Greetings!

I fully realize I'm probably in the wrong place as I'm looking for something that's dating/relationship oriented and NOT casual BUT here I am in the NSFW underworld of Reddit… because well, life is better with companionship and dating apps use deceptive algorithms to keep you swiping.

So let's try this:

Me: I'm 32. 5'4" Between chubby and BBW. Biracial. Warm smile. Dark curly hair, sometimes I add bright colors to remind me of my pop punk youth. Left politically (this is a deal breaker). Vaxxed and Boosted. Love my two rescue pitties. No kids, maybe one day.

Often called a force of nature. Artsy. Educated. Don't smoke or drink. 420 okay. I like painting, podcasts, documentaries, trivia, and recently started gardening (flowers not vegetables). I'm sassy, can find humor in most things, and enjoy deep dive conversations.

You: A SINGLE guy about 28-40 who is intentionally dating oriented. (Married, separated, ENM, cheating, secret girlfriends… I’m not interested.)

Be left leaning/progressive and aware of social issues. Be Vaxxxed. I’m hoping you’re a curious and passionate person, and a consistent communicator with emotional intelligence (therapy is a plus). Have hobbies other than weed and video games/anime/table top games/comic movies. I don't mean this offensively, l'm just not a fair elf maiden superwoman kinda gal. My brain doesn’t work that way. Also, l'm allergic to cats, sorry cat dads.

I’m at the point in my life where matching the effort someone puts in matters. We should all feel heard, seen, and valued.

If you made it this far and this sounds interesting...Let's start with a regular respectful chat and see where it goes. Maybe an actual date? Please start the conversation with an introduction and your favorite breakfast meal. And don’t send a picture until we both feel comfortable!

Cheers!
