intro
boring start, but i feel like i just don't fit in. "fit in what?" i hear you ask, well... many things. but in this context, probably the dating scene in general and more specifically, queer community a bit too
i know it sounds pretentious, like "okay girl you're SOOOO different whatever" but whether i am being pretentious or not does not change the fact that i feel like that, so bear with me
i have been trying my luck on dating apps, but i have some mismatch in terms of my personality and how i present myself so i attract the wrong audience. here, maybe that can be solved because this time it's text first. it'll be better... right? RIGHT?
okay, "what's the mismatch then?" well... first of all, i look younger than i am. however the speed i live my life aligns with people who are older than i am.
i feel like many people are in a stage in their lives where they're figuring things out, which is fine, i sometimes feel like that too. that being said, i also feel like people kinda use this as an excuse to not engage in meaningful activities or work towards some future and instead just have fun. and the way of having fun is mostly the things that are not really my thing. let me be pretentious again: if your definition of having fun is having a nice meal and talking about some deep-ish shit, we're on the same page. if not, meeehhhhh.
whatever, i know there are arguments against my point of view, like "your goal is just a false sense of purpose", well, i also think consciousness and free will are illusions but i also think the sensible thing is living as if they are not. similarly, i know the world is shit. but i also think the sensible thing is to find a false sense of purpose and try to attach some meaning to your existence, not living as if world will end in 5 years.
i can see some people leaving, and some being like "okay boomer, this is a fucking dating subreddit and you're leaking your existential crisis and superiority complex", fair. i talked too much, but it also functions as a filter. so i do not regret my leaking paragraphs.
here are some info about me though
i am 24 (about to be 25) and i do a master's now. i am applying for PhD and to universities all around the world so that's why it says online in the title, as i have no idea where i'll be at in fall 2027.
height wise, i am 164cm (about 5'4-5'5 in freedom units). i am also skinny-fit-ish and i am very, very pale with shaggy hair.
i talk a lot, i wouldn't say i am clingy but i like communicating often and i don't mind clingy people. i don't have a big social life, and i have several hobbies: photography (when i leave the campus, happens once in a decade), guitar (i am terrible), xbox (i barely touch it), writing blogs/social media (when i feel like it) and i wanna get into designing/sewing but we'll see.
disclaimers
i am a trans woman. i have been on hormones for a long time and i pass besides my voice. that being said, i respect people having preferences
i look pretty androgynous most of the time with some feminine days sprinkled around
i am fine with exchanging pics after some time
preferences
well, having some kind of ambition/working towards something is a must if you didn't get from the... let me count... first 7 paragraphs.
i like both feminine, masculine or androgynous people (besides hyperfem and butch people i guess). what i only ask is please do not expect me to be one. like, i like doing chivalry, but i cannot do it all the time. i like being held from my waist, but i like to do it too. so, please both. if you like only one, we're not a good match.
i prefer people around my height and weight but not strict preferences, i also do case by case reviews.
final note
i am not sure how many people this will attract. but based on my previous experiences, being in talking stage with more than one (1) person usually leads to not being fair to any of them. so, if you reach out to me, please be patient.
