My personality is layered. On the outside I am very relaxed and candid and beneath, adventurous and inquisitive. I am mischievous by nature. I live with gusto. I adhere to relationships with family and friends. I am a devoted single father and loyal friend. The interests of my children have the highest priority tempered with my needs. I am witty, loving, genetically honest, ambitious, empathetic. My most passionate hobbies are horseback riding, Flamenco guitar and visiting Italy. I have competed in English style hunter equitation riding and loved it. I enjoy couples dancing, photography, writing and painting (when I have spare time). I also cook pretty well. I put my heart into everything I do. By profession I am a scientist/engineer. I am very independent. I cherish friendships with a few close friends with whom I connect well. When with friends, I love to spar and exchange jokes. I enjoy friends who keep me on my toes by slaughering me with clever wit. Some of my friends seem to think that I am a fine target for practical jokes. I'm not sure why! Looking For: I am looking for an elegant, bright, attractive and nurturing woman with decent values. I would like a relationship which begins with incendiary passion and settles into secure love. I am very attracted to a positive and cheerful personality as well a woman with refined communication skill. It would be wonderful to meet a woman who would expose me to new activities and someone who loves outdoor activities.
