I am an easy going guy but until now I have been very shy. There are reasons
for which I may tell you later. Pretty much a loner but not an introvert. I
generally avoid confrontations. I am looking to start interacting with
people and having a circle of friends. I am tired of being alone.
I have just retired from a 50 year computer programming career. The last 28
have been traveling in customer consulting engagements. It has been a
grueling job and I am now ready to start living. I discovered that I had no
local friends and no local network. And had no idea of what to do now. I
started working out and loosing the 50 extra pounds I had carried around. I
am half way there. Working hard to get the rest of the way. (Strange as it
seems, I have stopped taking some of the meds. Exercise and eat right may
not be all bunkum.)
After I retired, my wife declared that she just was just not interested in
having sex. We had not had relations for a number of years. She then moved
into our rental house and we now live separately. She hinted that anything I
want to do discreetly was OK. I have yet to decide how to deal with this
long term. I am leaving the situation at status quo for now.
I have always been a DIY guy and I do most of my own house maintenance and
remodeling to the amazement of the local contractors. I was up fixing the
roof to a chorus of "A man your age should not be doing that!". (Hire us
instead!)
I am looking for friends I can talk with and share life experiences. Yes, In
spite of being a workaholic, I have a few. Also to start developing new life
experiences. Last but not least, friends-with-benefits would be appreciated.
I am interesting in almost anything except groups and S & M.
I am not much into the bar scene nor drinking. I do not smoke but, never
having smoked, I am not as militant about it as an ex-smokers.
Send a message if this strikes a chord.
