I have a very active mind and am always thinking outside of the box. I have an appreciation for a wide variety of artistic forms, though I myself am not particularly artistic. While I may have certain normative qualities, I identify as queer and appreciate all kinds of weird shit. I'm pretty much right in the middle on the introvert/extrovert scale. I enjoy nights in with close friends as much as crazy nights out on the town.

I am a city boy at heart having spent my formative years in New York. I also couldn't live without ready access to nature. I've been in Seattle for 2 1/2 years, and I love the balance here

Working on my PhD and hopefully I'll be able to find a job as a history professor when that's finished.

Making conversation, teaching, swimming, playing tour guide for visitors, kissing, cuddling

My orange hair. I've also been receiving a lot compliments on my facial hair lately. My beard is currently more robust than my profile pic would indicate.

I don't have a car

You want to. I'm not necessarily just looking for people to date. I'm always down to meet new, interesting people
