Active, family-oriented Arab man looking for something real

I’m Shadi,- Jordanian, family-oriented, active, and at a point in my life where I’m looking for a genuine connection that can grow into marriage. I’m finishing my MBA and building a career in healthcare management, but outside of school and work I’m definitely not the type to sit around all day. I love working out, hiking, camping, being by the lake, and getting outdoors whenever I can. I also have a background in MMA and enjoy playing the Arabic drum. I’m close with my family and grew up with strong Arab values, while still being pretty open-minded and easygoing. I appreciate a woman who is kind, affectionate, communicates well, values family, and knows what she wants in life. I’m not interested in collecting matches or having endless conversations that go nowhere. I’d rather actually talk, get to know each other, laugh together, meet in person when we’re comfortable, and see where things naturally go. If we connect and it turns into something serious, that’s exactly what I’m here for.

Interests
Astrology
Interest in Astrology I’m a Gemini, so I’ve always found astrology interesting. I like learning about personality traits, compatibility between signs, and seeing how much of it actually matches the person. I don’t base my life or relationships on astrology, but I think it’s fun to talk about and compare signs with someone I’m getting to know.
Astronomy
Interest in Astronomy I’ve always been fascinated by astronomy and learning about space, planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, and the universe. I enjoy thinking about how massive the universe is, what else might be out there, and how much we still have left to discover. My interest in science fiction also ties into my fascination with space and astronomy.
Barbecues
Interest in Barbecues I love barbecues, especially getting together with family or friends, grilling good food, and spending time outdoors. Whether it’s steaks, chicken, kabobs, burgers, or Middle Eastern-style grilling, I enjoy the whole experience of cooking over a grill and sharing a meal with good company.
Bars
Interest in Bars I enjoy going to bars more for the social atmosphere than for drinking. I like meeting new people, having good conversations, and potentially meeting someone I connect with and could date. I’m not a heavy drinker, but when I do have a drink, my go-to is Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks.
Camping
Interest in Camping I love camping and spending time outdoors, especially getting away from the city and enjoying nature. I like being around the mountains, lakes, and forests, setting up camp, cooking outside, hiking, and relaxing by a fire. It’s even better when I can share the experience with someone who enjoys the outdoors as much as I do.
Card Games
Interest in Card Games The only card game I really play is Texas Hold’em poker. I enjoy the strategy, reading the other players, knowing when to take a chance, and making decisions based on the hand and what’s happening at the table. I’m not really into other card games—poker is the one I enjoy.
Children
Interest in Dating I’m dating with the intention of finding a serious, long-term partner. I’m specifically interested in meeting a Middle Eastern woman who shares similar family values, speaks Arabic, and wants to build a life together. I enjoy real conversations, spending time together, going out, and getting to know someone beyond a dating profile. Marriage and family are important to me, and ideally I’d like to have three or four children. I’m looking for genuine chemistry, shared values, loyalty, affection, and someone who is ready to build a future together.
Dating
If you mean “write about my interest in dining,” I’d put: Interest in Dining I enjoy going out to eat and trying different restaurants, especially Middle Eastern food. I’m always up for a good shawarma, kabobs, mandi, or discovering a new Arab restaurant. For me, dining out is also about the experience—good conversation, enjoying the atmosphere, and spending quality time with someone. I especially enjoy finding new places around Southern California and would love having someone to try them with.
Exercise
Interest in Exercise Exercise is a big part of my lifestyle. I train at the gym six days a week and enjoy strength training, weightlifting, and constantly challenging myself physically. I also have a background in MMA, so fitness has been part of my life for a long time. Staying active, strong, and disciplined is important to me, and I’d love to meet someone who also enjoys taking care of herself and living an active lifestyle.
Shopping
Interest in Shopping I enjoy shopping in stores, especially when I want to see something in person, but I do a lot of my shopping online. I’m kind of an Amazon snob—if I can get it on Amazon, chances are I’m ordering it instead of spending the time and gas driving around looking for it. I like the convenience of having what I need delivered, but I’m still down for a trip to the mall or shopping with someone when there’s a reason to go out.
Video Games
Interest in Video Games I enjoy playing PC games on Steam when I have some free time, but gaming isn’t a major priority in my life. Work, school, family, staying active, and spending time with people come first. I usually only play one game at a time and enjoy it as a way to relax when I don’t have other responsibilities or plans.

Insights
Describe the perfect evening.
My Perfect Evening With a Woman My perfect evening would be spending time with a woman I genuinely connect with. We’d start with a nice dinner, preferably somewhere with great Middle Eastern food, then go somewhere we can walk, talk, laugh, and really enjoy each other’s company. Maybe we’d grab coffee afterward, sit somewhere with a nice view, or listen to music together. I’m affectionate, so if the chemistry is there, I’d want plenty of closeness, holding hands, cuddling, and kissing. It doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. For me, the perfect evening is good food, attraction, meaningful conversation, laughter, and not wanting the night to end.
Describe your perfect weekend.
My Perfect Weekend My perfect weekend would have a good mix of being active, getting outdoors, and spending quality time with someone I care about. I’d start with a workout, then maybe go hiking, spend the day at a lake or beach, or take a camping trip somewhere away from the city. I’d want good food along the way, especially a barbecue or Middle Eastern restaurant. At night, we could go out for dinner, listen to music, have a drink, or stay in and watch a good action or sci-fi movie. The best part would be sharing it with a woman I’m attracted to, laughing, being affectionate, and having time to really connect without feeling rushed.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Do I Believe in Love at First Sight? I believe in attraction at first sight, but not necessarily love at first sight. You can meet someone and immediately feel attracted to them or feel a strong connection, but I think love comes from actually getting to know each other. It takes time, trust, communication, shared experiences, and seeing whether your values and goals match. Attraction might be what starts it, but love is something two people build together.
How many kids would you like to have?
How Many Kids Would I Like to Have? I’ve wanted four kids since I was about 18. Family has always been very important to me, and I come from a family where having a lot of kids is pretty normal, so I’ve always pictured myself having a good-sized family of my own. I actually have a tattoo on my hand where I intentionally left space for my future children’s names. Having kids isn’t just a passing thought for me—it’s something I’ve pictured as part of my future for a long time, and I’d love to meet a woman who wants to build that kind of family together.
How important is someone's physical appearance to you?
How Important Is Someone’s Physical Appearance to Me? Physical attraction is extremely important to me. For me, attraction is what initially creates the desire to approach someone and get to know her. I need to feel that chemistry first, but appearance alone isn’t enough to keep my interest. Once the attraction is there, her personality, values, character, communication, and the way we connect determine whether I want something serious. I’m looking for both—a woman I’m genuinely attracted to and someone whose personality and values make me want to build a life with her.
If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
If I Could Have One Superpower I’d choose teleportation. I’d love being able to go anywhere in the world instantly without worrying about driving, flights, traffic, or how long it takes to get somewhere. I could have dinner in Jordan, spend a weekend in Dubai, visit family whenever I wanted, or take someone on a spontaneous date somewhere completely unexpected. It would give me the freedom to experience more of the world while keeping the people who matter to me close, no matter how far away they are.
What is the purpose of marriage?
What Is the Purpose of Marriage to Me? To me, marriage is about choosing one person to build a life and family with. I want a wife who is my partner, best friend, and someone I’m still attracted to and excited to come home to years from now. Marriage means loyalty, trust, affection, communication, supporting each other through difficult times, and enjoying life together. I want us to share our values and culture, raise our children together, travel, make memories, and grow old as a team. I’m not looking at marriage as simply the next step in dating. I want a lifelong commitment where both people continue choosing each other and putting effort into their marriage and family.
What is the most important lesson that you've learned?
Most Important Lesson I’ve Learned The most important lesson I’ve learned is that life rarely goes exactly according to plan, but that doesn’t mean you stop moving forward. I’ve learned to adapt, stay persistent, and keep working toward what I want even when the path takes longer than expected. I’ve also learned not to take family, time, or the people I care about for granted. Success matters to me, but having people to share it with matters even more. At the end of the day, I want to build a life that I’m proud of while making time for the people I love.
What do your friends like about you most?
What Do My Friends Like Most About Me? My friends would probably say they appreciate my loyalty, honesty, and the fact that I’m someone they can count on. I’m straightforward and I’ll tell you what I really think, but I’m also there when the people I care about need me. I like making people laugh, going out, trying new things, and bringing people together. I take my goals seriously, but I also know how to have a good time. Once I consider someone a real friend, I treat them like family and will go out of my way for them.
What do your friends tease you about the most?
What Do My Friends Tease Me About Most? Probably how stubborn I can be once I’ve made up my mind, how seriously I take the gym, and how I always have to research something before I buy it. They also give me a hard time because I can be very direct and have an opinion about almost everything. I can laugh at myself, though, and I’m usually laughing right along with them.
What gets on your nerves?
What Gets on My Nerves? Dishonesty, disrespect, unnecessary drama, and people who play games or waste my time get on my nerves. I’m pretty straightforward, so I appreciate people who communicate directly and say what they mean. I also don’t like being talked down to or dealing with people who refuse to listen to anyone but themselves. I’m patient about a lot of things, but I have very little patience for disrespect or manipulation.
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
What Is the Most Important Thing in a Relationship? The most important thing to me is trust. I want to know that we’re loyal to each other, communicate openly, and can be ourselves without playing games or questioning where we stand. Attraction and affection are very important to me too, but a lasting relationship needs honesty, respect, communication, and shared values. I want us to support each other, make decisions together, work through disagreements instead of giving up, and still make time for romance and having fun together. I want a relationship where we both know we have someone in our corner no matter what life brings.
What's the best age to get married?
What’s the Best Age to Get Married? I don’t think there’s one perfect age to get married. The best time is when you meet the right person and you’re both mature, committed, and ready to build a life together. For me, I’m at a point where I know what I want, I’m building my career, and I’m ready for marriage and starting a family. I’d rather marry the right woman when we’re ready than rush into marriage just because I reached a certain age.
What turns you off?
What Turns Me Off? Dishonesty, disrespect, poor communication, unnecessary drama, playing games, and being manipulative are major turnoffs for me. I’m also turned off by someone who is rude to other people, constantly negative, or doesn’t take care of herself. Physical attraction matters to me, but so does personality. I’m attracted to a woman who is feminine, affectionate, loyal, family-oriented, communicates directly, and puts effort into herself and the person she’s with.
What turns you on?
What Turns Me On? I’m attracted to a woman who is feminine, confident, affectionate, and takes care of herself. Physical attraction and chemistry are important to me, but I’m also drawn to intelligence, loyalty, a good sense of humor, and a woman who communicates openly. I love someone who can be playful and flirtatious with me while still sharing strong family values and wanting something serious. Speaking Arabic and sharing a Middle Eastern background are especially attractive to me because I want to share my culture, traditions, and family life with my partner.
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
What Do I Hope to Be Doing in Five Years? In five years, I hope to have established myself in healthcare management and project or program management, ideally working in a leadership position where I can continue advancing my career. I’d also like to be living and working in Dubai or somewhere else in the Gulf. Personally, I hope to be married to the woman I’m going to spend my life with and raising a family together. I want to be financially stable, traveling, staying active, enjoying life, and building a home where family is always at the center of everything we do.
