Greetings! So I'm not entirely sure I like this online dating thing, but it's starting to grow on me now. I have too many friends that have found quality partners online, got married, and even voluntarily had children together, so I need to try my luck at this...

About me, I'm an attorney that works in Manhattan and is trying alternate ways to find someone outside of the bar/club scene. I'm half-Italian and half-Irish but have no preference in ethnicity for you and even speak French to help any communication problems we may have between us.

I'm very active, like to run, like the gym, I'm a red belt in tae kwon do, and just generally like to be outdoors whenever possible. I watch zero TV and don't have cable (I know, I know, how is that possible right?), but I do like to watch my netflix DVDs when going to sleep. But should you have cable at your place, I have no qualms about watching TV with you, as long as it's either super nerdy stuff, like history channel and discovery channel, or really trashy reality shows. I like the extremes.

Traveling is a passion, having been lucky enough to conquer 21 countries thus far. Scuba diving is something I can't do enough of and I supplement my lack of knowledge in pop culture (see the No TV line) with my expertise in all categories of music. My ipod is a part of me.

Qualities I see favorably in you: Intelligence, Sarcasm, Optimism, Motivation/Ambition, Great Smile, Table Manners, Lack of Cheating on Me

Not so great qualities hopefully not in you: Sedentariness, Arrogance, Lack of Independence, Gold Diggerishness

So bottom line, I promise you I'm a very down to earth, friendly, outgoing guy, and would be overjoyed to meet a fabulous lady to squire about town and hopefully all of my wildest dreams will come true.

Somewhere casual, cafe, after work, chat, see if any sparks start flying, then maybe dinner and drinks if I'm lucky.
