They say your functions should be DRY, but in this case I’m looking for a WET one. Ideally there’s a sizable union in our Venn diagram with just enough contrast to keep things interesting and complement each other nicely. For the most part, we’re running the same algorithms and, through either redundancy or variation, we can help catch the other if they were to try and fail in their pursuits. Going it alone is rough. If you’ll be my callback then I’ll be yours.

My life is simple, many would say boring; I like it that way, but it does get lonely. I work full time. I usually spent whatever cognition is left over, in low key activities - watching tv, reading, playing a video game - things like that. If the mood strikes I might work on a little project here and there, those are usually technology related in some fashion. My adventures are mild - going to that one coffee place or restaurant, a relaxing walk, or perusing a thrift or a book store.

That’s all to say, I’m looking for someone who I think is like me. Someone who might routinely feel on the outside looking in, who's content with a simple and largely domestic lifestyle. Someone who considers themselves more on the introverted side, and is kind, honest, curious, quiet, modest, humble, observant, reserved, and stable. You tend to avoid busy and loud spaces and unknown situations probably give you a bit of anxiety, so you strategize as much as possible before making your move. You tend to overthink and overanalyze by nature. When you like someone you want to know precisely how their mind works and with every probing question, observation, and discussion, you add a component to your schematic. Eventually, words aren't necessary but, for now, words are all that's available here. You’re not perfect, and that’s fine - I’m far from it.

I'm not particularly interested in more pen pals, so if you respond then there should be an intent at pursuing something real, eventually, in whatever form that may take. I don't care what we talk about, everything we say will be novel and therefore interesting, but you do have to engage. I want to know everything anyways, from the most mundane choice to the deepest thought. Ideally, we will both be open to discussing anything.

My preference would be to exchange pictures early to establish mutual attraction as, unfortunately, this is important to me and I'm painfully selective as it turns out - Sorry, I don’t make the rules. That's always awkward, but let's both agree up front that's it's nothing personal. Here's one of me so that you can decide beforehand. Additionally, in the vein of dealbreakers:

• Not really interested in politics.
• I’m not religious, but enjoy it as a subject.
• I’m not opposed to pets, but pet ownership feels absurd to me.
• I’ve transitioned from smoking cigarettes to vaping incessantly, so maybe don't respond if you find that distasteful.
• Don't enjoy 420 or other drugs really, but a night out drinking can be fun.
