In His Own Words
About Him
I could give you a thousand reasons why you should NOT get to know me (I'll be the most challenging person you've ever met!),but having said that, let's get it on! I prize honesty above all (hate hypocrisy and arrogance) and love people to be open about the things that matter. For me, that includes self-knowledge (the unexamined life is not worth living!). I pride myself on my tolerance. Philosophically (and I guess I should know!), I accept Nietzsche's position that he seeks no followers, so there: I'm an iconoclast. For fun, I play chess and I love watching competitive sport. Finally, I love my pets and nature in general. Whether or not there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow will be the challenge for those brave enough to venture forth.
About His Ideal Match
Someone who has made a contribution toward improving our perilous predicament. She needs to be resilient but still hopeful and compassionate. She should thrive on books, ideas, truth, deep discussions, people... life. It is often the simple things that hold the key to life's most intense joy and meaning. If all of this sounds like a hopeless search for an impossible dream, recall the rubric above. 'Nuff said.
