Let’s be real. 98% of these ads tell you nothing meaningful and you have no idea if someone actually matches with you beyond a location or time zone. Generic platitudes and certainly no controversial opinions. Trying to cast a wide net. Fuck. That. I’m looking for one real thing and if it’s you, you’ll know. I want to be off Reddit and off the Telegram and Discord groups. Not you? Best of luck on your search!

If you’re not within 2 hours of Atlanta (points for closer), sorry. Not gonna work. I want to see you often irl. Frequent travelers to Atlanta might work.

If you’re tethered to home through young kids, work or SO, sorry. See above - I want to see you in real life and ideally even travel with you.

If you think old men should have a say in women’s reproductive autonomy, fuck right off. Same if you think gun violence is solved by more guns and thoughts and prayers.

Made it this far? Wooooo! Now the fun parts. I work from home and only have hairy children. I travel very often for work. Translated: I have the time, ability and cover story to see you often. Well traveled and well read. Translated: I understand a lot of cultures and viewpoints beyond my own. I’m open minded (but have strong convictions about my core values). I take a lot of pride in good conversation and absolutely love peeling back the layers of what makes interesting people tick. Huge foodie with an adventurous palate.

Growth minded and driven. Translated: I’m far from a finished product. I have flaws and try to be honest with myself about them. I talk to a therapist weekly and it keeps me honest about my bullshit and what I need to work on. I believe I am in charge of my emotions and outcomes and am not sitting around waiting for anything to be done for me.

Strong believer of everything in balance. Translated: work hard at my job, but not defined by it. Work hard in the gym (and really hope you take care of yourself, too), but love a great meal and a good cocktail. Massive believer in the power of mindset, but also a massive believer that we should explore all of the mind expanding things mother nature has given us to see new perspectives.

Coffee addict and pets all the dogs. Translated: well, if you don’t understand why this one is awesome, I can’t help you and we probably aren’t a match.

If you’ve made it this far, I’d be super excited to talk to you. Don’t let us both down with “hey”. Tell me something you worked really hard for recently and why you were proud of it. Can’t wait to hear from you!
