I only look at the Herald Sun if I want a good laugh.

I'm a liberal. That means I'm neither a socialist/greenie/leftie nor a loony right-wing nutter. I believe in liberty and individual freedom.

I like sex positive people who don't think porn is ruinous or that children need to be 'protected' from everything.

I am a grammar Nazi. CD's really bothers me.

I enjoy talking about politics, sex and religion at the dinner table.

In social settings, religious people and I generally don't get along very well.

Some women have called me a feminist. Others, by the virtue/vice of having a penis, have simply called me pro-feminist. Yet others think that I am an insensitive Capitalist bastard who is part of "The System/Patriarchy". Personally, I think they are all at least partly right, depending on one's point of view!

I'm in a long-term non-exclusive relationship with a fabulous partner, so if that bothers you, you might want to move on. I'm here mostly to network with like-minded people, and to escape the monogamous heteronormative society around me (now I'm beginning to sound like a lefty Arts student...)

Finally staying in one country for more than 3 years.

I work hard, love travelling, enjoy the simple things in life like good food and wine, music and good company.

- Solving world problems in my head
- Driving in neutral in city traffic
- Cooking exotic dishes
- Not reading all the magazines/books that I buy
- Planning to reform the copyright/patent system
- Having too much caffeine
- Masturbation and sex. In the former I can attest to my aptitude, in the latter, I can merely claim to have had good partners!

My accent probably? Most people have a hard time guessing where it's from (if you want to have a go, there are a few clues on this page).

For what it's worth :

TV:
Current favourites include: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad.
All-time favourites include: The Wire, The Sopranos and The West Wing.
Favourite mini-series: Angels in America
Also love British classics like Yes Minister, Monty Python and Black Adder.

Books: I try and read widely, from philosophy to classics to science fiction to comics, and sometimes even biographies.

Movie:
Generally like the works of Cohen Brothers, Guillermo Del Toro and Pedro Almodovar. All time favourite directors also include Stanley Kubrick and Krzysztof Kieślowski.

As for actors/actresses, I think Ingrid Bergman is the most beautiful woman who has ever lived on this planet, so I've seen everything she's played in!

Food:
I Love cheese!
And wine...and coffee... and everything really!

- My smartphone (is it sad or funny that the first thing on the list is a phone?)
- Good coffee, and I'm blessed to live in Melbourne!
- Engaging, intellectually stimulating conversations
- Sex (or perhaps this should be number 1?)

You'll figure out the other 2 when you meet me I'm sure.

How to solve the developing world's problems by a combination of technology and micro finance!

Either out enjoying a bottle of wine, or enjoying the same bottle of wine cuddled at home watching a movie; or sometimes doing other things but they also generally include wine in one form or the other!

That I used to listen to Britney Spears when I was 12!

You enjoy a good conversation over wine, don't like going to movies alone or want a friend to have coffee with in the city.
