Hey!

Idk why I am doing this here, but you can say: Hinge, I am done with you, Bangalore Hinge is filled up with people seeking validation for themselves, who ain't looking for anything apart from casual dates just to get social validation so hey, let's actually test if reddit is any better.

Hey again!

I am a 24M, 6ft, engineer from a tier 1 college, hailing from Ghaziabad currently working in Bangalore as an associate product manager with a decent pay of around 2LPM. I will divide this post into 3 segments: first would be about myself, second would be why I am doing this here and last but not the least - what I am looking for in someone.

I am a lazy ass guy for stuff I am not interested in but super enthusiastic about the stuff I like which includes:

a. Cooking: Recently started doing it and it has become one of my favourite activity these days, I cook mostly north Indian stuff along with my mom on vc and try to replicate the homemade taste for myself living 2132 KM away from home.

b. Movies: I am a crazy cinema geek, the kind who even logs the movies and shows he watches ( current list has reached 1200 movies and shows ). I have a home theatre for myself at home but I regularly go to cinema halls for watching the latest stuff. This is my favourite pass time after cooking. C'mon, I need something to watch after cooking the most delicious meals one can eat right?

c. Sports: Not very active in playing sports but I watch quite a bit of sports from cricket to tennis, football to kabaddi. I just love watching competitive stuff.

d. Rest includes, hanging out with my friends, listening to music, art and creative stuff, occasional drinking ( I can fairly say I make the best cocktails one has ever tasted, it's a symphony for your tongue and brain together ) and occasionally playing on Play Station.

e. I am also into filmmaking, designing, music production etc and have worked with several artist like Talwiinder, Vishal Shekhar, Amit Trivedi, Seedhe Maut, Krisna, Vishal Mishra, Indian Ocean, Samay Raina, Suhani Shah, Nucleya, Hanumankind, Mohit Chauhan, Arpit Bala and list goes on and on.

f. I love traveling, bike rides and explore places that people usually don't go ( i hate touristy places ).

g. I have a very peaceful kinda nature, not very open not very restrictive. I take time to open up fully but once I do, i am the most fun to be with ( this my friends say ).

h. I am more of a listener than someone who just keeps blabbering stuff and this i consider as a quality rather than a con about myself because I believe listening to someone helps to connect more deeply than just talking.

Why am I posting all this here? So I tried dating apps, went on a few dates but I feel that place is not for me. I don't think dating based on looks or a few prompts on a profile isn't the right way for finding the right person, and here on reddit i have found people who actually care about stuff and not just take things casually. So I thought, why not try it properly this time.

What I am looking for in someone.

Honestly, I don't have a long list of stuff for this. I am just looking for someone who genuinely cares about the stuff I do, a safe space for me to share anything I have in my mind without hesitation and get to spend some quality time together. I haven't been into a relationship till now because i didn't tried to get into one, and when I tried, i didn't found the right person to get along with. I don't care about ethnicity, religion, caste etc ( i consider them bullshit tbh like if you have to choose someone based on this filter then please stay away as I genuinely don't believe in all these )

For me looks doesn't matter much, what matters is honesty, Good and caring nature, and emotional investment. If you try to give you 100% then you can expect 200% efforts from my side because the people I care about, i don't let them go at all at any cost.

PS: I have green eyes

So finally I got my first modelling work shoot done. I was really very nervous, but it went better than expected.

The day itself started on a rough note, the location was shady and very far away, reaching it was a challenge in itself, but when I reached finally, it was so good.

First time ever I got my makeup done, hairs done professionally. Then the final shoot occured, first outfit, it fumbled very badly, my body has high BODY FAT, so formals didn't worked on me naturally, but then we moved towards ethnic and casual wears and oh man, kya look aaya tha aur kya crazy shoot.

After looking at the photos I was like, is it even me???, 🤩🤩🤩 I was on cloud 9, though the client was pretty satisfied, but I think I could have done better.

The client was polite as well. Really a great experience....!!!
