Hi there. I suppose you could say I cut this part of my life out when I returned to school to complete a Masters two years ago. Now that that is finally coming to an end, I'm looking to get back into the dating scene.

I'm a masculine, knowledgeable, and fit guy, a few months away from the big 3-0. I party it up on the weekend so that I'm reasonably relaxed before getting back to business Monday morning. I'm down to earth and slightly introverted, so I tend to be attracted to guys who are more on the outgoing side. I've seen a decent chunk of the world but not nearly enough (India and Brazil are on my wishlist).

A lasting connection of some sort would be ideal. For dating, I really only go for masculine guys around my age, +/- 5 years. That said, I'm open to chatting with anyone interesting on a platonic level. I figure expanding one's network is always better than retracting it.

Meme mieux si tu parles francais :)

Not that I require something well-crafted and original as an opening message, but something other than just "hi" would be appreciated, especially if your profile is sparse.

Thank you and goodnight.

Whatever. Just no Starbucks and no Kelly Clarkson concerts :)

NO sex hookups.
