Some time ago, someone asked me why it was that I never seem to get upset about anything that anyone, either in my life, or in the news, does. I thought about it and realized that I basically assume everyone's actions are just a product of either their upbringing or their genetics and so nothing they do is really their fault.
It would be cynical of me to rob humanity of its capacity for free will like that, except that my view doesn't really apply to me, or to anyone I know very well. The fact that people I know well don't do anything to upset me is some combination of luck, the fact that I know them well enough to predict their actions, and that they're not jerks, for the most part.
My original point, however, is that, on some level, at least, I assume that people are operating on evolved instinct. That's probably at least part of why I've had such a difficult time figuring out what precisely women look for in a romantic partner. No one actually knows. It's too far down in everyone's reptilian brain for anyone to say with certainty.
So, ignoring for the moment, the obvious reality that no one on Craigslist is consciously looking to procreate with the strongest and smartest (unless that's what "Miscellaneous Romance" is all about, I've never checked), my project probably won't be hurt by listing the credentials that would be included if I were donating my DNA.
- I have a job and a car.
- I have perfect eyesight.
- I'm tall and have never broken a bone. (Not one of my own, at least.)
- I have an exceptional immune system, which I routinely stress test by living unhealthily and eating food of questionable age and quality.
- I have no known allergies.
- I have no family history of cancer.
- I'm a college graduate.
- I'm exceptionally bright, but have the sense to know that guys who know their IQ off the top of their heads are usually intolerable.
- I would probably win in a fight against most land mammals.
I'm Dan. I'm probably free this Friday.
- Location: Suburban Minneapolis
- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
