Hello! Thank you for clicking on my post.

(I would appreciate it if you read the entirety of this post before deciding to message me.)

I am a 25-year old black woman residing in the southeastern region of the United States (and longing to leave) on the journey of finding my way in life. I am of 5'6" (167cm) stature. I am a plus-sized woman – which I am wanting and willing to adjust – we would not fit romantically if you are someone who is unattracted to plus-sized women. My skin tone is medium brown, my eyes and hair are dark brown. I always wear glasses. I have one small tattoo and two piercings. (More specifically, this is me.)

I may seem reserved and a little rough around the edges until I become comfortable with someone – then, I tend to be lighthearted and warm. I am candid and straightforward – along with preferring to be compassionate with my words and opinions. I am expressive. I am curious and silly – but I do take myself seriously pertaining to some aspects. I prefer witty and dark humor – but I am not a fan of offensive humor. I am passionate about photography (particularly nature photography) and traveling. I am mostly a homebody but I would love to have someone to go on adventures and experience life with. Horror, psychological thriller, high fantasy and true crime documentaries are where it's at. You'll find me listening to electronic, lo-fi and rock music. I play an assortment of video games ranging from life and immersive simulations, a particular MOBA which shall not be named (if you know, you know) and MMOs as well.

I am not religious or spiritual in the slightest bit. I do not drink, smoke or do drugs. I do not want to ever birth or raise children. When it pertains to politics, I am left-leaning.

I am searching for someone who I can emotionally connect with and develop a meaningful, monogamous romantic relationship that ultimately results in marriage. Someone who communicates truthfully, effectively and respectfully and is willing to be patient while taking the time and effort to getting to know and understand me (and I, them) – as well as someone who prefers to talk frequently. Someone who is comfortable with being vulnerable and demonstrating affection. Someone who is trustworthy and reliable.

Fairly important deal-breakers – no exceptions and no disrespect toward who this may pertain to:

• Having any pre-existing offspring and/or ever wanting to produce or raise children.
• Non-monogamy of any kind.
• Any transmittable infection/disease (i.e. STI/STD.)
• Substance abuse and porn usage.
• Emotional unavailability (i.e. someone who hasn't been single for a considerable amount of time, someone who is still recovering from a past relationship and/or carrying trauma and trust issues from a past relationship, someone who keeps in contact with exes, someone who has any ongoing romantic attachments or physical entanglements.)
• Having been married in the past at all. (Conversely, it is a deal-breaker if you're against legal marriage and/or don't want marriage for the future.)
• Non-cisgender and non-heterosexual. (I am cisgender and heterosexual – I prefer the same in the context of a romantic relationship.)
• Younger than 24 or older than 30.

Additionally – if you decide to message me, please be based in either the United States, Canada or Europe and have the capability to travel to visit regularly (and to eventually close the distance between us.)

Closing – If I caught your interest and we sound as though we could get along and become something, message me – tell me about yourself in detail, include a photo of yourself and any indication that you've read the entirety of this post. Even if the chances of finding a life partner through Reddit are questionable and perhaps even 0.1%, that's still greater than zero!
