35 [M4F] #Portland, Oregon - Easygoing big guy who’s great at this stuff until the point where he’s not so great at it.

My story is an old one, and also a dumb one. A handful of relationships, varying levels of connection, endings that usually made me want to crawl in a hole and plan my future as a monk.

Wanna be different this time, wanna try a little harder, be a little more open, starting with posting from my main ass nerdy Reddit account haha.

35, around 5’11”, bearded with brown hair and eyes. I’ll say up front I’m a big guy, like 275 lbs. Big ol’ belly belly but lift a ton, so kinda fat strong with broad shoulders, a chubby face with them eyes that squint when I smile too hard. I’m a grizzly bear and a teddy bear, I feel like my spirit animal is the “hibernation bear” competition photos you see every year. Mixed race but look white I’m told. I live in one of the Portland suburbs, the one in another state haha. Happy to swap pics if we click.

Hobby wise I’m pretty generic PNW nerd. Huge movie fan. See pretty much every major release and a ton of art fart stuff on a random night when I’m feeling anti social but don’t wanna sit around alone in my house. Play video games in spurts, usually something with a good story or something you can play on your phone while ya half watch TV. My old man ass can’t keep up with multiplayer, as much as my friends may try to get me into em haha.

Love everything horror, movies books games, appreciate the good and bad alike (just saw a new horror flick Undertone and beat the new Resident Evil, it’s so fucking good seriously seriously). Horror is just my genre, it’s my form of relaxation for whatever reason, like roller coasters, it’s a subject where you’ll watch my eyes light up if ya enjoy talking about it. You don’t have to enjoy em, but if you’ll sit through them or give me a smooch to distract us both during one, you’ll have me as putty in your hands.

Activity wise I lift weights (then eat worse to offset it and then some) and get my hikes in as the PNW gods dictate. Love to get away for a real backpack or camping trip if I can swing it. Have a couple bucket list backpacks I wanna hit. Basically I’ll sweat like a mother but I’ll have a blast while I do it. I played football in high school and was a lineman, if that gives you an idea of my build and activity style.

Beyond that I basically rotate between being a hermit and wanting to go experience the world lol. Love sitting near the back of a concert or live event, or wandering a state fair or ren faire.

Relationships wise I’m maybe not so good at this tbh. I’m great at the first half, the flirting and getting to know you half. It’s easy because I genuinely enjoy it. I like learning people’s stories, seeing the parts of them you have to dig a little deeper to really understand. Learning the things that make them who they are, feeling when they think “hey this guy is alright, I’ll let him in a little.” I’m big and I’m loud, it’s who I am, when I laugh people tend to look from the volume alone. I find a lot of people enjoy getting to know the jovial big guy, but they also tend to cross the street if we walking past each other late a night.

It’s after that when I start to struggle. I had a super toxic relationship and it’s left me with nerves I gotta own up to. I have to hook up a few times before I’m comfortable that the person I’m with isn’t going to have a switch flip and tell me I’m no longer good enough. It’s impossible to hide that I carry some baggage, but I’m pretty funny too so I balance it out I swear haha. My confidence is in supporting you in the good days and bad, but I’ll never pretend I don’t need to be picked up sometimes too.

Potential partner wise, I prefer slim, hour glass, or athletic people. Beyond that zero preference in style. Preppy, goth, hipster, jock, whichever and whatever. It’s the person I vibe with, and that comes down more to if it just feels easy to talk to them, rather than their age or fashion. If you got a strong style though, I will absolutely pick your brain about your makeup and outfit choices, try to learn your style and figure out the looks that take my breath away.

I’m not looking to get married in a week, just looking for people outside of my normal friend groups who can know this side of me from the get go. At the very worst I’d love to end up with a new friend who knows I’m freaky and will play games or watch shit with me, or hit up a hike.

That’s a serious wall of text so I’ll just leave it there. But I hope I hear from some of ya’ll, I wanna pick your brain about life and let you realize in real time exactly how corny I am.
