LOCAL CONNECTIONS ONLY - This is for all kinds of connections, even platonic.  I've no desire to be tied to my phone, and I'm not into having stamps on hand.  No Pen Pals.

You'd think it would be super easy for an English major to write interesting profile text, wouldn't you? Joke's on you then, I majored in reading, not writing. In all seriousness, or as much as I can muster, I'm just here, taking up space, checking everyone out. That's what the internet is for, right? Anonymity and porn?

I'm a rope bunny book worm with a love of board games, craft beer, American football, (I'll check my fantasy team during dinner. Yes, it's that important.) bad movies, and the Oxford comma. I'm ridiculously passionate over things that can hold my attention, and tend to go just a bit overboard in learning everything I can about a new obsession.

I'm not here with an agenda. I'm dating, having a good time, and seeing if anything develops. While casual sex is something that I okay with, I don't do non-personal sex. I will want to talk to you, and meet you in person first for a non sexual encounter. If all you're looking for a is a photo exchange, and not conversations of substance, I will leave the conversation quickly, and frankly, I won't think I owe you an explanation.

While I don't necessarily have a "type", there are some things I'm adamant about having in a partner.
-Age being the most important. I'm not interested in anyone vastly (the definition I'm using for "vastly" is > 3 years) younger than me. The things I enjoy require experience, and if I can remember what trouble I was getting into when you were born, you don't have that experience. This also implies, rightly, that if you are older than me, and you typed "I'm new here", you don't have that experience.
-There also needs to be some common interests, outside of your kink list. I can't get to know you if we have nothing to talk about. Something about those interests should be in your profile, and I won't reply to a message from an empty profile.
-I also need a partner to be local to Houston. No long distance, no online play.
-Not interested in being a side piece, or any other synonym of "mistress", or a random third. There are no unicorns here. 

Feel free to message, but If you send me a note expressing your undying love, or to let me know that you're in my area on business for one night only, don't expect a response. I'll just post the note so my friends can see it and we can laugh at you. Of course if you're sending me those things, you're not reading this. Go figure!  You'll earn some bonus points by keeping pet names out of your opening message!
