F28 | INFJ | Masculine woman looking for a soft, fiery and spiritual guy
Heyoo. So I'm looking for a connection with depth and emotional intimacy. A connection where we can be ourselves and where I feel safe and respected as I am. Someone I can call my best friend and hopefully also partner if our connection develops into something really special and deep. Someone who thinks I'm brilliant the way I am and he just likes being around me even if we do nothing special.
I want to start as friends because I'm not about going fast and I need to know a person deeply before I know if they're someone I'm romantically interested in. I like to just relax and see where our connection leads. But not in a flimsy way like k let's see what happens, but in a intentional way. Like let's see what unfolds here and if it's something special.
Now let's get into who I am. I live in Finland, my mother tongue is Finnish but I'm bilingual these days cause I've spoken English every day for almost a decade now. I have an american accent with a bit of british sprinkled in there. I don't know where the british comes from, it just happens 😄. I don't really define my sexuality with a label. I just say I like girls mostly and sometimes guys. It's very nuanced and I don't like limiting myself with a label. I'm anyway more interested in someone's essence and personality rather than their gender.
I'm a witch. Ooo spooky, run 👻. Okay lol but seriously I'm a witch so I practice witchcraft. I'm a deeply spiritual person overall. My spirituality is based on witchcraft, nature and goddess spirituality. I love manifestation, tarot/oracle cards and dream interpretation. Also interested in the occult. Shamanism also fascinates me. I'm a very spiritual person so if you ask me how I'm doing I might be going through some deep transformation within and I might be receiving guidance, intuitive hits, or I might just know something and then it happens etc. so if you wanna know me, be prepared for that kind of stuff. I get along best with people who aren't overly logical and who acknowledge that there is a spiritual aspect to life. So if you're like very skeptical and don't believe in anything spiritual, we aren't a good fit.
I'm a masculine presenting woman and for me that means I'm very male-leaning in how I look, my mannerisms, clothes etc. I have a masculine energy to me most of the time. But when I say masculine I don't mean tough, toxic or macho. I'm talking about healthy masculinity. And when I say male leaning I don't mean like omg Thor XD, I mean more like boyish looks. Basically I don't look like a woman and I'm not interested in looking like a woman, but I am a woman. Got it? Great. I like masculine clothes, I love cologne and wear a suit to fancy occasions. In every day life I love casual, comfortable but stylish clothes. I mostly wear streetwear, if that's what it's called.
In a relationship I'm naturally very protective of my partner and caring. I like holding my partner on my lap or have them lay on my chest when we sleep or when I'm reading etc. I'm clingy and affectionate so I like holding my partner close often and giving him kissies 🥰.
I'm someone who really doesn't give a damn about gende roles and honestly heteronormativity is such a cult in my opinion lol. It's disturbing to me how someone's behavior, personality, roles in life or in a relationship are expected to be determined by their gender. Like why would some generalized idea fit every complex individual person, just because they happen to be some gender? Doesn't make any sense to me. We all are aware that people are unique and different. I don't think anyone is meant to fit into some box.
I'm very attracted to guys who are smaller, delicate and have a soft and warm personality. I also prefer guys with more boysih and soft looks. But then I also like guys who are physically fit and strong. I find physical strength very attractive. But I also like more delicate guys who aren't strong.
What's most attractive to me is someone secure in themselves, confident, warm and he dares to be authentically himself, even if it ruffles feathers or someone disagrees.
My weakness is someone with a cute and innocent vibe but someone who is fiery, opinionated and speaks his mind as well. You know a softie with a backbone. I like a soft boy with a bit of an attitude :D. The more stubborn the better. I'm a very headstrong person so I want someone who's as headstrong as I am. I want someone who can answer my fire with fire.
I'm attracted to a guy whose character I admire. He's respectful, warm, curious about me but respects boundaries, polite and overall considerate of others. Someone who loves banter and being absolutely ridiculous together but also can be calm and grounded when the moment calls for it. I like someone who has a calm personality with a playful and cheeky side. Someone who feels grounding, steady but also radiant and alive. But I also love someone who yaps a lot and I think I need an extrovert or an ambivert. Someone who likes talking a lot with people. I'm quiet sometimes but with someone I love I'm a podcast and love talking for hours. So I really love it when someone likes talking a lot, about regular stuff, funny stuff, deeper stuff. Someone who makes me laugh just by being himself.
It's very important to me that my partner is someone who believes that human rights aren't up for a debate or an opinion, they're a given and everyone deserves to be treated with respect. He doesn't listen to degrading rap music, watch youtubers who make offensive jokes, he doesn't use words like the b word, mf, etc. because he understands that's offensive and harmful language. Like can I find a guy who just realizes on his own that hey, that's not a nice thing to say or do, even if it's normalized in every day life. I've yet to find a guy who is normal like this and self aware and naturally just notices injustice and cruelty.
There's also this thing about me, I'm very independent and I'm used to carrying it all alone. I'm a very resilient person emotionally and mentally. I'm also strong willed. That's why I've always wanted a partner who can match that. Who's the same type of resilient and has that inner strength. I've felt dissatisfied in past connections when I noticed that the other person couldn't hold as much as I could. I mean in a way like, he'd say don't worry I got it, I'll handle this one just relax. Someone who takes initiative to do something without asking. You know a natural leader type of person. I feel like I need a relationship where we both are natural leaders. That's the only way I'll feel fulfilled. Because yes I love to lead, I love to protect, I love to be the strong one. But I also love when my partner does that naturally, because that's just who he is.
I've also noticed that too often people are intimidated by me. I'm a very blunt and honest person, not in a rude way but I'll tell you what I think. And often that would mean the other person retreats and shrinks in my presence. People are different but when it comes to romance, for me, it has to be someone who doesn't shrink in my presence. A guy who doesn't get intimidated by a fiery personality or by me giving him my trademark calm stare when questioning him about something. The point is I've got opinions and I share my thoughts openly. And apparently I have a habit of triggering even the most calm seeming dudes just by calmly questioning their behavior. I genuinely don't know what it is. I'm not doing anything special. But I do know that I'm only attracted to a person who doesn't shrink or run away when I talk to him or when there's a tough conversation that needs to happen. I wanna be able to be my full self without him shrinking himself. So that means I'm looking for a guy who's very secure in himself, mature and confident.
I also like someone who's a bit of an irritating asshole. Not genuinely, I don't like some disrespectful idiot. I mean he likes annoying me playfully and if I shove him he just grins and he likes seeing my attitude. That type of dynamic. For example I like shoving his chest whenever he's annoying (or perhaps when I'm flustered but I never said that). And sometimes, when I'm arguing I'm actually flirting. I know, I'm a confusing lass 🤌🏻. but if you know me well you know if I'm actually angry or just into you.
I really like people who can easily talk to others and love having conversations. Someone who's genuinely curious about my inner world and what I think. Someone who's present and not in his head thinking about some trauma that happened five years ago or whether the dishes are done or whatever the helly else. Like just a guy who can sit there and be there with me without rush or urgency. Real presence.
Deep connection and community are part of my core values. I really value having close connections and I become very devoted/loyal once I trust someone. I really dream of that best friend energy. Like we can talk about anything, just hang out and have a whole slumber party just chatting to the wee hours of the morning in bed just being silly or talking about what's been bothering us, you know just normal stuff. But we both feel like we can just relax and be ourselves here. We don't need to pretend we are more knowledgeable or capable than we actually are. That kind of safety and bond is what I dream of.
Couple lifestyle related notes:
- I don't drink or smoke and never want to. I want a partner who feels the same way. Friendship wise it's fine if you drink occasionally (without trying to get drunk)
- I live in Finland and don't have interest in moving abroad
- I'm child-free by choice. I love children but I just wanna have fun doing what I want with my partner for the rest of my life so kids are a no thanks for me
My age range is about 23 to 33 give or take.
