I was born in Iran, but basically grew up in the United States. My background is in finance but I switched to law and have been lawyering for about 10 years now in the field of securities litigation, primarily. I kinda feel like going back to investment banking, but who knows.... So what else? I like to have my own quiet time to read, or write poetry ... but then I also like to turn up the music sometimes and jump around my house (my cat hates that! Yes, I have a beautiful black cat). I'm more introverted than extroverted, but once you get to know me you might not think so! Looking For: I'd like to find a person who is sincere, light-hearted, and doesn't take themselves too seriously. I'd like someone who's gentle but not whimpy, someone who's religious but not dogmatic, someone who's compromising but not indecisive, someone who's intelligent but not socially inept, someone who's self-confident but not arrogant, someone who is comfortable with women but not a womanizer, and finally someone who is intriguing but not creepy. Update: So I'm a Hajji now! .. yeah, I completed my Hajj for the first time in Nov (2011). Just wanted to put that out there for those Iranians with religious identity issues - you know who you are ;-)
