My self-summary
I'm not typical in any sense and what I want is not run of the mill.

Honesty and good communication are really important to me. It should be open, with an 'anything goes' mentality. Our hopes, our dreams, our fears, thoughts on anything that comes up. We don't have to agree on everything. It would probably get boring if we did. Varied and diverging interests help us to grow and learn.

I have been polyamorous. I've been monogamous. A slut. And once upon a time, a prude. I hope I'm better for who I've been than who I was. Life teaches interesting lessons if you're open to learning them.

I like to find something and let it develop organically rather than steer toward an impending cliff. I find different things with different people, from friendship to playmates to lovers to who knows... I'd like to think I can fall head over heels in love again.

In the interests of honest disclosure, I"ll say that I'm kinky. Not furry handcuffs kinky. I live a leather lifestyle that fosters and values honor, integrity, respect, transparency, and acceptance of others' life choices. If you've read Fifty Shades, you'll have some idea of what I enjoy. But know that those books have given a pretty skewed and overly simplistic interpretation of it.

I am an artist. I paint a scene but not a picture. I lay lines in a bend that contour to a figure. It is an art of discovery, imagination and enlightenment. It's something that really should be experienced, but can be awe inspiring to behold.

A job brought me to Seattle last year. I moved up from Honolulu, where I'd spent a decade. Lush tropics, gorgeous weather year round, but there was more bad than good. I missed the cooler weather, the changing of seasons, and for what I do there are a lot more options here.

I was born and raised in New York City. I spent a decade around Virginia Beach, and a few years on the island of Sardinia, Italy. I've traveled through Ireland, Greece, Turkey, and parts of Spain and France.

I'm a rough, gruff man's man and I'm told that to know me is to like me. Humor is important, often dark - sometimes loud and always worth smiling about. I look for the lighter side in most everything and don't seem to take things too seriously on the surface, though I am fairly pragmatic and a pretty serious person. I love to talk and am an avid listener when I meet someone who can articulate their thoughts and share a story.

I like learning things, I like trying new things, I like introducing people to things they're curious about. I like learning patterns, and I take pride in my ability to remain articulate under difficult circumstances.

I find it really hard to describe what I want outside of who I want it with, because it's so dependent on the person involved and how I respond to them. I'm reluctant to rule much out because I enjoy so many things. Sometimes my whole world is flipped completely upside down, roles reverse, and sometimes it's a good thing.

Slainte,

Tim
What I’m doing with my life
I'm really good at dreaming up creative ways to have more fun in my life. Not that I don't have good times as it is, but I've been called diabolical more than a few times now and I will have conquered the world at last by 1999!

I started a diet last week. I quit smoking 8 months ago and put on some baby weight. To be fair, I had some baby weight before I quit smoking. I'm trying to live healthier so I can have a better quality of life.
I’m really good at
Being left handed
Spotting bullshit a mile away
Being the most interesting person you'll meet this month
Laughing at bad jokes, and telling worse ones
Talking forever over coffee
Getting you to read this far down the page
The first things people usually notice about me
Going past my eyes, my very presence, more often it's my voice that grabs someone. I get accused of trying to sound like Marlon Brando, but it's just how I sound.

Mix in the fact that I grew up in The Bronx and my accent pops when I'm tired or excited. An Irish family upbringing gave me lilt that mixes interestingly. Depending on the situation or my mood, I go from Brando to Danny Aiello to the guy on the lucky charms commercials.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Dr who, Torchwood... when new eps of either/both. Too bad BSG ended. Family Guy, SouthPark when I can. I really don't have a lot of time for television.

I've read a veritable ton of boy-book political/action/drama/thriller books by a long list of authors. Lately, it's more technical manuals but I also have a growing library on sex positive titles and others that deal with creative sexuality.

Movies, I love everything from Mel Brooks; Clerks, Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys, Boondock Saints, The Princess Bride, LOTR, Secretary, A Clockwork Orange, The Big Lebowski, Office Space, Short Bus, Woody Allen (better in the 70's-80's), Natural Born Killers, How to train your dragon, Shaun of the Dead, the Fifth Elment, Serenity, Starwars (older vs newer), American Beauty, Monty Python, Metropolis, most anything playing on AMC or TCM, Documentaries.

Perhaps strange, big bad kinkster and all, I don't watch a lot of porn. It kind of bores me (I used to write porn reviews professionally, it got old fast).

I range from the Dubliners, Flogging Mollies, Dropkick Murphys, to Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Emma Shapplin, Pavarotti, Bach and Tchaikovsky. Blues, Jazz, Electro-Swing, Radiohead, U2, Jack Johnson, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, The Beastie Boys, ACDC, and sometimes, even bluegrass.

Food wise, well... I was on an almost all carb diet for a while and that hasn't quite worked out as I thought it would. There'll be no best selling diet books in my future. Unless I buy them. I've sworn off junk foods, sodas, pastas and starch. I still love to eat but I'd rather cook something healthy and delicious.
The six things I could never do without
Honesty
Tenderness
Humor
A good book
Good coffee in the morning
A good girl to share it with
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I spend a lot of time contemplating what I believe, what I want, what I will or won't do, and how I feel about just about everything. I love to regularly challenge my own pre-conceived ideas as I find my feelings about so many things have changed over time...and I am sure they will continue to evolve. In my 20s I was too uptight and shy to ever consider the way I'm now living my life in such a sexually explorative way. I'm so glad that I decided to take some chances and stopped letting fear get in my way.
On a typical Friday night I am
Typical? I had to google it. I don't do typical. What I do do (no pun there) is amazing. Inventive. Diabolical. And sometimes I do it alone, but it's more fun to laugh with someone else.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
My favorite color is purple and I can really appreciate a good camel toe :)
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 24–40
  • Near me
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
You're highly verbal, and a good listener.

You aren't boring (cuteness makes up in some cases but not all)

You're geeky, can write complete sentences with proper punctuation, like to watch anime (including family guy), open to foreign films on occasion

You like spend a significant amount of time smiling at dumb things, and own at least one item with Hello Kitty on it.

You think I'm really cute and want to feel the rub of my beard on your skin.
