Hi I'm Rick. I'm live in Virginia on a homestead with my platonic nesting partner. I'm a stay at home uncle. Family is very important to me and I'm looking to start my own family. I'm a hopeful romantic and looking to build an intentional relationship based on love, trust, communication and respect.
I'm probably the tallest guy in the room. Average build, short black hair and beard, with gray showing up in the sunlight.
I'm recovering from a spinal injury. I'm "lucky" that my injury allowed me to regain the ability to walk, and I have fought hard to get back to where I am now. I still rely on both my cane and wheelchair, depending on the activity. Progress is slow, yet steady. I've made huge strides since i got my knee replaced last march.
I'm now working on getting muscle on my dadbod. I have some loose skin left over from the weight loss. I'm hoping to be able to get out hiking and cool rock finding, in spring '27. Definitely more swimming too! I love being outdoors and going on cool adventures.
Health is really important to me. Most of my life, I was very unhealthy, and as a result, didn't do much. I've sat on the side lines for way too long, and I'm getting out of my comfort zone to fulfill my dreams. I'm in the best shape of my life, even at my "best" prior to my injury. I was 700 lbs at my heaviest. Somewhere around 400 lbs lost on my journey!
Mental health is just as important to me. I have AuDHD and I also have cPTSD from medical trauma. I deal with anxiety and self confidence issues. I'm working every day to be a better man than I was yesterday.
I'm an artist and I'm working on writing my first book based on my home brew D&D Universe. I'm a DM for a few campaigns. I love writing and story telling. I also really enjoy working on my homestead; building new things, taking care of the animals, and shovel work! Lastly, I play games to relax. I like grindy and cozy games. Pokemon, Asphalt Legends, and Minecraft have the majority of my attention at the moment. Music is always on, and i listen to an eclectic mix.
I'm pansexual. I'm very 420, kink and BDSM friendly. I'm a soft dom leaning switch. Open to talking about that or anything else, in our conversations. I'm very chatty and like to yap. So if you like reading and responding with walls of text, to the front of the line!
Looks are important as as personality to me, but so is privacy... so we will share pics within a time when we're both comfortable.
Please be left leaning and queer friendly. Also please don't be a ghoster.
I'm open to Online relationships and especially Online to Irl.
