I am unashamedly looking for my flavor of weird and unique. I've been told that I'm not everyone's cup of tea but maybe I'm someone's shot of whiskey. I'm not looking for another revolving door hi and goodbye. I want to get to know you and flirt with the depths of your mind and soul. I'm searching for someone with substance who is looking for more than a surface level connection. I'm willing hold true to the hope that nice guys don't finish last if you don't.

About me: I'm a 34-year-old married well-educated professional. A perfect word to describe me would be sapiosexual (attracted to intelligence). Think of me as a nerdy cowboy. Physically, I am 6' tall and have a terrific beard. I am a bigger man, but, let's face it, big men cuddle better and you don't have to worry about me being kidnapped. I have a passion for cooking which includes a knack for Texas BBQ and an excellence for Italian cuisine. Tell me your favorite meal, and I might just make it for you. I'm well-read, love diverse genres, and am fluent in nerd and geek culture (Trekkies to the front of the line). I like to think I'm hilarious and have many dad jokes in my dad-a-base. I love to laugh! Tell me your favorite joke! And for those who care I'm snipped.

My hope: Let's share life's joys, delve into our thoughts, and be the missing piece in each other's lives. Friendship is the most important thing. Make me think, make me laugh, and the rest will fall into place.

My promises: Your safety is paramount; discretion is my top priority. I take OPSEC seriously. I'm available beyond 9-5 and am willing to make you a priority while respecting your schedule. I’m happy to trade pictures whenever you like if that's a priority to you on an app that is safe to do so.

If you've made it this far, then I salute you. Long posts aren't for everyone but I love to give and receive excellent effort.
