It's absurd to think that you could summarize a life full of experiences in just a few paragraphs. Mine has been more interesting than what you'll find in this essay. Here are some basics: I am employed as a scientist during nine to five hours. It is a great job that has provided me many opportunities, such as going back to school for a third degree (this time an MBA). I'm also a musician that plays occasionally in a weekend band. Some of activities I enjoy include trying new restaurants, dancing, cinema, pub games, checking out new bands, going to comedy clubs, wine tasting, and playing team sports. I have an intense desire to travel and see more of the world; my trips to Paris and Mexico were just teasers. I enjoy attending social events such as those put on by River City Professionals and Metropolis. I have a long list of things I want to learn whenever that elusive "extra time" should come around like cooking, golf, and scuba diving. One of my new addictions is biking around places like Forest Park. I'm hoping to get out on the Katy Trail this year.

So what brought me to internet dating? I am a social person by nature, and have no problems with public settings. However, I felt that this forum would increase my chances of meeting the type of high caliber person that I would want to have as a partner. Obviously physical attraction must be mutual. However, beauty is common and unimpressive without substance to accompany it. I get along best with those who can think outside the box, and don't accept dogma easily. My ideal counterpart has experienced the world and has something interesting to say about herself. I am seeking someone who can stimulate my mind that is also fun to hang out with. Hopefully that is you - let's talk soon!

A first meeting would ideally involve great conversation over a glass of wine, followed by an activity we both enjoy. I'm always up for trying something new.
