Short list:

Things I like: politics, sports, documentaries about killer whales, our Prez

Things I dislike: people who need to make their life into a soap opera, people who think art can solve the problems of the world, the Lakers, documentaries about the aforementioned things

Ph.D. student/adjunct professor studying political science, teaching it, mostly grading it. When you're in your cubicle staring at the clock, I'm chilling in a coffee shop reading, and when you're done with work and having fun, uhh yeah I'm still in the coffee shop reading.

everything...and humility.

That I am proficient at walking/standing/sitting down depending on the situation.

Books: Hmm I have to read a lot of political science stuff that makes me interesting to annoying pretentious people who still have no idea what I'm (or they are) talking about, but feel smart if they pretend they do. Otherwise, like anyone else, I like to unwind with a good book about the Yakuza or 1980's wrestling. Oh and if you have The Fountainhead as one of your favorite books we should probably not talk or be in the same room (just joking...but seriously we're probably not gonna get along).

Movies: Usual Suspects, Godfather, anything with Will Ferrell, or Eddie Murphy...in the 80's.

TV: Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, South Park, Jon Stewart, basically shows that don't suck.

Music: Jay-Z. Thats all you need to know. If I wrote in more stuff, it would be detracting from the emphasis that should be given to Jay-Z, but I guess I do like some other stuff...

My Ipad with my kindle app
My cell phone

If I have those 4 things I'm straight...

Why do so many girls on here have a Liz Lemon screen name? Nothing wrong with 30 Rock, it's a good show, so is 60 minutes, but I don't call myself AndyRooney69, do I? Just saying...

Probably getting a drink..somewhere...

I got bit by a radioactive spider and now have superpowers, this has created an ethical quandry.

So if your rough version of how this okc dating thing goes is something like: after initial message we briefly correspond to get a sense of each other i.e. make a determination over whether the other person appears batshit crazy via IM or messaging, over the course of what should probably be no more than a few days (not weeks, months, umm years). Then we make a plan to get together and grab a drink in the near future i.e. in the next week or so (not sometime vaguely on the horizon, if you're so busy, why are you wasting time talking to strange guys on the internet???). After adhering (not flaking) to aformentioned plan, if we like each other we repeat from the previous step (making a plan to get together in the near future): if one of us does not, and the other inquires about seeing each other further, the disinterested party politely yet in a straightforward fashion makes clear their lack of interest, while the still-interested party thanks them for being clear, disengages, and both people move on with their lives...umm so concludes our hypthothetical dating scenario, I hope it was as fun for you as it was for me.

On a hipster scale of 1-10 (10 being you're a member of an indie rock group and stole my grandmother's glasses), you are confident that you do not exceed a 6.

..Also since I don't know where else to put this, quite a while back I was in the military. This is not a major or defining aspect of my life as currently lived, but for a small, but apparently not insignificant number of the "liberal-minded" ladies on here, this is a dealbreaker sort of thing that should be mentioned up front. So if you think that anyone who has ever put on a uniform is a bloodthirsty lunatic, or has PTSD, or is a right-wing crypto-fascist...umm I would hate to waste your time, although I'm sure you are an awesome person.

...sorry if this all sounds jaded, but in my experience it is easier to figure out what won't work on here than what will. If you are looking for a no bs guy, with a lot of sarcasm, who knows about (some) stuff and has well defined triceps, give me a shout...or at least respond to my message.
