I am

- Longing for deep connections & conversations. All my life I've been surrounded by people who prefer small talk, even to the extent of mocking me for asking something more substantial.

- Fun loving. I love acting like a child sometimes. Running and jumping for the sake of running. I'm convinced that people don't ever grow up, they just get responsibilities & forget how to have fun.

- Optimistic about people. Assuming good intentions and behavior, before being proven different

- Introverted. My social battery runs out depending on the topic. I can talk a long time about deep topics, but I want to end the conversation after a minute of small talk.

- Considerate. Mostly about avoiding bringing negativity or intrusion to other people's lives.

- I am curious about: Programming, politics, science, engineering, history, ethnology, psychology, philosophy, epistemology, gardening, cooking, DIY. In addition to the more usual ones of enjoying stories through various media. Even if I don't share your interest, it is more likely than not that I'll be curious to learn about it. Sometimes I even like when stuff breaks, because I can feel good both about indulging in the curiosity, and doing something productive meanwhile.

- Dejected about most examples of unfairness. The horrible state of being unable to fight or run from authority is all too familiar to me.

- Fervent about keeping my word, which comes with a bit of a reluctance to give it in the first place.

- A disappointed idealist.

- Not close with my family, either due to their traditional mindset or them being a bad person. So, a potential relocation would come easier without such strings.

- Straightedge(no alcohol, smoking, drugs). I'd prefer my partner to be likewise.

- Mostly vegetarian, due to the health and environmental reasons.

- Fond of pets, but apprehensive about attaching to any.

- A minimalist. About words, appearance, possessions to name a few.

- Reasonably healthy. Slightly above average BMI. I do light exercise in the form of hiking, but I hope to establish habits through which more intense exercise comes more easy.

- Seeking to genuinely understand. The world, myself, other people.

- Sensitive, reasonably in touch with my feelings. I detest toxic masculinity.

- Preferential to expressing my love through touches, quality time and acts of service. Even though words of affirmation don't come naturally to me, I'm trying to make expressing them a habit of mine.

- Childfree. I could potentially see myself adopting if I'm reasonably sure that I could provide someone a happy life.

- Way less rigid than this post makes me out to be.

Ideally, let's start voice chatting right away. Otherwise, send me your introduction through a message or chat. Short small talk like "Hi" or "How are you?" are going to be ignored. It would be nice if you introduced yourself and included some of your favorite topics to discuss when first meeting someone online.

Thanks for reading my post.
