Hola! I'm a 25 year old graduate student (STEM-adjacent) from the United States. I am closer to the South, but while proximity is great, I'm open to people anywhere potentially. When it comes to a relationship, I am hoping to find the one and fall in love for the long run. I believe in having commonalities when it comes to core values but oodles of contrast when it comes to physical appearance.

As for myself, I love to learn things, I'm curious about the world, I go a bit too heavy on the screen time, and I love spending time with my friends and family. I'm politically liberal but open-minded as long as the other person is sensible and respectful. I love nature and spending time outdoors and think it is important to preserve natural beauty. I am a big foodie and love trying new restaurants, cooking new things, and baking sweet treats. I love to travel, and trying new food and cuisines is a big part of why I love it. I love to workout and run, but I keep it mostly to myself and do not (nor do I intend to) push it onto my friends or a future partner, ever. As for my appearance, I am tall and slim, with a little bit of muscle (nothing excessive).

My ideal woman would share an appreciation for the world, have a curiosity for learning things, value education to some degree, and be passionate about their own hobbies. She does not have to be super ambitious, but accomplishments no matter how big or small are always wonderful to hear about. She does not have to be STEM-minded, by any means. Just being eager to talk about some hobby or teach me something new, that's the stuff that resonates with me. If she was a foodie, that would hit the spot... at the very least, someone who likes exploring new restaurants with me and enjoying the things I make :).

In terms of appearance, I do prefer a partner that is plus size. By that, I don't mean someone that is thick, midsize, or slim-passing, I mean someone that is considered plus size, super size, or "fat". (Is anyone here familiar with Loey Lane? Her, not thick!) No offense intended towards those who don't match my preference. After dating people of all shapes and sizes in the past, I now simply recognize my preference and hope you can respect that.
