I'd like to meet:
I am here for four reasons.
Romance. A nice, intelligent lady who understands what I'm trying to do and who even might be able to help (Or I might be able to help her too). Someone who isn't too far way. I adore women with that certain 'cool intelligence' and a sense of humour.Business. To meet like minded people and see if we can do something cool and interesting.Opportunities. Many of our greatest inventions and discoveries came about by chance. So, the more random connections I make the greater the probability that something interesting might happen - hence my random assortment of friends.Curiosity There are many people I can meet here that I would never meet in real life. This gives me a chance to see what life is like in other countries and professions.
Here is a list of some of the wildest things I have done :-
Arrested terrorists (Army)
Been shot at (Army)
Been mortar-bombed (Army)
Climbed up a tower crane (As a stupid kid !)
Jumped of a slow moving train like in Western films (As a stupid kid !)
