For sex, someone’s political convictions don’t matter to me at all. Horrible political convictions might even be a kind of very short-term kink. For anything else, total dealbreaker.

I’m 42 and still can’t even pretend to like jazz (excluding John Coltrane’s Blue Train or Keith Jarrett’s Köln Concert, the first because it is legitimately great and the second because he grunts a lot during the recording and it is also great).

I’m dead.

Good point...

45?

I actually consciously overpack. I usually travel for conferences, and find that I want to shower and change clothes (short, underwear, and socks) at the end of the day, so I like to have more than what I would strictly need. I don’t pack more than one set a day for travel days or weekends.

Totally.

I went through an Ayn Rand phase as a teenager, and I read all her stuff, including her essays. There is also an interesting intellectual biography of her that was published a few years ago.
