This is incomplete, I hope to flesh it out with time.

To say I'm not looking for anything is untrue, however, I'm not looking for people to fill roles, but rather people as people. In my life, intellectual interest is a prerequisite for friendship which is a prerequisite for attraction which is a prerequisite for romance. I don't believe in traditional dating and I don't have any particular trust in a statistical model. I hope to meet people, and simply go where I go with those people, just as I would face to face.

A loaded question, to be sure.

In certain ways I am working to improve my life. I attend Berkeley, finishing up my degree in Sociology there. I work for Stanford in an unrelated field and am exploring other options for the future.

My peculiar appearance, visible incongruity, and, one can only hope, my somewhat surprising smile - I apparently ration it these days.

I'm uncomfortable with the construct of genre, and while I will use it when necessary, for the above types of media it is better to say that I am open to most genre and I'm always willing to investigate something new.

1. Heart
2. Words
3. Intimacy
4. Genius
5. Libraries
6. Heroism

Creating in seclusion or spending a fine evening with friends. I do prefer atypical Friday nights, truth be told.

I am not being entirely true to myself in my above responses, I am neither as simple nor as straightforward as the rest of my profile might indicate.

You're willing to be aggressive here, and you're looking for a person rather than some characteristic or component thereof.
