Retired OkayCupid ad

I exude optimism, happiness, and positivity out of every orifice of my body. If a hydrogen bomb were to drop on Boston today, I'd say, "When life gives you nukes, make nuclear families." I have made love to many celebrities, including the entire cast of the "Golden Girls." I have traveled to every country on the planet and the International Space Station. I know countless languages, and am fluent in click. I am motivated, self-confident, know what I want in life, and am fully prepared to derail anyone who gets in my way.

Actually, I am just a poor shlep with a learning disability, who scratches by. Obviously I'm jaded by the personal ad process, but not down. I am a dreamer and my dreams have always been lofty, but I continue to follow them because that is my nature. One of my dreams was to be a fiction writer, and I spent a considerable amount of my youth following this dream. I've never really given up on this, though now I exhaust my creative energies on the exceedingly boring work of the real world, which seems pretty unreal to me.

My biggest dream has always been to find a life partner. My second biggest dream has been to have a child, though I am willing to forgo the second dream for the first. I am a Socialist. An atheist. An armchair philosopher. I am too appalled by homelessness, poverty, and our violent actions against the third world to care about animal rights or global warming.

I am open to meeting any woman provided that she is not a racist, believes in evolution, and doesn't hate gays. I have a preference for people grounded in science and reality.

I actually live in Newton on the Waltham border. I chose Waltham because I don't fit into the Newton demographic group. I am poor, but not down and out. I don't expect any woman to carry me. I have never expected a woman to pay on a date with me, and I don't intend to, though I might be open to exploiting a rich woman, Republican or Democrat.

Fine print: Please be within 20 miles of where I live.
