First up, I hate writing these sort of things. It involves a degree of self-inspection that leaves me feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Where to start? I'm a 27 year old (should be old enough to know better?) male living in Reading, UK. I'm an incredibly relaxed and laid back individual. The past has happened, and there is no value in getting stressed over that, and the future, well problems there might never happen, so winding myself up just seems daft.

At heart I'm hopelessly idealistic, full of romantised views on how the world *ought* to be, and yet deeply cynical.

I'm deeply, deeply curious about the world around me and the people in it. New and shiny things and people fascinate me. I never quite lost that childlike drive to ask "But why?". I just phrase it better these days.

On Love and Lust..

I'm single, and I'm relatively comfortable with that fact. I'm not one of these people who feels somehow incomplete without a partner. I'm not completely blind to the fact that maybe there is someone out there who is able to intrigue and captivate me, and is able to deal with my quirks and kinks, but if they exist then I've never met them, and I'm not about to put myself through torment looking for them. On the other hand, if anyone wants a slightly worn, hopeless romantic thats in need of constant intellectual stimulation, I just might know where to find one...

I do read the comments (and the profiles of anyone who posts a comment). To get me to respond usually requires either a question from you, even one of the "Hope you are well?" variety, or for something about you or your comment to actually catch my eye and provoke my interest. As much as my ego secretly loves the "I like XYZ, have a 10" messages, I'm unlikely to respond to them unless I'm really bored.

Don't expect an auto-magical rating just because you gave me one. Ratings from me are rare, and go to people who genuinely spark my interest.

Finally, cult inviters. my rational minds knows that you aren't going to read this. It knows that you just randomly spam invites at people you spot on one of the profile lists without actually reading their profiles. Despite that fact, I am going to write this anyway. I am not interested in your cult for beautiful people, or your cult for fun and chatting that has nothing to distinguish itself from the hundreds of other identical cults. Please don't bother sending them to me. I only delete them anyway.

Yes, I have such things. Yes, the contact details are there for use, and no, I don't mind in the slightest if weird and wonderful people who I've never met before feel like saying hello. That said, if for some bizarre reason you do decide to add me then please actually bother to introduce yourself. I like talking to new people, but I also like to actually know at least something about the names on my contact list.
