So, out the gate, if you're the type that is constantly googling and looking up anything that you are unfamiliar with or rechecking things that you feel you know but want to make sure, you're probably A. Pretty popular and just the life of parties and social events and B. Maybe just the kind of person I'm looking for.

If not, that's also okay, just know that whatever we talk about, I probably know a thing or two about it, so you gotta kind of have a thing for ("moderately") older guys who know a lot but don't think that means anything more than having good opportunities to be helpful to others.

(Short Bio for those that feel that kind of small talk is necessary before deep diving into conversations and getting to know people:

*6'2" Dad Bod, Bald with a usually short beard that's being grown out for the first time for funzies

*Small business owner that works nights. Jack of all trades that used to be a professional traveling performance artist and now is more of a homebody that makes and sells "Goofy" art.

*Studied psych and has plenty of experience in therapy myself and has years being people's unofficial therapist as a bartender, so I'm really solid if you have any kind of trauma that you want to get into. I've literally seen just about everything you can imagine.

*I'm also completely open with my own issues and trauma. I have depression, anxiety, some neurological issues, and I've been the victim of SA, so if we talk about anything, hopefully you don't mind when people try to relate, I just mainly like to let people know they're not alone and that I'm listening.

Hopefully that all works as "Short")

That being said. I'm lonely and looking to just find someone to focus on and be completely open with that can hopefully become a thing IRL. I want that person to be younger generally because I find I get along better with younger people generally, but I'm relatively open to just finding whatever works and makes sense.

I'm child-free and not particularly interested in changing that anytime soon if ever, and even still adopting makes a lot more sense to me than making a new one, but ideally I would just like to be greedy and have a partner to myself for at least a little bit if kids eventually had to be a part of the plan.

Beyond all of that, I don't know exactly what else to mention beyond just wanting to find someone that I can talk to and feel like there's someone out there to care about that hopefully feels the same.

I don't really have a set age I'm looking for beyond hopefully at the very least college age. I don't think much of age beyond it being something that most of the world seems to like to think means something more than just a respresentation of time out of the womb.

I think the reality seems to be that once people get out of school, a lot of people don't really mature or grow a whole lot as people, they mostly just change what they get immature about, stop evolving and get tired/set in their ways. I've just never felt that I've ever been satisfied with the notion that there isn't more to learn about the world.

What we know about life and such does and should change over time, and I'd much rather adapt and keep up to date rather than just be stuck in the past constantly creating division by saying silly shit like "Younger people don't get it" and "Things were better when", etc. I just want to try my best to see things through other people's perspectives and hopefully that's your thing too.

That all being said, I don't want to waste anyone's time and I certainly hope I haven't wasted yours by having you read all of this. I'll just put forward that I'm not here to be gross, pervy, or sexualize anyone. I don't want to have a fling, a part time arrangement, and I'm single and not looking to cheat or really a lot of the stuff you come to expect on these kinds of dating subs, so hopefully we're on the same page.

If so, send me a message and please mention "Page Number (any number you like)" so that I know you actually are.
