I'm a 27 year old male who works like crazy and is unlucky in love. In my chosen profession, there isn't a lot of time for outside social interaction. Originally I joined this site just to find friends, but I'm ready to get out there and meet someone great- and not just anyone but the person I deserve.

Are you that person?

I recently graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a Bachelor of Arts in Audio Production. I currently work for CBS Radio doing sound design and audio production for DaveFM, V103(no I can't introduce you to Snoop Dogg), and WAOK News/Talk. I also do freelance work for Georgia Public Broadcast for their in-house events. When I'm not working on these things, I'm usually entrenched in a freelance project of some sort.

Lately I've been going to the gym a lot. First it was just to get in shape, but now it's become a place of peace for me.

I believe that one of my strengths is making other people feel better around me. People have told me that I should've gone into Psychology, as I always seem to have the right advice for everyone. Now only if I took my own advice....

Another strong quality I have is that I'm a born leader. I've made a lot of friends, and I'm typically the "leader of the pack" in my social circle. People genuinely seem to like me, and like being around me. The only problem is that lately all of the ladies seem to want to be my best friend.

I'm also an excellent listener. I like to talk as much as the next guy, but I'm not one of those people who will pretend to listen to you.

I'm well-educated, well-mannered, and I've got a great dry sense of humor. Make fun of me, and I'll probably laugh right along with you.

My height (6'3), eyes, or the fact that I'm trapped in the 90s and still rock Doc Martens. In all seriousness, I'm shy when you first meet me but it doesn't take long for me to warm up to you.

(A) So many books, I'm gonna have to come back to this one later....right now I'm reading Unbreakable.

(B) Edward Scissorhands, Pan's Labyrinth, Braveheart, Purple Rain, Grindhouse, Kill Bill (Volume 2 was disappointing), Atonement, Benny and Joon, Gladiator, There Will Be Blood, Zombieland, Batman, Gangs of New York, Sweeney Todd (the movie AND the broadway production), Back to the Future, cheesy slasher films, Pirates of the Caribbean series, Will Ferrell-esque comedies.

(C) This could go on forever: NIN, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Tori Amos, Bjork, The Birthday Massacre, Placebo, The Cure, Stabbing Westward, Genitorturers, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Bjork Collide, 8mm, Paul Haslinger, Tangerine Dream, VAST, In This Moment, Agnes Milewski, and other bands. I'm also a huge fan of cinema music and scores for multimedia (television, video games, interactive media, etc.) You'll have to message me for that list because it's huge.=)

(D) Italian, Mexican, pretty much all Asian cuisine

music, and the perfect soundtrack for any situation. I've also spent a lot of time thinking about what the next step in my life is, and how I plan on getting there. Lastly, I've thought about how the holidays are coming and how it would it nice to have someone to hang out with. =)

either working late or out with friends. Sometimes I like to come home, take a shower, watch some TV, and save the partying for Saturday.

I'm disgusted by most large insects. Yep, it's true.

you've gotten this far and you like what you see. Since everyone else seems to have a "list of things" at the end of their profile, here is mine:

-I'm interested in people between 21 and 30.
-Please don't be a drug abuser or a daily drunk. I've had my share of good times in my teens, but that part of my life is long gone. That being said, I like to drink but not everyday and not just to get drunk.
-I like the physical aspect of a relationship as much as any other guy does, but I've been burned before and I'm not too up on the idea of sharing a bed with a stranger after date #1. Girls seem to think that only guys on here are looking for that, but you'd be surprised.
-I respect religions in all forms, and I am a Christian, but I don't practice actively. If you do, that's great, but please don't try and shove it down my throat or threaten me with the wrath of hell. I'm spiritual enough for me.
-I've taken a lot of flak regarding my chosen profession in the audio field. I do make money doing it, and I am passionate about it. Please don't give me the "you're never going to be a rockstar" speech because that's not why I do it. I love my career and I realize that the maximum salary is not what a doctor makes, so please don't try and change me. I won't change you, promise. =)

That's about all I've got. I'm very accepting of other people's quirks (I don't use the word "flaws"), and expect the same treatment in return. Hope to speak to you soon!
