The amount of space in a personal is pretty limited, so I thought putting more information for those that meander over to my page would make sense. I'll try and answer what I think would be the most commonly asked questions, but I'll probably miss a bunch. If you want to know more, just add a comment with your question and I'll edit this post to respond to it. I won't message you, 'cause that would just feel cringe and I'm surprisingly wholesome, truth be told.
Red Flag Section: This is where I'll talk about my red flags, and there's at least a few so buckle up.
1) I'm a Father: I'm a dad to a certain number of kids who's information and such will remain anonymous because this is the internet. I'm not willing to budge on protecting my kids, even if it means missing out on the perfect person since I'd be a crap parent if that's the kind of thing I'd go around doing. I'd need at least a few months before revealing personal information about myself, but I'd still be extremely cautious about my kids. There's weirdos out there, so kids need to be protected always. Final answer.
2) I'm a Husband: I'm pretty protective of my wife as well, guessing that's going to be a pattern in my red flags section. She's also asked me, repeatedly, to just not talk about her. It doesn't mean that she doesn't want to be in the loop, she just prefers to say it herself if it comes to that point in communication. She's all right with talking to people, but doesn't want to be bothered by the short-lived, fizzled out sort of communications. She's got pretty good memory for people, so she simply doesn't want a whole bunch of memories attatched to strangers that'll disappear would be a way of putting it. It'd be over on Discord also, since she doesn't use Snapchat, or messsanger or whatever people are using nowadays.
If you're wondering about how she feels with me being poly, I can go into that a bit. I've always been poly, even before it was more mainstream and there was a whole lifestyle around it. I just don't have the jealousy thing and always thought more people in a close relationship would elevate conversation. It's not inherently a physical thing for me, and I've always wanted to seek out mental companionship, regardless of the form. However, I put that on hold due to life or kids. During Covid lockdown, figured it was as good a time as any since everyone was reaching out to each other through online to build a relationship. We found out the hard way that my wife is definitely on the mono side and I'm definitely unable to supress my poly side anymore.
That is to say, that I tried to supress it back up and turned into a cold, emotionless robot. Kind of like being on permanent, high-dose anti-depressants, wouldn't recommend for sure. Once I pulled out of that "mode", it became a long conversation and she decided that I needed to pursue poly because she didn't want me turning "cold" again.
She's not against me being poly, she accepts that's part of who I am, but she'd only be able to provide friendship and limited support. So that's where she's at, I guess. If you want to know more, ask her sort of mentality.
3) I'm a Stay-at-Home Dad: I don't work, or rather, my work is mainly doing chores and keeping kids on the straight-and-narrow path in life. I'm best at stern dad voice and punishments (like losing computer or dessert). I'm obviously very kid-oriented and focus on the long-term developmental side of everything. I can be fun, but it's few and far between. Usually happenstantial, like doing a silly voice during a video game or a witty remark about something topical.
At some point, I'd hope to start writing, but I'm not planning on publishing anything until after college graduation is all situated. Figure stacking up half-finished novels for publication is fine since getting the diploma will be the main goal 'til then.
Green Flags:
1) I'm going to skip this section because it seems kind of pretentious of me to praise myself. But I will say I'm not a bad person nor have traits one would assume a bad person has. I already voted for VP Harris and am staunchly pro-choice (could go on a tirade about the nonsense of banning a medical procedure, but that's for another forum or time).
