Hey there. 6’1” big hairy “bear”-bodied man here. I’m a little thick and an awkward nerd with a dumb babyface that makes people think I’m 10 years younger than I am, but I promise I make a decent teddy bear and I have a lot of passion inside me.

I’m an introvert trying to escape (a bit) from my own head - I love to talk about minds, feelings, theories and works of art with an introspective companion. I work in a school district and do a bit of critical writing - which I’d like to evolve into getting a social work degree and doing creative writing to express myself more intimately. My interests include nerdy stuff like video games and anime, but also “adult” interests like film and philosophy. About these topics, I’m trying to get more serious: I’m trying to watch a new film every day, read literature and philosophy more regularly, and start doing imagination and writing exercises to find my creative voice!

I’m very lonely, though, and I’d really like to make a serious connection in my life that could blossom into something intimate and beautiful. I’d love to meet a similarly introverted fellow twentysomething misfit who’s also nerdy and interested in the arts, and will hopefully watch, read and discuss things with me! Women who are “too sensitive” and feel things super intensely are... honestly the best. I just relate so much. I wanna share those deep, roiling feelings that nobody else understands. Send me your favorite playlists, show me your art and poetry; let’s do it all together. I love mutually gentle and nurturing dynamics and helping shoulder one another’s burdens. Hopefully at some point we can meet up and spend wonderful days together - taking walks, visiting museums and galleries, all of that. (I live about an hour from New York City - a perfect place for dates, when coronavirus hasn’t shut down everything lmao)

What else? I like to talk over other messaging apps more than Reddit. I’m awkward over voice chat but open up eventually!

TL;DR - let’s watch weird movies and share dumb Youtube videos and listen to albums and read each other stories and watch anime and feel like teenagers again.

Hope to hear from ya!
