Instead of taking the traditional online dating tact of prancing out here and puffing my chest and feathers out and dancing like you see exotic birds do, I thought I’d take a more laid back approach and just portray myself here….as I really see myself. Cut through the BS, so to speak.
Face it, most of the time, you get a sales pitch here, and when you finally meet, you find that the glossy sheen doesn’t really match the sales pitch. So I have decided to represent myself here, MINUS the glossy sheen. But once that glossy sheen has been punctured, it’s just me, sheen-less. However, I’ve decided there’s still something here. Something worthwhile for the right woman. It may take awhile to find someone here, but I know there’s someone out there for me. Once deconstructed…maybe I’m not the sexiest, maybe not the most fire breathing hunk of masculinity, maybe not the complex, tortured, yet irresistibly sexually magnetic character starring in romance novels, maybe not….well, you get the idea. But still….there’s something here. Maybe worth getting to know a little.
So here we go. Who am I?...that is, the deconstructed version? Yeah, I’m in a LTR. But like many here, looking for a bit more. Dead bedroom? Maybe, but I see it as a normal LTR. That is….the sex and romance usually dies…human nature…but we stay together as friends. Sit in separate recliners every night watching TV. Separate beds. Back in the day, this wasn’t called a “dead bedroom”….it was just….marriage. Right? And there are plenty of advantages and positives to sticking through this stage, really. A lifetime of experiences and memories. Family ties. The comfort of a shared home. And of course, as the physical entanglement waned, the financial entanglement grew. And who really wants to be single again at 60 ?
But I digress.
6’ tall, thin, somewhat over the hill, but used to be handsome, still somewhat geeky, somewhat cerebral, but funny, a bit paranoid about doing this (even with some experience), sexually pretty vanilla, friendly, more into the connection and fun vs dominating you or demonstrating I’m the bellowing alpha male silverback gorilla. Just hoping for some fleeting connecting and laughing about life and the situation we’ve found ourselves in. Good conversationalist about sports, business, music, pets, life in general.

Healthy, gym rat, good body for my age, most of my hair, short ponytail, clean shaven, green eyes, most of my teeth. (Will be getting an implant soon. No, not penile, but dental.) Ugh. Buttt….. this is painful to reveal…in the spirit of presenting myself minus the glossy marketing sheen, I will also be totally up front, and reveal my “up front” is pharmacologically enhanced so for those of you who would have a concern about a guy my age…… that shouldn’t be a problem.
Not afraid of something long term if we really click. Been there, done that, so I’m not afraid of that. At my age, the revolving door has definitely run out of lubricant, so have little interest these days in quick hits. At the same time….I wish to avoid something emotionally heavy. Someone who’s reasonably happy and stable at home, yet wishes to “outsource” certain fun aspects…would be a perfect fit. Flirty, filthy texting, making you smile and interrupting your business meeting or making you smile and interrupting your grocery shopping or kids’ soccer match that day. Punctuated with a few secret trysts a month in a hotel room basically. Just being honest. That’s all I have the time and freedom for. Daytime availability, weekdays. And hopefully you're in or near the NW burbs.
So if you think you could be interested, hit me back!!
