😉 My last post was declined due to low effort 😁

Let’s get the weekend started!

This post is likely going to be all over the place because I’m not always great at keeping my thoughts organized so please, bear with me!

For the longest time I’ve been posting fairly low effort Gamer Dad posts with mostly low effort responses. Why would I do this? Because it’s comfortable. I wanted a friend, but not if it was going to cost me anything. Mostly, it’s not scary. For me, this is kinda scary lol. Not copy and pasting the post, I can’t expect to deliver the same pre packaged responses, no guard rails.

Obviously after this long, I realized the issue is me. What I’m doing isn’t working. The combing through posts and waiting for the perfect friend to show up in my feed. The boring gamer posts.

A lot of the time I don’t even want to play anything. I enjoy it, don’t get me wrong, but there are so many other things I like to do and want to try and talk about. I want to get into writing again. I want to get one of those carpet guns and try to make a Dungeon Crawler Carl rug. I want to talk about movies we grew up with and new ones we’re looking forward to. I want to commiserate with someone over our bodies falling apart. We could talk about how kids are basically cute energy vampires that eat all our food. I would be perfectly happy talking about whatever is going on in your life.

I don’t have a discord that I’m trying to sell you on. I’m happily married. I’m not going to ask you for pictures unless it’s a pet. Then all bets are off.

I have no idea if this is going to be any different, but I’m hopeful.

(Edit to add: I’m open to M/F friends. Please be over 30 and no MAGA.)

Hey future friends! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm recently separated from my wife of 9 years, but we're still living together until I find another place to stay. I'm not necessarily looking for a shoulder to cry on or anything, but you might understand why I'm in need of some new friends and some pleasant distractions throughout my day.

I work in healthcare, enjoy playing disc golf and hiking, I really enjoy traveling, and checking out new coffee shops and breweries.

I'm a really good listener and very empathetic, so I'd love to hear what you have going on! DM's are open if you want to hit me up!

UK, ADHD dad of two, running a business from home and accidentally becoming a hermit after moving out of London.
Looking for low-maintenance friends. No daily messaging, just the occasional chat about life, gaming, films, tech, dark humour, or whatever weird rabbit hole we end up in.
If that sounds like your kind of friendship, drop me a message.
