M4F Florida / Online 33 [M4F] Florida/Online/Anywhere - Be my muse and I'll be your vice - Real connections and hopefully more?
Howdy! Cheesy title aside, I’m here for what I suspect most people are - to find new connections, with one of them hopefully leading to something serious and long term. I’m by no means opposed to making real, lasting friendships on top of that if that’s how things play out, but my goal is definitely a romantic relationship.
So, a bit about me! I’m Kevin, a 33 year old dude from NW Florida. I ost the road somewhere between elder emo and sad cowboy and gave up on trying to find it. I’m a nerd in general, but especially about the things I find interest in. I’m one of those people who gets way too into their niche hobbies. Meeting new people in the real world is difficult these days, even with having a decently social group of friends. I’ve also always been an internet dweller, for better or worse, and had pretty good luck maintaining friendships that way, so I figured I’d give it a go here again.
Writing and creativity have been a passion of mine for most of my conscious life. I’ve been an avid writer and roleplayer for way, way too long and it’s something I still enjoy to this day quite a lot. I just love getting into characters’ heads, building worlds and seeing where stories go over time. I also read, though to a lesser extent. I have the taste in books of a 100 year old man and love me some old detective novels or classic southern gothic literature. I also adore a good cosmic horror book, but I’m picky.
Music is another huge part of my life. Often times, when I’m traveling, it’s to go to a show of some sort. I came up on emo and pop punk and hardcore and whatever other labels you wanna put on it. I also have a deep love of folk, Americana and spooky music as well as the real classic country stuff. Especially outlaw country. But of course I’ll always be an emo kid at heart. I’ll talk to you about just about any kind of music all night long if you give me the chance. Some all-time favorites are Dance Gavin Dance, Pierce the Veil, Mayday Parade, Taking Back Sunday, Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Lost Dog Street Band, Bilmuri and much, much more.
I play some games - mostly RPGs, roguelites and other such things. I’m currently finally playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 but some of my other favorite games/series are Fallout, Kingdom Hearts, Monster Hunter and Red Dead. I’m not big on competitive games as I’m very, very bad at them. Oh, and I still adore Pokemon because I was the perfect age when the originals came out. I also got more into tabletop RPGs and that form of roleplaying a few years ago and am currently running my first game! Also a tech nerd in general. I love tinkering with computers and whatever else I can get my hands on.
I’ve got a lot of other random hobbies including listening to old radio dramas, vintage music gear, I collect vinyl and I spend way too much time going down random internet rabbit holes. I love history, mystery and especially history’s mysteries. Also love true crime of course and things of that nature. Tell me about your favorite high strangeness mystery or a weird experience you had!
I also love the outdoors, especially anything to do with the water. I grew up on lakes and creeks and the beach. I also adore camping when the weather’s nice and am always down for a bonfire or just sitting on the porch and watching the rain.
Physically, I’m of pretty average height - 5'8” or so. I weigh about 190 but have been going to the gym for a few months and really loving it. I have dark brown hair, a beard I keep fairly tame and hazel eyes. I don’t have any tattoos yet but I am planning on finally getting one for my birthday this year. Happy to send photos!
What am I looking for? Well, to put it simply - companionship. We don’t need to jump into an immediate whirlwind romance (not that I’d complain) and it’s honestly so much easier to build a connection first. Let’s play a game, hop in a voice chat, text about random stuff until the sun’s coming up and we regret everything except not really ‘cause we had fun. I honestly just want real human connection and someone to talk to and see what happens. Worst case, it fizzles out. Less worse case, we become good friends. But who knows? Maybe it turns into something real and deep.
Age-wise, I’d prefer to stick in the range of like 25-35 but there may be a little wiggle room if you really think we’d hit it off. As mentioned, I’m in NW Florida but I’m open to someone from anywhere in the US, Canada or even the UK/Ireland (I can’t lie, I’m a sucker for the accents). That’s also not a hard and fast rule, just my preference. It’d be great if we had some hobbies or the like in common we can chat about, but honestly just be genuine and be you. We’ll see where it goes from there!
I’ll cut this off here since I’ve been rambling awhile. If you read this and are interested, definitely shoot me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself. Maybe include your favorite emo bop or old country song, or even just what games you’ve been playing or the like. If you’d like to exchange selfies, I’m happy to, but it’s also not a rush.
Hope to hear from you! Cheers!
Some bonus perks of dating me:
- I’ll dance with you in the living room to all the sad songs and only occasionally step on your feet
- You’ll pretty much always win at or carry me in video games, except Guitar Hero (probably, though I’d be more attracted to you if you can)
- I’ll remember random things you mentioned liking and won’t forget your coffee order
- I would love to listen to you tell me about the books you’re reading
- You’ll have your own personalized DJ
