I'm in Eastern timezone and mostly available late at night, like 11pm-2am, but sometimes in the afternoons. I'm only looking for online friendship and I won't trade pics. It's not that I don't have a desire for more but I am exceptionally ugly and mentally ill, so I know it's not in the cards for me. Just putting this out here so you're not getting your hopes up. I'm looking for a guy to talk to for the same reason you're looking for a girl to talk to; it just feels better talking to the opposite sex.

I'm politically progressive, atheist, feminist, and prefer being around other progressive people, even though I don't like to talk about politics that much because I find it gloomy. My main hobbies are reading (literary science fiction,) playing indie games on PC, listening to audio horror, and unfortunately watching way more youtube than I think is healthy. Mostly channels related to history in some way, right now it's Tasting History with Max Miller. I also watch a lot of stand up comedy on YT.

I'm a homebody but don't like it and love it when I get a chance to get out and do something. Go for a walk, a swim, craft show, museum, things along those lines. I don't watch much tv, and I don't watch movies at all, and a bad experience with my ex has made me dislike people who spend all their free time consuming media even though I'm honestly not much better.

I used to post ads here from time to time advertising that this is me but reactions to that were poor, and even the people I did enjoy talking to didn't seem to be into my avatar at all so I gave that up. I'm very depressed and this sort of escapism has been the only thing to keep me going for a while but even that isn't working anymore.

I know I'm not making a great case for myself as a chat partner, but I'm trying to be upfront about the fact that I have a lot of problems. Also, female privilege being what it is, I know that no matter how abysmal my ad is I will still get responses. I feel guilty about that but it is what it is, both sexes have some advantages they get in exchange for shit they have to deal with.
