Interested in speaking to people who are prone to suffering, unafraid of being pretentious, not consistently one way or the other...but who are also normal on the surface

Or not, it's fine either way. I do not like anime at all, and I cannot respect it. I have a long history of playing video games, but I loathe myself the entire time that I'm playing them. So many hours wasted on imaginary progress. I cannot help but frown when someone quite plainly states their thousands of hours spent in some game, and without even seeing what is so wrong with that. You either get it or you don't, I guess.

I like talking to contrarian types, and not in a cutesy way. I mean genuinely contrarian. Maybe even so contrarian that you are no longer a contrarian, and have wrapped back all the way back around to conventional thought. If you aren't that, that's also fine. Should we only speak to the exact kind of person we want to talk to? That is the wrong mentality to have if you ask me. You will never really live if you only talk to people who perfectly match your every thought. That kind of fantasy perfectionism is for escapist gamers, and I've said my piece on that.

Anyway! These paragraphs are really disjointed but I'm just trying to put down my vibe. I can talk about a lot more than the nonsense you see in this short post. I resent having to share this (I don't actually need to) but I am a guy and I'm 26. I'll talk to anyone.
