I’m the kind of guy who overthinks everything—history, people, that moment in a movie where the score swells just right. I love peeling back layers, figuring out what makes things (and people) tick. Patterns jump out at me. Systems make sense. But the second I meet a woman who throws me off my game? Suddenly, I don’t want strategy. I want real. I want messy. I want something that feels like a well-worn book I never get tired of rereading.

I’m ENM and partnered, but that doesn’t make me any less intentional. I believe in connection that feels meaningful, not transactional. I travel often, enough to know that most people aren’t as different as they think, and I make a point to stay active while I’m on the move—fitness is important to me, whether that’s lifting, hiking, or something that gets me out of my head and into my body.

I’m drawn to women who are soft but not fragile, who lean into their femininity without feeling like they have to perform it. Someone who actually likes romance—the old-school kind. You like being pursued, being wanted, being adored. And you like a man who knows exactly how to make you feel that way.

I love sharp minds and soft hearts, deep conversations that go off the rails in the best way, and debates that somehow turn into flirting. I like a woman who can keep up but doesn’t feel like she has to compete. Someone who gets lost in her own world but likes the idea of a man who can pull her into his.

A few things about me: My taste is all over the place. I love tango and metal. I play guitar (badly some days, decently on others), I dance, and I get way too invested in antique refinishing and home renovation projects. When I’m not out hiking, reading, or in the gym, I’m probably binging Severance or rewatching The Wire, Game of Thrones, Rome, or The Simpsons for the hundredth time. I like stories with depth, chaos, and sharp writing—kind of like the best people.

If any of this resonates, say hello. Tell me what keeps you up at night, what excites you, or just what you’re craving more of in life. Let’s see where this goes.
