let me give you the cliff notes on me, and then you decide if i'm
worth responding to.<br />
<br />
the basics:<br />
<br />
i'm 34 years-old and a bay area native (yes, we actually
exist).<br />
i live in lower pacific heights. i'm the one guy in the
neighborhood without a dog, baby carriage, or investment banking
job.<br />
my friends describe me as witty, kind-hearted, creative, and a
bunch of other positive adjectives.<br />
<br />
random facts about me (in no particular order)...<br />
<br />
i run my own business - promoting restaurants, events, and happy
hours in san francisco. my job keeps me very active in the local
scene, so i'm looking for someone who can keep up.<br />
<br />
i'm not a marina boy - so you won't find me wearing a baseball cap,
a college t-shirt, or hanging out at the grove pretending to work
on my computer.<br />
<br />
i'm not a mission-ite - so you won't find me wearing a hoodie,
riding a road bike, and drinking blue bottle coffee (while making
fun of people in the marina).<br />
<br />
i don't play in a band; i don't surf; i don't rock climb; and i
don't have tattoos.<br />
<br />
i've never in my life received an email that actually made me
lol.<br />
<br />
i'm not a fan of movies that want me to believe cameron diaz and
kristin heigl have a hard time getting a date.<br />
<br />
i don't like rap. but if i was a rapper, i think my name would be
special k.<br />
<br />
i couldn't pick a jonas brother out of a line-up. and i don't
suffer from "bieber fever."<br />
<br />
i''m allergic to cats. because of this fact, i will never think
your cat is cute. sorry.<br />
<br />
things i like:<br />
<br />
a good sense of humor and irony (and not the alanis morrisette
kind).<br />
<br />
trying new restaurants around town (a nice perk of my job).<br />
<br />
i love tennis - i play in a league and belong to a tennis club in
marin (don't laugh).<br />
<br />
i recently started doing pilates and i kind of love it (seriously,
stop laughing).<br />
<br />
i really love traveling (as cliche as that sounds), and wish i
could do more of it. i've been fortunate enough to live in germany
and france, and vacation in thailand, australia, new zealand, costa
rica, europe, and the north pole (ok - that last place was a lie. i
just wanted to see if you were still paying attention).<br />
<br />
i love movies (i was a screenwriting major in college). if i was
trying to impress you, i'd tell you that my favorite movie was
"cinema paradiso" or "citizen cane." but the truth is, i'm a sucker
for "the goonies" and "anchorman." i liked the movie "inception,"
but couldn't for the life of me explain to you what it's
about.<br />
<br />
who i'm looking for...<br />
<br />
i like a woman to be sophisticated, smart, sassy (and pretty much
any adjective that begins with the letter "s"). someone who has a
zest for life; enjoys socializing; trying new things; and isn't a
debbie downer.<br />
i like a woman who's up to date on current events but will also
understand me when i make a tommy boy reference.<br />
<br />
looking for someone to challenge me; spar with me; laugh with me;
and call me out on my b.s. when i'm acting like a jack-ass.<br />
<br />
my promise to you...<br />
<br />
i will never wear socks with sandals.<br />
<br />
i will never roll my eyes when you get excited about the new
"twilight" movie.<br />
<br />
i will always be a gentleman and treat you with respect.<br />
<br />
so if any of this long-winded profile sounds remotely interesting
to you, please shoot me a line.
