I've been told that my profiles are too textbook, so here goes:

People oftentimes think that I'm Italian, but little do they know that I'm a French and Persian hybrid. And yes, I eat croissants while on a magic carpet ride. I have been blessed with a rich and diverse childhood; giving me the opportunity to explore places that others could only have dreamed of.

I'm the first in my family to go to college and to move to a big metropolitan city. I'm very family oriented and try to see them often. I have one older brother and one older sister. I've moved quite a bit, mainly in the northeast US, and have maintained a few, but close friends.

I'm a disciplined worker but have also learned to find equilibrium in my life by partying hard. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not the type to go into back alleys snorting coke and shooting up. I'm a pretty straight arrow when it comes to my fun...a beer, some friends, maybe a little pool, or dancing the night away with strobe lights over my head and someone's butt gr...okay, yeah...

Domestic life doesn't seem to phase me at all (except doing dishes). Cooking has become one of my favorite past times. It allows me to be creative outside of the office where performance isn't the main objective. However, I'm still learning not to burn water. Yes, it's happened! Current endeavor: A kick ass chicken cutlet!

I'm a fan of tea, drink it every night before bed. I have a whole cabinet filled with a variety of blends, some fresh, some in bags, some just a concoction. I drink it plain, with honey, with sugar, with milk, with sugar, I like it all. I wouldn't call myself a tea snob, but please don't pass me the Lipton. I'm currently exploring green tea.

I'm the biggest flirt ever when I've got alcohol in me. Beware. I'm a goofball at the most random times, but always maintain my composure when necessary. I'm the guy that you want to bring to meet your parents, who will charm your mom, and play golf with your dad.

Most people stop here when reading a profile, so if you don't mind being bitten from time to time, send me a message. It's not like I can't see who visits me... Yeah, see, I just saw you!

I graduated from NYU with a degree in Media, Culture, and Communication. I'm currently working in advertising and marketing for Google in NYC. I surround myself with family and friends that encourage me and continue to support me on my current endeavors.

Outside of work, I partake in what NYC has to offer. Though I don't classify myself as a hardcore "party animal," I enjoy going to clubs and bars to socialize with other young professionals and other nightlife aficionados. Going out doesn't always constitute as a bar or a club. It can be sipping a cappucino in a hole in the wall, roaming the streets of midtown, or sampling the latest and greatest of local entertainment.

I've traveled to many places and have experienced a lot from the people I've met. I hope to continue traveling to a new place every year. I live for the sights, sounds, and smells of a new city. I've been to Europe, South America, and northern Africa. Please suggest places you've been.

...providing my own opinion on topics far and wide. I have a thirst for knowledge and different points of view unlike my own. I'm a pretty open person and want to learn and grow from others. To get me attention, tell me a tidbit of trivia based on your expertise.

...tying a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue.

...is that my smile puts you at ease. I'm also a t-shirt and jeans type of guy and I actually match! I only dress up if I'm trying to impress.

...is that I get bored easily. I've never been diagnosed with ADHD, but unless you can captivate me within a few minutes, my mind will wander.

...is my chain.

...I move words like weight.

...choices I've made thus far in my life. It's more about personal reflection and reminiscing. I don't regret my previous actions but learn and grow from the choices from them.

...what I want to do during the weekend, whether it be socializing with friends, a movie on Netflix, or just plain old chores.

...what's for dinner.

...what i have done today for myself and to make the lives of people around me better.

...why people wink on here. It's a flirty gesture, but a simple message would be so much more effective.

...out and about. After a long work week, I find solace in relaxing and socializing with my peers. You'll find me at bars, clubs, the theater, or some other downtime venue.

...with a drink in hand; Grey Goose please.

...shaking the tush on the dance floor. Rumba!

...in bed, with myself, thank you.

...at the gym.

...I've struggled with self-identity being from a diverse background. I'm learning more and more about myself everyday.

...you're looking for someone who likes to talk about anything and everything. I am an equal opportunity individual. If you think honestly that you'd like to get to know me better, feel free to contact me.

...you don't mind that I flirt and tease.

...you actually read my profile. I don't really expect you to read past the summary, but at least do that. I may be asking you about my profile. A general, "Hey, how are you?" is fine considering you're not purely basing our conversation on the visual physicality of myself (how I look).

...you took the commonly confused words test and scored advanced or above.

...you're the Ren to my Stimpy.

...you're not full of yourself and respect opinions.
