FTM seeking FTMs, genderqueers, men, butches, or generally open, flexible people. I'm pretty equal-opportunity when it comes to the sex and/or gender of my partner, although I lean towards androsexual.

Interests include vodka, 1930s horror movies, 1980s hardcore bands, companion animals, hiking, wildlife (esp. coyotes and skunks), Chuck Berry, Dolly Parton, the Stooges, and natural bodies of water. Strengths include dry wit, general awkwardness, and ability to change tires. Weaknesses include vodka. Sadly, those with severe cat allergies need not apply. Watch out--my hillbilly genes tend to surface unexpectedly.
