Oh. Hi! I didn't see you there at first. Say, while you're here, maybe you can help me. I'm looking for a needle in a haystack. Have you seen one?

I'm very grateful for the great life I have—child-free, pet-free (cat passed), deity-free/cult-free (atheist), and writing my first book (fantasy erotica)!

Independent (live alone), financially responsible, and diligent, I have a full-time job that allows me to afford my awesomely decorated house (Star Wars, Marvel, DC geek)!

I also enjoy living in Las Vegas (going on 30 years) and don't plan on leaving the state.

I'm 6' tall, 150 lbs (weight maintenance), thin build, clean shaven, short salt-and-pepper hair, glasses. I'm willing to share recent pictures when we chat. I often get compliments on my smile.

While I'm asymptomatic for HSV-2 (genital), I have a healthy lifestyle—nutrition, fitness walking, non-smoker (tobacco and pot), non-drinker, no hardcore drugs, and I moderate medical cannabis edibles (ask if curious).

I bond through communication (Gemini), personality (connection-seeking, straightforward, passionate, introspective, reflective), sense of humor (dark, sarcastic, warped; I curse, too), and sexual compatibility (kinky—probably not what you think, haha).

I've been single for 1.7 years. Self-aware and emotionally intelligent, I know my worth (good man) and what I'll bring to a new relationship as well as my limitations. I'm not perfect (willing to discuss), but I'm real.

Feel free to ask, I'm an open book—I'm amicably divorced for 2.5 years (stepparenting isn't my life role), and I've had a one-year post-divorce rebound relationship (ended mutually in 2024).

I'm open to a second marriage with the right partner, but I'm not in a rush, and if it never happens, that's okay, too.

WHO I'M LOOKING FOR

You're between 30 - 55.

=> I turn 52 near the end of May, and I've been in age-gap relationships with younger partners.

A good woman who will become a best friend and partner. Someone to complement me and my life, and vice versa.

I want a genuine connection that forms a solid friendship built on mutual communication, laughter, honesty, openness, trust, respect, loyalty, empathy, and kindness. These are foundational in any lasting romantic relationship.

I'm also heteroflexible yet heteroromantic—only interested in a woman for a monogamous relationship.

Ideally, you're a local (in the Las Vegas metropolitan area). I'm on the southwest side of town, near the Durango Resort.

If you're willing to relocate from another state, consistent communication (texts, calls, video chats) is a must as we get better acquainted for chemistry and compatibility. If you're in a neighboring state, that's ideal for travel if it progresses there.

MUST-HAVES

You're child-free, a non-smoker, non-religious (atheist is ideal), liberal, 420-tolerant (you're okay that I take edibles), you drink responsibly (non-drinker is ideal), you don't do hardcore drugs (mushrooms are okay), and you're not a compulsive gambler.

You read my entire post, think we'd be compatible, sincerely want us to know each other better, and know how to hold a conversation.

NICE-TO-HAVES

You have or want to have a healthy lifestyle, and you're pet-free (having pets isn't a deal-breaker, depending; I love cats and like most dogs).
