New to posting on this sub, but not a first timer in this 'lifestyle'.

As with most everyone else, looking for a connection here. The banter, conversations, support, and maybe even the more intimate in time. Not trying to rush anything, or get off and go. Also not trying to change situations in the long run.

I'm a 40 year old married guy residing in the Midwest (CST). 6'3", 225 lbs, hair is all there and still mostly brown, but the gray is well on it's way. Beard is trimmed up for now, which may change over the winter. Green eyes, more than a couple tattoos, and giant hands which weirdly get commented on a lot. It's also flannel season, so think lumberjack. Down to swap pics sooner rather than later, but not needed right off the bat.

Got the good career thing going, plus own a small business. 2 nearly grown children. Won't list a ton of hobbies and interests, but plants and fungi are near the top, followed by DIY projects, spending lots of time outdoors, learning new things, and much more which you can find out about later. Fond of a wide range of music, but I'm a metalhead at heart. Politics isn't my favorite conversation topic, just know I'm fairly left and irreligious. Not really much of a sports fan. Bit of a weirdo to some, but generally a kind, thoughtful person, just may not appear that way at first glance.

I don't really have a type per se. I've found all sorts of people attractive, so it's more of a 'I know it when I see it thing'. Short, tall, slim, thick, long hair, bald, girly-girl, lumberjane, it can all catch my eye.

So, if any of this piques your interest, you want to chat, bullshit, commiserate, and get to know each other, shoot me a chat. Don't need constant contact of course, only what makes sense with schedules, obligations, and whatnot. One word replies definitely turn me off though.
