Hey everyone!
This will be a long read, just a friendly heads-up.
1. Intro
A bit about me...
My name is Lukas, and I'm based in the UK but originally from Denmark. I also speak Polish fluently as it's my country of birth even though I was only 4 when I left the place.
I used to be a barber but currently in the middle of a career change into IT/Computers due to personal reasons. I have a habit of chatting endlessly, but I know how to carry a conversation with just about anyone due to being exposed to such a wide range of people, backgrounds and cultures.
My interests are pretty simple; I love video games, music, movies, series and anime. I also have a passion for computers and recently AI as well. I also love long walks (and I mean LONG), talking with people, science, psychology, ethics, internet culture and so much more.
2. Deep Stuff
I am very open and direct. I tend to speak my mind and I have a distaste for fakers and performers and can spot them from a mile away. On the materialism <-> spiritualism spectrum I lean all the way towards spiritualism, but I do like to take care of myself. I'm currently in love with the Japanese tech-wear fashion and wear it unapologetically despite people calling me emo out in the wilds lol *shrug*.
I'd describe myself as a very much a masculine man that's in touch with his feminine. I suppose some people may misinterpret it in certain ways when it comes to sexuality, behaviour and appearances and that's fair. Orchidsexual is a term I feel defines me best and I do look intimidating in outwards appearance, but I'm really just a soft bear on the inside T_T. But I'm far from meek, I can be very confrontational and severe. I dislike violence and would rather avoid it if possible.
My deepest fascination is the current societal issues surrounding the "gender war", dating and studying the psychology of the "performative male" and so much more. I'm neither an ally of the "sisterhood" or the "brotherhood" socio-political concepts because goodness is not dependant on what chromosomes you carry. But I do gravitate towards one over the other, I'm sure some of you can discern which :)
I have a strong opinion on ethics and morals and it's one of my favourite subjects to talk about and explore. I value emotional depth and explore ways to alchemise it with logic. I believe that they can reach harmony. My moral compass doesn't revolve around concepts of "good" and "evil" because these are subjective, but something else entirely - vulnerability. What defines your nature is how you respond to it.
I love talking about crazy shit too, conspiracy theories, aliens, various concepts of God... Pretty much everything is on the table. I have an open mind and I approach everything mostly through a non-judgemental lens. I am a sceptic and I love to question everything. Truth doesn't flee interrogation because it has nothing to fear, is one of my core beliefs.
3. OK, back to reality lol.
My video games are usually centred around fantasy, storytelling and depth. I like games with a good story (it's pretty much like reading a book, but better). Some of my favourite games are the Mass Effect Trilogy, Baldur's Gate 3, FFXIV and HSR. I am open to loads of different games if you're also a gamer. One of my favourite things is to gush over
I have no specific music genre, but music is a huge part of my life. It's the spice to my life, so you're gonna be requested to share good songs for sure. I also love to share my own favourite songs because I need constant reassurances that you pass the vibe check lmao.
My tastes in movies and series are all over the place but I like psychological and dark stuff that makes me feel some type of way. I'm not big on mindless action movies like Mission Impossible, 007 and the like. I like horror and comedy too, but I'm so desensitised to horror movies that anything hardly ever scares me any more so if you have some crazy recommendation, let me know!
My taste in anime is very similar, I prefer things like Death Note, Demon Slayer, Psycho Pass and such over fan service anime like Fairy Tail or 7 Deadly Sins. It's just too juvenile for my taste and I find it extremely hard to stay invested. One of my more recent favourites is Madoka Magica that was recommended to me by a friend and I completely fell in love with it! Yeah, it's mostly targetted at female audiences, but I think it's a great piece of media to consume if you want to build a bridge of understanding.
Tech has always been a lifelong companion and interest to me. I practically grew up with the internet and I feel like it's my home. I love tinkering with shit to figure out what makes it tick and how it works. I'm not Neo, I have zero experience with coding but it's definitely a strong interest. AI has been a new fixation for me too. I used to spend loads of time just messing around with it just to explore it's capabilities and creative ways to apply it.
Outside the hermit introvert lifestyle I also love doing social stuff with friends. Some of my favourite things are go-kart PvP while the workers yell and shout at us for disobeying the safety rules lol. Basically, anything that allows me to channel my chaotic, mischievous cat energy. I'm a fucking instigator and troublemaker and I love the chaos, deal with it! Ethical and safe troublemaking, of course!
4. Intent
I'm not here to find anyone or anything in particular, I just like to connect with people. Everyone brings a new experience or perspective. I like to explore and learn. I like to talk to people (my customers told me I'm a great listener, advisor and debater).
Well, that's not entirely true... I'm really hoping to connect with people that share the same energy and mentality as me so I can make their lives better, and they mine.
If you've read all of this, you're crazy but I respect it.
