US:
One is 40, works in comms at Stanford, extroverted, at the gym and/or concerts most nights after work, hiking/biking/hunting on the weekends, cooks often.

The other is 31, works as a programmer at a tech firm, introverted, wicked smart, orders delivery food often.

We both have a facetious, quirky, wry sense of humor. We talk about sex, religion, politics & other uncouth subjects. We're straight and single. We don’t drink much. We're both from Massachusetts, but we're not "Massholes."

YOU:
Have a full-time job or grad school funding, don’t smoke cigarettes, don’t drink hard at home often or do any synthetic drugs (natural stuff is OK), have your own circle of friends but would like to eat meals together on occasion. We don’t care about gender/sexual orientation/etc. We’re mostly looking for someone who is no drama, can hold an amicable & intelligent conversation, and is respectful of noise while others are sleeping. Sorry, but no couples.
