I'm starting to lose my sanity. I'm in group chats, long text message threads, on social media, etc. I have a ton of passive communication with a ton of people every day. But I'm so sick of friendships and relationships and (dare I say) romantic/sexual stimulation coming from a fucking phone screen.
We're getting so caught up in staring at our phones for 6 hours a day and the power to connect with anyone anywhere in the world at any time with a couple button presses to a point where we've actually forgotten to spend time in person engaging with real humans. A fundamental human need. We're ignoring it so we can watch fucking tiktok videos. Its so pathetic.
On days when my mental health is in the can I notice my screen time it up at like 6-7 hours. No wonder. And then on the days where I get out an experience the world and I feel great my screen time is down to like 1 hour.
I'm human starved. Touch starved. Intellectual conversation starved. Fun starved. Affection starved. Comraderie starved. Friendship starved. Socially starved.
And yet, I can't find people to commit to doing anything in person. Going on a ride, going to the lake, going to a show, going to a jazz club, playing bar trivia, kayaking, longboarding, watching a movie, going bowling, going to a bar, playing pool, having a real conversation, WHATEVER.
I'm looking for a human female. One that is willing to MEET UP and do THINGS. Activities. Distractions that keep us away from our phone screens and give us that euphoric feeling like its 2005 again. Together. Is this so hard?
A non-transactional, genuine, heartfelt friendship where chemistry can develop and potentially turn into more (or not?). Be it friendly, romantic, sexual, none of the above, or all of the above, I'm opem to any direction.
Let's drink, laugh, cry, sweat, yell, make out, road trip, cuddle, shower together, ANYTHING. I just want to feel something from another human. Intimacy, affection, excitement, nervousness, arousal, stimulation, all of the things a smart phone doesn't give me.
Am I crazy?
34M, white, single, college educated, gainfully employed, live alone, intelligent, hobbies, friends, ambitions, opinion, sense of humor, liberal, 5'9, dark hair, green eyes, chubby/athletic.
You: 18-50, single, intelligent, nearby, good communication, willing to be spontaneous, ready to meet in person soon and not just going to be a fucking imaginary person inside my phone.
Respons with your age and location or I will ignore entirely. (It's not that hard. You put in some effort and I'll put in some effort.)
