I hope I got a laugh, i don’t actually think I’m ugly. But the line got you to open this!

I will pre apologize if I have a bit of a rant in this. But I swear if you stick it out you might actually learn something about me and be intrigued!

I’m nearing the old 4-0 and honestly getting a little spooked as I don’t have anyone in my life. If I was desperate I could have “settled” multiple times but I’m one of those dummies who believes in true love. I just have had the worst luck dating in the past two years. There are two women I would consider wife material that both left because “the grass is always greener”. I somehow lost out because someone else was better.

It’s tough.

Tinder is a crapshoot. Honestly I am too ugly for it. I am chubby and balding. Working on the chubby at the gym, have embraced the bald and honestly love keeping my hair super short. The good news is that I’m tall….very tall so you don’t see the top of my head and I don’t look fat as I’m just big.

It’s hard to convey the awesome about me. I have a nice life, a great career, love to travel and could ramble on. My life matches a lady who has it together as well.

What always happens is I meet a lady who has it together but they want better. They don’t want to date linear they want to date up.

I am up. I just don’t pretend I am more than who I am. My cars are used, my lifestyle is comfortable, my vacations are fun but not flashy. I don’t have an Instagram laced with food pics and watch shots over the airbag on my rented Bentley.

What tinder can’t convey is that I am on my way to be retired between 45-50. I’m about to get my first board seat of a big company and that will set me up for life (if you didn’t know board seats are literally the way those old guys live in Forrest Hill and you never see them actually work). I own my cottage. I’m debt free. I pay my taxes and don’t do anything doggey. I have savings, investments and know how to plan for life. I’m an amazing uncle, a great friend and my dads favourite son. I give back in my community without telling the world what I do. All in all I live a lifestyle that could wow people but I’m to humble to want to even try.

Frankly put I’m going to be nobody other than myself. But the humble me attracts nothing great.

And then comes the classic hurdle when I do match and the conversation skews to what I want in a relationship and possible family. Whatever I want takes time to build. And it’s hard to say that without sounding like an asshole.

If you’re asking about family and kids before an actual relationship starts than you reallly want kids. I get it. But I can’t go on a coffee date and decide if that’s going to be the mother of my child. It takes time. You need to travel together, see how you are as a couple before you build that into a family. And because I have my shit together women often fixate on the fact I would be a good father.

Ya I would be. But I want to a)know you as a person b)be in true love before we make a plan to progress.

So I turn to Reddit and seeing if that can attract a mate. If you like what you hear dm me. And if not have an awesome Tuesday as it’s only 3 days to the weekend now!
