I have just got to the end of Hinge and Bumble, which as I live in NYC, seems like the end of the internet. No more people nearby... So as I look for any other way to try to meet the love of my life/ and or make new friends, I stumbled on this reddit. It does look like men get no messages here but nothing ventured nothing gained.

I am originally from the UK, i've been here in NYC for 25 years. Divorced, and about to be an empty nester. I used to be super intelligent, had a genius level IQ when 14, but who knows what that means now 37 years later. It's a cliche I know, but i'm not like anyone else you've met. I work in tech but don't have a big smart phone, i don't have any social media presence, I recently gre my hair long and dyed half of it blonde. I have painted my nails for a few years. Doesn't help my love life as even my optician assumed I was gay. I read voraciously and use long words. I spell words with a U in then, my sense of humour can be too much for some people. I am self-deprecating, extremely left wing liberal, and an atheist. I still play video games and have many unplayed boardgames. I dont have a car, i never caught a fish. I'm looking for a new therapist as i've taken a lot of care over my mental health the last few years. I'm not ugly, or obese, i'm not unhappy with my life. I try to embrace absurdism as it seems the best way to look at the world. I have no baggage, I'm not angry with the world. I love smiling and laughing. I watch mostly British TV. I cancelled netflix because of Dave Chappelle's transphobia.

So what am i looking for? I'm not lonely, but there are things that are better when done with some one else. One of the reasons i got to the end of dating apps is that I hardly ever swipe right. So many people seem so far away from what i'm looking for, I don't know if who i'm looking for exists, I don't know who it is. im thinking of doing speed dating in the autumn as i don't know how else to meet people. I go to wework most days and i'm 20 years older than everyone else there. So here I am , typing this knowing that most probably no one will ever read it, but at least till i get a therapist, it's good for me to put into words what I am and what i'm trying to do and put my thoughts down into words. If you do read this, and fancy getting to know a Brit who will introduce you to great British TV, drop me a DM. Im also thinking of signing up for the unlimited movie pass so anyone who wants to join me watch lots and lots of movies, get in touch too.
