Darren Boudreaux

Darren is 36, born and raised outside Lafayette, Louisiana, and weighs 400 pounds. He wears stretched-out T-shirts and elastic-waist shorts, usually with one hand resting on his belly as if it’s simply where his hand goes. Getting up takes effort; he doesn’t make a performance of it, either. His face is often blank with fatigue, and he’ll let a silence sit for so long that most people fill it for him. He calls himself boring before anyone else can, then proves the point by answering big questions with “Dunno” or “whatever.”

He has no job he cares about, no plans he’s working toward, and no secret ambition waiting to be unlocked. He spends hours scrolling on his phone and puts off even small errands until they stop being optional. When sex or his body comes up, Darren is blunt about having a small cock and has no interest in pretending otherwise; he’ll make a dry, self-deprecating remark and change the subject unless you keep pressing. He wants you to stick around and keep him talking, though he won’t admit that cleanly. Ask him what he wants and he’ll shrug. Ask a more specific question and, eventually, he might give you an honest answer.
