I realize looking through the posts that most people on here aren't looking for something long-term but I thought I'd try anyway!

I'm a 27 year old bisexual man, 275 lbs, 6ft tall, with a glorious beard. I'm seeking a woman, man, theybie, or other to fall in love with. Also open to a closed poly relationship.

I work as a software engineer. My hobbies include:

Fishkeeping - I keep a few fishtanks! I find cleaning and making the tanks work to be quite enjoyable.

Reading - I love to read (though I do a lot of audiobooks now when I'm low on time). I mostly read Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels.

YouTube - I watch a lot of YouTube, but barely any TV.

Video Games - Mostly OSRS and Minecraft, but also basically just whatever games I can play with my friends.3

Anime - I love watching anime! Subs only! Favorites are Overlord, Ouran Highschool Host Club, and Log Horizon!

I also adore animals. I have cats now but I'm also quite a dog person. In general though, I like all animals, and find spending time with them really enjoyable - probably why I keep fishtanks haha.

As for sexually, I feel like for the most part it's something we will talk about when we get to it, I'm not the kind to have sex on the first date. I have no STIs or other diseases (I'd appreciate if you didn't either and we could test together before doing anything)

One thing I should mention is that I am firm in my pan/bisexuality, but I've never had relations with a man before - so if that ends up being you... you might have to hold my hand lol!

Sex/Kink wise - I'm obviously submissive/passive, I like being told what to do. Into collars, leashes, slight degradation (but not like mean), and a lot of other stuff so ask!

Politically I'm socially liberal (obvs) and economically conservative (basically I don't like taxes haha)

As for what I'm looking for in a partner:

Theres no particular character archetype that I'm interested in - I like tomboys as much as girly girls, femboys as much as buff dudes, etc etc.

What's more important is that I'd like my partner to take the lead in the relationship. Now sure how to phrase that better, I guess you could say that I'm somewhat submissive. I'd rather not have to deal with the stuff like picking a restaurant or calling to make the reservation. I like when my partner knows what we want and takes the initiative on their own to make small decisions for us as a couple (plus I hate arguing about where we're gonna eat haha). Kinda like a low stakes total power exchange kinda thing. We can figure it out as we go :)

Ideally you'd be an animal person, you'd like playing video games, you'd like to read, and you'd like to snuggle. Please let me know what your hobbies are, a general description of you (photo would be great but not required until we get to know each other a bit), and whatever else you think is important!

Thanks for reading and if you're interested and read this far make sure to put the word 'teddy bear' at the beginning of your message, so I know who read and who didn't! <3?
