Disclaimer: All existing situations to stay status quo. Got it? Cool.

Anyhow, I'm 52 yr old dad of 2 good kids. Though that second child is definitely feral, especially since hitting middle school.

Yes I belong to gym. Yes, I'm there 4-5 times/week. Am I jacked? lol, noooo. Those days are long past, but I am HWP and getting more lean. (5'10", ~170-175)

In a perfect world, you would be close in all of those aspects. And if things turned out just exactly right you would be open to meeting. Some age gap is fine, but damn, if I'm old enough to be your dad, lets not.

In all the -ly tiers (PhysicalLY, EmotionalLY, etc) I'm more uplift than conflict. I *like* to see the wins. They're few and far between at times. So why not create some? I'll upvote a guy's posts here if they're in a similar age bracket just out of comradery and help someone out. Brat-tamer, I am not. And reciprocity? I live by that.

Voice messages? Love sending them.

Pics of your work outfit and a selfie in your fav comfy frumpy hoodie? Yes, please!

Goofy images of your pets? You bet.

And I'll respond in kind. I want to match the effort you put in. And the hope is that you'll match mine. Reciprocity. That's what I miss, regardless of topic. An effort to be supportive and cheer each other for the wins and console, as best you can online, for the losses.

You're a mom? GREAT ! You get it when in the midst of a conversation there's radio silence and then "Gotta scoot, son/daughter needs me." You get that sometimes after a long day of work and then being present for your kids that the best you can muster is a "good night sweetie. I miss you." And I don't feel offended at that. If anything, it's frustration that I can't take some of that burden off your shoulders.

Spicier stuff? Sure thing. That bedroom's so dead.... *chorus* How dead is it?? It's SO dead that... it can't even turn into a creature from The Last Of Us.

But that HAS to develop on it's own. Kinda like banter: just can't force it.

If you support the current administration, we simply will not get along. We vote our conscious. That same conscious is what also drives our personality and shapes how we see everything. #Onyourleft

And while I'm at it.. the world is mean and people are rotten. So if you're able to find just a smidge. A damn SLIVER of happiness somehow in some hobby or book or podcast or whatever, I'm not going to judge you for it. Own it. Enjoy it. TELL me about it. Hell, I'll probably even dip my toes in just to see if I'm missing out on something. I like watching the NFL and MLB just as much as I like watching an old Godzilla movie or going fishing. That is: every chance I can get.

I think that's enough off the top of my head. If any of that strikes a chord, c'mon in :)
