Now tell me you didn't read that in the legend himselves voice (RIP, gone too soon).

Now here's the amazing opportunity Mr. Mays is promoting from beyond: Me! A lonely, slightly depressed, and unfortunately injured (my fault I was a total idiot....) me in search of friends to help get me out of my funk.

So here is what I'm looking for: You are female (I tend to get along better with women), somewhere in the range of 21-35, though preferably 24-33. You live in NYC (with preference to Manhattan and not too deep into outer boros (unless easily subway accessible) or Staten Island). You take care of yourself and your body. This doesn't mean only physically though that is a plus, but also mentally. We're all going through funks right now so hopefully you can be a ray of sunshine and positivity to shine on me, but you should also be comfortable with just venting both to me and me to you - two way streets and trust are important.

Speaking of trust, the last time I posted here I was inundated with all the catfishers and bots and no real people, and that hurt my emotions and my trust in the "system", despite kinda expecting it. If you respond to this, you should be willing to do a verification a la the way many subs here require it.

Now, here are some things about me which I hope you are interested in as well and could hopefully spur a friendship: I am a male (duh), average height and weight, way too out of shape for my liking (but again, injured so not much I can do right now). You saw the comments above about mental health, so that doesn't need to be repeated again. I live in Upper Manhattan and love it up here, though I always like going out to explore new places, new coffee shops, bars, parks, etc. I am self accepting in the fact that I am nerdy, geeky, and dorky, but in an adorable way. I am also an introvert, ISTJ/INTJ mix (for those who care), though these things do not define me. Since this is a two way street, I am also going to verify myself when you do.

ONE LAST VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I AM 100% VACCINATED AND EXPECT YOU TO BE THE SAME. IF YOU ARE NOT VACCINATED DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT REACH OUT TO ME. VAX UP. PERIOD.

If any of this is of interest to you, shoot me a message and lets see where things go! Again, COVID IS REAL AND PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE TAKEN FOR ANYTHING TO WORK OUT. THEREFORE, YOU MUST BE VACCINATED.

Hey, you got this far! Now one final instruction: If you want to message me, include your favorite pasta shape (bonus points for why) in the message
