Or at least that's one possible outcome.

Hi. I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis as my buddy likes to say. (Stings every time he says it btw)

I'm not sure what a mid-life crisis really is. The fact is that I was morbidly obese for a very long time. I spent my days hiding away from the world and sought sanctuary on a couch. Luckily for me, keto turned out to be the lifestyle that worked. Suddenly the weight just started falling off. I felt great, and it showed in everything I did. That's about the time that the fat boy started getting attention from the opposite sex. Frankly, I didn't know how to handle it because it felt like the first time that I was attractive without having to "sell" my personalty. Funny enough, gaining confidence and being "attractive" led to SO many problems, namely that it directly countered the very negative opinion I held of myself. Turns out I was co-dependent AF. I lived my life for other people because I didn't really like myself all that much.

It was a very hard thing to accept but also made SO much sense. I remember reading a book all about co-dependency, and it felt like the first time someone introduces you to astrology, and you're all like "OMG you guys, I AM totally emotional and empathetic. I'm TOTALLY a Pisces!" but it was for some not so positive traits... so yay!

I feel like I'm on a journey to figure some stuff out. I'm getting to know myself. Figuring out what I like. Asking important questions. Organizing priorities. Life is an adventure and I'm doing my best.

You gotta keep in mind that all I know is being a shut-in, so this outside world is a little bit frightening, but I'm trying to play it cool.

The plan, as it stands, is that I continue working full-time while going to school in my off-hours until I get my degree. At that point I figure I'd weigh my options and the general climate of the country. I have daydreams of owning a two-bedroom flat in Madrid (named after the city) and being able to spend my free time learning about a ton of cultures, not to mention being a landing pad for my brother (he's my heart).

Thank you for getting this far, I promise that we're getting to the end...

Frankly, there's a lot of ins and outs through this story and one of my best qualities is my Adaptability. It's been the thing that's helped me succeed through all of this.

I would love to find someone that's down for the journey. I think you're fun with a killer smile. You love hiking and live for music. You're down to joke, never take yourself too seriously, and love being close. Make out sessions hold a special place and strong hands make it all the better. You love feeling wrapped up because as much as I've lost I'm still a big guy. You like getting high and talking about everything from space to solving the world's problems. Staring into each other's eyes over beers at a local brewery is tops.

Come on, I know you're out there.

You won't shy away from a marathon snuggle fest that includes Aliens, Some Kind of Wonderful, and a professional wrestling match for the ages or two. You dig board games and don't mind settling debates in fun sexy ways.

Be fun. Have a great smile. Love talking. I think this thing works best over the phone, and then irl when the time is right.
