Californian Returning To Turkey

I'm a good boy, who can get bad. I am honest, gentle, curious, and accepting. I take advantage of living in the Bay Area. Lots of art, travel, jazz, music, baseball, conversation, and different cultures. I like to dance, go to the theatre and dine out. I'm hooked on what's happening in the world, big and small. Particularly interested in how we got where we are. I am returning to Turkey in May. Can't wait to be there again. Jay

Insights
When raising a family, how important is it that your kids learn to speak Turkish?
Too late for that.
Describe the perfect evening.
We buy a lottery ticket together and find out the next morning that we won $50 million. We kiss.
Describe your perfect weekend.
San Francisco....museums; galleries; plays; restaurants; California coast California mountains
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Certainly. Though love is also a verb, it is action, and, thus, takes time to show itself.
How many kids would you like to have?
12
If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
First, I would put women in charge of all nations. There may be bickering and crying, but there would be no more war. Nice.
What is the most important lesson that you've learned?
I've won a few, lost a few. Still ticking and grateful to be in a good position in life.
What do your friends like about you most?
I have no clue. But, perhaps, it's because I am supportive, I laugh at their jokes, I'm interested in what's going on in their lives, I am gracious, appreciative, accepting, and reliable. I cut loose.
What do your friends tease you about the most?
Everything. I can beat them all at Trivial Pursuits, Jeopardy, and Poker. So, they tease me when I do something absent mindedly (which is frequent), like forget to put a stamp on my mail, or show up at the wrong restaurant...stuff like that. I am easily distracted by color and movement because of my intense curiousity. I think sometimes they would put me on a leash to keep me out of trouble if they could.
What gets on your nerves?
Closed mindedness; overly detailed intineraries; whining; penny pinching; bureacratic thinking and behavior;
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
The ability to make each other laugh; caring for one another; honesty; mutual respect; seperateness; believing in each others desires.
What's the best age to get married?
The Modern Age. Or, perhaps, the Pleistocene Age.
What turns you off?
Not much. Female materialism; gamesmanship; dress shoes that are scuffed up; Jerry Springer Show
What turns you on?
I woman with brains who is subtle, yet sexy. Hair done up over her head, exposing the neck. Pony tails. Winter cloths. Fearlessly looking into my eyes. I woman wearing my dress shirt. Playfulness.
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
Living mostly in the USA, but with a lot of time overseas.
