I'm a 53 year old American living in Portugal. I'm demisexual, so I'm not looking for a flirty or sexual relationship. While that may come with time, I'm primarily looking for a connection on shared interests and where I might be able to be a mentor.

It would be amazing if you could be somewhat close to Portugal. Long difference conversations tend to fade. And I'd love for this to become something long term for the right person.

I'm interested in technology, programming, entrepreneurialism, science fiction, futurism, writing, travel, design, food, animals, environmental and social issues. I'm married and polyam. I've just started running again after being unable to due to a back injury for about 5 years.

I connect well with youthfully curious and creative men 18 to 30 years old. While sexual intimacy manifests differently for me because I'm demisexual, I am aesthetically drawn to more androgenous men (thinner, less body or facial hair). But, like I mentioned, I'm totally fine with this being a nonsexual relationship.

If you send me a very flirty message or have lots and lots of nudes in your profile, my anxiety might make it difficult for me to reply. I'm certainly not shaming anyone for doing that. But, if that's your strategy, then I'm not your person.

I'm somewhat involved in the furry community, but really as a creative and social outlet. I have VR and love playing board games and tabletop games.

Anyway, hugs and best wishes. Thanks for reading.
