Hey there! Thanks for reading. I’m a 29 year old Hispanic who resides in California, United States. I’m 5’10, have dark brown hair that resides just above my shoulders, brown eyes, glasses and a tattoo on my arm. Something I also want to mention is I’m on the chubby side weighing around 220 pounds, but I’ve been on a diet for almost a year and lost 60 pounds so far (40 to go!) as I’ve adapted to a healthier lifestyle.
I’m typically a shy and quiet person who never really put themselves out there, and with only ever having one girlfriend in their life, I have no idea how to approach people, so I’ve decided to try out here and see where it goes.
Let’s start with the ugly parts: I’m no stranger to depression and anxiety, it’s something I’ve been combating with my entire life, and there are some days where it gets the better of me, however, I’ve been taking measures to improve on myself, and I’m a firm believer that there’s a silver lining to most things. While it can be a miserable feeling, its really taught me a lot about myself and to be compassionate, sympathetic, patient and ultimately understanding. Everybody has their own struggles and we deal with them in different ways and if you are reading this, just know that you’ll never be alone. For those who feel like that may be unnecessary baggage, I’ll never use my internal struggles as excuses or use anybody as an emotional sponge, all I simply ask of you is to be understanding!
Now to the good: I’m a wonderful listener and one of the things I find most attractive is when somebody goes on a tangent about a particular topic and I clearly see how passionate and happy they are to express their excitement, whether it’s a hobby, a musician, a movie, it could be the smallest thing, I just want to share that excitement with you. I’m also huge on affirmation and reassurance, it’s important to validate one’s thoughts and feelings, and it’s extremely important to me to let the other person know that they will always be in a judgment-free zone. While I may not have the most dating experience I can clearly see that it’s a team effort, whenever you’re having one of those days nothing would make me happier to know that I am the person you chose to depend and trust on, I can’t stress enough how honesty is important to me, no matter topic at the end of the day I’m happy you have expressed something that got you down.
Random things and topics I enjoy: psychology, philosophy, astrology, video games, movies, tv shows, music, anime, the occult, whacky conspiracy theories, true crime, documentaries, niche topics and interests, working out, my dog, and so much more.
Favorite tv shows: Malcolm in the middle, king of the hill, bobs burgers, the office, always sunny in Philadelphia, regular show, twilight zone, adventure time, Seinfeld, cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, gravity falls, etc
Favorite movies: Donnie Darko, Inglourious Basterds, Good Will Hunting, Everything Everywhere all at Once, Usual Suspects, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Clerks, virtually every 80s movie
Favorite music: Joy Division, Nujabes, MF DOOM, Dinosaur Jr., Elliott Smith, My Bloody Valentine and so, so much more. I love music and it’s one of my favorite topics, if you don’t know how to start the conversation simply send me a song you enjoy!
This post is too long already, I’m sorry for the huge essay of nothing, but if you’re somehow still interested and would like to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out :)
Good luck, and take care.
