Lattierj, 43

My family and friends would describe me as responsible, respectful, and rational with an extreme sense of humor, a loyalty to those I love, and the drive to complete everything I undertake. I don't just people on what they've done, but what they meant to do. I try to see through others' eyes to understand their perspective. I'm a doctor in medical research working on a cure or treatment for brain cancer. I'm new to Houston, but I have family here whom I love infinitely. I've been a pescatarian for a few months. Before that I was a vegan for almost 20 years.

I'm looking for an honest and intelligent woman. Someone with an enthusiasm for life. Someone who makes an effort, communicates, and cares just as much as I do. I value uniqueness, creativity, and personality. I'd like to meet someone who is accepting and respectful of individuals but also critical of the status quo.

Write to me. Tell me something that makes you smile. Tell me something that makes you frustrated.
