A bit of a romantic, bit of a nerd, and a bit of a dreamer. But I have worked hard to make those dreams come true.
My interests are eclectic. I have been called a Post-Modern Renaissance person. Sometimes people have a hard time keeping up. I can bounce from a variety of subjects, from the finer points of Nietzsche, to discussion of international culture, to politics, to classical music, to ancient eastern and western histories, to science fiction, to the discussion of cars, to hard science, to the latest discussion of Japanese anime. I can bounce between these things within the scope of a single conversation.
I have been told I am thoughtful, have good insight, and a strong will to make things happen.
How would you describe your ideal partner?
Emotionally stable, loving, caring, and faithful.
I am also looking for someone to work out and jog with as well. I am trying to keep myself in shape for my health, and I want her to be interested in taking care of her health as well.
She must follow her own path, and not be a slave to popular culture. Many of people in my home country are "slaves to fashion," which I find quite depressing. The woman I would be interested in has to be smart in her chosen profession, whatever that profession may be. She also has to have a wide variety of interests and a few hobbies that we can mutually share.
She sees herself as both a professional in her chosen career, and as a caring wife and mother. She would not be the only person caring for the family, as I want to be as involved as I can, and be the loving husband my ideal partner deserves and a caring father that children should have. I hope that she would welcome these ideas
I want someone who thinks in "we" and "us," not "me" and "you."
If you knew the world was going to end in 30 days, what would you do?
Try to find a way to help humanity survive. I don't believe in giving up without a good effort to survive.
If you had 10 million dollars to spare, what would you do with it?
If all my bills were paid, I would probably purchase a house in Hawaii by the coast, and with the rest invest it to make sure my family and myself were secure financially. Any profit beyond what it takes to live would go towards helping others. Perhaps a scholarship fund for students who want to study the sciences.
How often, and from whom do you ask advice?
I had my father who was the my key source of advice. Since his death, I have tried for friends that seem reasonably mature. While I will seriously consider their advice, in the end, I have to be responsible for my own decisions.

Faithfulness, honor, nurturing, compassion, strength of mind and will.

Recently, things have been calm. I had a lot of turmoil in the past, and I weathered through it. It is nice to have a bit of quiet between storms.
