My self-summary
I'm an intelligent, handsome, witty, gentleman who was born in London, and studied abroad in Paris for a year. My friends tell me I have a great sense of humor...and that I am a nice guy.

Looking for someone ambitious, intelligent, articulate, independent, open-minded, and fun. I tend to be attracted to intelligent and classy women who are diverse and far reaching in their curiosity of the world. Could this be you?

The six things I could never do without
music, drawing, love, family, friends, design
I spend a lot of time thinking about
architectural design, music, dissonance, social justice, politics, bass, drawing, NURBS. the next cool thing to make. public life and private life in the city.
On a typical Friday night I am
having a beer with friends trying to look nonchalant. or staying in drawing a new piece while listening to tortoise, battles, fugazi, or something like that.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I am pretty open, I think. The most private thing would be that I listen to and love George Michael. "Freedom (90)" is easily the most dance-inducing song. As a straight man, that may seem funny.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 26–44
  • Near me
  • For new friends
You should message me if
you want a real conversation with a genuine slightly edgy nice guy and are looking for substance. If you are a scientist. Science is sexy.
