u/General-Stop5821

So I'm a Sailor home port is San Diego. Just joined, about a year ago, very late ik. I'm loving it, honestly should have been here when I was 22 but it is what it is life happened. Putting in the paper work for my MAP when ever my shipmate updates my PRIMS, so soon to be a 3rd class (E4) as a non push button rate. That's probably gibberish to most but basically it's an accomplishment and a merit based reward 'cause I'm awesome a nerd. E4 is often considered the start of making good money as enlisted. Personally I think it's more E5 but still a good income, enough to single income even as long we live within our means. I'm thinking of staying in after this contract but I'm also not mentally locking myself to one path.

There is a bit of a potential issue and it will probably be the main deal breaker; my current orders will have me on a 4 month rotation of deployment 4 at sea 4 on shore for the next 4 years (this isn't locked in and can change as I promote but for now that's the laid out plan) I do have a very light schedule when on shore (practically a vacation) so I'll have tons of time to make up the lost time.

I'm single, never had a ring, no kids(open to having kids or not it's your call really. If I have a kid I'm putting my everything in so don't worry about that).

I'm a bit introverted in that I need to recharge outside of social stuff but I'm definitely very out going and sociable in public hell of a yapper too.

My love language physical touch (cuddle ect.), acts of service (doing small things for each other simply because we know it makes them happy or it's something they prefer), and here's the non-standard one getting involved in each other's hobbies, how ever that takes shape even if it's just vibing with the other while they do their thing.

My hobbies would be: online gaming(PC), Motorcycles (ride and wrench), Metal Working/Fabrication and other stuff along these lines. I also have a bunch of smaller interests that are hard to itemize. Anime (trash and peak), various other types of shows too. I'd like to get into cosplay but I don't really do stuff like that solo when left to my own devices. Armor, helmets and masks really are my true fashion sense. Same goes for for ren fairs.
I am a Gunner's Mate that wasn't an accident I really like firearms, gun-smiting and ballistic science.

I know despite me not caring deeply about my partner's beliefs as I feel 2 adults can have wildly different opinions and still have a strong and loving relationship as long as respect flows both ways but these 2 things are sadly gonna limit my matches heavily. I believe in honesty and disclosure though so yea here it is. I'm not really right or left, I am a strong second amendment advocate (which is why I dislike both dominate political parties). Socially I lean more liberal honestly but economically I'm more conservative. I have wildly different takes topic to topic it's really hard to even self evaluate. I've been called far right by those on the left I've been called a socialist and a commie by those on the right idk. I'd rather not get into heavy political stuff right out the gate but if you have a must know just ask. (For the record my mom(mid leftish), my sister(deep left), my dad (mid-deep right) and I(touch left of center kinda right?) all have wildly different political opinions but are also close so I know how to navigate those relationships with tact and maturity)

Appearance stuff that pics don't really cover: I'm 6'3" As for weight honestly I've been bouncing around between 230 to 270 since boot. My body despite being 29 is still extremely good at massively shifting weight both muscle and fat so if you want me lean just give me the external motivation I need and wait a few months(please honestly I need this I want to lock in, give me drive). That said my top end there of 270 isn't actually that unhealthy on my frame I just passed BCA and got pretty good scores on my PRT at 265.

I'm a pretty open and accepting person so shoot your shot just disclose things, finding stuff out later even if it's something I'm fine with just kinda sucks. I'm not really gonna go super into like a narrow ideal partner personality wise that I'm looking for just hopefully we have a bit in common and tell me about yourself overshare info dumps are more than welcome.

Non Negotiables:

-Loyal. Deployments are rough enough as is I need to have complete trust in you however that takes shape. I also know the flip side of that coin is true and I hold my self to the same standard.

-Single without kids.

-Willing to exchange sfw pics in first 1 or 2 messages. I'm sorry I know it sucks but attraction does matter as a piece of the puzzle. I'd like to check that box early to avoid rough feelings on both sides.

(If there's distance for the next 2)

-Open to voice calls and hanging out online. Not here for forever text that goes no where and leads to nothing.

-Open to meeting safely and in person soon relative to distance/difficulty.

-"If they got a CAC throw em back" Not looking to have a relationship fracture when one of our orders change. 1 CAC per relationship is the golden spot, someone's gotta reap the rewards with out the contract.

Negotiables:

-I would prefer slim/petite, y'know fill my heart not my hand iykyk.

-Somewhere around a healthy weight.

-White or Asian preference. Just the most likely I'll be attracted to not a requirement for attraction.

-US based for ease of meeting but outside the US is not off the table just there's certain things I'm not the only one with a say in (security clearance). An example would be living in china with a business, debt, and with deep family roots and close family in gov jobs = big can't too much leverage and too many ties. :(
However like from China in US legally no economic ties and like small family no gov ties = maybe ok? Honestly I'd have to talk to a security officer but I'm sure it's doable if things are truthfully reported.

-20-32 years old but again negotiable.

If you didn't get filtered by the deal breaker or the thousand tangents and massive paragraphs. I cant wait to get to know you. Feel free to ask me anything I'm an open book and honest to a fault lmao.

Marked NSFW because I've had past post of similar contents get dinged for not having it? Also I'm open to NSFW but not really looking for it. I just want to be happy.
