Well hello there. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

I am 49 years of age, a writer by trade. A journalist, more specifically. I drink more coffee than I should. Soccer is my sport of choice – I’ll definitely take you to a Forward Madison game next season – and hiking is my preferred form of exercise. I put in a couple miles this morning, in fact. I almost always have a podcast in my ear, except when I’m writing.

My marriage is happy but non-sexual, and not particularly intimate, and obviously can’t offer what a beautiful young woman like you can offer. Which, by the way, is much more than unblemished skin and a tight body – both of which I also appreciate. I simply adore the role of caretaker and mentor. I want to offer you life advice, guide your decision making, even help with your homework, if you're still in school. I’m not rich enough to be a sugar daddy (did I mention I’m a journalist?) but I’ll gladly help you with gas or groceries now and then.

While an emotional connection makes everything better, I will not bring you drama. I just need a little more intimacy, more physical touch, more personal connection, more butterflies. Something new, something fun, something carefree. I want you to have a very special place in my life.

I am dark and handsome but not tall. About 5’6”, shaved hair, salt & pepper beard (more salt than pepper lately, to be honest), dad bod (with about 20 extra pounds that I’m working to lose). Bright blue eyes and soft, full lips. I am a creative and attentive friend and lover. Happy to share photos once we're a little bit acquainted.

I am based in Madison but also cover the Fox Cities and Green Bay, so I’m up there for a couple days at least once or twice a month. I’d love to chat and flirt by text or your favorite chat app, talk on the phone, maybe even video chat … get each other all jittery and nervous … then buy you a drink to take the edge off the nerves … and then ... well, we’ll see.

What about you? Ideally you’re intelligent; you’re a little witty; you’re flirtatious; you’re willing to communicate pretty openly. Preference given to college students or recent graduates who have their own place to spend our alone time. (I do have access to an apartment in the suburbs for the next month or so, and would take the right girl to a hotel regularly if necessary.) If you’ve read this far, I’d like to know you. I prefer chat, but Reddit chat seems to be a bit wonky lately so send me a message also, if you’re so inclined. Talk to you soon, I hope.
