"The answer it seems is known to the man who asks the least objectionable questions...thus, I'll never figure it out." How do I define myself? I'm low key, like a Chia pet, but not nearly as hip. I'm the son of a Russian emmigrant and a Scot, I was raised mostly in Iceland. I work here and there doing what interests me. I'm well educated, but don't do much with it formally. It's not lack of drive or initiative that spurns my uncertainty, but a love of the unknown. I've been an actor, musician, artist, activist...a father...a soldier...even a prisoner in an African cell. A DJ, a geek, a fan boy...a boyfriend. All to varying degrees of success. I'm cheeky, a bit naughty. I abhor definitions. And I defy people who try to fit me neatly into one. And like everyone else it seems, I'm horrible at describing myself...a shame I can't train a monkey to do this. I enjoy human touch, laughter and the intimacy of friends. I hope that I can find all three here.

Searching...living...trying as I am able not to fuck things up more than I have the capacity to fix.

About half of what I try to be good at...and karaoke.

Sense of humour...accent...which gives you a sense of humour.

Other people... and GUT...but, mostly other people. And why people on here never seem to message me first? Do I have something in my teeth? Have I grown a third nipple? Come on...take the leap!

Who knows? You tell me...and apparently wearing the same hat.

I'm far naughtier and more confident than I look. i like kink? Wow...let's just lay all our cards out right here shall we? I just learned to tie my own ties last week? shocking I know.

You understand the reference of my screename. You know what GUT is without google. You are actually ATTRACTED to really smart guys with a creative edge. You don't mind a "nice" guy with a dark side. Your exceptional in a way important to you. You don't believe in timelines or presumptions. Your open-minded. Or...and this is important...you want to. If your up for whatever...coffee...date...a chat...staring at each other broodingly. I'm game...you?
