City-identified, over-educated, underemployed, fatigued by the prevalence of the churched and breeding-insistent on other sites. I am seeking someone to read in the same room with, or company for catching a movie at the Siskel or Music Box or Landmark; someone who is happy to dine out or cook together at home. I will go out to see specific performances, but am definitely not interested in any bar or club "scene." There is the possibility of decidedly non-rational romance, if we meet and our pheromones like one another. I currently do not live with companion animals, but have cherished the company of non-human mammals in the past and would like to do so in the future.
"Turn ons": acumen without pedantry, grooming without vanity, courtesy, punctuality, social awareness, broad shoulders, skill at Scrabble. "Turn offs": people who's profiles consist of a list of superlatives and then end with "modest," the prevalence of cliches such as "laid back," lack of appropriate grammar and punctuation, shirtless profile pictures, littering, under-tipping servers, and Republican party membership. Could we end up working on the Sunday NYT crossword together?
