My Full-Length OKCupid Profile
My self-summary
Divorced for over 5 years; have a teenage daughter who lives with me most of the time; music fanatic – music is my life and religion – only thing I love more than music is my daughter; listen to all types of music, but alternative, punk, 70s and 80s are my favorite types; go to live shows of local bands; am a nerd, geek and dork; smartass: likes movies, tv shows, books, comic books as well as science fiction in general; like science - especially psychology/sociology, biology and astronomy; interested in spirituality – agnostic but something of a skeptic, find Buddhism and paganism interesting - do not believe in the bible; interested in philosophy - especially ethics; mild interested in politics – mostly left of center; have travelled – studied in England for one year and did some travelling in Europe, as well as living in southern Africa for 6 ½ years teaching English and travelling during the holidays; am transgendered and an occasional crossdresser, but mostly straight.

What I’m doing with my life
I’m really good at
The first things people usually notice about me
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
This was so freaking long, I just made it into its own blog post! - OMGeek
Food – Mexican and Italian (but can’t eat much of either because I’m on a low fat diet!)
The six things I could never do without
my daughter
music
MY music
my ipod
my anti-depressants
I suppose my cat – though some days that feels less true than others!
I spend a lot of time thinking about
my daughter – her schooling, her future, her dating, etc.; music as well as tv shows, movies and books; science; what if scenarios; worrying if I forgot to do something; something witty to put on Facebook and Twitter or how to respond to a friend’s text.
On a typical Friday night I am
probably not having as much fun as I wish that I was having. For a long time, my daughter wasn’t old enough to be left alone. And now money is really tight. But I do try to get out when I can and do things like seeing my favorite local bands.
Otherwise, I’ve probably rented a dvd and am watching that.
When my computer was working properly, I wasted too many Friday nights surfing the net.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I’m looking for
Ages 20-99
Located near me
For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners, casual sex
You should message me if
I AM looking for a steady girlfriend, but I am NOT looking for a wife, life partner or soul mate. I may or may not want one of those in the future, but not at this time in my life.
I’m looking for someone I can go to live bar shows, movies and dinner with as well as hang out at home and chat or watch a movie with. Someone I can chat with or talk on the phone with. But at this time, I am NOT looking for someone to live with or share my life 24/7 with. Don’t mind sharing numerous nights and days, just not all of them!
Hard for me to say what kind of woman I’ve into because I’ve dated many different types of women – blacks, whites, a Wiccan, a Catholic, an atheist, a political conservative and Republican, a couple of Africans, an Englishwoman, tall women, short women, petite women, bigger women…
Most of them have been rather confident and strong-willed. Most have also been open-minded and tolerant.
They also tended to be between 4 years younger to 2 years older, though I’ve gone as far as almost 6 years younger to 7 years older. I’d be willing to try outside of that range though.
And since the divorce, they’ve tended to be mothers. I just relate better to a fellow parent. They get the change of priorities that happen when you have a child.
And obviously, I want a woman who enjoys music. She does NOT have the same taste as me. Considering how expansive my taste is, that’d be next to impossible. In fact, I would prefer that she didn’t have THAT close of taste to mine, so we can introduce each other to new music. But it would be nice if we had some overlapping taste in music.
Also appreciate women who good at witty quips! Ones that can give it as well as they get it are a huge plus!
Oh, and no tobacco smokers! My daughter and I are both allergic to tobacco smoke.
