My self-summary
Ambitious man seeking equally ambitious woman so that we can support each other in doing incredible things together.

I'm a huge fan of Andy Warhol, a great cook, and when I'm not at my day job, I'm at the gym, out with friends, or kicking ass as part of the city's best pub trivia team. Ideally you've got your own life that's going amazing too. If I can make your life even better, and you can make my life even better... why shouldn't we pursue that?

I love travel, and I typically spend 6-8 weeks a year out of town... more than a couple of which you'd be welcome to join me for. I try to visit at least one new place every year, and I'm at 20 countries so far! In no particular order, my favorite cities in the world are Nice, Vienna, and Seattle.

My taste in women leans towards good fashion sense, a sharp sense of humour, and a combination of reckless extroversion and thoughtful conversation. If you think you fit the bill, I'd love to hear from you.
What I’m doing with my life
I work at one of Canada's fastest growing startups, which is long hours but I'm surrounded by brilliant people doing incredible things. For fun, I do stand-up comedy and karaoke - when you're performing and you get a positive reaction from the crowd... it's the best drug there is.
I’m really good at
Board games and keeping my cool under pressure. I also have been told that I have a great phone voice.
The first things people usually notice about me
I smell good. I've got a bit of a weakness for fancy cologne, but I know enough to not overdo it or say things like "base notes" in conversation.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I devour non-fiction, focusing mostly on the intersection of human interaction, business, and geography. The best way to find out what I'm reading is to ask.

As for movies... The Incredibles, Shaun of the Dead, High Fidelity, The Rock, Requiem For A Dream, Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, Donnie Darko, Zoolander, Mulholland Drive, Die Hard, Speed, Office Space.

My favorite TV shows: Mad Men, Community, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Girls, Futurama, Archer.

My favorite bands: Beck, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Go! Team, The New Pornographers, Maximo Park, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens.
The six things I could never do without
Supportive friends, hot meals, cold drinks, good music, my passport, at least one of my notepads.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How people interact, and how that interaction is increasingly becoming mediated and shaped by technology. Online dating is one example - this isn't really how people met as recently as 10 years ago. It's fascinating to think about how different features and options change how people do the whole courtship thing in the 21st Century, and how unintended or unexpected behaviour can result from the decisions on what features to include or not.

This is all to say that I think OkTrends is fucking awesome.
On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging out with coworkers early on, quiet dinner in the middle, karaoke or dancing with friends later. Sometimes karaoke WHILE dancing if it gets crazy.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I cry during movies. And not just Pixar movies.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 19–35
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For long-term dating, short-term dating
You should message me if
You're intelligent, funny, and like karaoke. If you're going to challenge me to reach my potential. Or if you'd like to grab a drink sometime. That works too.
