Hello, wonderful world of OA. This will probably be one of the most honest posts you'll read on here. Considering none of us are really that honest if we're part of this community. I'm just tired of the liars you meet on here who you've spent months of talking to, only to find out they've been lying the whole time. I'm tired of the catfishers and scammers trolling the sub looking for who knows what. I know you'll probably lie about your first name, and that's ok, I get it. I feel a little trust needs to be built before anything else. I'm not looking to share pictures right off the bat either, and I won't do it on this site. I'm too old for all the games, but young enough to have fun. That's all I'm looking for. Someone 40 who's in for the long haul and wants to have fun. I have had some very successful OAs. I'm talking years long. So, I know how to make this work while knowing how this works at the same time. Just be real and have some sort of personality. Be willing to have fun and be open to catching feelings. If you choose to answer, tell me a little something about you that reassures me that I'm dealing with a real person. I won't respond if you don't pique my interest, and guess what? It won't bother me if I don't. I'm not being arrogant. I just know what I want, and I have plenty of time to wait for the right person. I want someone who has time for this. A couple of messages a day is not going to cut it. Communication is key in this. I am already in a relationship now with zero communication and a dead bedroom to boot. There needs to be plenty of it for something like this to work.

Be open for anything from texting to voice calls to video time. Talk about whatever tickles our fancy, laugh until we cry, and then laugh some more. Have deep, meaningful conversations and sexy intimate conversations when we get to that point. There has to be trust, though. I don't just drop my pants for anyone.😁 I'm a caring guy and very empathetic. Probably too much sometimes. I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, but I can hold up my end of the conversation on most topics. I used to be a beer guy but have learned to appreciate a good whiskey. Plus, I don't have to drink as much of it, and it cuts down on the calories. It's all about the calories at this age.

I know after reading all that you're probably like, this guy sounds amazing! I wonder what he looks like! I'll get it out of the way now. I'm a bald guy, but I wear it well. I have gotten some really nice compliments, but some people may just be trying to be nice. Thank you nice people! I like to receive compliments, and I will also compliment you as well. I exercise regularly and would say I am in decent shape. I'm a pretty confident guy, but I know my limitations. You won't see me chasing down Heather Locklear. Although at her age now, I may have a chance. Looks definitely plays a part in something like this. I know it shouldn't, but it's always nice to know the person on the other end has it going on. I won't lie and say it doesn't matter, but I'm not asking for you to be Elizabeth Hurley either. As long as you feel that you're attractiv and are confident in your own appearance, then you'll be perfect for me. In fact, why haven't you already answered me? Oh, I know, it's because I put you to sleep with this lon, drawn-out ad. Ok, I'm going to give my thumbs a break and watch my inbox explode with all of the replies. I hope to hear from you soon.
