Sup Y'all! I'm Cole, 30, and live in Northern California (somewhere between SF and Sacramento). I'm looking to connect with people, whether romantically or platonically. Ideally, I'd love to find someone local for a romantic relationship, but I'm totally open to long-distance friendships too! And just to put it out there—I’m Black and plus size, and I’d love to connect with more BIPOC and plus-size folks!

Things I’m Down For: - Running errands? I'm in. - Going to an event in SF? Let's do it. - Watching a TV show together? Absolutely.

A Little About Me: I came out a few years ago, but most of my friends have moved away since graduating college. So here I am, looking for someone to send memes and TikToks to and say, “That’s so us.”

I’m a sucker for local events—live music, art museums, pop-ups, fairs and even the occasional day party. I’m also on a mission to celebrate Pride in different cities (currently at a whopping two, lol). I enjoy light hikes (nothing too intense), traveling, surprisingly I’ve been to Wisconsin. Ask me about it.

I work in STEM, so my job can be pretty demanding (40-50 hours a week), but I make time for the things I love. I’m a nerdy hardcoregamer (Sims and Animal Crossing lol), love superhero movies and tv shows, indulge in reality TV, and enjoy a good drama or documentary. We can always binge-watch together on Discord! I’ve also got a bartop arcade with 500 retro games, and I use my Wii remote as a light gun. (Yes, I’m that cool.) I have some comic books, action figures and Legos in my collection, too. I am currently re-watching 90s anime like Dragon Ball and planning a Sailor Moon binge next.

Fun Facts: - I’ve been to two national parks and plan to visit more. Next up? Universal Studios for Nintendo Land (I will meet Yoshi, and it will be glorious) - I’m childfree, leftist, and monogamous. - I live in multigenerational housing with my disabled parent because rent is a nightmare, and honestly, why not save some money?

Sports and Hobbies: I’m a casual sports fan who catches a few games a year, even though my football and baseball teams have deserted me (thanks, Oakland). I also love watching UFC and boxing. Once upon a time, I played rugby, boxed, and threw shot put and discus. Now, I’m a proud member of the Crocs and Couch Potato Club, but I’ve built a tiny gym in my backyard shed and commited to work out 3x a week.

.I’m a sneakerhead, but lately, it’s been all about the Crocs life lol (ask me about my favorite pair) I mainly listeh out to rap, R&B, and hip-hop but have surprised myself by going to a metal show.

A Few More Tidbits: - I have a puppy named Jax who’s been my hiking buddy (on those relatively flat trails, of course). - I have two tattoos and some piercings and would love to get more. Extra points if you’ll come with me—I’m a bit of a baby about it.

If any of this resonates with you, especially if you’re BIPOC and/or plus size, or if you just want someone to chat with, hit me up! Leave a comment or send me a message. Let’s see where this adventure takes us. I made all this on mobile so my advanced apologies for bad formatting
