My self-summary
Howdy! My name is Dallas Walker, I'm originally from Texas, currently in Philadelphia, I'm a professional Chef, and an amateur life liver.

In a discussion with a very good friend of mine, I described myself, at worst, as a cook, an awkward dancer, a gamer, and a guy in limbo between realism and idealism. He trivialized the notion and said I could just as easily be called an energetic, well dressed man who can cook well, is good with his hands, has a wise mind, an old soul, and a young heart. If someone somewhere in the middle of those two analysis seems interesting, I'm your guy.

I'm starting to become of the opinion that this site, while great for meeting people with a bit more quality and consistency than random strangers out in the wild, some of the mystique is lost in translation. I mean to say, we all put ourselves out here to be viewed by our peers like pieces of meat and when you finally connect and meet someone, you already tend to know half the things one usually talks about upon first encountering one another. So yeah, I'm an honest guy. I cook, I dance, I talk, and I love to experience everything life has to offer with the exception of hard drugs, and anything more illegal than breaking into abandoned property. Anything else? You'll have to figure that out yourself.

ESTJ

Enthusiastically LGBTQAXYZN7 Friendly. I hate that Feminist has to be a thing that I deliberately and outwardly identify as.
What I’m doing with my life
I currently work at a private cricket club in Ardmore for a bunch of rich people who don't understand what good food is.

I swing dance on Mondays and Tuesdays (and sometimes on the weekend in NYC) with the local Philly community. Come have fun with us (seriously, you laugh or are scared of looking silly but it's an amazing time)? www.lindyandblues.com

Working on a profession transfer right now and getting the logistics in my life worked out so I can have more time to live the life I want.
I’m really good at
- Cooking. Reeeeealllly good at cooking, so that goes first. Seriously. Unless it's like some new-age science-driven gastronomic shit that just got published a year ago (I'm looking at you, Modernist Cuisine), I can probably do it with very little study.

- Teamwork
- Problem Solving. I'm not always the fastest, but I'm usually right.
- LAN Parties, PC building
- Pretty much any outdoor activity. Name one; I like it. Yes, especially that one.
- Eating
- Dancing
The first things people usually notice about me
You tell me?

Some adjectives/phrases I hear ascribed to me regularly: Adorable, genuine, honest, real, weird, REALLY nerdy, introspective, methodical.

A friend of mine recently paid me the compliment "You're like having an awesome gay best friend, except we get to have sex."
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Oh jeeze. The big one.

Food = Everything. Jkjk but srsly tho guise my motto is to try anything five times. By the time you get to five you're gonna start to acquire a taste or something. It's kinda my job so yeah. Here's a few for fun: Okra, Dr. Pepper, Goat cheese. Why do all of these things sound better in my head when I put MOTHERFUCKING in front of them? You wanna see me geek out? Talk food.

Movies: Anything Quentin Tarantino, Fight Club, Ghost in the Shell, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Scott Pilgrim, Science of Sleep, Schindler's List, Virgin Suicides, Sunshine.

Television: I'm not much of a TV guy anymore, but there are a few specific shows I download on my PC. IRON CHEF JAPANESE (I worked with Morimoto once!), Anthony Bourdain, Adventure Time, The Walking Dead, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Big Love, Band of Brothers, Top Gear, Mad Men.

Books!: I haven't read much lately, but I used to be an apocalyptic force of literary consumption back in High School. The Time Traveler's Wife (don't you fucking laugh), The Drizzt Series. I read a ton of professional cooking technical manuals/cookbooks. Modernist Cuisine, Under Pressure, stuff like that.

Music...ahhhhhh I'm open to basically any genre as long as the lyrics don't interfere with the music. Genres like Jazz (Big Band Era) and Electronica (Trance, Downtempo, Dubstep, Lo-fi, House, specifically) are great examples of this. The more lyric-centric the genre, the less I listen to it, although I have my favourite artists and songs from every genre just the same. I can really get into some hip hop if the beat is good and the artist shuts their god damned mouth about urban culture and either just goes for the groove or talks about legitimately interesting subject matter (Nujabes, I'm looking at you, rest in peace).
The six things I could never do without
- Good food.
- Really fracking good hugs.
- Internet. It was a sizable moral victory to have made it to number three without having listed this yet.
- Dancing. It's frightening when I think and realize how quickly Blues and Lindy have taken over my life and how important they are to me now. It's kinda my drug. If you aren't interested in at least *trying* to come dance with me, I dunno if we'd be able to work something out.
- Cats. If you have a cat(s), you should let me see them :)
- People. I fucking love all of you wonderful human beings.
- Dr. Pepper. Because Texas.

To be honest I have very few solid needs in life; I live a very simple existence, and my goals in life are not expensive or lofty, they just require time and effort (and a little bit of money, but what doesn't?) That's all I really can't live without, that's pretty good, right?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Having thought-provoking conversations with people. Every time I have a conversation with someone I'm able to work out my feelings and beliefs a bit clearer, and solidify my relationship with them in the process. Yay communication!

Thinking Less.
Thinking Faster.
Reading More.
Meeting people.
Organizing.
Working out/Stretching.
Winning.
Gender Roles.
On a typical Friday night I am
Getting my ass kicked behind a stainless steel counter top standing in 120 degree heat next to a 750 degree grill with 20 orders hanging in front of me.

Now if you want to get meta and ask what I do on *my* Friday Night (Monday Evening-ish), I'm out blues dancing, doing karaoke, eating gelato, or just walkin' around and exploring the city :)

Hanging out with you?
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I will readily divulge any possible piece of information anyone would ever be interested in about me. The caveat is, you gotta ask it yourself ;)

I'm pretty damned nerdy. We're talkin' king of the nerds shit here folks. There are sports fans, then there are sports nerds that play fantasy football. Then there are nerds that watch professional Starcraft, and THEN there are NERDS that play fantasy Starcraft teams. I am in that category. Yes that is a thing that exists. Come at me, bro.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 19–26
  • Near me
  • For new friends, short-term dating, activity partners, long-distance penpals, casual sex
You should message me if
You can write a message longer than 2 sentences. I like to talk, and I like to be talked to. Seriously lol women complain about guys only being like 'hey', or 'wuts up gurl' on this site, but it happens to me all the time too. Please, please, do not waste your time. Or would that be...waste more time forming a conversation? I dunno, dude.

You're available to hang out sometime in the Philly area, or maybe for an early lunch some other time before work!

You are open and can cut through the bullshit to get to who you really are as a person.

You think this is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk7_dXIKt0Y
