I would describe myself as intelligent, down-to-earth, easy going, open minded, honest and a lot of fun. I am very respectable to women and know how to treat them. I have an accounting background and have been involved in the financial markets for the past 10 . years. Most recently, I was the Chief Financial Officer of a broker-dealer that focuses on proprietary trading (that's trading the firm's capital), however I'm now trying to get a private investment partnership up in the next few months. I enjoy traveling, going out to dinner, occasionally going to bars with friends, sports, music, dancing, going to concerts, cooking, going to the movies or comedy clubs, staying home watching a movie with a bottle of wine and of course good company, anything outdoors (beach, golf, etc), playing poker (who doesn't these days, lol), working out, reading and pretty anything else that's fun. I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, open minded, down-to-earth and who knows how to have a good time. I'd really like to find my "soul mate". Someone that I connect with on multiple levels, including intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and ***ually. I want this person to be my best friend and the most important person in my life. I believe both parties in a relationship have to work at making the other person happy, but it should come pretty naturally if it is the "real" thing. I recently heard some wise advice which I'm sure I'm going to botch up a little, but I think I have the essence: "The only competition between a man and a woman should be who can make the other person happier." When I find that person whose happiness is directly tied to my happiness, I will know I found the right person. Maybe that person is you?
