update:
- I'm an amateur musician, photographer, video & music producer (indie)
- I have a day job, but it doesn't "define" me
- I don't have a PhD., but I'm not an ignorant unick; I know that Abraham Lincoln had almost no formal schooling when he was a kid, that Friedrich Nietzsche contributed greatly to existentialism and postmodernism theorems before he went crazy, that Helen Keller was unfortunately deaf & blind & she greatly inspires others, that Zoroastrianism is an ancient Persian religion.
- I'm NOT here looking for a job; therefore my credentials & academics have no relevance on POF, I think...?
- I'm NOT here for sex or one night stand...




I'm kind, fit, independent, romantic, nothing to prove, simple-life kind of a guy. I'm the last of the Mohicans. I'm not afraid to commit. I'm not clingy. I do listen. Yes, I really do listen. They said "beauty is only a skin deep" but it helps, especially when it comes with simplicity & good personal hygiene. I have a steady job, no substance or chemical dependency = yes, these could mean tedious or boring for some, but I have no "drama" related-issues. I'm geared for a long-haul & respect for her is a must. I like the "details" but I'm not suffering from an OCD, and will follow the "rules & regulations" when required. Long legs are not a requirement; but they will help greatly. It would be great if she's into music, she doesn't necessarily have to be able to play musical instruments, but understands music and its beauty. Open-mindedness, brainiac, witty & down to earth attitudes are sexy. I believe that relationship alone cannot survive without friendship, I'm not looking into "complicated or serious" things for now; companionship, friendship, or just that someone I could relate to, talk to... or perhaps be with. Time will tell, you never know, it may lead to something beautiful, or a beautiful friendship; Did I say simple-life? I admit that I don't know all the answers & I'm not trying to change you or "compete" with you; nobody wins when everyone's losing.

I'm open to any suggestions, no pressure; casual or non-casual, cafe', live bands, star gazing, lunch or brunch, pinot noir or table wine, cappuccino or sweet tea, take-out order or home cookin', etc., the venue is secondary, what matters is the companionship.
