Hey Reddit,
I’m a 6’3, fit, well-educated guy who’s spent the past decade navigating the wonderful chaos of marriage, parenting, and balancing personal growth with family life. I’ve got a 10-year marriage under my belt (we’ve got one kid), but if I’m being real, the “dead bedroom” situation is something I think a lot of us experience at different points in life. So here I am, trying to find a spark outside the usual routine — someone to share some laughs, good conversations, and maybe a bit of an escape from the mundane.

I’ve been fortunate to travel, read, and meet people from all walks of life, which has given me a perspective I value deeply. I’m a professional who works hard and knows the importance of taking care of myself physically and mentally. But beyond all the hustle, I’m also someone who craves that genuine connection, someone to share new experiences with — especially if it involves exploring new restaurants or going on spontaneous day trips.

Communication, trust, and emotional availability are huge for me. I’m not interested in games. I want something real — and if it turns into something in-person down the road, even better. I appreciate people who are open, honest, and can laugh through the chaos of life (it’s often the best way to survive it).

I’m looking for someone around my age or older, who can relate to the balance of being a parent and still wanting excitement, fun, and meaningful connection. Someone who can carry on a conversation, share a sense of humor, and doesn’t mind being a little adventurous with their time.

Oh, and for reference, I’m someone who’s genuinely interested in learning more about you—so if you’ve got something to share about who you are as a person, I’m all ears. If you’re tired of the surface-level stuff, I’m with you. Let’s skip the small talk and get into what really makes us tick.

Looking forward to hearing from like-minded souls who get it.

TL;DR:

• 6'2, fit, educated, and a professional with a sense of adventure
• Married for 10 years, 1 kid, seeking a bit of excitement and real connection
• Love new restaurants, day trips, and good conversations
• Looking for someone around my age or older who can relate to balancing parenthood and personal growth
• No games. I’m here for something genuine and emotionally available.
• Location: Mercer country, NJ and Toronto, ON. I work in NJ and travel a lot to Toronto for family.

Let’s make life a little less routine, yeah?
