Here we are. Holiday season is over. I drug my ass through it with a big smile and only some fumes in the tank. Work kicked my ass going into it and then I get smacked in the face with the cold garbage that's going around. So now I'm a week into being back at work, don't know why the hell I'm still doing it and look for every single kind of distraction that I can find. Before I go any further, let me assure you that I am not teetering on the edge or on the brink of a mid-life crisis...I'm pragmatic and am able to see the comedy in all of this.

So am I some sad shit looking to dump all over someone and commiserate on how terrible things are? Nope. Not at all.

I don't intend for this to come across as braggy, but life is actually pretty fucking great outside of the work nonsense. And even that isn't terrible. I've just been in the corporate world for too long and would like something genuine. Like I said above...maybe you can relate.

Home life is pretty solid too. I've worked hard for a long time to have the place and life I want to have. Family is good. Pets are great. I get to be the 41yr old big kid that I've always felt like. All my hobbies and interests are lined up and in I've got options for how to spend my downtime.

So what the hell? Why am I here? So that's kind of it. Something is missing.

Or at least it feels like it. It's not the flash in the pan need to get off with a stranger (I mean let's be honest, that pops up sometimes - I'm still a dude). I guess I'm looking for that unicorn - the sweet and cute lady that "gets it" and can relate even though things might be identical. I also would like to be that for someone. The guy you think is attractive that you look forward to talking to or can't wait to see a notification from. Mutual attraction is huge here - both conversationally and the old school superficial stuff.

So holy shit this is lengthy. I didn't really get into much about me and my vitals, but I'm a fairly handsome 41yr old dude. I'm pretty approachable and open. Very much into a good witty conversation and some intentional innuendo. I'm happy to provide a full resume and references upon request. Please inquire within.

And good luck!
