Intelligence, wit, maturity, compassion -- very sexy. And throw in some awkward nerdiness for good measure.

Here are just a few of my interests: nature, mindfulness, happiness and helping others find happiness, psychology, making others laugh, staying fit, authentic conversation, logic, emotions, foreign languages, seeking the meaning of life, card games, infinite possibilities.

I have a pretty keen sense of irony and I enjoy playful banter. At the same time, I enjoy talking with kind, earnest people. If you live for wordplay and the next rimshot (ba-dum-bum), we should get along fine. I'm looking for someone who is in touch themselves physically and emotionally -- someone to compliment me. And if you happen to complement me, all the better! Don't be afraid to massage me. And if you're feeling up to it, you can message me as well.

If you frequently use words like "stupid" or "loser" to describe others, we're probably not a match at this time. Please call again later.

At the very least, it'd be great to meet a few friends on here. If that develops into something more than friendship, that is clearly very much welcomed. I'm not a really big fan of expectations. I like things to be as they are and to let situations progress naturally without too much overthinking, manipulation, or "swimming upstream". I consider myself an open-minded person -- I'm interested in people from different backgrounds and walks of life. I'm looking for similarly open-minded folks.

Being grateful.
Irreverence.
Eating.
Seeing things from others' perspectives.
Learning new things.

Hmm... not a conversation I have often with people. But people I know do comment on my smile, my listening skills, and inquisitive nature. Oh yes, and my butt.

One day I will actually finish this, but for now...

TV: Mad Men, Battlestar Galactica, PBS NewsHour, Reading Rainbow, Noah's Arc, Dexter, True Blood, 30 Rock, Modern Family, Weeds, Absolutely Fabulous, Archer, Star Trek: TNG, Square One Television, Arrested Development, Breaking Bad.

Food: Yes. Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and the less oily Filipino dishes. So yeah, Asian food. And Mediterranean food! Ethiopian is quite good too (I could eat injera all day long). And Indian food -- I could honestly see myself being a vegetarian if I had access to South Indian food all the time. And Mexican food a la San Diego -- San Diego's best burritos beat the Bay Area's best burritos any day. So, yeah, I like food.

Movies: I'll get to this soon, but for now... Casablanca, Star Wars, Groundhog Day, The Fifth Element. Documentaries: Paris Is Burning, The Buddha, The Corporation.

Books: A lot of non-fiction. I'll get to this soon.

Music: I really like a lot of stuff, and I'm very open. Right now I'm feeling very funk and a bit of Sinatra.

pondering the meaning of "typical".

Since I'm A-List, you won’t see that I visited your profile unless I want you to.

Also, I'm desperate and needy. Zing. Just checking if you're still reading this. And if you are, I would love to hear from you, trooper.

you think you have just found your soulmate. Or, at least, a potential new friend.
