40 [M4F] #SoCal - what’s the worst that can happen if I keep setting all of these bridges on fire?

I’m feeling a little socially isolated and I can’t say that I’ve really been helping myself. Over the past year or so I’ve been trying to find someone to connect with, but when I’m not ghosted my own struggles with communication seem to drive people away. I’m a neurodivergent dork with a sometimes chaotic brain and I’m looking for a friend. My life has changed dramatically over the past five years, in a lot of ways for the better. But it’s been lonely navigating all of that upheaval in an unfamiliar city with an emotionally distant partner.

Lately I often find myself listening to music, catching local shows, hiking, cooling off at the beach, seeing art, nerding out, grabbing a beer, or exploring local food. I maintain a small balcony garden, enjoy cooking, and spend too much time with my dog. After years of playing sweaty music in tiny venues I’m suddenly a science educator. I have a lot of interests and love having new experiences.

I’m a tall, hairy, barrel-chested, shaved-head beast, with a large but shrinking belly (down 30 lbs!). I’m happy to exchange pics early. I’m married, no kids, have a day job and a pretty flexible schedule. If your interest has been piqued, drop me a line. If you think we’ve chatted before and you’re open to trying again, don’t hesitate to reach out.
