I'm trying for short and to the point with this post, but I tend to have long thought out responses in conversation and I'd love to listen to someone just as much. I just figure maybe I'd try a less dense opening statement.

So, I'm here, but I am not some duder that needs to feel validation through an age gap or needs to feel in control. No disrespect to the folks that are looking for that kind of vibe, but I want a real connection that doesn't require gender roles or some power dynamic.

I very much value other people's opinions and perspectives, especially my partner's, and I think that everyone regardless of age can be an authority on something, and we all also could stand to be a little more humble and be open to being wrong about something and evolving. I kind of think sharing that view of the world is the foundation I need to share with someone before anything else.

No kids, never married, doesn't need either but can appreciate someone else's kids. I have a bit of an unusual traumatic background that I'm completely open and therapeutic about, so I'm very warm and comfortable with other people's experiences if you have anything. It's also probably worth mentioning that I'm a very high masking recently diagnosed autistic person (one of those "genius" kids that never stopped absorbing information) and while you don't have to be anywhere on the spectrum, I am kind of prone to discuss it while I process what it all means because I find all this stuff fascinating.

I'm kind of a jack of all trades, big food and drink person, a really long background in the arts, and I'm a big fan of just getting out to new places and seeing how people live. I'm not a big sports guy, but I make up for it in loving hockey. I can get into whatever others are into though. Beyond that my hobbies are kind of random, a lot of what I do for work are hobbies I made into jobs.

As for what I'm looking for, I don't really know that I have a type. I used to think I was demisexual but now I'm hearing this tends to be common with divergent people, but I just don't really experience physical attraction until I feel like I know a person. Once I do feel attracted to who you are, then I'm into everything about you including your appearance, so I hope thats ok. I'm not going to ask for photos or anything out the gate as a part of that but what I am going to ask for is for you to include the word "aardvark" in your first message just so that I know you did actually read this because it seems pretty effective in weeding out bots and spam.

K thanks, sorry that still wound up being kind of long-ish.

So, I don't really need any power dynamics kind of stuff, gender roles, or for anyone to call me anything other than garden variety pet names if and when we reach that kind of connection. I just really want to find someone that I can have a pretty good connection with. That's really it. While I don't necessarily need that someone to be younger, I do kind of think that someone who is openminded to towards an age gap probably at least has the same mutual appreciation for trying to see and take in other people's perspectives as I do.

That being said, I am a high masking late diagnosis autistic person, and with that, I definitely fit the stereotype and for years was simply considered a very intelligent "gifted" person who was just quirky and had a lot of hyperfocuses. I like to think I don't come off as a pompous jerk though, and I certainly don't think that makes me anything other than someone who retains a lot of information. If anything, I very much just try to find places where what I know can be helpful for others and I'm always here to learn new information and kind of edit what I know. (Also part of why I'm so open to hearing other people's perspectives and asking for opinions)

So, I'm really rather more interested in getting to know who you are than anything superficial or sexual. If I decide I like who I think you are, I tend to be rather hooked to everything else about you, so I'm not very concerned with looks and such. I'm a pretty tall shaved bald, bearded white dude with a bit of your classic dad bod. I lose a slight amount weight, generally people start commenting and complimenting on it, so I take that to mean I'm fairly average build for a tall Midwestern guy.

I'm definitely a fan of equality. We're all humans, we could stand to be more humane as a default. (Feels weird to have to say this in the modern day, but here we are.)

Other interests include a ton of different skills and artisty things. I am a jack of all trades for sure and especially if it comes to the arts, food and drink, and I have a lot of science and history bouncing around in my brain. If we lose the internet and technology someday, I could probably do pretty ok.

I'd very much like for someone to be near Ohio if not in it, but if you include the word "Mango" in your opening message, that will at least tell me you read the whole thing and probably aren't some kind of bot. Sound good?

With all of that, I'm not all dry conversation. I will definitely try to be funny and charming the whole way through if any of the above resonates with you.

If not, I unfortunately probably won't unless I'm REALLY bored (so you should probably do it anyways.) Ok, sound good?

Hi!

So as the title says, I don't really need my ego stroked or for anyone to call me anything other than garden variety pet names if and when we reach that kind of connection. I just really want to find someone that I can have a pretty good connection with and, while I don't necessarily need that someone to be younger, I do kind of think that someone who is openminded to towards an age gap probably at least has the same mutual appreciation for trying to see and take in other people's perspectives as I do.

That being said, as also stated in the title, I am a high masking late diagnosis autistic person, and with that, I definitely fit the stereotype and for years was simply considered a very intelligent "gifted" person who was just quirky and had a lot of hyperfocuses. I like to think I don't come off as a pompous dick though, and I certainly don't think that makes me anything other than someone who retains a lot of information. If anything, I very much just try to find places where what I know can be helpful for others and I'm always here to learn new information and kind of edit what I know. (Also part of why I'm so open to hearing other people's perspectives and asking for opinions)

So, I'm really rather more interested in getting to know who you are than anything superficial or sexual. If I decide I like who I think you are, I tend to be rather hooked to everything else about you, so I'm not very concerned with looks and such. That being said, if you need to know, I'm a pretty tall white dude rocking a bit of your classic dad bod. I lose a slight amount weight, generally people start commenting and complimenting on it, so I take that to mean I'm fairly average build for a tall Midwestern guy.

I'm definitely a fan of equality.I don't think there's much anyone can or can't do regardless of gender, orientation, race, or really anything. We're all humans, we could stand to be more humane as a default. (Feels weird to have to say this in the modern day, but here we are.)

Other interests include a ton of different skills and artisty things. I am a jack of all trades for show and especially if it comes to the arts, food and drink, and I have a lot of science and history bouncing around in my brain. If we lose the internet and technology someday, I could probably run a post apocalyptic village pretty well.

Hi.

I'd like to genuinely get to know someone and have plenty of good connections with them before I can even really conceptualize being attracted. I gotta actually like who I think you are. That being said, I don't think its very hard for someone to get there.

Late diagnosed autistic person here but very highly masking. I am kind of a walking encyclopedia that genuinely knows a fair bit about everything, but I'm always listening and ready to edit what I know if I find out its outdated or incorrect and I live for learning new shit. If you have something to rant about, PLEASE fire away.

I also have the gift of kind of being able to socialize with just about anyone, it's just a question of energy mainly. That being said, I'm a leftist type that believes in equality, and that all people should go out of their way to try to understand other people and make it a point to try to see things from other people's perspectives. If you message me, include the word "Mango" in your opening message so that I know you actually bothered to read this thing.

I'm also a musician, artisty type. Absolute food and drink person, tell me what you're craving and I probably can find it or make it. Giant nerd and if I'm not into it, I can probably appreciate it. No kids, never married, fine with both, but I'm OK if you have kids your shelf. Absolutely here to be your armchair therapist if you ever need as I'm impossible to scare off with trauma. (Ask for my trauma too if you like)
