Have you ever heard about this site? Which site? :) This is how I got here.

I have lived in New York City since January 2007. It's an endless city. More to explore everyday. :)

I like learning new things.

I'm down-to-earth and laid back. Living in the big apple (technically it's stem), and working in the heart of Time's Square as an Agent in the entertainment industry is where you'll find me. I was born in Florida, grew up in Atlanta, went to College in Ohio...and now I'm in Harlem having my own personal renaissance. Lately I believe I'm a West-Coaster on borrowed time in NYC. I am a dreamer who usually sees them to reality. I really enjoy pop culture, but it is not "who" I am. Comfortable just about anywhere with any crowd. There is so much to experience in life and I always make the most of it.My 30's are going to be about travel and finding love. I'm up for surprises along the way - I just hope they are good ones.

i am a great guy who always listens to what people say. I enjoy hanging out and going places with friends. for me its more fun with friends then alone. i can be shy at times but once i get to know the person you would never consider me being shy. i always make people laught and people like me for that reason.

Who am I? I'm a thoughtful, funny, creative, geeky, honest, dependable, determined, impatient, persistent, introverted, intelligent, honest, open-minded and charming man.

What do I do? I'm an actor, writer, amateurish bongo player and karaoke god. These days I'm writing and producing sketch comedy and auditioning all over town.

(I'm also working roughly 55 hours a week between two day jobs -- I'm not sure how much time and energy I have to spare for dating at the moment, but you can try to say hello to me...)

I moved from Philly to New York four years ago, and I've fallen head over heels for NYC. But their sports teams still suck. All of them. You heard me.

My favorite things are theater, sharing a pitcher of beer with friends at the neighborhood bar, riding my bike on Riverside Drive, going to improv shows at UCB, walking really fast and feeling like a smug local, playing with my neighbors' dogs and embracing my inner geek.

If I was a Muppet, I'd be Kermit. Or possibly Scooter. I hope that helps.

Hi
I am new to philly and looking for friends to hangout. I am interested in activities like hiking, clubbing and adventures activities.

I feel like I'm writing a college personal statement all over again. Not going to summarize myself in a paragraph. Nope. No-sir-ee-bob. Let's get coffee or a beer.

Clearly, I really don't like posting pics on a site like this. If you want to chat, I'll send them to you through IM.

I grew up in a small town in California and moved here about five years ago. What I miss most about small-town living is: decent produce, good Mexican food (What's up with that by the way? Haven't enough of us immigrated here to open up a decent restaurant?), and seeing the stars at night.

I love to dance (even if its just at my desk at work), prefer vodka to gin (I recently discovered the simple deliciousness of the gimlet), wished the workday started at noon so I could sleep in, love games that test your vocabulary (crossword puzzles, Scrabble, and especially, Taboo), and, apparently, the use of parentheses.

I took up kickboxing as a form of exercise a few years ago, but it has since become a passion of mine. I love it and go to a class at least once a week. My friends don't understand why I do it though. I guess I'm just a masochist.

It's been a long time since i actually entered a site like this. Though before, it didnt really work out, my sister encouraged me to join this connection again. I cant really say something that significant about me but rest assured you can count on me.

Im a firm believer of true love and loyalty. Im no hopeless romantic but im waiting for someone who will sweep me off my feet. I may not be the best, but im true to my word..

For me friendship is the real foundation of a true relationship.

I don't like coffee, but I like going out for coffee. I carry my keys in my right pocket. I enjoy walking around on sunny days with my headphones on. I like doing sudoku puzzles. I sometimes correct people's grammar. Lazy mornings in bed are amazing. I always learned to put two spaces after a period. It's hard for me to find a pair of sunglasses that fit decently. I like to sing when I drive. When I was a kid I wanted to be an architect. I am not very suave. I have never been in a fight. I get in trouble for things that most people don't get in trouble for. I enjoy looking at the stars and city skylines (cliche, I know). I enjoy philosophizing, particularly when drunk. I get a kick out of bad puns (ask any of my friends).

I was born and raised in New York City, and am working on my master's thesis. I usually go out a couple of times a week, mostly to places like Galapagos and Warsaw because I am really into music (I pretty much listen to everything except for country). I like to read a lot, both for pleasure and for school since I'm back in grad school now. I am also into art and design and do a bit of drawing and painting. I also play men's roller derby for the New York Shock Exchange... FTW!!! Hmmmm, what else. I am interested in politics and would consider myself pretty liberal, but can't stand people who wear their politics on their sleeve. I like to travel when I get the chance and would have to say Japan is the most interesting place I have ever been. Other than that you are going to have to send me a message and pick my brain.

I really hate doing the self summary part of this whole process, but it's a necessary evil, so I'll just try to power through the writer's block.
Ummmm, well, I was born in San Francisco, moved to Houston when I was 12, went to university in Austin. I've been in NYC for over 10 years, which actually kind of freaks me out. I'd like to leave at some point, but I'm not quite sure where to go Maybe Paris at some point.
I currently live in Hell's Kitchen after stints in the West Village and East Village.
Anyway, I've taken a bunch of tests on here and think they might give a better glimpse of me than does my boring self-summary.

I write poetry and I workout daily and those are my basic everyday hobbies. I work in the club scene and I love it! I feel that because I am such a layback and understanding guy, it will reflect much better working with a clear head. I don't like people who feel they need to control me or what I do. Oh yeah, my ethnicity is Jamiaican with a quarter Irish.

I've gotten my car stuck between a telephone pole and a mailbox, dropped John Popper (of blues traveler's) harmonica amp, been at the wrong place at the wrong time, and made some dreams come true.

Hi! Live in Manhattan and looking to meet that special guy :) A little about me... I love going on relaxing vacations and exploring fun new places. I also enjoy going out with friends...meeting new people...eating at great restaurants. I have been known to shop too :) Also have an amazing time just exploring the city. There really is so much to see and do in NY!! I'm addicted to cuddling, and perhaps a hopeless romantic. :)

Lately I have become addicted to swimming...I love it! I also like to explore new restaurants...but I tend to keep hitting up the old favorites for some reason. haha. I go to the movies often and theater when I can.

These questions are uninspiring, and I'm mostly here because I'm amused or bemused, not sure which, by the numerical matching system, so please see my Salon personals profile teaandoranges if you want to see a fleshed out sales pitch.

young professional living in nyc. I am caring, honest and career driven. living an active life and hope to find someone that shares similar interest.

I've been a work-o-holic for about a year. I'm finally coming full circle and looking for some time and ways to enjoy my life. I want some excitement. I want to get into trouble.

Describing one's self is highly inaccurate, it's been proven. My brother calls me Cliff Claven cause that's what I do until I'm proven wrong, damn wikipedia.

Does anyone read this thing? Or do you just look at the picture and scan the content for Patrick Bateman-ness, like I do? What can I write here that would reassure you I was basically like you, enough so you'd want to star, IM, thumbs-up, or whatever equivalent to hello? I don't know the words yet so I'm going to get help in the forums! and meet you back in a bit.

hopeless but optimistic. kind of clueless too. how do you do this?

i guess i'm an independent person and have kind of been doing my own thing for awhile. both bad and good?

i love music, and would love to devote more time to hanging out with it.
hate cooking, don't know how to. don't mind doing the dishes or putting on music while you cook. i can also make cocktails for us.

I am an eternal student hoping to find intellectual nirvana. I am honest to the point of brash. I am artistic but not always logical, intelligent but try not to be elitist. I would rather work hard than win the lottery, but if I did it'd still be fucking sweet- no one would turn that down. I am a creature of habit that still manages to get into some really crazy adventures, I love trying new foods but then find myself ordering the same thing the next time I go. I am somewhat impatient and like to live a pretty fast paced life. I have trouble relaxing in the conventional sense- I am just as comfortable in Manhattan as in a rural campsite- but don't like the in between. I am looking for someone to exchange witty banter with.

I enjoy theater, theatre, painting, drawing, sewing, drafting patterns, make up for theater and personal enjoyment, art history, reading, dive bars with good drink specials, I don't drink coffee and really I like sleeping and showering more than the majority of these as my schedule allows very little...

Well, Iono about b-boy yet, I mean there is a lot of competition in the dead breakdancing game. I'm a nice guy, I am not looking serious, just looking for a good night out such as drinks, movie, dinner no order or anything. I'm not trying to find "the one". I'm just you know chillin' looking for a good saturday night. Not trying to hit the altar or anything, if you're into that then, that is your thing. I mean its just a Saturday night. Nothing to get married on in a wk lol lets just have a nice time thats all.

As you can see and from what I've been told, I do not look my age. I guess the saying is true....we don't crack. :-) In any case lover of sports, especially Soccer and Track. Im a bit quirky, love going to whodunnit murder mystery plays, and I tend to throw them myself. Im not going ot say to much because that takes away the "mystery" of the person, ya know so once you get to know me, then you will get to know me.

I love live music, enjoy a person with a great sense of humor, and interesting conversation. Love going out to dinner as well as staying in, am very busy, so would like someone with an agenda as well.

I honestly hate this on line dating thing, but since the last of my g/f's now has a b/f I have no wingman and figured to give this one more shot. Depending on the person I'm somewhat shy, but outgoing at the same time. I love to laugh and try to make others laugh. Not exactly sure what I'm looking for, so if this works great, if not then it was a learning experience for us both...

Who is Invaleet? More than the dashing fellow that you see in the picture for sure! But more importantly, I am me and you are you and thats how it should be.

I'm currently a full time student for graphic design and illustration, although I prefer illustration a lot more. Tossing around a children's book that I plan on illustration and writing while juggling a potential graphic novel or we comic. I really enjoy coming up with ideas, pictures, concepts, everything! Just letting my mind wander unleashed is always a real treat. Always being random and sometimes I get raised frowns over it, but screw it.

I'm afraid that I'm very shy and quiet when it comes to meeting new people, I've always had a hard time meeting new friends and now its catching up to me. My biggest problem is I'm not afraid to do new things or try everything I just don't have the push to do it on my own. That having been said you could probably talk me into jumping out of a plane lol.

A dweeb and a geek at heart, not a nerd because I could math my way out of a paper bag! I enjoy comics and video games and would really enjoy meeting someone that likes games too! I like being random and goofy, my motto is to be an Adult, but never forget to be a child!

A warm and gentle giant with lots of caring and compassion in me! Hit me up if you want to talk!

I will eat virtually anything, but only if it's well prepared. My sense of loyalty is overdeveloped to the point of neurosis. I've made a few films, but somehow am still working on the first one. I'm not able to lie, so please don't ask me if those pants make you look fat unless you're already sure they don't. I'll explain to you how I voted and why, but not unless you ask. I'm into welded sculpture - and I work really, really, really slowly. (Really.) The only televised sport I can watch without falling asleep is sumo. Matthew Barney is a punk.

o.k. - that last one was padding. The rest are true.

Grouchy, wrinkly, wart-covered frog seeking lingering kiss from good looking princess.... Once you get past the self-deprecating humor, you will soon learn that I'm a raging egomaniac. Well, that's not entirely true, either. Let's just say that many years as a litigator have made me a very confident, but also very nice, successful guy looking to share his life with his future soul mate.

A recent promotion brought me to Washington, DC from the mountains of upstate New York. Although, I am a city boy, born and raised in Boston, I tend to have woodsy hobbies. I love camping, hiking, mountain biking, skiing and snow shoeing. When I am not stomping around in the back of the beyond, I haunt bookstore cafes, comedy clubs, and funky ethnic restaurants. Mystery novels, sci-fi films, and 80's music are generally my first choice - but I am open-minded and enjoy new experiences especially if they new languages or unusual food groups.

Living in the Capitol has led to a slew of new adventures. It seems that there just aren't enough hours in any weekend to take in all of the cool museums, enticing restaurants, and interesting events going on in the area. As the weather gets cooler and the holidays approach, I am starting to realize how romantic Washington is, and I have found myself hoping to find someone to share it all with.

What am I looking for? Well, if your favorite Muppet is Miss Piggy, there is a good chance that we just won't get along. Don't take that the wrong way; she's so high maintenance that she just annoys me. I'm definitely more Gonzo than Kermit. So, the woman I'm looking for is somewhere between a thrill-seeker and a couch potato. She isn't afraid to go mountain biking with me and get covered in mud, she won't get aggravated when I lead us 200 miles in the wrong direction while touring wineries in France, and will laugh out loud when I say something unintentionally stupid. When living in the boonies of upstate NY, I used to volunteer as an EMT with the local ambulance service. Somehow I haven't managed to get back into it since moving to DC, so it would be great to meet someone who's also an EMT or volunteer firefighter. Maybe she can inspire me to pull out my jump kit and get back on a rig.

At the end of the day, however, I am just hoping to meet a woman who enjoys discussing the world around her, is looking for more than just a date, and will happily cuddle on the couch and laugh at old Muppet DVDs with me. Will you be my partner in crime? If the answer is yes then send me an email and let's get lost together.
