I'm looking for someone to exchange meaningful communications and experiences with - heavy on the quality over quantity. My preferred style of writing is letter-based or pen pal style, rather than short 1-2 sentence texts. Open to anyone, with a slight preference for women, but for clarity I'm not interested in exchanging pics or sexting. Perhaps the latter with the right connection, but it's not my intention with this opportunity. I require alone time once and a while, but I'm happy to be clear when that is/to give someone their alone time. I'm not clingy, easily offended, or high maintenance. Chill but smart = my personality.

What I want in a match is someone open-minded, intelligent, kind and courteous, interested and engaged but not overly clingy, and emotionally intelligent. Critical thinking skills are important, but emotional support is a high priority to me. If you've been to therapy, we're off to a good start.

About myself, I'm a stoic, intelligent person with a good sense of humour, critical thinking skills, emotional intelligence, and pragmatism. Equally as likely to be outside hiking as I am to be researching clinical medicine. Married and unhappy but cannot leave due to external reasons, which I can explain more in DMs if warranted.

Deal breakers: any anti-science beliefs (ex. anti-vaxx); extremist politics (ex. hateful ones); inability to respect others' perspectives and priorities; heavily dramatic or rigid, rule-based personalities (we are too different - no disrespect intended)

Looking forward to hearing from you.
