false prophet's profile

Hello profile viewer




Yes, it's a genuine profile and it actually is this long Please no inane comments like 'its tooo loong plz summarise it'. If 1409 words too much for your brain to process I'm not interested. It takes about 3 minutes to read

No friend requests until we have actually made friends, please.

I'm looking for some like-minded individuals to talk to, for intelligent discussion about topics we may have in common, but of course not at the expense of humour, silliness and rambling discussions of entertaining​ randomness.

I'm interested in and enjoy everything from politics, philosophy and cosmology to anime, movies, and video games. I love fantasy and to a lesser extent science fiction, especially when it has a bleak and dystopian feel.

I listen to music from all genres, but most of what I listen too tends to lean towards either rock/metal or 'classical' orchestral/i​nstrumental.​ Sometimes I find over-sentime​ntal pop music entertaining​ due to it being unintentiona​lly funny.

I love to draw and paint. Others praise my work, but I have impossibly high standards for myself, so though I enjoy the process; I tend not to be pleased with much of what I do. I'm attempting to write a novel which would be a series if I ever managed to silence the inner critic and stop changing things. I also play piano, albeit badly, sight reading isn't my thing but I'm good at picking things up by ear.

I'm politically liberal. I can accept some slight variances but I don't get along with conservative​s, those far to the right, the blindly patriotic and those with blind faith. I'm pro-abortion​, pro GBLT rights and believe strongly in separation of church and state.

I think attitudes towards sex nowadays are ridiculous but people treat the act itself as the problem rather than the fact that people seem to turn it into something subversive or as something forbidden that can't be discussed. I think the state consent laws (and I am talking about teenagers, not pre-pubescen​ts being preyed upon by paedophile rapists) are largely ridiculous, the fact that you can get married before you can vote, the fact that you can be charged as an adult but not trusted with alcohol etc.

I'm a very introverted,​ naturally hermit-like person. That doesn't mean I don't like to go out and things or there isn’t stuff I’d like to do given the chance; it's just there's nothing to do and not many to do it with. I'm not into the drunken pub-crawl culture so that pretty much writes off 90% of the people in my everyday life to form any lasting connection. I’m not straight-edg​e or think alcohol is inherently evil or anything; I just don’t see why life has to revolve around it and don’t see the appeal of altering my perception of reality.

I have standards but I don't expect from other people what I can't do myself and by no means think I’m perfect. I value intelligence​ and genuine free thinkers who don't just think they're ‘intellectua​l’ because they can regurgitate the contents of a textbook and are unable to form an opinion that isn't pre-prepared​ or a version of someone else’s.

I want to leave (escape ) Ireland as soon as possible, but can’t afford college anywhere else but here, so I can’t quite yet.

I really love animals, I care about their welfare but I despise and want nothing to do with extremist groups like PETA giving the cause a bad name and the impression that all welfare/righ​ts activists are part of some crazy fringe group. I'm 100% against cosmetic testing and undecided on (current) medical testing.

Anyone interested in the dating side of things;​ I'm not looking for random hookups and I don't enter into relationship​s lightly. Especially online; I must really get to know someone first. I don't believe in marriage, though I'm looking for long-term monogamy, and do not want children. Don’t take my age as meaning that statement as irrelevant, I’ve heard all the preaching before.

If I get to know someone reasonably well I've no trouble sending a picture, I just don't want to publicly. Understand that it is due to privacy, not insecurity about my appearance.

Requests for messaging:

Firstly, please actually​ read my profile​. Yes, I'm aware it's pretty long as profiles go on this site.

Please write in proper English. If English isn't your first language, that's fine, but no txt spk (how r u), a message filled with 'lol's or people not capitalising​ in the right places or even using basic comma and sentence structure. I've come to the conclusion that people who send that type of message won't get this far or just ignore this, but maybe knowing they'll be unsuccessful in getting a response will stop them bothering to waste their time.

I don't care how old you are, your gender, orientation or where you're from.

I like people who will think against social norms while at the same time not throwing stones for the sake of it. Those who do not just accept 'it's just what people do' or 'it's just the way things are/culture/​tradition as excuses.

People who can be 'odd' and 'weird' and genuinely unique but without actively trying to be 'different'.​

People who like to learn, (even if they hate institutiona​lised education/ac​ademia (I certainly do.) who will think objectively beyond knee-jerk emotional responses and have at least a good idea of current affairs, even if they're not especially political.

Someone who can take the fact that I'm honest and forthright with my opinions (though not abrasive or pushy) and isn't easily offended.

Please try and say more than 'hi. how r u. im [insert name]'

And something from my history on other 'social networking' sites:
Insulting me and making ad hominem​ arguments against things I say here aren't good ways to make me talk to you. Understand that knowing what I want doesn't make me an asshole and I don't go around attacking other people's chosen lifestyles and preferences even if I find them personally unappealing as long as they don't hurt others.

If you're interested in having an informed debate I'd be interested in speaking with you, but please don't just state 'your views are X, Y and Z' without telling my why​ you think that.

I’m not ageist, and dislike it when I see people with narrow age ranges set in their profiles, especially when they claim they only seek friendship. Practical experience and emotional maturity/sel​f-awareness are different things, many people seem to lack the latter two no matter how old they get. Also, not everyone who's older than you is automaticall​y 'creepy' or to be immediately labelled as some kind of pervert or written off as invalid (I see people reacting like someone 5 years older than them is some kind of paedophile, even when they're in their 20s themselves.)​ I don't see why this should be any more acceptable than any other blatant prejudice or generalisati​on.

Also, this sort of goes without saying, but just in case: anyone who's in any way sexist, racist or homophobic I am not interested in talking (or having pointless arguments) with you.

In general I enjoy reading long rambly messages and won't mind if it's a random stream of conciousness​, as long as you actually have something to say to me based on reading my profile that seem like a real attempt to get to know me, instead of just a short, generic statement.

I also have MSN and AIM, but again I only want to give this to people I've gotten to know somewhat first.

I know it's hard to make the first contact, I'm very insular and terrible at it too, but I'm not intimidating​ and reply to all efforts to make friends, even if I can take my time sometimes ^^; Also, I'm shown as online because I leave my laptop online all day, I may not actually be here or get back to you immediately.​

Thanks for reading.
