About Me:

Hello and good morning,

For the sake of transparency, I want to get a few things out of the way upfront. I've done a lot of soul-searching, personal discovery, and growth over the last couple of years. I've slowly learned to love and forgive myself. Here are the skeletons in my closet:

I'm an INFJ personality type (and I genuinely feel "seen" by those INFJ memes — they're dead-on more often than not).
I have ADHD (diagnosed in childhood). Adderall has been a game-changer for me.
Like many people, I've dealt with some heavier chapters — PTSD from past experiences and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Both are well-managed with medication, and I'm in a stable, positive place now.
With that out of the way, here's me:

I'm a 47-year-old bisexual man, currently separated after 15 years of marriage due to irreconcilable differences. It’s left a big hole in my life as a man with no children. I have a three-month-old short-haired dapple dachshund named Kassiel. I’m a Sagittarius (November 23) and a Horse in the Chinese zodiac.

I work as an expeditor and prep cook (plus a bit of everything else) at a local restaurant in the next town over. Politically, I’m center-right/libertarian-leaning (classically liberal). I have zero interest in political debates — I’d rather focus on connection than division. I was baptized Orthodox Christian and remain respectfully spiritual, though not religious. I have one tattoo so far and am planning a larger piece from my fingers up to the base of my neck with deep personal meaning.

On my days off, I’m getting back into photography after a long hiatus. Feel free to Google “Bendersama Photography.” I’m also a DP (director of photography) on an independent film called Antique coming to local theaters soon — check out the trailer on YouTube from Nerd House Film Productions. I’m working toward voice acting and content creation this year. I’ve also started a solid regimen of skincare, weight lifting, and yoga.

There’s obviously more to me, but this post is already long enough.
Bonus facts since you made it this far:

I was a prodigy bowler. Before losing my mother, I was being scouted by Team USA around the time bowling was being considered for the 2000 Olympics.
I’ve had more than a dozen clear supernatural experiences — some witnessed and corroborated by others.
I’m authorized to officiate weddings in the state of Illinois.

My Ideal Match:

So… what am I looking for?

Age: Flexible, but I connect best with women 25–50 who have some life experience.
Weight: Not looking for an athlete, but I am active and prefer someone who can keep up.
Religion & Politics: No strong preference on either — just please don’t try to convert me.
Height: Not a dealbreaker, I’m 5'9"
Sexuality: As a bisexual man, I’m sexually experienced. I’ve been less active lately due to work and focusing on myself, but in the bedroom I value passion, creativity, and dynamics. Be interesting — I know how to bring the heat.
Substances: I enjoy recreational weed (edibles and vape) occasionally and drink rarely. I prefer a non-smoker.
Personality: I’m looking for a caring, passionate, funny, nerdy, artsy woman who can be my cheerleader (outfit optional 😉) — a sweet, fun, complementary partner for me and my little dachshund Kassiel.
I’m open, honest, faithful, and ready to be committed. DMs are always open. Thanks for reading!
