Hey. I value honesty and drive. I love learning and playing.

If I imagined myself as a film character it would be a mix of Tyler Durden's narrator and Daniel-Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans. Possibly self-congratulatory delusion, if you meet me you can decide.

I love talking about creativity and creating. I studied science and humanities to a degree level and I perform comedy. I have also practiced emotional listening for about 5 years.

This intense and impressive training has given me the rare ability to shut the fuck up about myself and listen to another person. I have mastered the subtle art of conversation; laughing about bullshit whilst having sweet conversations about dreams and hopes and learning.

I am intensely curious and if you present a filling challenge to me I will devour you.

Doing cool mysterious stuff that mankind was not meant to know. Re-organising my mind-closet in order to more clearly see the truth. Installing periscopes in Plato's cave.

Mainly doing comedy/storytelling gigs and other related things to that. Doing more physical stuff to support my performance and writing a lot.

Concision

I am very present, and I have a dirty saff-east/kentish accent which is unnecessarily deep and sexy.

If they accidently meet my mirror version then they notice I am a bearded lunatic.

Some women don't notice that I am handsome immediately, but then they do, and they say "Oh you are handsome, what a fine thing!"

That has happened too many times for me to have invented it in order to inject the appearance of difference and novelty into my profile.

I can't write everything here so I will just list random highlights. TL,DR version - I love Metal and all other music, read a lot and watch a lot of comedy. Interested in psychology, real psychology about how we work, not the cod psychology of Myers-Briggs.

Recently I read Richard Pryor's autobiography, listened to Henry Rollins talk about cynicism and I saw The Master.

I love films and books, the old classic sci-fi shorts had a huge effect on me growing up. Films like the Goonies woke up my sense of adventure as a kid, so watching something like Super 8 is weirdly nostalgic for me.

I explore a lot of new music all the time, getting into scandinavian neofolk and old funk tunes at the moment. My entry into music was through metal, mostly death and black metal, I have branched out into anything that turns me on. Trying to find more relaxed trip-hop to scratch that chillout itch.

I just bought Look Around You on DVD.

One of my favourite things is Promethea.

Awesome list-based questions! Give me more.

If you want to know where my antenna are focussed then see Brene Brown's TED talk on vulnerability. I used to find stuff like that inspiring and terrifying, now I find it an inspiring reminder.

Recursion.

This question means: What can we expect to do when meeting up?

I love doing stuff but I don't have to be doing stuff with people, I can just be. I like to meet up and hang out to get an impression and see if there's chemisty. What happens from there comes from the moment.

If you want the honest truth, I'm just a guy who found his passion and confidence late in life so is very open and accepting of others, with a strong sense of my own boundaries. I'm happily confident.

I am very honest so if you ask me what I think of you I will tell you the truth. I understand the responsibility of being honest, it's different from 'telling it like it is'. People in my life that care about me always know where they stand with me, and I am committed to understanding them and listening to their point of view.

Oh yeah, I am also really fucking funny. So funny that I don't need to write anything humorous in this profile to prove how funny I am. It's just true.

You want to meet up at see if we click. I'm not here to noodle on tests, I'm looking for more affection and surprise in my life from this site.

I like meeting random people so this is a perfect way to meet people I would not otherwise. I need more people to play boardgames with, go to museums and talk about writing/movies/music with.

Long-term relationship-wise, I am looking for a woman who is curious about the world and how people work, affectionate and with an intelligent sense of humour.

Really fucking funny.
