More selfies and pictures of my cat on my profile!

Wanting to find a friend I can grow comfortable with and create a safe, open, welcoming, and validating environment with to message throughout the day. Eventually play games, watch things, and call with. For me I prefer text for a bit, then with calls, it's easier for me if there's a central purpose / focus for the call (game / watch). If it's any condolence, I met some online friends while travelling Europe, and they told me I appear in person exactly as I do online - which meant a lot, because I used to be a real fake asshole and I've come a very long way to change that. I have hurt people, I have hurt myself, and I have been hurt by others throughout that journey.

I won't judge you. I don't care what dark things you have done in the past, I don't care what weird or strange thoughts cross your mind. I want you to feel safe in expressing yourself wholeheartedly, I am not here to judge people. In the past, too often have I, and others, exhausted energy trying to cater towards other people, trying to be what we think would best suit them, to please them, rather than ourselves. If we simply be ourselves, and things don't work out - that's not a bad thing, it is not a negative reflection on either of us, it just happens and it's okay if it does. On the plus side, if things do work out, it's even better, because we haven't laid out any false impressions or expectations. There is a beauty to be found in someone being truthful and honest with who they are, even if someone is a bad person and are struggling with doing the right things, if they can be honest about it, accept the consequences and own it, that's better than being a dick and lying about it.

I want to know what you're enthusiastic and obsessed over, I want you to geek out and be you without any concern about how it may impact our friendship / relationship / connection. There is nothing too freaky, strange, or unusual that could possibly cross your mind, that would push me away or scare me off (with some very rare exceptions, which should typically up anyone off, i.e. sexual crimes, and the like).

So who am I? Who knows, I was trying to figure that out for a very long time, I grew up learning how to read playing Pokemon Blue, I watched Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, Yu-gi-oh and Beyblades as a kid. I grew up and started watching anime and playing more games. Throughout high school I had a depressive MMO addiction which distanced me from my friends and family, ended up in an online relationship for a while, ended up quitting high school and visiting them. But don't worry, I now have a post-graduate degree and even studied in Sweden, travelling Europe for 7 months! Lets just say I made up for lost time.

I work from home, completely, I can work whatever hours I like, so long as I'm available to others throughout regular work hours and so long as I make it to meetings I'm required for. Otherwise, I can take whatever breaks I like and do my hours in the day at any time, or even push the hours to the next day, or do them the day before, etc. Despite this, I do try to keep it consistent and get the majority of my hours done during regular work time.

Outside of work, I live alone with my cat, so I have to do all the housework. Dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms, laundry, bed, cooking, dishes, groceries, etc. With my free time, I'm usually just playing some games with friends, or I'm watching anime, shows, movies, or whatever else. Typically mu day-to-day isn't all that interesting, but I do have more interesting longer-term goals and ambitions.

• 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
• Love Language: My love language is touch. Intimate cuddles. Back scratches. caressing, giving massages (neck, shoulder, back, arms, feet, legs, everywhere!), holding hands, etc.
• Dossier: I'm just a little shy of six foot, I don't care if you're taller, with or without heels, Caucasian, I weigh seventy kilos, I have a ~ thirty-inch waist, long hair (for looks/selfies, see my post history - you'll see my cat too!), 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 be creepy or weird, 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.
  
• Carnivore, mostly just weight meet - primarily chicken, rarely fish. Happy to adopt vegetarian or vegan diet in the future / longterm!
  
• 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).

• 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. I have never played the Halo games and I'd love to find someone to play through them in co-op with on legendary (I suck at fps)! I loved Last of Us (haven't played the sequel yet) and I am INSANELY hyped for the HBO series!!
