Well, in a few words, I'm a tall slim lefty atheist vegan geek. I'm a pretty introverted guy with a few close friends with similar interests and no big social circle, but looking for someone special to be close and committed to for a relationship. All things considered I've got a very *nalytical mind and, to this end, I'm currently a semi-professional poker player when I'm not working towards my degree. I've got very quick surreal sense of humour which most people don't get, but quirky folk tend to understand
I'm studying Politics/Sociology at York (live in Cheltenham), entering my second year in a few months, and intend to do a Master's (at least) afterwards. I try not to take anything seriously and I'm pretty relaxed about most things. I don't really drink/club, but I am an avid cinema-goer (though I probably watch more films on DVD) and live comedy attendee. Generally up for trying new things.
Since this is my intellectual profile:
I'm a member of the Epimetheus Society, a high-IQ society for 1/30,000 people, or 164+. While I am totally aware of the limitations of the IQ test, I believe mainly measure pattern recognition and *nalytical ability, two things I guess I do pretty well.
I've probably read all of wikipedia (well, not QUITE) and can probably hold a passable conversation on literally any topic from quantum chromodynamics, ancient empires or sociobiology to foreign cinema, internet politics or evolutionary psychology. I love teaching people new things, and appreciate it when people are interested in whatever topic I'm currently thinking about. I can solve all kinds of Rubik's cubes pretty fast.
There's pretty much nothing I enjoy more than discussing something with someone clever.
Anyway, I'm looking for someone very, very bright, quirky, ethical, and unusual
