Hello Reddit!

I’m a dad in my mid 40s. Nobody tells you that the years get shorter after 30 do they?... *shakes head*

I enjoy doing creative things (writing, drawing, woodworking...) but it has been a while since I have had a good project to keep me busy. I miss it.

My favorite t-shirt says “Sawdust is Man Glitter.” Admittedly, I need a new one as I got wood glue on it a few projects ago and it's now been relegated by my daughters to a "house shirt."

Come on.... you know you have house shirts. Haha.

I have my own company and work behind a desk most of my days so I have time to pop in and see some of your stories. I would love to lend an ear to anyone and maybe share some downtime with someone. I am married, so not looking for romantic entanglements but being completely candid, I have learned that I don’t shy from flirtatious conversation and enjoy sexy banter. I’m not looking to cheat, but I am a man and unapologetic about that. I look, my wife doesn’t see harm in that. If turned on, my wife reaps the benefit just as I do when she has a likewise day. Just trying to make the day more bearable. Hopefully that doesn’t make me too much of a jerk in people’s eyes, just trying to be as upfront as possible to avoid misunderstandings. Hope that can be appreciated.

I would love to create a friendship that lasts more than a few days. Create a connection where you feel valued and I in kind, a place where you can be yourself.

Your interests don’t have to be my interest as long as you can write about yours and tell me what you like about them. I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but a one sentence, or a one word message is likely to be ignored. A good or bad impression is in the effort made.

Thank you for reading this. I hope at least one person made it this far. If you did and would like to chat, please let me know a little bit about yourself and what of this entry stood out to you.

Thank you for reading this. I hope you have an amazing day!
