(Quick note: obviously this is a throwaway account-- if you click on my username, though, my "display name" is my real account spelled backwards, so if you want you can see what else I'm up to on here. The recent post in r/daddit entitled "My two-year-old eating dinner" is me.)

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm 37 years old, married, father of a two-year-old. Let's get to know each other! Tell me about your career, your likes and dislikes, your crazy stories, and I'll tell you mine. Then we can see where it goes and decide if we want to "escalate" things. Sound good? Great, I think so too :)

I have lots of hobbies and interests, and would hope that you do too. I've done this enough times that I know what's important to me, and if you have anything you're really into that you could ramble on and on about endlessly then that pretty much puts you at the top of the list. So if you respond, tell me something cool about yourself. And "cool" can mean whatever you want it to!

As for me, I'm both a theater kid and an engineer, and I also enjoy live music/concerts, learning, comedy in all forms, and reality competition shows. I have a job in robotics engineering that I (mostly) genuinely enjoy. I play several different instruments, and I write and record my own songs. Is any of it good? No idea, but I won't force anyone to listen to it.

Physically I'm less of a "Jason Momoa" type and more of a "Hank Green" type, except I don't wear glasses. I may not go to the gym, but chasing around a busy toddler (who also likes to be held and carried) is enough of a workout that I’ve lost 20 pounds since August 2023. Willing to exchange pictures early, and to keep each other honest let's each do one holding a handwritten sign with the date and the other's username on it. (If you can't because you suddenly got "sick", I'll assume you're a scammer.)

About you: I don’t really have any preferences as far as age or body type or anything like that. I guess if you're like 60 that would be pushing it. (And if you're under 30, again I'll assume you're a scammer.) Being funny is a plus. Being interesting, whatever that means to you, is a BIG plus.
