Disclaimer: Not actually a cowboy, sorry to disappoint!

Hey y’all! I’ve been lurking on Reddit for a few weeks now, reaching out to some people but nothing has quite clicked or worked out yet so I figured I’d give it a try myself for the first time in quite some time. Apologies in advance as this will likely be a fairly long post.

I’ll be honest and say I’m primarily looking for a long term relationship, but if you’re looking for general connections feel free to shoot me a message as well if you think we’d get on well. As far as relationships go, I’m monogamous and looking for the same.

About Me: I’m Kevin, recently turned 32, and I’m from NW Florida. I live close to the ocean and lots of other water and that’s always been one of my favorite things. It’s quite a nice mixture of city and small town life, beachy and rural depending on the direction you go.

Physically, I’m about 5’8”, a little less than 200 lbs. I’ve been steadily losing weight the last year or two as I started eating better and trying to be more active. I’ve got dark brown hair and a beard that I usually keep relatively trimmed and neat, hazel eyes that are usually on the blue side. I don’t have any tattoos, but I do plan on getting one soon.

Music is one of my greatest passions in life. I grew up on ‘emo’, pop punk, hardcore, metalcore, that manner of things. Some of my favorites has always been Dance Gavin Dance, Pierce the Veil, Taking Back Sunday, more recently Knocked Loose. As I’ve gotten older, though, I find myself growing into my roots a lot more. In recent years I’ve gotten really into alternative country like Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Sturgil (I really don’t like pop country much), plus a good bit of classic country, Americana, folk, bluegrass. I go to as many shows as I can manage and convince friends to go to with me, both for stuff I loved when I was younger and the country side of things. I even flew out to Vegas for the first When We Were Young. Love sharing music with people - tell me some things you like and I’d love to make you a playlist.

Some of my other interests include writing and roleplaying (tabletop more recently but I’ve been writing for nearly 20 years), video games (I’m not much of a competitive gamer), true crime/conspiracy/paranormal podcast/YouTube rabbit holes, swimming, camping, craft beer and bourbon, reading on occasion, Pokémon Go adventures, history and learning about random things, and plenty more.

I don’t smoke weed but I don’t care if you do. I don’t smoke cigarettes or do hard drugs.

Politically, I’m aggressively moderate. I don’t like extremes on either side and try to see both sides of the coin. I personally think people should be allowed to do what they want as long as no one is getting hurt. Most of my friendgroup are quite liberal and I have plenty of people close to me on the LGBT spectrum. But then much of my family is quite conservative and some are fairly religious. So I am pretty well stuck in the middle, as I’m very close with my family and obviously love my friends. I mostly try to avoid politics unless it’s something I feel strongly about.

I should go ahead and put this out there as to not drop it on anyone after talking for a while. I’m legally blind and thus disabled and can’t drive. I have quite poor vision but can still see. Happy to explain more in conversation.

About You: Ideally, you’re also looking for a serious and long-term relationship. Obviously neither of us should be too eager to jump in head first without getting to know one another, but that is the end goal for me. Hopefully we share some common interests and tastes and the like.

Age-wise, my preference would be something like 25-32, but there’s a year or two of wiggle room on either side. Location is similar. Obviously it’d be great if you’re in Florida or the south in general, but I’m open to anywhere in the US or somewhere like Canada or the UK/Ireland. If you’re not relatively close, it’d be great if you were open to meeting up or even relocation in the future given I’d like it to be a long-term relationship. Physically, we all have our preferences and I’m no different, but those are obviously preferences and not requirements like the above stuff. I love short, pale girls with blue or green eyes, but like I said, don’t take that as I won’t be interested if you’re not that. I’d love a photo when you message me and I’m more than happy to do the same, but a description is more than okay if you’re not comfortable yet.

Oh, one last note. Voice and voice chats/calls are a big thing for me. Obviously every conversation can’t and shouldn’t be over a call, but if you’re not okay with them on occasion once we get comfortable enough, that may not work well for me.

Thanks so much for reading all this if you made it this far. I have no secret word or anything, but something more than ‘hello’ would be lovely. Also, if you prefer Discord as a means of chatting, feel free to send that and I’ll add you. I’m pretty well an open book, so feel free to ask any questions you have! Hope you’re having a good week so far.
