Hi! The world is an existential nightmare, but it could be a nightmare we share together!
I'm a professional writer and game designer looking for a long-term relationship. No kids (got the snip), no prior marriages, no addictive substances (except sugar). Pretty far-left political stances.
I'd love to meet someone curious, clever, and confident. Bonus points for people with gothy/punk/alternative styles, but that's not a dealbreaker or anything (I would like someone to help me pick out tattoos). No smokers, please! That is a dealbreaker.
I've been around enough to know what I'm looking for and not to settle. I strive for open communication, patience, honesty, a problem-solving attitude toward conflict, and compassion/empathy/understanding/patience. Self-improvement and being up-front are important to me. Communication has recently been a problem with prospective partners over the last couple years, so I want to stress that I'm not the right fit for someone who's conflict-avoidant or who doesn't approach their partner with the benefit of the doubt. For me, there's no point in a relationship if you can't trust each other and feel safe with each other even when you disagree about something. Just trying to learn and grow with a partner while we complement each other.
I'm mostly fit (though my cardio is garbo), slender, and 6'0, and I've been told I'm handsome if you like guys with shaved heads- Ideally would like to be with someone of a similar build/fitness and generally around my age /- 9 years. I love a faux-combative dynamic with partners - giving each other low-key shit. Life's no fun unless we're being a little mean to each other (Them Statler and Waldorf vibes, right?)
I'm definitely more of a homebody/introvert, but I like walks, swimming, working out, and indoor rock climbing. But you're more likely to find me playing some kind of game or hyperfixating on research. I'm affectionate and mostly silly even if I take a lot of topics seriously. I try to view life with humor, but I've got anxiety/depression, so I'd prefer to be with someone who at least understands mental health issues.
It generally takes me a minute to warm up to someone until I have a good idea of how we mesh and what kind of affection/banter works well with us. I err on the side of caution, so let me know if you want me to shift gears!
If you weren't driven off by my writing style/density, please give me a holler and we can be snarky weirdos together~ It's summer and I wanna hang out in a raft on a lake with someone! (I would really appreciate a picture with your message if you're comfortable with it. I just don't want to waste your time if the attraction's not there!)
