I moved from Wisconsin to Seattle in June 2005 with my partner, Rachel, for graduate school. While we both like Seattle (in the summer and fall at least) it most likely won't be the city we eventually settle in. Australia has a lot of appeal to us but I certainly don't know what the future holds.

I am primarily interested in finding a bisexual male that is interested in casually dating both of us.

I enjoy hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving both in the Puget Sound and in tropical locations (recently went to Roatan, Honduras), traveling, camping and discussing aspects of philosophy, or counseling theory. Both Rachel and I have rather beautiful salt water reef aquariums.

I love activities with at least a slight adrenaline rush. Roller coasters, scuba diving, horseback riding, and para-sailing have all been great. I can't wait to try sky diving sometime soon.

I completed my undergraduate degree with a double major in Philosophy and Psychology in Wisconsin and just finished my masters in Mental Health Counseling. My Internship was at Seattle Counseling Services for Sexual Minorities (a great place to get very good and cheap therapy). I just accepted a position working as a mental health therapist at a local community mental health agency.

Interacting with people, either in casual conversation or in more serious therapy sessions.

I get comments often about my eyes.

One of my favorite restaurant is the New Orleans Creole Restaurant in downtown Seattle because of the live Jazz and great southern food. I also enjoy the restaurant Chili Basil on Capitol Hill. Rachel has been experimenting with making Indian food recently and has even made her own paneer.

I love the works of Octavia Butler. The world lost a wonderful author when she died. The Mistborn trilogy was also a great series.

American Beauty, Chasing Amy, Crouching Tiger, House of Flying Daggers, Equilibrium, Serenity, The Meaning of Life, Threesome, Love Actually and I Heart Huckabees are a scattering of movies I enjoyed for different reasons. I love almost all musicals. I am generally not a fan of Horror or War movies. I also have a strong enough dislike of the philosophy in Fight Club that I created a blog about it awhile ago. Fight Club seems to be included on a lot of favorite movie lists.

steling recommended the movie Adaptation. It was a great movie commenting on passion in life. The main character is both repulsive and very endearing. I would be interested in any other recommendations people have, even if it takes me a couple of weeks to watch them.

I have been introduced to Ladytron, The Dresden Dolls, Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation and Wolfsheim by my friend Jason. It was very different music from what I was used to but I love it now. Of course I still love ABBA as well. :)

The way humans function in the world around them. The harm caused by closed systems that don't modify themselves to changing demands (i.e. the foster care system). The strange ability of people to "know" something but not apply or connect that knowledge to anything useful.

I was recently reading the Mismeasure of Man by Steven Jay Gould. So I was thinking a lot about the history of race relations and the subconscious influence of social belief on scientific inquiry.

I particularly like what Gould identifies as the operative paragraph of the work: "We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive then the stunting of life, few injustices deeper then the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within."

Once every couple of months my friends and I will go dancing; otherwise my Fridays usually include making dinner, socializing and watching movies with the same group of friends. Getting Scuba gear together for a dive Saturday morning or preforming a water change and cleaning my aquarium are other possibilities.

I can't spell to save my life and am thankful daily for computer spell check. I am also quite skeptical of my field and wouldn't choose most of my old classmates as my own therapist, mostly because people can be very close minded and judgmental regarding different relationship forms.

You are interested in the experience of dating a couple, there is really nothing quite like it. In my personal experience threesomes beat twosomes in almost every area. :)

The only type of relationship I have no interest in is impersonal sexual hookups.
