"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates

I'm a kind and honest guy seeking a relationship with a person that I can connect with both emotionally and in a cognitive level. I'm a playful guy that will attempt to make you laugh like no one else has! I'm the opposite of what people would consider an "alpha male." I believe in equality, so I'm seeking someone who wants to be treated as my equal, not someone who wants a "head of the household" type of guy. I'm a very laid back guy and have often been told that I'm soft spoken, patient, loyal, and very charming. I come from a poor background, but through hard work, several packages of different flavored ramen, and companionship from my furry friends, I'm here, happy, and ready to rock n roll (yey). I'm very well spoken and have been described as "someone who grew up around white people", which is kinda true (I think people are trying to tell me that I don't have an accent, but I don't really know). I ride a motorcycle for the thrill and sights. I'm a guy who doesn't allow society to dictate who I am or what to like thus allowing me to have an open mind.

I have a great career as a therapist for autistic children. I have my own place, I'm mobile, and I'm drama free. Please be the same or working towards being independent. I really enjoy going out for drinks, events, dancing, and much more, so it'd be awesome if you were an active, sociable person.

I graduated from UCLA with BA in anthropology, and though I love the subject, finding a job in a related field is difficult, but I was fortunate enough to be hired as a therapist for children with autism - it's a very rewarding job. I plan to go back to school for a PhD in Child Psychology.

Playing instruments, creating music, making people laugh, being a good friend, caring for animals, video games, dressing like a 70s-80s Greaser, riding and fixing a motorcycle, and so much more... ask if you like to know about specifics; I'm a nice guy so don't be shy.

I tend to have a serious expression that might make people think twice about talking to me, but once a conversation is engaged, they notice that I'm a very approachable guy.

There are so many that I like, but I'll try my best to write some of my favorites down.

Books: Jeeves and Wooster by P.G. Woodhouse, all the Harry Potter books, LOTR, several novels by Oscar Wild, "It" by Stephen King (any many others by him), and a lot more.

Music: I have no bias when it comes to music, If it sounds good, I listen to it. Anything from Rob Zombie to Johnny Cash.

Food: Ramen, more ramen, and a bit of ramen! I love all types of food, but I particularly have a liking for ramen!

6) Nature

What I'm going to be eating next. Whether people take the matching questions seriously. What type of beer I should buy next. Did I remember to do my homework? Space Travel.

doing everything. I'll usually go out with some friends to a bar or live show (if any are playing). If not that, I'm at home practicing the guitar, maybe loving my parrots or my cat, watching an 80s flick... I will most definitely be listening to some sort of music.

I like to eat crickets! No, really, I swear. The consumable crickets are called "chapulines" in Spanish. They are caught in the Oaxaca Valley in Mexico and shipped to some local LA restaurants where they either prepare them for you or sell them boiled to you where you can take them home and prepare them yourself... I do the latter.

If you're outgoing, open minded, serious about dating (short-term, long-term), and are willing to meet at some point. If you want to be friends or start out as friends. Be yourself.

I'm a sucker for beautiful smiles.
