42 [M4F] # London, UK - Can’t wait to meet you, new friend +!
42 M4W. Looking for a London friend that can turn into more. Taking a leap
First time posting on Reddit post my divorce, so bear with me as I ramble on...
I am divorced now for two years, and have stayed rather low-key. I've worked on myself, therapy, meditation, found fitness as a good outlet to quiet my mind, and read fiction to teleport me to somewhere magical and entertaining. I haven't had an actual date in years, so I'm "new" to this life experience.
About me: Well you already know I'm 42. I'm half English/American, half German, with parents hailing from both countries. Basically a caucasian mut, lol. I live and work in Germany so I can stay close to my aging family, but I visit London regularly to get a break from the Bavarian seclusion. I served in the military, graduated from college, and have a life outside of the internet. I'm in good shape, but I'm definitely not an Abercrombie model. I have found competing in fitness competitions is a passion of mine, but I'm not all in your face about it. It's more for me to keep improving myself and moving on with life. I have blue eyes, a dark red facial accessory, and have a lot of tattoos (shoulders, arms, chest, legs). They're all classy and nothing offensive, but want to put that out there in case it's not your thing. I shave my head as a choice, but I can grow hair. I've just found I can't be asked to bother with it since Covid, and I've actually grown to enjoy it. I'm emotionally intelligent and think about what I say before I say it. I don't know my sun/moon chart, but I am a Pisces, if that helps, haha! My love languages are acts of service and words of affirmation. Just FYI.
Politically, I'm very moderate. I'm American by birth (Yes, I know the politics there is a dumpster fire right now) I'm not a MAGA f-boy, but I'm also not chaining myself to trees or laying down in front of tanks. I believe in common sense, even though it's not exactly common anymore. I believe you should be able to love who you want to love without fear of reprisal or condemnation, and Iiving your life to the fullest extent. At the end of the day, it's all about being happy in your own skin, the choices you make, and the people you surround yourself with.
What I'm looking for: A friend to start. Online is fine for now, but I would like to go out and have drinks/meals together and enjoy the world. Regarding physical appearance, I'm not overly picky. I don't mind a woman who has some meat on her bones, or a woman who has no meat at all, as well as that happy medium of "I'll get to the gym when I can" bod. The biggest turn on for me is intelligence. I crave intelligent conversation about anything. We can talk politics, sports, weather, video games, food, whatever you want. I would eventually like things to turn more sexual in nature, but not until we are both comfortable. I do have an incredibly high sex drive, but that discussion comes with time. Flirting is a plus, and huge for boosting each other's confidence, so feel free to lay it on thick. I'm thick-skinned and can handle sarcasm, so bring your A-game for witty retorts and off color humor.
If you've made it this far, I hope I've kept you entertained and occupied. If you fancy replying, I'd love for the title of your reply to be something unique about yourself, followed by something more about yourself. Prefer you be within 5-10 years of my age, unless you consider yourself mature enough to adult. Hope to meet you soon! -M
