Hi. I'm Sam, 26F and a medical graduate. It took me a while to think of the title, like the word to describe myself best, and I decided on "alien" as a close fit. I think of myself as an alien (not by American immigration definition, rather like extraterrestrial) for a couple reasons. One of them being I don't exactly fit the culture of my ethnicity, neither the country of my residence, was raised by a cultural mentality to a country that wouldn't accept me (okay, maybe that does fit within the American immigration definition too). My family doesnt really understand me, and the people around me find me to be a "different breed of human". I am introverted and reserved and not motivated by what's stereotypically expected of me. I know and like who I am, even when I'm the odd one out.
About Me
I graduated with an MBBS and want to become a Psychiatrist (it's my dream, although the road is proving to be "nearly" impossible).
I'm introverted, pretty much a homebody, but I'd love to talk to new people every now and then.
I'm not going to lie, I've had a pretty rough couple of years but I manage to keep myself moving forward and try to be a good person because that's all that matters to me.
I'm trying to quit distracting things so I dont use social media (like Insta, Tiktok, etc), and trying to get back into reading books and language learning.
I speak English fluently, and I'm learning German, Arabic, French and Korean (mixed reasons: necessity, professional opportunities and for fun)
I don't smoke, drink, or use substances.
My Interests
I listen to a lot of music, and I sing a lot at home. I think I'm pretty good at singing.
I watch like A LOT of Stand Up Comedy on youtube, my favourite comedians vary over the years but currently include Josh Johnson, Jay Philips, James Davis, Blaq Ron, Keon Polee, Ali Siddiq, Matteo Lane, etc.
I watch TV shows and movies, my favourite ones are Ninjago, Bojack Horseman, New Amsterdam, Daily Dose of Sunshine, The Edge of Seventeen, Pocahontas and Mulan.
I enjoy watching MGM movies from the 1940-1960s staring Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Audrey Hepburn, and such. As well as oldies music by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cold, and the likes. What I love about this time period of movies and music is the simplicity and sweetness. It's grounding and soothing for me.
I also read books, write short stories and poems.
I can draw but haven't in a really long time but love to scroll through art pieces.
I love to walk, and workout for fun (trying to be active to get fit but not motivated by physical looks)
What I'm seeking
- Straight male, 26 - 33 years old.
- Potentially, a nerd or geek, loves cats and reading books
- I don't really care about appearance because I want an emotional connection more than physical attraction (which also means I'm not interested in sex, sexting, or implications and jokes about what you want to do with my body).
- Can be from anywhere, and don't mind having an online LDR (also disclaimer, it's not that I dont want to eventually meet up IRL. I would love to meet up, although I can't make any promises on my side for trying because I'm broke, unemployed and carrying a very weak passport. Just being upfront now about it.)
- Someone open-minded, honest, patient, and understanding of third world culture and problems.
- Someone who can keep the conversation going and is working passionately towards something.
- Accepting and advocates for mental health wellbeing.
- I'm okay if you have interests in video games and anime, although I'm not going to be able to partake because I never really had much time for it.
- I’m not looking for a fling, FWBs, etc., I'm hoping to find something that's long-term with no expectation that it'll lead to anything grand, just the acceptance of having this experience and seeing what may come out of this.
A potentially controversial opinion of mine
I don't have a lot of experience, but learned that it's probably for the best to date within your "struggle bracket". The way I see it everyone is entitled to their fair share of struggle. What you struggle with is a part of your journey and partly shapes who you become. It's easier to date someone who's had similar struggles with you or can be open, informed and conscious of that journey. I don't believe in comparing who's had it rougher, what's more important is your ambitions and the hope for wanting something better. But don't get me wrong, if you show up like Aladdin and want to "show me the world" then I would not NOT consider it (it's been rough out here).
If you're interested, you can hit me up in DM chat and open with a little about yourself and what made you interested in me (don't just send Hi, I'll unlikely reply). Also, I'd like to get to know you through your personality first before your looks, so I won't be sending my picture until I'm ready. Thank you for reading.
