I'm sober and enjoy passionate conversation. I like/love: - my dog - coffee - live music (metal, classic rock, jazz, swing, classical, etc) - cooking, especially trying new recipes - reading - horror films (both good and bad) - uncensored comedy - hiking/walking outside in refreshing scenery - puzzles - experiences over things I don't care for: - social media (I don't have an insta-twitter-snap-agram) - excessive consumption of unnecessary goods - my cat (but we tolerate each other) Turn ons: - transparency - comfortable silence - a good sense of humor - thoughtfulness - eye contact - ambition

Emotional and mental drainage. We are completely overloaded and expected to care and react to a ridiculous amount of stimuli.

I guess, if I'm being honest, I sm an introvert that loves reading, analyzing complicated problems and systems, and engineering solutions that once people understand, they view as art. That said, I can do extrovert well enough to lead a team of actual extroverts, keep them tasked and occupied, and accomplish whatever needs to be accomplished through other people as well. Been in the Army for about a decade, and I may stick around for another couple. I feel like modern society is fairly shallow, and without any real needs going unmet, people become shallow and superficial. Being in a system where what someone is capable of becomes important does a lot to make me appreciate who people are behind the face they wear for the rest of society. I guess I am looking for someone to date here, but I'm not looking all that hard. The internet is already so superficial, it's almost impossible to know if you have someone worth keeping. I like making stuff, anything from computer code to machine parts, fixing things, hiking, sailing, and music that isn't too angry. I prefer cardio to lifting weights, a good trail run will clear my head. I may come across as arrogant, but honestly outside of a few fields where I have dived rather deep, I don't see myself as very smart. I'm always looking to learn from people who do different things, especially if they do them well.

Are you superstitious?
