Alright, they gave me unlimited space in which do to this, so I apologize in advance for how long this is going to be, but I'm going to try to divide it out into sections so people can just find the information they're most interested in.
Physical: So, apparently having all your teeth is a big thing. Yes, I have all my teeth. In fact, I take great pride in the care I take of my teeth. Apart from that, however, I don't work out 'all the time', but at least often enough to keep myself in good condition. My bodi is as capable today as it was 10-15 years ago. I'm not on any medications (for either physical nor mental ailments). Nothing is broken down, or hurting. After really long periods of standing, my feet get tired, but that's about it.
Diet: I like all types of foods. It would be faster to list what I don't care for; cheap seafood, mushrooms, coconut. Apart from that, anything is pretty fair game. I like to eat healthier, to keep in good health, but it doesn't always go that way, and I am by no means any kind of health nut.
Personality: If I were to define myself with two words, they would be logical and patient. I don't get violent, I rarely even see the need to raise my voice. I believe physical violence is the result of a person that doesn't have the mental capacity to think through their issues. Generally, I'm relaxed, calm, patient. I know a sense of humor is really appreciated in these kinds of places. I can find humor in anything, but I'll be honest, I'm not funny. Not really. My humor is very subtle. But, for someone who's able to listen and catch it, it can be hilarious. I'm filled with sarcasm and dry wit. And, anyone can say this, but I am honest... I see no further reason to lie. I used to, when I was younger, to keep myself out of trouble. But, I've learned that this just compounds the trouble when it eventually comes. It means I'm also less likely to simply humor someone, but I guess there's always a trade off.
Drugs: I don't do any kind of drugs. I don't mind marijuana, but I don't do it myself, mostly due to employment reasons. I drink, but I don't have to drink. I drink alcohol because I enjoy it, but not in large amounts. I am very aware of my reasonable limits. I like more hard liquors, but under the right circumstances, I would have a beer/wine.
Education: I have a bachelor's in computer science, and multiple certifications.
Employment: I'm a computer technician and have gotten pretty good at what I do.
Politics: I am considered a centrist that leans left. I think the answers to most of the political issues have perfectly reasonable middle ground solutions that neither side is willing to actually look at. I find extremism to be frustrating, from both sides of the political aisle.
Religion: None. Not that I don't have my beliefs, I consider myself a reasonably spiritual person. It's just that my beliefs don't fit into any represented category. I believe in the reason and rationalisation of athiests. I believe the teachings of Jesus were good (and that most Christians don't follow them). I believe the tenants of Satanism hold a lot of merit. I like the philosophy of Buddhism. There's something to learn from all the religions, but I don't think any of them are ideal.
Kids: I do have two kids (older teens) that live with me (and one more that doesn't), but they are getting older and will be leaving the nest soon. I have found this to be the ideal time to start worrying about them a little less and focusing more on my own needs and desires. Though, it should be noted, I've had that fun, now I'm ready for something new. Meaning, I have no desire to have more kids, now. So, if you're looking to breed, I'm not what you're looking for.
Family: There's an old saying that says something about the way a guy treats his mother. I not only have a good, positive relationship with my mother, but with my entire family. Unfortunately, my family lives multiple states away, so they're not too much of a factor, but when we see each other, it's always a good time.
Animals: I have two cats and a dog, all of them rescues, in some way or another. I do have a passive love for animals. I would rather scoop a bug out of my house and set them outside than kill them, if it can be avoided. My views on animals have left others
Hobbies: The list of things I don't enjoy would be a lot shorter... I don't much care for sports (watching, not playing, I actually enjoy playing sports), hunting, or reality TV (be it game shows, Kardashians, baking shows, cop dramas, etc). That's about it. Anything else you come up with, chances are I'll be down. Museum? Sure. Concert? Absolutely. Walk out in the woods or camping? I'm down. Sit and watch TV all day? I have a massive collection. Learn to cook? Dance? Sky dive? Bowling? Just go out for a drive out into the country? It all sounds good to me. But, I will be honest, I am a huge nerd. I do enjoy video games and the comic book genre. The movies, the books, the costumes, etc. I play board games and sometimes even tabletop RPGs. In the end, I do the things I enjoy.
s*x: Let's be honest, sexual compatibility is important. You can be good with everything else about a person, but if there's no sexual interest, no mutual desire, you have a friendship. It's that sexual drive that moves a friendship to a relationship. Like most people, I have the standard limits; no scat, no permanent physical damage, no children/animals. Apart from those limits, there isn't much that isn't worth at least making an attempt. I don't believe everytime a person has s*x it should be something intense or unique, but it is good to every now and again spide up the life. I have had a dominance role in a **** relationship or two, but I'm not a sadist, so if you're looking for some pain, I'm not the person you're looking for.
The Darkness: So, with all that, why am I here? Doesn't sound like much gothic or alternative. See, I tried those other sites, the vanilla sites. But, I realized there is something within me that people from those sites can't deal with, something that would make them too uncomfortable. Something that people on sites like this thrive in, something they cherish and crave. That darkness within everyone. But, the people here, they don't hide from it, they don't deny that darkness like most others do. So, being here, I'm looking for someone that doesn't run from that darkness, but seeks to draw it out. I'm not goth. I never have been. But, I do appreciate and embrace the darkness that resides within us all.
If, at this point, there is anything I have missed, please, feel free to follow up. I'd be happy to discuss any of the above, or anything that I may not have already addressed. Thank you for your time.
