Simply put, I'm a laid-back guy with a love of humor. I grew up in the New York suburbs and went to school in upstate New York, but now I can finally say I'm a New Yorker without feeling like I'm lying by omission. I'm not ashamed to admit that I've seen every episode of The Simpsons and can probably recite them all. I'm usually up for doing pretty much anything: from getting lost in the city, to hiking, to just hanging out watching a movie or playing a board game (party games and nerdy games are my thing). As a warning, my cooking skills pretty much end at pasta, although I'm great at ordering out and love to barbecue.

Since moving to Manhattan I've been walking everywhere instead of taking the subway (to everyone's bewilderment), trying to explore as much as I can. I've already gotten lost in Central Park, but fortunately made it out before sunset. As long as I have music or podcasts to listen to, I'm fine. I'm looking forward to having more adventures around the city.

I'm hoping to meet an intelligent person who doesn't mind laughing at immature things.

I'm a software engineer in the financial industry, moving up the ladder in the corporate world. It's more interesting than it sounds, I promise!

Making people laugh--whether it be from an intelligent quip or a really stupid joke. Sometime both at once.

My shaved head (I'm not from the future, though)

Movies: The Incredibles, the new Batmans (Batmen?), The Prestige, and the Back to the Future trilogy. That's just a random selection to give you an idea, at least. There's way too much to list. I recently got Netflix, so I have a long list of movies to catch up on - how did I live without this?

TV: I've recently been watching Community, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Homeland, and Fringe. I'm also a huge fan of Lost, Arrested Development, and The Simpsons. Next on the list of shows that I need to watch but aren't on Netflix are The Wire and Game of Thrones.

I'm big into rock (classic and new) and alternative. It's hard to name a favorite band, but recently I've been listening to a lot of Arcade Fire for some reason. I've also been to a bunch of Dave Matthews Band shows, but I'm not a hippy! Anything but country, really. Best concert I've been to was Tenacious D, where Jack Black was about 5 feet away from me. Magical!

I can be persuaded to eat most any type of food. Favorites are Italian and Mexican. Honestly, just keep me away from sushi (please don't hold this one against me!). Since moving to Manhattan, I've been all about brunch on the weekend.

Friends and family (the last two were the cliché ones, so I've grouped them as one)
My car (I've sold it since I moved to the city, but I can't bring myself to remove it from this list)

How to stop myself from singing along with my music on the subway. This was never a problem when I commuted by car.

...out at a movie, at a bar, having dinner with friends, karaoke-ing, board gaming (I'm a pro at Apples to Apples - trust me), spending a lazy night in with Netflix, or any combination of the above.

Nice try, website...

...you have similar interests. That's a good enough reason to start a conversation. I'm looking for the sweet girl with a head on her shoulders that I could bring home to mom. Jewish is a plus, but not too big of a deal. Being a goofball is definitely a plus, too!
