Johndoedating, 46

IRL to NYC I'm originally from Ireland after having moved over here 5 years ago. I'm a confident, outgoing and talkative guy. I love going out meeting people but also enjoy just staying in and lounging with the right person. I'm very active physically and like to keep in shape. I come from a traditional large Irish family with 4 sisters and a brother which seems to keep on multiplying and giving me more and more Christmas presents to buy for my neices and nephews. I'm the "black sheep" being the only one not living in Ireland but I try to get home once or twice a year. How did I end up here? Its a long story but the short version is I won the"lottery".

I was lucky enough to live and work in Brazil for 3 months last year. A fantastic time where I made great friends and had even better experiences. Definitely somewhere I intend on going back to.

As for the person I'm looking for - There has to be an attraction. Looks definitely do matter at first but they are only an initial factor. What's behind the looks is what sustains a relationship. I'm a firm believer that no one should ever settle. I want to be challenged to grow and be more than I am already. I don;t think I'll ever be "the finished article". I'm looking for someone that I can feel lucky to be with and wonder why they are with me but at the same time I would hope they are thinking the same thing about me.
