First off the reason I'm here. I have friends, but more and more they have relationships/careers/children/obligatory things, that make doing things with them difficult. Especially when trying to realize group meet-ups.

More about me personally. I like to dress smart or even suit up. I'm an avid sportsman. 4-6 times a week I hit the gym. Next to that I have done Taekwon-do for 18 years and taught it for years. Sadly I had to stop this due to study/work in July 2017.

This brings me to the next thing. I work part time, studying the rest of the time. I trade stocks and study new methods to become more profitable.

I like learning. I'm a naturally curious person, that's interested in a very diverse range of subjects. If I find something interesting, odds are good that I dive into it and find out at least the basics. I also like people telling me about their expertise or passion (or showing me, for that matter).

This doesn't mean I'm also any good in all of the subjects I'm interested in, haha. For example I really like dancing, but I'm horrible at it. It's not the motor skills/flexibility, but more the lack of feeling for rhythm. I want to learn it really bad, but I found out it will be a little harder for me than the average person. It's one of the top things on my list to pick up after I've got more time freed up (studying and working).

What I want out of life is to not be dependent on a strict job for making a living, so I have the freedom to pick up a project/projects I'd like to do. Of course learning to dance is relatively selfish project. However I do have the ambition, the strong sense to give back. The shortest, broadest summary for this I can give: I like to leave this world a better place than when I came in it, through my contributions.

For the above reason I take a course in public speaking. I like it very much.

Oh and did I mention I can be longwinded at times...

...to continue...

I like to think I have a good sense of humor. However I have to warn that I do have EXACTLY my kind of humor.

Obviously there's a lot to find out about a person, way more than I can describe in this box. But let me finish with saying something about music.

As to many people, music is important to me. When it matches with me, it can make me feel so incredible and I think it often adds another perspective to all kinds of moments. I have a very diverse range of music that I like. But there's also a lot of music, (also very diverse) that doesn't "click" with me. To give a tiny bit of clarity in this vagueness. My range of music is more towards lounge, deep house, classical, pop, (soft) rock, than for example hardcore or full on street rap. HOWEVER this does not mean that there can't be songs in these genres that I do like.

I know, life is full of nuances.

If you kept reading so far, congrats on the thoroughness and perseverance. I'll free up your time now and stop writing. Contact me if you want to know more :-).

I'm not very extrovert. I think I can listen well, but I also like to share, certainly on topics that I'm passionate/knowledgeable about. I see humor in all kinds of things. I'm not a good dancer, for this reason I don't like to do this in public, even though I like it very much. I like to be around people and feel comfortable in person, as well as in groups.
