I'm your 36 year old garden variety gay Asian professional living in the city. I moved to San Francisco a decade ago by way of upstate NY with stints in Amsterdam, DC, and NYC. I'm a New Yorker at heart which means I am very direct, honest sometimes to a fault, I have a sardonic wit most of the time, and I'm quite funny.

My philosophy for life is pretty simple, treat others like you'd want to be treated, be kind, and live life with integrity and honesty. I don't take life too seriously and laugh as much as I can. I really enjoy life and have an amazing group of friends. I am most definitely ready to be in a relationship so if you like what you've read so far say hello :-)

I have a fantastic career in the healthcare field and a boss that I absolutely love and look forward to going to work pretty much every day. I really enjoy the company of my friends and doing fun stuff together.

Cooking and trying new recipes, being a grounded person, vegging out and chilling the day away, cuddling, listening to people, putting myself in another's shoes, nesting with someone on a cold rainy day, playing with dogs, growing orchids, keeping impressive fresh water planted fish tanks, trying to better myself physically and mentally.

I get the "You look familiar, I swear we've met before" thing told to me often. Apparently I have a twin running around the city in similar circles I run with. Not sure if he's the evil one or I am :-)

Music has never been a big part of my life. My music library has a very eclectic mix of everything. Indie, foreign, art house films are usually a safe bet for me. I'm not a big tv show watcher but competitive reality shows can be fun like Top Chef and Project Runway (if you like the Kardashians we will have a problem). Nature, science, food, and travel shows alway get my attention.

I love stories about true crime- I'm very fascinated by human psychology and what makes people do the things that they do. I love to read, mostly novels and fiction- don't have a favorite author, any book that gets my attention I will read. I really love non-fiction and history- my favorite current reading subject is about regimes and cult of personality like North Korea and the like.

I'm a news junky and you'll find me watching or reading The Economist, Time, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, BBC, Huffington Post, etc a lot.

Food is lovely and eating is lovely. I will try anything at least once and that includes food from other cultures which many might find disgusting- one of the best ways to learn about other cultures is through food.

dogs
garlic
Sriracha
coffee
Vietnamese food

I find this question odd

Usually at home relaxing as my Fridays are slammed at work and I'm beat by the time I get home. I will on occasion go out drinking and especially dinners with friends.

I stopped biting my toenails when I was 21... I know, disgusting.
