Hey there. I love people in other time zones, but my brain completely refuses to do the annoying math of a six-hour difference anymore. Let's keep it local to the Midwest or Prairie provinces. I’m looking for someone in the 30-50 age range. Male, female, whatever—if you can hold a great conversation and want to see where things go, I’m down. Low pressure, but looking for a real connection.

Just to get the mandatory reality check out of the way, I’m a single dad. My kids are older teens, meaning they can feed themselves, but they are still my absolute priority. If you expect instant, 24/7 attention, I’m definitely not your guy. The upside is they have their own lives now, so I actually have the free time to date and be a fun human being.

For work, I run my own blue-collar business. Turns out working with your hands beats staring at a cubicle screen all day. On the heritage side, I’m part Indigenous. This means two things: I run on absolute Indian Time (if we plan a date for 7, expect me closer to 8), and I can make frybread that definitely won't kill you. Fun fact, I’ve never been to a single powwow in my life, so go ahead and roast me for it.

When I have free time, I’m usually trading music playlists, taking moody, blurry night photography shots, or hitting the road.

As a final warning, I am an excellent listener, but my brain handles things a bit differently. I'm a natural empath and I tend to absorb and feel emotions much more deeply than most people. Because of that, my default setting when someone I care about is struggling is a fierce, automatic urge to fix the problem right now instead of just sitting back and nodding. I have the emotional radar turned all the way up, but if you just want to vent about your boss without me trying to re-engineer your life, you are going to have to explicitly tell me to shut up and just say "that sucks."

If you want to swap some music, talk about classic muscle cars, or grab a greasy $5 burger on a first date, hit up my DMs.

Happy Canada Day, everyone! While everyone else is out watching fireworks, drinking Timmy’s, and apologizing to inanimate objects, I’m sitting here realizing my long weekend is missing one key element: you. Yes that was lame, but the effort was there. I’m looking for someone to share a plate of poutine with, argue over whether it’s called a "couch" or a "chesterfield," and practice our aggressive passive-aggressive head-nods when someone doesn't hold the door open.

To give you a quick rundown on me, I am fully house-trained and know how to scrape ice off a windshield in -40°C weather without crying (mostly). I consider myself highly athletic since I can outrun a Canada Goose, assuming it’s a very small, friendly goose, which we all know doesn't actually exist. I also have peak financial stability, which is proven by the fact that I own at least three different weights of plaid flannel shirts.

As for you, I'm hoping you don't mind that my personality is 70% hockey references and 30% saying "no worries" or "eh." Location-wise, I am right above the border, so I am completely open to anyone across Canada or living in the US Midwest.

If you want to spend the rest of July 1st trading terrible puns, DM me your favorite regional stereotype and let’s see if we click. Sorry for bothering you, and have a great long weekend! Eh!

Currently wrapping up a great trip through the US and spending my last night in Nebraska before driving back across the border to Canada tomorrow.

I’m a 39-year-old single father of two teens (separated for a couple of years now). I’m part Aboriginal, a business owner, and a mix of an introvert and an extrovert. I’m in a place in life where I’m just looking to expand my circle and find some cool people to talk to. I am strictly looking for platonic friends at the moment.

My main interests:

Sports: Big fan of hockey, football, baseball, and playing in senior leagues.

Hobbies: Road trips, classic cars, night photography, and entomology (yes, I like looking at bugs).

Vibe: Very open-minded, zero judgment, and a big fan of humor (even the darker side of it).I’m a big fan of deep conversations. I love talking about complex topics even if it's something I don't know much about, I'm always down to listen, learn, and dive into it.

If you are located in Canada or the US Midwest and want a new casual chatting buddy (and maybe a real-life meet-up someday if the vibe is right), send a message my way.

To break the ice, tell me: What’s a random topic you could spend hours talking about without getting bored?

I’m a single dad to two teenagers. Every day is a high-stakes psychological thriller where I try to keep them alive while they simultaneously drain my bank account and my will to live. If you’ve ever wanted to talk to a man who evaluates his self-worth by the price of groceries, step right up.

​

​

Since my kids only interact with me when they need money or a ride, I’m looking for some actual adults to chat with.

​

​

 I’m mixed race. Your clues are frybread and a sauna. 

​

​

I play hockey and ball, and watch football. I enjoy sports because they are the only places where physical violence is socially acceptable and properly scheduled.

​

​

I take photos, love classic cars, and travel whenever I can escape my household captors. Classic cars are great because, unlike my kids, they actually appreciate the money I throw at them.

​

​

I love all music. I can seamlessly transition from aggressive death metal to depressing blues, which matches my daily mood swings perfectly. 

​

​

I'm just looking for anyone down to chat about anything. Really I don't care who you are just know My humor is pretty solid, so if you are easily offended or still believe the world is inherently good, I am definitely not your guy.

​

​

Can you be at least 30+. If you are in your 20s, you still have hope, skin elasticity, and dreams. I find that deeply offensive. Plus, talking to anyone that young feels like a legal liability I don't need on my record.

​

​

Slide into my DMs with your absolute worst dark joke, your favorite obscure music genre, or a solid alibi. Let's chat.

Spring is finally here, which means it’s time for my favorite annual hobby: outdoor tanning. Now, I’m already naturally Brown thanks to my Native heritage, but I am out here trying to push the absolute limits of melanin. I’m trying to unlock levels of brown that science didn't know were possible.The problem is, nature is actively plotting against my greatness.The local bug population has officially mistaken me for an all-you-can-eat buffet. I am currently being swarmed, stalked, and aggressively buzzed at by insects that have zero respect for treaties or personal space. I just tried to swat a fly, missed entirely, and punched myself directly in the jaw. It’s a real majestic, one-with-nature vibe out here right now.

An Important Public Service Announcement: Before the DMs blow up, I need to make one thing clear: I am single, but I am not actively looking. I’m just out here living my best life. So sorry, girls, you are unfortunately going to have to wait. My current schedule is completely booked solid with tanning, swatting at thin air, and applying calamine lotion. I can only handle being pursued by one relentless group at a time, and right now, the mosquitoes have won the exclusive rights to my body.

About me: Built-in sun resistance, but still out here trying to level up.single, emotionally unavailable to humans, but highly attractive to gnats.Will share my lawn chair, but you have to bring the heavy-duty bug spray.
