Basic info

• Name: Owen Murphy
• Age: 24
• Personality: I usually get INTJ on Myers-Briggs, and I find descriptions like this one are fairly accurate to my impression of myself. I’m not socially anxious, but I can sometimes come across as a bit stoic and quiet since I don’t say much when I feel like I don’t have anything useful/interesting to contribute. Of course, if I’m with people I really click with, then I can quickly pick up speed with wordplay, puns, and general banter. Alternatively, if I get onto a topic I’m especially interested in, then I can also just go full lecture/professor mode and keep talking indefinitely (or as long as people are interested).

• Profession: Software Developer
• Location: Cambridge/Boston, MA
• Orientation: Hetero
• Politics: Center-left

I’m looking for a long-term relationship with a woman who

• Shares my values, especially with respect to valuing honesty, truth-seeking, and compassion for others
• Shares my interests, especially interest in self-improvement and in learning about ideas in philosophy, economics, math, computer science, and/or science in general from a somewhat skeptical/pragmatic perspective. Other shared interests in general nerd stuff would also be great
• Is someone I feel I can trust and be emotionally vulnerable with
• Is fun and funny enough to be my best friend
• Is in the approximate age range of 22-27
• Is nonreligious
• Would like to have kids in the future
