Seeking: dorky gay guy. Must be articulate, supportive, and intellectually inclined, some competitiveness okay. Gentleness and sensitivity strongly preferred. Ambition and environmental consciousness desired. Endearing awkardness a plus. Fondness for scifi, comic books, strategy and/or roleplaying games (board, tabletop, and/or computer), On again/off again or more frequent gym habit, familiarity with computers, particularly open source, also pluses.
C’mon a guy can dream, right? If you know such a person, in chicago, minneapolis, or possibly le bay area (assuming I get offered a job with gao, and swing a transfer), please, do arrange to introduce us.
[ETA: in retrospect I’m thinking the “musts” could use a “must be able to handle complex syntax with grace, see below”.]
This poll has been brought to you by the letters S, C, and U. Please, do not attempt to take it seriously, do not operate heavy machinery afterwards, consult your PCP if vomitting persists.
i have a good friend in chicago who does role-playing games there..
rpg’s and he’s in the city proper? You’ve piqued my interest. =)
yeah. he has a boyfriend (sorry to quash the spirit of the post) and is moving to boston in a few months. but i thought you might know him.. his name is alex
Nope, don’t know him. Well, he’s probably not moving to Boston any sooner than I’m heading back to minneapolis. And another gay geek friend, particularly one that has other gay geek friends, would be quite welcome. *shrug*
you’re moving to minneapolis? wow
I’ve endured one year there, if I endure a second, there’s a good chance I’ll leave with a master’s degree. (and never look back =)
Well, I for one, think you are in the wrong city! 😀
Ain’t big enough for the both of us? 😉
lol…. i like you
Your journal is quite appealing as well. 😉
would you really want someone that much like you? I think people with general similar tastes, but not exactly in the same areas work best together. That way you can open worlds to each other; and when one doesn’t like what he sees, that’s something the other can do by himself or with friends, away from his partner. Works out perfectly!
Well, it is a wish list, and I have my doubts I’d get the whole list in one sitting. That having been said, of my three exes, only the first is a significant departure from my ad’s ‘must’s and he was high on the ‘plus’es. My longest running ex was high on everything but the ‘plus’es. There’s still significant variety possible within that description. Trust me. =)
Hehe, you used the word “roleplaying” in a personals ad without meaning anything kinky.
You get a +12 the next time you roll the 20-sided gay-dating dice.
Now I just have to figure out if this is like the lookup tables where high rolling means ‘roll twice on the beneficial effects table’ or more like ‘you die, and demons eat your soul, there is no chance of ressurection and all your friends will laugh at you’
if you’re going for broke, you should have probably included vegan and likes to grow his own organic non-pesticide food…
You seem to forget my opinion of most vegans. =)
