55 [M4F] #New York - dedicated, determined, detailed, dogmatic, decidedly (not!) a dour Dad.

This charming, single, gentleman is forever optimistic about Reddit, despite the overwhelming odds. That's something to know about me - that while love and romance make me hopeful, often the rest of the world (job, strangers, life, family, co-workers) leave me very pessimistic.

I'm 5-9, 185, with hazel eyes, dimples and very dark, almost black hair that is nicely graying. I wear glasses, and look more boyish and youthful than my age would read on a driver's license.

Lately I'm into my Spotify to kill the time on subway rides, and that could include Phish, Rush, Incubus, U2, The Eagles, random podcasts like "Fly On The Wall" and also older Genesis, Frank Zappa, Rage Against The Machine, etc. I also journal and read on my commute, take care of my children, work hard and cook for myself.

It's likely that we'll hit it off if you're 30-60, have an immediate sarcasm toggle switch, don't wear a ton of makeup, lean liberal in your politics, keep in decent shape, and can ask questions if we start a chat.

Reach out if you think we might match, and step to the front if you'd share a photo. (I will too)
