My hiatus from this sub has ended even though I told myself that I wouldn't be back and definitely wasn't going to post again. Here we are.

The abbreviated summary of myself is: 37, married, dad (and cat dad), introverted lover of documentaries and music.

I am spectacled and occasionally mustached but physically incapable of growing a beard (thanks dad). I would describe myself as someone who exercises for the health benefits but is not passionate about fitness and loves tacos. I have a very laid back demeanor and sort of go with the flow unless I feel like there is a need to deviate. I tend to not let little things really get to me. At my core I am introverted and enjoy being home the most but I will and do go out socially if I feel like it is worth the energy expenditure.

As for hobbies, I am a big fan of music. Though I have my own genre of preference (it wasn't just a phase) I can also enjoy other genres of music as well especially in the live setting. Something about live music makes it much more enjoyable even if it isn't a genre that I would normally listen to. I also play bass in my free time, usually just as a bedroom musician but occasionally I get to play with others and that is a lot of fun. I also really enjoy documentaries, of the historical (think Ken Burns/PBS stuff) and true crime variety mostly. I also have a slate of comfort shows that I also enjoy while I actively avoid new recommendations. I don't enjoy a ton of sports but I am really into baseball and I will play the occasional video game from time to time as well.

I'm ideally looking for someone who is looking to fill the void that likely exists in our lives and feel those happy emotions that come with connecting with someone again. We all have our reasons for being here and while I am not constantly miserable at home, my situation is not something that has made me feel important. So I am looking to feel important to someone again, feel like someone wants to know about me and is looking forward to talking to me. I don't want to put a ton of pressure on something right off the bat either and enjoy the natural progression that comes with connecting with someone. I understand that life exist and takes priority outside of this but when we do talk I hope that there mutual effort. I work from home so I have plenty of time to talk but I do not expect anyone to be available all the time.

I don't have any one "type" of person or a list of things that I am looking for. I have been attracted to many different women for many different reasons and while I understand that physical attraction is important I have always been more attracted to the mental connection. I do have some preferences that seem to make things easier. Ideally you are 30-50, married with kid(s) just for a easier mutual understanding. I am in PST and I know that time zones can be tricky but if it works I'm not really worried about that.

This has gone on much longer than I anticipated but if you read all that and feel like we would be a good match feel free to send me a chat. Looking forward to hearing from you!
