Seeking
Friendship, relaxed date, or zombie apocalypse partner (must supply own weapon; food, other benefits included; guaranteed survival).
Diversity
The best interactions are those that allow the full range of human emotion, temperament, and thought. A moment of laughter; a moment of banter; ...of tears; ...of anger; ...of support; ...of discourse; ...of adoration. Who can satisfy such multiplicity but he who accepts life whole?
Revealing a key so jagged as to fit the odd shape of your heart: a dictator, a leader, a supporter, a friend, a helpmate, a servant.
Dualistic
A both/and philosophy of life�contrasting but not contradicting�in a world of both great gravity and levity.
Dependence and independence.
Rules and freedom.
Virility and tenderness.
Protocol and ease.
Respect and informality.
A firm hand with a soft touch.
Dressing up for the night then playing tag in the rain.
A believer�
�in both inequality and equality:
Look up to me; look at me; and make me feel unworthy.
�in both tears and laughter:
Cry when I scold you; banter with me; and amuse me with your wit.
�in both leadership and equivalence:
Listen to me obediently; think with me equitably; and guide me to your needs.
�in both order and uniqueness:
Exhibit consistency; reveal your adaptability; and douse me with feminine unpredictability.
Also
Hard-working: summacum laude graduate.
Selfless: happy when others are.
Patient: listens well and enjoys helping.
Sensitive: susceptible to damage and careful with others.
Trustworthy: integrity is a glue for all other traits.
Genuine: speaks his mind.
Attentive: keen to facial expressions, tone.
Passionate: life is short, so don't care? Life is short, so care.
Dominant: enjoys control over situations, responsibility for others.
Clean and organized.
Witty, fun, and energetic.
Not...
...simple but multifaceted.
...acquiescent but challenging.
...easy to get along with, but sincere to those with whom I do.
What I�m doing with my life:
Working as an engineer in Corpus Christi, TX, 1000 miles away from home...well, my old home. Wait, I don't have a home anymore? Just this bachelor pad, ...and I have to take of it?
I�m really good at:
...thinking, listening, planning, and humor.
Engineer, reader, folk psychologist, moderate geek, musicphile.
The first things people usually notice about me:
I behave differently to different people, doing what I think best for the situation.
Some will say, "That stoic couldn't make a candle move," while others say "that terror needs to take life more seriously," while another might add, "that brain does nothing but read," while one last chimes in, "that joker keeps me
."
Have you not heard? Life is filled with an enormous array of situations requiring 1000 different responses.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food:
The phone book--though, I do get the characters confused.
The Walking Dead; The Office; Big Bang Theory.
Elliott Smith; Scala; Boyce Avenue; Aphex twin; Bon Iver; Deftones; Rihanna; my girl T Swift (she just gets me). Covers of songs! I love gender- or genre-switched songs.
Acer; Android and Google; Porsche; Honda.
Chocolate cheese cake richer than the sum of Swiss bank accounts. Olive Garden (when I want to feel like family). Restaurants with unique atmospheres. Every food group every day. It's not dessert unless it's chocolate.
No thank you to fiction; you're welcome; and I'm sorry but I'm not going to apologize.
The six things I could never do without:
Toothbrush, computer, book, comedy.
Oh, six?
Another toothbrush and book, then, please.
I spend a lot of time thinking about:
Evolution
He who loves your beauty ignores your brain and vice versa. What agony she bears who possesses such a robust heart and sensibility.
I cannot value you more than you do. You create a gift pure, a desire strong, and a need continued.
Liberal ends from conservative means. We can dance, joke, and be merry but only if we can first respect, honor, and serve.
What beauty comes later which does not come first. The growth in giving trust, devotion, submission, sacrifice, and self. Each a marvelous treasure which plunges to lost depths by being untied hastily.
For three things are necessary: 1) who you are 2) who you are to him and 3) how barriers fall--including how barriers begin.
Seeking:
You�
Selfless: �find pleasure in giving happiness (�but also desirous)
Meek: �make peace (�but also dramatic)
Sweet: �show charm and pleasantness (�but also bitter)
Trustworthy: �conduct self with foresight (�but also mischievous)
Positive: �see the good in everyone (�but also realistic)
Animated: �invigorate man with energy (�but also calm)
Fun: �smile and choose happiness (�but also prudent)
Intelligent: �grasp other�s wants and needs (�but also childish)
Strong: �realize expectations, even through agony (�but also weak)
You are a friend and an enemy. A companion and an opponent. A daughter and a mother. A curator and an adventurer. A goof and a pedant. A trembling girl and a courageous woman.
You can follow and lead; �invite people in and cast them away; �whisper a sweet word and spew venom; �build a man up�motivated and virile�and kick out his pedestal.
You are uniquely you�undefinable. You have some ethereal Otherness, which torments varieties of joy for being ungraspable.
Feminine: receptive�not passive
Who confused your devotion for foolishness? Who mistook your neediness for weakness? Who looked at your adaptability and called you formless? What barbarian misconstrued your warmth as pain? What dupe proclaimed he understood your emotions? What fool tried to narrow all that you see, when you all along were wiser than he?
Beauty can give men pause, but femininity paralyzes. Her understanding of tone, tact, and tolerance; her implementation of expression, elegance, and energy; her gravitation to gentleness, gaiety, and generosity.
Complementarity
Don�t be me; complement me.
We call it war when two parties covet the same object�a piece of land, a bushel of wheat, or a decision�and we call it trade when two parties have a mutually beneficial excess and deficiency.
Similarities make friendship; differences make love. For each crest, a trough.
If you would disarm, be not the wall but the water beneath. There is no end to his fight but want of beginning. Threatened, he will do anything to overthrow you; contented, there exists no pain he would not suffer if it would liberate you of the tiniest of damages.
He is delighted by being understood�by merely feeling the empathy of someone who sees him as a man: his outlook, sensitivities, ego, and goals. If her empathy is instead satisfaction, his delight is instead intoxication.
Monopoly
Would you rob a man of his control to compensate for a misunderstanding of yours?
If you feel a lack of control, consider what you mean by control. Perhaps it is not a deficiency of devices but simply a misconstruing of meaning.
The better she is, the more she has...
.....The more she loves, the more she gives:
..........Trust, Defense, Body, Emotions, Respect, Future.
Things Hated
A deep love for femininity. A distrust, dissonance, discordance, and disagreement with arrogance, pride, obnoxiousness, ostentation, and general confusion of sex.
- Sardonic sarcasm
- The mere �live-laugh-love� type�most of all when �love� denotes promiscuity
- Contempt for qualities I call good (e.g. carefulness, niceness, honesty, leadership, etc.)
- Threats of termination
- Assumption of intelligence or control
- Choice of pure jerks and then surprise by outcomes
Bear Fruit, Gelding
Who is this woman with knife clenched bemoaning Chivalry�s death?
�And all the time�such is the tragi-comedy of our situation�we continue to clamour for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that our civilization needs more �drive�, or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or �creativity�. In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.� (C.S. Lewis: The Abolition of Man)
Compare any contradiction between your desires and actions. You cannot obtain that thing whose prerequisites you renounce. If you would be loved, love and be lovable.
You should message me if:
...you know how to push plastic buttons to form words, sentences, and perhaps even emoji.
I'm new to Corpus and would enjoy meeting a girl with whom I can hang out and see the city. Yes, I have "abnormal" views; no, I won't force them at you--nor, frankly, will I expound on them unwarrantedly. I have a "normal" side, which is most prudent to begin with. Nor am I looking for you to exhibit the detailed ideals; being funny, kind, trustworthy, and other is the best start.
This is a profile, which I write seriously out of respect for you. You don't think I walk down the street thus, right? If you find this profile too long, intricate, or complex, I'll forgive you for calling me punctilious, and you'll forgive me for calling you wispy. For I believe there is more in heaven and earth, Horatio, than is dreamt of in your philosophy.
A good, well-rounded guy. Do not blame anyone when you choose jerks pure ("...like picking up trash in a dress"). Comfort is my second priority, and a cup-o-something will be good.
