And a bit about me, that'd probably be the best course of action.

I want to change things up a bit. I'm really interested in yourself, whoever you may be. You probably ask yourself: "What's he actually looking for?" and the answer is simply complex. I'm looking for experiences, stories, your interests and job, your daily life. Ultimately, I'm looking for you.

Now, I think it'd be best to know a bit about me to estimate your interest. My name's Marc, 34 and from Germany (NRW/Bonn). My hair is black and typically short, my skincolor is white/pale, I'm reliant on glasses to see and I prefer to dress in business casual. My height is 198cm or (6'6" rounded) and my weight is currently 185kg (408lb). Yes, I'm literally a handful, but to get some context: Last year at the same time (give or take), I was 210kg (467lb). I'm on my way to take health serious as I want to live a long life with preferebly a higher living standard. Everything is medically supported and I work closely with my doctor to get good stats IRL as my gamer mind once came up with.

My hobbies are basic: I like videogames (mostly cooperative, as a channel to talk while doing something together. Steam profile in bio for an overview of games), I like self-improvement books (currently reading "How to win friends" by Dale Carnegie), I cook for myself and like experimenting with new flavours and combinations and I like animals. Most of all, I'd like to experience more, learn new skills and gain new hobbies and especially for this last thing, I'd like to meet you.

I've recently finished my education and am now in a stable job which provides me with enough means to fund myself, my current lifestyle and a continually growing savings account. As for the job itself, I'm a learned IT-Administrator and currently not concerned about ever struggling with having a job. While I've got a drivers license, I am currently not mobile (no car, bike or anything similar) and dependant on public transport. Not because I couldn't affort it, but because currently I don't need and want it. Which makes potential IRL meetings complicated, but not impossible.

Personality-wise, I'm an INTP-T-Type (6w5) if you're interested in this. For all non-code-readers: I'm thirsty for knowledge and rather lean towards rationality instead of emotionality. I'm not really shy and only a bit introvert, I just need trust to come out of my shell. The feeling of talking to like-minded people will help me with that greatly. Also for those interested: I've been in two relationships so far in my life, the first (with a woman) ended rather ugly, the second (with a transfemale) lasted about 5 years and our lives just went different ways. There was no hate and no bad blood.

Enough about me, you can (and I encourage you to do so!) ask any question about me you have left via private chat. Back to you instead! And especially the "potential partner"-part, which I'd guess someone might be interested about. I'd prefer for you to be female, around my age ( /- 5 years is okay) and located in Germany or at least around Germany. It'd be helpful if some of our passions align (and I'll share some more in a moment) and we can find common ground, as I am a rather peace-loving person. I have no preference in skin color, nationality, height or weight but I'd wish you're not hardcore religious as I am also not.

And now, for anyone to break the ice, if you're interested in chatting, tell me:

• The weirdest animal you ever befriended and how that shaped you as a person(or a weird story about a friendship with less weird animals)
• The best game you never finished (if interested in gaming) and why
• Your most unusual hobby (even if you think it's not unusual at all. Please tell me about it!)
• The most funny interaction with a stranger
• The country / culture you'd like to visit and experience the most and why
• Your favorite food / meal (bonus if you cook: Your favorite sauce that goes with everything)
• Your weirdest / funniest habit that you think is exclusive to you

You can, of course, pick and choose and I can answer any of those points myself with funny stories about myself if you yourself are interested in them.

I hope to meet some nice and interesting people who, in turn, find me nice and interesting and maybe enough to slowly climb deeper on the "relationship-layers".

Cheers!

P.S. If you read all that, you're my hero of the day.
