I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Even still, I'm seeking a romantic connection as deep and enduring as the tales of Middle-earth. My life, like the diverse landscapes of the Shire's green fields and Rivendell's ethereal beauty, is a rich tapestry of experiences. At my side, you'll find a four-legged hobbit of the canine variety, sharing in my steadfast commitment to the childfree lifestyle—including having been surgically sterilized and wielding no desire to foster, adopt, or be a step-parent to human children. Beyond that, our fellowship is open—though more suited to the company of dogs than cats.

In the spirit of epic quests, I seek a fellow adventurer: a single, monogamous man, 30 or older, whose heart is open to a saga of love and commitment. This quest begins in the realm of long-distance, aiming for a shared destiny. It would be convenient if you were in the U.S., but I'm open to anywhere. Essential to our fellowship is the art of communication—words wielded with honesty, kindness, and the courage to be vulnerable. A lover of laughter, adventure, and the quiet moments in between, my fellow adventurer values emotional intelligence and possesses a soul brave enough to be gentle, able to offer sweetness amidst the storm.

Additionally, since political and spiritual alignments matter, it would be best if you were left-leaning, and not religious. Similarly, while hobbits are known to enjoy the smoking of pipeweed, the consumption of “pipeweed” in any of its many forms (tobacco, vaping, 420, etc.) is disagreeable with me, so I must ask that you abstain. However, the drinking of your “ale” of choice is unbothersome in moderation.

As to who I am, my resilience mirrors that of the dwarves of Erebor, shaped and strengthened by the challenges comprising my own “One Ring.” Yet, my heart holds the warmth and hospitality of a Hobbiton feast, always open to sharing tales and laughter with good company over voice or video chat if not in person. In my leisure, I am an adventurer at heart, similar to Bilbo when he first left the Shire. I enjoy exploring new lands (in real life or through Nintendo's latest installment), indulging in the art of storytelling through movies or other media, or simply enjoying the tranquility of a quiet evening at home.

Amidst my tale, it's paramount to share that, much like the Fellowship's bond, I greatly cherish physical affection and emotional intimacy, and I hold the belief that men also deeply benefit from and deserve affection and tenderness in a relationship. These connections forge our journey's strength, as vital as the elven ropes of Lorien—flexible yet unbreakable, capable of holding us together through the darkest of mines and the highest of peaks.Having improved my mental health significantly, I am now focusing on enhancing my physical well-being and believe that sharing this journey with a caring partner could be enriching for us both.May our bond grow to echo the enduring love of Aragorn and Arwen, standing firm like the roots of ancient trees, intertwined in mutual respect, trust, and unwavering commitment.
