30 [M4F] #Central/SW London - Introverted, intellectual guy looking for a connection launch

Hello. I’ve recently reached the age of 30 (though don’t feel like it at all!) and decided to take a break from conventional dating apps (their algorithms seem to be all over the place nowadays) and try again here (open only to IRL meetings after chatting for a bit but not too long, not looking for pen pals as I don’t have any positive experience). As described below I’m really open to anything from something casual to more serious as long as it’s more less regular. About me - I’m an introvert (INTJ, sometimes I get ISTJ) who works in finance. I like my job as it satisfying, intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding. - When it comes to friendships/acquaintances I definitely prefer quality over quantity. - I live on my own in a tiny 1 bed apartment but luckily I’m able to avoid flatsharing with randoms which can be annoying :P - I do all of my activities on my own yet generally feel comfortable with this but wouldn’t mind doing some of them with another person. Hobbies/free time activities : - arthouse cinema (I have a Classic membership with Curzon - this can be a proof of my deep interest), - museums, art exhibitions (generally prefer contemporary art/design/street art), - theatres (but not musicals!) - travelling (over the last 2 years I’ve been to Estonia, Portugal, Cyprus, Denmark, Norway (twice), Czechia, Spain, Latvia, Sweden, and Austria), - books (personally almost all books I read are non-fiction though open to recommendations as the ones given by goodreads are not that good lol), - music, my music taste is quite peculiar but sometimes I’m able to find a good concert here in London (the less mainstream the better, I tend to listen a lot to non-English language music) - sportwise: gym (not a gym bro, just 2-3 times per week), running, used to have some squash and fencing classes though definitely enjoyed the former much more, about to start yoga classes - Other stuff: I can also talk about politics, geography, current affairs, etc., I’m not a massive sports follower and the only sport I have a vague idea about in terms of what’s going on is football - cooking: I enjoy cooking Asian dishes - Appearance: white European (Central Eastern European) - I prefer to be open about this as I got unmatched/ghosted a number of times when I told where I come from; height: 5ft 9inch/177 cm, weight: 66-68kg, body type: slim, complexion: very pale, eyes: green, hair colour: very dark brown/black, resting angry face as a bonus :P - Views: liberal with some mild social liberal inclinations, agnostic What I’m looking for: - Gender: Women only Some kind of a connection that exists in real life, open to anything really, I’m not going to say that I’m looking only for a serious relationship but I’m also happy to consider something more casual that could stay this way or develop into something more serious if there’s a will from both sides, open to anything really as long as you are a good communicator and are open to hanging out/meeting/spending time together more or less regularly. I’m not particularly experienced but I like to please. In summary - open to anything as long there is attraction and IRL connection. - About you (character): someone who accepts me for who I am (I’m not a massively outgoing person who is very social), is a good communicator and conversationalist and is willing to sometimes spend time together, you should share some of the interests or just be keen to learn about new things (hopefully I can also learn something from you or you can teach me something!), honesty and open-mindedness are characteristics that I value as well, you shouldn’t also be conservative as probably this wouldn’t work. - About you (appearance): hard to say as personally I tend to develop attraction to the other person over time, but generally anything from slim to average/curvy, definitely not obese/overweight. I guess size/body type is the only major red flag. If you are interested please feel free to send me a message. As I’ve said I’m only interested in IRL meetings at some point in a not too distant future (week-two, maybe three). From my experience LDR tend to be a waste of time and are emotionally demanding so please bear that in mind. As I’ve mentioned, based on my recent experience, another important aspect is a regularity of some kind if we click as I don’t like games or being played around. Rather than just saying “Hi. How are you?”, just send me a brief intro and we can start from there. Happy to share pics later. Thanks :)
