I love reading and culture, and enjoy going to plays, concerts (usually classical), and art. I love to travel, go out for good food, [cooking] dinners at home, and movies.
I'm a little bit of a homebody - but I enjoy going out and having a good time. I've got great friends, and would do almost anything for a friend in need.

Living la vida loca! Well, not exactly - I've got a great job, and great friends, but it's not quite the crazy life of song. I'm enjoying going to great dinners, traveling, taking pictures, seeing new things, and experiencing life.

I'm very good at seeing patterns, and also very empathetic. Happily, I'm also wonderfully loyal to my friends, and I'm really good at being a friend. I'm considerate, witty, and some people really think I've got a great sense of humor. I'm also adaptable, and willing to go with the flow.

Most people tend to notice my eyes, my intelligence, and the fact that I look familiar to them (I've been told that I look vaguely like Brendan Fraser). Once they get to know me a little better, they usually think that I'm a pretty neat person.

My favorite books are easy - pulp fiction (film noir style detective novels), and anything by David Drake (Science Fiction and Fantasy genre). Other than those, I love mysteries, science fiction, and anything really well written, although I try to avoid biographies. Movies are a mixed bag - I like the classics (Casablanca is fabulous), comedies (including romantic comedies), zombie films, and action films. I also have an incredibly soft spot in my heart for really bad films - b movies are the funniest things to watch (and sometimes make fun of!)
I adore food - great restaurants show me what can be done with food, and I enjoy partaking. One of the worst things about being single is it's hard to find people to go to great restaurants with me, and dining out is way more fun with great company.

Friendship, love, romance, kind words, good food, great books, and companionship. Looking at the list I just typed, I realize that most of them go together better than they do alone - it's much better to spend an evening with a good friend, reading together, than it is to spend it alone, even with the same book. Friends are the spice that make life so much more worthwhile.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the people around me, or just random things that catch my fancy. It's fun to people-watch, but more fun if you make up entire backstories to go along with what you see. I'm fascinated by the way things work, and I pretty much am willing to learn anything that I can.

Either going out to dinner with friends, reading a book, watching a movie, or working on a project of some sort. Sometimes I go hiking or to the gym, other times I go see a movie with friends, occasionally I get together and play board games of all things. Usually, it's something that is as far as possible from anything I work with during the week.

I'm very accepting of the failures of others, but refuse to allow myself the luxury of failing.

You are looking for a smart, loving, compassionate man, and know who you are. Ideally, you'd have some direction in your life, and be willing to share your life with me.
