Literate men are lovely. Geeks, techies, nerds... delicious. And now for me... I devour fiction. I prefer wit to sarcasm. I want action. Who needs an X-Box? Atari still rocks. Soup is good. Bowling is a ball. I like the taste and texture of tofu. According to okcupid, I have lousy gaydar. I am going through a bit of a Jewish renaissance, reading novels about immigration from Eastern Europe and spiritual discoveries and traditions. That said, deities or the one god of Judaism seems about as possible to me as ghosts, dragons, and fairies. In other words, I tend towards atheism but have a soft spot for speculative literature, lore, and religious traditions... Thor, you too send my heart aflutter with your thunder. I wish I had dedicated my intelligence to capitalist accumulation. Instead, I have accumulated a tremendous academic debt and training in a field that is overburdened with overqualified applicants. The most amusing insult I have received involved the word emasculating.

I dream of meeting a man who adores my smarts, cutes, quirks, curiosity, and insecurities. He should, I hope, excel at banter and have a way with widgets and wily women like me. Please note that I don't date hardcore zionists or men without photographs online. I also refuse to do the dating commute. Picky, picky me. All that said, I would love to meet a sweet, smart man who travels outside his comfort zone and the geopolitical boundaries of the U.S when he can. Should he read, dance, cook, and kiss like the devil... wow. My toes curl at the thought.
