I'm shamelessly honest, open minded, and affectionate. I'm a happy, optimistic person. I judge myself by how I enrich the lives of the people I love. That's a large and ever growing group -and I can confidently say every one of them loves me too- but I'm missing a woman to with whom to fall in love.

I'll admit right out: I'm a geeky weirdo, but I'm entertaining! And people who get to know me usually find me quite charming.

I own and operate a hobby game store in Blacksburg: Fun -N- Games. I pride myself on always giving customers what will best satisfy their entertainment needs even if it makes me less or even no money. I view my job as "Providing geeks & gamers with a place they can feel welcome and make friends... and maybe while they're here they'll pay me some money for stuff." Business has been growing and growing recently.

Objective thinking. I concentrate on avoiding confirmational bias, so I'm good at admitting when I'm wrong. I get along with people. I think outside the box. I'm extremely patient. My friends tell me I am a very entertaining storyteller. I get +2 to saves against mind-affecting spells.

The lens-flare from my forehead. After the spots clear from their eyes, probably my bad fashion sense.

Once you get past those, my shameless honesty.

I'm into mostly stereotypical geek stuff. Anime, Sci-Fi, etc.

I really just love great stories. Reading them, writing them, watching them, hearing them, telling them, retelling them.

Something about animation as a medium appeals to me visually. My current favorite show is Young Justice (at least until Legend of Korra starts airing new eps again.)

Fight Club changed my life.

I have EXTREMELY eclectic musical taste (you'll see what I mean if you come to my store and listen to the playlist for an hour.) My favorite band right now is Lostprophets. No 2 would probably have to be Florence + the Machine.

I pride myself on being able to endure just about anything. But I don't think I could get along without lots of close friends I love and who love me.

I feel listing my favorite things doesn't really tell enough about me. However, one thing everybody always tells me is that the way I talk is very unique. So instead of things I couldn't do without, I'm going to list my top 6 things you will have to put up with hearing if you hang out with me:

Blake's Top 6 Phrases
6) "I believe you."

5) [Immediately after I inform someone of a decision I have made] "...no matter how bad an idea it is."

4) "I like to make a tradition of not doing that."

3) [When discussing some powerful or intimidating thing] "I eat a bowl full of that for breakfast every morning."

2) [When something good is likely to happen] "We're in danger of [that good thing]."

1) Yeahokay (one word)

Objectivity, enlightenment, my store. Finding ways to meet more women.

Running Fun -N- Games! Friday is our biggest night. Ah, the life of an entrepreneur!

There is nothing too private to admit. But on a website? That's a different story. Um... I love to perform cunnilingus?

You're into confident, honest, ethical men and not into hair. I respect women who have the guts to message a man cold on the web. Takes a healthy disrespect for sexist cultural conventions.

I respond to all messages and would appreciate the same consideration, even if only to say "not interested." Doing so is to deliberately put yourself in a socially awkward situation just to make a stranger feel slightly better, so I pledge to never make it more awkward by arguing or pestering with subsequent replies. "No means no"
