Thanks for reading my profile. I'd like to hope that this won't be your typical 20 something male advert and that I've got a little more to offer you (whoever you may be). Who am I? On the surface I'm a lanky floppy haired 23 year old with more than slightly camp personality traits. Beneath the surface is a bit more. I've been romantically polyamorous since I was 16, introducing the sexual element more recently which was a non essential and effortless move forward for the way I do my lifestyle. I figured if I can love more than one person, I can have sex with more than one person as romantic intimacy will always feature higher on my agenda than sex.

I dual-inhabit the epicness that is Byker, the shitty bit in East Newcastle whilst regularly spending the night in North Newcastle (a less shitty bit) with the total legend that is the TheAly. I'm happier in myself now than I've ever been and I say this without hyperbole. She is my chosen Life Partner and my soul mate who gets me on a level that no one else has ever succeeded at; more than a 'girlfriend' could ever be hence why I never intend to label her as such as it would be a disservice to how much she means to me.

Time to list a few other people who mean the world to me who are totally worth your time and are on OkC. Think of this as the OkC award thing in one paragraph as Match.com are being knobs. My nearest and dearest male friend DynamiteHeaddy who I never see enough despite living 4 streets away. Gene Hunt and Spartan troll champion Reislaufer. InternetPixie who is the only woman I'll ever repeatedly wake up for at 4am just to make her a cuppa when she's wankered. My housemates DykeKnight and her charming fella Not-Djikstra whose name is still unpronounceable to me.... My lovely lady pen pals in New Orleans Carey_Imagine and nacirema117.

My persona is erratic and I apologise sincerely for this as it can be annoying as f**k. This is apparently due to me having ADHD which I was diagnosed with earlier this year. One thing for sure is anyone who knows me will tell you I'm never still for long and keeping in one place is a mission. I'm nervous yet sociable in crowds and would go so far as to say I love people. I have a sense for the ridiculous and anything out of the ordinary. My humour is dark but not cruel and I'm the first one in a group to defend anyone being teased unfairly. I'm passionate about my friends and lovers.

Living in a very odd part of Newcastle, where it's not safe to leave Carex dispensers on the bathroom windowsill for fear of theft of the lowest kind.

About to start a new job alongside my research career as a domiciliary care worker for people with dementia.

Taekwondo. I have 1st Dan black belt and I'm soon to be taking my 2nd Dan if I don't f**k it up.

Bit of a cop out as an answer but I guess you could say I'm good in my field. I work as a free lance researcher in two main areas. I recently got appointed a position of Associate Researcher at a nearby university as I'm currently working on a small scale study on how mental illness affects people in their ability to keep work in our ever declining job market.

My second field is quieter at present focussing on the poverty of disasters. Makes you a little funny in the head seeing so much death but I'd like to think I'm making a decent contribution towards improving the lives of the 'bottom billion'.

My long black hair. It's feminine but not excessively girly. Easy to spot me in a crowd with it :-) Long leather coat and aviators. My bi-pride left ear piercings.

The current me is something of sensual hedonist enjoying the pleasures of life to their full potential. I enjoy loud music, preferably live heavy metal. However, I'm also a serious opera and classical buff so I try to get along to a variety of stuff and not box myself into one genre. I endeavour to try as many different foods as possible and love to wine and dine with friends and lovers alike. Curries are my strong point (both cooking them from scratch and choosing a dish for the occasion).

And to lower the tone, despite being dosed to the eyeballs on anti depressants I enjoy a healthy, highly experimental sex life with an open minded attitude towards most acts in the bedroom, and the bathroom, and the kitchen, and the stairs etc....

My travel plans. I generally try to get away for my backpacking every year. The more exotic and dangerous the better ;)

My sex life. Call me shallow but it's a fact that I don't bull shit about.

Nachos. These are my special comfort food that probably do more for curing my depression than my antidepressants ;-)

Real Ale!!! :D

Close friends. Not just people you can chat to but people that you can really let your hair down around and make a twat of yourself in front of without fear of being judged.

Board Games ^_________^

Travel and work abroad as I'm rarely in England for any length of time before getting itchy feet again, wanting to be on another scraggy bus leading to the arse end of naywhere :-)

Please do tell me OkC team. What is a typical Friday night? At a pinch I could reply that mine consist of nights with my lovers, snuggle buddies and besties. Rarely spend it alone as I'm on the move 24/7 visiting people around the North East. F**king shattering but so worth while as I get to spend my Fridays with some of the best people in the world x

Shit happens to me all the time. This isn't an emo cry about my life being tragic you understand? Not the case at all. More that I have the exhausting yet entertaining privilege of having a highly eventful life. Join me for coffee or even better dinner and you may not find me attractive or even likeable but at the very least you won't be left bored with my company.

Who else can you meet who has disturbing anecdotes about being spiked on LSD in Phnom Penh and being convinced that they're responsible for the Khmer Rouge genocide of 1975? Or ridiculous tales about throwing the least successful orgy County Durham has ever witnessed? Or my charming idyllic childhood years thinking fireworks were boring and needed to be dipped in petrol? Or even me having the best timed diarrhoea which meant that I didn't catch my bus which was bombed during an ethnic dispute?

I'll work in reverse just because I can. Don't message me if you have a problem with any of the following:

-Polyamory;
-Bisexuality;
-Non gender binary people;
-Long haired lanky men with a crude sense of humour.

Feel free to message me if you're comfortable with all of the above to at least varying degrees.

Aside from that feel free to message me:

-If you fancy a chat as I can talk the arse end of a donkey.
-You find me at least a little bit attractive.
-You enjoy eating nachos and appreciate real ale.
-You're a chain smoking yummy Mummy (preferably Welsh) whose lamenting over her kids moving out to uni and has discovered that she suddenly has free time on her hands for toy boys with 'lengthy weekends'.
-We live near and you fancy doing a coffee just for the hell of it as good caffeine and good company are my staples.
