I’ve been on every dating app, OKCupid included, I’ve paid money for premium subscriptions sometimes, I’ve tried to meet people irl, I’m just not lucky in love at all.
I’d hate to say one of the problems is I’m a trans 🏳️⚧️ guy (ftm), but it’s probably at least part of the reason. I could be the greatest guy around (I’m pretty close lol) but women don’t want to give me a chance bc of this reason. I can understand to some degree, everyone has preferences and I wouldn’t want to be with anyone who’s not fully accepting or who doesn’t see me as a complete man.
What can I say, I’m a pretty great guy. I’m not perfect and I never would claim to be, but I love big and with all my heart and I want to share my life and joys and everything with someone special.
I just turned 45 in June (I’m a Cancer ♋️ through and through), I live in central NJ, I’m educated, funny, dramatic, sarcastic, clever, emotional (high emotional IQ), affectionate, athletic (as much as I can be as I’m also disabled from many sports injuries), and good looking if I do say so myself. You be the judge though 😂
Okay fine, so I’m short. But good things do come in small packages. And my personality makes up for that tenfold. I love swimming, the beach, traveling, basketball, animals, tattoos (I have many tattoos), all forms of art (writing, painting, music), I love to read, I love to laugh, I’m big on movie and tv show quotes, I’m also big on sending music or playlists like the new “mix tape” to show how I feel.
I love cuddling, I love being together and just doing literally whatever, being totally comfortable with my partner, being able to talk about literally anything. I’m not into small talk - I get very deep (could be the Cancer ♋️ thing), I’m also a highly sensitive person, I pick up on emotional cues really quickly, I’m empathetic, I try to be understanding, I believe communication is key to any good relationship - I always try to admit when I’m wrong, compromise with my partner, and I’m not afraid to apologize. I look for sincere, genuine, organic connection.
I’m not a rich guy. I’ve struggled my whole life. I think it’s made me who I am. I keep going despite all the obstacles. I have a grown adult child (she’s almost 20). My life has been VERY interesting and I have a lot to offer because of it. I don’t pretend to have it all figured out even though I’m 45, and I’m still on this journey we call life.
I know I could make the right woman extremely happy in every possible way. I believe initial connection is organic and after that love is a choice that you choose every single day. It’s not always easy, it requires work, but if it’s real, it’s worth it 💯.
Anyway, I’m at the point now where I’ll relocate if need be. I’ll do anything to find the woman I belong with - bc it’s one of the few things I’ve always wanted from life. I believe love is part of the human experience everyone deserves to have. We’re not meant to be perfect, all put together, and have it all figured it before we are “allowed” to be in love or be loved. It’s okay to be broken. It doesn’t make us unworthy.
That’s my rant. I hope someone can relate to this and, if nothing else, feel a little less alone knowing you’re not the only one out there thinking these same things. 8 billion people on this planet and you’re telling me there’s not 1 woman out there that might be the one? Kinda hard to believe. Maybe it’s just me and my hopeless romantic nature.
