These ads are tough because you read them and think, "how the fuck do I respond to that?" So, how about this, tell me the thing you're most looking forward to in 2023 and let's start the conversation there!

It seems to me that the big problem most of these situations have is distrust and bad communication. So, let's do exactly the opposite of that and see how that turns out!

OPSEC is important and I'm not expecting total honesty on day one, but let's work on getting there, here I'll start: I'm only 5'9". I think there was a time I would have said I was 5'10" because somehow that's better? Is it because the inches are in double digits? I dunno, but anyway I'm not one of the many "6 foot plus" guys on here 🙄.

My other details probably matter, so: I have dark hair, blue eyes, a beard and I'm probably a mix between a dad bod and linebacker build. Can't picture that? Basically I work out but then I eat pizza and burgers so washboard abs will always elude me.

Here's another thing, I'm married (shocking, huh?) with kids. We're good friends and good coparents, but over the years the passion and intimacy have slowly crept away.

Communication is something I've been working on and I need someone who is looking for good communication back and forth. I won't be perfect, and I don't expect you to be either. But effort is key and having compassion and understand of the other person's.

I work and live south of Boston, location is important but not necessarily a deal breaker. I am looking for someone who is available to meet and have something in real life. Soon enough the weather will be nicer and it'll be the perfect time to break out of the winter doldrums.

I tend to be pretty available throughout the day and night for texting (through Telegram) and talking. I don't expect messages to be purely sexual, that gets pretty boring for me. I want to know about your day. I want to laugh about some ridiculous thing that we saw on Twitter. I want to see a picture of the craft you worked on this weekend. And like, sure, I want to eventually talk about sexy times and send those kinds of pictures (sexy does not necessarily mean nude btw).

So what are you looking for?
