Does anyone else just go straight to the sex questions? There is little originality in the self-summaries, little to distinguish the many options out there.

And the other questions can be great indicators, too. I like knowing if someone prefers our flag over books. (Sorry, flag, a good book wins.) Also, if you believe creationism deserves equal footing with science, we're not a good match. (I taught biology for 7 years.)

Most important are the pictures. The sexiest thing is someone that is comfortable in their skin. You can see that right away, I think.

Like many people in their late 20s, early 30s, I started to gain weight. Myriad health issues. I solved my health issues by testing numerous diets to come up with one that works brilliantly for me. In turn, the fat went away and now I'm lean and a bit of a narcissist.

I like to think I'm more interesting than the other fellows.

Assessing the Columbus dating pool through the lens of OkCupid. Also working long hours. Raising a daughter. Playing soccer 5 times a week. Other things...

exactly five things. I will tell you about them if you ask!

I really wish I knew. Tell me, please.

I'm a voracious reader and music aficionado. I still have vinyl, lots of it, and the turntable still works. I have a 2002 Nissan with the last of the tape players. My unlabeled mix tapes include Panamanian boogaloo, Blue Note jazz, funky New Orleans music...

When it comes to food, I eat a high fat, distinctly un-vegetarian diet.

Movies--I like it when you make the decision.

coffee with heavy cream, tape cassettes, women with primal eyes, monkey bars, red wine, a tribe of sycophants...

how to explain the laws of motion in very succinct fashion.

playing indoor soccer.

formerly obese...I've included pics for the pure spectacle (and in the hope that I can reach out and influence someone).

you are an open book.
