Optimistic and for the most part easygoing. I'm often mistaken for an extrovert but actually need quality time by myself to regenerate. I try to keep life in perspective: Overall, I feel blessed, so I try not to get too upset when I don't get a pony for Christmas.

Exploring what life has to offer on every level. San Francisco is a good place to do that.

A bunch of stuff, but foremost maintaining deep, lifelong friendships. I've known many of my friends since college or shortly thereafter. Others, I've met along the way, and happily they tend to stay around. As long as I meet one person in a year with whom I find a deep and lasting connection, well, then that was a great year.

...entirely unaware that it's Friday night. I work from home, mostly in the mornings, but sometimes late into the night. While I like having fun, that usually doesn't involve a crowd, so I tend to spend Friday nights quietly.

I'm neither a top nor a bottom, at least not until I really get to know a guy and feel truly comfortable with him. Until then, there are lots of fun ways two naked guys can have fun together.

...you're in your 30s or early 40s, are on the shy side, and like guys who are somewhat older than yourself.
