Newly and suddenly single. I'm wandering and seeing my reactions for now, but I don't have a lot of words so forgive if in communication I'm a bit reticent.

Always mid-explosion, so anything I say may change tomorrow, but for now: a mess of contradicting forces. Nice guy learning when not to be. Some days reflective, some days impulsive. Sometimes an exhibitionist, sometimes self-conscious. Cerebral with a stupid streak. I laugh at the me of yesterday and I'm jealous of the me of tomorrow.

If I get overanalytical or I say something offensive while trying to be funny, just give me a smack.

I work a lot and I'm terrible at sitting still. I'm slow to reply, but don't take it personally.

Physically, I am a textbook ectomorph - many thousands of calories, tons of protein and a couple shots of olive oil daily has resulted in me just barely being able to fight my way up to 160 lbs. I could just write "work in progress," but this is what it would really mean.

Stuff I like and swoonworthy conversation starters: adventures (yours), big ideas/plans, surprises, theatre and performance in general, languages (including making up new ones), harmonizing, exploring the woods, climbing trees, making up constellations, and staying open and vulnerable in spite of rejection or betrayal.

Health-conscious, fiercely honest, self-aware, creative, good-hearted, substance-free, non-flaky people who like to make things happen. A memorable laugh helps too. Other than the aforementioned, I usually don't know what I like until I suddenly like it and think, "What now?"

Also muscles are cool. Hence this website.
