A lapsed workaholic, a reformed bad-boy, jaded, but not cynical. Comparatively refined, not intolerably pretentious, occasionally even charming. Suave, but not slick. Have not yet figured out how to live life to the fullest. Outgoing, clumsy, shy and probably naive. A romantic, a strong emotional IQ, a free-thinker, a nurturer, a devoted father, an entrepreneur. People sometimes mistake me for an artist, but I’m a businessman. I run my own company in an intense but glamorous industry, am highly respected in my field, but keep it at a healthy arm’s-length. I've spent time abroad, speak a couple of languages, try to volunteer regularly, laugh easily, and can't help but see in the mirror an imperfect work-in-progress. Travel nourishes my soul, and I need to do more of it. Love most movies, theater, really good fiction, great food and people who don’t sweat the small stuff.

You probably don’t need to contact men. Your in-box is usually full, but you’re starting to think this whole thing is supposed to be about connecting with someone, not sifting though and managing endless emails. I don't really think it matters that much if we have the same taste in music or cinema, what you do for a living, or if you smoke or not. But it's important how you see the world, that we share the same values. You’re empathetic, passionate and warm, a little bit edgy, somehow exotic, and maybe not so easy to get to know quickly. A non-poseur. Etiquette is important to you. Feminine, but comfortable with less make-up. You've loved and lost. You’re evolved, but enjoy gender roles. Perhaps you’re foreign or have lived overseas. You’re definitely not a tomboy, probably not the girl next door, but you’re down-to-earth and can laugh easily at yourself. You want a grown-up who knows how to laugh at himself, too…
Pic's are mostly recent. Definitely look like me
