I've heard it said that online dating for men is like dying of thirst in the desert. And for women, it's like dying of thirst in the swamp... Too much, too toxic, and too many snakes. With one eye. Yikes.

So I find myself in a paradox - on one hand, empathising with women being overwhelmed by dm's filled with "Hey" or unrequested weiners, whilst simultaneously adding to the overwhelming pile. Damned if I do and don't. Sorry about that, ladies.

Let me shoot straight in the interests of brevity and clarity. I'm married, with four beautiful children who I'm close to, and I'm a highschool teacher. So... I've been extensively familiarised with emotions, issues, and empathy. I'm short, I'm a relatively adjusted and stable guy who finds himself in an unfulfilling situation with few options. I want to make someone's life better intellectually, emotionally, and yes, sexually.

I'd love to meet a woman who values IQ, EQ, and the Oxford comma. I'll buy you champagne and we can discuss Aaron Sorkin, GOB Bluth, David Bowie, Quentin Tarantino, and Jim Henson.

If any of that sparks your curiosity, then feel free to reach out. If the idea of that wrapped up in a suit-wearing 6'2", half British, salt and pepper package is even more appealing... Then reach out faster.
