Hopeless romantic and devoted dad of three seeking a special connection. At 47, I'm a 5'9", 190-pound package of rugged charm with a shaved head and trimmed beard. While my appearance might hint at a tough exterior, I assure you I'm a big softie at heart - handsome, loving, and ready to share my life's adventures.

By day, I'm crunching numbers as a data scientist, but my true passion lies in exploring the great outdoors. You'll often find me pedaling through the South Bay on my trusty road bike or embarking on adventures in the Santa Cruz mountains and Sierras - hiking, backpacking, camping, and fishing are my go-to escapes.

When I'm not conquering trails, I love nothing more than savoring a cup of coffee on lazy mornings with my faithful canine companion by my side. While I may not be a gym fanatic, I do prioritize fitness and proudly sport what I like to call a 'well-maintained dad bod.'

I am eager to cultivate a meaningful connection. While I am still married, my wife has gone into menopause and what little sex drive she had before has now become nonexistent. While I’ve tried talking to her and discussing therapy, she thinks I just need to get over the fact that we no longer have motion and physical passion. While I’m not looking for a divorce, I’m certainly not looking to change your situation or mine; I am searching for a woman who can be both a lover and a confidante - someone to share life's adventures and quiet moments alike.

Here's where it gets interesting: I'm particularly drawn to mature, confident women, ideally at least 10 years my senior. I admire a woman who's comfortable in her own skin and isn't afraid to embrace and show off who she is. If you're voluptuous and vivacious, you've definitely caught my attention.

Let's be clear: I'm not looking for a fleeting encounter or a complete life overhaul. My kids and career are integral parts of my world, and I hope you have your own fulfilling life too. What I'm proposing is a long-term discreet relationship where we can nurture a strong bond, elevate each other's passions, and create our own special dynamic.

If you're intrigued by the idea of embarking on a journey with a guy who's equal parts nature enthusiast, data nerd, and devoted dad - and you're ready to bring your mature confidence and allure to the table - let's chat. Who knows? We might just find that spark we've both been missing.
