PLEASE be RESPECTFUL and start a NORMAL conversation! If you're the kind of person who ghosts mid conversation, please don't bother.

I fully realize I'm probably in the wrong place as l'm looking for a true connection that's dating/long term relationship oriented and NOT casual BUT dating apps suck. So here I am in the NSFW underworld of Reddit continuing my search. These things take time to develop.

Above all else there needs to be a real connection built that isn’t solely based on sex. Don’t get me wrong, physical touch is my love language. But that’s all boring and empty without getting to know someone. So let’s ask a ton of questions and share our quirks. Maybe you can also turn other peoples sentences into song lyrics?

I'm 31. 5'4". Somewhere between chubby and BBW (short, small end of plus size). Biracial. Warm smile. Left leaning politics. Physical touch and words of affirmation. Fierce. Sarcastic. Sassy. I’ve been called a force of nature. Vaxxxxed and Boosted. Love my two rescue pitties. Podcast listener, true crime watcher. No kids. Artsy. Retired pop punk concert goer who still sometimes has pink or purple hair. Don't smoke or drink. 420 okay. FYI. Separated-Divorce is on the horizon, but America's healthcare system, am I right?

YOU: A guy about 28-40 (slightly flexible on this range) who is actually intentionally dating/LTR oriented. I fully recognize relationships don’t just happen, but your intentions matter. Be kind. Be honest. Be left leaning/ progressive with a solid understanding of social issues (DEALBREAKER). Be Vaxxed (dealbreaker again). A good and consistent communicator with emotional intelligence, therapy is a plus in my book. Be passionate and curious. Pursue me. Ask questions. Have hobbies other than weed/comic books/ crypto/video games/anime. Be Single - NO married or partnered men (Dealbreaker... I know I know).

If you made it this far and this sounds interesting. Let’s start with a regular respectful chat. Introduce yourself and tell me your favorite breakfast cereal! Let's chat to see if we click, then go on a real date and enjoy summer!
