Profile - Spideryarticle

I would describe myself as:
I'm an unattached guy - by tragedy, unfortunately; I have an 10 year old adopted son. I'm self employed - property area. Physically strong and very active - mainly triathlons & open water sea swimming.I'm kind hearted. A deep thinker - tormented with ideas, some of which I hope will bring me glory or at least the satisfaction of knowing I tried something big and bold; a poet of sorts - but only for my eyes; an uncontrollable daydreamer; yet rational and stable. Mr. Punctionality - it's not me, though I wish I could improve. Disciplined in some ways - pursuit of goals and ideas, exercise and healthy living; lacking in discipline in other areas - mainly effective use of time. Much younger than my age at least physically. Vegetarian since I was 24 - though I eat a bit of fish every now and then; very little dairy; absolutely organic when it comes to fruit and veg. I need exercise - it's my drug of choice, that and coffee and dark chocolate.A bit of a sentimental fool; I'm the guy trying to hide the tears at the movies; I tend to favour comedies: I avoid movies that tear at the heart strings because they do the trick on me; but I like most movies that aren't violent - I hate violence; having said all that - I actually have seen very few movies for the past few years.An atheist. Always pondering. Always friendly and welcoming but a little less sociable, as I'm a bit protective of my time and space.First impressions identify me as a nice guy, but I would like people to know that when it comes to understanding our world, my philosophy is a little darker and edgier.Two sayings might give an insight to my make-up: 'There is nothing wrong with not knowing'; The pursuit of knowledge comes from 'not knowing'. 'No guts, no glory'; Stand up, be seen, sometimes you will fail but you will also succeed.I'm well travelled and have lived in NYC, Boston, San Jose, CA; Toronto; Tokyo; London; Munich (a short stint) ; and I have travelled extensively in Europe on business. Therefore I am multi-culturally aware.I'll have to read over this stream of consciousness later and edit it, but I'll let it go for now.

My ideal partner would be:
Non smoker, non religious, positive outlook, active - strong outdoors type. Late thirties to early forties. Liberal. Modern. Intellectual.

My ideal date would be:
1st date - a chat in a nice coffee shop.
