I am not saying this is the primary reason I am trying to meet people. Companionship, understanding each other and all those really good reason. I am on board. There are times when, I think, “I wish I had someone here baking cookies with me at 2AM.”

This is a normal thought, right?

Bueller?

Swinging this back around since I have a bit of break before I am doing homework again!!

Anyone here feel like they can vibe with single mediocre adult who is completely unaccomplished and unremarkable? What’s up! High five! Let’s cheers with some cheap wine or non-microbrew beer. I am at the age where I often think, “I am getting to old for this.” However I am not so old I unironically say, “Get off my lawn.” That might have to do with the fact that keeping up a lawn is a rich-person-thing to a millennial like myself. Where can I get some drought tolerant natives?

Yes I am single, as evident by posting on the r4rs on reddit on a saturday night. You don’t have to want to date me to message me. This is reddit. Expectations are low. I appreciate good chatter. If you only want to text, be warned I am a very short or as them kids say, “dry” texter. I much prefer voice chatting. I have spent several years working ina capacity that demands very compact communication and it has bled over into my texting. It's not like I was a poet to begin with. I also hate typing messages on my phone. Just be warned.

Here is the part where I try to convince you I am like super cool but, I am pretty simple. If I ate a burrito and got to pet a dog or cat, I’m having a great day. I am a regular nine to five pencil neck and I feel fortunate to have this regular job that just pays me well enough to not be drowning in our existential financial crisis. My job involves assessments of natural resources and how to maintain them in a world of growing construction projects. That hippie bullshit everyone seems to hate. I love the performing arts a lot. I want to participate more in the performing arts. There was a time in which I though I was witty and funny and…. I took a stand-up comedy class. I even had a set. I know. I know. Me and all the other millennial males. Guilty. I was probably drinking a craft beer onstage too. I might be having my midlife crisis as I have gone back to school and I am trying to make some career changes and pivots. Health and fitness is really important to me. I workout regularly and eat lots of bland chicken salads. I will stop walking if there is a sighting of a cat or a dog I could possibly pet. I am in workaholic mode right now,(see midlife crisis) but I plan to break out of it and I really want to travel, read for pleasure and…….. have fun…. Again. Good god I sound sad. I swear. I smile. I never have the financial means to travel much or even live far from the region I grew up. I am trying to change that.

What am I looking for. Nice company? I want to do fun stuff with people. We don’t have to be romantically involved. I'm cool with you joining me over voice chat while you are in Finland (or really anywhere) and we are baking cookies together. I just want the opportunity to actually talk to someone and just see how we get along. It would be cool to find someone to join me at galleries, thrifting, eating something tasty, or anything.... really. Chess? Shaking our fists at the sky? Watching..... FRIENDS.... Wait. No, not that. Look, I am millennial as hell but, no.

If this matters to YOU. I am an atheist. I don’t want kids. Politically I am predominantly on the left. I traveled for three hours to canvas for Harris and I have not shame or regrets. I plan on getting more politically active and honestly, I don't know how to go about it. I really want to maximize my contribution. It would great if I could use my various skills in a way to help out. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears.

Since we are cf we don't need to share the cookies. I mention beer a few time and ironically I actually have never drank much at all (to poor to drink) and now that I can afford it.... I feel like I am too old to be drinking. Jokes one me?
