On the advice of my stalker (don't ask), I'm cross-posting this from my Fetlife profile. It seems to work better as a personal ad than what was originally here. I'll write a completely new one at some point, but I'm too lazy to do it right now. Enjoy.

Riddle me this. Who is John Galt? And why won't he shut the fuck up?
Let's start with the boring details. I'm 21, I'm male, I'm straight and, as of last month at time of writing, I could put the letters "BSc" after my name if I felt like it. I graduated with a 2:1 degree in Economics and Finance, an achievement I was very proud of for about an hour before realising that I couldn't have picked a worse time; not surprisingly, I'm currently unemployed. My aim is to take a few temping jobs for the next couple of years and hope that by then the economy will have recovered enough for my in-debt ass to find a well-paid job, but the wasteland that is the British economy looks so bad I'm considering going back to school.
Still, I'm staying as positive as a shameless pessimist can. I took up playing the drums not long ago, pushed into it by a love of hard rock and a birthday present; I'm also learning to drive and have restarted my taekwondo training after a three-year hiatus caused by having no clubs near where I was at university. Not surprisingly, I'm very rusty, you can almost hear scraping noises when I try to touch my toes. Better still, after years of not realising what the big deal was, I'm now ploughing my way through the Discworld universe and enjoying every word. The world will be a poorer place when Death finally comes for Sir Terry.
The reason I call myself a top is because I'm legitimately not sure where I fit yet, but "Unsure" is just asking for poorly-spelled messages from doms and dommes alike who won't read any of this. Suffice it to say, I'm not a top...I'm just not sure whether I'm more into D/s or M/s, and that isn't a puzzle I see being solved any time soon. The odds are stacked against me like crazy (lots of dominant men, not so many submissive women, basic economics says I'm going to have trouble), and against me more than most other guys in my position because I have no D/s experience to speak of, I don't have any interest in online-only relationships and even if I did, I don't think it'd be fair to tell a few lies of omission and pretend those were real-world. If I'm honest, it's not a policy that's worked well so far, but principles are principles. I used to ask myself "What would Booster Gold do?" whenever any moral or ethical dilemmas came up in my life, but since the answer was normally "Use the historical knowledge of his robotic companion from the twenty-fifth century to look like a hero", it wasn't exactly useful advice.
You may have deduced that I'm quite a geek. This is absolutely true. It comes in many flavours, and I have bits of plenty - I'm a gamer, a music snob, a comic book guy, somebody who gets a worrying percentage of the jokes in Frasier and a writer in the same way pre-intervention George McFly is a writer.
So, what am I looking for? Good question. Friendship or tuition is always nice, especially since this is one part of my life I'd like to keep separate from the rest of it, and a play partner would be a great help in overcoming the whole inexperience issue. I'd like a relationship, but until I can get a better hold of whether my desires are dominant or masterly in nature, that seems unlikely to happen. The above is also the reason I don't have a picture of myself on here, I don't particularly want anybody I know in real life stumbling across it and recognising me. This is not to say I won't share pictures of myself, just not in public. Don't want any misconceptions.
Christ, this was long. I'll finish up now - I know the odds aren't great, but if you find this profile and see something that interests, my inbox is too empty for it's own good. I can't promise I'll live up to your expectations but at the risk of sounding like an Abba song, there's no reason not to take a chance on me. Is there?
