Hi there. Trying this again, if you don’t mind. I’m tired of dating apps but I’m an introvert by nature and tired of being alone. “Why Reddit” you may ask. Because, based off my interests I’m more likely to meet someone I have stuff in common with on here, I believe. “What are those interests”, you may also ask. Stop asking yourself so many questions and let me talk about them.

I’m a nerd, straight up. Comics and anime and video games and all that. I also love reading, writing, drawing and listening to music. I love being outdoors as much as indoors. Cooking is my real love though, and to a lesser extent baking. I’m a shift manager at Starbucks, having just left my fast food job of 2.5 years because it was too stressful and not good for my mental health.

I’m 6’1 and a big guy, and while I plan to start working on that, I am also more than comfortable in my own skin. My post history should tell you that (NSFW warning). I have long hair, my ears stretched, my nose pierced, some tattoos and a killer mustache. I have a style I call emo dad; black clothes, pop culture tees, band shirts, etc. I struggle with depression and anxiety, both of which have been bad lately so apologies in advance for that.

I’m, ideally, looking for a relationship. I want companionship and romance and all that stuff. Dates and staying up all night talking and holding hands. Is that too much to ask for? I’m a softie, okay. I also do have some other personal ads in more NSFW subs, and those are still open but by no means required.

Looking for someone 18 to mid 30, Iowa or Midwest preferred but I’m not against long distance with meeting in person down the line. I do want more than just online, though. I won’t lie, I do prefer plus size women (especially if they have tattoos). But, attractive is attractive and the connection matters more.

Hope to hear from you soon! Chats or PM both accepted.
