Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It depends who you ask my reasons not to date:

  • I would tell you it's because my spouse and I have been together for almost 30 years and, well, I have yet to find someone else able to make we want to engage in anything potentially meaningful.
  • I imagine some people would say it's because I'm getting too old (and bald, and too grumpy) to be allowed to have fun, or just that I'm too ugly.
  • Finally, some extremely fascinating persons, may tell you I don't date because I'm a giant lizard wearing a human costume that is afraid my true nature would be revealed if I ever were to become intimate with another human being. Obviously, if it was still among us, my pet hamster would tell you that's non-sense :p
