26F, Looking for my bestfriend

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! Please read my whole post before deciding to DM me.

I’m a 26 year old female from Brunei 🇧🇳, born and raised Muslim, ethnically Indian but fully raised in Brunei. I’d say I’m more “westernized,” as people on Reddit would put it. I’m not traditional, I speak my mind, I’m open minded, I love debating for fun and I absolutely love having fun (movie nights, late night drives, skydiving, roller coasters, that stuff). I have a bachelor’s degree in Accounting & Finance and am currently finishing up my ACCA. I’m moderately religious (I do my fardh prayers, fast, and pay zakat).

I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, hike once or twice a week when I can, and play badminton at least once a week (I’m a little obsessed). I have both girl and guy friends, with boundaries in place. I’m a polyglot who speaks six languages, English being my strongest, and my friends jokingly call me “LA girl” because of my accent. I’m currently applying for jobs in other countries, mainly Germany, Canada, the UK, and Ireland, as I feel I’ve outgrown my current small country. I’m career driven and want to achieve a lot in life. I would describe myself as a hopeless romantic, kind and caring but I speak my mind freely when appropriate and do not live for society. I firmly believe my happiness is my own (and my husband’s of course) and do not bend myself to make others happy. oh also, I am 158cm/5’1, medium/tan skin, atheletic-ish figure.

\*\*What I’m looking for:\*\*
Someone who matches me in religiosity, someone who considers themselves moderate. Fit and active, on the same wavelength as me. Someone who enjoys the outdoors and seeks out adventure. Speaks excellent English. Aged 26 to 33. Someone career driven, emotionally available and \*\*secure\*\* in themselves. 5’5 and taller. Romantic and kind.

I’d prefer non South Asians, simply because I fully reject the idea of a dowry and won’t entertain requests like a set amount of gold the bride must wear, or assets required by the bride’s family, etc. That said, if you’re a second generation immigrant or beyond and have fully moved away from that culture, it’s fine, though please note this has to apply to your family too, not just you. I have goals of moving to the West, so if that aligns with you, even better.
I’d like to be married within six to twelve months of meeting and deciding we’re compatible. I want to be childfree. Yes, forever. Non-smoker/vaper.

If you’re interested, please send me a DM introducing yourself. Please don’t send just a “hi” with nothing else, I won’t be responding to those.

I’m not here to waste my time or anyone else’s. Once we’ve established a base level of compatibility and talked for a while, I’d like to involve my Wali to keep things halal and move forward with purpose.

Also, if you don’t like me or don’t want to be childfree, please just scroll past. I’d rather you not argue with my preferences or offer advice (I already posted this on a different sub and got more unsolicited advice than I needed).
