OkCupid is Free Online Dating.

Let me just say, like everyone else, I dislike the idea of summarizing myself on one page. There's a hell of a lot more to me than this profile.

Just because I'm on a dating site doesn't mean I'm looking for a date, but it doesn't mean I'm not open to the idea. And no, I'm not just looking for a hook-up. Figured I'd throw that out there.

I'm Ian. I'm cute and unassuming. I'm an action junkie. I'm a total romantic sweetheart. I'm completely harmless to 99% of people (Those other 1% should be afraid). I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMT. I've been told many times that if this were the Middle Ages, I would be the "knight in shining armor-type".

I'm an interesting person. I've been in burning buildings, saved a few lives, almost been killed numerous times, been on a trip to the site of the Titanic sinking... and those are just the beginning. I should write a book.

I'm very opinionated, but I usually keep them to myself. I'm overly patient and tolerant, but even I have my limits. I will always play devil's advocate to anything. If asked, I will give you my honest beliefs on a subject, but be ready to defend yours. It's not that I like arguing, I just dislike pushovers. I'm a firm believer that most arguments in a relationship would be solved if one person just hugged the other. Hey, if that doesn't work, there's always kung fu fighting.

I thrive on meeting new people. Everyone has a story to tell, and I want to hear them.

I'm like a 50 year old trapped in a 16 year old's body.

I'm pretty much a big deal.

I just graduated from Niagara University with a BS in Criminal Justice. I currently work at Rural-Metro Ambulance as an EMT-Basic. I save lives and make a difference for meager wages.

I'm on my computer a lot. Unlike many males my age, I've finally learned that games come secondary to my life, not the other way around.

However, I've been known to play WoW, along with other FPS and RTSs. I tolerate some RPGs, but never really got into them. I've been on the internet since AOL 2.0, and I know my way around. I'm an oldfag on 4chan (4 years). Played Utopia back when it had boats. Beat that, suckas.

No, I don't expect many of you to understand the above words.

Also, (Rock Band > Guitar Hero) and (Ninjas > Pirates). Deal with it.

Saving others, at the expense of myself. Also I frequently find a way to dig myself into a hole during a conversation, and scramble to try and work my way out.

Note, these aren't always the greatest things. lol

First, they notice that I'm thin and I look like I'm 16.

If they get past that, they say I'm really easy to talk to. Or so I hear, when people are talking to me.

If they see me in my ambulance with lights and sirens going, hopefully they GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY.

Food, Air, Music, Internet. I'll supply the rest.

Life. Past, present, future.

How fucked we all are in the next 100 years.

Working, with friends, or sitting on my ass wishing I was out. I'm not a big drinker, but I like being out.

Conversely, I secretly just wish for a quiet night with a movie, a bowl of popcorn, and someone to cuddle.

I'm often too smart, too random, and too romantic for my own good. And I have a documented list of my "perfect girl" qualities. True story.

I rarely tell my deepest darkest secrets because, frankly, no one would believe me.

Also, I'm cursed.

-* Ok, I'll admit this. Sometimes I look at someone's profile multiple times, just to see how they react. I don't even necessarily read the profile - Just open the page and close it with a little chuckle. Many times I'm not even interested in them for anything other than being curious of their reaction.

If you'd like to open up, swap stories, and meet someone new.

If you know what 4chan is. (If not, please don't look it up, for your own good.) If you find me interesting. This includes dating, intelligent conversation, or just some other reason. If you're cute, opinionated, and willing to jump into a car with me at midnight for destinations unknown.
