Apparently I come off a bit intense -- but if that doesn't scare you, read on. (INTJ, if it matters.) And seriously, if you're not above 80% compatibility on the survey questions, I'm probably not worth your time. Those are an amazing gauge of what might work.

I have somehow developed a talent for creating massive amounts of life change in a big hurry, and am now all about getting out of ruts. I'm a lifelong, impulsive world traveler and like to drag unwitting souls along with me. I've lived in a couple of boring European countries and dream of ditching it all to do language preservation work in Central America.

I'm married to a shy, meditative homebody who is happy for me to have outgoing female friends. And no, not poly or "ethically nonmonogamous" or whatever the hip kids call it these days. I don't want to have sex with you. Really. But I will happily be your companion in finding the next greatest grungy taqueria, see your band (or someone else's), day drink, or go running.

For what it's worth, I ended up going to Iceland (platonically) for 10 days with the last OK Cupid person I hit it off with. (Planned after having met in person three times, and yes, OK with the wife.) There are likely more of you out there.

I've taken the realization that I've hit 40 to heart and decided to kick the living up a notch. I travel a lot for work (as well as fun) but I do really relish having some genuine connections to keep me rooted, and to create a set of people that make "home" worth coming back to. I'm all about finding ways to make the most of quality time.

In practice: weekend activities may include day drinking, running, or both.

dramatic life change (yours or mine)

fixing your computer/tablet/dumbphone/smartphone/router

considerate and clever gifts (material ones)

messy hair and/or deep, radio-ready voice. (A long time ago I was a radio DJ and amateur actor.) I'm told I have a nice ass, but I find that hard to judge.

Food: anything, and I really mean it. I went to Vietnam just for the food, and I have eaten some truly gnarly things, even nasty Icelandic stuff. My preferences are carb-heavy cuisines like Italian or (yum) German. That said, I live with a vegetarian and do just fine.

Music: I listen to a lot of electronic/IDM like Boards of Canada, Tycho, Aphex Twin. In a previous phase of existence, I was in a noise-rock/stoner metal band, and I truly love stoner metal (Pelican, Kyuss, Sleep) and stuff like The Sword or Black Sabbath. I can keep it to the car or headphones, though.

Books: I was a German Lit major as an undergrad and will go toe-to-toe with any English or Classics major. I still read stuff like that, lately lots of modern Russian authors.

Movies: mostly documentaries. Cheesy action flicks are fine, too.

Bourbon
Passport
Running shoes
Reading material (dead trees preferred since they're not subject to being turned off during taxi and takeoff)
My dog (a pint-sized, rescued, girlie pit bull)
...and another reliable human to take care of said pup when I'm gone

My next meal, and my Burning Man to-do list. (Getting my burner cherry popped this year.)

wiped out, but ready to rally.

I can't grow a socially acceptable beard and it makes me feel unmanly. I've tried, and it looks horrible.

You loathe autocorrect.

You would like to hit Zooey Deschanel with a shovel.

You're serious about meeting in person for a Manhattan, beer, etc. and just looking for people to hang with. Or go to Iceland with.
