Seeking Others, Laying it All Out

Intuitional

New member
I'm a 40 year old man. I don't have much experience in poly relationships but I feel like it's been calling to me. I don't even know where to start so when I found this site I wanted to just lay everything out and see what happens.

Who I am: I'm a 40 year old military veteran. I'm in Michigan but I'm not completely set on staying here. I'm currently on military disability and can't hold a full-time job without my benefits being slashed. I have a lot of time on my hands and not many people to talk to. I'm working with the VA to deal with the issues from my military service. In my free time I am a wood carver, wood worker, and dabble in various other artistic pursuits like drawing, sculpting, and airbrushing. I'm not good at any of it, it's just something to keep me occupied. It's about the process and not the end product. I also enjoy reading, board games, video games, tv/movies, bourbon, and officiate baseball. I'm a big dog lover. I trained dogs in the military and do a little bit of dog training in my spare time. I end up bonding better with dogs than people for the most part. I have a very eclectic taste in music and movies/tv. Some favorite shows and movies are Bob's Burgers, Archer, Letterkenny, Lord of the Rings Extended Versions, Futurama, Shawshank Redemption, Fifth Element, Tombstone, Tropic Thunder, and so many more that I'm unable to come up with off the top of my head.
I'm yearning for a connection to someone or multiple people. I spend a lot of time on my own and would like to share my time with someone. I worry that I'm not enough for one person on my own. I make enough to keep myself going but I don't have property or live lavishly. Sometimes I need time to myself to deal with things and sometimes I want to connect with people. I don't want a ton of friends or relationships, I just want a few close friends and relationships that I can really put my effort into. My concern, as I said before, is that I'm not enough for just one person. However I thought it would be more beneficial to be in a poly relationship where someone isn't relying on me as the sole source of everything. I want to contribute and be loved but I'm barely able to keep myself sustained with my income. It might be my own insecurities that make me feel like I wouldn't be enough for one person. I think being part of a 'team' sounds more appealing than a duo
When it comes to intimate subjects I'm bisexual, also considered demisexual since I don't like sleeping around with people I don't know. I want to feel a connection with whomever I'm intimate with. I'm open-minded and interested in a lot of various things which we can discuss if you are interested.

I want to get to know people. I'm not looking to make anything happen right away. Let's take our time and see how well we get along.

Feel free to contact me with any questions
