Edit: First, I'm a full time student, and no job yet this summer... wish me luck. I hate applying for jobs, it's like work... without the pay. XD

"Me Superman!" - The Iron Giant! I'm currently editing my profile... my other profile is at (deleted) but it doesn't have a recent picture yet... I really need to finish this one.

What follows is a (modified)copy. P.S. I'm 5'10 if it matters to you. Green eyes.

I'm honest (to a fault), not rich (but if it's heavily in debt due to college you're looking for, I'm your man), and I don't drive(but I can crash ANYTHING!). Public transportation works in a pinch. I'm also a nerd and many nerd-ly/geekly things appeal to me.

The MUTUAL MATCH, or whatever they call it, thing is kinda annoying... I rate random people until I happen to get around to the person who rated me... it might leave people with tons of false leads... especially since I rate women who I think like me more positively(I also react more positively to them). So... if you like me... send me a message!

Yay... you clicked here! My life is compleet... :P

If you're from Charlotte... welcome to one of the top 10 worst cities for singles! But don't worry, your search is over... maybe! If you're not from Charlotte, sorry... I've already tried the 'fall in love with someone so far away you'll never see them' thing, and it's fun... don't get me wrong... there's nothing like falling in love... it's falling out of it that's the real *****! I'd like to just... I don't know... stay there.

I've been on personal ad sites for a while and I've learned... I'm absolutely the last person you should listen to about who I am. I tend to say I'm broke (thrifty and don't have much spare money)... and don't have a car... and list other problems first thing. (All true btw) Nine times out of ten I never even get to my good qualities. (I was so tempted to stop here... so very tempted, but the profile spontaneously ending like this just isn't me). I'm a nice guy... who's been corrupted just a bit(edit: too much)... trying to regain what he lost. I like to make people laugh... and whenever there's an opportunity I try to lighten the mood. Disclaimer: Quality of humor may vary by situation, sense of humor of the one recognizing the joke, energy level, and phase of the moon. I'm not terribly worried about being broke or car-less. It's easier to trust that a woman will take you for richer or poorer when she met you at 'poorer'. Finally, I've seen what money does to people... it's not pretty. Disclaimer: This is not a guarantee that the richer will ever happen. In fact, it's statistically unlikely considering my future job (computer programmer)(update: and the economy XD, good luck all you new college grad's).

The rest of this section is a prototype... feedback appreciated. The typical woman as seen on one site. High Self Confidence Family Oriented Low Self Control (this one worries me a little... but explains a lot) High openness (well... makes sense if you're really putting yourself out there). High easygoingness, etc. It wasn't working, so now I'm here, where people aren't boilerplates!

Amusingly... on another site(POF, it's too hookup-ey), a woman I consider very attractive has an average vote of between 5.77 from the 18-25 range. And yet a woman I don't consider attractive has an average of 4.47 This actually makes sense as... average is really attractive. Let me explain. What you accept as normal is the average of every face you've ever seen in your lifetime. Your definition of beauty also falls in along this line. If you average the faces of thousands of women you end up with a picture that most men would consider extremely attractive. So... average is beautiful. In terms of looks the fewer standard deviations from mean is better... but... if you actually understood that, don't worry about it, you get a pass(I value intelligence).

Wow... still reading... okay... some important stuff.

Listen, I get a lot of crap from women online. Not that I mind... it's fun failing their little tests(fun in person too). I just have one thing to say to all of you... you throw all this out and the guys you don't want... the ones who are desperate... they take it and they still keep coming. The guys you do want, however, the guys who have options... choices... the whole human beings... they don't take it. It seems like you might be tossing out the baby with the bathwater.

To be completely honest... I'm a nice guy... and I (almost) always act like it. I'm interested in what you have to say and who you are even if I'm not interested in you romantically. So... don't reel in the line till I've taken the bait. And that might be the only tip I give you. Send me a message!

I'm currently working towards a college degree at UNCC.

And as of this moment, I'm overdosing on vitamin C to kill a cold. (yay me!)

Computers, most math (though Differential Equations has me doubting this!!![update:passed]), and other generally nerdly pursuits. Unfortunately I'm not quite good enough in Japanese to answer the questions in it, but that's one of my goals for this year.

I'm full of energy... and generally hyperactive. I'm also a little weird. Like... "Check for a zipper that might be a human suit" type weird. Not to mention odd body language, although that's noticed more subconsciously.

God, Air, Food, Water, Shelter, Computer(Anime almost made it... almost). No... nix that... I can live without food... randomness... strange coincidences... those moments are what I can't live without. I should probably swap out Computer for 'Other People... I'm an introvert... but I need at least some social interaction, usually making one or two people laugh a day (You don't realize how much you miss it until you don't do it one day).
Finally, I should mention... You know... God invented the Sims... of course... 'The Garden' came first, but the concept was the same. A small group of people interact and you watch them, move stuff around... put a fruit tree up and tell them not to eat it, etc.

Life, My future, people, the world.

Update: Okay, this one's going to be weird. I talk to people a lot, this makes me 'seem' like an extrovert, but I'm not. My interactions with people are generally... I would be perfectly happy in the garden of eden where there were two people... I'd bitch about not having anywhere to plug in my laptop, but the garden would be fine. I might also try to make make-shift solar cells from sand... but the garden would be fine. Why? Because I'm really an introvert... when I was younger I would lock myself in my room and play videogames, even now I don't really feel compelled to form and/or maintain friendships, though I've decided to do so recently because I want some real friends and I miss the one I've had.

Playing Dungeons and Dragons... or videogames at a group at school. Or, more lately, sleeping to recover from the week. XD

Pending, there's a lot, and only so much that should be put here... any suggestions?.
I used to live in my own little world inside my imagination. My imagination is still so very vivid... I wish I could share it... but I chose reality.
Sometimes it bugs me when a woman holds the door for me, it really bugs me when I realize it didn't bug me that I wasn't holding the door for her. I've been carrying around too many bags and it happens too often.
I tell pretty much every woman that I'm broke(I have 3 profiles on 3 sites that say so). Some women think I'm trying to leech, but the truth is that I'd rather have a woman accept me as I am, broke and all. I've actually avoided succeeding (and learning to drive) to a certain extent because of that. (Nobody's perfect and I'll fix it eventually). It's much easier than sorting out the bad ones later, and it saves us both time so we can each look for our Mr/Mrs. Right.
But, it's generally a bad idea. We're all humans, and all flawed, and we look for what we want. So few stick around to see the gold at the bottom of a murky lake. I should probably pick a strategy that's less like jumping out and yelling, "boo".

You're interested.

You aren't intending a long distance relationship... nobody from australia, please (I think... long distance relationships are just a fear of commitment and a way to avoid facing that fear).
