For those management lit buffs out there, I am strongly pulled to Locke and Latham's goal setting-theory. It's beautiful and simple. Everyone who works out can benefit from it.

Goal setting theory simply suggests that you set moderately difficult goals, seek some feeback (weigh yourself, measure yourself, take pictures, etc.), set a specific time frame, and then relative to saying "do the best you can", you WILL benefit from it.

So, let's all set some goals, eh?

I am really attempting to retake my physique after several years of neglect. I will do almost anything to exercise: swim laps, walk or run, cardio machines, weights, yoga, tai chi, heck I will even embarass myself doing Tae Bo. Join me!

OK, admittedly most folks in here or in the gay community flip when they see profiles with "married" in it. Well, we all walk different paths in life, and I have opted to follow one that many don't or won't. But, everyone always has a story to tell.

I am for the most part, a fairly nice guy, enjoy intellectual pursuits (been in college a really embarassingly long time), and making friends.

I have met some amazing men in this forum. Guys from all corners of the country, all walks of life, and diverse professional and personal interests. Without having the data to support it, this site lends a bit of evidence to the notion of a positive correlation between active men and being above average professionally. If you do something interesting, or have something interesting to share, feel free to drop me a line.

I have traveled on 3 continents and nearly 20 countries. I can appreciate the small provencial habits from exotic places, and people who soak up every opportunity to learn about others.

One of the easiest way to size guys up for me is less centered on their six-pack, and well, more centered on their book shelf or what kind of hobbies you have. What are you reading now? My favorites are Philip Roth, Ian McEwan, Michael Chabon, EM Forester, Kurt Vonnegut, John Kennedy Toole, and on and on. Just ask me what I am reading now or share with me what you enjoy.

Personality is pretty difficult to capture in a few words. So, maybe music can describe what I am like at different times. Sometimes I am wild like Franz Ferdinand, and sometimes mild like John Legend. What do you like to listen to?

Je fais un effort pour parler le français, donc je t'invite dire bonjour. Je ne peux pas promettre que c'est parfait, mais je me débrouille.

I am in a committed relationship, so I am just looking for friends.

I like all kind of men, really. Nerds and intellectuals; party boys and extroverts; mainstream or to the beat of your own drum.

I like men who appreciate Italian coffee, German engineering, European travel, Asian cuisine, American literature, and well, a lot more.

If you have read this far, just say hi.
