Date a soulmate from San Mateo, United States. Hey there, thanks for swinging by. You are now automatically entered into the grand prize drawing.
I think I've figured out the purpose of this profile. It's like an essay for college. Your GPA (stats) and SAT scores (pics) are the bulk of the evaluation. The profile can rule someone out, but rarely rule 'em in. So I figure as long as the grammar is acceptable, Houston we are GO!
In all seriousness, I have a wonderful family, good friends, and a great calling for work. I aspire to live and grow just a few micrometers every day by a few principles: 1) Do good for the world (wouldn't everything be better with more random acts of kindness); 2) Learn something everyday (did you know Jack Daniels doesn't stay lit? Never knew...); 3) Invest in people and relationships (some evidence it helps reduce mortality); 4) Laugh as much as possible (that's free advice with a money-back guarantee). I figure if I can manage that while getting as much sun and exercise as possible, I should be good to go. Where to, I do not know... Want to come with?
So if you have taken your fair share of punches and rolled through 'em all, if you've stopped by to smell the roses even though you're late, if you appreciate genius yet find joy in the mundane, if you always want to go to the head of the roller coaster, if you take yourself seriously enough to snicker at the mirror... I say don't be shy. I think we'd get along just fine.
Meet a man from San Mateo, United States. I have lived in the Bay Area for much of my life, other than the years I went to school in SoCal. So I'm as close as one can be to being a Bay Area native without being born in the area.
I am a patent attorney. Lots of writing and reading. As you might expect, I have high expectations for good grammar, spelling, and the like. I practice fencing and plan on taking up shooting again after a long hiatus (thank you Top Shot for the inspiration!). Given all this, you might say that I am "wen wu shuang quan." (Good for you if you can figure out what this Chinese phrase is.)
I generally prefer home/indoor comforts and activities, but I also appreciate the occasional outdoor getaway (e.g., hiking).
I have what you might call an anti-sweet tooth. I don't like candies and most desserts.
Written words can only go so far to describe you and me. It is essential that we chat and meet in order to get to know each other fully. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
Date single man from San Mateo, United States. I come from a family-oriented Christian Lebanese culture. My family - parents, siblings, nieces and nephew - are extremely important to me. I have always been career-focused, at times excessively so, but have learned to balance my professional with my personal life. I've been to grad school twice (Berkeley, Stanford) and work as a high-tech entrepreneur. I love the freedom of being able to dedicate my time to building products that make a huge impact.
Keeping fit is very important to me. I grew up obsessed with sports (tennis and basketball) but my time on the court is limited these days. I do challenging workouts (Crossfit!), strenuous weekend hikes, and the occasional yoga session.
Some of my favorite activities include wine tasting with friends, trying out new restaurants, and spending hours on end at any coffee shop with free wifi and a clean bathroom. I have had the opportunity to visit over 20 countries as part of my first job and I love meeting people from different places of different cultures than my own.
I am looking for someone who is genuine, sincere, communicative and honest (almost to a fault). Someone who is close to her family, dedicated to her career, likes to keep fit, and is generally positive/happy. Someone who has an intellectual curiosity for anything and is capable of speaking passionately about it. Icing on the cake if you like deep spiritual or philosophical conversations. These qualities are very attractive to me.
Meet someone special from San Mateo, United States. I am looking for someone to hang out with, and get to know for who they are. I am looking for someone with similar interests. Honesty and communication are two very important qualities that I am looking for. I am an honest and easy going person with no drama. If you think we might have something’s in common or would like to know more send me an e mail. I look forward to talking to you.
Shaun.
