Hi! I'm a British guy who's been living in San Francisco for three years now. I moved here from Glasgow, Scotland, but am originally from Wales. I'm in a long-term poly relationship with the wonderful Alexistheharper and I'm hoping to meet some awesome people.

I am INTJ, heavy on the N and T.

I remember seeing San Francisco described somewhere as a haven for techy minded folk who like to get creative on the weekends. For better or worse, that pretty much sums me up. When I'm not working at my tech job I spend my time making music, taking photos (Flickr page) and experiencing the awesomeness of humanity that exists in this city.

I am a devoted city dweller, with a deep love for both San Francisco and London. I love hiking and camping in deserts and mountains but I spend the majority of my time in cities as I need to be around people and culture and creativity. Also, 24 hour diners.

I try to stay focused on improving myself, but am often distracted by opportunities to be decadent :)

Techy stuff- coding, equations and so forth. Keeps me in 35mm film, guitar strings and pocky.

I look serious but I'm actually not at all. It usually takes people a while to figure that out. Alcohol usually helps.

These things are far more interesting as a snapshot rather than a life-to-date.

Current listening: Cheap Girls, The Menzingers, Patrick Wolf, Neutral Milk Hotel, Spiritualized, Amanda Palmer, Alice in Chains

Current reading: Days of War, Nights of Love by CrimethInc collective, The Shallows by Nicholas Carr, The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs

Current shows: working through all five seasons of Angel, and re-watching the Firefly,

Current food: Pescetarianism seems to be working out pretty well for me so far

My partner! <3

Human relationships. We are increasingly isolated from each other and an over-reliance on technology to communicate makes it worse. (Yes, I am aware of the irony in writing this on a dating website profile.) People who like to hug are awesome.

Public transportation. If I can't get somewhere without driving I probably wont bother, although I'm very good at getting places most people wouldn't even consider going to without a car. This sort of attitude was a lot easier to have when I lived in Europe, but I persist anyway.

My bike! Complementary to the above, and with the benefit that you can ride around through beautiful scenery just for the hell of it, or head from party to party with a group of friends without worrying when the last bus home is.

Good weather, at least for some of the year. This was one thing that really improved when I moved to California!

The means and ability to travel. I will never understand people who don't use their vacation time because they can't think of where to go.

The USA. A very strange country this is.

What I actually want out of life. I like working in engineering but the corporate work environment in America sucks. I realize I need to find some sort of work that fulfills me intellectually but is less mind-numbingly corporate.

Fridays are not big nights for me, I usually use the time to wind down and recover from a week of work. Often that means watching a movie with a loved one or going for a drink at a local bar. Saturday nights are a whole different thing.

You think I'm cute, and you're okay with the fact that I already have a partner.

You're willing to go some place for a coffee to see if we hit it off. There are so many nuances that are missed if you only communicate with people via a computer.

You want to take photos (or have photos taken of you), make music, argue about music, go to shows, go to dive bars, go cycling...

You just wanna hang out.
