Is it just me or do you also feel like the world has slowly given up on deep, meaningful connections? Think back to when you were a little kid, like me, you probably felt a sense of purpose and joy from the things you did, where did that feeling go? In a world full of 30 second clips, tik-toks, headlines, situationships, and temporary interests that feeling has been lost. I don't have the power to change the world, I don't have the ability to reach countless hearts and minds and to move them, but I do have the power to change myself. I want to be better, I want to rediscover that inner child that saw the world with eyes full of hope and wonder. I know I have it in me, to be that same carefree spirit that genuinely loves unconditionally, that isn't afraid to commit to something. I don't know how I'm going to get there or how long it's going to take but I want to be the best version of myself I can possibly be. If I have it in me, I know you do too, we all do. And if I'm going to go on this long journey then why not find a partner to join me?

I don't just want to find someone to casually talk to and forget about in a couple weeks, I want to find someone I can form a deep connection with. Ideally, we can get to know each other for who we really are, behind the walls we've put up to protect ourselves. Instead of falling into the trap of being infatuated with who we think the other person is, let's actually learn to understand one another so we can hopefully someday feel genuine love for each other. I know that it's hard, it's scary, and it's painful, but it's worth it. Love requires a few major things to happen, attraction, chemistry, and compatibility. So, let's start with attraction. As the title suggests, I'm 27 years old, a proud short king standing at a whopping 5'7, painfully white, skinny af because I can't eat consistently, with short black hair and a clean shaven face. I'd like to think that I could be attracted to a wide variety of women but if I'm going to seek something genuine then I need to be honest about who I'm attracted to. This by no means is going to be an exact requirement, more of a wish-list, so if this doesn't exactly describe you that doesn't mean I won't find you attractive. Ideally, you're my height or shorter, relatively skinny but a little extra to cuddle with would be awesome, I can't resist freckles or redheads so god help me if you are both, and finally you obviously need to at least be 18 but no older than 32. Honestly, I can find a lot of different body types and styles attractive so just send me a picture after we start talking and I'll be honest about whether or not I'm attracted! Of course, I'll send a picture of myself so you can decide if you're attracted to me too! As for chemistry, I'm an introvert who plays video games too much and I yap about my interests way too damn much, I'm a little nerdy and kind of reserved, very non-confrontational but will stand up for myself when pushed. I prefer being indoors but I'm willing to go out if I'm asked to, although I'm always down to try something new so that's a surefire way to get me out of the house. And finally, compatibility, which is something we'll figure out through chatting! Major deal-breakers would be I don't ever want children, I'm in the military so I go away for months at a time, and I'm agnostic, I don't have any problem with any religion but if you're looking for someone who shares your views it ain't me, sorry.

That was a lot, if you read to this point then honestly thank you, I'd love to hear from you. I have no problem chatting on here but the sooner we move to calling and being able to speak to each other the faster I'll come out of my shell. I'd appreciate if you include something for me to work with in your opening message, at the very least say something more than "hey".
