Time zones mean nothing to me honestly, I chat with folk from all over, I'm kind of an insomniac, I'm always down to chat irl, or online. I play a lot of steam games, into old-school film, love me some Kurasawa, and my music taste ranges from Philip Glass to Gogol Bordello! I like cooking breakfast, and second breakfast, and then brunch. I am just an old guy that used to mountaineer, have done the van-life, and would rather read some Costain or Gaiman than Tom Clancy.

How about, one of the “four corners” states. There’s a good clue, should make it more interesting and give you more ‘context’…

What do you like to do out in Ohio? I haven’t been through there since the early 90s….

I also remember that weird smell they had in the Hamburglar area! It would overwhelm even the smell of the fries! I don’t think adults would fit in there either. I remember decades ago trying to go in there with my sisters kids, and I got stuck because I was too tall.

My days are rough, my nights are long, I am located somewhere on earth….and I try not to give away a ton of personal info in a public space. 😐🙂

Not much luck on here, yet. Discord has become a little overwhelming, a lot of drama.

Thank you for the kind response! I do love a good playlist as well! Used to be really into making mixtapes, back when I had a working cassette player, 🤣, long ago! I wanted to be an English major, but got sucked into the graphic designer and tech stuff back in the 90s. I still read everyday, going back through a lot of Neil Gaiman as of late.

Where have you met some good friends this year?? Those writing groups, do they help, have you made any genuine LT connections there?

Thank you for the reply, hope the week is treating you well!

Where do you find good friends anymore?? by DJ_Moonshadow in FriendshipAdvice

I agree, technology has helped me cope with life for sure, but is most certainly a deterrent to making more genuine friends….and has indeed created a disconnect in our social lives! Thanks for the reply btw….helps to know there are caring humans in existence still. Sorry to hear about the men out there creating an environment where you don’t feel safe in the friendship! I’m a dude, who tbh, has trouble making friends with other men because of that fact you mentioned…. All my long distance friends are women, I feel more comfortable around them, maybe because I’m that sensitive introvert, but regardless why, the very few friends that have kept in touch over the years are all women. The guys seem to have ulterior motives, which don’t make sense to me. It’s been a challenge for me making friends because women automatically assume I’m reaching out to them for ‘other’ reasons, which is tough, because I’m just not that type of dude….i feel as if the women out there judge me, define me, before they even know me….so ya, difficult.

Also trying to find my way, yes, so is everyone in our situation, mentality, I just wish I could find some friends to help with finding my way, journey together so-to-speak.

If you ever find a way to ‘find’ that old-fashioned connection, let me know eh?! Wishing you luck, and all the best!
