Hello!

First off, I hope your weekend is off to a great start. I enjoyed a nice bike ride with my son this morning. I’ll have the house to myself a little later so I can focus on some chores, reading, and hoping my Gators can get another win. Spooky Season is upon us and I know those cool, crisp fall days are just around the corner. With the house calm for a bit, I thought I’d try posting here with the blind hope of making that connection. If you feel similar let's chat!

About Me: I'm a 44-year-old dad in LA, balancing the ups and downs of parenting and a dead bedroom. My days are usually a mix of hybrid work and doing my best to entertain a 10yo boy lol. Trying to appreciate some me time while I can. Music is my savior, and I'm always up for swapping music recommendations.

Physically, l've got dirty blonde hair (with more grey streaks now than I’d like to admit), blue eyes, 6’3”, and a decent build. I enjoy working out, swimming, and cooking. Nothing beats good wine and good food. Big Film/TV nerd, and I collect vinyl. I love my family, but I'm also craving something for myself. Like most here I’m not looking to change anyone’s situation, but I do want to give and receive that attention I’ve been lacking for far too long now.

What I'm Looking For: I'd love to connect with someone between 20-40 who feels that lack. The yearning for that special something all humans need. If you're juggling kids, work, and life's constant demands, while not feeling physically/emotionally appreciated, we're probably on the same page.

I'm looking for someone who's got the time and energy to invest in this connection. We both have our own lives so I’m not expecting, nor needing, 24/7 communication, but I want those good mornings, goodnights, and the small moments that make up real conversations. Tell me about your green and red flags. Maybe share some of the crazy Reddit experiences I’m sure we’ve both had. Let's start with chatting here on Reddit, and if we click, maybe move to Telegram or another platform for deeper conversations. I know physical attraction can be a big part of this, and am happy to swap pics when you’re comfortable.

I'm hoping to find someone who desires a connection as much as I do. If you're looking for a distraction and want to connect, drop me a message. Whether it's sharing funny life stories, venting about your work/home life, or just talking about random stuff, I'm here for it.

P.S. If you're local to Los Angeles, it would be great to eventually meet up in person. Let’s get a coffee sometime.
