I guess I can be a stereotypical "nice guy". Cliché, I know, but it's true. I'm accommodating. I'm having the most fun when I'm sharing something with the person I'm with that they enjoy. I do like sharing the things that I like too, but most of that is pretty geeky stuff that you don't have to be into. But I'm not a pushover, I'm just perfectly comfortable with a woman who likes to take the lead.

I own a house (a duplex), work at a fairly uninteresting tech job that nonetheless pays well and affords me a disposable income to get random interesting stuff for the house. I take my dog on 2 vigorous walks a day, and I'm looking for someone who will want to do other interesting stuff with me that I didn't want to do by myself.

Solving problems and giving people advice. Making people laugh, usually in spite of themselves. Picking out quality ingredients and products. Judging color patterns and what clothes work on a person, though I usually make bold and loud choices. Katamari Damancy.

And I'm becoming increasingly adept at cooking and baking.

People don’t generally notice me. I’m fairly unassuming until after you’ve noticed me and talked to me for a bit. If I’m out with a friend, generally I’m more noticeable because I’m doing something silly to try to entertain them, then you might notice me doing a little dance for no reason.

Books: Stuff that makes me laugh. Comics

Movies: Comedies, action movies, all sorts really, and heart-felt romance when I'm in the mood. Got a soft spot for all sorts of animation.

TV shows: Futurama, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, Doctor Who (just started the 11th Doctor eps), Louie, Dexter, Walking Dead, How I Met Your Mother, Community, 30 Rock, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Arrested Development, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Deadwood, The Muppet Show, The Critic, The Powerpuff Girls, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Music: I don't buy or listen to a lot of music, TV is usually my background noise instead. When I do listen, I gravitate towards rock, modern and classic, but I like most everything from rap and hip-hop to pop and even dance. And old school funk, gotta love it. Not a big fan of country, a little goes a long way for me, and I just can't listen to the Dave Matthews Band. But I can get into almost anything else.

Food: I've been learning to cook little by little the past few years. I take a few shortcuts like those microwave-in-the-bag vegetables, but I always use quality ingredients when it counts. The past few weeks I've grilled up a few nice steaks, made chicken enchiladas, beef stir-fry, pulled pork tacos, a nice egg casserole for breakfasts, and I'm getting better at omelets. I love all kinds of sweets and I bake cookies occasionally, but I usually buy instead of make to treat myself. I love junk food, cheesesteaks and cheeseburgers most of all, but I also like dressing nice and going out to a quality restaurant. Big fan of Stephen Starr’s group of restaurants.

Love, affection, and someone to supply it most of all, followed closely by air conditioning, an internet capable smartphone, and premium toilet paper.

How to get my inner monologue to be quiet so I can enjoy a little peace. How to get enough people to come over to my house at the same time for a decent game of Cards Against Humanity. What I’m going to eat now that I make real food instead of living off frozen fare.

One of my two best friends is my ex-girlfriend. We eventually decided that we liked each other a lot but we weren't romantically compatible.

If you don't look through sites like these like you're ordering a pizza, hoping to find somebody with every single little thing you're looking for. It can get a tad unrealistic for some. But please do if you also scan through these profiles, hoping each one you see might just be the last one you’ll ever have to look at.

If you know how to have fun like a kid and have a conversation like an adult.

If you think the concept of a post-date comment card is appealing rather than offensive. Not that I have one to hand out. Yet...

If you think going indoor rock climbing, having a Nerf gun shootout, getting a tattoo, or just cuddling under a blanket with some Netflix all sound like a nice way to spend an afternoon.

And if you smoke a tiny little bit, I’m going to relentlessly bug you to quit. If you smoke a lot, I wish you luck, but I’ve been around enough smokers in my past to know it’s not something I want to deal with.
