Hi, and welcome to my profile! With a touch of flair, creative aen, and a little luck, I'm aiming to intrigue and persuade you. Without further adieu, here we go! It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Jason, a recent grad school transplant originally from California. I'm an enthusiastic, witty intellectual who comes at life with a perspective and zest that can baffle the best of us (including myself!) on regular occasion! I'm an ardent believer in social justice causes like gender and racial equity, anti-discrimination, and legal/policy reformation to match those goals. The latter of which is my field of study, child and family policy. I'm striving towards federal government work, where I can bring the perspective of alternative lifestyle families into federal welfare program evaluation, and help give them a voice in the policies that impact them. This is an important goal for me as I identify with one of those groups: polyamorous. It's challenging advocating for stigmatized groups but exceptionally worthwhile! I'm also an accomplished nerd, and not just in the traditional 'good with computers' way. I blend my love of technology and science fiction with my academia. My best example is one of my undergraduate papers where I yzed relationship narratives across various media: books, movies, TV, video games. I absolutely delight in culture, and look at it from multiple perspectives. Media is rich with culture and narrative that speaks about who and what we are, I absolutely delight in it, and even more so sharing it with others. With that in mind, sharing is important for me in a relationship, and I'm very much looking for someone with whom I can share the things I enjoy, media being near the top of the list. Because of this, good communication is also important to me. I absolutely delight in a direct exchange of thoughts and ideas. Sensation is an important experience in a relationship for me, and I very much enjoy regular physical engagement in the form of holding hands, cuddling, kissing, hugging, etc. Shared interests are important, but aren't necessary across the board. If there's a few things that catch your eye in this description and/or the interests list, then chat with me about them, let's see if we can build a little rapport around a few common themes. I find I connect the best with women who have a positive outlook, and deeply believe in the goodness and value of people, who have ambition, drive and accomplishment mixed with compion and empathy. These are important traits to me, and I hope to you as well! The last thing I'm looking for is also the one I give the most emphasis to: Be bold. If you've found my profile on your own, and I've caught your eye and you'd like to talk to me, then do it and do it wholeheartedly. If I've sent me a message and you're interested, then throw yourself wholeheartedly into your reply. Also, ask me about wholehearted living, it's a great topic!
