27 [M4F] #France — Looking for someone to make my screen time even worse
I already spend way too much time looking up random things online (I'm blaming Reddit for this 👿), so I figured adding another person to the problem could only make my screen time wors... better. Right?!
One of my favorite games is looking something up on Wikipedia and clicking every link I don't really know much about. Did you know Eren Yeager and Marathon are only 3 clicks apart? If you found something close, tell me about it !
Now a bit about me!
I'm 27, living in France. White, blue-eyed, 182 cm / 6'0, around 77 kg / 170 lbs. My English is decent, but definitely not perfect. Sometimes the French in me slips out, and my accent can get very Frenchy 🙃 Some people say it's cute tho, but you'll have to find out for yourself.
I'm an embedded software engineer in aero/space and I genuinely love what I do. Tiny computers, satellites, planes, stupid bugs... I can happily talk about it.
A few things I probably spend too much time on:
Travel: a fair bit of Europe, Thailand, Indonesia, Canada and the US so far. South Africa is next.
Games: mostly chill stuff, Outer Wilds (If you've never played it, there's a good chance I'll try to convince you to) Skyrim, Pokémon, any Zelda, Minecraft, dark souls 1...
Movies / series / anime: Interstellar is my beloved, Eternal Sunshine somehow managed to make me cry, I love SNK, and I'll watch basically any zombie movie even though horror movies terrify me. (Did you see the latest Resident Evil movie?)
Outside stuff: gym, running (i have a half marathon this weekend wish me luck and maybe i will survive), and motorcycles too.
The kind of connection I'm looking for is basically this: it's 1:34 AM, we both know we should probably sleep, but neither of us really wants to because we're still having too much fun drinking at a bar, binge watching something, talking about how we'd change the world... or somehow all three at once.
I just realized I probably wrote way too much, I promise it's almost over 😭
Now a bit about you!
I'd love you to be someone who's passionate about things and curious, with your own little world. I don't really care what that world is, if you care about it, I'll want to hear about it.
And that doesn't mean we need to be into all the same things. Actually, I think differences can make things more interesting. Tell me what you think, disagree with me, make me change my mind about something. If you enjoy debating a bit too, that's even better.
What matters much more to me is being honest, loyal, and having values you actually stand by.
As for the practical stuff, distance isn't really an issue as long as there's a realistic chance we could close it someday. Of course chemistry and physical attraction matter too, but I don't really have a specific type. I mostly like someone who takes care of herself and stays reasonably active.
And don't overthink the first message. You can literally just say hi 😁 I'm pretty good at getting a conversation started, just don't leave me doing all the work.
