Marital Status: Single and Looking for a nice guy which looks like an impossibility at this time.
Occupation: College Teacher(Mathematics and Computers) - been teaching at LCC, Davenport, and Baker
Hobbies: Gardening, HTML, Graphics work on the computer, Reading Technical Manuals, Creative Writing, and some wierd hobbies too. I also like to go to the Spiral bar. I love the Pride marches: 1998 , 1999, 2000 , and 2001 photos
Degrees: BS in Mathematics, BS in Computer Science, MA in Mathematics, started work on a phd in Developmental Education in post secondary institutions
Things I find upsetting: Guys who play games when it comes to dealing with other people. I understand yes, no, and a real maybe. I can not tolerate people who think it is cute or fun to be leading on other people. This also includes people who keep changing their name in the online chat rooms for that reason too. Also, people who know you have had deep feelings for who later come back around asking for advice with their future relationships since they should know this is only a sadistic thing to do to the other person.
Very Annoying: MSU people in general. Over the last 13 years, I have met only about a dozen who were worth knowing and I have interacted with thousands from that campus too. I have no idea what causes it, but there is a lot of stuck up, self centered attitudes, out rightly rude, and generally self serving attitutes from the people there. Some of this can be summed up in what a writing instructor commented to me on the papers from the students from there "they refer to the other people etc at MSU as a reference when writing a paper like the people would do at Harvard." MSU is definately not in the same leage as Harvard. I have also noticed what I believe to be an unhealthy attitude by the majority they, they basically only want to date/be einvolded with a mirror image of themselves. College is supposed to be a place to widen your horizons. I still give MSU people the chance to prove me wrong on this, but it does not happen too often.
Hangups/Turn-offs: transgender/transsexual people(burnt very badly by one in a 7 year relationship who became a ts five years into the relationship and I know consider these people on the same level as the anti-christ), Drugs(cant tolerate them), Unfaithfulness in a partner, loud music, mind games, phone sex, cybersex(been on line too long for that to hold any interest), bi people, married men - and for those who keep asking when they see my reference of "Sorry, I don't get into bi and married men but will chat to them online" here is the answer to those common questions" No I do not have anything against them. I am looking for a LTR and neither bi nor married fit that catagory. Most of the guys who say they are bi online are not and hence too closeted to date and the true bi that would settle into a gay relationship are way too rare. The comment was put on my profile to stop those two catagories from privating me all the time and asking for sex which it has reduced them from rudely privating me and asking for it.
