I’m a married guy in my 40s, a dad of two, and while I’ve mastered the art of wrangling kids and pretending to understand TikTok dances, my love life could use a little… spice. (And no, I’m not talking about my newfound hobby of baking—though I do make a mean pizza dough)

I’m looking for a genuine connection with someone who gets that life is complicated but still wants to laugh, flirt, and maybe share a few stolen moments of joy.

About me:

• 5’10”, 175lbs, with a full head of salt-and-pepper hair (I like to think of it as “distinguished,” but my kids call it “old”).
• Stable career, Seattle area. I’m the guy who can fix a leaky faucet and quote The Matrix in the same breath.
• Love the outdoors—biking, pickleball, and hiking.
• Big sci-fi nerd, board game enthusiast, and always up for a deep conversation about books and life. Can't wait to discuss Three World Problem with you.
• Drug- and disease-free, don’t drink but will happily join you for coffee, dessert, or a debate about the blue vs red pill.
• Thoughtful, kind, and the kind of guy who remembers your favorite book and brings it up in conversation six months later.

What I’m looking for:

• A married woman, ideally with kids, close to my age (within 2 hours of Seattle).
• A friend first, with an emotional connection that could grow into something more. Let’s start with great conversations and see where it goes.
• Someone who values honesty, respect, and exclusivity. No games, no flaking—just two people who know what they want and are willing to give it a shot.
• Bonus points if you can beat me in the game of Risk (my current favorite).

If you’re looking for someone who’s equal parts thoughtful, playful, and just a little bit nerdy, let’s chat. I’m happy to swap pics early on so we don’t waste each other’s time—because let’s face it, life’s too short for bad matches and under/over cooked pizza.
