Hello.
42 year old native NY'er still living in Manhattan. Single, Jewish but not practicing. However, I do know several Yiddish phrases.

Ok, here is my poorly written bio...

I am a very active person with a black belt in karate. I have ridden a skateboard for over twenty eight years. Was once a rollerskating teacher and taught on blades as well. For the past fourteen years I have been swing dancing and go out regularly. I teach swing dance classes at the JCC on the upper west side every Sunday.

I live alone on the upper west side of Manhattan in a great big apartment with a backyard and the cutest cat. Ladies, I am a catch if even just for real estate purposes. I have the entire ground floor of a brownstone. You will be happy to know that HATE pro sports and I will NEVER watch them. I love to get sun in Central Park.

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!
Well, I am glad you asked...
For work, I am a health care professional who helps people with foot problems. I am a Pedorthist and have my own business on the upper west side for over 8 years. I make orthotics...with my hands. I am a skilled craftsman. I help people, and I love what I do. There was a time years ago when I was a working actor here in NYC. SAG card and all. I did commercials and film. Even had a line in the movie "GoodFellas". No joke. My secne is here:

I am on the left acting horribly. I was 18 years old. It was 1988. Feel free to rib me about it. I still get the checks.

Seriously though, I am finally at a point in my life where I am happy the way my career is going for me. For the longest time I worked for other people doing what I thought wasn't a career, but a job. it wasn't till I opened my own practice and worked hard at it for the past 8 years that has made me feel that I am now ready for my last first date. I am ready to share my life, my love, my place, my cat, with one special person... I just started a little late in life is all. But I know this now and I am OK with it. You should snatch me while you can...

Swing dancing, karate, skateboards, rollerblades/skates, ice skates, snowboards, cooking for you, entertaining, being an all-around wise-ass.
Furthermore, I can make cats come to me magically and can drink whiskey blindfolded. I have seen Jackass and love Stevie Wonder. Your mother will love me. I can sing "No Diggity" like nobody's business. I can make an awesome cup of coffee...

My green eyes. Also, I'm outgoing and friendly, and I like to think I know how to treat people. I am inclusive to all. I am polite, and I don't respond well to rudeness. I love to dress well. I do own jeans and sneakers, but prefer a nice jacket and tie and a cute hat. I am a gentleman.

I love a home cooked meal. Usually, I am the one who cooks. I love to go out for Italian, sushi, BBQ, seafood.
I am currently watching Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, and 30 Rock.
My favorite film actors are Anthony Hopkins and Denzel Washington.
I love going out to hear live Swinging jazz and go dancing. I have been addicted to Swing dancing for over 14 years. You don't have to be a dancer too, though I could help you become one.

A physical activity, a glass of French Bordeaux, my cat, my beautiful home, Chinese BBQ ribs, or good company.

Where I will be in 10 years and who will I be with. I have spent great time and effort in preparing my apt (which is too big for me) for my future. I often wonder who I will share it with

Out dancing. More often than not, I am out partner dancing to live music. I don't get drunk, but I will have a couple drinks.

I hate walnuts, they ruin brownies...

You are a woman looking to have a meaningful relationship for the long term. You need to have a sense of humor! I want a woman who inspires me. You must have a job! If not, you must know what you are going to do in life and be making REAL steps towards it. Race and religion not important. Please be family minded. You don't need to be wealthy. I have my own money. I will share with you! You just need to be real. I am real! you be too, please. Lastly, You must be ok with me being 5 ft 6" I am not tall! You can wear flats! I can wear heels! I'm probably taller than you. If it makes you feel better, it says I'm 5 ft 7" on my driver's license...
