Hey there! I am a 34-year-old mixed black woman from the California Bay Area, and I am seeking a new romantic connection.

Ideally, I would love to find someone that I can get along with, flirt with, talk to about our day-to-day lives and interests, bond over common ones, and all that fun stuff. I am open to ages (please be within a few years of my age), backgrounds, and locations. I'm ideally looking for someone unattached, relatively laid back, and I place the highest value on emotional intelligence, intellectual chemistry, and maturity with people. Not looking to keep things online, so I will want to meet up in person if we connect!

I love having stimulating conversations with people who can challenge me—I can talk to you for hours about absolutely anything. I'm always open to debate topics such as: "Which place has the best pizza slices in the Bay", "Why the west coast is forever the best coast", and "Whether or not people who list their Hogwarts houses on dating profiles are automatically Gryffindors" (the answer is yes).

Personally, I consider myself to be well-educated, well-traveled, and well-read with a broad range of interests. I'm open, honest, and communicative. I enjoy listening to and playing music, going to shows, writing, road trips, camping, learning languages, cooking, games (of all sorts), photography, art, films, culture, and trees of the kush genus. Forever a fan of accents, dad jokes, and genuinely funny dudes.

Politically, I'm progressive and very left. I believe facts are paramount, and history shouldn't be sanitized for our sensibilities.

Physically, I'm a cute mixed Black woman (with a caramel complexion), 5'5, plus-sized, with short hair, a couple tasteful tattoos, and piercings. I'm happy to swap photos—your photo gets mine!

Professionally, I work in a fancy office that often sees some downtime.

Feel free to check out my post history (I didn't use a throwaway), and if you think we would vibe well and should smoke a joint together (IRL or virtually)—please reach out! If I don't respond right away, I'm likely weighing the pros and cons of what to say and what not to say; but it's also likely that I'm dancing around in my underwear singing along to Prince at the top of my lungs.
