37 [m4f] #Orange County, California. Cute idiot wants to make you feel special and cherished (pics inside!)

Hi. Thanks for your interest. I'm Cody and you can see Pics of me here.

I am interested in finding a long-term companion. I value monogamy/loyalty/commitment. I identify as an empath and think I have a high degree of emotional inteligence for a man. I like to make my partner feel desired, cherished, safe, and supported in who they are, what they do, and what they might want to do in the future. I try to live my life with an emphasis on honesty, compassion, and humor. I'd love to share my time with you and make you feel special and desired. If you like what you see and wanna talk, hit me up! My cat's name is Bella > ^ . ^ <

I'm 5'10 tall and 160lbs, brown hair, green eyes. I reside in the Mission Viejo area. Politically I identify as an independent who leans more left than right, but, if I am allowed to be honest, I think the state of US politics is nihilistic at best, hopeless at worst. Most importantly, I disavow political bigotry that seems to be all too common online. The system is flawed in its design to present 2 exclusive options, and I don't think it's fair to people who still believe the system works, to define/judge them on how they vote. If you actually talk/listen to people you'll find there is a myriad of disparately nuanced and complex reasons why people vote. So, if you think all republicans are evil, or all democrats are woke killjoys than I won't show much interest in you. I think people deserve empathy until proven otherwise. I cringe at even having to write this section but politics seems to be REALLY fkn important in dating now, so there ya go.

I grew up here in socal and think I am a pretty typical californian millenial. I like movies/tv and videogames in my offtime as hobbies. I also do a little bit of content creation, mostly talking about movies. I am tech savy but also grew up with boomer parents who did everything DIY so I am also pretty handy, mechanical, and analog. I'm talkative and energetic, but I also value peace and quiet. I like to exercise and be active and do a lot of running throughout the week. I enjoy cooking, especially for others, and am not a picky eater. I enjoy weed, shrooms, red wine, dark beer, the occasional hookah and they very rare cigar. I'm an older brother and an uncle to 3 nieces/nephews. I like the idea of having children but it's not a dealbreaker.

Life is pretty fucked. I have a college degree, my own car, no debt, no kids, no weird exes, but I also live at home with my mom (dad died) and am a part-time accountant. I've been single for 10 years, and while we are being super honest, haven't had sex in 6. I'm a bit of a mess, sorry to make you read this far before the whole picture comes into frame, but I think I make a good fixer upper if you're willing to invest the time.

If you're interested in talking I'd appreciate if you told me a little about you and tried to make an effort to share a picture. Thanks for reading.
