educated, open-minded man seeking woman of intelligence and substance

Raised in London and Los Angeles, but not your typical Tehrangeles type. Actually, I never really had any Iranian friends growing up, since my family was pretty assimilated. And believe it or not, I've never dated an Iranian before! Not quite sure what to expect of this site, but very open to whatever comes along. I live in Philadelphia, which is not exactly swarming with Iranians, but I'm not interested in penpals or people who live more than 25 miles from here. Looking for real-world, real-life romance. As for work, I'm a writer. And yes, I really do make a living doing this. I own my own home, and have a steady income, etc. (Translation: not some deadbeat creative type). Basically just a decent human being looking for the same!
