52 M4F LF real connection, no filters, no MAGA, just actual communication and authenticity.
I'll try to keep this brief, for both our sakes. I'm in the Seattle area, 4 years out of a 20+ year relationship/marriage that produced 2 sons and an absolutely shattered heart, sense of identity and raison d'etre. I've done therapy, I've worked on myself and I've reached a sense of peace being alone with myself and what I'm willing to accept from a partner.
I have a dry sense of humor, and I love a sense of humor in my partner. I think the term "sapiosexual" applies to me, there's nothing like a long, deep conversation about almost anything with someone that surprises me, lights me up with their own thoughts and ideas. I love competence in others, I don't care what the arena is, I just enjoy seeing it. I'd love to be with someone that has her own life and is comfortable with me having my own, and coming together and eventually intertwining those lives in the contexts that it makes sense to do so. I like to be challenged, I enjoy debate for the mental exercise.
I have a ton of interests, I hesitate to try to create a list here because who would read it, but my primary interest is competing in some amateur motorsport activities on weekends. While I abhor small talk, I love conversations.. deep, intellectual, revealing.. I love gaining insight into my partner, coming to understand how they think, what drives them emotionally. I value depth, honesty and clarity. I prefer no bullshit unless it's in fun, and I treat my partner with the respect I expect, and they deserve.
This is getting a little long, I can see you fighting the yawn. Look, bottom line, I'm a fun hang, I'm sexually adventurous, I'm 5'11, stocky (and a few extra pounds) and I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I'm committed to honesty, and I'm direct and self-aware. I have a real job and as previously stated, I don't bullshit around. I'd love to hear from you if you're interested in what you've read so far, please no one under 35ish or I guess over 55ish, tho I'd more willing to go up than down, I can't imagine what someone in their 20's and I would have to talk about after about 30 minutes or so simply due to the disparity in lived experience, no shade, just reality.
I'm not trying to relive my 20's, when casual relationships and sex were new and thrilling, etc. I'm looking for a partner, an equal. A ride or die. A best friend, a companion, someone that enjoys sex for her pleasure and mine, as nothing lights me up sexually more than seeing my partner turned on. Someone I can read a book with in the same room next to the fire, or watch a mini-series like The Outsider or anything from popcorn flick to thought provoking documentary. Someone that prefers conversation to looking at their phone over dinner. Us against the world, loyalty and trust.
