I'm just a normal married guy in the NYC Metro area, looking to strike up a genuine connection with someone local (or online if the chemistry is there). I'm handsome (think full head of hair, cute smile with a dimple, scruffy bear) and I take good care of my body (I'm not a bodybuilder but I work hard to avoid a dad bod). I'm well-educated and work in private equity.

Working from the comfort of home has its perks, including the flexibility to chat during those brief pauses between emails, meetings, and other daily tasks. Sending selfies, chatting about the day, sending memes or funny videos. But it can also be lonely, especially for someone that is very outgoing and seeks human connection, but isn't getting so much of that in their marriage.

I'm on the lookout for a like-minded individual who shares my passion for meaningful, ongoing conversations that can cover a broad array of topics – from the mundane to the extraordinary. While Reddit's chat feature is handy, I'm hoping to transition to Telegram if we click and want to get to know each other better. Ideally, it would be incredible to connect with someone local, with whom I can eventually share a casual coffee or a drink.

As for my interests, in my free time I enjoy exercising, binging the latest TV show a friend recommended, trying out new coffeeshops or cocktails, and going to parks to people-watch. I enjoy shooting the shit and also deep conversations about life and its meaning.

If you've made it this far, congratulations! You're already a step closer to sparking a fantastic conversation with me. Drop me a chat and introduce yourself – perhaps your age and location, and to keep things fun, share something you've always dreamed of doing but haven't yet had the chance to.

Can't wait to connect and delve into exciting conversations together!
