You only need to look around you

Barcelona · Sunday 10 Aug 2025 · morning–early afternoon

TL;DR: On 10 Aug 2025 in Barcelona, I met R* — an Irish-born, Australia-based man — in a spa with a pool and saunas. We spent six unforgettable hours together. I don’t know his full name, but I want to find him. If you think you know him, check the Quick Identifiers below and pass this on.

Hey, look here! This guy is trying to find another guy he met in a weird place! Why didn’t they exchange numbers, dumbasses? Why wouldn’t he just move on? Maybe because I am aware that some moment wouldn’t deserve to fade away – and this one is still humming in my chest.

Thank you for coming to see this page, stranger. I asked many strangers like you to help me reach a person in the haystack. Hence the Improbable Person title. You are now looking at this web wondering, what hell is this guy about and how does he believe he can find someone among 8.142 billion people. Do you know what? I am wondering this too.

I met R* under unusual circumstances in a place that tends to erase names, faces, and memories. We spent six hours together — six hours of conversation, laughter, the quiet pauses in between, and the easy comfort of company. The air was still in there and smelled of chlorine. His voice had gentle lilt that makes you want just smile. In our case the personalities stayed, even the names and I am now fighting to keep the memories. My goal is simple; reach him, so he can decide if he wants to reach back. I exist in the industry where too many people come and go .Life has too many comings and goings. And I am kind of tired of being adult and I’m tired of just moving on. So I kicked the bucket and got excited about a project as my way of making something bigger out of a single connection.

And that’s where you come in. Right now You might be crucial individual in the whole Six Degrees of Separation chain.

Whether you’re a friend of a friend, a hospital administrator, or just someone who loves a good mystery — you might be the missing link in something cheesy, romantic, and unapologetically gay. If you’ve ever believed in chance encounters, romance, or the science of connection, you know it’s possible. Evidence that it’s possible? Probably all the B romance movies. And bit of social sciences mixed in.

You can read on the full story that i have designed to be able for him to identify with the experience. Or you can check the quick identifiers below and send few of your friends, professionals or buddies link to this page. One of the 6 connections will be the one just next to R***. You just need to get me there. Send this on. Say to someone “Hey, this is interesting story, does the description ring a bell?”

Quick Identifiers

Me and R*** met in a place with pool, saunas, lots of people drifting in and out ( I know, eeew, but you can get over it) on the 10th of August 2025 between 7:00 and 13:00 of Spanish time. We kept each other company for six hours. R*** is originally born in Ireland, now lives in Aussies. That’s where he get’s his Australian lilt. He is mid-170 cm tall, light colored eyes in the blue/golden blue spectrum. He has got neat beard, hair trimmed on the side with longer top – on the ginger/copper side of color. He works in the medical field managing more than one department across several hospitals (I am trying to be bit vague here). When he left he wore a designer beige t-shirt suggesting his choice of fashion is certainly not Primark. He had couple of distinctive habits. He would use a type of a loud signal that got people’s attention or just made cracks in the tiling (kept here vague for the same reasons) and he would be buying drinks in twos.

Take a look at the summary list— all it takes is to look around and see who fits:

  • We met in a place with a pool, saunas, and a steady flow of people on 10 Aug 2025 between 07:00 and 13:00 (Spain time). I can provide better detail if you ask.
  • R* is Irish-born, lives in Australia, and has a light Australian accent.
  • Mid–170 cm tall, light blue/golden-blue eyes.
  • Neat beard, ginger/copper hair, sides trimmed with longer top.
  • Works in the medical field managing more than one department across several hospitals.
  • Left wearing a designer beige t-shirt — definitely not Primark :)
  • Two distinctive habits: using a loud, attention-getting signal (kept vague intentionally) and always buying drinks in twos.

If you think you know him — or know someone who might — share this page. Say: “Hey, this is an interesting story. Does it ring a bell?” One of the six connections between us might just be you.

    Hey, I’m not the bloke but I wanted to give a heads up that you left identifying information (that was censored elsewhere) on this publicly accessible page: https://improbableman.com/for-friends-share-page/ including first name, and the signal he used.

    i found this page as a non-techy public user browsing on mobile.

    There was also mention of the word “hospital” on another page but I believe it was censored in another instance.

    Gl with your search.

      thank you very much for catching that. I am piecing this together at a speed and it got overlooked. I have not anonymised the identifiers. And as for luck, i have not found his SN profiles. They seem to be dead though.
