So I'm like fuck it...took a casual head shot in my robe, and on the profile I said...
Born in the year of the Rat, fascinated by horror and macabre, lived I MT. 25 years, I have a pagan ideology and I'm heavy into music, wildlife, and open space. I don't really dig this online thing, let's be pen pals. Drop me a line anytime here go my addy....

Some dating sites are very different than others. Some are 100% free, and folks who would want that are the people you're going to see on there. Then there's pay sites of various amounts -- and just like restaurants, bars & nite clubs -- they're priced to exclude less affluent, or less serious, folks, depending on your point of view. Heck some might say the super expensive ones are helpful in weeding-out the ultra materialistic people out of the regular sites, thank you!

Your profile description sounds perfect. No point in wasting time being too ambiguous about yourself.

Way I see it, post a pic and make a casual date asap. There's no substitute for a pic and meeting in person. Some want to chat and not meet.

Like, what happened.

What gap are you talking about? ::big grin:: and why do you ask? You mean year of release? 1937 to 1950? not like they didn't have quite a few films between those two.

I'm starting to get sick and tired of all these TV shows and movies about sociopathic heroes. Where do people get the idea that being a sociopath or a narcissist makes you some kind of superhuman who is smarter and braver than everyone else? Honestly it sickens me...

I also hate the unrealistic way that these people get portrayed on TV. Like the sociopathic antihero who only feels empathy and compassion for one character who they are close with. A true sociopath or narcissist does NOT feel empathy or compassion for anybody!

Besides Dexter, what other shows star sociopath heroes? I watched the first season of Dexter, I'd say I was mildly entertained. In Dexter, I think they displayed him with genuine love for his sister (I think it was), and sympathy, and a sense or understanding of right and wrong. Rather than killing because he was a sociopath, he had a killing compulsion, which he restricted to killing other serial killers. All the same, I understood the concern people has in the concept. (I know you didn't name Dexter).

In regards to staring narcissists, I don't like watching those either, such as Eastbound & Down, some episodes I watched only cause a buddy liked it... which creeped me out a little because I know it's one of his fantasies to treat everyone like subhuman.

Archer is also basically a narcissist hero, but it's a cartoon, and I can stand watching some of those only because it's pretty creative, I like the (older) popculture references, and usually funny, but it's also nonstop insult train, and if not usually low brow, it's submersively crass (I just made up that word, meaning it's always deep inescapably crass) which isn't generally my cup of tea.

Black List, Dexter, White Collar, all of the James Bond movies, Will & Grace (especially Karen), Desperate Housewives, Mini's First Time, Breaking Bad, American Horror Story, Game of Thrones.

There are so many out there that I can't possibly list them all...

And I don't mind the occasional comedic sociopath like Bender from Futurama or the entire family in The Addams Family. When it's tastefully done as a form of humor it's not so bad. But I don't like it when sociopaths and narcissists take on the role of heroes as if they are something to be admired. It's just wrong, it's like a slap in the face to the one thing that makes us humans not so terrible: our ability to feel empathy for one another and to redeem our mistakes because of the guilt we feel.
