36 [M4F] Arlington Heights - Semi-regular traveler looking for ongoing local connection

If you’re tired of guessing games and miss the simple warmth of feeling wanted, desired, and appreciated, we’re already on the same page. I travel to the Arlington Heights and Northwest Suburbs area semi-regularly for work, and I’m looking to connect with a local woman who values directness, authenticity, and straightforward communication over dating games. Having a familiar, welcoming face to look forward to when I’m in town makes these trips so much better.

A bit about me: I’m a 36-year-old bi dad. I’m a big, solid guy (beard + dad bod combo) who is clean, respectful, and discreet. When I’m off the clock, I’m usually gaming, reading, building Legos, catching local racing, or breaking things in the name of DIY home repair. My home life is stable and co-parenting is solid, but the romantic and physical aspect of my marriage has long since run its course.

I’m looking for a discreet, ongoing connection with a woman who misses real affection, deep conversation, and physical intimacy without the drama. I naturally love curvy women, but genuine chemistry always trumps a specific "type" for me. There's zero pressure here—the goal is building real emotional warmth and mutual comfort first that translates to meeting up whenever I'm in the area.
