who likes homesteading and living closer to nature. Strong preference for a woman who doesn't drink (or rarely does) and doesn't smoke.

Just imagining the possibility of dedicating myself wholeheartedly to my wife and my family fills me with an indescribable sense of fulfillment. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to experience all the joys that accompany life's special moments, as well as the growth that arises from navigating through challenging times together. I am warm, thoughtful, kind and affectionate, with high emotional intelligence. I have been doing the work for some time and matin a dialogue with a therapist and have a support network of men who are great friends, and a supportive family. I wish to be best friends and lovers with my woman. Ideally with equal but different complimentary roles within the lifestyle we co-create. Let's escape the matrix together and share daily laughs, peace and calm.

If any of this resonates with you and you think we might be a match feel free to DM me here and share at least a couple clear photos, and all the basics to start the conversation!

Thank you!
-Ben

I am going to add that I am not willing to date anyone who is not already a US citizen. I am willing to date long distance with someone willing to visit me, video chat, and I visit them with the goal of them moving here to California permanently within a reasonable amount of time.

Ben,

What a lovely post. I feel a deep resonance with everything that you've shared.

Irish-Italian, no marriage, no kids yet (based on cycles and AMH, assume strong fertility still), 44 years young. Healthy, Weston Price/GAPS/specific carb diet. No drinking or smoking. Interestingly, I've also been enjoying exploring RCP. Always health oriented, truth-seeking. No cv-19 vaccines; I intend to raise my children holistically/dirty as well, with food, herbs, water/fire/air/earth as medicine.

Active: open to fun play (most physical games/sports); weights, hiking, backpacking, foraging, exploring with an eye for beauty, resources, and nature observation.

Lifestyle: Permie, forager, herbalist, passionate nature lover; always deepening my connection with traditional and indigenous skills.
Offerings: craniosacral work, gut health practitioner, community education, permaculture volunteer/designer/educator, herbalism.

At home: traditionally-minded, calm, reflective, affectionate, yet assertive with my boundaries. Sweet, but scrappy. ;-) I love nourishing and supporting community and family with good eats and herbs, gentle truths, and lightheartedness. No TV "programming." Documentaries: yes. Connection, communication, education, music, dance, love, presence. Intellectually and emotionally intelligent (I've also "done the work"). Spiritually connected and grateful.

Leo/Virgo cusp, Libra rising. Meditation has blended me into 50/50 for all categories in Meyers Briggs except "P," which dominates at 60%.

Currently reside in the midwest; a move for the right man is possible. (I lived in the Sierra Nevada for five years and love it there.)

My interests: copy/paste your list, and add: Making music, dancing fireside, community engagement, yoga and embodied movement, envisioning, somatic healing, and more.

Tend toward paranoia with technology; if you're interested you can PM me and I'll send pictures.
