Hey there ;) Glad that piqued your interest...

Who I am:

I'm a 42yo, gay (cis)man. I am 5'10, 185 lbs, slimly muscular, bearded. I'd say I have a cute nerd kinda vibe. I have meaningful work that I consider a calling, a fulfilling community of colleagues, and a great relationship with myself. I have several true friends that now live in other cities/states, and a smaller handful of close friends who live locally... and I'm looking to expand my circle. Hence the curious bostonr4r post.

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for gay or bi men, approx. age 32-55, who are local to the area and relatively settled. (But hey, if you're straight and have read this far, we might click). I'm especially open to other confidently and happily single guys, but also open to partnered folks. I tend to connect with other men who are emotionally mature and self-aware, and interested in the emotional intimacy that real friendships are built on. So, more than activity partners. As a single person (and not looking to change that) I would love more platonic physical intimacy if it's a natural expression of a connection and not the main reason for the meetup. Men don't really touch each other enough, and a lot of us could use more of it.

Sidebar: I know. This is bostonr4r. I've just, well, had a lot of sex in my life! A lot of it quite amazing, actually. This post is about the parts of life that are not sex, since that's not what I'm looking for here. I hope you can respect that! If that's not you, godspeed & go get you some dick/ass/etc.

What I am into:

I love creating art, exploring independent music & film, & reading novels, poetry, & creative nonfiction. Avid museum-goer. If you are very into some niche geeky thing and are good at explaining it, I get enthralled by most human knowledge. I love spending time in the woods. I love weightlifting and hit the gym 3-4 times a week. I love deep-talk with a good buddy over a beer, sharing all the inside feels on the outside.

My close friends would probably say I am:

fiercely loyal once I commit to another person; a deep and compassionate listener; a very funny and kinda eccentric fellow with the folks I trust; and that being friends with me can open new worlds in the midst of ordinary life.

OK, that was long. If you are still reading, then I'd say you should go ahead and DM me!
