(inserted the phrase from the Billy Joel Song there)

I’m not looking for love, not looking for an OAp and I'm not wanting to meet you in real life unless you live or often travel to where I live. I hoping to make a wonderful online friend, but that does not mean a mediocre friendship is what I am willing to settle with. I want you to be at your best to be my conversational equal with dialogue that rolls with the vibe. Sometimes we can be clever, but not always, sometimes we just want to vent, sometimes one of us is feeling down and all we need is a little sunshine. I'm not looking for a convo partner to be fake or always empathetic, but you certainly are 100% real. Great if you are curious (maybe a little nosey) to want to talk about, or ask me, whatever is on your mind. If I need to pull details from you for equal and engaged conversation, then this will, like all other situations like it, not work out because low effort gets you nowhere with me. And oh yeah, we're healthy, adults hoping for our best lives, so if we want to take conversation to those adult topics, then let's have it happen organically, unforced.

YOU need to be that source of feminine energy I want to think about when I cannot message you. The smile you have lights up the room. I'm not asking you to be a selfie queen, but, the selfies you take of yourself and share occasionally fuels the warmth. Healthy, fit, optimistic...you only look good, you feel good too.

ME... I’m an older, confident man with his real life put together, I'm no improvement project, I've taken charge of myself and my life putting the shitty past behind me. I'm not online looking for a cure for a dead bedroom, I don't have a dead bedroom. I seem to make better connections with women that what I do with men. Teh attraction thing does factor a bit into this. In my mid-50s I've not stopped having wandering eyes. I appreciate intelligece and emotional intelligence more, but try to convince me that looks does not count.

I'm not into all day, all evening, late night and all weekend chats. I have the normal 9-5 career thing going, I've a wife I still connect with, I've a decent social life too, the NHL hockey playoffs are on so guess what I'm watching most nights. I’m 100% man, 5-foot-11, blue eyes, healthy, active and in shape, trying to make that silver fox look work for me. I’m not an introvert...being called shy is something I do not ever recall being known as, but I'm no horny idiot. My body, brains and attitude are all working well.

So, read enough? Let's talk. It all starts with you and your introduction

I must be insane; I keep coming back to this place to try again! I’m not looking for love, not looking for an OAp and I'm not wanting to meet you in real life unless you live or often travel to where I live.

I just an online situation, but that does not mean I have to cope with something only good. I want you to be at your best to be equal to this little thing we can have over time. I'm looking for conversation that just rolls with the vibe. Sometimes I feel clever, but not always, sometimes I just want to vent, sometimes I'm feeling down and all I need is a little sunshine. I'm not looking for a convo partner to be fake or always empathetic, but you certainly are 100% real.

YOU need not be intellectual; I am not looking to solve world problems though you are curious (maybe a little nosey) to want to talk about or ask whatever is on your mind. Is it too much to ask that I want you just the way you are (woven the Billy Joel song in there)? If I need to pull details from you for equal and engaged conversation, then this will, like all other situations like it, not work out because low effort gets you nowhere with me. And oh yeah, we're healthy, adults hoping for our best lives, so if we want to take conversation to those adult topics, then let's have it happen organically, unforced.

YOU need to be that source of feminine energy I want to think about when I cannot message you. The smile you have lights up the room, the selfies you take of yourself and want to share occasionally fuels the warmth. Healthy, fit, optimistic...you only look good, you feel good too.

ME... I’m an older, confident man with his real life put together, I'm no improvement project, I've taken charge of myself and my life putting the shitty past behind me. I've never changed from my younger years; I still have wandering eyes. It can be said that intelligence is the sexiest part of a person but try to convince me of that when you might look good to me. Yes, the attraction thing still counts, stupid of anybody to deny that but with me, emotional intelligence must be there too.

I'm not into all day, all evening, late night and all weekend chats. I have the normal 9-5 career thing going, I've a wife I still connect with, I've a decent social life too, the NHL hockey playoffs are on so guess what I'm watching most nights.

It seems things become worse after covid. We can get out and enjoy the world and get to meet each other but, many have not read the news.

I'm looking for conversation that just rolls with vibe. Sometimes I feel clever, but not always. Sometimes I just want to vent and sometimes I'm having a down day and I just want to reach out to somebody happier who can lift up my mood. I'm not looking for a fake, empathatic person, you certainly are 100% real. You need not be intellectual, not needing you to be a bona fide nerd or a book worm. I want you just the way you are (woven the Billy Joel song in there) knowing you'll get a real and honest person on the other end of your messages. If I need to pull details from you for an equal, engaged conversation, then this will not work for me because low effort gets you nowhere from me. The space is wide open to talk about anything, everything. Oh yeah, we're adults so if we want to take conversation "there" then let's have it happen organically, unforced.

As for who am I looking for to befriend...well you need to be that source of feminine energy that still turns heads. By Reddit standards, you are that 8+ out of 10. The smile you have lights up the room, the selfies you take of yourself sets you apart from the others. You can make conversation happen, and can keep the convo going becuase you have this mix of natural curosity and no shortage of things you can say with years of living life.

I'm an older, confident man who is put togehter in real life, I am no longer an improvement project. I have taken chargte of myself and my life getting healthier and happier putting the shitty past behind me. I've never changed from my younger years, I still have wandering eyes. It can be said that intelligence is the sexiest part of a person, but try to convince me of that. The attraction thing still counts with me as much as there is emotional intelligence.

I'm not going to get into all day, all evening, late night and all weekend chat access. I have the normal 9-5 career thing going, I've a wife I still connect with, I've a decent social life too, the hockey playoffs are on and being Canadian you can guess where I'm parking myself most nights. I’m 100% man, 5-foot-11, blue eyes, healthy, active and in shape, trying to make that silver fox look work for me. For certain, I’m not an introvert…being called shy is something I do not ever recall being known as, but I am no idiot. My body, brains and attitude are all working well.

So, read enough? Let's talk. It all starts with you and your introduction.

Why deny myself what I want...people say the brain is the sexiest part of a human being, but try to convince that to a man like me who wandering eyes. The attraction thing still counts as much as your emotional intelligence. What is fantastic about you that will have me wanting to keep you to myself?

I'm looking for conversation that just rolls with vibe. Sometimes I feel clever, but not always. Sometimes I just want to vent, sometimes I just want to reach out to a happy, wonderful person. You need not be intellectual, not needing you to be a bona fide nerd or a book worm. I want you just the way you are (woven the Billy Joel song in there) knowing you'll get a real and honest person on the other end of your messages.

I've had enough of connections that doesn't last longer than the overnight sleep I'll not sacrifice. I'm not going to promise all day, all evening, late night and all weekend chat access. I have the normal 9-5 career thing going, I've a wife I still connect with, I've a decent social life too, the hockey playoffs are on and being Canadian you can guess where I'm parking myself most nights. I’m 100% man, 5-foot-11, blue eyes, healthy, active and in shape, trying to go for that silver fox look. I’m not an introvert…being called shy is something I do not ever recall being known as. My body, brains and attitude are all working well.

So, read enough? Let's talk. It all starts with you and your introduction.

I'm hoping to befriend a sane, very healthy younger lady for some fun as the summer season comes and the weather heats up. Being attractive adn stylish is always important but your being somebody that can be sociable and conversational face-to-face (not just when texting) is even more important to me.

I prefer clean cut, naturally attractive with a corporate/office career who cleans up well yet is comfortable in casual situations. I’m an older white man with a bit of a dad bod not falling apart. Located in Vancouver and the North Shore. I'm not in a rush to meet right away so there is time to build a connection. I ignore any low effort messages. You need to have the ability to host.

I’m 55 and really, I should be considering retirement. I do not care about my career anymore, so here is where I am posting to find a chat friend. I could talk about work stuff, but I’d rather talk about something else more interesting. Anything else that others have on their minds will work for me. I have no loss for opinions to share, even if they are wrong.

I'm looking for somebody who is natural at making conversation. Being shy or being introverted does not describe you. We can talk about what is going on, all the stuff that happens in the news, try to solve something that we cannot talk about with those in our lives, it is wide open. I know we are busy in our lives but we can make this engaging. I'm not introverted, in fact quite the opposite but it is something of a contradiction that I do not like talking about myself unless others are curious enough to ask things about me.

Yes, I'm married but I am not a parent. I'm paying attention to my health being on a weight loss journey, lost 25 pounds already and but half the way to my goal. I like working out, I guess I must knowing I also have a love for food. Hockey is my sport and I'm all ready for the playoffs though my teams will not make it this year. I'm a non-smoker, a wine and whisky drinker, rock music of the 70s to the turn of the millennium is the classic rock in my earbuds when I walk anywhere. My only hobby, other than the odd afternoon nap, is to travel and see other parts of the world. I've a bucket list of places to go to but at the same time, I could be content to just being lady under shaded trees on some tropical beach.

So, are you game? Say hello!

I am not lonely. I am here hoping to befriend another mature lady with emotional intelligence to have as good of a virtual connection one can have from Reddit.

I'm not looking for all day, all night, all weekend conversations. I'm not somebody that gives constant attention though I will put in the effort to make the converstation in and amongst everything else I do. For certain, I do not want to be the one prompting the conversation just to keep the talk flowing. My problem is that there is something habitual about the others who talk to me who seem to have this need to vanish. If ghosting is part of conversation skills, then please bypass me.

Those that are chatty, have some natural curiosity about anything and everything, somebody that is more the deeper thinker willing to engage in less than the "watercooler" topics, and not being introverted is what I hope to learn about you. And for that matter, let's not forget you are somebody still feeling attractive in your own skin that needs some achnowledgement you still "got it" after all the family, career and life obigations you have.

So here is where you need to level up if you are compelled to talk to me. Have something worth saying when you message me and be ready to talk about things. Those who are inquisitive and engaging will capture my attention.

ME...I'm married but I am not a parent, never fathered children but I'm that "uncle" to all the family and the toddlers of the friends who have children. I'm 5'11", greying hair, blue-gray eyes, grey trimmed beard. I do not smoke, I’m a whiskey drinker and appreciate a bottle of red wine with wonderful company. I'm not a fantasy role player, I'm not a gamer. I'm easy going, not stupid, very much a positive, confident man, 100% hetero (that means not gay) always willing to engage in a good conversation unless I’m focused on my work tasks or watching a hockey game (I'm Canadian after all). What is now classic rock music now is what is on my radio and what I shuffle on the iPod when I’m working out but music tastes are eclectic and what you like I might enjoy. Being shy and reserved is something that does not describe me. Right now my mindset is in pre-mode. My only passion, other than getting in the odd nap, is to travel and see other parts of the world. I've a bucket list of places to go to but at the same time, I could be content to just being lazy under shaded trees on some tropical beach.

So, here's where you make or break my ability to have me pay attention to you...your contact and what you want to tell me about you needs to be compelling to read and to talk about. I'm from the west coast of Canada but that does not mean you have to be. At least you are in your mid 30s or older.

Unlike everyone else that posts here, I am not lonely, I do not suffer from a dead bedroom, I am not treating my wife as if she was not a roommate. I am here seeking an experience...hoping to befriend another mature lady with some emotional intelligence to have as good of a virtual connection one can have from Reddit.

Unlike most of the other Redditors that are posting in these rooms, I am not lonely. I do not suffer from a dead bedroom, I am not treating my wife as if she was not a roommate. I am here seeking an experience...hoping to befriend another mature lady with her life together for as good of a conversation and a virtual connection one can get into meeting somebody on these sites.

If you ever knew me in real life, I'm an easy going, not stupid, very much a positive, confident man, 100% hetero (that means not gay) with a dry sense of humor always willing to engage in a good conversation unless I’m focused on my work or watching a hockey game (I'm Canadian after all). What is now classic rock music now is what is on my radio and what I shuffle on the iPod when I’m working out but music tastes are eclectic and what you like I might enjoy. Being shy and reserved is something that does not describe me, if you can be open and vulnerable to share with me I will warmly oblige. Right now I'm putting my mind into retirment mode.

I do not need to write an, "oh woe is me" post because I am not feeling lonely, I'm not suffering from a dead bedroom. I'm however a person that seeks experience, somebody that needs to be tempted a little by somebody equal parts intelligent and provocative.

The conundrum is what many others say in their posts...the connection often does not last beyond the night's sleep we get. I'm not looking for all day, all night, all weekend conversations. I'm not somebody that gives constant attention though I put in the effort to make the conversation in and amongst everything else I do. For certain, I do not want to be the one prompting the conversation just to keep the talk flowing.

ME: Married, 5-foot-11, graying hair, blue-gray eyes, gray beard kept trimmed. Not a smoker but I’m a whiskey drinker and appreciate a bottle of red wine with wonderful company. I'm not a fantasy role player, I'm not a gamer, I'm here to be me and only me. If you ever knew me in real life, I'm an easy going, not stupid, mostly positive, a quietly confident man, 100% hetero (that means not gay), always willing to engage in a good conversation unless I’m focused on my work or watching a hockey game (I'm Canadian after all). What is now classic rock music now is what is on my radio and what I shuffle on the iPod when I’m working out but music tastes are eclectic and what you like I might enjoy. Being shy and reserved is something that does not describe me, if you can be open and vulnerable to share with me, I will warmly oblige and be as warm as one can be in some virtual connection.

So, are you up for it? Say hello and let's source this out!
