My self-summary
I eat. I write. I travel. And I’m hungry for more.

I love Joy Division, Depeche Mode & James Brown. I love Bukowski. And his short sentences. I love afrobeat, gypsy music and food. Probably more than you.

I've been on 23 airplanes, 7 countries and 3 continents in the past year. My Spanish and French are still terrible, but I'd love to practice with you.

I like being an immigrant.

Not that I love my own people that much. It’s that I love being an outsider. It makes us stronger. Immigrant as the original punk.

I'm old enough to choose the classic Ray Bans in tortoise instead of the new ones in hot pink. And young enough to tell you what I think. I like poetry. But I have a love/hate relationship with artists. And a love/hate relationship with business people. By extension, I have a love love/hate relationship with myself. Probably for the best - it makes for better writing.

Oh. And I like you :)
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a super busy, slightly neurotic entrepreneur. I just sold the company that I spent the last 3 years building. I'm taking the time to explore, learn, be curious and grow.

And maybe that involves dating you.

I recently made the leap from heavy weight lifter to yogi and I'm thrilled about it. I have the flexibility of a #2 pencil. My yoga teacher gave me a special child's pose because I can't bend my knees all the way.

I live a drama free lifestyle. Minimum bullshit, all around. Smiles welcome.

...oh & breeding unicorns.
I’m really good at
Writing, eating, cooking, traveling, creating, connecting and driving myself nuts. I have a near masochistic obsession with pushing my comfort zones. And no, that doesn't mean you can f**k me with a strap on.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm ethnically ambiguous. Coincidentally, I find ethnically ambiguous women very attractive - although there's nothing wrong with a sexy purebred either.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Shows: Bourdaine. Vice. Joe Rogan. The Wire. TED. South Park. Archer. Californication. Parks & Recreation. This American Life. UFC (often for the fighters' stories more than the fights themselves)

Movies: Documentaries. Tarantino.

Books: Bukowski. Ginsberg. Frey. Freakanomics. Design/tech/innovation books.

Music: Funk, Soul, Disco, House, Electronica, Bossa Nova, Gypsy Music, World Music, New Wave, Post Punk, Punk Punk. It has to have soul. I don't care what kind or where from, but there needs to be something honest behind it.

FOOD: I like creating food recommendation maps for out of towners. I have an outstanding track record doing this.

I like my wine red and full bodied or bubbly and very-dry.
The six things I could never do without
My brain
Vision
Beautiful things
Heros
Love
Progress
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What's next.

And butts.
On a typical Friday night I am
Music, whisky & dancing. Maybe you? And some more whisky.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I don't keep secrets.

I once attempted to perform a medical procedure on myself when I was 8. This story makes lots of friends at parties - for better or worse.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 22–35
  • Near me
  • For new friends, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
- You have a supernova smile.
- You can do incredible things with your hips on a dance floor.
- You are comfortable with your self and your body.
- You are an expert at finding your way to the bottom of a bottle of wine.
- You appreciate decent banter and flirting.
- You understand the paradox of choice this site creates and are more interested in meeting humans (namely, me), than mentally masturbating to them.
- You give a shit about _something_.
- You are trustworthy and keep your word.
- You think we'll have more adventures together than apart.

Or you think I'm damn sexy.

You should NOT message me if
1. You are shopping for a husband. I will not be your husband.
2. You have no sense of humor.
3. You are easily offended. I'm not PG-13.
4. You're incapable of enjoying now, with the people that you're with.
5. You're constantly looking for what's wrong instead of appreciating what's right.
6. Special mention: Cats. They kill me. Bad. Not a deal breaker, but suboptimal.

DISCLAIMER: I am _super_ busy and don't check this thing often. If you don't hear from me, don't hesitate to bug me twice.

REQUEST: Please do us both a huge favor and read my whole profile and tell me what caught your eye. I will be far more inclined to respond than the local favorite of "Hey, whatsup?" Unless it's, "hey, whatsup, I need your body." That's different.
