Hello! I'm looking to connect with like minded people over specific things so I can learn about you and from you, and also share my life and what I know. My objective is always to have genuine interactions that over time lead to us becoming friends. I find it impossible to make friends on here when it just stays on polite chat and I'm the only person sharing.

I enjoy people who are talkative, and don't hesitate to share photos of what they're doing and experiencing. I seek out males because I have loads of female friends that I communicate with regularly, and I believe strongly in having a balanced circle. I'll give some ideas of the kinds of topics and interactions I'm looking for:

• Baking/cooking/sourdough/food preservation
  • Let's swap food pics and recipes, do fun food challenges, or cook together.
• Adjacent food things like restaurants, food events and festivals, and markets
  • Share pics, menus, tell me your favourite places to eat and what you order.
• Growing your own veg/backyard gardens
  • I've just started this and would welcome a buddy.
• Single people focused on living their own life and all the adventures it brings
  • Lets talk about cultural change, share our lifestyles and goals.
• Home improvement/DIY
  • Would love to to learn some skills from you!! I will show you my projects too.
• Landscapes/local areas/photography
  • Keen to share photos of where you live, parts of your city, sunsets/rises, and views.
• Lifting weights/fitness/being active
  • Not interested in gym selfies, but do want to share routines, goals, PRs, and motivation.

I'm not super interested in shows and streaming, gaming or anime. Strictly SFW.

There are photos on my profile, and I request that you be upfront with your own photo, your age and location. I'm happy to use reddit chat or Discord or Telegram. Generational differences are real, so keen to connect with people 34-45. I prefer to talk to people who are single without kids, as that is my circumstance and what I can relate to. It's fine if you have children, but I am not looking for that to be part of the conversation.
