I'm pretty me. I'm actually very me. I'm about as myself as anyone can be.

**Please note: I've been keeping my profile disabled lately and generally only turning it on to amuse myself or friends with match ratings. Unfortunately I seem to be too busy with other facets of life to have time for a dating life. Boourns! I have switched my looking for to "New Friends" because of this**

I am an open minded and easy going guy. I like meeting new people. I'm pretty geeky/nerdy but I can hide it well.

I love to learn new languages. If I had all the time in the world I'd learn Arabic or Hindi, Tagalog, Celtic, Spanish, Portuguese and of course I'd learn to speak French or Japanese better. I'd also learn to play the violin/fiddle.

If I ever get the time I will be taking some RMT training. I love to make people feel good :)

I haven't drank a drop of alcohol in my life, or taken any drugs. This is a personal choice on my part and I'm quite happy with it, however I don't mind when other people do it!

I've taken swing, merengue, salsa and bachata lessons in the past and I enjoy these types of dances far more than club grinding/group dancing. I probably couldn't dance my way out of a paper bag anymore if I tried.

I'm highly amused that OkCupid is really one big social statistics experiment with dating functionality built in.

By day I'm a single daddy, and I work fulltime. You can just call me Mr. Responsibility.

I am friendly, and besides that I get comments about my eyes. Feel free to tell me if you've met me!

Activism on behalf of the oppressed. It seems I'm a closet feminist? I don't like labels but it does seem to fit the bill.

Depends on my options. Something social if I get a chance!
Board games or bars, both are fun!

I'm a little short to be a storm trooper.

I have no less than 4 board games and card games in the trunk of my car at all times. Settlers of Catan is one of them, and Battlestar Galactica: The board game just got added! (Yes I am a nerd)
