I am open-minded, enigmatic, and professional.

My Self-Summary

Hi, my name is Mark, and I'm kind, thoughtful, and open-minded. I try to follow the golden rule: do unto others as you would have donest unto you, or whatever.

I have had several relationships, the last one with a man I thought as "the one" until we broke up in July 2004.

It's taken a while but I'm ready to risk emotionally investing in a relationship again. And I'm always open to new friendships with easy-going people.

At the end of the day, I'm a moist robot like everyone else.

What I’m doing with my life

Since graduating from the University of Bristol with a degree in Computer Science in 1993, I have worked as a programmer and trainer in England and the U.S. including for Microsoft in Seattle.

During 2005 I studied screenwriting at Vancouver Film School. Although I have now returned to my IT career, during my spare time I am creating animated web TV episodes using Flash and writing an Oscar-winning feature screenplay. ;-)

I currently work freelance, teaching programming for companies in the UK, Europe and US. But now I'm getting close to 40, I'm thinking about what I want to do next.

So I am investigating the option of becoming a secondary school teacher. Probably ICT or maths or science. It all depends how I find teaching kids rather than adults. It's gonna be a challenge for sure.

I’m really good at

Teaching: I'm patient and a good listener so I can adapt my teaching style to the learner. And I'm passionate about teaching. It gives me great satisfaction to pass on skills and knowledge to others. There's nothing like seeing the lightbulb go on over someone's head.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm tall (6'2") and have sparkling blue eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

BOOKS Parliament of Whores by P.J. O'Rourke, Pedro and Me by Judd Winnick

TELEVISION: Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, Firefly, Lost, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Big Bang Theory, The Daily Show, The Office, The West Wing

MOVIES Jaws, Shelter, Run Lola Run, The Talented Mr Ripley, Trick, The Quiet American, V for Vendetta

MUSIC All kinds: blink 182, Alanis Morisette, Vertical Horizon, Eminem, Boys Like Girls, Nickelback, OneRepublic, Staind

FOODS Everything! I have a Homer-esque relationship with food (funny-Homer, not tragic-Greek-Homer): mmmmmm! Except triffle and boiled/fried eggs (together or separately)

The six things I could never do without

1) family and friends 2) fast Internet connection + laptop 3) health 4) pen and paper 5) passport 6) imagination

I spend a lot of time thinking about

1) the meaning of life, 2) sexual fantasies, 3) how to commit the perfect crime, 4) nose-bleed-causing TV shows

On a typical Friday night I am

Attending a writer's group meeting, drinking in a pub with friends, or snuggled on my sofa watching a film or TV with a bottle of Pinot Noir. It would be nice to have someone to share it with. ;-)

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

When I was a kid, I was never affected by emotional scenes in movies (probably suppressing my "gay" emotions). But after coming out in my late 20s, I saw The Day of the Dolphin (awesome 70s thriller) and cried. Ever since, I respond as filmmakers intend and I now feel like a real member of the human race. (Mostly.)

You should message me if

I like men who are passionate about the things they enjoy because I like learning new things, regardless of the topic.

If you like travelling we'll get on well. I like to explore the world and see how different cultures handle common social issues. You should be confident in yourself and your beliefs, but be open to new ideas.

Physically I like the boy-next-door type. Not too overweight or too skinny. As for hair/eye/skin colour: I really don't care. I like men who have a wholesome, boyish face that at the same time hints at a cheeky rebellious side.

I find tattoos and piercing sexy (I love kissing guys with pierced tongues), but don't have any myself.
