Half way through 2024 and I am still here, looking, wondering why I am doing this and why I am still in my IRL situation as well. Wouldn't life just be easier if I finally started living the life that I want to live without all of the hiding and running around? Of course it would, but that's not the reality...so HERE I am….

I turn 50 this year (I can't believe I am going to be that old) and although my mind and spirit still think I am in my 30's by body is starting to feel the age. Don't get me wrong, I still work out daily and can actually lift more weight now than I could when I was in my 30's (mainly because I didn't go to the gym back then) but every time I am done with the gym but dad bod screams at me "What the F were you thinking?"

Surely there is a normal woman out there (Movie quote time - "There is a woman out there and don't call me Shirley") that is looking for a guy that can carry on a conversation about almost anything. I work in IT but can build a house with my bare hands and turn around and make you some of the best smoked meats or pastries you have ever tried. I am random and I ramble. I watch sports, I read and I will even watch a musical or ROM/COM if you ask me to.

I am looking for someone that wants to have that "first date" feeling again. Someone that gets excited and smiles randomly when they see a notification that a message came in. Someone that wants to play the 20 question game, Truth or Dare and eventually other things. I have been told I am distinguished looking and handsome by some and others stop talking to me as soon as they see my picture. Maybe I am Quasimodo, maybe I have a face for radio, maybe...just maybe, I am the "Brad Pitt" of your nightmares...either way, I guarantee that you won't be bored once we break the ice and start talking.

So, if you have read this far, that means I kept your attention long enough, hit me up, and take a chance and who knows...we could at least have fun conversations about other Redditors and all of the struggles that we have seen out there.
