Date men and women from United States / California / Monterey Park, 36 year old

Date people from California, United States. I love to cook, though I have a hard time cooking for one; usually I make enough food for 10! nah... I just found it funny so to make the reader of my profile laugh.
I am just an ordinary man looking for a healthy relationship. We will cope with differences, set priority, maintain and be responsible in the relationship.
Basically I just want someone to enjoy simple life and exploring more together.
I think physical attraction generates the chemistry, personality compatible grows the relationship, and faith is how we go through the changes together.
I used to go to church regularly but now only going from time to time. I still pray most of the mornings I woke up, this is good to tune up my mind for the day.
God taught me having faith, hope, and love. Happy things won't happen everyday, when I face difficulties that beyond my capability, I thank God who taught me faith to know I can overcome it, to know that there is a way to overcome it, and to know that even I can't make it I will still be loved.
I like sports badminton, swimming, basketball. I swim in the mornings during weekends, I play badminton 1 to 2 times a week. I like singing also sometimes my friends would come to my place to karaoke.
My house is in Monterey Park and I love living here quiet and some view from hillside. I was originated from HK and immigrated here 17 yrs. My family currently is in HK. I graduated from ucla and I have been working for 14 years, 4 years in management and now working on software development.
The more mature both are, the happier the relationship can be. The more mature I am, the more I understand and care about others.
One test shows me as the following type:
"About my personality
I am an independent thinker who builds theories and approaches problems with an analytical, exacting, systematic and resourceful mind. And with my persistence, logic and determination, I tend to find innovative solutions to complex problems. I am particularly good with technical problems, those of mechanics, engineering, math, medicine, accounting, music or other "rule based" systems.
Although I enjoy being part of a stable, secure social network, I easily spend time alone, pursuing my own projects and goals at my own speed, according to my own rules. I can focus my attention to the exclusion of all around me. And I have a deep sense of autonomy.
I am a private person; I contain my emotions. I am also calm, efficient, quick to make decisions and remarkably self-disciplined. Yet I have a traditional, even sentimental streak. Family is important to me and I can be very protective of those I love.
Relating to others
I love knowledge, so I engage my friends and family with rigorous, theoretical and broad discussions that can be highly entertaining and informative. And when I am interested, I can be a very insightful companion.
Love and relationships
As a Director, I tend to be loyal, uncomplaining and not possessive. I like individuals who want to play with abstract ideas and explore the complex ways the world works. I seek a "mind mate." Because I am often direct and bold, I unconsciously seek someone who is socially nuanced. Because I analyze my emotions, as well as hide them, I also like people who are emotionally expressive. Once I find someone who fits within my mental template of the ideal mate, I can dedicate myself to this partnership. And once committed, I feel pledged to the union--often long before wedding." hmm...

Meet single man from California, United States. Hello, I am a caring, intelligent, fun, and good man. I enjoy tennis, hiking, snowboarding, trying new restaurants, relaxing at the beach, reading, and watching movies. I lived in northern California when I was an undergrad and Colorado for my graduate studies.

Date a man from California, United States. Hello,
I am a first generation scientist since birth. Since my mom and dad are not scientists, the only explanation is that the scientist gene must be recessive. NO, I am not admitting to being recessive - only to inheriting a recessive gene. Whether or not I am is for you to find out :). I am a rare breed of scientist called a protein crystallographer, among a few thousand on planet Earth (I have no clue how many are on other planets). It may be a mouthful, but it basically means I bring proteins to life by revealing what they look like. The adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" beautifully summarizes what I do. It is a very rewarding profession but it doesn't define who I am.
I just returned to Los Angeles after a 10 year hiatus out of state to MD, DC, LA, and VA in pursuit of an academic career that culminated in a professorship at a medical school in New Orleans. I returned to be closer to my family, with the intention of starting a biotech company working on cancer proteins, and lastly, but just as important, to be able enjoy the numerous outdoor activities that the City of Angels and surrounding communities have to offer. I love any activities that involve exposure to spectacular scenery and communing with nature to escape civilization once in a blue moon. I try to do at least one extended outdoor trip each year. Currently, I am preparing for a two week canoeing, hiking and backpacking trip in early August in the Grand Tetons in Wyoming with friends. You are welcome to join. It won't cost you an arm and a leg - just your muscles and an adventurous spirit.
I am hoping to find an independent, free-spirited and kind-hearted lady of any nationalities to rediscover the city, and perhaps to share my life with if it leads to that. I am very approachable and promise I won't philosophize - having a PhD just means I am highly trained in something, not necessarily that I am a philosopher, which I am definitely not!
Here are some haikus about me and who I am looking for. If you’re interested in doing some activities with me, feel free to initiate an email to me or respond to mine. I won't take offense if you don't respond to my initial email - life is too short to waste on that. I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
