DISCLAIMER: I'll date anyone once (purely for the experience). No Christians; I have hungry lions at home. No moms, sorry, it's just too complex of a situation and I'd probably short-circuit.

Success tip for dating me: Talk about things I'm interested in, have conversational reciprocity...it's more simple than you'd like to imagine ;)

Hobbies-see also interests. Writing, eliminating my stupid fears and insecurities, sleeping-then dreaming-then trying to figure out my dreams and my relation to them, speaking my ideas/values, making melodies, playing with Melody (the doggy), video games, drinking and hanging with friends.

Challenge yourself. Most of your mental videos will never actualize-they only keep you from truly being yourself and being happy.

I'll be straightforward and say I'm an indoor person. Nothing personal against nature...

My taste in music is wide and varies. The top of the list includes: Buckethead, Dream Theater, Herbie Hancock, Joe Satriani, King Crimson, Marilyn Manson, Marty Friedman, Metallica, Nightwish, Porcupine Tree, Rachmaninoff, Rush, Tool.
Hate: most FM radio music

Looks-I don't want to go too in depth here because I probably won't rule out anyone on looks alone (unless you're missing teeth, eyeballs or have an incredible growth tumor or something like that). No beached whales either, I want someone who values self-esteem and health rather than ZOMG FOODZ!!

Turn-ons include: Dyke-spike or any short hair is good, dark hair if not dyed is preferable. Raised cheekbones, slender body type, and has a sense of style (beyond what's normal). Goth/punk/rock star style. Warm personality. High self-esteem. Intelligence and ability to communicate it. Knowledge of science, art, psychology, and philosophy are awesome things I love to talk about. Aloofness is a giant turn off; if you prefer power games to loving relationships, please don't bother. Many other men will put up with it, I won't.

Coffee is a great idea. Going for ice cream, bowling, the DIA, and billiards is always fun. Dinner and a movie sucks.
