27M in Canada | Trying to find my person before I become a full time documentary narrator and blanket burrito
Hey everyone. I’m a 27 year old guy based in Canada, originally from a Sunni Muslim background. I’d describe myself as agnostic now.
When I was younger, I used to be very judgmental toward religious people and saw everything in a very black and white way. Over time though, I’ve mellowed out a lot and learned to respect people’s personal choices and beliefs, even if I don’t share them myself anymore.
One of the biggest reasons I started questioning my beliefs in the first place was because of certain things I saw growing up regarding the treatment of women that never sat right with me. I’d consider myself a feminist in my values today, not in a performative way, just genuinely in how I see relationships and people.
At this point in life, I’m honestly looking for my best friend. Someone I can deeply connect with, build a life with, travel with, experience new things with, and just grow together alongside. I’m educated, decent looking, tall (around 6’0–6’1), and currently trying to build healthier routines and a better future for myself overall.
A little about me personally: I’m pretty nerdy honestly. I love reading. Right now I’m trying to educate myself more on finance, but I also absolutely love fantasy, especially Harry Potter. I enjoy trying new food places, travelling (just not alone), and for some reason I’m deeply fascinated by true crime documentaries.
I also love deep dive videos on World War II history, human psychology, and outer space. My YouTube algorithm genuinely looks like a confused historian who also needs therapy.
I’m definitely more of a “tea or coffee wrapped in a blanket watching something interesting” type of person than someone into clubbing every weekend. My ideal night is probably us arguing over what to watch for 40 minutes and then rewatching the same comfort show anyway.
I’m very open minded when it comes to beliefs. You could be atheist, agnostic, spiritual, questioning, or even a non practicing Muslim. I genuinely don’t mind as long as there’s mutual respect and no judgment toward each other’s worldview.
I’d ideally like to settle down eventually, maybe within the next 1 to 2 years if things naturally go in that direction, but I’m not trying to force timelines either.
For now, I plan on staying in Canada, though life can always surprise you. If family dynamics are complicated on your side, I honestly don’t mind playing the “Muslim guy” role in front of family if needed. At the same time, I’m personally open about my non beliefs and wouldn’t expect you to pretend to be someone you’re not.
No preferences regarding ethnicity, sect, background, etc. Chemistry matters more to me than categories.
Also, if you’re just looking for friends and happen to be around Montreal or nearby, I’d genuinely love to connect too since I’m also trying to build a better social circle here.
If you’re in Canada, planning to move here, or even in the US and open to figuring things out later, feel free to reach out.
