Hey guys,I imagine what I’m hoping for is next to impossible, but I suppose I’ll put it out there and see what I get back. First off, I’m not gay, I’m a happily married guy but I lack the deep masculine brotherly connection I’ve always hoped for. In my perfect world, I’d find a friend that is willing to be totally open and vulnerable, that is interested in developing a one of a kind bromance. I want to be able to talk about life, work, family and the stuff that hides in the depths of our beings, those secrets we’re uncomfortable talking to anyone else about. Because we support each other’s lives, relationships, goals and pursuits, we can connect without judgement and explore all sides of ourselves. I want to be able to share feelings and affection that men have historically been able to develop for each other but that modern society now shuts down unless there is a label on it with a celebratory parade trailing behind. This would be just our thing, nothing that anyone else would need to understand or approve of.

I have a super busy life and I travel a fair bit for work. Like most, I have my preferences and the things I’m most attracted to. The kind of relationship I want has a physical and emotional component for sure. Maybe that doesn’t make sense to some of you reading this, since I lead with the fact that I’m not gay. I don’t fully understand it either, but I know that I have a certain type of bro I feel attracted to.

Hopefully, those responding are my age or younger, in good shape, handsome and good at self care. You should be witty and funny and emotionally resilient. I want an intellectual challenge and a bud who truly wants to get below the surface.

Since I travel for business, in my perfect world you would too. It would be amazing to align our getaways from time to time so we can spend some time together connecting in person. A shared desire for an eventual meet up is really necessary in order for this to work. If that isn’t a goal for you than I’m probably not the one you’re looking for.

Some things that likely will not work for me include:

If you’re gay, it probably won’t be a fit. I’m not trying to judge, but I’m just not sure we’d have enough in common. Not ruling it out, it’s just my feeling.

If you don’t aim for something ongoing and sustainable, probably not for you.

If you only want an online thing or live outside of the US, probably won’t work.

If you’re uncomfortable of the idea of genuine masculine physical affection (not romance, that’s for our women) between bros, this won’t work.

If you aren’t at all open to the idea of being naked and exploring, and embracing our masculine sexual energy, probably not a fit.

I am 6’ 220 beefy, handsome middle age professional. If that doesn’t appeal to you, I’m not likely the right connection.

That’s already a lot to process so I’ll stop there and hope I didn’t scare everyone away, just those who aren’t a fit. If you respond, please do so thoughtfully with some detail about you and what about my post resonated with you.

Younger guys welcomes and encouraged as long as you are 18 . I definitely value youth, energy and the opportunity to share my experience as well.
