NOTE: My daughter is 27 years old. If you are younger than that, go away - I'm not a pedophile. If you are closer to her age than you are mine, go away - I raised a daughter, I have no desire to raise a wife. My tastes are eclectic ... my background in military intelligence, my university education is in Soviet & East European Studies, I'm a computer programmer, and I occasionally try to sing opera (BADLY) - I just like the way my chest vibrates when I'm resonating properly. I'm very laid back and easy going, but I'm no pushover - people usually find themselves unplesantly surprised when they think that. I believe in treating people the way I would myself wish to be treated. I'm interested in other cultures, I'm a music freak (I have the equivalent of 10,000+ CDs on my computer right now, ranging from classical to blues, jazz to top 100s, with a healthy dose of Chinese, Turkish, Japanese and god knows what else). I am not religious, but I have a strong moral character and an almost anal sense of ethics because my father taught me what it was to be a man.I am not looking for games, or an on-line girlfriend, or a cyber-mate. I've been alone and concentrating on raising my daughter - now that that's done, it's time for me to find somebody for myself.
