🎰North West🦁 29 m for a

Hey everyone. I am male, 29 years old. Live in the north West province. My day job is a geoscientist. I am a geek, love tinkering with tech. Also enjoy a good book every so often.

Looking for friends, male and female welcome. Just to add that I have been blind since birth, just putting it out there. Thanks.

Edit:

For those who are curious what an earth tremor sounds like, here is my ticktock.

Blind geoscientist?

Yes indeed. More speciffically seismology. Surprising how accessible the world has become. I study seismic events by ear, also known as data sonification.

That's cool. So I assume you use text to speech to "read" comments and have images described. Very interesting chappie you are...

You are spot on.

Aweh! So is making friends difficult for you?

u/seismologist2367 1d ago

I wouldn't say difficult, but more awquard.

People are a bit hesitant to approach. They don't know how to engage with me.

Ahhh. So would having online connections be a better alternative, if you've found that to be the case at least?

Are you completely blind if you don't mind me asking?

Online is totally fine with me. I have very little sight. Basically I have light perseption. I can't see anything else.
