Nowadays I work Mon-Fri (from home, somewhat flexible hours, I love the work I do), some times I go hiking on the weekend, and otherwise I watch anime (though not so much lately), shows, movies or play games (PC), either by myself, or with the few (online) friends I have. A majority of my local friends moved interstate, and previous friendships divided after my last long-term relationship break up (6 years, mutual breakup in 2019). Additionally, I live alone with my cat, so I keep myself and my house clean (sweep, vacuum, mop, dust, laundry, etc), and whilst I'm not a great cook, I survive!

See my profile for selfies and pictures of my cat.

For me, love is about discovering your best friendship, discovering new levels of trust, discovering and creating an environment, together, where you do not raise your voice at one another, where you do not get mad or angry at one another. Where you acknowledge that mistakes and misunderstandings happen and you don't let past incidents build up, accumulate, and impact your future emotions over time. You understand and respect one another in the sense that some times things are just what they seem, there are no implicit underlying conditions or metaphors, you feel safe to be direct.

It's about showing one another that no matter how weird, strange, or unusual you pr your thoughts may be, you can be you, and in doing so, it won't have a negative impact on the relationship or impression they have of you. But in order for this to work, you have to show them the same. Don't get aggressive. Don't accuse people of things, try to assume the best in them, and show them your best too. Be positive, not negative. If you assume someone is hiding something because they're afraid of what you might think, don't accuse them, just try to let them know that it's safe for them to come to you about anything and that you would never invalidate or disregard what they have to say or how they feel, and if they disagree with their thoughts, support them through it!

Dossier

Some basic things about me, in list form, I suppose. Selfie posts on my profile! If you're comfortable sharing yourself, please send a picture! If there is anything in this post that you click or vibe with, or something specific that makes you want to reach out, let me know what it is!

• Sex? One thing I like to start off with: I am ace friendly! I am not a particularly sexually driven individual, if you have a highly active sex drive, I may not be the right guy for you. I have some kinks, I'm open to flirting, open to exploring myself more with the right person, but I do not see it as a necessity. My love language is physical touch. Think intimately entangled cuddles (naked too), fondling, caressing, providing massages, that kind of thing. I can be and can get a little perverted in these kinds of cases, but that doesn't mean I'm trying to pressure into sex
• Dossier: I'm just a little shy of six foot, I don't care if you're taller, with or without heels, Caucasian, 73kg, ~30" waist, long hair (for looks/selfies, see my post history - you'll see my cat too!), Carnivore (mostly just white meat, and I'm open to becoming vegetarian!). I'd appreciate it if you sent a picture too, I'll understand if you don't or would prefer to chat a bit first! I'm not here to judge or invalidate people, I'm not going to think you're weird or strange no matter what you might tell me about yourself.
  
• Religion: Atheist, but I respect and can appreciate religion and cultures of all kinds!
• I do not smoke or do drugs, I'd prefer you don't either. One exception when I was in EU and had a special brownie.
• Alcohol, some times and socially, typically only special occasions or specific social meet ups. I get talkative, bubbly, and extremely positive when I drink, my optimism peaks and I just really relax and vibe (it eases my anxieties and nerves).
• Anime: Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan (I have not yet seen final season part two), Full Metal Alchemist (original and Brotherhood), Made In Abyss, Air, SHE the ultimate weapon (Saikano), Eureka Seven, Ragnarok, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) - I haven't watched a lot lately.
• Video games: Recently played Limbo, Ori and the Blind Forest, Hollow Knight, currently playing Horizon: Zero Dawn, loved Fantasy Life an AC:NL on 3DS, I have a Switch but never finished Zelda BoTW.
• Programmer and PC (discord) nerd.
• I like walking and hiking.
• I read some times (fiction).
• Netflix and chill actually means Netflix and chill (nothing else, not a metaphor ffs)
• Shows: Stargate SG-1 (a fav)m IT Crowd, Mighty Boosh, Black Books, Stranger Things, The Witcher, Dark, Gravity Falls, Rick and Morty, The Office, Seinfeld, Becker, Mr. Robot (never finished this one though), Final Space, Smiling Friends, House, Sherlock, Dragon Prince, Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
• Film: Marvel (though I'm behind a bit on some films), Disney, Dreamworks (HTTYD is fav), Don Bluff (Anastasia), Studio Ghibli, Weathering With you, Silent Voice, Your Name, Fantasy, Horror, Action, Comedy, I'll watch almost anything, especially if I get to watch it with someone!
• I watch subbed anime, I watch Netflix with subtitles on
• Music: I have a Spotify list to share! (it gets filtered here)
• If I was four inches tall, I'd hide in your pocket!

Bonus, but not required, if you have never played the Halo games (I haven't either) and would be down to co-op through the campaign together, don't hesitate to reach out!
