Hi there! Long time lurker, first time poster, not looking to change anyone's situation. I'm seeking a long term chat with someone who likes me as much as I like them. I'm looking for the same thing most of you are, which is connection, vulnerability, excitement, passion, fun, and maybe even a little spice that grows warmer with time. Like all good things, I expect this kind of connection to build slowly, and to require patience on both sides. I won't involve myself with someone who wants to become the center of my world immediately, or who becomes agitated if/when I don't respond on their timeline. Trust and mutual respect is a must for any good connection, and it's important to me to find someone who values our time together, and makes sure to carve out some space for me. That said, I don't require constant communication to feel cared about, and I'd hope the same is true for you. I just want to catch a vibe with someone who loves life, and takes themselves seriously, but not too seriously. Your age doesn't matter (as long as it's 18+). I do believe physical attraction is important, and would want to exchange photos and verify if we end up clicking, but I'm not in a rush about any of that. Quality connection is far more important to me than getting off lmao.
A bit about me: I'm 5'11, white, with a slim to muscular build. I have kind and sincere blue-hazel eyes, auburn hair that glows gold in the sunlight, and a neatly kept beard to match. I love being outdoors, especially hiking and camping. I'm also a fan of good food, good music, museums, cannabis, billiards, and Tarot cards! I live in the southwest US with my wife, dogs and cat. I value softness as much as strength, and rest as much as work and play. I believe everyone is important, and deserves the chance to become their very best self, but I also believe that not everyone wants to be their very best self yet, and that is okay. I'm a believer in practicing presence, mindfulness and compassion, and operating out of a healthy reverence for all of Life. Everything else is window dressing.
If any of this feels resonant for you, please feel free to reply or DM! If you've read this far, thank you for your time. I hope you have a magnificent day 😊
