Hello there person reading this,

I hope that you are doing well.

I'm not really one for grandiose, thought provoking introductions, so I'll just get to the brass tacks of the matter.

My name is Conor, I'm 29 and (suprise suprise) a virgin.

This is me by the way, to save you the task of trying to conjure up an image of me in your head: https://imgur.com/a/jyPIdo0

To be astonishingly frank, I'm posting here as a means to cut straight to the point of who I am, what I like, what I'm looking for and present it in an upfront way, with no bs concerning my lack of experience in relationships and sex.

As such, I'll probably go on a bit, so you may want to stick the kettle on before going any further into this.

In the past 6 months or so, I have had something of an awaking, perhaps due to the big 3-0 staring me dead in the face and I have endeavoured to relentlessly commit to a journey of self improvement and outward discovery, in the hope that I may find someone that I can have an exceptionally fun, fulfilling and adventurous future with.

Suffice it to say, I haven't found the right person yet, but some things in life are well worth fighting for eh? :)

As to who I am?

I'm British born and bread, originally from East London, but having spent a great deal of my life in Somerset. As well as that, I have lived/worked in 4 countries outside of The UK during a significant chunk of my 20s.

To that end, I absolutely adore travelling and am more than comfortable/accustomed to going on wild excursions overseas with nothing more than a few hastily gathered together garments, a passport and an admittedly poor compression of the language spoken in my chosen destination.

In addition to that, I also throughly enjoy cooking, hiking, cold water swimming, reading, museums and practically anything to do with Ancient History (If I had to refer to myself as being a nerd in any capacity, it would certainly be in this vein).

I'm reasonably tall, at 6ft 1', am white with tanned skin, short black hair, brown eyes, some freckles and a reasonably athletic build.

Generally speaking I'm an easygoing chap, but one who revels in the company of others.

For what it's worth, I'd go so far to say I'm a generally confident guy, who enjoys meeting new people and loves nothing more than engaging with others about all manner of things.

Despite being a bit of a rambler (as clearly evidenced here), I am a good listener and genuinely appreciate people opening up with their stories, opinions and outlooks.

Oh and do not think for one second that poorly executed dad jokes and questionable puns are beneath me either. They are the very fibre of my being, so please do consider this admission fair warning. :D

I myself work in Anti-Money Laundering, which while it can be demanding, is terrific fun and I am lucky in the sense that I do genuinely love my job.

I also love animals, so if you have any pets, consider that a definite plus from me! 🐶🐱🐴🦀🐑🐬🚍

Putting all that aside though, if I'm being completely honest as to the nature of how I wound up here on this subreddit?

I have struggled a fair bit since a teenager to find someone and have had some pretty severe body confidence issues.

I've never had a girlfriend, only kissed a few woman and never had sexual relations of any kind. Admittedly, I have had opportunities in the past to have sex, but not taken them up as it's not just sex I'm looking for. What I really want above all else is companionship and just to find someone who can look past the lack of experience and like me for who I am, not what I have, or haven't done.

Unfortunately for me, from the age of 9, I had a purley cosmetic, genetic condition of a dermatological nature that effected the skin under my eyes to a mild extent and the skin on my . . well . . . manhood to a more severe extent.

Luckily for me, I have recently received treatment, which is ongoing and am now effectively free of it, but as you can imagine, when it was a lot worse, it caused some pretty serious issues with finding a prospective partner who could look past it.

So that's the predicament in of itself.

It was a crap thing to deal with, but I'm now focusing on the hear and now, as well as my future and am above all else looking forward to moving onto the next chapter of my life.

As to what I'm looking for?

Really, I'm just like any other person who keenly desires a through and through productive, loving and longlasting relationship.

I desire to be with someone who can look past my lack of experience (It should be noted that I'm am a fast learner with most things by the way ;) ), be willing to work with me to cultivate something exceptional and have an open mind when it comes to experiencing new things.

I couldn't care less if you have been in several relationships before, or if you happen to be in the same boat as me. I'm looking at you as an individual first and foremost. After all, we all have our own luggage in one way or another don't we? :)

To be more rigid and conventional with specifics though, I would ask that you are/are not the following:

• Aged 22 - 33
• Not already in a relationship
• Not just looking for a fling, or FWB
• Are genuinely on the lookout for, open to being in a committed, monogamous relationship

While being in The UK/Europe is preferable, I am nonetheless open to chatting with just about anyone about all this and for the right person would be willing to go in for a LDR in the right circumstances.

Do feel free to DM me if somehow this infernal babbling of mine hasn't given you headache and for some strange reason has convinced you that getting in contact with me would be a worthwhile endevour for you.

Anyway, that's me done. I'm sure that by this point my wall of text is giving Crime & Punishment a run for it's money, so I'll rather abruptly wrap things-up here.

My sincere thanks to you for reading this far if you have. Regardless of whatever happens, best of luck to you out there and hopefully the right person comes along for you soon!

Ciao for now,

Conor
