30 [M4F] #Germany (NRW) - stable IT guy with a dog, gym habit, and a low-drama mindset

Hello! I’ll spare you the wall of text, so here's a tldr instead! 😌

Also: yes, you can message me in German. Happy to exchange pictures early - attraction matters after all, and I prefer being open about it.

About me

• Height: 182cm
• Weight: ~79kg
• Build: currently hovering around a slight dad bod but working towards a more musculare version of that
• Eyes: blue
• Hair: dark blonde, technically, but rather bald (shaved head) with a three-day beard
• Skin: the type of skin the sun burns after 13 seconds of being exposed - no piercings, no tattoos
• Job: I'm a "Senior Architect in IT" - a mix of coding, designing software and managing projects

Hobbies

• regular gym goer, currently three to four times a week, but I'm not religious about my schedule
• motorcycle in spring/summer
• my dog if that counts as a hobby
• video games - used to play a lot more and competitive, nowadays it's mostly cozy games like stardew valley
• hiking, I'd rather have someone to hike with, but my dog is pretty good company on his own, so I've got those solo trips going for me
• board games, have two regular groups I'm playing with every couple weeks
• always happy to get into new things and trade solo activities for good company

Specifics / fun facts

• I have a very cute dog and two cats that mostly sleep or live outside
• my friends would say I'm very funny and always brighten peoples' days
• I've had long-term relationships before, I've been single for a good while
• I employ a "you and me against the problem" mindset rather than "me against you because drama is fun"
• I spent my single time getting to know myself and building a happy life, which I'm now looking to share!
• I adapt easily - dance floor (sometimes) or movie night, I'm happy either way
• I enjoy cooking
• I've had a steady job for the past decade, live comfortably and value stability
• I do like travelling a lot, but I'm more quality-over-quantity than constant trips. Japan is currently very high on my list!

I'm looking for

• open communication matters a lot to me, honesty beats guessing games so - let's talk!
• I'm mainly looking for a relationship, but every good relationships should also work as a pretty good friendship
• someone "real" - no masks, no games, just be yourself and say what's on your mind
• someone where the connection just feels easy, we'll find out if that's the case rather quickly!

If you made it this far and thought "this sounds nice" - here's what to do:

Either:

1. message me any keyword and I will open the conversation accordingly: ice breaker, cheesy pickup line, random fun fact
2. ask any question(s) you'd like to know that wasn't answered here, no matter how "real" or "deep" - everything from "how's the weather?" over "do you want kids?" to politics goes!
3. give me a quick TLDR of who you are and what you are looking for in a partner
