DATING:
Besides having the attraction and chemistry that works for both of us, I find nothing sexier than intelligence. Longing for hours of stimulating talks with humor and wit; over the phone, over dinner, or while strolling through gardens, galleries… running or hiking out in great outdoors or simply snuggling on the sofa. This is my idea of the perfect date or a life spent together.

OBJECTIVE:
Friends are always welcome, but I am looking for someone to share a life with. I am not looking to waste my time or yours. We write, we talk on the phone, we meet. If we both agree; we continue to date. If a year passes & we both feel the same, we should marry – with your permission of course {smile}. If this changes for either one, we will end it as friends. Life is too short to be in an unhappy relationship & we should respect ourselves & each other to be honest.

HONESTY:
A Sam Spade said “Always stick with the truth, it is easier to remember.” Though I will never try to hurt you or anyone’s feelings, I do prize truthfulness. So never ask a question you don’t want to know the answer to. I am straight forward & forthright in all my dealings & in my relationships... & if you are not, please pass me by.

RELATIONSHIPS:
I have never been married, never been engaged & I have no children – not surprising after the first 3-parghaphs {smile}. Not to say I had never been asked. I love children & would consider dating someone with a child or interested in having/adopting children. But if you are engaged, married, living with someone, call me when you’re not.

I am looking for Someone who compliments, each others interests, goals, and passions... but more than that expands my view of the world with hers. As with everything these are only points on a horizon, but what I believe I am looking for is someone interested in experiencing the world & life to the fullest, with a sincere desire of making it better for themselves & others. A true individual who’s integrity & confidence is evident by her unwavering demeanor & grace... who is articulate, intelligent, open minded, honest, & motivated, with a kind & thoughtful nature of understanding, & who possesses an adventurous heart & a child’s joy... If you enjoy good company & a wonderful sense of humor and think you have what I am looking for - and wants the same, Keep reading. Ethnicity not an issue: what matters is what one thinks, feels & believes.

INTIMACY:
Always a gentleman, apparently I am NOT trying to get anyone into bed. You should not judge your worth by any other means than that of your own character. By the way, a few dinners are not a serious relationship, but if it becomes one, I am VERY VERY affectionate. I love to hold hands, hug, cuddle; caresses, give massages (Thai), & most definitely KISS!

SECURE WITH ONESSELF:
I am friends with most everyone I meet, this includes past girlfriends & even a large number of women I met once, but decided not to date. Obviously we shared common interests & as such could at least be friends. As they will tell you, these relationships take the form of the occasional emails & phone calls, sometimes lunch, social events & even double dates. However, be rest assured, I am looking to find ONE woman. To marry ONE women, but I will never forsake my friends or my significant other… nor should you.

PHYSICAL FITNESS:
I bike 14-miles a day to & from the office. I run 8-miles on my days off & run the LA Marathon yearly since 2000. I practice weight-lifting & yoga & walk to most destinations within a mile of my neighborhood. I love swimming & hiking & occasionally play tennis, bowling, horseback riding & boat. A horrible spectator, I enjoy playing games of football or soccer (the other football). I can shoot baskets anywhere on the court, but can’t dribble to save my life (basically Around The World & Horse is all I am good for). I am very completive when it comes to golf (the miniature variety) & can, with some falling; water ski, rollerblade & snowboard, but not all at the same time. I would love to find someone who shares many of these activities & is open to trying or teaching me new ones.

HEALTH:
My doctor says I am the healthiest patient he has ever had & the United Blood Services tells me I am in the top 10% of the cleanness blood in America. I have great endurance & strength, perfect vision, though sometimes selective hearing {smile}. I intend to live to 107, so if you like me you should plan on getting use to me being around.

FOOD:
Blessed with a high metabolism, I am a healthy eater in both quality as well as quantity… as a vegetarian, I am especially fond of Indian & Thai food, but love almost every cuisines except for French & German (not surprisingly). It would be advantages if you too were a vegetarian, but it is not required. I have only had 5-dates in 5yrs with fellow vegetarians.

DRUG FREE:
If you are like many people, under the misconception that alcohol is “health” drink… may I direct you to WebMD which states: “If you don’t drink, don’t start & if you do drink, drink very little.” I do not believe in recreational drug use… including that of alcohol & tobacco & I would like not to be around those who do. I would like someone who truly doesn’t drink out of conviction (for health, for society or other personal beliefs). Please don’t say you don’t drink to go out with me, it really is not flattering. If you drink, I am sure you have your reasons, but if you have to lie about it, you may need to revisit your decision. RECAP: NON-DRINKER, NON-SMOKER, DRUG FREE.

PROFESSION:
A seriously responsible workaholic, I am an Industrial Designer who loves what I do. Having worked 6.5yrs with BMW, 6yrs with my own firm, I am currently I am Head of Design for a local housewares manufacture. I do travel to China about 3 times a year. I have dated every profession from doctors to lawyers to models (this is LA after all)... including vice-presidents & business owners to personal assistance & students… even a few heiresses. What matters is that you love what you do & that you have purpose in the life you wish to share with me, which should include goals.

GOALS:
Material wealth has no value to me and my goals are to be my best and to leave the world better than I had found it. I have started a non-profit and am working to start a small chain of boutique hotels to generate the needed revenue to change the world.

ASSETS:
I do bring something to the table for all my years of work. I own 17-properties (one of the ocean front properties is for the hotel, so don’t get any ideas), a comfortable home, 1-car, no TV and a very very small sail boat. But my true assets is my character.

INTERESTS:
I have traveled to 40-countires & still, I have an endless list of places to visit & experience. A lover of the Arts I enjoy: Jazz, R&B, Opera, Rock, Pop & Classical music. Plays, Ballet & Movies (all kinds especially good one's). I also love fun outings... visiting museums, galleries, amusement parks (the big kid in me), gardens, historical sites or any place of interest. You should have a passport and be willing to use it. Weekends are for play!

EDUCATION:
I have a degree in computer science & also went to university for Industrial Design. I don’t speak any other languages (beyond a dozen versions of hello, yes, no and thank you). I took Sign Language in school, but would love to learn as many languages as I can. I also have no musical skills, but plan to learn the piano in the coming year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ATTRACTION:
Though I am partial to beautiful eyes and great smiles I have no specific physical or Ethnic requirements. I primarily have dated women of African descent, but equally enjoy Indian, Latino, Persian, Caucasian, and Asian women.

AGE:
I am 41, but feel like I am 30. Ideally I am looking for a woman between 30 and 45 years of age, But if both the maturity and youthfulness is there, I would at least consider other ages.

RELIGION:
I will be supportive of your beliefs even if they are not my own, fore belief do not need to be justified – that is why they call them beliefs {smile}. I will be happy to attend any church or temple regularly as long as they do not preach hatred or intolerance -- bad business for any religion to traffic in, if we are in fact all God’s children. However I do not believe in a personal God (yes this means atheist). Believing in God is a beautiful thing and no one should try to take that away from anyone.
