About Me

I am going to try to give an honest assessment of myself. I won't try to avoid the bad things, because they are bound to come out in the end.I am a bit of a nerd. Not the science-fiction, video-game sort. I guess I try to be an intellectual, and I don't think I am a total failure at that. I am working on a PhD, and I read a lot, write a lot, and generally try to understand how the world works. 1. I have ideas and opinions about many things, but I believe that being convinced I am wrong about something is not a sign of weakness. Although you are welcome to try to change my mind about that.2. I find that I can talk to some people for hours on end, and others I can't make a conversation last 5 minutes. I have no idea how to predict whether someone will fit in either category.3. I pretty much never get angry. As with most traits, this is a great asset to have as well a great weakness.4. I like to talk about things on an intelligent level. I study economics, so I tend to have a pragmatic/rational approach to philosophy, politics, world issues, etc. I love to talk about anything, particularly with people who disagree with me entirely.5. I believe there is not such thing as evil. It exists only in the way darkness or cold exist; it is an absence.6. I believe you can earnestly, sincerely, and with all your heart not have a strong opinion about something or believe in a middle ground. Being passionate or interested in something does not have to mean advocating an extreme.7. I tend to be the person people take their problems to. I think this is because I don't respond with platitudes.8. I believe it is OK to go to a movie alone.9. I am rarely scared, except of squid and octopi, which terrify me.10. I am very loyal. This can allow people to take advantage of me, but I choose this over being cynical.11. I believe the Leafs will win the cup soon.I am not really sure what I am looking for, anything from friends to dating to a reasonably serious relationship, but not a one-night-stand. Also, I have never ever been able to describe what I look for in a date. Completely opposite characteristics can be really awesome on different people. If I tried to describe the sort of person I am looking to meet I would end up eliminating others, who I might rather meet. None of this means I don't know what I am looking for in life. I know exactly what I am looking for, I just don't know where you fit in until I meet you.FavouritesBook: East of EdenMovie: The Shawshank RedemptionBand: The PoguesTV Show: M*A*S*HFood: Pineapple with chocolate sauceOne final thing, I keep going back and forth about whether to include this. I am a grad student, but I am decently funded from school and have some savings, so I am not broke. In some ways I feel it is tacky to put this, but I can see how some people might legitimately want to know this, and feel they shouldn't bring it up. So there it is, not rich (yet), not broke.Ask if you want to know anything else. I like to wander and chat. I also am fine with things like coffee or drinks. It seems like those are essentially just facades for having a conversation, but if someone really enjoys cafes or pubs, I do too.But I also do like to let the date decide what to do. As long as it is not something like a club or a movie, where we are likely to not notice who we are there with, I am fairly indifferent, so if the date has a preference, I would rather go along with that.

    I am a very active person. I play tennis, volleyball and golf every week. I own and operate a health and fitness company. When I'm not working on the business, you can find me on the golf course, hanging with my buddies and with my family. I love to travel. I've been all over the world and looking for a partner in crime to do it all over again.Drum and bass and Techno are by far my favorite types of music. Carl Cox has been my favorite DJ since I was 11 :)I am looking for someone that is mature and knows what they want and isn't afraid to go and get it. I want someone that likes to have fun and doesn't play games, someone who can just be themselves and not put on a show.Some things I've noticed are mandatory for most women on here:Job? Yes (a very good one too)Car? Yes (I love my car)Live with parents? Hell no! Been on my own since I was 20Family man? Yes, I love spending time with my family, especially my awesome nephews. Anything else just ask.. Coffee? Drink?

    To behold the beauty of another character, which inspires a new interest in our own; behold the beauty lodged in a human being, with such vivacity of apprehension that I am *** home to inquire that I am not deformity itself; to behold in another the expression of a love so high that it assures itself - assures itself also to me every possible casualty except my unworthiness; these are degrees on the scale of human happiness to which they have ascended.Own a house.Own a car.Own a soul.Own a cat.Want to cross the Rockies on foot.Want to build a house.Want a dog (cats are a little boring).Want to write a book.Like cycling.Like pubs.Like walking/hiking.Like people.I am not an alcoholic despite the >3/week selection.I believe in my heart that people are inherently good. It is my experience that tells me otherwise.I do not fear that I will fail; this is an inevitable fact of living. I fear that which is unknown; that I may eventually succeed.That I might burn in eternity this pain I feel does not fear me. That I might forget it, to breach in trust not what I believe but what she believes, does fear me. No preference. To be later determined.

    I\'m pretty simple. I\'m easy going and I enjoy having fun. Don\'t really enjoy the bar scene. Looking for someone that is interested in cars maybe could teach me a thing or two about them.
