I have spent about a year doing the Reddit dating thing. It's rare that I meet someone I hit it off with, but when I do, it's really special and fulfilling.

I'd like to add another person to my "fufilling relationship" roster. Maybe it's you? (I mean, I doubt it, since most of the interactions that I have on here are low-effort and inconsistent with a side of male entitlement but...it's worth a shot, right?)

Going to attempt to make this one short and sweet. I say attempt, because brevity is not my strong point, but here goes...

Ideal Situation:

I'm looking to add another guy to my roster. Does that sound slutty? It's really not - I promise. While I date more than one person at a time, I really like to have consistent partners that I can develop something meaningful with.

I am currently dating two people, neither of which I get to see often enough due to scheduling, thus looking for another.

I'm looking to develop a friendship via chat first. I do not often meet up with people in person unless I've chatted with them consistently for a week or so. If you're looking to meet up with someone right away then I am likely not a good match for you.

If we get to the in-person part, I prefer a first meeting in public (in the case that you're a murderer I want to ensure that I don't look like a total tool on my Dateline episode) and then go from there. I would like to be able to hang out 2-4 times per month if we feel that we're compatible.

I live about an hour north of Seattle and can usually hang out on the weekends (Saturday afternoon/evening and Sunday.) I am occassionally in the city during the week or on weekends.

I don't mind a bit of distance (~1 hour) as long as their is a commitment to equity in traveling to see each other. (Places within an hour-ish of me include but are not limited to: Seattle, Everett, Lynnwood, Bellevue. Further south than Seattle would be challenging, Snohomish might work depending on how far out there you are.)

Sexy Sexy Safety:
- Condoms are a non-negotiable.
- I have HSV-2 that I'm medicated for/have never given to anyone.

Body Stuff:

• I'm overweight. I carry it well.
  (Every time I write that I get at least one message that is like "you're not fat!" and like...I am AND it's not a bad thing? I don't see being overweight as a character flaw, it just is, and I like to disclose it because some people don't like fat people and I'm trying to weed those people out early on.)

• I am relatively attractive (I'd say at least a 6-7 on a scale of 1-10, but obviously that's subjective) and of average height. I am 40 and I look my age (although in the past few weeks a couple of people have said I look 5-10 years younger and I'll take it!)

Beliefs and Interests:
- Please look at some of my past posts to learn more about me. I know, I know, I'm making you do - gasp - research! But really, if you like what you're reading and want to get to know me, taking ten minutes to persuse my past posts is going to help you out in the long run, I promise.

• I'm a hardcore feminist and left/progressive and not really interested in people who aren't at least somewhat left.

Have a lovely week!
