WikiLeaks: Julian Assange's online dating profile: 'I am danger, achtung' - Telegraph

Using the name Harry Harrison, Mr Assange created a page on the site OKCupid, the self-proclaimed "best dating site on Earth", which he last accessed in December 2006.

"WARNING," he began. "Want a regular, down to earth guy? Keep moving. I am not the droid you're looking for. Save us both while you still can."

Describing himself as a "passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual", he said he was seeking a "siren for [a] love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy", He told visitors he was "directing a consuming, dangerous human rights project which is, as you might expect, male dominated" and added enigmatically: "I am DANGER, ACHTUNG".

While declaring himself "pretty intellectually and physically pugnacious," however, he was careful to stress he had a caring side. "I am very protective of women and children," he said.

Among Mr Assange's listed interests were the "structure of reality" and "chopping up human brains" – although he added the caveat "(neuroscience background)" lest the latter put off potential admirers.

He said applicants should be "of high intelligence, though not necessarily formally educated" and "be able to think strategically about the world and the people she cares about".

"I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil," he wrote. "Western culture seems to forge women that are valueless and inane. OK. Not only women!"

Asked for the "most private thing" he was willing to admit, Mr Assange said he had "Asian teengirl stalkers". He said viewers should contact him if they were "spirited, erotic, nonconformist".

A section of Mr Assange’s profile detailing online quizzes he had completed showed he had been ranked strongly Left-wing and atheist, as well as “87 per cent slut".

Mr Assange, 39, is currently being held in Wandsworth prison awaiting potential extradition to Sweden. He is accused of rape and sexual molestation, which he denies.

I, for one, am shocked that he doesn't like Western culture.

Yeah but "seeking spirited, erotic women from countries that have sustained political turmoil" can be interpreted in so many ways.

The West is vacuous? Maybe. Then again I bet most third world women's reasons to take up a western man are... pretty conservative and old fashioned. Furthermore, it sounds like he is into slumming/favela tourism/sexual exploitation of less capable women. That's a pretty ugly disposition...

I guess astronauts must have the same problem if they're looking for a speedly online hookup. They've got this totally awesome card that they can't play because it makes you sound like a total fantasist.

Ah but with willing, consenting, western, adult, partners who have tons of other options anyhow. That's a bit different from buying a slave girl from her impoverished third world parents to be my sex-toy...

I'd say that still would be in better taste than being a fake Nazi for the evening, precisely because it's real. There's something inherently a bit silly about grown-ups playing dress-up; if it's for real you haven't got that problem. It's still kind of a cliché so I'm not saying it's perfect, but there you go.

Haha... I should publish a whole treatise on the aesthetics of perversion.

Or, he's the epitome of what it once was: questioning, nonconformist, democratic.

Course, these days, who needs ads?

Julian Assange is a glamorous hero – for now - Telegraph

True story. I think the sort-of-rapey-but-not-really aspect only enhances it. All in all it's the sort of milkshake that can't help but bring all the girls to the yard.
