I have an outgoing disposition, educated, well-traveled and inquisitive. I speak a little Mandarin and have traveled to almost every Chinese province. My favorite places in China are Guilin, Hangzhou and Shanghai.

I would really like to meet a lady of vision and maturity to spend the rest of my life with. She should be older than 35 and know how to dress and behave in company.

I am a businessman who came to China three years ago after being invited to do a study of the Chinese education system. I lived a year in Tianjin and have been in Shanghai for seven years. I live in Pudong near the middle ring.

I am fit and healthy and enjoy an active lifestyle. I do some corporate training and occasional teaching but will do less now as I am developing some business interests. I enjoy playing golf, and occasionally tennis and even basketball. I taught for three years at universities in Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing your photos.

First impressions are important and I am interested to see how a lady will be dressed and observe if she is a lady of taste or just looking for a meal ticket.

Ideally the first meeting will be a leisurely hour or two over coffee or cold green tea in a park. The discussion will be lively and stimulating. We will know almost immediately if this is a good match.
