36 [M4F] Online/Anywhere- Progressive art, history nerd seeking serious relationship

I’m Ven, 36. I work as a Cybersecurity Engineer across US, European, and Indian time zones, so I am often awake at odd hours. It is a schedule that works for my ADHD; I have found a way to stay content and focused in the quiet.

I know being an Indian man online can come with baggage. If you have had a bad experience, I understand if you would rather skip this post.

I am an atheist, a progressive, and an ally. I am a total homebody; I spend my time on self-dates, taking care of my mom, or hanging out with my two cats and the neighborhood strays I look after.

I also travel extensively inside India, often to historical places.

Regarding attraction, I prefer plus-size women and value body positivity.

I have a few outlets that keep me grounded. Watercolor painting is my peace: https://imgur.com/a/PePqPTr

Cooking is therapy for me, and I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen: https://imgur.com/a/6S3UAL2

I also tend to be a bit of a nerd for history, philosophy, and science. I speak seven languages; if we find a topic of mutual interest, I will likely spend hours researching it so we can have a proper conversation.

My entertainment is sci-fi movies, historical and romantic comedies of the 90s. My music taste is pretty varied but my core genres are thrash metal, rock, nu metal, and EDM music.

Physically, I am 5'10", bald with a beard, and I have been told I look okayish: https://imgur.com/a/3X2qFu1

Regarding what I am seeking, I am looking for a connection that begins with a solid foundation of friendship but has the clear intention of developing into a serious, long-term relationship.

I am not looking for strictly platonic arrangements. I value intellectual curiosity and a non-judgmental attitude. Distance does not bother me; I am simply looking for someone who is ready for a committed path and wants to see where a slow, steady connection can lead.
