Hi. This post is going to be weirdly honest because, well... Why not?

I am in the Los Angeles area; I just moved here after leaving a series of relationships that have left me a bit weary. To be up front: I talk too much, have the attention span of a sack full of rats in a burning lab and have a habit of being rather hot/cold. Clinical ADHD with a dash of anxiety and trauma for that perfect mix of millennial neuroses.

That said, I'm a terrific person. I think I'm neat, at least. My love and loyalty, when earned, is without end or measure. Though it's hard to see me without a smile, I have a fairly dark and rough past; it is because of that, not in spite of, that I have such a positive outlook now. Through it all, I have learned a rare lesson: I know exactly who I am.

I am very, very smart. For all the hard times, I am extremely charmed and quite aware of my fortune. I have an absolutely unbreakable, if bizarre, sense of humor. Emotional intelligence is just as important as mental intelligence and I pride myself on that. I will cry as easily as I laugh at times and will be the first on to talk about my feelings. Professionally, I am successfully self-employed in work that I truly love.

In terms of appearance, I can confidently say I'm attractive. I'm very expressive in both my face and blue eyes and I earn my living with my voice. I am just under six feet and built very large with a muscular dad bod. My head is shaved, and I have an increasingly silver beard. I'm still a bit of a goth punk at heart and wardrobe, though nowhere near as strictly monochromatic as in the past.

Alright... The hard part. I'm looking for a partner. Not a girlfriend or a lover... A partner. A teammate. Someone to face life together with me. I have no one in my life and everything I have achieved and sustain, I do alone; I'm tired. I need someone to support and encourage me, especially when I get distracted by the void or something shiny. Funny, caring and smart are the most important things to me.

Physically, I prefer someone younger than me and petite/generally small though this isn't rigid. Race and culture is not a factor. I generally prefer nerdy girls or often described as a pixie. Physical attraction, mental engagement and emotional compatibility are all equally important to me.

Did you make it? I barely did. If you made it all the way here, thank you. Even if you don't reach out, I appreciate your time. If you've read this meandering screed and would like to know more about the person who wrote it, say hi. Reach out. I'm a hermit and keep to myself, so bonus points if you can lure me out from under my metaphorical car.
