Note: I slowly add more stuff to this as I figure out what I want to say about myself to other people. Im also totally confused why OKCupid wants me to message more random people.

I am a kinky guy heavily involved in the local BDSM scene which I have been a part of for the last 6 years. Rope bondage is a huge passion of mine, I teach workshops as well as private lessons. Being involved in the community is a huge part of my life, my kinky friends accept me for who I am, and I can always be myself around them.

I have a passion for the outdoors and I am lucky to have a job that lets me enjoy them, however this means sometimes I want to skip hiking on the weekend because I have been hiking the entire week. You just have to kick me in the ass a little bit and remind me I get to use a trail and dont have to slash my way through underbrush.

Ive gotten into road cycling for exercise over the past year but I have found I enjoy it a lot. I really like long rides and I am looking for riding buddies to go out with. This also helped me get hooked up with a great non profit that I volunteer at weekly, community cycling center.

Working at turning my job into a true career, living life and moving forward. Exploring more creative outlets and enjoying myself. I also enjoy investing my time in worth while causes, charities and non profits.

Working with my hands, I love building and fixing things. Cooking! I love to cook and I like cooking with other people when we click in the kitchen. Solving problems, I always seem to be able to think my way though problems and I like helping other people out with them. I am a great listener and have a strong shoulder for my friends to lean on when they need support.

Im always quiet and observant at first. I pick up on details because I am always watching.

People say I have a naturally grumpy look on my face, when I have a slight smile or my mood is neutral people think I am upset.

Food: Anything I cook, honestly I love to cook, I just dont always enjoy cooking for one, its a little sad. Steak, real BBQ (my standards have gone up really high on this since I got my own smoker!) Thai, Mexican, Italian, Sushi, Pub foods. I really enjoy exploring Portland for great happy hour spots, my current favorite is probably Park Kitchen. I just love food.

Shows: Band of brothers, Boardwalk empire, The wire, The IT crowd, Game of thrones, Family guy, South Park, Sons of anarchy, Frisky Dingo, Suits, White collar, AQTHF, Trailer park boys, Breaking bad. I also enjoy documentaries on many subjects.

Movies: So many favorites its hard to narrow it down! Band of brothers, The departed, Gangs of new york, Fight club, American history X, Inception, Silence of the lambs, Boondock saints, Old school, 300, Monty python and the holy grail.

Music: I enjoy most things that arent country or insanely hipster. My favorite genres would probably rap and rock. A few favorites would be Tool, Dave Mathews band, Eminem.

Books: To be honest I dont do as much reading as I would like to, or should do, but when I do its usually some non fiction, seeking knowledge about a certain subject.

Why Thai food containers always leak, no matter what.

The future, the past and who im with. What im going to make for dinner, what beer I want to try next and my plans for the weekend.

Trying new craft beer, at an event or party, usually kink related, Off having drinks with friends or staying in with someone special. Its sort of all over the place.

I cant fold a fitted sheet to save my life, but I like to pretend I know how to do everything.

I have successfully avoided having an iTunes account.

I dont use facebook. I know, not very private.

You want to be my muse and create art with me using rope and a camera.

You like bicycling and you want someone to ride with.

You are curious about kinky things and want some more information about whats going on in the local BDSM scene. You have any interest in being a rope bondage model, practice partner or play part or need a rigger for a bondage photo shoot you want to do.

You want to scope out a happy hour in Portland and want some company.

Or if you just want to chat about beer, bikes or BDSM.
