I'm intelligent, multi-talented, honest, caring, understanding, attentive, giving, active, mature, creative, reliable, communicative, and have so many other great traits that I believe make me a high value individual. I've spent so much of my life wanting to be different from everything I see and I think you'll be really glad you met me.
I am often misunderstood or misjudged simply bc I refuse to ever allow "growing up" to mean conforming to societal standards. I am truly independent in thought and intricate in moral. This is a standard that I've been following my whole life. Getting to know me requires an open mindset and a desire for something different.
I'm an in person kind of guy. I treat my phone like people treated flip phones in 2005. It's sometimes on me when I go out and if I'm not busy I'll answer quickly... Otherwise I'm off my phone and enjoying my life and will read/listen to my messages when I have a moment.
I have new projects every week, and I'm constantly learning new skills or hobbies. I'm also very adventurous, always trying to find a reason to go out. Even if it's just for food.
What I'm looking for:
Dating or FWB
Someone who is like me in that they're independent in thought and unapologetically themselves.
Someone who has diverse taste. Whether that be in media or hobbies.
Someone who's busy like me and has their own goals and aspirations and likes their own space and time.
Someone who doesn't care about all the crud you see in media and in online spaces.
Someone who is mature and can have a good time with my friends without it being a problem.
Someone who is physically fit and wants to join me in at least some of my activities.
Someone who impresses me intellectually
Someone who is mentally strong like me and a fighter.
Someone who can communicate and prefers blunt honesty.
Overall, someone I'd be proud to call my partner.
I'm looking for almost any kind of relationship, but when it comes to dating I genuinely need someone who matches my lifestyle and wants similar things out of life. I view a girlfriend as a stage in a relationship, rather than a "thing" you accomplish or have. To me dating is evaluating whether or not that person is right for me and whether or not I want to keep going on dates. The goal should eventually be marriage (or something akin). I'm not looking to waste time w someone who doesn't take it seriously. So I'm down for a casual relationship or fwb, but when it comes to a serious relationship I definitely need someone who's serious about finding a life-long partner.
What I'm not looking for:
I'm not looking to chat it up online. I am here for real in-person relationships - I'd love to set up a date and go from there.
I'm not looking for anything long distance unless there is a clear, expressed intent to meet up frequently or relocate one day.
I'm not looking to start a family. I'm fairly positive I don't want kids. I'm also very unwilling to have my own due to what's in my DNA (long story)
I'm not looking to impress you with an expensive dinner or a fake pick-up line. I'd rather us just be ourselves.
Hard No's:
Alcoholism or heavy smoking (socially is okay)
One night stands with no connection or trust
Most "woke" brainwashed beliefs
Toxicity or immaturity
Unbalanced judgement (Negative or unnecessary - I think judgement is important but when and how is equally important)
Regularly succumbing to societal standards
