You stumbled onto another profile in the bay area, so you shouldn't be surprised to see another geek.

As expected I'm a sorta-typical high-tech nerd working for a software company.

A little less predictable things about me:
- I was born & raised in Belgium, Europe. This may explain some of the quirky things about me, like insisting on mayonnaise on my fries.
- I am married to MistressSFCutie and we are both looking to expand our relationships. This doesn't mean that we are a "package deal", but it does mean that we tell each-other everything. Whether you call that poly/open/swinger/greedy is your call.
- I'm kinky in a nerdy sort of way. Into BSDM, bondage (studying Kinbaku/Shibari), spanking, flogging. My favorite tool is the "Violet Wand" for electrifying play.

Trying to live it to the fullest. I consider myself a "1%-er" in terms of experiences.

I bike, run, code, scuba dive, sky dive, code, hack, think and thinker.

I work in tech. I'm the silent guardian, watchful protector, but mostly cranky janitor.

The boyish, mischievous look and the cute butt.

I'm usually called the "instigator", or "villain".

Oxygen. Touch. Sushi. XKCD. Mental stimulation. The look in a women's eyes when she climaxes.

Pondering life, happiness in all it's forms. Figuring out new ways to blow minds.

Also, I can and will debate anything and anybody on any subject I feel strongly about. I think I got our house on the blacklist of the door-to-door preachers of most religions by now.

... wondering what "normal" people do.

As a healthy cisgendered white male, employed in a well-paying job he likes, living in one of the nicest places in the world, in a wonderful relationship, I am aware of my "privilege" and thankful for my good luck.

On the other hand, as a straight guy on a dating site, I should expect a message reply rate of about 0.4% .

All in all, I can't really complain. Let's just see what happens.

- You want to experience a life less vanilla.
- The match is > 80%. Trust the algorithm. I for one welcome our new robotic overlords.
