ข้อมูลสมาชิก
I am a quiet, shy and average guy who is seeking a partner in life. Many people tend to misread me when they first make my acquaintance, but I am basically a person with whom still, calm waters run deep--there is quite a lot that is constantly going on in my head. I tend to come across very intense and stern; however, once a person gets to know me--and I loosen up and relax--I have quite the sense of humour...very dry indeed! Then a completely different person emerges that most people don't come to see.
I am also a very passionate and romantic person; I enjoy letting my partner know that I care about them and that they are greatly loved. Being from the United States (and being raised by a woman), I firmly believe in shouldering the responsibility for day-to-day housekeeping drudgery with my partner. It is quite a turn on for me to help my spouse with cooking dinner after work to spend time "reconnecting" after having been away from them all day.
I am presently working in the EFL industry in Bangkok, Thailand whilst I complete an MS in counseling psychology with Assumption University. My primary love--and something that I have quite a natural affinity for--is psychology. In my spare time I enjoy doing physical exercise (weight training/running/marital arts) and reading. My primary area of interest involves epistemology, existentialism, and metaphysics coupled with philosophy: I am deeply interested in exploring the issue of what "proof" there is for the existence (or lack thereof) of a deity.
My family comes from the deep south of the United States. Mississippi is where my father currently lives, and it is in this state that I have purchased property on which to eventually build my home. I have been all across Asia and lived in many of the countries of this region. Specifically, I have lived for several years in Osaka, Japan, 8 years in Seoul, S. Korea and, now, Thailand.

I hesitate to write anything about a "type" I want to meet; I believe that each person is special and must be taken on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they are that "special someone."
Nonetheless, it is possible to limit the particular person I would like to meet. Firstly, I feel I must find someone with whom I "get on" with in terms of friendship above all else. If a romantic partner is not your friend first and foremost, appeal and physical attraction is for nothing. I want someone with whom I enjoy their companionship, camaraderie and conversation in day-to-day life.
Secondly, I want a woman who is equal or superior to me as far as intellect goes. A companion who is equal in intelligence with me is quite a turn-on in and of itself.
Lastly, I would prefer a partner who is average to tall in frame, slender--and preferably with long to medium-
ภาพยนตร์ที่ชื่นชอบ:
I am particularly drawn toward romantic comedies such as Notting Hill, The Runaway Bride, Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral and the like. I also enjoy action/adventure movies such as The Tourist, World Invasion, Captain America, X-Men, Transformers, The Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Thrillers are also nice, along with animation movies like Rio and Kung-Fu Panda--but I am not a big fan of horror or scary movies.
หนังสือที่ชื่นชอบ:
I am a deep-thinker; as such, my most interesting books tend to be on the topics of existentialism, epistemology, meta-physics, and philosophy. A particular sub-category of reading involves scientific treatises on such subjects as cosmology, biology, palaeontology, archaeology, zoology, and evolutionary theory.
อาหารที่ชื่นชอบ:
Food is not something that I tend to invest much thought in; I eat to live and not live to eat. I enjoy mostly vegetables and low-fat meat dishes, but tend to avoid a great deal of red meat or fried cuisine. Noodle dishes are nice--and I am very curious about learning more about Thai food.
One big thing I would enjoy is to find a partner I could cook with, as it makes a great opportunity to spend time talking whilst at the same time I pick up a new skill.
ลักษณะการแต่งกาย:
I am an average looking guy; neither handsome nor ugly--but somewhere on the cline of in-between. My greatest assets are the passionate and "completely into" way I am with my partner, my “committedness” with one special woman, and the spontaneity of doing little things to express that love.
If you are looking for the next cover model of GQ (in the physical appearance category or in the dress sense), I am definitely NOT your kind of guy!
Of course, I dress according to the situation, and will wear the obligatory starched shirt and tie to the office. However, my favourite dress style is a comfortable pair of Levi's or Guess jeans and a T-shirt--the country boy comes out in leisure time!
อารมณ์ขัน:
While I am reserved when I first am getting to know someone, when I feel relaxed and at-ease with them, my witty sense of humor invariably comes out. I have a very dry sense of humor and enjoy making light of frustrating circumstances rather than get upset. I absolutely AVOID making humorous comments or wisecracks that are at the expense of others, as I feel this is too cruel and insensitive.
งานอดิเรกและความสนใจ:
My primary area/point of interest involves exploring the issue of whether or not there is any deity or creative force in this world; I enjoy reading on issues of scientific insight and evidential reasoning to answer this question.
Much more down-to-earth is my interest in exercise and physical fitness. I admit it--I am a big gym rat! I love working out and spending two hours (four days a week) in the gym just lifting weights.
I also enjoy listening to music and going out on occasion to a night club or dance club to TRY to dance--I'm not very good, but I like to try and fake it when I can.
I also enjoy exploring new vistas and venues such as walking about J.J. Weekend Market and looking at things or simply walking about in a mall or shopping centre and watching people--the psychologist coming out!
การเดินทาง:
Having been in the U.S. Navy, and having worked in off-shore towing afterward, the only places I haven't yet been are Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and the Middle East. I have lived extensively in Asia; five years in Japan, followed by eight years in Korea, and now I am living in Thailand.
I would really love to do a European tour and see the "Big Five" countries of the U.K., France, Spain, Germany, and Italy.
การปรับตัวกับวัฒนธรรม:
Understanding an adaptibility are essential in ANY relationship, but doubly so when dating someone outside your own culture. This idea was taught to me by a serious relationship I had with a Japanese woman; understanding the motivations and reasons for many of her actions showed me how to look at an issue from a differing perspective and TRY to see it from the other person's point of view. This isn't always easy to do, but it can be accomplished if one is willing to take the time to listen and perceive it through another's eyes.
Of course, such understanding and effort is a two-way street....
บุคลิกภาพ:
I am a shy, soft-spoken, and quiet guy; there is a saying in English that still waters run deep--I tend to epitomize this expression. I am thoughtful and contemplative most of the time and say little. Unfortunately my expression when I am doing so makes people think I am upset or angry. Quite the opposite--I am just deeply in thought.
I am just as deeply romantic and enjoy cuddling, touching, caressing, and snuggling with my partner. I would rather sit back and listen to the woman in my life speak her mind whilst holding her and feeling the warmth of her body along with the pulse of heartbeat and softness of her breathing than have a strong, into myself type of attitude or persona.
