Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free." Gotta love a Shawshank quote, right?

TL:DR; I want to be your songbird. I want to help you feel free from whatever cage that binds you. I want to quell and quench your yearnings. I want to meet you where you and reintroduce you to the sky so I can be in awe of your beauty as we soar the winds together.

About me: I'm 6'2" 225 lbs I was a size 32 waist in high school, I'm a size 34 now. I live in SouthEast US. Obligatory I've been hitched for over 15 years now. We do life fairly well together but closeness has been lacking for quite some time. If you want to commiserate and chat about that, great; if you never want to hear about her, that's fine too. NLTCS (not looking to change situations. Can we put this in an acronym finally?)
I'm often told I'm a handsome looking guy (not just on reddit) I give off nice guy vibes. I'm the kind of guy who will make your kiddo laugh in the cart at the grocery store while you smile along too. My smile apparently makes a bi guy friend of mine flummoxed, but I get the most compliments on my eyes.
I have kids, and I love being their dad. They will always take precedence. If you're into hearing stories about a loving doting father who will tickle and wrestle his kids and then get up and make them dinner, I'm your guy. While I am active with them, I will have moments while I can chat while they're awake, but the longer for chat sessions will be evenings or during the work day. I'm happy to give Good Morning and Good Night messages and won't disappear completely during weekend days.
I've lived in different parts of the Eastern and Central time zones. I've traveled to a bunch of countries in Europe, but Italy has my heart. I love traveling and gaining precious perspective.
I have a wide variety of interest and experiences. Chances are we'll find common ground somewhere if you value going beyond small talk and want to create a deeper connection. However, most nights after the kids go to sleep, my options of my hobbies are limited. Given that, I play video games. I'm into PVE and coop games, and desperate to find a partner to play with. Even if we don't hit it off on the romantic front, I still enjoy the company of women more than men. I find first person shooters and sports games boring after a while. Give me a good RPG where they show and don't tell the story with great character development everyday of the week. Give me an open world or survival game where we work together. If you want to pursue gaming with me, I play on PC almost exclusively. Gaming with me is NOT a requirement!

I do eventually want to get to sexting and sharing some fun video chats and the like, but it's a slow burn. I will flirt with that line from time to time to see where we stand. I want to make sure, while we're building a connection, I'm not boring you if you're expecting something more romantic without being overtly sexual.

I want to connect with you. That's my main goal. The connection means everything when we start to share more intimate time and details with each other. It is nothing without connection desire and passion.

I find a wide variety of women attractive from all kinds of backgrounds, ethnicity, and body types. There are some combination of those I'm into more than others, but there isn't a hard fast green or red light. Attraction is important, but I'm uninterested in a Victory Secret model. I'd likely have as much in common with you as a giraffe passing through my living room. Give me the girl next door every day of the week. Give me woman with a story and some scars that betray a beautiful strength from within. Give me a woman with some flaws I can connect with and a past that isn't rosy but you made it happen anyways. I want to commiserate and shine with you. If you have to censor and dumb yourself down for guys, please, unfurl your wings and fly with me. Let's depart from these bars and walls even if we are only dreaming the same wondrous dream together.
