40 [F4M] EST/Online - Looking for my pocket bestie
Looking for some consistent, high-quality chats and virtual company. Not necessarily looking for romance, but open to it with the right connection. I’d prefer someone with a high degree of availability who also likes to communicate through text-based platforms (no Snapchat though). I don’t mind an occasional phone or video call but my kids are always around and they’re super nosy so voice notes or phone calls aren’t my preferred method of communication haha.
About me:
I am freshly turned 40 and facing midlife wondering how I got here. I’m a full time working single mother to two kids (13 and 10) living in SW PA. I’ve been single pretty much since my marriage ended in 2020 and I’ve taken this time to learn more about myself including who I really am as a person and what I want and will not tolerate. The boundaries are strong and I’m no longer afraid to enforce them. I have a BA in psychology and work in the social work/human services industry. I’m a USAF veteran and a photographer of almost 15 years (started on Nikon, I now have a Sony mirrorless). I have played World of Warcraft since 2007. I enjoy writing poetry and reading sci-fi and fantasy. I’m also a big true crime aficionado. I enjoy a big range of music but am drawn more to stuff like emo/pop punk, metalcore, post-hardcore, etc. Physically I am about 5’8”, on the thicker side. I have a short pixie-style haircut, wear glasses, have facial piercings/stretched ears and am heavily tattooed.
Another thing to note about me is that I am neurodivergent AF with a high IQ. I was formally diagnosed with ADHD at 27 and with autism at 34. So basically I’m really smart but still somehow unable to make lasting friendships or remember to take out the trash.
I’m left of left politically and an atheist. Please no MAGA or anyone who “doesn’t do politics” or considers themselves to be “apolitical”. You can think the government sucks no matter who runs it but if you refuse to have opinions on things like basic human rights then we don’t have a difference of opinion, we have a difference of morals.
420 friendly, I have a MMJ card because that’s how it is legal in my state. I’m not into ENM/polyamory so please don’t message me if you’re not 100% single. I’m also not the fix or distraction you need from your dead marriage.
Thanks for reading!
