About me:

• Mid-40s, 5'10", 175 lbs, salt-and-pepper full head of hair, no facial hair, muscular, in good shape, fit, athletic. No drugs, no drinks.
• Thoughtful, charming, kind, and grounded. well-traveled, well-read, well-groomed.
• Successful in career, strong trajectory
• Love working out—biking, pickleball, weights, hiking, ...
  
• Recently read Man's Search for Meaning—such a powerful read that really deepened my outlook on life. Also read "Hail Mary" and "Thinking fast and slow"
• I believe real connections are possible, even in complex circumstances.
• I’ve been in this place before, and I know exactly why I’m here. I’ve made peace with my choices, and I’ve learned how to balance the different aspects of my life. There’s space for everything—my family, my work, and a connection that’s just for me and you.
• Not looking for a fling/ONS. I believe that real intimacy comes after forming a solid bond of trust and friendship. The emotional connection always makes the physical connection more rewarding, and that’s what I’m after.

What I’m looking for:

• One and only one
• Closer in age to me, within 2 hrs of Seattle, ideally married/in-relationship, no racial preferences.
• Deep intellectually simulating conversations across variety of topics, with toppings of sarcasm.
• Being emotionally in tune, match my energy.
• Discretion and respect are non-negotiable. I'm not looking to disrupt lives and so are you. No drama. Guilt free.
• Open to where things go—love doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game.

I wont waste time, not fake, wont ghost. I understand how hard it can be when you’re not getting the attention you deserve. I’m not flaky, and I’ll be present, showing up when you need someone to talk to, share with, or just be around. And if I cant, I will let you know (see my recent post on /r/adultery)

If you can relate to this, ask me anything. I will answer truthfully with full candor.
