My name is Stephen and I'm 33. I currently manage a Gamestop here in Western Wisconsin where I live and I have a two year degree in management from the local technical college. I'm 5'8, 180lbs, brown hair, blue eyes, and live by myself in a two bedroom apartment with one silly feline. Video games are my main pastime with RPGs, fighting, action/adventure, puzzle, platformers, and shmups being my most invested in genres. Modern and retro split about 50/50. I also enjoy bike riding, walks, fantasy novels, and hanging with friends in my downtime. Anime is also something I enjoy, but it's not as big as my other interests have become like it was 10 or so years ago. I also staff and help organize the local anime con in the area and I'm also a moderator on the IGN forums. Music is pretty open. Rock, alternative, metal. Video game soundtracks too. The Goo Goo Dolls to this day are probably my favorite band at least. I'm looking for someone who can accept me for me. Someone who is laid back, caring, and will actually take a genuine interest in my life. I'm not asking it all be about me as I want to have just as much vested interest in any potential significant other, but in more than one relationships I've had we usually ended up mainly talking about their lives an interests and the relationship became frustratingly lopsided after awhile. Having similar interests is nice but not 100% requirement but being able to accept my gaming and collecting habits kind of is. LDR's I would consider, but sharing travel and making time to see one another would be necessary for it to work long term. Age I'm not completely against younger girls. Obviously 18 is the absolute minimum I would consider, but being within 10 years (23+) is preferred. Being strictly conservative probably isn't going to work for us in the long run. Being religious is fine with me, but you have to be accepting of someone who is atheist and hoping to convert me wouldn't work, just as much as I wouldn't expect or try to make you give up yours. Feel free to shoot me a friend request or post on my wall.

Hello! My name's Joe, I'm bisexual, 20, ~6 feet tall, green eyes, from Massachusetts. I'm going to university for a bachelor's in Sociology with a minor in English, working towards teaching English in Japan for a few years, then who knows what lol. I'm probably a bigger music nerd than an anime nerd. I spend a lot of time exploring music and playing (I've been playing guitar and bass for about 7 years) as well. My favorite bands are Agalloch, The Flaming Lips, The Chameleons, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Sonic Youth, Neutral Milk Hotel, Earth, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Fugazi and Moonsorrow. I care a lot about music and I blow too much money on CDs lol. As far as anime goes, I absolutely love it as well, don't get me wrong. If you can't tell from my profile picture, I love Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler, and Ghost Hound is another favorite. It's kind of hard to pick favorites, but some others would include Cowboy Bebop, Durarara!! and Ouran High School Host Club. I'm also a yaoi fan :3 Not a huge gamer, but I'll play anything with friends. Quirks: I'm somewhat politically active and I do have a political identity, although I might change my mind from time to time on issues because I like to consider all sides of issues. I'm vegetarian, but I don't really care if you choose to eat meat. I have quite a few hobbies and I like to try a lot of different things, but it can get out of hand sometimes hahaha. I'm kind of liberal and open minded when it comes to a relationship. Although I'd like a girlfriend or boyfriend, I might consider polyamory or other "non traditional" approaches. You could say I'm a bit adventurous, although I'm quite inexperienced, haha. I'd be lying if I said looks didn't matter at all, but I'm really more about the person, rather than superficial looks or their gender. I'll talk to basically anyone :) Free spirited, impassioned, a little whimsical, hopeful and optimistic with realism always in mind but I make sure not to let it stop me from dreaming.

Nii_chan, it actually worked for me, which I am extremely grateful for. Both of us posted here, and, yey :) I do have faith that this thread will work for others as well. Also, Thank you for the bump :)

eh I'll give it a go, Alittle about me: My name is Dee, 21(22 in a week) from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I'm alittle weird but who isn't, its just part of who I am. When it comes to people I'm extremely easy to get along with and I enjoy talking about whatever. I don't really care for looks, I'm much more interested in the mind of an individual. Goofy but serious when I need to be :3. music/anime: I don't have a specific genre I listen to. My music taste is all over the place, so alittle of everything. This also goes for my taste in anime, its just kinda whatever catches my interest. Favorite series: Eureka Seven Darker than black Vandread Shinsekai Yori sousei no Aquarion accel World Hobbies: Cosplay,drawing,aggressive inline,basketball,gaming (mainly pc), watching anime (obviously lol) As for what I'm looking for, just the same thing as most people. Someone who has similiar interest that I can get along well with. Also a person who is trustworthy and understanding. I never have nor will I ever try to change someone so >.> be who you are. I'm very understanding of all situations and always do my best try and help people out when/if needed. A person who cosplays or plans on cosplaying in the future would be a plus. I go to conventions whenever possible. Feel free to shoot me a message, I'm always up.
