44 year old queer veteran seeking younger companion

Hey there, 44 year old in the DC area seeking authentic connections with a younger guy(~23-30 or so? but age truly is just a number). Recently relocated and established professional with a home, good job, and adorable doggy 😊. Looking to take things slowly, but would definitely like to find the right person.

I'm certainly seeking somebody to whom I am sexually attracted, but also intellectually and emotionally. I have two advanced degrees in Social Sciences, consider myself Buddhist leaning in my beliefs, and very leftist (yes, I recognize the possible cognitive dissonance of my military service and ideologies).

Ideally looking for somebody who is kind, passionate, able to hold a decent conversation, and is interested in travel, cuddling to Star Trek, and all the good things life has.

If you message me or reply, please send a pic of you feel comfortable (I'll reciprocate) tell me a little about yourself and also your favorite Star Trek series. Promise I won't judge!

Please be sincere about connecting and possibly meeting. It's a small world these days and I'm learning that meaningful relationships are worth investment.
