I’m a 33 year old doctor who is vegan for the animals.

I do not want biological children, but I still like kids, and if you have them, that’s cool. Adoption would be fine. Childfree/DINKWAD is also great.

If you’re still interested after that, I’m also kinda straight edge. I don’t drink, smoke, or use any drugs. I will gladly go to a bar though and get the NA option because I still like the atmosphere, but I’ve seen too much to want to drink it myself.

I’m allergic to cats. I like them, but couldn’t really live with one. I am obsessed with dogs and would love to have one or five at some point.

If you’re still here, yay!
Unless you voted for Trump.
In that case, now is the time to exit if the child-free vegan thing didn’t already do it for you. It only gets worse.

I’m 5’2”-3” (3 when I’ve been good about going to hot yoga). Brunette. My mom thinks I’m pretty.

While I’m vegan, it’s for the animals. I’m not anal about my health, so if it’s vegan, I’ll eat it. That said, I try to keep moderately healthy, mostly so I don’t feel guilty when I tell other people to eat healthily and exercise.

I was raised Jew-ish, but I’m atheist, so secular Jew I guess. I’m a doctor and good with my finances. I’ve been told I’m funny. I like a good debate, but let’s not mistake that with arguing. (I actually tend to be an easy going, problem-solving, diplomatic person. But I like logic, and I want to get to the best idea). I love a deal and tend to be fairly frugal. I didn’t actually have a bat mitzvah though, so I probably don’t really count, depending on who you ask.

Politically progressive, but I can separate what a country’s government is doing from the country. For example, fuck Trump, fuck Netanyahu and their policies, but sure, the US and Israel can continue to exist. Some might think that makes me a Zionist, but I think a country continuing to exist sounds reasonable. I disagree with the means to that end, but I don’t have the answer as to what should happen instead. The whole thing is tragic. I don’t know how to label myself, but I’m throwing out my actual belief, because I’m sure it’s a dealbreaker on either end for some.

As for a relationship, monogamy is definitely my thing. If we’re going to live together at some point, I don’t want non-vegan food in the house, just as I would not want to smell smoke in my house. I can ignore what I don’t know about food-wise (ie if someone ate it outside the house, and I didn’t see/smell/taste it ever - same goes for weed, I could live with that).

I hate astrology. I test as ENTP/INFJ, but that stuff also has its issues. Take it as you will.

I like to travel, and my schedule allows for it every other week, which is nice. I speak 3-4 languages.

I have my own hobbies and friends, and I hope you have yours. I’m not going to make you come dancing or do yoga, and I hope that flows the same direction. I’m not going to become a runner, but I will cheer for you on the sidelines at a race. People don’t need to do all the same things in order to be compatible.

I’m a medium texter. I don’t text at work, which is all day until I get home. It doesn’t mean I’m not interested. When I’m interested, I do my best to hang out in person. My love languages are quality time, physical touch, and acts of service. Tbh receiving words of affirmation and receiving gifts makes me feel weird.

If you got this far, I would love to meet for coffee and go on a walk or something else low stakes!

I sold a figurine that was listed as Broken and reglued, seller refurbished. In the description, I said this was still weak in a particular spot and vulnerable to breaking, and if it comes unglued during shipment to just reglue it. I listed it super cheaply because of this. It’s actually a rare item, and if it were in mint condition it could have sold for more. There were multiple bidders, but you’d think they’d bid on what is expected in the description.

Buyer did not read description. I asked them.
It came exactly as I warned it would despite tons of padding. However, they initiated a return because of « arriving broken. »

I do not sell professionally. Just cleaning out the house basically. I don’t want the item back. I don’t feel like listing again. And it is fragile. I don’t trust this buyer who can’t read to package it any better than I did to get it back to me.

What bugs me though is that eBay gave me no option to decline the return. Their customer service line is entirely AI with no way to talk to a human. You can’t even write a message in. The AI even asks « is this about Figurine - broken » (broken figurine was the title). « You must accept return because item is broken. » If you try to ask anything else, the AI literally just says goodbye and hangs up. In the old eBay days, a human would have refunded the buyer and let the seller keep the money from what I can remember at least. And if they had more info, I’m pretty sure they’d not penalize a seller for sending an item as described. Like how are you supposed to sell something for parts anymore? People buy things knowing they’ll fix them. That’s not an uncommon situation. This is a whole avenue for people to scam sellers.

Anyway, I’m never selling on eBay again.

I follow this group passively - I crocheted a bit but never anything serious. It’s pretty difficult to do well imo. So I’m just here to say that the projects I see on here are so incredibly impressive, beautiful, and artistic. Some of the stuff posted on this could be in a museum or something. I admire you all deeply, and I think you guys are amazing! 🤩
