My Ideal Person:
I'm looking for someone who is kind, sensitive and smart. A sense of humor would be a big plus. My physical preferences would be slim to average, 5'9" to 6'+. I like a quiet man, but one who can hold a decent conversation. One who can yin my yang and one to whom I can yang his yin (so to speak). I need a complimentary "other". I need someone with an actual opinion. I ideally want a life that includes a perpetual partner.

Favorite musicians or bands:
Au Pairs, Pere Ubu, Otis!, Costello, ABC, Poisongirls, Slits,
Grace!, Gangof 4,

What qualities do you look for in the people you date?:
Intelligent, Glass half full, Realist

What animal best describes your personality?:
dove

Tell us about your personal style and why it works for you. Casual and comfy? Sharp and professional?:
My idol Quentin Crisp lived a life where he was shunned and
ridiculed until well into his sixties. Then he started
to write about his exploits. HisNaked Civil Servantbecame
a great sensation in 1975. I learned from him a great deal
about style. I learned that I had to accept myself, just as I was.
I had to educate myself on myself. Individualism is despised
by society in general, so I slowly began to understand what
it was that "they" despised and made it a point
to emphasize those traits. Now I have become my own being
just by being. Now I'm in the profession of "being".
No, I don't look or act effeminant or flaming in any
way. I present myself to the world just as natural and macho
as I ever have. The difference I acquired was a sense of style.
It's my own precept that I can walk into any crowded
room and feel comfortably justified in whatever article
of clothing I choose to wear.
