**Connections š„².
Hey fabulous folks!
I realize an ad for friendship bucks the trend in here a little.. but I'm trying to cast a wide net.
Lately, I've been feeling a bit out of sync with my cis-male pals (and some cis-het-women pals too honestly). Thereās so much happening in the world, there are so many shifts happening in society and within queer spacesā and it's becoming harder to not be turned-off by their reactions to those social undercurrents. I donāt know. Iād rather not dive too far into it here, the point isnāt to complain or bash anyoneā¦ Iām just looking for fresh, fun and meaningful platonic connections preferably with non-cis-men (or cis-men who are feeling the same way about their friendships with other cis-men?).
The irony (and difficulty) here is that Iām a queer cis-man myself. The last thing Iād want to do is invade or take up space in spaces where I may not be welcome and, for the same reasons that Iām feeling out of sync with cis-men, I understand that others might feel hesitant to reach out. But maybe someone reads this at the right time and right place and decides āwhy not?ā.
Iām going to try and do this without outing myself to anyone in here that could potentially know me: Iām a pansexual cis-man, in my early thirties. Nerdy with niche interests that would without a doubt de-anonymize me if I listed them. Itās not much to go on, I know, haha.
If we can avoid responses along the ānot all menā lines or ājust get off TikTokā, Iād be most grateful. Both because that's the problematic kind of shit response that prompted this ad and also because it's ignorant in general....
