I’m looking for someone who understands the primal connection between a man and a women where two can be trusting and open with each other, both understanding that passion shared physically also translates to a higher intimacy and kindness between a man and a woman. Trust is earned and respect is naturally a part of any connection.

I’m looking for someone who can and enjoys connecting on a higher level. Intellectually and physically. This isn’t something that I’m an expert in - spoiler alert - it’s something we would create together.

Before considering BDSM, I’m looking for someone who shares similar values. I'm into health and exercise. I'm smart and driven, but don't take myself nor life too seriously outside of the things meant to be taken seriously. I'm confident yet kind and sweet - things also important to me in a woman. I am attracted by good conversation and wit and laughter shared between two partners.

I’m looking for FWB but nothing too heavy right now. Close but NSA initially. I’m working towards impending divorce proceedings. I’m interested in long term if short term works out. I’m also looking for one person who is also looking for one person. I’m clean and you must be too.

Sexually, I have an open mind especially to understand for some, what is needed to calm our minds so we. can focus on each other.

I have a sense of humor, am well educated, graduated from a good B school and am at a crossroads in my life so I'm transitioning from overly busy to something else. I’m looking for someone who is also interested in stealing some time away to enjoy life a bit more, have interesting conversations and express ourselves physically if we get to that point.

I workout, lift heavy weights with a trainer and have a tight diet. Sure there's some dadbod there but overall, I'm fit and tall and strong. I have a full head of hair, deep blue eyes and a warm smile. I'm wholesome at my core - but what does that say about the edges? I believe kissing is one of the most intimate acts between a man and a woman and amazing things can start with the right kiss. I believe strong intimacy comes from first establishing trust and openness between two people.

I'm not in a rush. A connection is important. We need to be able to laugh together first.

Please send a note and include - because it’s reddit - your age, single/married status and location. I look forward to learning more about you.
