Hi,

Firstly, I’m here because I’m looking for a real, empathetic, mature human. Dating apps can be pretty cold. Let’s click. I’m also open to new friends.

A little about me:

• I’m a great cuddler. The best, actually. I should probably compete professionally…

• I have a good job designing software for a giant, evil health insurance company. I work from home in Center City, Philly.

• I’m an indie rocker and generally creative. I write songs and letters that don’t suck. I’m prepared to defend that statement. When we match up, I’ll send links to my music if you’re interested.

• Philly is my default city. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived in Philly, NYC, Upstate NY, DC, Czech Republic, Israel, Houston… I was a consultant, so I moved around a lot. That said, part of me dreams of escaping the city to someplace with water, trees, and parking. Let’s fantasize about our dream house. That’s always fun…

• Attraction is important. I’ll send pics once you reach out. I’ll expect the same.

• Vaxed, boosted, and regularly STI tested.

• I'm into some things that I can't mention here. You might want to peruse my other posts if you're curious...

About you:

• Being genuinely smart is far more interesting than being intellectual. I like sexy but not trashy. You must be empathetic and emotionally intelligent.

• Smart is sexy. Clever is irresistible. I often want to say that I’m clever but then I’m reminded of the following quote:

Here are some things I like:

• Movies: Wings of Desire, The Jerk, Secretary, Reuben & Ed, Sid & Nancy, Bill & Ted, Harold & Maude, Blade Runner, Annie Hall, Rear Window, Zombieland, Better Off Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Shaun of the Dead, Spinal Tap!, Pootie Tang, Can’t Hardly Wait.

• TV: Bob’s Burgers, Always Sunny, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Community, Troy and Abed in the Morning, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly (pretty much anything sci-fi), Sherlock, MST3k, I Think You Should Leave, Fleabag, Broad City, Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers, What We Do In The Shadows.

• Books: (Lots of the classics) Salinger, Kundera, Confederacy of Dunces, To Kill a Mockingbird (Fun fact: this was written by Bruce Lee’s sister, Harper.), Day by Day Armageddon.

• Bands: Haywood, Archers of Loaf, Seam, Softies (Those are all 90’s indie bands), Elliot Smith, Wet Leg, Frightened Rabbit, Phoebe Bridgers.

I don't usually favorites, though. It can feel like a kindergarten activity. "So what's your favorite color, little Billy?"

Looking forward to hearing from you…
