In His Own Words
About him
Old school, I believe in good manners. I am 100 percent trustworthy. If I give my word, you can take it to the bank.
Life has been an adventure . I've travelled widely, achieved the goals I set myself, and discovered that curiosity is the one companion that never grows old.
Had a career in Cancer Research (at Ivy League Universities in the US) . I write books—both fiction and non-fiction—and I am an artist.
My mornings begin before the rest of this crazy world has even opened its eyes.
There's a kind of magic in walking or jogging through the countryside at first light. I like the way the mist kisses the fields like a passionate lover's caress. For me nature offers an escape from the rolling useless information we are constantly fed.
Back home, it's a triple-shot Americano and a weight-training session. I even do facial exercises. Whether they take years off is debatable, but smiling certainly does—and I plan on giving people as many reasons as I can to smile back.
I've had my share of life's plot twists. They've left me optimistic rather than cynical. These days it's just me, and I'm genuinely happy with my life. The only thing missing is someone special to make the good days even better, the ordinary days more interesting, and the unexpected adventures twice as much fun.
I'm drawn to women who are kind, witty, curious about the world, and able to laugh—especially at themselves. Life is far too short for endless drama and far too precious to waste taking ourselves too seriously.
I'm not chasing money, status, or perfection. For me, those things have never been reliable routes to happiness. What matters to me now is enjoying life, remaining curious, and appreciating the people I meet. I've always believed that luck plays its part—but making your own luck usually works even better.
About his ideal match
I'm attracted to mentally strong women—those who are intelligent not just in what they know, but in how they think, speak, and see the world. Curiosity is incredibly appealing. I love conversations that can wander effortlessly from something profound to something utterly ridiculous without either of us losing the thread.
A little wildness wouldn't go amiss either. Someone who's free-spirited, comfortable in her own skin, and isn't afraid to colour outside the lines every now and then.
Of course, chemistry matters, but for me the greatest attraction is discovering that someone becomes even more interesting the longer you know them. The best people always seem to have another layer waiting to be uncovered.
A sense of humour is essential. If you can laugh at yourself, enjoy quick-witted banter, and occasionally tell me I'm talking complete nonsense (preferably with a smile), we'll probably get along very well.
Kindness, though, is what I admire most. Someone who treats people well, communicates honestly, and makes life feel lighter simply by being in it.
I'm not looking for perfection, a polished image, or someone trying to impress the world. I'd much rather meet a woman who's intelligent, funny, emotionally mature, genuinely kind, and unapologetically herself. If that's you, I suspect we'd have plenty to talk about.
