What happened to quick, coded descriptions like "SWF seeks M age 28-40 with personality?" It seems I have 1000 characters to attempt to get your attention and gauge our compatibility. I'm optimistic, independent, educated, well-mannered and outgoing. My family has always encouraged me to seek new adventures, so I completed my degree abroad, pursued a discipline that not many women pursue, traveled to different countries and learned a lot about myself and what I'm looking for. I'm pretty well rounded and can speak about everything from socialized health care to the Cubs starting rotation. I'm looking for someone who is passionate about living life, who has natural curiosity and a wicked sense of humor. Extra bonus points if you love Indian cuisine and would consider developing an interest in cycling.
