... on HIMSELF
Strengths: "Creativity Some of the most exciting places in the world to me are inside my own mind. Passion - I'm passionate about life and its possibilities. Wisdom Not that I consider myself wise, but that I seek the wisdom to make good choices and to bring happiness into my life and into the lives of those around me. Optimism Some might say I'm an idealist and a dreamer, I just believe anything is possible and that life is what you make of it. Charm Okay, I just had to throw that one in."
Weaknesses: "Distraction Sometimes my excitement about new ideas leaves other areas of my life neglected. Passion The right mood and the right situation can be trouble if you know what I mean. Risk-taker Okay, this might also be a good quality, but I'll put it here because I may not always be sensitive to the risk-averse. I can't fall asleep during a
movie. I love movies, I love involving myself in them... I have a hard time
pulling myself away no matter how tired I am or
how bad the movie is."
Others may not see: "I'm hysterically funny."
Interests: "Learning, creating and loving (and having fun with all three). Intelligent debates and passionate discussions, inventing, film (writing, directing), music (singing in the shower, salsa dancing), athletics (ultimate Frisbee, basketball, volleyball, skiing)."
Turn-ons: "It¹s all about sass, class and a sense of humor. A woman with intelligence, wit, strength of character and all the while vulnerable. A woman who is competitive, can hold her ground in a debate for the sake of the discussion, who is open-minded, who doesn't hold tight to blind convictions and can laugh at anything life can throw at her. A woman who is adventurous in all the aspects of life (physically, mentally, spiritually, etc.) Someone who can see the divine, the infinite potential in other people. Oh yeah, and someone whose got the looks to compliment all of the above." ;-)
Turn-offs: "Materialism. Close-mindedness. Lack of humility. Someone who takes themselves too seriously. Lack of confidence, I could never do that. Catty, gossipy, trite. Stresses out over trivial things. Flighty, jumps around erratically through conversation topics (lack of depth). Irresponsible, disrespectful, overly concerned with what other people think. Someone who wants to live a lavish and `easy' lifestyle."
15 minutes of fame: "Helped develop a radical new zipper technology (Quad
Zipper), which in turn landed us on a reality television show for inventors called Made In The USA, on the USA Network among other accolades."
Travels: "Served as a missionary for two years in Brazil."
Spirituality: "Strong Christian values and beliefs. I believe a life that is worth living is filled with faith, hope, and love. I believe the direction that you are going is more important than where you are. I don't believe anyone has the right to judge other people, and therefore, everyone should be viewed for their inherent divine potential."
Fashion sense: "Sometimes I don't make much sense but every once in a while I think I get it right."
Staying healthy: "I've devised a way to power my computer with my treadmill, it will only work when I'm running. Of course, this makes typing difficult, but, uh, it's worth it. Actually, I exercise every day and play sports throughout the week."
What touches my soul: "Inner beauty, grace, courage and strength."
... on WOMEN
I first notice ... "her smile. If her smile tells me she is genuine, relaxed, confident, warm, sassy and witty, then it's told me everything I need to know. If her smile tells me she's fake, flighty, shallow, uninteresting, and not engaging, then, again, it's told me everything I need to know. Now that I think about it, maybe it's not the smile alone, It may be in the eyes. I think the eyes tell the true story behind the smile."
Attention-getters: "If she's anything like what I've been describing, chances are, she already has my attention." ;-)
Ideal Woman: "Sense of humor, sense of spirituality, not shallow or materialistic (I’d prefer living a humble and comfortable lifestyle to living in the mansion on the hill and driving the fancy car), optimistic, upbeat, socially graceful, no “princess” complex, intelligent/quick-witted – loves to debate ideas."
Most important quality in a woman: "Confidence. A person who doubts their own abilities doubts their own worth and can have no vivid hopes of achieving their dreams or reaching their potential and will, consequently, drag down or hold back those around them. A woman who is confident will see endless possibilities and that is attractive to me."
Ideal date: "Great conversation, the kind of conversation where you let go of trying to impress, feel completely at ease and verbally embrace the person you're talking to. For some reason I've found that good food seems to foster the best conversations so food is a definite must. The ideal date will also involve an activity or competition of some kind. Never underestimate the romantic potential of grocery shopping or a great game of
scrabble. Finally, top it off with the kind of hug or kiss that lingers that, with a bit of playful sass says, `You're lucky to be here with me' and that with a soft vulnerability says, `I'm lucky to be here with you.'"
I would never date a woman who ... "thinks happiness, value and success are tied to money ... who complains, who is judgmental, overly critical and/or insensitive."
What makes a woman unforgettable: "If she's insightfully witty and real or if she has superpowers, it will be difficult for me to forget her."
I wish women understood ... "we really don’t care AT ALL about Brad, Angelina and
Jennifer. Also guys want to be romantic and want to show that they care. But you do them (and their actions) a great disservice by expecting it from them."
... on RELATIONSHIPS
On relationships: "The RIGHT relationship is VERY important to me. In the right relationship I feel inspired, motivated and challenged to be the best person that I can be. I feel like I can accomplish
anything. In the right relationship I feel completely understood. And I feel validated for who I
am. All committed relationships should be about coming together, growing together. They should be about honest communication and a mutual desire to understand and care for each other. There is no room for selfishness in a
relationship."
Top relationship keys: "Communication ... Openness ... Willingness to completely understand one another ... Know their passions, dreams, sensitivities ... Know how they express affection, and how they best receive it ..."
A woman in a relationship with me can expect ... "endless possibilities."
What I expect: "I expect to be understood, supported and appreciated. I expect to be challenged and entertained with intelligence and wit. The only reason I can say that I expect this, is that I plan to give it. Oh, I also expect to eat better than I do as a bachelor."
When I'm in love, I ... "am hopelessly romantic."
What makes me feel close to a woman: "When we both completely understand each other, when there's no need for words, when a simple look can melt me."
Greatest relationship lesson: "There have been many times when I’ve been reserved or
standoff-ish around a girl, a friend, who cared for me. I did it with the intention of not giving them reason to hope for a relationship. The last thing I wanted to do was to hurt them. The lesson that I
learned, however, was that I was doing them a disservice by not allowing them to love. When someone loves someone else, pain and heartache are risks they are willing to assume. And by denying them those risks and possible consequences, you are also denying them the simple joys of caring. In short, it is
an act of selfishness to deny someone who loves you the ability to show or express that love."
What makes a woman marriage material: "Selflessness, desire for children, a sense of responsibility, spirituality, strength of character, humility."
... on SEX
What makes sex good: "I¹m going to go on a limb and replace `sex' with `intimacy' and what makes the intimacy good (kissing, hugging, or otherwise) is when for that moment, time stops, and you feel completely understood, completely accepted by the person you are sharing the moment with and you know, or feel, and take comfort in knowing that there is no place either of you would rather be than right there together."
I feel my sexiest when ... "I'm building something. Men like to feel like, er, Men. When I’m building, creating, writing, designing ... I feel like I am making my mark on the world (don’t confuse that with ‘marking my territory’ ;-). Men tend to identify themselves by their accomplishments, their contributions. I am no different. I remember one afternoon a few years back I was mugged by another guy with a knife. He stole my camera equipment (that cost thousands of dollars and was my only means of providing a living as a videographer). He then slashed one of my car’s tires so that I couldn’t follow him. This was the first time in my life that I had to change a tire. I remember driving away feeling incredibly sexy. ;-)"
Sexiest thing a woman can wear in private: "A coy and inviting smile."
Surefire way to seduce me: "Feed me."
... on LIFE
Making my mark: "I am currently working with a team on a web project that could have a tremendous impact on how we interact with the world and each other. Also, I have a passion for films and would like to write and direct a series of films based on stories that I've written. However, I hope my greatest impact is in how I've treated the people around
me."
Valuable life lesson: "All that matters in life is that we learn to love, that we love God, our fellow man, our spouses, our children and ourselves. A man can make millions, and yet have no meaningful relationships and that is the sad state of the temperament of
our society. Give me a life of Ramón Noodles, surrounded by those I love in a family that supports and cares for each other and I'll be the luckiest person in the world."
Best advice received: "Love."
Best advice I've given a woman: "Call me." ;-)
... on HIS FAVORITE THINGS
Movie: "Sneakers."
TV Show: "CSI."
Book: "The Tipping Point."
Music: "Acoustic Rock."
Food: "Shredded pork luau sandwich."
... final THOUGHTS
Pets: "I love dogs. But I don’t currently have any pets."
Always in my refrigerator: "Orange juice and cold pizza."
Hottest possession: "Um, orange juice and cold pizza."
I would change places for 24 hours with ... "Batman - He has an active nightlife, and I think I look good in black spandex."
Celeb I'd love to take on a date: "Emmy Rossum. She was enchanting as Christine in Phantom of the Opera (the movie). The characters she plays tend to combine beauty and intelligence in an undeniably sexy way (The Day After Tomorrow, Poseidon)."
Me in a word: "Inventurous."
