This is really a conversation post. You can look at my post history to see the kind of thing that I am into, but right now...recently...I've felt like I have wanted something else. I'm feeling like I want to know someone, and for them to know me.

So I am a mid-50s guy. I have blue eyes, a salt and pepper beard, and a deep voice. But the first thing I am looking for is not sex. Yeah, I am looking for sex. But it's not the only thing. I've marked this as conversation because I want to try to know each other...I get it, this is a sketchy place, so I'm not asking for real identity or anything like that.

Instead, I am asking for real you (appropriately hidden). Maybe you want a mentor. Maybe you want a father figure. I can be that. I am looking for someone who is authentic with me. And if we connect? That would be great. And that will likely lead to sexy talk. But what is it I would like to talk about? You...what you like (not just sexually), what your passions are (not just sexually)...And I want to share those things with you. In short, I'd like us to discuss ourselves. I think we can chat and get to know one another without revealing too much--I have with others. Because in my experience, the hottest sex comes with knowledge. What I want is to know another person, and a person who wants to know me. Age is not an issue. I'm straight. I am in the Eastern Time Zone of the US. You don't need to be, but if you are on the opposite side of the world, this probably won't work. Everything else is open.

IDK...maybe this is better on some other sub. But I like this community. So I thourght I would try. If you are interested, send me a message and ask me a question...and answer this one: what is your favorite wild animal?
