Not sure where to start. I'm a college-educated guy with interests in computers, martial arts, science, history, languages, and lots of other stuff. I'm a bit of a gamer, but I'm not the stereotypical gamer-guy who sits around all day and never bathes.. I have a life, I'm well dressed, I'm clean, and have no abusive habits. I speak a little Japanese, I've studied Kung-Fu and Ninjitsu, I've been interviewed on television, but I don't watch TV myself. I have a car, and am generally "not a loser".

Ok, so that's enough random stuff. People tell me that I'm usually pretty easy to get along with, I'm tolerant of people who have different ideas and opinions as long as they are polite. However, I rarely back down from a good debate about politics/history/religion/pizza/whatever unless it gets immature and unproductive. My daily routine however doesn't really give me a lot of opportunity to "get out and meet people" so ... here I am ... trying to meet a like-minded gal.

My social life: 

My social life mostly involves my geeky friends. I've got gamer pals, networking/IT pals, and even a few non-geeks that I've picked up along the way. I'm fond of going out for dinner, going to the movies, just hanging around the house watching a movie and chit chatting, and of course various forms of gaming or other geeky activities.

My insides: 

I'm told that I have a fun sense of humor. I tend to be animated with people I'm comfortable around, and enjoy the humor of others. I've been told by women I've dated in the past that their parents liked me quite a bit.

My outsides: 

I've got no tats, piercings, or major visible scars (though do have a couple scars that are not normally visible). I place a lot of value on personal hygiene and bathe every day. I've got rosacea, which makes my face appear -very- red in photographs but in person it's not as pronounced and few people comment on it.

Occupation: 

I've been working in information technology for about the last ten years, and I have a bachelors degree in IT Management. I'm also working on finishing two books that I'd like to publish - one is a game setting, one is non-fiction on economics.

Education Level: 
College Graduate
I would like to meet: 

I strongly prefer non-smokers, but it doesn't bother me if a gal likes to drink. I'm not religious, and she has to not try to convert me. I don't like shallowness, and don't practice it myself. If you tell me to stand back because you're about to solve a mundane problem with excessive use of science, you get serious bonus points. I'm the type of guy who is willing to put a lot into a relationship, so she should be willing to put a lot back into it my way .. one-sided things never work out well.

Lastly, I want to point out that I'm on here to actually meet people .. I don't enjoy just saying hi once or twice then fading out of contact, so ... yeah. If I strike up a conversation, or reply to yours, it means I'm interested. :-)

Your thoughts in a nutshell
My thoughts on Smoking: 

I've got an abnormally strong sense of smell. I can smell a smoker from 20 feet away outdoors on a windy day. Please don't smoke.

My thoughts on Religion: 

Religion plays no part in my life whatsoever.

My thoughts on Politics: 

I've got rather strong thoughts on politics, and it's a topic I follow closely. If you're into the tea party, we wouldn't be a good match.

My thoughts on Pets: 

I had cats growing up and enjoy them, but my current place is too small for one.

My thoughts on Kids: 

I've got no kids, but would like one/some eventually.

My thoughts on Alcohol: 

I don't drink, but don't mind when other people do. I've been the DD all my life.

My thoughts on Drugs: 

I don't do drugs, and don't like it when other people do drugs.

My thoughts on Hygiene: 

Hygiene is very important to me, both in myself and in others. I take great pains not to smell like anything and to be clean every day when I head out the door.

My thoughts on Fashion: 

I dress like a square when I go out in public, button shirt tucked into a pair of slacks. I don't own any jeans. Around the house I've been known to change into sweatpants and a t-shirt.
