Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Probably the most defining thing about my personality is that it's a mixture of traits that you might not expect to go together. I don't like to be just one kind of person. And to force myself into a pre-packaged box, no way.

I don't like something or go along with something just because it's popular or that it's what everyone else does. For example:

I think some women look great with hair. I don't necessarily mean on their heads.

I don't like a jealous or possessive relationship. What a girlfriend of mine does with other people is her business, not mine.

I don't watch the sports that most Americans watch. But I do follow a sport, I follow professional cycling.

I do not watch television.

I will not have kids, I will not get married.

I am about halfway through restoring my circumcised foreskin.

I look at a lot of porn but I have trouble finding porn that I like.

Many people in the forums of okcupid passionately hate me because I believe that make-up does not make a woman more attractive. I don't like arguing but I don't apologize for being myself or having my own opinion.

Some other things about me:

I like hiking, cooking, watching movies, playing board games or card games, and I'm open to other things.

I play trumpet in the Ithaca Concert Band.

I think I'm moderately talkative. Some people are better at starting conversations that I am. Others are not talkative. I'm probably in the middle. I like conversation, but periods of quiet are alright too.

I'm looking for a cozy relationship that starts out as just platonic friends and develops into more at whatever pace and manner feels right for myself and my partner.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I am artistic and creative but I don't get to use those traits and skills as much as I like, I'm hoping to use them more some day. I have college degrees in Graphic Design, from a school in Philadelphia, and Communications, from a school in Massachusetts.

It has been suggested that I put something in my profile showing that I have a muscular body. Shit, maybe I really do need to talk about my job situation a little more, and have a photo of me ripping my sweat-drenched shirt off. It's not glamorous in the financial sense, but I've been doing things like moving furniture, working on a tree farm, shoveling snow and carrying 50 pound bags of salt up and down sidewalks in the winter.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Some of my favorite music is the the 77's (an indy band), Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Adams, Sade, AC/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and The Beatles.

I like to read the National Geographic and books with similar subject matter. I read sporadically. I used to read novels, but I don't think I'm interested in fiction much anymore. I'm trying to remember to get back in the habit of reading since I seem to enjoy it.

Some of my favorite movies are the Naked Gun movies, Airplane, movies with Bill Murray, the Van Wilder movies, Star Trek, the Pink Panther movies.
