"Hi there, I couldn't believe my eyes when you stated that you play video games. Any girl I've known just rolls their eyes with any mention of them. Before I ramble on about how cool you sound, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I too am a 28 year old guy geek. I'm white, 5' 10", 140 lbs. Non-smoker also (I agree, smoking is disgusting) I am a huge fan of video and computer games, mostly video though. Xbox 360 is usually what I play, but occasionally I play with the Wii (at work...a story for later). I've never gotten into comic books, only because I was never introduced to them. But I'm a huge, huge fan of X-Men, specifically the movies, and pretty much any comic book-to-movie that's done well. My roommate turned me onto the television show "Who Wants to Be a Superhero", hosted by the legend Stan Lee. I play a bunch of cool boardgames with my friends; some of the games, which you may already know of, are "Settlers" and its various game additions and "Killer Bunnies". Most of my friends are engineers, so that in itself is brings a whole new level of geekness to the table. As my degree is in Film and Video, I too, am a movie-whore. Going out to see a movie or staying in to rent or watch a movie from my collection is a favorite thing of mine to do. I absolutely loved "Firefly" and still want to strangle the morons at Fox who canceled that amazing series. And the great show "Buffy"...I need not say more. Some of my other favorite things to do are taking photographs (amateur photog in the making), reading, playing beach volleyball, going out to eat at nice restaurants, playing poker or just hanging with my friends. I work as an assistant editor at a post-production company that edits commercials. I am financially stable and I am able to provide for myself comfortably. I've worked at the same company for close to five years now and absolutely love it and the work I do. I live on the Westside and work there too. As you said, I too am looking for someone that grabs my attention, fascinates me on a daily basis and makes me wonder where they were my whole life. I have a completely open mind when it comes to relationships and am ready to have fun. Connecting with someone on another level, aside from just looks, is what I looking for in a relationship. Being able to connect on a deeper level is what it's all about. I also couldn't believe seeing you have an interest in bdsm clubs. Finally, I've found a girl who is into that kind of thing. I'd definitely have an interest in going to those clubs. Attached you will find a normal profile picture of me. I am sending another email with another picture attached because I didn't want to attach two pics and get it sent back to me because it is too big for Craigslist. The other is showing a little bit of my humorous side. I really do hope to hear from you. You sound like a really cool and nice gal that I would love to get to know more about. Take care, Matt"
