37 m dog dad looking for friends and hangout. Message me 😀

You know what I mean

I know this is technically a 30+ group, so I’ll get that out of the way first. I’m 27, and if that automatically makes this the wrong place for me, totally fair.
I just tend to connect really well with people a little older than me. I like maturity, life experience, people who know themselves a bit better, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
I’m 6’1, Pakistani Canadian, born and raised here, pretty grounded, easygoing, and more into real conversation than surface level small talk.
I’m really into psychology, human behaviour, relationships, attachment, healing, family dynamics, goals, careers, random life theories, and all the stuff that shapes why people become who they are. I can also be completely unserious and joke around for hours, so I’m not trying to turn every coffee into therapy lol.
I work long shifts and genuinely like working, but I also think life is way bigger than a job title. I’d rather have a good career, good people around me, experiences, travel, a peaceful home one day, and actually enjoy the life I’m building.
I’m pretty traditional in some ways when it comes to how I treat people. I like taking initiative, making plans, being dependable, holding doors, making sure someone got home safe, remembering the little things, and actually showing up when I say I will.
At the same time, I like people who have their own life, opinions, goals, career, interests and independence. I think the best connections are when neither person has to shrink themselves.
I’m especially drawn to people who are self aware or on some kind of growth journey. Nobody needs to have themselves perfectly figured out, but being able to communicate, take accountability, laugh at yourself, and actually grow from things goes a long way with me.
I’m open to friendship, grabbing coffee, food, walks, checking out something around Calgary, or just having someone new to talk to. If I happened to meet a woman and there was mutual attraction and something deeper developed naturally, I’d be open to that too, but I’m not trying to force anything.
Mostly just looking for good people who actually want to meet, talk, and build a real connection instead of saying “we should hang out sometime” forever.
If you’re 30+ and don’t mind me being 27, feel free to message me.

So this might sound weird but as a 32F, originally from Ontario, with no kids and no friends in Calgary… and going through a divorce, I found myself wondering if there were others going through this as well. It’s funny to see the insta trend post of millennials going through a divorce, going to therapy, getting fit, etc. but if you’re like me, it can be incredibly lonely.

So I thought I would come on here and see if there were other ladies who resonate with me, and would want to meet up. Think of it like peer support lol not that we’re going to just meet up to vent, but even just knowing that someone is going through something similar while not having to explain any of it can be comforting.
