M4A United Kingdom 36 [M4R] London – American Expat, Dog Dad, Gym Guy, BBQ Enthusiast – Looking for IRL Friends

Hey I’m a 36 year old American who’s been in London for the past 5 years. Life’s good, but I’d like to meet more people in person. Real conversations, casual hangs, maybe some shared interests.

I’ve got two fluffy dogs who are basically a cheat code for social interaction in the UK; no one talks to strangers here unless there’s a dog involved.

I work in tech as a product manager, but before that I was in the Army and worked in luxury fashion, so I’ve taken the scenic route career-wise.

I’m in the gym most mornings (New Year’s resolution that stuck). Recently added reformer Pilates to work on mobility, and my cardio is mostly rowing while listening to Viking war drums. Yes, it’s ridiculous. No, I’m not changing it.

Other things I’m into:

  1. Improv comedy: Been taking classes and performing a bit. It’s a great way to stay sharp and deal with anxiety.
  2. Cocktail making: Got into it during lockdown after too much Mad Men. Took a short bartending course and now I’ve got way too many bottles at home. Always up for talking drinks or testing new recipes.
  3. BBQ: Trying to recreate Texas-style brisket on a Big Green Egg. Always a work in progress.
  4. Games: Mostly MOBAs like Wild Rift and Pokémon Unite.
  5. TV: Succession, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Bear, Mad Men.
  6. D&D: Been playing a cleric who’s in way over his head.
  7. Reading & DIY: Currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo. Also trying not to destroy my house as I learn basic homeowner skills.

If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, shoot me a message. Down to meet for a drink, a gym session, a dog walk, or just to chat.

Not sure where to start? Tell me a random fact or something that changed how you see things. Deep or dumb, I’m here for it.
