31 [M4F] | Metro Manila | Intentionally looking for a partner in life
31, single, based in Metro Manila. I’m at a point where I’d genuinely like to meet someone I can build a life with. I’m not in a rush, but I am dating with intention.
About me
- Engineer working for a foreign company, and I also run a digital business
- Financially independent, live alone, drive
- Life gets pretty busy, but I make time when someone matters to me
- Mostly a homebody, though I enjoy traveling every now and then; I’ve been around parts of Europe and Asia
- Regularly go to the gym and have been wanting to try badminton or pickleball
- I appreciate quiet and silence a lot. At the same time, I can talk about almost anything under the sun if the conversation is interesting
- Curious, analytical, fairly stoic, and a little peculiar about certain things
- Very much an animal person -- dogs, cats, insects, and most creatures people tend to avoid
- Physical touch is probably the most natural way I show affection
Things I’m into
- Greek mythology
- Musicals and theatre plays, though mostly musicals -- Hadestown is my favorite, and I’m also really into EPIC: The Musical
- MCU
- HIMYM, Friends, TBBT, Rick and Morty, Inside Job, and similar shows
- Nintendo Switch; currently spending an unreasonable amount of time on Monster Hunter
- Puzzles and leisurely crosswords
- Reading here and there -- Nietzsche, Poe, and whatever happens to catch my interest
- Music from a pretty wide range of genres
- Coffee. Enough that I somehow ended up owning six coffee machines
I tend to like women who are
- Independent
- Intellectual / naturally curious
- Emotionally mature
- Career-, business-, or passion-driven
- Comfortable having a life and identity of their own
For reference, I’m 5'7", lean, healthy, and take care of myself. I tend to gravitate toward someone similar.
Probably important to know upfront
- Ideally around 28–34
- Metro Manila / nearby -- I don’t believe in LDRs
- I’m not religious and don’t see myself ever becoming religious
- Firmly child-free and won’t be having children of my own
- I’m open to marriage
- Clear communication matters a lot to me
- DDS/BBM apologists, anti-vaxxers, and flat-earthers are hard incompatibilities
I’d like to meet someone I can talk to about serious things and completely stupid things, nerd out with, sit quietly beside without it feeling awkward, occasionally travel with, and eventually call my partner.
If you feel like we might get along, tell me about yourself -- and give me one topic you could talk about for half an hour without needing to prepare.
