Date a man from Redwood City, United States. I really wish Whole Foods in San Mateo would have a number system at the meat counter. Not having one creates this uncomfortable situation where people are looking around at each other, wondering who is next, not wanting to cut, but also not wanting to let anyone cut. Occasionally there’s some clever body positioning that takes place, which often involves a series of baby steps. Eventually the guy yells, “I can help who’s next.” (Bad grammar but somehow that’s the accepted phrase). When this happens people do a quick look around to see if they’re in the clear. Occasionally your eyes will lock with someone and there’s a brief but slightly tense moment. Most people, wanting to avoid confrontation, will say, “Go ahead” or actually tell the guy, “He’s next”. The aggressive types avoid all eye contact and simply start blurting out their order at the first opportunity. Now, let’s get back to that numbering system. It’s simple, it’s easy, everyone gets it (almost), and it works. Yet Whole Foods resists. Why, I don’t know. I could do something. I could complain, ask to see the manager, write letters, start a blog. But that’s not my style. Instead I’m just going to throw this message out into the abyss and hope that someone finds comfort in knowing that, when it comes to frustrations of grocery store shopping, you are not alone!
Some things to know about me:
• Sometimes I open a Snapple just to read what’s under the cap.
• I never stopped eating carbs.
• I read Astronomy magazine
• I know that monogamy is not a type of wood.
• Bread crumbs make everything taste better.
• When I see a young child with a mullet I feel genuine sympathy.
• I don't get why they stopped making the board game Hungry Hippos.
• After a few cocktails I steal food off people’s plates.
• I accidentally got a knife past airport security.
• I think people who put dogs in strollers should be fined and put in therapy.
• Kevin James’ dance scene in Hitch is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
• I have no will power against cupcakes (does anyone?).
Meet someone special from Redwood City, United States. I am an easy going guy, like to stay busy in life and always on the look out to try new and exciting things, there are plenty of things that I have never done so that should be no problem. I enjoy doing things in the outdoors; kiteboarding, mountainbiking, cycling in general, roller hockey.
Food is definitely one of my passions. I love eating out in all sorts of places, but I also love to cook for people. Love to educate myself by reading on a variety of topics.
Traveling is another thing I truly enjoy, love to experience new people and places.

My Ideal Partner/Relationship: Chemistry, Values & of course, Compatibility!

-Someone who is comfortable with herself and can have a great time/adapt to any situation.
-Independant and self-sufficient not pampered..she enjoys being taken care of but doesn't require it.
-Strong value system, easy going and must have a sense of humor to laugh at my sometimes cheesy comments.
-Smart and Intelligent but more importantly just street smarts
-Someone who is committed to her ideas and passionate about her interests.
-At times, she likes to stay in, cuddle and watch movies but can also get ready for cultural events and a night out in the city...

But at the end of the day, real chemistry is the key...and everything else will follow...you can't write about that in this section, you have to experience it.
