Look, dating apps suck. And I’m not one to let distance get in the way, even if I hate flying. About me? I’m a 30 year old guy from Iowa, smack in the middle of the country. Close to everything and nothing all at once. I’m 6’1, a big/plus size/fat guy whatever you want to call it. Currently on a weight loss journey, down about 30 pounds already. Still very confident in my own skin, still take care of myself, still active. I work somewhere between part and full time, and I’m currently debating going back to school or moving to a management position. I can’t decide, but I’d be happy to discuss what I’m thinking about with someone. I have long dyed hair, 9 tattoos and counting, and a few piercings. I don’t know if I have a style, I’m somewhere between aging punk/almost goth/hipster nerd all depending on the day. I plan on moving in the near future, whether that be across the state or across the country. I love reading, writing mostly short stories, cooking (will cook for you!), watching movies (mostly horror, action or anything Nic Cage is in), and I’ve gotten back into drawing lately. I love being outdoors and just enjoying myself, too. Not religious, borderline spiritual in some sense. Very left leaning, very open about it. We won’t get along if you aren’t, sorry.

I’m still a romantic at heart. I want the hand holding, cuddling, watching movies together and always spending time together kind of love. Where we can’t get enough of each other. My biggest love languages are quality time and physical touch, I am very affectionate when we build that relationship and bond. But I also understand that until things get very serious we’re both going to have our own lives, too. Communication is key, even if it’s not consistent at the start. We’re both human, but “hey, I’m busy” is a lot better than nothing. To be completely honest, my trust issues have gone downhill over the years, so please understand that. It’s not personal. I may take time to fully be comfortable with you, but I promise you will have my undivided attention once that level has been reached.

I’ve probably written too much for most people at this point, so I’ll quickly get into what I’d be looking for in a partner. Someone preferably mid 20s to mid 30s, give or take a few years. Iowa is preferable, but I am open to anywhere as long as the endgame is to meet in person and hopefully relocate if things get that serious. I’m even open to international, I need an excuse to get my passport. Someone who is kind, caring and understanding of those around them. I tend to go for the more artistic, outgoing, crystal loving, astrology reading, tarot type. While I do believe there needs to be mutual attraction, I want to know you for you. SFW pictures can be exchanged early if we want. Body type, height, etc do not really matter outside of aforementioned mutual attraction. Non-binary, trans, etc are more than welcome to message me as well. If you’re interested in the mixed bag that is me, feel free to message me and tell me about yourself. Tell me your favorite animal, so I know you read this far. Hope to hear from you soon!
