Hi everyone! just turned 28m, located in South Bay Area - CA. A friend recommended trying Reddit for dating so I'm putting my best foot forward. Lots of details so please read through 😁

About me:

physically, 5’11” with a pretty athletic build at $22. Tattoo sleeve and piece on the thigh. Then bay area bog standard piercings at the earlobes

personality, all rounder type of guy from what my friends have to say. pretty much a happy old spirited guy overall

ethnically Korean guy that pretty much grew up within a more conservative area in the midwest, but definitely very open minded. Have both weird old school Korean values and a more modern American mindset mixed, so kind of the best of both worlds. But I've been told very much American, hence the banana.

I'm pretty low maintenance with anything you can name, but I live a life trying not to be complacent. I'm always looking for something new that can push me over the edge, while still being mild and humble. But have lots of roots in being disciplined with myself and holding myself to a higher standard, both from work experience and my upbringing.

I love to talk about philosophy and have deep chats. Even more so I find it really fascinating when other people talk about themselves regarding their life experience and passion. My brain is also like a fun fact machine in its own regard, so I always like learning about new things.

Hobbies,

definitely open here as well. I like the outdoors and am kind of an adrenaline junkie as i used to race motorcycles. Currently into my phases of mountain biking, snowboarding, gym rat life, and hiking. But soon to pick up surfing (might as well since I'm so close to the coast). I like traveling and japan is next on my list.

I’m also a 50/50 homebody. I do like staying at home with more peaceful hobbies. cooking, taking care of my plants, reading, and catching up on old anime (HxH at the moment). I'm happy both indoors and outdoors, maybe add some wine to make it go better,.

Work,

I'm in tech but in a non tech role in a UX team. I’m also currently in the Reserves as well. Working on my career is a part of my non-stagnating mindset, so here's to trying during this job climate.

What I'm looking for:

Someone who’s just really open minded, straight forward and loyal. I’m pretty loyal to a fault but would like the same both ways. Be open to lots of communication and have fun being around each other. However, balancing each others personal life as well. I feel like relationships should elevate each other by support one another but still maintaining each other's individuality.

Would hope you are physically active because I would prefer if we had hobbies in common, but its not as important to me.

Not too much physical preferences either except being in the same vein as your hobbies. Will say taller women are more then welcome as well. So don't be shy 😚.

I’m very much active in all areas when I'm with the right person 😚, also am very much a giver as well. So hopefully a lot of communication here helps.

if you’ve read this far, i’m assuming you’re interested 😅😁

Happy to exchange pictures (SFW please)

I’d love to chat with everyone and please ask any questions. I’m an open book and am very hard to offend in any way. I'm looking with the intentions of dating long term. but see how we vibe and play by ear
