52, Mid-Atlantic, open to good conversations and friendship
Greetings, gents! Hope you're well. I'm a 52yo easygoing cis queer fella interested in good conversations and cultivating a few friendships. I've been keeping up with the group for a few months and commenting here and there, but this is my first post.
Really enjoy wholehearted conversations and getting to know people, and I’m a big fan of common threads, deep dives, and fellas with wit and insight. I’m equally at home in a National Park, an art museum, or at a ballgame. Open to exploring philosophy and spirituality, and find that Whitman, Emerson, and the Transcendentalists offer quite a bit. Love a good poem by Andrea Gibson or Wendell Berry. Music interests run the gamut, but I’m particularly enjoying Noah Reid, Ruthie Foster, and Adeem the Artist these days.
I don’t have a gaming console or a Discord account, though I enjoy board and card games like Scrabble, Chess, Phase 10, and crosswords and other word games. If it matters, I’m a teddy bear type who enjoys the gym and always welcomes a good hike or ramble. I enjoy DIY projects and am learning more about gardening and landscape design. I’m currently in the Mid-Atlantic, but find myself increasingly open to a change of climate and context.
I think good friendships are rooted in what friends can share and explore together more than being just like each other. If you’re interested and a good communicator, feel free to reach out and introduce yourself. Thanks for reading, and cheers!
