Hello there!Sometimes life has its awkward moments, and this is one of them. It’s interesting how much one must think when they try to really describe one’s self when they want to make a good first impression and only have a few minutes to grasp the other person’s attention and interest. But I like to jump in the water and swim! I'm one of those easygoing men who enjoy living and life itself. I've seen both the good and the bad and I have learned to appreciate all life has to offer, because it's such a special gift. I'm not the type to get caught up in irrelevancy or trivialities and I appreciate true meaning. This doesn't mean that I don't love to have fun, and I think I have a fun-loving part of me that must always be satisfied. I also appreciate balance, peace and harmony. These are qualities I look for in others, both friends and more. I hope you see like this, too.
You know, I really appreciate beauty and aesthetic and look for it to the best of my abilities - especially feminine beauty and sensuality. Might I say the women are the most beautiful of all!
More about me...I love to go on adventures and enjoy physical fitness, nutrition and keep myself quite healthy. Everyone says I look a lot younger than I am (quite possibly, I'm being flattered!)...I like to say that I'm 27 for the 14th time! Indeed, I love to keep a youthful spirit. A healthy lifestyle doesn't hurt, either . I also enjoy music and concerts. I'm a musician (drums – alternate rock, fusion and progressive metal) and appreciate many types of music. I also consider myself to be a rational thinker and I keep tight reigns on my impulsive side. I tend to be quite passionate in everything I do and I take great pride in reaching a successful outcome in my commitments. I have won big and lost big, been rich and been broke (broke again), and as a result of the experiences that come with both of those places, I look things a bit differently than most people.
I also consider myself to be a respectful, attentive, dedicated, focused, honorable gentleman. I'm not arrogant or cocky and I am not motivated by immature urges. I like to think that I have been fortunate to have experienced uncomfortable circumstances so I could sort out what's truly important and what is nonsense. The positives are mainly honesty, loyalty, love and peace. So much!
I'm hoping that you've read this far because this is where I get to talk about you. I'm hoping that you are introspective, thoughtful and, forgive me for sounding corny, snuggly. I also am hoping that you are confident and have an independent spirit. I think you'd agree that it's a bit difficult to articulate a list of options like we do when buying a car “she's got to have a/c, power windows, etc.” Really, I'm impressed by a positive attitude more than anything else. I believe that this is our fundamental choice in life: we can choose to see things from a positive perspective, or not. This attitude affects everything else in our lives.
So this said, I'd like to meet you and get to know you. Do send me an email!Thanks for reading!

Если я тебе нравлюсь, то я от тебя хотел бы получить письмо! - Я тебя не могу ждать навсегда!
"я помню чудное мгновение передо мной явилась ты как мимолётное вадение как ангел чистой красоты” –Пушкин
Como descreveria o seu parceiro ideal?
She is affectionate and loving, and makes me feel perfect despite my infinite imperfections. She's also loyal, sensual and patient.
Se soubesse que o mundo ia acabar dentro de 30 dias, o que faria?
Spend it with my children in a place where there is peace and tranquility.
Se tivesse 10 milhões de dólares para gastar, o que faria com eles?
The last time I had 10 million dollars, I lost it, so I'd hope that should I have it again, I can keep it and so something productive with it. I've wanted to form a charitable foundation that helps to provide food for needy families (we have problems in America, too) and take a vacation to Russia with my children.
Quantas vezes e a quem pede conselhos?
I seek advice from those who have had success in pursuits in which I endeavor and desire success. I say this, "if you want to know how to cook, ask a chef!"
Qual a qualidade que mais valoriza nas pessoas do seu sexo?
Confidence, ability, discipline, commitment, loyalty and integrity.
Qual a qualidade que mais valoriza nas pessoas do sexo oposto?
Loyalty and patience, as well as honesty and sincerity. Beauty is good, too. I also value a woman who is willing to tell me what she likes and dislikes.
Que evento recente se destacou na sua vida, e como o afectou?
I've had big success and big loss. The most prominent event was that I realized that I shouldn't measure myself and determine my self worth by my material success or failure and that I should measure myself by the positive contributions I make in the lives of others.
Qual o principal conselho que vai dar aos seus filhos?
Work damn hard, read all the quality books you can, never quit and if you give your word, keep it.
O que produziu a maior impressão (choque) em si?
My realization that everyone has unlimited abilities to bring about anything in life that they desire and are willing to commit to.
Qual o último livro que leu?
I've read many books, but a very good one is Passionate Minds by David Bodanis. It's the account of the love affair between the French "gadfly" Voltaire and his mistress Emilie du Chatelet. Emilie was brilliant and the French still use today her translation of Newton's Latin Principia.
Quais são os seus objectivos agora?
To increase the amount of positive energy in the universe!
Quem é que admira?
People who truly love from their heart
Tem muitos amigos?
Yes
Qual a qualidade que menos gosta numa pessoa do seu sexo?
Most men are pigs and misogynists and have no respect for women. It makes it hard for the decent men to be seen as decent men.
Qual é o defeito que menos gosta numa pessoa do sexo oposto?
I accept women as one of the great mysteries of the world. No dislikes.
O que gostaria de mudar em si?
I would love to be 16 again and know what I know.
Quais são os seus defeitos?
My faults are that I have too many faults. I don't know if there's enough room to list them all.
Quais são as suas qualidades?
I'm exceptionally capable and passionate about what I do. I'm also sincere and intelligent. Loyal as well.
Como é que os amigos o vêem?
As a man who gives his word and keeps it.
Como é que os conhecidos o vêem?
The same way, but sometimes they are intimidated by me. I'm really a big "softie" on the inside.
Quais os seus jogos preferidos?
I don't play games
Quais os seus escritores e poetas preferidos?
Sun Tzu, H G Wells, Robert Greene, Napolean Hill, Pushkin, Lermontov...too many to list!
Que tipos de música gosta?
I'm a musician, so I like all of it. But If I'm making the choice, I'd select very good techno, alternative rock and progressive metal. Then Jazz, then the symphony.
Qual a sua comida preferida?
Fresh veggies and fruits and nuts - I'm nuts about nuts!!!
Quais os seus filmes preferidos?
Good question, but I don't have an answer
Qual o seu conto de fadas preferido?
The story about the boy who cried wolf
Qual o seu passatempo ou hobby preferidos?
Exercise, reading, family time, travel and quite time
Qual é o emprego dos seus sonhos?
I don't dream about work. Work is a means to an end. I dream about life.
Fale-nos sobre o parceiro dos seus sonhos.
She'll find me
Onde quer viver?
The entire world is my home
