Hello! I'm super newbie here so I wanted to say hi. I'm a 30 something year old dude who spends time in Austin and San Antonio a lot. To introduce myself a bit, some people say I'm kind although sometimes a bit awkward and some people even go as far as saying that it's fun to hang out with me . I'm hoping to meet nice people is all but I'm quite shy so it may take me a bit to get comfortable. Hopefully I'll get there in time.

One question though, what's the difference between not validated and not verified? As far as I understand you need to be vouched for by other users to get verified but I couldn't follow how to do the validation thing.
