About Jay - Dating

I crafted this "dating resume" concept after reading an article about creating a résumé for potential relationships. Often, initial dates revolve around typical small talk topics, leading to repetitive conversations. While I understand that women appreciate surprise during first dates, reading this document about me can save both parties valuable time by revealing aspects that may be disliked or appreciated, promoting more meaningful connections from the start.

  • I'm a newcomer to Chicago and reside in the downtown area next to the Salesforce Tower.
  • Empty nester. Son 19, in college doing pre-med, is financially secure thanks to grandma.
  • I am into yoga, not a gym nut, but I am 6'1" tall and under 25 BMI
  • Raised in the US and Canada, originally from Sri Lanka with Dutch roots.
  • Funny, cultured, smart. I love making others laugh.
  • Minimalistic lifestyle but appreciates quality, loves wine, and enjoys fine cuisine.
  • Excellent credit works for Salesforce is financially independent and is a top 5% income earner.
  • No baggage from past relationships. No child support or alimony
  • An experienced global explorer and lifelong learner of other cultures
  • Proudly Metrosexual - Nails, Facials, Clothing
  • Friends from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. From CEOs to doormen.
  • I'm not here for quick hookups, one-night stands, or arranged marriages (I already had one).
  • Even my exes would endorse that I’m a kind and generous guy who respects everyone.

I believe in building connections through friendship first, allowing them to evolve naturally. I'm searching for a fellow explorer who shares my passions - a love for travel, exquisite cuisine, an inquisitive mind, and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

Let's start this journey with laughter, genuine moments, and a shared love for life and diverse cultures. Let's start with a drink, coffee, or a Facetime call and see where it takes us.

Dating reality.

My daily work heavily relies on data analysis, and I am a big fan of statistics.

According to data from the US Census, the likelihood of women encountering an individual on a dating site who is unmarried, not obese, stands at 6'1" tall, belongs to the top 5% income bracket, and falls within the 45 to 50 age group is remarkably low, at just 0.001%. This equates to one individual in every 10,000 men on a dating site.

I'm not boasting; I'm simply emphasizing the reliance on accurate statistics rather than arbitrary figures.
