Male

39

I’m 39 years old, 6’, 160 lbs. and really white w/ blonde hair, blue / green eyes & freckles. I have large black tribal tats and my septum, tongue, labret & lobes are pierced.

I’ve been divorced twice. Both marriages were very fun & happy and both came to abrupt endings…not by my choice. The relationships lasted 6 & 10 years respectively, the second of which ended in early 2006. Despite my track record, I like being married and definitely plan to marry again. I like cute & petite girls. I typically like to be the elder in a relationship. Race is not important, although I will confess to having a thing for Asians. Both ex-wives were Korean.

Although, I'm a former Marine, I’m usually quite soft-spoken and tend not to talk too much until I get to know you a bit. People often misinterpret this as arrogance or anger and are surprised to learn that I’m just a bit shy. Apparently, I don’t look like I should be shy. After warming up to me, many people have told me I was intimidating at first meeting. I’m trying to fix that, but I’m slightly socially inept. I mean, I am social. I’ll go to gatherings. I’ll have great conversation with people I know and with people I meet, but I rarely, if ever, start conversation with a stranger. I have tried and it usually feels awkward, like I’m intruding or something. In my mind, I’m totally approachable and my twisted rationale is…if he / she wanted to talk to me, he / she would be.

I have a sort of dignity about me. I don’t play the clown. My humor is dark and wicked, usually in the form of jabs slid into a volley of jokes. Mine would be the one that takes the topic to a whole new level. Friends have told me that I “escalate”. I’m not sure if they’ve used the term in its proper context, but what they mean is that I step things up a couple notches at a time. I love shock value and making statements that are borderline socially acceptable. I’ve been known to do the totally unexpected in order to get a reaction.

I don’t drink. I do like going to bars with friends. I drink ginger ale on the rocks in a whiskey glass. Alcohol just doesn’t do it for me. I wish it did, but I’ve usually got some sort of mood enhancement happening. And I can drive them home.

My interests and hobbies include:

Black Rock City, regional burns, local burner events & gatherings.

Fire performance. I’ve been spinning poi since ’02. I’m slowly picking up meteors and want to start playing with rope dart.

Geodesic domes, yurts & other eccentric structures both permanent and temporary. I built a 30’ diameter 4V dome from ¾” EMT. I hope to eventually build a yurt or dome home to live in.

Costumes & costume making, Leather & leather-working, kilts, boots, goggles, etc. I’m learning to sew better, but have yet to get my own machine.

Tattoos, piercings, brandings and other body modifications. I started piercing in ’91. Most of mine have been in since around that time. I haven’t pierced anyone since ’98 when my tattoo artists closed up shop and I no longer had access to an autoclave. I would still pierce friends if I had that access, but it’s not currently a major priority.

Altered states, isolation / sensory deprivation tanks, OBE. I also have a strong interest in tantra, which, with no current partner, remains merely an interest.

Alternative lifestyles, sub-cultures, secret societies and the underground in general.

BDSM, Shibari rope bondage, electro-stimulation and so many more things I’d like to explore more. Although, technically a switch, the vast majority of my experience has been as a top. I’m not a 24/7 type.

Music. I’ve listened to a wide variety of genres, mostly experimental, including IDM, Dark Ambient, Power Electronics / Japanoise, Post-Rock, Industrial, EBM, old-school punk and the whole spectrum of beats under the “rave” umbrella. Lately, for the last 5 years or so I’ve really gotten into indie stuff, especially those that have an electronic edge. I like genre hybrids like electro-folk and indie rap.

Hiking, camping, orienteering & survival.
