So, these tricks are occasionally fun & all, but I think my personality, and of late, my desires, are geared more towards the finding of someone I want to stick around. My mating habits will require a complete reworking, but I’m okay with that. In short, “What you need, Stephen, is a boyfriend”.
So, What I’m looking for:
- Into, or at least curious about, but absolutely not overboard about or actively disdainful of stuff I’m into. such as…
- Video, Strategy, and RolePlaying Games
- Outdoors and Athleticy things (blading, swimming, soccer, weight training, hiking, camping, etc)
- Cooking, or, better yet, eating my cooking and doing dishes 😉
- Vegetarianism
- Progressive Politics
- All things computer
- Social Science/Urban planning/Public Policy
- Must be able to tolerate messiness and net addiction.
- Should at least look like he performs some sort of athleticish activity on a semi-regular basis
- Quiet, sensitive but not reluctant to share what he’s thinking and feeling
- Somewhere near 28 years old (the closer the better, but I’m willing to bend significantly on this one)
- Able to understand most of what I say without lengthy explanations/simplifications
- Articulate
- Adventurous
- Interested in trying weird/new/different things
- Thoughtful
- Single & Out
- Open to open relationships
- Playful
- etc.
Clearly I ought to be dating myself, but since that’s not an option, I’m looking for someone pretty similar.
Well…
It is always reassuring to find that I”m not the only narciscist in my friendsgrouping.
Wow, a bullet list like this is a good idea, as much for self-discovery as anything else. It’s true that opposites attract, but studies find that people who are similar stay together. I imagine my “self description” and “ideal mate” profiles would look pretty similar. But I love your “not overboard about…” caveat. That’s an easy mistake to make when, say, browsing online personals. “Oh, this person likes anime too. We’ll get along great.” Then a month later you find yourself clawing your way out of his Tenchi poster covered bedroom.
Hey! You’re describing me! 🙂
That’s great, how do you feel about flying out here for a date? Well, except for the whole “taken by the wonderful” thing. =)

He’s describing me too, but after he met me he moved very very far away.
Re: descriptions
Oh come on! I’m sure it was just a coincidence. 🙂
Re: descriptions
Everything happens for a reason 😉
Re: descriptions
Yeah, what said. Unless it was you who turned my boss against me! =)
you should totally friendster that list and see what happens (yes, friendster is also a verb). although the current state of the bulletin board would only allow your friends to see it initially, we could all re-post it as a “check out my friend” thing to our friends and so on.
