Hi there, I don't exactly know how to start this off but HELLO ! I am a 30 year old dude from Sydney, Australia. My IRL friends probably know its me posting, but my throwaways are all dwindling and reddit's soul has changed so much now so as to be utterly shit. So meh.

Recently I've been feeling very listless, a bit bored, and despondent of things in general and I don't know why. Many of my friends have changed cities, gotten married, started having kids, etc etc, and it feels like I am just floating here aimlessly wandering through life. Life moves way too fast for it's own damn good !

So I thought making a NEW friend might help that. I am a bit 'wary' however of online friends, sometimes it feels a bit artificial, but other times an online friend can be someone you can trust in and confide in more-so than an IRL friend. Which leads me to my second point - we don't have to talk everyday ! Sometimes there's an expectation or pressure of talking constantly, but we don't have to do that - it leads to unnecessary expectation and sometimes feelings are hurt.

Also just to point out - I am not looking for anything sexual or any lewd chats. Simply good conversation with a soon to be good friend.

Anyway that's enough rambling, I will tell you a bit about me:

• I have two degrees in the hard sciences
• I have been playing guitar for the past 5 or 6 years but I am still pretty terrible. It's a dream of mine to produce my own music.
• I have a prominent scar on my right hand
• I used to be able to run a sub 25 minute 5K - this is something I want to be able to do again !
• I absolutely love my electronic music and music in general - there's no genre I wont listen to !
• I can read and write in a non-Roman alphabet

About you :

• In that 25 - 35 age bracket
• Somewhat disillusioned with life (just like me !)
• Male or female, I really don't mind !
• Similar timezone to me would be nice :) I am in GMT 10
• A love for music and the arts would be appreciated
• I am happy to trade pictures of myself and eventually move to another platform like Signal or WhatsApp.

If this has piqued your interest please do send me a DM or a chat request. Cheers =)
