Well I guess I am here now. Hi. I am John. I am 42 and suddenly have found myself living mostly alone for the first time in my life. Nice to meet you. I am semi-recently divorced. The end of my relationship can best be described as relatively-happy-marriage to oh-my-god-you-are-doing-what-with-who-and-for-how-long? It's a whole story that we can get into if you'd like but too much, and probably too identifying, to do in public. I have two kids. Girls aged 11 and 13. They are the best and apart from a few long stretches, they spend about half their time with me. Yes it is complicated for them. But I think they are doing ok. At least better than I'd expect. They are my everything.

I work in IT but I am not really an IT guy. I spend most of my time on business strategy using digital products. I know I know... it's all too sexy. I am outgoing and funny. At least my kids say I am. And they have well formed sense of humors. I am a big guy, 6'3" and 240. I am athletic or at least I was in a past life. I played baseball in college and even got drafted but ultimately never played any professional ball because my knees are more fucked than the knees of any 42 year old that doesn't do that crazy Russian dancing. Now-a-days I stay active by obsessively marching my dog around hiking trails.

You may be wondering what a major catch like me (big, old, divorced, kids, emotional baggage, fucked knees) is doing slumming it here on reddit. Well two things, first I have no shame. Second, I've had some minor success in the past meeting someone on here but this would be the first time I have posted myself. I am optimistic that my brand of self deprecation and love of tiring our four legged creatures would spark something in the right person. And if all else fails maybe we can just make fun of our bosses together. That's always fun. Ok bye.
