mambojazz1I didn't meet him through meetup though, he just happened to be hanging out at a bar I was visiting, I asked him how his week was, we really hit it off, and we ended up pub crawling with the finance dude who invited me over to his apartment (I also met him for the first time there)
Studied abroad in China, toured in Japan among other places, is a vet and was in the band for the Marines, and apparently played for and met three different presidents. He is really well traveled and educated, super charismatic, funny and interesting as you might expect, but somehow also a genuinely kind dude and great listener. Me being a virgin at 24 came up sometime during our hangout by my own admission, but he was genuinely nonjudgmental about it, gave me loads of interesting advice, and even made me feel better about myself afterward by bringing up things I accomplished and talked about with him earlier, and saying stuff like I had the life experience and conversational skills to genuinely fascinate people, using himself as an example.
Hell, I brought up the short megadebuff in regards to dating when I was asking him advice, and he somehow managed to argue that it wasn't an automatic fate sealer, was even advantageous in certain social situations, and it all actually didn't sound like total bullshit because he always could back it up with specific stories. It was nuts, and honestly meant a lot. Lends credence to my general thought/experience that actual chads are genuinely great people.
