I've been engaged once, but have no kids. I have a stable job, a passion for traveling, and a great sense of humor that will have you laughing uncontrollably. Originally from Iran, I escaped to Spain, grew up in LA, spent 2 years in Armenia/Georgia, a year in the UK, returned to California, rebelled, and eventually settled down in Texas. My journey has made me tough, and my body art often draws curious stares, especially in Armenia, which is why I left. I'm straightforward and honest. I'll point out your mistakes gently and I'm willing to help with cooking and cleaning, as long as it's a team effort. Living independently for a significant period has made me cherish my life, so if you're going to be a part of it, be prepared to compromise. Here are my deal-breakers: If you're just seeking attention or enjoy mind games, if you have too many guy "friends," if you're extremely liberal, and worst of all, if you can't make a proper dolma!
