In His Own Words
About Him
1. I love to connect with others and crave meaningful engagement. I relish being a professor/lawyer because (a) its serious stand-up comedy and I have a captive audience; (b) it allows me to learn more about the world from others even as I ostensibly impart wisdom/knowledge to them; (c) shared laughter makes my heart go pitter-pat; (d) my work is designed to repair the world in small, but not insignificant, ways. (Means: 'I am a caring, creative, and cute guy, who might, only 'might' need you, more than you need me.')
2. My life is rich beyond rubies: I want for nothing material. While content in my own company, I seek a meaningful relationship. I have loved, been loved, and, in an untimely way, lost love. As Forster finished Howard's End: Only Connect. Beyond that there's virtually nothing in the world (except TV) that doesn't interest me. In New York, my hometown, they say: "There are 7 million stories in the big city." There are 7 billion in the world. (Meaning: I really don't own a TV, but I fly business on long hauls.)
About His Ideal Match
1. A BURNER. That's the ability, like the Sun, to create warmth and hold another in orbit. Someone who recognizes that an intimate relationship and living with a person one can never fully understand, and who will never fully understand you, is the greatest challenge of all. Understand that - a relationship has a solid chance of working. But I won't yield on my desire for passion: Heart, mind, body, soul. (Meaning: He's known 2 burners; he'll talk but rarely argue; no 'rain checks' on physical intimacy.)
2. I'm a romantic. Freud said: A good life comes down to two things: work and love. It really is that simple. (Meaning: He's got great work. But if he had even more money, he would marry a beautiful intelligent equally funny woman above his station, play golf and really write creatively - you'd know his name. Now, he's just almost famous: and he still wants you.)
