I am averse to participating in any extreme adventure sports (barring the one time that Pop made me do it 
). However, I suffer from a severe bout of wanderlust and I am currently under therapy for my mad-eating-skillz (by eating more, of course!). I don't think I can date a person who is tamer than myself.
She may just not understand what I schedule impromptu road-trips, whine about the lack of regular travels, etc.

Hmm
I like doing ... stuff ... but I am not any good at getting started doing it
so, I'd prefer someone a but wilder who dragged me off on stuff
that being said, I tend to change slightly in the opposite direction of who I'm with, so if I was with someone "tame" maybe I'd end up scaring them trying to get them to do stuff

I think it's all mental.
I would prefer to date/marry an individual, but I wouldn't want to feel like this person was making me settle for grandpa/grandma life.
I think life is always about expanding your horizons and trying new things, I don't believe in boredom and nothing is worse than dating someone and they wake up one day and they're like "oh ya, i'm a little bit less interested in you today than I was yesterday..." wooops surprise!
How can you get bored of your spouse when you experience all of these things with them and even have children with them,
ya I can understand that things get a little predictable sometimes. but that spark has to stay.
Tamer, yes. But mentally only.

If he is tame and willing to try new activities, I don't see any problem. However, if he refuses to try things and is a home body, I don't think I can date him because I'm somewhat of an adventurous person and I love spontaneous road trips. I also enjoy staying at home relaxing or hanging with friends and family.

While I would admire someone being concerned for my wellbeing, thinking things through, doing something just to be with me even though their heart wasn't really into the activity itself, and someone who could maybe iron my edges out in a positive, loving way... I don't think I could endure life with a stick-in-the-mud. If you don't have the nerve to ride the Superman with me at Six-Flags, or go ziplining with me, or bungee-jumping, it's probably not meant to be. How in the world would you endure raising children? How in the world would you even work up the nerve to ask me out IN THE FIRST PLACE?
In short, yes, I could endure someone who is by nature tamer than I am... on the condition that they're willing to step out and have an adventure with me and enjoy it.

My ideal relationship would be that the guy would have no problem standing up to me and give me correction when I need it in a loving way and vice versa. We need to challenge each others walk in Christ and be encouraging while doing it. So I think it wouldn't work if he was tamer, because we need to be equal in that
