I am a senior software engineer working in fintech.
My favorite pastime is sipping Americano at a nearby café while enjoying a book. I like to read about physics, philosophy, history (especially ancient), evolution and politics etc.
Some of my all-time favorite books are:
Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
The Fabric of the Cosmos (Brian Greene)
The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath)
Consciousness Explained (Daniel Dennett)
The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins)
Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind (Tom Holland)

I have been a vegetarian for several years. I love outdoor activities especially during the summer such as hiking and swimming. Traveling is also one of my interests. I have traveled to South America, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Turks and Caicos. I also enjoy seeing movies, reading books, going to concerts and going to museums.
With a bachelor's degree in biological sciences, I worked at first as a lab technician in an environmental lab. Eventually, I received my nursing degree and now work at a local teaching hospital.
I am very family oriented. I try to respect and get along with my parents.

I love writing, biking, walking, hiking, doing Taichi, preparing a nutritious meal, gardening, sewing, and observing nature. I try to live with mindfulness. I like to live a simple, yet meaningful life. I would like to develop my fullest potential in this lifetime and be able to contribute to the world ...
I wrote the following article on September 10, 2025, at 12:22 PM
>>> Your emotions determine your happiness, and
Your happiness determines your life.
Since my best friend, Dougald, left this world on June 28th this year,
My sadness hasn't diminished even a single day.
But the times of sadness have gradually decreased.
Most of us have feelings.
When we're sad, we don't need to resist it,
But rather understand why we're sad.
This experience of losing a dear friend
Has made me feel immense regret for his short life!
Because he was such a kind person!
Many say that for every effect, there's a cause.
Perhaps his early passing was due to this causal relationship.
I understand very well how the law of attraction works.
When you're happy,
The vibration you emit attracts things related to happiness.
When you're sad, you attract similar things that make you sad.
When you're angry, you attract similar things that make you angry.
... and so on.
So, to have a fulfilling life, the vibration you emit is crucial!
You can be sad, but don't let it persist for too long.
Learn how to transform sadness into strength.
When you're feeling down, realize that
Most people don't know how to control their emotions.
If you could handle it with a relaxed attitude, they wouldn't affect you.
Impermanence is a normal part of life; there's no need to lament it.
The important thing is to accept impermanence and strive to do what you love.
It will make you want to live a more meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful life!

Yes, true!
I am happily single and navigating life's adventures solo.
With no marriage plus zero offspring in the rear view mirror.
Speaking of adventures!
You will often find me soaking up outdoor beauty – it is where I feel truly alive.
While I appreciate the thrill of sports, my heart beats a little faster for the focus and artistry found in creative pursuits.
Now, here is a fun curve: I have developed a lifelong love for bowling.
(Though enjoying the lanes tends to be a rare treat...)
Rest assured, my monogrammed balls are polished and ready to roll – yes, bowling balls!
While I frequently enjoy strikes with plenty of dynamic pin action (Hubba! Hubba!) my daily life leans towards refreshing simplicity.
I frequently find immense joy in moments of casual relaxation.
I also wholeheartedly welcome spontaneity.
I potentially even entertain and enjoy radical impulse in unique and profound instances.
Ultimately, I deeply value vulnerability and the spark of genuine passion in life.

My thought for the week:
Lovingkindness, the giving of oneself, is the highest form of giving.
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; shunning gratuitous hatred of those who think differently; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words.
Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry and waggish humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral, integrated philosophy and system of practice that is free of self-interest and that patients need not fear to enter.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."
Headshot is from July, 2023.

What you see is what you get, but you also get so much more than appearances suggest! I am comfortable in my own skin. I know and like who I am. Therefore, I have no use for painting my face, prancing around in spiky heels, dressing like a whore, dancing backwards or hanging ornaments on myself like some primitive Christmas Tree. I don't need you to complete me. The right partner is a nice add-on. Likewise, I cannot complete you or make you happy if you're not an already happy person. Can you live with that, or will it make your orbs fall off? If you are secure enough in your own identity that you don't feel a need to boss someone around, if you can respect that we are both busy and you are not my keeper, not my boss, not my patient, not the only person or activity in my life, and you happen to like the Whatyouseeiswhatyouget look, then we just may have a winner. Everyone else, thanks for playing.

Intelligent, creative, down-to-earth, witty, open-minded (yet having definite opinions), athletic, in shape, honest, faithful, non-materialistic, sensitive, affectionate and sensual are some traits that could describe me. I'm pragmatic, yet also idealistic about certain things.
I'm a self-employed professional photographer. Since photography is my hobby as well as my profession
it is a major factor in my life. Let me know if you'd like to see my photography on my website. I'm very interested in computer imaging also.
Snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, skateboarding, and body boarding are among the sports I'm into. I’m always open to trying new ones. I'd much rather go participate in a sport than
watch someone else doing one. I love all kinds of visual arts and like to go to museums and galleries. I like to travel to new places, especially national parks. Gardening, especially with native plants is something that I enjoy. I also have a large number of houseplants.
My daughter was born on 12/12/03.

For the most part, I live an average/normal life. I'm not that much into traveling around the world (I think North America has plenty to offer), not a big fan of large crowds, mass events, extreme sports, or wild adventures - not that there's anything wrong with it, just not my thing anymore... Nowadays, I prefer reading, watching TV documentaries or sitcoms, and listening to various podcasts. Hoping to meet someone with similar interests and lifestyle.

Happy, whole, open-minded, heart-based, hippie-ish, affectionate, self-confident, slightly kinky guy with lots of love to share. Very easy-going, non-judgmental American transplant to Ireland (dual citizenship), so I will always be an outsider/blow-in.
A kind-hearted and very liberal free-spirit, I find great beauty in life and also laugh a lot! A rich and fulfilling sex life is important to me as a way of communication and connection. I like to touch and be touched by those I love.
Currently living a rather low-key, rural life in a beautiful location, alone in a big house with one feline who chooses to be with me.
Reach out and say hello!

Updating this section years later - originally I said that I was intelligent, quirky, messy and that I don't "go with the flow". That has not changed. What may have changed is that I have greater understanding of some of the reasons.
I would hope that everybody becomes wiser as they get older and gains greater self-awareness, though I think that it's also easy to become cynical and develop anxiety or fears (or develop other adaptations) that affect your day-to-day existence simply because the longer you are alive, the more likely that you have accumulated bad memories from what you have witnessed, and what you have experienced of the negative realities of our world.
As for me, I am wiser though I still have a long way to go. I'm still curious and mercurial which is not conducive to being organized, and I do pay the price for that. I think it helps me in other ways to keep myself from depression. I have very strong emotions and yet a really logical and analytical backbone which are often at battle.
I hate writing about myself, but as I just demonstrated, I can get carried away in spite of myself, so it's a good spot to stop and mention some of the more surface things, like...
My big focus right now is spending time outdoors where I live. It's rural, there's field, there's forest, there is always something to discover, from identifying plant life (which unfortunately includes battling some pretty aggressive invasive plants) and animal life, to weird insects and various other critters. Sitting amongst the tall grass knowing that I can't even be seen from the road is magical for some reason.
I have worked in technology (IT) for many years, yet I have to admit some of the magic is not there like it used to be. There are some ideas I had for projects that I am keen on if I can figure out a way to fit that in with the other things that dominate my time, without dropping the ball on one of them ...
Animal rescue/providing care/reducing suffering/promoting well-being. This is often painful, often sad, but it's what I value the most.

I'm a country boy, love animals, own a small farm, or what's left of one. Very honest, loving, caring, romantic & affectionate. If u don't like being smothered with love & affection u won't like me very much. I also collect & polish my own crystals & stones. I like outings, but unless dancing would usually rather to stay home, always plenty to do on hundreds of acres, tho only 44 are actually mine. I do have some cooking skills & enjoy sharing my specialties with people I like. By trade I'm a handyman & I fix things that most people throw away. I'm all into arts & crafts, turning trash into treasure, & if u want it I can probably make it, if u broke an heirloom don't trash it before u talk to me ;) I don't make a lot of $$$ but I have no debts either. I'm into natural healing & have practiced some forms of spiritual healing as well. Have an adult son with whom I am quite close, but we live very separate lives & do not interfere with one another in any way. I do have a couple of pets now that were rescue animals. Lucy, she's a mouse. I rescued her from the bottom of a bucket when she was a little baby, lying on her side with her mouth open & couldn't even close it. Thought she was already dead & dumped the bucket & she wiggled little her feet & something pushed me to bring her in, put a drop of water in her mouth & set her near the fireplace, as she was nearly frozen & dehydrated. She's over 4 yrs old now, the average life of a mouse is only 2. She's content & responsive even tho I can't handle her, but she does take treats from my fingers thru the cage. (Update: Lucy died in October 2014, 2 months before she would've been 5 yrs old. she is missed). Then I have Skeeter, a little fuzzy dog, chihuahua & Cairn terrier. He's really cute & couldn't be much sweeter if he likes u. Came to me cause he didn't like his previous home with a dopehead & thief and wouldn't go home - nearly 10 years ago. I like a bit more freedom to travel than I have with pets, but if u have pets or if u don't that's OK with me, not a deal breaker by any means. Now I have 1 outdoor cat. I wear some leather but it's usually purchased 2nd-hand, so patronizing recycling & re-use, not death. I'm also a passionate dancer & have a wonderful circle of friends at the dances I attended weekly before the pandemic. Been doing karaoke some years & now passionate about singing too ;)

I love animals, my passion is using food and nutrition for healing them and the people who love them. I have been following a holistic and vegetarian life style since the 70s. I became a vegetarian because I wanted to live a self-sufficient life style and knew I could never kill an animal and eat it.

Willing to relocate
I'm a digital nomad (for lack of a better term) with a transient, minimalist lifestyle. I'm not opposed to settling down somewhere for the right person if visa runs are viable; I did this in Taiwan for years.
I've been self-employed since the age of 20 and have lived abroad since 2016. Originally from the USA, though I have no intention to live there again. To stay active, I particularly enjoy cycling and exploring on foot, as well as occasional hiking. At home I'm content with films/series, reading, and gaming. When I'm in a new city, I always like to check out the museums/galleries, parks, and botanic garden (if there is one), usually with camera in hand. I used to sell photos for a living, and photography remains a leisure hobby.
I enjoy my independence, although I must admit, ever since I was young I daydreamed of traveling with a partner. That remains my desire, but it seems most people's conception of "travel" is what they see on social media.

At this stage of my life, I’ve learned that life’s richest flavors come from simplicity, sincerity, and shared values. As a vegetarian, I believe in living gently, with compassion for animals, mindfulness for the planet, and gratitude for the abundance of nature. Whether I’m experimenting with new plant-based recipes or enjoying a quiet walk through the farmers’ market, I find joy in the little things.
I’m curious, thoughtful, and grounded. I love meaningful conversation, a good laugh, and the kind of companionship that feels like home. I’m looking for someone who shares a love for wholesome living, who values kindness, and who’s ready to explore the next chapter with openness and heart.
Let’s make something beautiful together, starting with a shared plate and a spark of connection.
