35 [M4F] Colorado / North America / Looking for the last, first date!

Hello to this small section of the virtual world! I am a real, human man, looking to go on my last first date. I promise, I am not a robot, some kind of inter dimensional being, or demon sent here to do anything nefarious. I'm just like you, I have skin, I pay taxes, I love going bowling! 1000000% human. Here's a picture of me! https://ibb.co/Q7z5wZW6

Who Am I? : 35 years old, living in Colorado. I spent my late twenties living in Los Angeles, California, pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. When I finally got fed up of endless auditions, too high rent prices, and never being sure where the next check would come from, I packed up shop and moved near my family in Colorado when I was 30 and have been enjoying a slower, steadier, more stable lifestyle, with ample access to the outdoors. I've got my little friend group up here and am so grateful to finally feel like I'm putting down some roots and really enjoying what life has to offer, despite the ups and downs. All that being said, I would LOVE to start dating again and hopefully, that's where you come in!

Some fun facts about me : I'm on the record cover of a Grammy nominated band.. I've had not one but TWO ACL replacement surgeries (whoops!)

I geek out on : So many things! I'm big on my fitness and have a little home gym I've put together over the years that I'm super happy with. I'm mostly into calisthenics and kettlebells these days, but was formerly a powerlifter, and was a rock climber for a decade, before COVID, in all its loveliness, ejected me from the hobby.

I love horror as a genre and am all about horror games, films, comics, you name it, I'll likely consume it. I'm a huge Silent Hill and Resident Evil fan and have been so happy to see horror have a resurgence in general, in all forms of media. It can offer such a unique look into the human experience.

I've been working on my cooking over the past year and I'd like to think I'm a pretty competent chef! I have a rule for myself that if I'm REALLY craving eating out, I've got to at least attempt to do the dish better at home first before I can treat myself. I really enjoy making things for other people, breakfast is absolutely my favorite meal to cook. It's possible I have the best breakfast hash in the nation, though I've yet to enter a contest.

I'm huge on music and listen to absolutely everything, but my "favorite" genres would probably be hardcore / punk, rap, electronic / ambient, and whiny ass pop punk. (Did the ose ring give it away?) I love going to shows, though my moshing / diving days are behind me at this point...unless you can find some way to bring me out of my retirement. Some of my favorite bands include Gangstarr, Death Threat, Turmoil, Joyce Manor, Distance, Aphex Twin, PUP, and Joyce Manor.

Finally, I'm into all kinds of dorky stuff. I work as a computer technician as a living and wish I could just build out computers full time as a living. I love video games (fighting games specifically, Street Fighter 6 anyone?), anime, and really just getting lost in a good world. Would be happy to chat on discord and game together!

I'm looking for : I'm much more drawn to qualities, then any kind of specific look or style. I love people who are curious, not only about themselves, but about others and the world around them. I love people who are kind, maybe a little rough around the edges, a little weird, but don't take themselves too seriously. People that are able to have a sense of humor about the world, but still engage in genuine empathy and understanding when the time calls for it and show up for the people in their lives as best they can. I'm big on being a part of a community and showing up for my people as much as possible. Understanding and genuineness are things I try to cultivate in my day to day, so I hope they're important to you as well. Finally, I truly believe being in a relationship, of any kind, is a team sport and there's nothing more attractive then mutual effort!

Together we could : Go thrifting for matching jean shorts and hit the In-N-Out on the way back, wearing said jean shorts of course. Stage dive on each other at a concert, then camp out in the mountains. Have a night in where we (playfully) argue over the interpretation of a film we just watched, then retreat to our respective corners and be alone together. Persevere together through tough times, just to come out stronger on the other end. Totally fall in love and go crazy for each other (woahhhhhh, what a concepttttttt)

If any of this spoke to you, please reach out and see if we connect. I am currently based in Colorado, but am happy to do semi long or even long distance, as long as we can establish plans to see each other within ~6 months to a year. I'd love to hear about what you value, what things make you happy in life, or something that you go crazy for, not matter how small.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you : )
