I'm sitting here deliberating over what to write, concerned that if I include things like ' I'm attractive' then I'll sound like a horribly arrogant person, on the other hand I believe I'm supposed to be selling myself... these things are indeed a quandary! That said I will write this truthfully and hope I don't come off as conceited or offend anyone in the process. I aim to give a good idea of who I am and hope I don't end up rambling!

I'll start with the physical because as much as I (and I think most people) am interested in the cerebral and emotional side of individuals I need to have some sort of physical attraction as a starting point.

I look fairly young for my age and used to be told I was a pretty boy quite often, though now I'm a little more manly. I have blue eyes, full lips, high cheekbones, a small nose, small ears, tidy eyebrows and soft hair. I have been asked to model several times including for Ralph Lauren and have done some modeling in the last couple of months, but please don't take this as an indication that I am shallow. I'm not sure what to make of this but a 19 year old recently asked me if I was at university, I replied by telling her my age to which she incredulously replied that there was 'no way' I was over 20. She then called over several friends who all had fun guessing my age - the oldest they could come up with was 24. It took a friend of mine (who thought it was all rather funny) to convince them all of my real age! I only recently stopped being asked for ID in bars. It can be frustrating (and embarrassing) at times, but hopefully I'll be a well preserved 40! I have very soft, sensitive skin, slender wrists and am not hairy. My bum is completely hairless (naturally) and the rest of my body is not hairy for a bloke, I don't even have a '5 o'clock shadow' as my facial hair only grows in certain areas and grows quite slowly - if I don't shave for a few days people often ask if I have shaped 'designer stubble', but it grows tidily completely naturally. I have slim legs that are quite long for my height, a round bottom and a nice back. I wouldn't describe myself as muscular, but I have a decent, toned physique.

Onto the thinking and feeling side of me:

I was fortunate enough to go to very good schools and consider myself quite well educated and reasonably intelligent. I have an enquiring mind and am open to all sorts of new experiences, I particularly enjoy learning about what makes people tick. I love a good conversation, enjoy hearing people enthuse about their passions - it's enchanting when somebody talks about something they truly love. I am given to philosophical debate at times and feel the world and it's inhabitants are eternally absorbing. I'm a bit of a softie, often introspective but can be a very bad boy too.

I am non-judgmental, given my multi-faceted personality it would be ridiculous of me to point the finger - I know never to 'judge a book by it's cover' as I know that when people look at me they have no clue what kink lurks below the surface! I am loyal, caring and sensitive, I love to laugh and it gives me huge pleasure to know that other people are enjoying themselves. I can be quite generous and certainly believe that it is 'giving that we truly receive'. My life has taught me to be humble and I feel grateful for the hand I've been dealt.

I am single with no kids, I have parents and siblings that I love dearly, a job at which I excel that keeps me stimulated. My work takes me all over the world (I spend about half the year in Southern California) but I also travel in my spare time. I am interested in the arts (painting, film, photography) and enjoy good food.
