Let me introduce myself. My full name is Andrei Andreevich Ivanov. I was born on the 29th of March 1985 in Minsk, where I live now together with my parents and my younger sister.
As to my appearance, I’m rather tall, i.e. 180 centimetres tall, but not of a very powerful built. My hair is dark and my eyes are blue. I am shortsighted and I have to wear spectacles most of the time.
I believe that stars influence our fate and character, so as you see I am Aries. They say that Aries is full of energy, a leader, ambitious and frank, likes sport, hot tempered, but quick to apologize. Partially it is true. I think I am even-tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become either angry or sad.
I’ve got a sense of humour; I understand humour and appreciate it. But unfortunately, I’m not often witty myself. Besides I’m sincere and tolerant, friendly and faithful, hard working and serious.
There are many things in our life, which I like, and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study, because knowledge is useful. My favourite occupation is playing the guitar, reading and going to the theatre. I’m fond of the music of the 60-s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presly. I’m fond of sport as well. I’m not keen on television; I rarely watch it. I getting up early and dislike overcrowded buses. I’m happy I have got more things I like than I dislike. That’s all I can say about myself.

Allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is John and I am single, male in my mid twenties. I have blond hair, blue-eyes, slender athletic build. I do not smoke.
I do not drink and I don’t do any type of drugs.
I work for a large business company in California. I usually work 10-12 hours
a day and have three days off. I’m majoring in History and German, which I will use to study international law. I hope to be able to study law for use between the U.S. and Europe.
When I’m not busy with work and studies, I enjoy spending time and relaxing with friends. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, keeping in good physical shape, reading and researching military history. The things I hope to achieve in life are to have a very successful career, a healthy life, to build a home of my dreams and to become a well rounded person, never stop growing spiritually and learning about the world. What I hope for most is to find someone in life to share all this with.
