Seeking for friendship, learning about new cultures and maybe more later

I like living and I like who lives. I am energetic, have plenty of positive energy that I like to keep, I do not appreciate negative people I am middle eastern, lived and grew up in Beirut, Lebanon for most of my life and moved to Dallas 7 years ago where I have been studying, working and living a decent life. I am open minded, outgoing yet conservative to a certain point. I am looking to expand my alliances and network for business and for potential friendship purposes, its tough nowadays to find people of good caliber, I heard of that site which attracted me to give it a try, some men have indeed bad trades but the real gentleman in our culture is a diamond in a rough.
