And despite my outward demeanor to the contrary, I often feel meaner and more selfish than I want to be. I cling to lofty and humanitarian ideals, profess them loudly for all to hear, and feel like a fraud for my well-guarded self-centeredness. I want to be a good person, often perform the deeds that signal to others I am a good person, all the while my selfish desires propelling the trajectory of my inner world.

I know what you're thinking. "Wow! This guy sounds fun!" 😏 The truth is, I am fun. And engaging. Thoughtful, witty, compassionate, and sensitive. I want to share all of those aspects of myself with someone. But I also crave honesty and vulnerable self-awareness. I want someone who can acknowledge their flaws and the inherent selfishness of seeking an affair. Let's cut the bullshit. For whatever else we may be, whatever good and caring person we possess, right beside it is a greedy devil. Can you accept that? I can.

I'm engaged and live with my partner, and dedicated to being here for her and the life we have chosen together. It isn't an unhappy relationship, but it is lacking in meeting my emotional and romantic needs. We can talk more about my situation (and yours) if we find some sort of connection.

I'm white, 5'11", active and fit. I am told often that I am attractive, but let's be real - only you can decide if that's true for you once we exchange photos (which I prefer to do early on). I don't need you to have that, "Holy fuck... Holy fucking fuck," body that drove Adam Levine insane (please know the reference 🙏 😭), but I do expect you to be someone who takes care and pride in their appearance.

I have modest artistic talents, and I hope it's something we can connect over, whether you also fancy yourself as a creative or simply have a particular appreciation for music, visual arts, or literature. I love sharp satire and engaging in witty, playful, and flirty banter. I like to tease and be teased, and ultimately am a highly affectionate soul seeking the same.

An online relationship is a good start, but I am open to meeting in person eventually, time and distance allowing.

Care to chat and see where it goes?
