Do you state on your profile that you're seeking an attractive, intelligent, physically healthy partner? What do those mean? Who certifies those qualities and by what standard of measure? If your goal is to acquire a partner in friendship/life/crime, then you need to sufficiently define the criteria that such a person could hold themselves up to so they can self-filter. Remaining so vague in concept is like saying, "I enjoy pleasant things more than the alternatives."

I like the difficult, stubborn, ugly, and vile trolls of human beings whose own mother has difficulty listening to on account of those persons' own determination to be self-supporting adults.

But then again, this could all be a dream, and I might be wasting my time, trying to stand out as an individual amongst the fog of my own imagined world. The fact that I've bothered to type this out is also absurd because if I am dreaming, then why would I bother pointing that possibility out further than my own internal monologue...

Oh Fooey! If it's futile, then it certainly can't hurt to have mentioned that!

A little about who I am by where I've come from:

During the Winter of 07, I finished school and acquired a job which does not make me feel like a prostitute for the bureaucracy.

I'm a bit of a hermit; I've got the beard and a misanthropic outlook, so all I need to do is find a nice cave to settle down in and start growing potatoes.

My motto in life is "Play with it until it breaks, then fix it."

Video games are awesome even though I'm prone to getting shot in the head. Games taught me about finances and stress management. I may lose a lot and refuse to practice chess against the computer, but I enjoy a relaxed game with a human.

I don't go to bars or clubs because OH MY GOD, I CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC BECAUSE IT'S TOO LOUD!

I sometimes wear my headphones in the grocery store and am willing to strut to a good beat. But I always pull my headphones off to be kind to clerks.

Everyone needs to remember to be nice to clerks.

I have my Bachelor's of Science in Math. Go ahead and point. I'm also used to "Ew! Math, The Devil!" I understand and can quickly teach you the geometry behind the Hoberman Sphere (a plastic transforming toy) which I built my own out of popsicle sticks a few years ago.

I fix Macintosh computers at same university I graduated from. I love to tinker and to try to make this or that easier with 4 hours research and breaking most of it along the way until my problem is solved by brute force.

... entertaining myself. Although, that statement was originally lobbed at me as a complaint, and I never quite got it.

I have not thought the words "I am bored" in a very long time. Typically when I hear people say that or "Pay attention to me" they don't mean what they say. Generally, those statements mean "Entertain me" or "Dance, monkey-boy. Dance!"

I'm humanoid, over six foot tall, have a beard, and appear to be in possession of an XY chromosome pair. Although, that last point was sometimes mistaken when I was still clerking.

I do this thing where I purposely mishear people, even when they repeat it clearly to me and making eye contact. It makes a nice test to see if someone is conversing or lecturing.

I love going down the rabbit hole on some half-forgotten tangent.

This list is not meant to be complete, but demonstrative of range.

Fight Club and Huck Finn.

The Matrix and Barry Lyndon.

The Beatles and The Chemical Brothers.

Chili and Chocolate Tofu Pie. (Both are worth a nod to Alton Brown)

Television: The Venture Brothers, MST3k, and Big Brother

Radio: NPR and Kidd Kraddick

Whatever the cause of material existence is.

A third generation star or whatever convincing theory that explains the origin of Sol.

Earth, Luna, et al.

Organic compounds.

Intelligence.

Something that doesn't make sense.

... nothing of much consequence.

... the nature of the universe. 42, et al.

... the language of anything. The only boundary to understanding something is setting out a concrete language. The transition point between art and math is the application of science.

... how to get around the system. Sometimes that means fixing a problem, and others it means basic subversion.

... video games, UNIX, and trying to think of a third thing to invoke an Oxford Comma in lists.

... haxoring and otherwise goofing around with my üßéR-1337 Mac/Unix skillz. And by that, i mean that I think "chown -R us /*base" is funny. Also, the BSD man page for "yes" is amusing.

... asleep on the futon because I've built up a sleep debt over the work week.

... having shoe-string potatoes and either a hamburger or Monte Cristo for dinner.

If you are the easily upset kind, be wary of the contents of a lonely, male computer-nerd's hard drives. Although if you're into that sort of stuff, I'll point it all out.

... you read this far and can accept that statements are made without the expectation of exclusion. Differences are inevitable, and open-minded challengers are invited.

... you are somewhat misanthropic. Sarcasm is also acceptable.

... you are willing to pick up a controller and team up with me to fight the space aliens or floating geometric shapes.

... you aren't bothered by Math, the Sciences, or how they were taught to you by someone else years ago. I won't expect you to give proof that the Real Numbers are the Only Complete Ordered Field up to Homomorphism, but it would be fun if you can.

... you like having conversations with random people online, preferably within a reasonable driving distance.
