Good evening everyone!

Is it just me, or has the whole swiping left and right thing gotten completely stale and monotonous? It's like a popularity contest, when really it should be more of an interview of sorts! Dating apps only allow you to put so much info about yourself, and most people base how they feel about you based on how you look. I feel like its time for me to put some serious effort into trying to find someone on Reddit for a change after seeing so many success stories.

If you’re still reading at this point…Hi! I’m Brad, and much like the rest of you, I’m searching for that crazy little thing called love! I never planned on being single at 35, but here we are! I intend to make the very best of it. I've been through the ringer over the last 15 years or so, but I want to get back up on that horse and find my last relationship. I have a bunch of different interests and hobbies, and would love to find someone who shares some of them!

A bit about me:

• I’m 35 years old, born in September (Libra).
• On that note, if anyone is curious, yes, I know my Enneagram and Myers-Briggs. Feel free to reach out and ask if you want to know.
• I live in Georgia but I'm a Wisconsin native and a proud cheesehead. I’ve lived in a few different states all around the country
• If you’re looking at my pictures…Yes, that's actually a cheese tattoo on my arm. It’s Wisconsin done like cheese, designed by a former employee of mine.
• I have 3 dogs, 2 senior dogs and a 2 year old(Lets exchange some puppy pictures!).
• I'm a gearhead and love any/everything about cars, working on them, looking at them, driving them. I used to do track events/races in my car, and love to go for a mountain drive on some twisty roads.
• I like just about all music, but if you like reggae rock, lofi, electronic, rock, classic rock, oldies, older hip hop, or can introduce me to something new, we’ll probably get along very well.
• I really enjoy cooking, I love trying to cook new recipes.
• I’m a dork and a nerd. Yes I like video games and star wars and have a collection of toys from when I was a kid lol.
• Yes, I have a corporate job with tattoos and my ears gauged(just to 0 gauge so not that big).
• I’m big about energy and karma. I was raised jewish but haven’t practiced in about 15 years.
• I’m very much glass half full. I believe there’s a bright side to just about everything in life.

I’m fun loving and love to make people laugh and smile. Fun can be found everywhere. I haven’t done my job for the day unless I’ve made at least one person laugh.

• Traveling is one of my favorite things, and I’m all for hopping on a plane or going on road trips.
• I love to play video games, and play a wide variety. Legend of Zelda is my favorite of all time. I would love to have someone to cuddle up with and some play some video games!
• I enjoy hiking and kayaking.
• I’ve always called a great guy or the nice guy, which is a blessing and a curse. It doesn’t seem like too many women out there still appreciate an old school gentleman type. Somebody please prove that wrong!!!
• I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I will give a stranger the shirt off my back.

Here's a few pictures of me for reference:

A bit about what I’m looking for:

• I'd like to find someone who believes in having fun in life and is glass half full!
• Someone who likes to go on random adventures and likes to travel.
• Someone who can appreciate a guy who knows how to be respectful and treat a woman correctly, a guy who isn’t a complete horn-ball trying to get into the pants of anything with two legs.
• I'm not too picky on where you live, that's what planes, trains and automobiles are for, and I like to travel!
• I don't mind if you have kids, just know I do not have any of my own, but not for lack of wanting them. I’m at the point in my life where if I end up having kids of my own, it’d be great, but if not that’s okay too. I had great role models for parents/step-parents so I can definitely fill the role someday(hopefully?)!
• It would be nice to share a few hobbies together, but I know it's damn near impossible to have all the same hobbies.

Again, If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading all the way through. Hoping this catches someone's eye and get some positive chats and a genuine connection. Have a great day/evening and talk to you soon!
