I am a talented, generous, thoughtful, fun, experienced, worldly, pretty attractive guy - like everyone else on here, except that I'm not a 5'4" recluse with smeary glasses and a baseball cap. I am as sophisticated as anyone you are likely to meet, unless you are a flight attendant on a private jet to Davos, in which case - so? I travel well. I just received an email from a high school girlfriend, unaware of my participation on this site, who said: "you were always wildly intelligent and amazingly energetic" (OK; maybe she is STILL stalking me). I have high standards coupled with a relaxed attitude. I'm very visual. I won't be put off by your dark secrets or your finances, as long as you're not on parole or in rehab. To be interesting to me you must share my appetite and energy for life, and have something(s) to show for it - scars, or stacks of $100 bills, or wierd fungal infections (no; I don't), etc.; but see "parole", above. I will make great sacrifices for someone willing to give her all. I will romance you and wrap you in love and warmth.

Lot's of active stuff, focused on bringing good into the world. Making you smile, stretch like a cat and squeal with delight all qualify as bringing good to the world.

discovering and meeting new challenges. Figuring stuff out. Cooking. Handling people. Being a great friend. Vacationing. Pattern recognition. The responsibilities of citizenship. Friends say I always have the best stories, and lots of them.

In thought balloon: "Seems comfortable. Charming. Witty. Tall and fit. God, I'll bet he'd be fun in the sack."

(a) I like lots of things, mostly non-fiction, and biographies of unique people. (b) Herzog and Tarantino stand out. (c) See JJ-Girl's profile for a perfect-enough description of my taste in music. http://www.okcupid.com/profile/jj_girl/ She seems perfect-enough, too. (d) Been there; bring it. Spicy stuff.

Knowledgeable conversation; travel; opportunities and the energy to take advantage of them; music; clean sheets; toothbrush; Amazon account; strong coffee; a fun bedmate; chemicals; sunny beaches...are you counting?

Actually, a little time wondering where all the women with whom I used to discuss philosophy, art, etc. went. ("Where went all those women"??) Are we all just crushed by life?!

And a little time wondering about how seldom anyone mentions sex on here. I'm sure part of it is to avoid predators but, damn, girls, don't you enjoy interacting with another warm body? Without touches, smells, tastes, kisses, moans, etc. life would be pretty unliveable for me. I'm hoping that's mutual.

...just another night. I socialize, dine and do a (very) little clubbing with friends whenever the mood strikes.

I tear-up over great happiness and strong values. And I love quotes.

You are active and engaged, full of piss and vinegar, intensely aware, thrifty, brave, clean and irreverent.
