OkCupid is Free Online Dating.

Hello,

FYI, in the near future...my profile will go through multiple changes as I am new. It is only partially done with revisions to come. Please excuse the tiepos/grammer misteaks until than;).

Let me say this site is FREAKY. I joined and the first person I was matched with was a friend who was going to move in as my roommate that month. Due to outside factors, that fell through. Besides that, in the first quiver match was another girlfriend whom I have known for 2+ years. Continuing with the Twilight Zone experience, I have been matched with 10 others who are already friends. I wonder...if I say I am gay on my profile, will I get "matched up" with my gay friends or my friends who "say" they are straight? Ok, with this Twilight Zone stuff going on, I figure this site must be pretty good or they raided my contacts list;)

I am an inventive, imaginative person thus I made up word Intelligentleman as an adjective as I could only use 3 adjectives to describe myself here. I aspire to be a wordsmith one day and sometimes make up words. At one point in my life, I was a linguist (Spanish and Russian).

Let's start with why I am here. I am open to meeting someone on 3 levels:

1. Acquaintances, who I meet at social events, with whom we enjoy socializing at a cultural events, parties and other events. Introducing them to others at such events.
2. Personal friends with whom I would make plans to go to to dinner with, theatre, hiking, biking, etc. Introducing them to others at such events.
3. Romantic interest with whom I would......well wouldn't you like to know....and don't even ask about introducing them to others;)

I am originally from New Orleans and lived the 7 years before NYC in San Francisco. I have found many in NYC view friendship differently. While my ideal would be to meet someone here with whom I could spend the rest of my life in a romantic relationship, I am open to the beauty of developing relationships on different levels. I think that many in NYC are in such a rush or are so self-centered that they miss out on what life has to offer. Through the years and on other sites, I have met friends, lovers and lovers who have transitioned to platonic friends. Some of these friendships are 10 years old. I am friends with their spouses. What I really like about this website is that it get to the values that someone has. One value for me is to try to remain friends with those I have dated. I think if you share much in common then why shouldn't you remain friends.

Mentally: intelligence
Spiritually: compassion
Emotionally: gregarious

Mental stimulation/Learning, good friends, music, compassion(seeing it in the world is beauty), out of the 5 senses...which would be the hardest to lose...touch...this is a very rare condition...imagine a world without kisses, hugs, cuddles, caresses, playful pats on the butt. Sounds like a good OKCupid question. What sense would be the worst to lose?

1. Emotionally stable and without mental illness. (I believe in Mental Health Care and take it seriously. I am just not ready for this challenge in my dating life.)
2. Put effort into your relationships so they are healthy, long-term and sustainable(this means friendships too).
3. Believe that sarcasm generally comes at the expense of others and wit takes intelligence/talent can be used to build others up.
4. You are a nonsmoker.
5. If the hardest drug you use is occasionally weed(though I don't do it.)
6. If you are able to get in touch with your inner child.
7. You are open-minded.
