WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW is a woman that I can express my geeky and/or sexual side with. I prefer open relationships to monogamy but am not opposed to the latter.

I am a geek who keeps in shape. I'm a foodie that understands that food is food. I'm a romantic that has particular sexual needs. I'm a double-fire sign that can shut the hell up and just listen. I am an entrepreneur that has yet to fully express myself in this world (yet). I know how to take initiative yet I need to be told what to do in many instances. I am honest when you ask me what I think. Otherwise, I keep it to myself.

A few observations from Bill.
You're on my A-List when:
-- You realize that you live in this world with other people and respect that fact through your actions.
-- You're not a "nice" person just for the sake of getting what you want (I do understand that some people don't realize that they do this).
-- You know how/are good at fixing things (it's a balance issue....because I am not good at fixing things).
-- You can hold your own against my wit (not bragging. Just a fact).
-- You can have an entire evening's worth of conversation in another accent with a straight face.
-- You on some level practice "Whatever you resist, persists."
-- You're a tabletop gamer.
-- You know what "tabletop" refers to in the last sentence.
-- You have a life outside of who your dating currently.
-- You like public affection.
-- If you have a STD, you're open/not ashamed about it.
-- You're a leader in at LEAST one aspect of your life.

You're on my shit-list when:
-- You watched the movie "American Beauty" and were NOT moved in some way.
-- You go to the grocery store, see a produce clerk taking all of one piece of produce off of the shelf, and DON'T know that s/he is simply rotating the product.
-- You can't cook AT LEAST one meal well.
-- You're on a date and you can't turn off your cell phone/not look at your texts/stop tweeting for one second and just BE with the person you're with.
-- You talk during a movie (unless you whisper SO quietly OR the movie is able to be paused).
-- You're an angry foodie of some sort.

I'm opening up a game shop (board/card/role-playing) with a few friends. I am working at New Seasons Market until then. I'm riding by bicycle as a full-time commuter. I just started to up my game and bike all the way home from Beaverton to Mt Tabor. I'm playing many tabletop games with friends on a weekly basis. I live in a co-op environment with 5 other wonderful people.

Playing games (not of the emotional variety), selling produce, drumming, storytelling, accents and funny voices, sex (so others have said), making others laugh, etc.

My smile (if they bring it out of me :)), my friendliness....and then my comedic irreverence. Nothing is sacred if it gets a laugh!

Books: Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit, George R R Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series, H.P. Lovecraft, anything that'll creep me out really
Graphic Novels: The Walking Dead, Transmetropolitan, The Invisibles, Sandman, The Unwritten, Preacher, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Y: The Last Man, Scalped, etc. (Graphic novels are one of my favorite entertainment mediums)
Movies: Office Space, Seven, Fight Club, The 13th Warrior, Conan the Barbarian, American Beauty, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Waking Life, anything by P.T. Anderson, well done horror, Goodfellas, most things by Akira Kurosawa, any good Sci-Fi (like Event Horizon, Alien, etc.)
Shows: Battlestar Galactica, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, True Blood (although the third season was mediocre), Mad Men, Spartacus, Lost, Fringe (started off really good...don't know how I feel about it now), The I.T. Crowd, Sherlock, Doctor Who, etc.

food, water, entertainment (whatever that may be), sex, sleep, and variety. Typical american man, perhaps. I could DEFINITELY do without sports, although I DO get into playoff games.

Games, produce, rhythm, sex, monsters, history, fiction, my game shop that will be in the future.

Playing a board game or role-playing game OR having/making dinner with my girlfriend or household, OR in a coffee shop reading/writing OR skiing (if it's winter).

I have genital herpes. Might as well get that out of the way now. I don't like to be disappointed and neither will you. I do keep it under control via medication.

....any of these things are you...
- I was in a committed open relationship until recently and is what I prefer in a partnership. I find monogamy challenging but not impossible.
- You like to laugh.
- You take care of yourself. I won't go out with you if you aren't in decent shape.
- You're a geek of some variety (you pretty much HAVE to like games. Preferably no video games, although not a deal-breaker).
- You can deal with a Sagittarius with Ares rising and Scorpio moon....with herpes. HA!
- You're willing to share your Rising and Moon sign with me. (Bonus! if you are an Aquarius in your Sun, Rising, or Moon and Scorpio in Sun or Rising)
- You appreciate well made/fresh grown/best of the best produce/food.
- You like to ride your bi-CYC-AL!
- You have an affinity for music (new age country is NOT music, people!).
- You're NOT a delicate flower (if you just play one on T.V., that's fine).
