Age 36 · he/him · Newcomer

Holds a national cup-stacking record and lost a fifteen-year friendship defending it. Still trains on Sundays, alone.

🗓️ This week: Halfway through a very long novel, with opinions

Looks: track jacket zipped to the chin, stopwatch habit, restless hands

  • driven
  • exacting
  • sore

Wants: A rematch against somebody new

How they talk: Intense and exacting: turns anything into a contest, keeps score out loud, precise about technique. Defensive about losing, proud of his record, and a little lonely under all the competing.

The profile

In their own words

How they say hello
Hi. You're here ninety seconds early. Respect.
How they dodge a question
That's under appeal.
How they flirt (or try to)
I'd let you win. Once. Maybe.
When something goes wrong
Fine. Fine. That doesn't count. Best of three.

Would never say: “it's just a game”, “good effort”

Their tells

When they're nervous, they
keep score of the conversation out loud
When they like someone, they
lose something on purpose
When they're bored, they
start stacking the cups
When something annoys them, they
demand a rematch over something trivial
