Hey 👋
My name is Adrian, what's yours?
Why am I here? Well even after being the most physically fit I've ever been in my life, I still have no success on dating apps. (Was an XL my whole life, I am now officially a small.) Used to be ~260 lbs..
IRL, if my car is not next to me, I lose what little "game" I have. Idk, I guess my car is my "safe space". Think of it as my car is an extension and the extroverted version of me. Has my personality and style, but is definitely a looker and grabs attention. (It's a 1995 Acura Integra GSR - Competition Spec Track Car, (check my Instagram in my reddit profile!) And it goes without saying. Only a real man drives manual (stick shift).
As hinted previously, I'm super introverted and shy.. (I joke all the time I got it from my Mom, it's all her fault >_<). I even built my current car because she used to own my car brand new stock back in 1995. On the plus side, I'm an open book, so feel free to talk about literally anything with me!
Politically I'm a Democrat. Religiously I'm an Atheist. (I grew up Catholic, converted to Christianity, now an Atheist. But you can believe whatever you want.) Ironically my Step Dad is a Pastor. So you can say I know the Bible pretty well.
Physically, I'm 5'10', Asian (Filipino) always shave my facial hair, 192lbs (fluctuates as I'm running to lose belly fat, but at the same time, building muscle as well.) My current goal is to be "toned" in 3 months. Basically my arms are going to look good! From there, my co worker who's helping me at the gym, told me I decide what I want from that point. (Either Bulk up and get bigger, or just keep what I have and maintain it.) I also love getting a Mani/Pedi that costs $95 for the permanent clear coat.
As mentioned in my title, I'm a huge Car enthusiast. Grew up watching an anime called "Initial D", that started my love for underpowered Japanese cars, purely because going around a corner is more interesting than who has the most money spent on a car in a straight line. The first Fast and Furious and Tokyo Drift, pretty much insured I was obsessed with modified cars. I could have bought a new $30K car soo many times (was eyeing a Manual Subaru Brz) but I knew it would be stock for a longg time if I did, I'd rather have an old super modified car. Maybe when I get a second full time job, my thinking will change..
What makes me a nerd? Well I have a high end custom built PC with 4 monitors. (Check my Twitch if your curious.) Nothing on my setup is cheap. And of course I have all the consoles. And a LG C1 120htz OLED 55' TV, with a surround sound system. (Sound bar, and rear speakers). I even sit on a $1700 Herman-Miller-X-Logitech-G Embody Gaming Chair. I also have a "Budget" Asus Rog 17.3' Gaming Laptop with a 4070 and 32GB RAM. Ironically I never use my laptop for gaming. I just want my portable setup when I travel to be almost as quick and snappy as my PC setup. (I even have 2 portable Asus Rog 17.3 Monitors). I prefer Marvel over DC, but I watch both! I'm one of the rare few who didn't hate the ending of Game of Thrones... I haven't watched House of the Dragon yet.
Gaming wise, I have a huge ~50 Game backlog (not including PC) that I already know I will never make a dent on unless I win a Poker Tournament and am able to not work anymore. But competitive wise, it will always be the latest Halo game. I used to compete in LAN tournaments back in the day. I definitely want to compete one more time before I hit 30yrs old. Last time I played any games was at least 3 months ago. (If I have free time I'm always tired, would rather just watch Twitch/YouTube). But I'm about 5 hours into Hogwarts Legacy. #RavenClaw Love it! Before that, I was almost done beating the Mass Effect 3 remake. And of course I love racing games! On every Forza, I always make sure all the simulation settings are turned on. (I have a Thrustmaster Steering Wheel w/Shifter setup). And I always build my IRL car in game (same mods and power), and always drive it instead when possible.
What I am I looking for? Well aside from a serious relationship, obviously mutual attraction is important. So definitely be HWP, but being a little chubby is fine, just not obese. (Pics are definitely a must! Either pics on your reddit profile like me, or a selfie with your username and today's date). Age range is 18-42. When I was 21, I dated a 26 yr old, and when I was 26, I dated a 20 yr old, so the age gap doesn't really matter to me. If we vibe, then we vibe. I assume if your replying to this post, we have similar interests?
Location wise, I live in East Elmhurst, NY (5mins away from LGA Airport). Because I have a car, I'm willing to travel for the right person. (Car can't handle rain, or if your super far away, it can't handle hot weather (aka 90 °F due to over heating). Also my A/C only works when it's like 80°F, so I don't want you to be uncomfortable lmao. On the plus side, I have Spotify premium, so feel free to put on your music! Otherwise we're listing to EDM. Another Con, is because it has Track Suspension, you will feel every - single - bump - on the road. Basically I love Long Island because the roads are perfect and I won't break my car.
I currently work as a Sales Associate at a Tech store at Terminal B LGA. If we ever get serious, you know where I'm at financially, and why I want a second full time job.
*Random facts about me I couldn't put in my neat paragraphs*
-I used to watch The Bachelor/ The Bachelorette religiously, so I consider myself a hopeless romantic.
-My love language is quality time and physical touch. Let's go on dates, or have a chill night in! Hand holding, kissing, and cuddling. I want the butterfly feelings 🥰
-I have all the parts needed to finish my car, but I can't afford the labor. (Brand new HardRace suspension components, $3k Seibon Carbon Fiber Doors. I was quoted $2K alone to install the doors due it not being a perfect fit, and fabrication needs to done.)
-I might be going to Japan in November for 2 weeks, which is another reason I don't want to at least fix my suspension on my car.
-Studied 2 years of Aeronautical Engineering at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology (Can't afford to finish..)
-This post took me exactly 1 hour and a half to write out.
Anyways if you made it this far, takes for reading my post! Let's chat for a bit and go on a date!
