Let's see... I'm an east village denizen, 5' 10", slim (145lbs), in shape, with hair on my head and not on my back. I'm kind to waiters, children and the elderly, and have reasonably good table manners. I'm stylish, but with ample testosterone. My friends kid me about being a hopeless romantic. I get a chuckle out it myself, sometimes.

I live in a neighborhood that was once considered hip, though frankly I find it pretty tiresome now. But I still have a lot of friends down here. You'd probably like them. If you're a tolerant sort.

Currently, I run my own business, marketing a product of my own invention.

I've also been a graphic designer, an advertising creative and a leader of underground rock bands, and been quite successful at all except the latter.

What do I like to do? I'm not a chatterbox, but I like good conversation. Could be about human nature, science, design, marketing, politics. The subject's not as important as is having conversation that's collaborative. About what you notice, not what you know.

And I like to play music with friends. To jam on a groove, maybe in a 60s soul vein, or to take it into a darker place, but simple, melodic and rhythmic.

And I find that these activities can be enhanced by moderate consumption of cold beer.

you're a smart, slim woman who lives or works in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Beyond that, I do not have a glass slipper that I'll make you try on. I know a thing or two about myself and my proclivities, but not enough to believe I can predict chemistry.

(It's a bonus if you know that Pyramus is not a town in New Jersey.)
