I genuinely don't know how to start these things. I've posted before on reddit and its generally been looking for a distraction while I was injured or recovering from injury. For context I had a really bad injury in 2022-2023 to the point I was not working for a few months and couldn't stand or walk without being in severe pain. I am recovered now after doing a surgery last year, apart from doing physio to strengthen the muscles that were hurt from the injury and leading towards getting into shape again. Its a process but after being bed ridden and in pain for so long I kind of ended up disconnected from the outside world for a bit. I didn't meet anyone new and I spent every day trying to manage the pain rather than date, make new friends or meet people.

So that's essentially where I am at now. By no means do I need anything but I feel I've been closed off from the world for a little bit I kind of want to meet local people and if there's a connection for friendship, FWBs or dating I am definitely open to it. I'll say it right off the bat that I am definitely mostly a homebody(pandemic followed by injury didn't help) so if you're super outgoing we probably aren't a match. I am definitely someone who prefers good food, a good drink and good conversation more than needing to be at any particular environment.

As for what I am looking for the more down to earth you are the better. Depending on where the journey takes us chemistry and attraction may play a factor as well but I value honesty, intelligence, loyalty and kindness the most. A sense of humor and wit is a HUGE bonus :)

My hobbies/interests:

• Cooking/Baking: I am an avid steak lover. I literally have a costco membership just so I can buy certain steaks in bulk and regularly have wagyu in my freezer which I pull out on occasion. Not only do I adore cooking it but I enjoy going to steakhouses and want to try some of the ones I haven't yet. There are things I haven't cooked yet that I'd like to so if you have any interest or talent in the kitchen I'd definitely love to cook some things together like homemade pasta, chinese food, homemade dumplings, spring rolls, bread, etc...I also enjoy cooking for other people so that's always a possibility :)

• Watching UFC: I tend to watch 99% of PPVs and actually want to visit a live show again in the future. I just haven't found many people who are as passionate as me.

• Investing: I am not a major finance person by any means but I like the idea of working towards having passive income so I am always curious about something like that.

• Career advancement: This is the second time I've went back to school to complete a small certificate just because I feel there's potential for me to leverage that for a better job and advance into more fulfilling work. If you also have ambition its definitely something we can talk about!

• Looking at houses I can't afford and daydreaming I'm living in them: self-explanatory. Join the club.

• etc...

Feel free to say hi if any of this jives with you.
