Hi there! The things we can create when we put our minds to task are almost boundless. You're here to find something. We all have that chance. If I contacted you and you pass by that's okay. We all have ideas of what we want. As we grow those preferences become more grounded and revealing. It's a bit of a conundrum that we are here looking for a higher level connection with someone we find appealing to the eye and intellectually diverse however it can be more difficult than meeting each other in person. I am truly looking for that person who is good with me and that can't happen no matter what I write here. You're just going to have to meet me. If you're looking for the usual I'm not it. My moral compass is true and integrity is unwavering. I enjoy everything life has to offer tempered by an acute awareness of what truly matters. Couple that with a sense of humor that comes from a light heart and you may find me to be quite an outgoing character. Who am I? I'm a self-made man with a winning lottery ticket on life but appreciative of my gifts. My standards are high but grounded in realism and wisdom. I run my own successful, growing business. I was born in Brooklyn, NY and grew up in the Caribbean. I laugh a lot. I find humor in the most subtle of things; like how I ended up here. Darn Beach Boys and their "California Girls". Dating can be like a box of chocolates, you have to take a bite to see what you're going to get. Exposure to areas outside of your comfort zones facilitates growth. Growth is powerful. If you're a well rounded complete person with your own income, friends and life then it would be a good start for a match. I do not want to be the center of your world. I just want to add to it :) I want to learn from you. It is known that being in presence of the person you find captivating is the most definitive way to see if a subsequent rendezvous is in the cards or if you need to run for the hills. I will be respectful of your time. You will not be dating my representative. So you'll get the good, bad and the otherwise upfront. Can you admit yours? I've been married, got my butt kicked but it was a blessing in disguise as it helped me better myself in every aspect. My strength of character, honor and chivalry are solid. Magnanimousness. With a predisposition to laugh, smile and be goofy but yet witty and extremely intelligent I know I'm blessed. I tend to be that guy at the party who talks to complete strangers catching them off guard with a funny comment. I love to share and contribute to a good time but yet can carry the most intellectual of conversations. I tend to remember the compliments and forget the insults. I have high hopes and a trusting spirit. Pitfalls? We all have them in life but I remain in close fellowship with good friends to keep my bearings true. I stop and ask for directions when lost; even from the Man above. Being humble and non judgmental are ingredients to happiness. Most of us put our best foot forward here. Given the human condition this is understandable. This is just a starting point for those who are wise enough to know that time and resources are true facilitators of a successful match. For there is no "the one" but only good fits for we are all imperfect. Anyone looking for such will be forever disappointed. True relationships start with self actualization and not fulfillment from others. Some may call this being real. We should all strive to be a blessing to others. This likely requires us to be high up on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. After all sharing with others is what life is all about. I would like you to understand yourself and who you are. Although chemistry can lay waste to the best written profile here it is important to realize that in the end we all want the same things. It is just in our view of self and preferences in which we differ. I'm just a great guy, with a great life, looking for a great you to share it with. Can you catch me?
