25/m from Chicago looking for an older woman. To make it easier, I cut and pasted my profile from an online dating site (Matchmaker) below. I also added a couple pics. Let me know what you think.
What personal habits of others really irritate you?
I can deal with a lot, but there are a few things that get under my skin. I have a real dislike of ignorance. It drives me crazy when people spout off uninformed opinions. I'm also turned off by people who don't take care of themselves. Poor hygiene and poor dressing habits are a quick way to lose my
attention.
Describe your personality and physique. (Here is a good place to make up for not having a photo on-line or telling things photos can't tell).
Take a look at the pics. There will be more to come.
Which virtues give you most of your self confidence? If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I don't think that I would change a thing about my self. My self confidence
comes from my intelligence and many life experiences.
Where have you met most of your current friends? Describe your social circle of friends.
My current friends are a varied bunch. They come from all ages and races and
include doctors, lawyers, professors, bartenders, and cab drivers.
What is your insight into spirituality, and how do you practice this belief?
I consider my self a Buddhist, but I have been slacking in my attendance at
temple and daily meditation. I consider my beliefs very personal and do not
force them on anyone, or discuss them unless asked.
Do you belong to any organizations, clubs, teams, or special interest groups?
I belong to a health club and some political groups.
Favorite pastime? Sport? Hobby? Diversion? Just what goes on Sundays at your place?
I spend a lot of time reading and keeping up with current events. I'm usuallyreading a few books at once and read several magazines a week in topics as diverse as politics, art, business and culture. I also go to see live music at least once a week at attend the theater and gallery openings/museums quite
often. Sundays can be described in 3 words: New York Times.
How would you characterize your political leanings? (i.e. Democrat, Republican, Reform, Libertarian, Independent, radically left/right, don't care).
I'm a lefty and I am very active in politics. I have worked on several campaigns and keep up with local, national, and international politics.
What language(s) do you speak, read or write?
English, Chinese (Mandarin), German and French
If you could 'Do Lunch' with anyone, who would it be?
Andy Warhol
What is "SEXY"? What do you find "SEXY" in a partner?
The traits I find most sexy are intelligence and confindence. It's all in the way she can carry on a conversation and the way she walks into a room. I'm also a pretty fashion-conscious person, so being stylish is also important. By that i mean having a fashion sense and their own personal style. I don't consider wearing whats in the windows of mall store to be stylsh, its quite
the opposite.
What type of music do you enjoy? List performances or concerts you have attended.
As I said, I attend live music at least once a week. I like just about everything that you don't hear on commercial radio. I'm into garage rock, electronic music (Detroit techno, idm, ambient), old jazz (coltrane, davis, monk, blakey), REAL punk (dead kennedys, clash, black flag), avant garde composers, and opera for a start. I'll give more details if you'd like.
What are your all-time favorite movies and/or actors?
I'm a fan of Ben Kingsley, Dustin Hoffman, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Ed Harris,Gwnneth Paltrow, Christina Ricci, Meryl Streep. Top films, that's tough. I'd include The Graduate, Taste of Cherry, Cradle Will Rock, Ma Vie en Rose, Adaptation, Moulin Rouge, and many more. I go see/rent independent, foreign,
and "art" films quite often. You won't catch me at the multiplex in the suburbs!
Where do/did you attend high school and/or college? What are/were your favorite subjects in school?
I completed an BA a few years ago and I am will be soon
starting a MA program in Art History as well as getting my MBA.
Where were you born? What is your ethnic origin or ancestry? List some of the places you have lived or traveled.
I have been to nearly all 50 states and have traveled to Europe and Asia multiple times.
