“Hi, I am a young man in my late twenties looking for male support, I love doing anything music and creative art related, and I like to keep fit and active and love to go out for walks with my support. I am hugely sociable and like to meet my friends whenever I can. I am looking for someone on my team who is really good at giving input and coming up with ideas as I always like to keep myself busy, but also someone who can be patient with me and allow me to process things.
