Hey there, I'm a 53 yo, friendly, gay, professional guy here. I've always had close male friendships, right now though, because of relationships and life and moving away, I've lost most of my close male friends and need to rebuild and make some new ones. I find it hard to find guys open to a deeper, close, and open friendship.

I enjoy learning new things, I watch a lot of YouTube videos, I've learned some carpentry and built some cabinets for my kitchen. During the pandemic I got into Home Automation, and I've learned a little bit about software and microcontrollers and such. I also enjoy travel, cooking and restaurants. I'm not much of an athlete but I work on my fitness and would enjoy hiking or biking with someone or exploring the city. Love to grab a coffee and pick a neighborhood to explore.

Looking for guys wanting to get out of the house and be together in person, even if it's just running errands, playing catch on the beach, or a weekend camping.

I'm definitely a nudist at heart. I go to the Korean spas and nude beaches whenever I can. I think shared social nudity is important for bonding and I think the lack of male social nudity is one of the things that contributes to us feeling disconnected from one another. I've been nude with most of my male friends, both gay and straight, whether showering together after a workout or hanging out at a spa together on a Saturday afternoon. For a couple of years, I even had a nudist roommate, and we were naked pretty much all the time. For me, there's a feeling of acceptance that I get when I'm naked with others. Like, "here I am, flaws and all. I've got nothing to hide". It would be great to find a buddy to share that with.

I am in a long-term relationship with a great guy for about 8 years now so I'm not looking for a boyfriend or a sex partner. I'm definitely sex-positive, though and not shy.

I would enjoy conversation about current events, politics, philosophy, life milestones, troubles and triumphs. Most importantly I want to spend time and invest in each other to build a real friendship.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, lemme know. I'm happy to chat further, I'll answer anything truthfully. I live in San Francisco, and it would be great to find a guy close enough to meet up in person.
