Well, here we are! Looking for that "needle in the haystack."

You might be unsure about what exactly it is you’re looking for (maybe even after you thought you finally figured it out).

All you know is that you’re lonely and missing something – and it's not just sex (but, yeah, that's missing and desired).

You want to have someone who is there for you. Someone who cares about you and thinks about you. You want to have someone to share what’s on your mind and in your heart … as well as what’s going on ahem further down. :)

Someone to share the mundane details of your day and/or week, but also to share your deepest and most intimate thoughts and activities - without fear of judgment.

And is it too much to ask that they be relatively attractive? :)

You might never meet them in real life. Or you might ... sooner or later.

Whatever the case, they're able to draw you incredibly close to them (heart-to-heart, mind-to-mind, and hopefully skin-to-skin). And from that intimacy comes fulfillment. Your craving satisfied at last.

Does this strikes a chord in you?

Well, not to say that I'm that "needle" for you (chances are I'm not; I'm bigger than a needle - hahaha ... sorry, couldn't resist making that joke), but maybe at the very least I can encourage you on your search (and you on mine).

About me: I'm Asian, 38, married with kids, in the "DMV" area (more specifically Northern Virginia, aka "NoVA", near Washington, DC). I'm really chatty (a natural storyteller). I love to sing. I'm a former athlete (track and football), so I'm in fairly good shape even though I don't work out as much as I used to or as I'd like to. If height matters to you, I'm 5'8". I'm also a former overachiever who is now without a checklist (something I need to work on). I don't do drugs. I don't drink. Heck, I don't even swear (in person, anyway, but oddly enough will on occasion via chat). :) Not that I'm against any of that. Just not what I do. I'm also into sci-fi, fantasy, crime solving (shows, books, etc.), superhero stuff, "chick flicks," and romantic comedies (to name a FEW). YouTube and Netflix are my friends. (Hulu used to be until they started charging ... haha. Sorry, I also laugh at my own jokes sometimes.)

About you: I think if you clicked on this post and have read this far (and enjoyed it), we are probably compatible enough to engage in a conversation to at least get to know one another to see what sort of chemistry we have. I don't need to say what your likes and dislikes should be or say you should have this quality or that characteristic. I think the same goes for appearance as well. While we all have preferences, I've come to realize that it's probably not a good idea to describe what type of women I tend to be attracted to. In doing so, I may discourage someone really great from responding.

So, if you've gotten this far, send me a message already! And don't worry about writing a catchy, Pulitzer prize-winning first message. I'm not going to ignore your one-liner. I'm a guy. Our inboxes don't get flooded with messages like women. :) And I will reply.

ALSO ... if you made it this far, enjoyed what I wrote, but have decided NOT to message me, can you at least upvote this post? I've been told that the other men on subs like this will intentionally downvote M4F posts so they won’t get any attention. So, if you're not who I'm looking for (or vice-versa), would you help a guy better his chances of finding them by upvoting this? Thanks! And I wish you luck on your search as well!
