I wish I could start this by being all bashful and naive and cutesy, saying, “Gee, I’ve never really done this before..*slow blink*” But I have. I have done this before. I have written a couple and I have responded to a few. I’m haggard and weathered and missing an eye. Not specifically because of this sub, but I’m sure it hasn’t helped.

I’m mostly joking. If this was such a hellscape, I wouldn’t be here. I’m an optimistic realist and recognize that although we are all living somewhere on the Scumbag Spectrum, we still have some good in us. We’re here because it’s complicated. And having even the smallest blip of warm connection can make things feel a little cosier for a moment.

Although I firmly believe that reading the way somebody writes gives far more insight into who they are than a list of attributes ever will, here is a list of my attributes: sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always kind, never lacking in depth, able to connect with many kinds of people, unusual in a compelling way, responsive, a keeper.

As far as my looks go, you will either be immediately enchanted or woefully disappointed. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground. But I’d venture to say that if you have a narrow and specific idea of beauty, I’m likely not for you.

I like people who are inquisitive, curious, and kind. I value emotional intelligence and self sufficiency. Knowing that other people are far more interesting than yourself will get you everywhere.

If you’re into it, send me a message. Responses written in haiku will take highest priority.

Late 40s, 5’10", low drama, high curiosity.

I’m the kind of person who enjoys a sharp mind, a good back-and-forth, and a conversation that wanders a bit. If you’re someone who finds intelligence attractive (and maybe a little distracting), we’ll probably get on.

I’m GGG and I mean that in the sense that I genuinely enjoy making sure the person I’m with is having a very good time. Attentive, respectful, and naturally take the lead, but not in a heavy-handed way without discussing consent and boundaries… more calm, grounded, and tuned in.

I am drawn to women, and turned on by conversation as much as by touch. Ideally, looking to meet someone who’s happily married and wants to keep it that way! Someone who values discretion, honesty (irony, i know), and a clear understanding of what this is (and isn’t). Makes things easier, and honestly, more enjoyable.

Big fan of great food, trying new places, performing arts, yoga, and saying yes to things that feel a little out of the ordinary. Also capable of staying in and talking nonsense for hours.

If you’re thoughtful, a bit playful, and like the idea of something that’s equal parts easygoing and exciting, say hello.
