The ever critical self-description. I will start with a few of my strengths. I am looking to develop a long term relationship. I value honesty and trust as the foundations on which a successful relationship (of any kind) can be built. I am a generally mellow individual, and a nice guy. That isn't to say that I am a pushover, as I am willing to speak up for myself, and the people I care about. I appreciate intelligence and learning. Not to say that you have to have a ton of education or anything, but just that it would be good if you appreciate learning new things as well, and are capable of forming your own thoughts and expressing them reasonably well. I am optimistic about individual people and situations, cynical about society and the world. I have my own opinions on politics that cross the spectrum from issue to issue. Now on to building some of my nerd cred. I am a serious gamer that enjoys board games, card games, video games, and role-playing games. I enjoy all kinds of media: I love and have a eclectic taste in movies, music, tv, and books. Chances are good that you and I enjoy many of the same things. There is also a pretty good chance that some things I enjoy you might not like as much. I am open minded and try to appreciate what's good about things, even as I recognize things that aren't good as well. The same holds true for people, I try to find common ground and work to relate to them. I enjoy watching sports, particularly football, basketball, and MMA. I am going to the gym regularly now, and enjoying the progress I am making on becoming more physically fit (still got quite a way to go, but I'll get there). Since I am aware that I've started most of my sentences with "I" let's talk about you. Aside from intellectual compatibility, you should try to be a good person, not use recreational drugs, and be devoted and faithful in a relationship. You should accept and love me as I am, yet encourage me to be better. No more space, t
