Hey! I'm looking for a serious relationship.

Location: NC, USA.

Getting this part out of the way now, what I'm not interested in -

Hookup/FWB "Online Fun" (Sexting, Pic trade, etc.) Dead-beat conversation

Me : 48 yo. 5'8" 184lbs (for now, I'm trying to bring that down). Sort of the dad-bod, ig, but more like skinny-fat, lol. Just got the extra belly and chest fat while everywhere else is fine. Working on that though. Natural hair color dark brown but kinda salt-n-pepper now. Hazel eyes. American/Caucasian. Capricorn. Gaymer. Nerd. Introvert mostly. Love scifi, fantasy, and horror. Mostly homebody, but like to get out too. Religiously Agnostic. Politically Liberal. Masculine. "Straight-acting" as some people put it. I have a few pics of myself on my profile. Sexually, I'm mostly top.

You : I'm interested in guys younger than me. Age range 20 - 35 (not super strict about that, but that's my preference). Not only am I attracted more to younger guys, but I seem to connect and get along with younger guys better than those around my age and older. I'm attracted to many types, but I have an especially strong affinity to Latinos and, interestingly, Slovakian guys (ethnically speaking, not necessarily from the country of Slovakia). I tend to lean towards the masculine guys and okay with soft fem. Would love to find a gaymer bf. Some say this shouldnt matter, but for me it does - don't be far right conservative or super religious. We simply will not get along. And, sexually, ofc, I would be looking for a mostly, or total, bottom.

Now onto what seems to be a touchy topic for some, but I do feel physical attraction is a piece of the puzzle for successful relationships. It's not being judgemental. It's simply realizing we're human and have feelings of attractions that are part of who we are. And there's nothing wrong with wanting a partner that not only you love emotionally but also are attracted to physically to help in strengthening the bond between you. So, with all that said, I will state here that when it comes to body types, the list of what I'm not attracted to is shorter than what I am okay with. I'm not attracted to -

Bears Severely overweight Severely body built (sorry Arnold) Super hairy Super tall (from my perspective, like 6'5" and up)

The above listed are the few things I'm extremely turned off by.

I suppose the ideal body types I have a strong preference for are -

Slim to average Same height or shorter than me As little body hair as possible

I try not to be strict about those though.

I do require to see pics of you. Especially face pic (without sunglasses). If you're not willing to share that, then move on.

Just a note on the LDR interest. I'm willing to talk to someone long distance only if there is a likelihood of in-person interaction in the "foreseeable" future and total openness to the possibility of relocation if/when a level of seriousness is reached at which point there is mutual interest of being together. I'm not interested in what I call a "Forever" LDR, i.e. one where there is little to no chance of being physically together. I see intimacy and in-person interaction as an important part of the equation to a fulfilling relationship. There absolutely has to be a point when me and my partner are physically together or it will not work for me.

If you made this far, and if you find yourself still interested, then you really should hmu.
