33 [M4F] #California/Sacramento - Looking for a long-term relationship
Looking for a genuine connection that hopefully leads to a long-term relationship! I am in Northern California, 6 feet tall, black hair and brown eyes and on the heavier side. Some of my interests include reading nonfiction books, exercising (I have lost quite a bit of weight, but its still a work in progress), cooking healthy new recipes, watching shows or movies (Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Bob's Burgers, Sopranos, Studio Ghibli movies) and men's fashion. I am also into watch modding and have been a longtime collector of watches. It has been a fun experience that has allowed me to work with my hands and create something personalized. Most recently, I have been very big into decorating my apartment and making it an inviting and unique place to live.
I enjoy video games like Stardew Valley and other RPGs (Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Legend of Zelda) every now and then, although I don’t have as much time to play these days. I do love playing co-op games too and think it’s a fun way to get to know someone. I also tend to get lost down a rabbit hole on Wikipedia and multiple hour long video essays on YouTube because I enjoy learning about new things. I have also gotten back into watching the NBA and NFL a bit.
For me, communication is the most important thing I look for in a partner. I enjoy voice chatting, texting, and voice notes and like to talk very often. Sending a short text once every day or two really isn't the type of communication that works for me. I love hearing about people's day, from the mundane things in life to what they are passionate about. I actually enjoy small talk (maybe I don't get it, but is there some other way people get to know each other??).
I don't have many deal breakers, but I don't think I can be with anyone who does any drugs or is a heavy drinker. I am very left-leaning politically, just to put that out there.
Finally, I am only looking for people in Northern California (Bay area or Sacramento). I want to be able to go to the farmers' market or thrifting on a whim. Those things can’t really be accomplished long-distance. Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon.
