Ladies and germs, meet Krims. Remember Krims? My breakfast date that sort of fizzled and flopped? Well he and I have become pretty great friends. He’s a delightful individual and actually a little nervous about throwing himself up on the chopping block here. I keep telling him that he’s got nothing to worry about. He’s hot, smart, interesting, creative and a really fantastic person.
38 / M / straight / Single
My self summary
First, I live about 30 minutes south of downtown.
I’m a photographer. Pinup, tattoo magazines, fine art, documentary.
I’m open to the idea of a long term relationship, but i’m not willing to settle for someone that isn’t right for me.
And there you have it. Feel free to ask any other questions you have.
What I’m doing with my life
Photographer in [redacted] and doing some corporate web design temporarily. Raising my dramatic 13 year old daughter. Enjoying it!
I’m really good at
capturing images, cooking, listening, enjoying nature.
The first things people usually notice about me
Random hilarity and my eyes
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I read about 20 blogs a day and I write my blog. You should check out the blog Datewrecks.com. If you don’t know about it… you might just be on it! I usually read non-fiction books.
Movies: True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, Angel Heart, River’s Edge. I watch a lot of documentaries. Born into Brothels, Sicko, Super Size Me, Paper clips.
Music: My most recent listening regime has included:
New Robert Plant (on right now), The Pixies, Hank Williams, The Violent Fems, Prince, Tool, REM, could go on but this is even boring me so…
The six things I could never do without
There is nothing I couldn’t live without. Family, photography, meeting interesting people, seeing new places are all things that are important to me.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
not thinking, political jackassery
On a typical Friday night I am
Art show maybe, taking pictures of something, on a date, the 3rd Friday of the month I put on tights and save the world.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I made a personal decision a little over 2 years ago to quit drinking.
I’m an open book. Ask anything.
You should message me if
Easier to say who I know I’m not compatible with:
- Heavy drinkers – Fundamentalist Christians (or extremists of any kind) – Hardcore Republicans – People who take themselves too seriously
Everyone else proceed!
I do like to be around someone who is fairly intelligent, artistic or appreciates art, funny, moderately happy, spends more time in a coffee shop than a bar, laughs, is somewhat interested in the mysteries of the universe and is kind to people they don’t have to be kind to.
Knowing Krims personally, I think it’s a bit of a catch-22 for my objectivity on critiquing his profile. On the one hand, I know him and can catch (and perhaps read into) nuances of his profile — sort of reading between the lines. On the other hand, those of you who don’t know him personally may find his profile is brief and lacking detail. I think it’s a good profile though, from my end. You can glean from it what matters most to him and what is important to him.
So… what do you think?
Sunday Showcase is a weekly series intended to de-wreckify online dating. I know I’m normal… There’s got to be other normal folks out there right? All profiles listed in the Sunday Showcase are submitted by Date Wrecks readers. They’re not necessarily FOR everyone, but we can all agree that their profiles are well-written, descriptive, informative and, sometimes, even a little funny. Clever is good — real good. If you’d like your profile to be featured on Sunday Showcase — of if you know you’re a regular, non-creepy person, and would like help in making it better — email me. Contact form is at the top of the page.
