Hello, ladies of Reddit! I hope this post finds you well.

About Me

I’m looking for a genuine connection with a woman who values honesty, respect, and meaningful conversation. Ultimately, I hope to build something long-term. I’m a down-to-earth guy with a good sense of humor and a genuine desire to take care of the people I care about. I believe in chivalry and respect, and I’m not into games or drama. What you see is what you get: straightforward, sincere, and dependable. I have a successful career, own my home, and am financially stable. I enjoy a good balance between going out and having adventures, as well as staying in for a quiet evening with a movie or show.

I have a variety of interests that keep me busy, including anything tech-related (it’s both my career and passion), sports, woodworking, hiking, camping, canoeing, and fitness. I also love to read - high fantasy (think Tolkien), sci-fi, and general fiction are my favorite genres. I used to enjoy board games and gaming, and I’d love to dive back into them sometime soon. I enjoy deep conversations and asking questions to truly get to know someone. If you're someone who enjoys that as well, we'll likely connect. My hope is that wee can take our time, build a friendship, and see where things go, and if the chemistry is right, I’m open to letting things unfold naturally.

Appearance-wise, I'm 5'8", 165-170 lbs. with a slim, fit body type, and I stay active by working out 4-5 days a week. I shave my head and wear a salt-and-pepper goatee.

About You

You’re in an earlier stage of life than I am, but age isn't as important to me as finding someone who's emotionally mature and genuinely interested in building a meaningful connection. While distance isn't a deal breaker, it would be great if meeting in person is a realistic possibility down the line if things go well. I’m drawn to women who are sweet, kind, caring, passionate, and curious about life. If a long phone call feels like it just flew by because we’re having fun talking, we’re on the same wavelength.

You’re someone who enjoys learning, and values personal growth. I admire women who have a positive approach to their health and well-being, and who enjoy being active in ways they love, whether that's hitting the gym, hiking, or something else that keeps them feeling good. I'm comfortable with social drinking is fine, but I'd appreciate someone who shares my preference for a smoke-free environment. If you're comfortable, I'd be happy to exchange some casual, SFW photos early on to put a face to our conversations.

Building a strong connection based on trust and communication is really important to me, so I’m looking for someone who values quality conversations. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, let’s talk and see where things go!
