dog totally ruin the masturbatory experience and don't add much in the way of attraction either--every woman i know loves babies (well, most anyway), every woman i know can get a cute guy to take a picture with them, and every woman who kisses a dog has a higher chance of being infected with blastomycosis-- besides, we don't wanna see that sh*t anyway 4. if you haven't had ""much luck with guys"" or you ""keep ending up with d-bags"" maybe it's time to re-evaluate what you're putting out--pun completely intended i'll continue to update this list. check back regularly to make your profile more attractive to me. if you don't, i will know and i will never write another love song ever again. i'm serious. i write really good love songs. it's evident by now to those of you who have

(usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations. this happens in part because many intjs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). to complicate matters, intjs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that intjs really want people to make sense. this sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the intj will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness."" in a nutshell, that's me. a little more about me: - i don't watch tv (though i own one because i love movies) - i love reading about ancient cultures, civilizations, and religions. - i

woodworking. i am pretty laid back, but can get excited if evoked. i spend a good amount of time watching my favorite sports teams (penguins, steelers, giants, and manchester united). so, if you

but knows that joy does not have an age limit. you deserve respect for the choices you've made, for the life you've lived, and for the woman you are. you have a big heart and desire a relationship with someone who knows how to have fun, someone who knows himself and feels confident enough to be himself. you like to be surprised, you enjoy spontaneity, but you also value solid values and integrity. you love to laugh, and you know how to cry. once you have developed a trusted relationship, you enjoy the physical aspects of being with a man who cares for you and respects you, and can make you feel valued and loved. once the time is right, deep intimacy is something you desire as well as a passionate sex life, but you don't want to be rushed too quickly into anything. you love feeling held, feeling safe in the arms of the person who loves you more than anything and anyone else in the world. you value the experience, the caring, the knowledge that comes with someone like me, who has lived a very rich life. you are reasonably fit physically, give or take. now about me: i'm quite sensual, found lost in thoughts, intense, spontaneous, thoughful, caring, active, dedicated to eating right, and more. i prefer a woman who can embrace her intellect, feelings, and sexuality in an artful way. in some ways, i appear to be a conflict, but think of myself as being comfortable with being ecclectic. i live a rich inner-life, and although considered (by some) to be a bit older than others on okc, i have a very youthful outlook on life. i enjoy exploring the beautiful natural world we live in, i love discovering new experiences live music performances, swimming, hiking, and meditation. education is important to me, and i read copiously in pursuit of it. life, to a fairly good degree, is about continuing education. i also enjoy conversations, political discourse, philosophy, solutions, initmate subjects that need understanding, and then witty banter because life can be funny. some friends have told me i'm one of the funniest people they know, but i take them by surprise because i'm so low-key. i'm also about the inner you, and not your possessions. and equally, i care more about your mind, heart, your kindness, and your passions, than about the outer you, as long as you respect and take care of yourself, avoid being obese, and have self-respect. being a plastic barbie doll is hardly necessary, although not an obese person what really matters is what's inside, and if you are an honest, loving, happy person, love lots of kissing and lovemaking, and

for/hanging out with friends in the kitchen or around a bbq. most of my recipes turn out great, others don't (you have been warned). i like to think i have common sense (this of course is debatable). i get along well with my family and hang out/talk with them regularly. i am pretty good at parallel parking (no really...i am). i like getting out on the weekends, but can sometimes be somewhat of a homebody if left to my own devices (what can i say? my house is pretty nice to hang out in). speaking of houses, i have my own that i share with *macie my three year old pup and a pseudo-roommate (she sleeps here once or twice a week, so really the house is just a really expensive storage unit for her). as far as what i am looking for...i want to find someone that i can pal around with, and eventually marry and have kids with (it isn't a secret, so i might as well throw it out there now). he needs to like to eat (did you know there are some people who actually don't like to eat?!) and be willing to help with the dishes (something that i can be very bad at). otherwise, i don't think specific interests are really that important (since i would theoretically bring in my interests, you would bring in yours..and we would share), but i do want to find someone that conversation flows with, and common interests never hurt in that regard. past that, i am looking for the normal stuff

interested,curvy,4.0,no,"in a nutshell-- (a big nutshell..a coconut shell): i once saved a friend from drowning in the chicago river. i've gone face to face with abusers and criminals. i've been blessed at the temple of the divine madman. i've dug in the dirt for artifacts with which my ancestors used to eat in israel. i've written 10 plays, directed 15, produced 8 (acted in a bunch too).and had one play written about me by a man i barely knew. i know how to help people fight their demons and bring back broken-off parts of their souls. i've been to the saharan desert on a camel (don't know his name). if i were to summarize myself in one sentence (and you can stop reading here) i'm fun, flexible, and interested in almost everything. i've been lucky enough to live my passions for most of my career. i'm passionate about the power of good storytelling in our lives. i love how narratives define us--the ones that we live amongst and the ones that we create. i love spectacle, dance and art. i'm always building a better truth-o-meter. i'm also passionate about health. i fervently believe that we are here to love in our healthiest, fullest way and that this takes a lot of effort and consideration. so when i say health, what i mean is physical, emotional, psychic and spiritual health. exploring the paths of growth and connection makes me happy. assisting others along their path thrills me. i work hard but i also play hard. concerts (i also think this would be a fun 1st date with the right person) theatre, movies, art openings. i'm at home in my sweet, small bedroom community, but i also revel in the ferment, grit and licentiousness of the city. not much shocks me. i navigate many worlds. i'm so romantic i believe that finding your soul-mate feels like falling out of your body into bliss, and that's a good thing. while i thoroughly enjoy dabbling in polyamory, i am a devotee to devotion and to the idea of communion between souls. i'm wise about the world and about people, but continuously nave about how people can disastrously misinterpret things. while i'm competent at many things and have produced giant events, i have a hard time keeping track of little details like calendaring. i have a close circle of friends and a family with two wonderful kids, ages 10 and 11. i consider my ex to be one of my best friends. here's a quote from a friend who, you'll see, loves me very much: ""so, let me tell you about friskylove. and let me say, i'm writing this guy-to-guy, as if you and i were sitting in a bar and you just asked me, so, tell me about friskylove. and i happened to like you and thought you were worthy. so, as men, let's face it...personality is nice...it's relevant....but not what we think of first, is it? so, let's deal with it right up front - she's cute and has range. you'll never get bored with her look, is what i'm trying to say....if you want sexy, she can throw on the louboutin's, a really low cut top (one that highlights some of her finest assets), some make up and bam! eye-catching and alluring, the most striking woman in the room. while she has the hot gear (trust me), she's not high maintenance....heading to a park? a hike? she's as down-to-earth and easy going as any girl next door. like i said, she has a range of looks that you, as a guy, are sure to be happy with, my friend. very happy. beyond her looks and style, though, you'll like her mind. she's gregarious, intelligent, funny. i rarely see her when she's not smiling. she's able to find joy and pleasure in so many things - art, food, music, theater, people. she has an incredibly strong intellect; i mean, if you're applying to be a boy toy and you're incredibly handsome and cut, feel free - she may have use of you. but if you're looking for a partner - a relationship - with a woman with opinions, well, you're in luck. after any opera, a play, even a tv show, i can tell you that you'll be able to spend hours with her talking about it and marvelling at her insight. she's smart and sweet. friskylove has an incredibly big heart and a great sense of empathy. if you need help, someone to talk to, if you like to share, you've found your match. she's a great listener and sounding board - she's a person that will be very interested in getting to know you. if you're the strong, silent type - ach, probably not a good fit. for either of you. if all this sounds too good to be true, you're probably asking why i'm not dating her....awkward! she's the ex- of one of my best friends, so, as we all know, the code prevents me from going there, so i don't. but you should try...;-) should we order another round?""

like (and don't like.) i work hard at most things in my life both personally and professionally and am finally at a place in my life where i can start to enjoy what i've accomplished (not that it makes me slow down much). to give you an idea of my personality... i'm pretty shy, but most people that know me would disagree. i'm the kind of person that thinks i can do it all by myself. i've learned the hard way that tearing down walls, sewing jeans, moving furniture by myself are things that i shouldn't attempt without help or guidance...but i still do it. i always check my email, read the gossip blog, nyt, sfgate, huffpost and check my horoscope before i get out of bed each morning. i guess i like to know what's happening in the world before i set my feet on the floor. i like to be on time for things. i'm a total romantic and admit that i love to watch sappy english period movies. i am often perplexed that my own mr. darcy hasn't rushed up to me while i'm strolling across crissy field to declare his passionate and tortured love to me. i mean, why doesn't that happen? :) home is the heart of it all for me. a cozy place where myself, my pets, family and friends can be is really important to me. i look forward to having a few hours alone on a weekend, where i can do a project or take a nap while watching a bad lifetime movie. this seems to be a rare thing lately. i care about my experiences much more than i care about material things. before i was 8, i was trampled by a llama, got sent to the car more times than anyone could count, was chased by a buffalo, could fly fish, and had every star wars figure. i was married young and for most of my 20's. we divorced as friends, although not in touch now. while not ideal, it taught me a lot about love, commitment and myself. one of my dreams is to build my own house someday (i'm a huge architecture and design geek), something modern and beautiful in napa or the coast that is welcoming to friends and family.",anywhere

like you reading this, there is far more to me than these words and i thought i should try to illuminate some of my truth here. my father arrived in brazil with a suitcase and eight dollars in his pocket in search of a better life. he was what my age is today, had never left his home region in india, and was a complete stranger in a completely strange land. what he had was knowledge and wisdom. my mother came in three years later; she is also a teacher and could have hardly imagined where their lives would take them. soon thereafter the dictatorship interfered in the university and through no fault of their own, my parents had to leave and went to an island city far away which is where i, their only child, was born and raised. it might also explain how i grew up as the only person with my ethnic and cultural mix that i knew of, of how i have three native tongues and can speak a few other accents and languages, and hold three citizenships today. my parents, who still live in brazil, gifted me with a happy childhood despite the turbulence we went through rough times during hyperinflation, moving to another small city on the other side of the globe and then back, a shattered family when our car fell off from a 200-feet cliff, witnessing the return of democracy, winning the one scholarship to an elite high school in the capital, opening one door after another, and then embarking on my own immigrant journey to come to the us for college. learning is the music of my soul; i loved everything and focused on engineering, medicine and business across three amazing schools. after spending several years creating companies and products, at the moment i work on investing in other people's ideas in the heart of silicon valley. i know how blessed i am and i consecrate my waking hours to, in some small way, making a dent in the universe. i believe in a sound body and a sound mind. my legs have climbed the tallest mountain in africa; my chest fallen at 100 miles per hour from a plane 13,500 ft in the air, my feet swing, salsa and waltz; my hands bake and broil; my head likes its reading omnivorous and prolific. i used to compose prose and poetry but i don't make enough time for it these days. when i was 18 i lived and served for a summer in a place with little water or electricity. i have kept my connection and since then helped build a library, a high school lab and currently building a hospital there. there is more at http://hospitalforhope.org and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwansywfceu; this is something i care deeply about and i hope to have the strength and vision to do a lot more. i have always tried living close to work because it makes my life happier; my 2005 hybrid takes me all around the bay and two-three times a week to the city. my flaws and weaknesses fill giant volumes that mostly only i know, i assure you they make for a fascinating read. =) i try to live without any regrets but i wonder if sometimes i fail at it. i am hoping to find a like-minded person who will help me always grow and that i can do the same. wish you the best in your search too.",same city +fffe3100310030003800,Sean

a week. my other real passion is ballroom dancing, which i started six years ago. although i enjoy social dancing, my main interest is serious ballroom, and i periodically do performances and competition, at a beginning intermediate level. a few years ago, my passion was walking and light hiking, and i ended up doing a solo walking tour through the cotswalds for two weeks. in other words,

are really close, usually getting together about once a week. my preference would be that you have had experience as a parent also, as i think raising children tends to give us a somewhat different perspective on life. i'm looking forward to grandchildren, which i expect are likely in the next few years. i like to travel and would hope that you do too, but i'm not free to up and leave on a moment's notice. i'd love to go out salsa dancing, to a concert, to biscuits and blues, to a musical, or simply share a quiet evening at home, reading. i do not enjoy cooking, but if that's a passion for you, i'll enjoy a glass of wine and chop the veggies while we talk. i like people and like to know the experiences and ideas that make them who they are. i'm a good listener and care deeply about

well-educated women, especially with a warm heart, great style, and a well-developed creative side. i'm unwilling to stake a claim on the butch-femme spectrum, in regard to who i am or who i'm looking for. yes, chemistry matters, and so much turns on finding just the right mixture of similarity and difference. still, for me it's so much about the person that i'd rather meet and explore whatever chemistry we might have face to face. (but ... if you know you have a particular type, send me a message and let's talk about it. i'll give myself a label in private if i have to, just for the sake of practicality.) some of my favorite places are independent book stores filled with great fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art books, journals, or cafs where i can drink really good coffee or really hot tea, surrounded by people who look like they'd be interesting to know. also oceans, lakes, rivers, hammocks, porches. warm river stones to laze on, warm fires to curl up in front of. my lover's arms. i'm both an introvert and a social being. i love time to myself, especially at home, but i'm also wired for connection and have to be careful not to spend too much time alone. i love adventure with the right companions a few years ago south africa captured my heart, in a complicated way and look forward to more travel in my future. i love big sur and new york city, and would visit both at least once a year, if i had my way. i grew up in the midwest, spent a good stretch of years in new york, and have lived in california for the past 25 years. i love to do things in a slow and leisurely way, which often puts me at odds with the world around me. (warning: people who like everything to happen really fast will probably go crazy around me.) i used to think i ought to have lived in the south, but i can't stand the insects or the air-conditioning. and then there are the social attitudes. what am i doing on okcupid? well, yes, i'd love to meet new friends, and dating can be fun, and i'm not above a good, old-fashioned roll in the hay with the right person. but what i really want is the real deal a passionate connection with a fabulous, well-adjusted woman with whom i can create a future. someone who can see and know me really far down, and who wants to be known and seen in kind. someone who feels like home, in the best possible ways. a life together doesn't have to look any particular way for me. by this age most of us have full,

expensive car or some other trophy the general population would recognize. instead i decided to move to a new city and gain some new perspective. i brought along with me however an attitude towards relationships that was defeatist at best. after a 20 year string of failed relationships i had come to the conclusion that i was really better off all on my own and i truly felt that i was not capable of falling in love again at this point in my life. after a couple of happy years in san francisco i find myself in a much altered state. i felt a major shift in my attitude toward relationships a month or so ago. i was having a conversation about all of this with a new friend i had met while traveling and they suggested to me that my heart chakra had opened up again. i am not an especially spiritual person and i don't subscribe to any sort of organized religion or philosophies but i do think the spirit of that statement is true. i do now crave falling in love and equally as important i

[grammar:on] i'll break from the lists now. i'm pretty easygoing. i'm a believer in letting people live their lives without adding to their own mile-high plates of shit. after all, we live in the same, little world. i like people. yeah, that's a broad phrase. i like to think about the way people think, to put it in a roundabout way, i suppose. it's interesting the way we act, interact, and go about life. i also happen to like sex. let's get our giggles out. i will, however, be safe and say prudes need not apply. i'm also an active kinkster. turn off? buh bye. :] still with me? good. oh right! i'm a bit of a fucking geek. i also like to exercise my right to expletives. fuck. (okay, maybe that was uncalled for. maybe.) i'm (very) occasionally known to replace my entire vocabulary with four letter words, sometimes for minutes on end. this usually follows a heated, and often hilarious rant. i didn't realize how much i actually swore 'till someone pointed it out to me. the most appropriate response at the time i could come up with was, ""well, fuck, dude."" that said, i'm capable of keeping a clean mouth at least 8 hours out of the day, and around children. no holds barred after 9pm, though. my profile currently indicates that i'm 'straight', but if labels are required, i'd fit the title of 'heteroflexible' a bit closer. okay, maybe 'hetero(very)flexible'. i'll warn ya straight up as well-- i'm not a manly man oozing testosterone, and i damn well plan to keep it that way. if you're looking for an 'all-american image of man' i'm not your guy. oh, and for the love of mike, don't try to change me. if i feel the need or urge to change, it'll happen. just remember, i'm not your toy, mmkay? mmkay. so, what am i looking for? before you get into all this stuff, i'm mainly looking to increase my friend base. i need more people to chill and game with. i don't care what you're playing. i might even play d&d 4th, if i have to. if i -have- to. it'd also be cool to meet more nightlifey people. i spent three years working and going to school, instead of exploring like i should have been. :x i need nighttime escapes! know of any good bars or shows? tell me! drag me! force me! quietly suggest! anything! (especially if they need workers :p) if you know about any raves going on in the bay area (bonus points if you can supply a ride? :p) poke at me. well, if you made it this far, by all means, keep going. odds are, i'll probably like ya. anyways, as you can see from my sidebar, i'm looking for new friends, long-term and short-term dating, activity partners, long distance pen pals, and sex partners. (i do hate the term casual encounters. sounds like we're going for coffee and a donut. we can, though. speaking of which, i know a sweet place in the mission to get a shit ton of free donuts. more about that later.) new friends: yes, i'm looking for new friends. i'm a very open and personal kind of guy, and i like my friends to feel close. i don't believe in having emotionless friendship, and i like to be emotionally connected to my friends on some level. this does not mean that i want committed relationships from my friends or anything of the sort. i simply believe that if friends can't trust each other with their emotions, they could just as well be strangers passing each other on the street. emotional connections are what i believe separate friends from acquaintances. friends empower each other-- they build each other up. occasionally, friends have issues. it happens. they get over it. needless to say, i don't like sugar-coating life. oh, and don't watch what ya say, tmi's lost it's authority around me. i don't have much of a personal bubble, either. i'm just warning you long in advance. i do respect your bubble, though. :) long term dating: how long is 'long term' per se? weeks? months? years? honestly, if i'm still 'dating' someone after six months and we haven't moved to either a friend or relationship status, well, that's probably the end of the ""long term dating"". i'm not the master of romance, but i am a romantic. i am on a dating site after all. if you're looking to date purely for sex, i'd highly advise you look on my 'sex partner' sections. ;) if you think you've got an interest, please send a message :). also, please, please, please, (really, please.) don't confuse my asking to hang out as asking you on a date. also, don't assume that because we hang out that we are dating. i also tend to lean rather heavily toward polyamory. short term dating: this is pretty much the same thing as the above, so i'm not going to bother writing another block of 'stuff'. activity partners: i'm down to meet up and try anything, rock climbing, biking, swimming, drawing, whatever. just give me fair warning, eh? if you've got a moped i'd love to blast with you. long distance pen pals: so what if you live a few states away? i love talking to people who generally want to befriend me. that said, if we're going to talk, please be literate. this goes for anyone i talk to. while i might say things like, ""y hello thar,"" or ,""teh fheck's you doin'?"", that doesn't mean i don't like full, literate conversations. as you can see from reading this profile, (shit, you are still reading, aren't you?) i like to be well spoken, and i can't stand too much of, ""hey, wuts good? im chillin @ home wer r u?"" no offense to people to who text talk, but i just can't stand to read it too long. a little bit's okay, i just don't want to have to decipher what the fuck you're trying to say. sex partners: before you make assumptions, just because i am also seeking sex partners does not mean i am only seeking sex partners. now, i said i hate the term 'casual encounters' but that doesn't mean i like 'sex partners' either. i like to bundle this term loosely with 'friends' because if i just plain don't like someone i'm having sex with and that doesn't change, i'm probably not going to have sex with that person much longer. i prefer that my partners are at least friends. now for my ever-present, ""this does not in any way, shape, form, or definition mean that we are dating or in a committed relationship."" friends can have sex. in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with experiencing pleasure with a friend. and... the 'nitty gritty'. i am completely std free, and i am tested regularly. obviously, you should be too. condoms are a must. i definitely believe in 'safe and sane' play, and i'd really prefer anyone who is seeking sex be capable of having open communication about it. ya know, stuff like what works, what doesn't, boundaries, etc. while i like to say i'm experienced (i certainly think i am, and i've had no complaints), there is a lot that i haven't tried, so creativity is a big plus. i'm willing to try almost anything. in case you can't tell, i'm not a boy scout. remember that part about tmi having lost authority? as a general note, any time you're uncomfortable or have something on your mind that you want to tell me, let me know. i'd rather you risk my feelings be hurt than disappear over something that could just be resolved in an adult fashion. *** other things i'm interested in geminis: as you can see, i'm a gemini and very serious about it. what's this mean? well, if you've ever read a personality profile for a gemini, it's correct. both the good and the bad. now, geminis, what does this mean for you? i'm wary of you. oh, am i wary of you. no offense, but i know myself. (yeah, i know you're giggling right now because you're thinking of yourself and going, ""oooooooh.. teehee"" i'm onto your ass.) at the same time, i love you and embrace you with more open arms than possibly anyone else. if it's a friendship you're after, you got it, if it's a date, sure, if it's a relationship, i'm a little cautious, but you know exactly why, and if it's sex, it's probably gonna happen at the drop of a hat. dragons (chinese zodiac): because of your likely brazen, bold, and firm nature, as well as my brazen, bold, and firm nature it's a likelihood that we will argue and compete a lot. that's not a bad thing though. it's good to be able to defend a stance against someone you're already friends with. strangers may not exchange the time of day, but friends can argue for hours and still be happy. *** a few other things so, this section was an afterthought. here's a few random things. -stephen colbert is a man-like demigod.

seriously. i avoid taking myself seriously unless absolutely necessary. doubling down with a healthy dose of sarcasm also helps. *you should only call something ""impossible"" to make it that much more impressive when you eventually achieve it. nothing is impossible. *almost everything is better when it's shared. *failure is preferable to not making the attempt at all, since you'll probably learn something along the way. *i used to be unhappy with the stereotype that we nice guys finish last, until it occurred to me that nice guys *should* finish last--it's just appropriate bedroom courtesy. *self-summary essays and emails do a terrible job of portraying personality. face-to-face communication is always best. and now, a lot of text: punctual. reckless. jock. photogenic. cheesemonger. not one of these words has ever been used to describe me. well, someone called me punctual once, but that was right after i arrived forty minutes late to a dinner party so it was probably sarcasm. probably. words that *have* been used to describe me include: nerd, dreamer, hilarious, warm, modest, blasphemous, sweet, witty, rambler, silly, hungry, caring, distracted, awesome, ridiculous, geek, absurd, handsome (don't act surprised--i photograph terribly), smart, annoying, talented, confusing, loving, and most frequently, dude. i spent my late teens/early twenties working hard and skipping fun so that i wouldn't have to later. now it's later, and while i still have to work hard the time is right for some epic questing (what most of y'all call ""adventure""). in addition to meeting new people and making more friends, i'm looking for a partner in crime, a watson to my holmes, a teller to my penn, a rose/martha/donna/amy to my doctor... you get the idea. what i need is a fellow reluctant adventurer. why reluctant? well, sometimes it's tempting to stay in and skip the action for a bit, especially when you're cozy and there's stuff you could cook at home and you'd have to get gas in the car first and damn it that's no fun, so a fellow reluctant adventurer would understand that and be down for staying in for a board game/netflix browse/cuddle marathon. but equally important is the sudden, random desire to be out looking for trouble, so that's an important quality, too. being at least a bit of a nerd--and having the glasses to match--is worth mucho bonus points. i've done a bit of traveling and will soon do a whole bunch more. i love road trips, and will hopefully repeat my pilgrimage back to my hometown in indiana sometime soon.",anywhere

i'm a bit of a blend of disparate elements. one portion of me is the consummate ubergeek : i design electronics for a living (usually something that involves processing video and that has me thinking about implementation of complex realtime algorithms in very large, very fast fpgas) but the important thing is the aspect of creation. to me there's something immensely powerful about starting with an idea in one corner of my brain and through hard work and experimentation bringing it to life to fill some purpose. it doesn't have to be electronics - it could just as easily be carpentry (i've rebuilt a house in the past) but electronics pays better. the flip side is somebody who enjoys dancing a fair amount either as a performer or just for my own pleasure. i do a bit of improv, and in recent years have even sung a bit in front of audiences. the balance between the geek and the performer helps keep me (mostly) sane. i read a little bit of everything but have an old love for sci fi and fantasy. i love games (computer, board or whatever) and will happily match you either at a long run of civilization or of catan. i haven't watched tv for years (although dvds are a welcome

partner in the laboratory of life, and possibly a lover in perpetual fascination. i seek both sweetness and intensity. i am allergic to introductory imming and feel constrained by the ok cupid questions so i am unsure whether online dating is my vehicle and am often surprised by my getting-to-know-you- awkwardness that often manifests in these settings but what the hell, i am taking the plunge any way. so tell me your story and enroll me. and oh yeah, i admit, i look at pictures first, too! i approach life as an exploration- i am both the experimenter and the experimented on and my life is the laboratory. the world is both my playground, my classroom and my responsibility and i seek someone who feels likewise. i am a lot of things- and i often contradict myself and i would like to be appreciated for all my multiplicities- the dark and the light, the sweet and the tart, the pretty and the ugly. i have many aspects and like to give them all stage time- depending upon the situation, person/s and my frame of mind. complexity is a state and simplification is a goal i both accept and subscribe to- in the mean time, i want to be fully held and seen- and occasionally swept off my feet preferably for a piggy back up a hill ;0 i flex flow between ferocious directness and ridiculous shyness and both are equal expressions of me. i like to cook and really like to feed others. in providing nourishment, i am fed. i love kung fu and qi gong and am dedicated to my practice- would like to be more so- this translates into a preference for action movies with well choreographed fight scenes. i am just as moved by the visceral poetry of destructive prowess as by the beauty of the words of rumi. i need deep conversations but really appreciate random moments of idiocy and shallow interludes. i believe any dialogue should a be a symphony of both levity and gravity. i have a love/hate relationship with integral theory (it would be nice to be able to commiserate with someone on this) and a love- love relationship with the foundation for spiritual development (ask me what this is and i will stumble through a befuddled explanation). i fluctuate between feeling too school for cool and too cool for school. the fried potato is my weakness- i love it in alls its variations and have been known to devour an entire bag on the way home from an intense work out- true story. i still occasionally fall off the potato chip wagon and enjoy it every time. i am accommodating and pretty easy going until i am not. i am softer than i act and probably harder than i look. i thrive on the tension in between being and becoming and desire an ingenious cocktail of challenge and support from friends as well as potential partners. i am neither alpha nor beta and as a self positioned fringe member of the pack, i know when to and am comfortable with following/supporting as well as taking charge but i have not yet learned how to dance nicely with others- i guess i am here to practice. in summation: enneagram dominant 9w8 sx/so/sp, intp, aries, metal monkey, pitta vatta, kinesthetic learner, politically disillusioned, spiritually comprehensive,

not too bad if you can forgive me for occasional such missteps, read on! i believe in living an integrated life, finding a fugue for left- and right-brain expressions. i have faith in the natural world, in the vibrancy of our communities, and in the grace of human interactions and negotiations. i believe in cultivating my spark in the world, and in encouraging that spark in others. i have my moments of reflection and self-expression, in the spirit of mary oliver and thoreau. i am strongly opposed to fundamentalism and evangelism, from religious and atheist camps alike. i am a pagan, a beginning fan of meditation, and (after some self-examination and re-examinations) i identify as a person with a spiritual path. i understand that my path is to flirt with the unknown, and to find my balance in the middle of all that. (i also have a fun time trying to define my values, and put words to the ineffable. i struggle with the fact that i don't see myself as unreasonable or invulnerable to logic; i just believe there is more to my life experience than -just- logic, or -just- the ineffable. :) ) my ber-frank paragraph upfront: i want to birth and raise at least one kid. i am embarking on how to accomplish this with my current friend network, planning things out, establishing committees, and stuff. i would live to find a co-conspirator for this kind of project, but at least want a partner or partners that like kids and the women that have them. :p (now, back to regular profile infoes!) my real self likes to smell good smells, from all sorts of things. i love the smell of freshly-laundered clothes, especially on myself or on others. i like the smell of clean hair, and skin, and murphy's oil soap. i aim to use non-petrochemical laundry detergents, that tend to smell faintly like lavender, or some other herb. but somehow, the smell of standard detergent-cleaned clothes is appealing, as well: the strong chemical smell of clean, wafting off a person i'm snuggling with...nothing beats this! (even lysol has its charms!) i'm rather sensory based: i like the feel of things, the taste and texture of them, as well as the thrill of delicious smells. i love worn wood floors, and wooden handles, and the homes of retired hippies, with papasan round chairs, and bamboo. i sometimes see sound as color; i get very emotional when faced with striking, sweeping music or dance. sean dorsey, mark morris: i love modern dance, and art. olafur eliasson makes me grin... i like eating delicious, particular foods from a foodie friend's kitchen. i love the feel and smell of hand lotions, and essential oils. folk dance is a big part of my life -- contra dance and scottish country especially -- and i am drawn very much to folk music, especially fiddles. i like indie comic books, singalong music and all sorts of crafts. i love the arts and most dance forms. i am queer, bi, polyamorous, even if i mostly date one person at a time, feminist and a quiet pagan. i'm a health education advocate, too. i claim as friends and soul-siblings the radical faeries community from short mountain sanctuary in tennessee. i learned how to crochet and knit from queer boys at this rural commune. i relearned knitting about 4 years ago, from a nice swedish lady on bart. i'm an unabashed morning person. love the taste of caffe latte, but don't have a caffeine habit. i like kukicha and earl grey, on rare caffeinated moments. soy de miami, viviendo en oakland, california para como 7 aos ahora. me gusta mucho el espaol de mxico/california...puedo entenderlo ms facil! pues, usualmente estoy usando espaol solamente en trabajo, pero es un parte de m identidad....para ser una mujer, una gringa de miami, aprendiendo culturas diferentes y disfrutando las personas quines yo encuentro. je parle un peu de francais, d'une voyage france l'hiver 2006....paris, bretagne, et la cathedral de chartres, avec le labyrinth trs magnifique et trs vieux. enfin, les cits de strausbourg et luxembourg. j'aime les ""puddings"" de danon, mais non les ""keyboards"" de la eu. :p j'ai les settings pour les accents! trs bien. j'ai des amis franaise quebeois. maintenant, j'apprends quelque chose canadienne franaise...poutine, le slang de quebec, et les ftes. :p avec chance, je vais aprendre franais plus vite, plus vite, plus vite... i am grinning, heartfelt, and watching out.",same state +fffe3100390030003100,Timothy James,61,single,m,straight,not at all,never,74.0,clerical / administrative,"san carlos, california",likes dogs and likes cats,no,"english (fluently), french (poorly)",interested,average,3.0,no,"i'm the father of a fabulous 15-year-old boy. i've been out of a 17-year marriage since november 2010.

of them are about how i can create unique, interesting and engaging ways to visually communicate stuff that i feel. but mostly i like to daydream and let my mind wander and play. this is exactly what i have been taught not to do in meditation, which makes sitting a really exciting exercise for me. in spite of my playful mind, i somehow manage to remain a very relaxed, measured spirit who meets the day with more flow than fight. i'm really easy to be around if you like peaceful, playful rebellious energy. i should also add that i laugh at more things than i probably should. i can't help it; the world is just so entertaining. i am deeply fascinated by the human struggle and i swear my heart goes out to anyone who suffers. i am always for the underdog. i'm kind of a bleeding heart but being on the sentimental side has its benefits. i get to feel all kinds of things, but most importantly, alive. if you meyers-briggs me you get a pretty solid infp. i love the sound of walking over smooth river stones, or crunchy sidewalk/driveway gravel. i love to travel but have found that exploration of your own city can be as infinite as any wandering of a foreign country. i love riding in trains. i love ordering room service. i love cold, gray, rainy days but i will always prefer to have the sun shine on my face. something about the smell of bleach reminds me of swimming pools in the summertime. while we're on scents, here's a few of my favorites: wood burnt by friction, new vinyl shower curtains, fresh rain on hot asphalt, manzanita, tide pools, gasoline, clean hair, dryer sheets, puppy breath, brand new inflatable pool toys and old books. despite having a massive collection of books i wish i read more, but books rarely hold my attention long enough to finish them. that's why i prefer magazines and design books, although i mostly just look at the pictures. i love tv, and am never missing game of thrones, mad men, girls or real time w/ bill maher. i want to learn how to play the ukelele but i can't seem to adjust my guitar-playing fingers to the tiny-ness of it. i love purring down the road on my old motorcycle and laying my chin on the gas tank in a dare-to-nap position. wind is the best cleanser, next to honesty. i am a creative, a left-hander, and i love what i do. here's where you come in. your needle points more towards naive than jaded. you are constantly in awe of the things you encounter and feel like you will never stop learningor appreciating for that matter. you approach life with a degree of humility to temper your more confident streaks. you are nice to peopleespecially people who can do nothing for you. you tip well, not because you are made of cash, but because you genuinely appreciate the fact that another person is providing you a service. you can find the ridiculous in everything and laugh off people when they are not being their best, knowing that you too may have your days. i don't have any list of specifics for my ideal girl because i've found that love, much like luck, usually comes in disguise and you don't recognize it until it's eating fruit loops on your front porch. if you resonate with any of this
