I was reading a study the other day that while cultural practices favoring a male child (especially if you're only gonna have one) are certainly impacting the male/female ratio of babies (and young folks in general by now) in China, the real culprit is, oddly, disease. Read a study a while back on that exact topic and the researcher found that a much bigger driver in terms of "missing" females was prevalence of... I forget exactly, but I want to say Hepatitis C (the non-fatal, low symptom version). Apparently if a population has a high infection % of it (and China does) then you end up with a high boy/girl ratio.

1. I don't smoke so I won't look like a shar pei, like you will, when I reach 40.

2. I don't have a lot of excess weight and have to worry about looking like an empty potato sack, like you do, if I lose weight.

3. I get to look forward to your imminent mid-life crisis.

Asian genetics, I age about +10 years slower, my skin stays smooth, and the little hair I have I keep in the same place (aka not go bald and have hair shooting out my ears). And I'm pretty sure I already went through my midlife crisis, I bought my Porsche when I was 22, now I just live in Brooklyn making music and going to networking parties.

I live in a town of 9,000 people today but I have moved away from home twice and lived in bigger cities one was Kitchener/Waterloo which has 3 universities/colleges with large names and houses RIM which has a large number of jobs, so its not short of people.
The other Thunderbay and people there are too dirty to have sex with .

Again, Asian. I'm bred for misogyny and superiority complexes. And growing up in NY doing the things I did only reinforced it. It's what compels me to read and respond to everything that's even remotely directed at me on the forums. Still thought this was kind of hot:

Well those lucky bastards are going to come to college in the US and find a 60:40 female to male ratio so good for them.

You know I never actually realized how few Canadians there are. You look at the map and see this big ass country and assume it's somewhat close to the US. 2nd largest country in the world in land mass but only 34 million people (compared to the +300 mil in the US). 228 out of 239 in population density. Much less people than Japan (127 mil - wow), UK (62 mil), even South Korea (49 mil) which I always considered a small country. Only 2 cities with +1 million people, Toronto and Montreal.

Yeah we should definitely invade your ass and steal your shit.

Kind of wish I hadn't quit WoW before you came along. You seem really cool and brimming with stories. Maybe we can still be friends though we play different games? :3

Not really the leather and glam type. More likely to be in a 3-piece suit, maybe a little Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, or bespoke from Savile Row. I prefer the Italian cuts but my shoulders/back are too broad for designers like d&g. Add in a pair of Ferragamos and I'm ready to rock. And I'm not big on binding with handcuffs/chains/rope, feels more personal to manhandle girls with my bare hands.

It's funny because I'm so anti-corporate nowadays, but I still love the Barney Stinson "suiting up." Probably the hardest thing to reconcile about hippying it up in Brooklyn, I just can't bring myself to dress like a homeless guy.

Out of curiosity, what are you networking for? Music?

Well that's the million dollar question. I'm not quite sure myself, atm I'm just throwing out feelers and getting to know as many people as possible. I'm a pragmatist and a big believer in the 10,000 hour rule (general amount of practice it takes to achieve mastery in anything) so hold no illusions about making a living performing music anytime soon, if ever.

I'm also a dilettante so I'm not sure what I want to do when it's all said and done. I still love dancing but with my back that's out - will probably start taking classes again; with the lack of sleep and all the drinking my back gets enough abuse as it is right now. Took four years of ceramics in high school but wouldn't want to do it for a living. Have always loved writing and it's one of the things I know I could make a living doing, but lack the discipline to write everyday. And I love fashion more than a straight man should, but would feel vacuous if that's all I was doing.

I still have a decent nest egg and some rental property so I can keep this up for a while, but it's not enough to retire on and I want to work on something anyway. Can't complain though, free booze and hot women at most of the places and I get a kick out of meeting new people. It combines two of my favorite things - talking about myself and moving on to something new when they inevitably bore me. Fashion week's coming up so if I can finagle an invite to some of the good parties that'll be a blast.

I'm curious about Rystorm, I would think he'd be the sluttiest one out of all of us.

Guys can't be sluts, if we have a lot of sex it just means we got game.

Being from a small area does have it's drawbacks, but the lack of men with all of their teeth and a college education shoots me to the top of the list for most girls looking to bang. its funny the first couple questions from any girl I talk to are: Do you have a job? Do you have your license? Do you have your own car? Like those 3 things shouldn't be a given?

as far as stats id put myself somewhere in the ballpark of 50-75 partners or so, oldest being ~ 40ish, which I have to say women are like wine.

I mostly work with Ableton Live, trance/progressive, some dubstep, some electro.

The program looks like this:


A lot of people in EDM use it to produce/compose tracks. My favorite project lately has been to recreate rjd2's Ghostwriter by ear:


I also play a passable guitar, but nothing special, mostly acoustic/singer songwriter/indie crap.

As far as fashion design, yes, but as I mentioned it's too shallow even for me. You spend more than a couple of hours around designers talking shop and you realize how frivolous it really is. Also, women's clothing doesn't interest me and men's clothing is far more limited both economically and creatively.

Another thing that sucks about small towns/Maine is that I have to look in a 50 mile radius to find decent girls to hook up with, so often times I have a 30 min + drive to get with a girl which unless its going to be some hella good sex may or may not be worth it. So like quests in WoW it's easier if you group them up when you're doing them. Knock out a few quests in a night and head back to the home town to get those rested XP, I don't like sleeping at a girls house that I hook up with because once you shot one all over her face I find the conversation and anything after that to be quite boring.

Sadly I know what you mean about the "commute." When I was living in midtown Manhattan I could get home from just about anywhere in 15 mins by cab (and subway depending on where I was). And there was NO way I was hoofing it to Brooklyn for a girl, she could take the walk of shame in the morning.

Now that I live in Brooklyn it takes me at least 30 mins to get to most places in Manhattan, even longer at 2-4 am with the trains. Most of the time I end up staying over just because I don't want to bother late at night - the more I drink the earlier I wake up (weird) so I can usually book it before she wakes up.

So droid, blackberry, or iPhone?

Hmmm Guess I'm strange. I've found GOOD discussions on all sorts of random stuff can actually turn me on. On the other hand I've never been in a situation where I didn't find my partner interesting enough to want to spend the night. I got married so I didn't experience the bar scene to hook up that's probably the reason.


I was always a misfit in the small town where I grew up. I liked to think to much, play games, do tomboy stuff. I'd pick a good hike in the mountains instead of getting my nails done any day. Better yet skiing, white water rafting or making explosives and blowing things up. Maine has such a low population, finding someone that really fits you must be a pain. If I had to be single and pick a place to live it would definitely be near a University but I'm not sure Maine has a big enough Univ.

So how many of you are single because you actively want to be single and how many are single because you never found someone who was a good enough fit? If u choose to be single do you see yourselves ever getting married?

It's rare for someone to keep my interest in a one-on-one conversation for more than a couple of hours. They're usually too stupid or boring. I'll tolerate it if I want something (e.g. sex) but after that I'm done with them.

I only have 3 people that I've kept in touch with for multiple years that I would consider friends. Everyone else gets lumped into acquaintances and they just flit in and out of my life randomly.

I don't believe in marriage (or most social institutions) - just because it's always been done a certain way doesn't mean it's the right way. To me most people who get married are sheep who can't think for themselves or have no idea what they want. Otherwise they wouldn't sign up for that "'til death do us part" nonsense and have a +50% divorce rate.

Don't believe in monogamy either. I can see it working for some people, but don't think it should be the de facto relationship. Again, most people just fall in line to social programming. I'm not completely against the idea for myself (anything's possible) but I find it unlikely that one person will be able to keep my interest for the rest of my life.

I used to rock a Blackberry when I worked for T-mobile because I didn't have to pay for the data plan, now I have Verizon but I refuse to pay ~20+$ for the Data plan they make you take when you get one of their Data phones, however if I had to choose I would go with the Iphone because I love my Ipod touch and well the Iphone is certainly the most pretentious of the 3 and anything that can further me from the low class population of Maine is good in my book!
