I've been looking to make more friends. Been separated for a long time, down 101 pounds with 39 to go...have my self confidence back, and want to meet women or a nice woman to spend time with. It's been 18 years since I've been in this "game" and am getting discouraged.

Wanting to meet for things like walking/hiking, meet for coffee, maybe go to movies, etc.

Here's my dilemma. What's with this sexting crap? I mean if I were in a committed relationship and we wanted to flirt with some pictures maybe that's one thing. But just meeting someone over the internet and never in person yet, and the next thing you know you've gone from getting regular face pics to naked pictures on your phone?!?

I know some of you would not mind this but that's not me or what I'm looking for. I genuinely want to become friends with someone by spending time together.

Are there still people out there like me or is everyone just looking for a hookup?

Yes, it is. After avoiding them at all cost for years I enjoy it now.

I get the avoiding them at all costs for years thing. I only have 1 photo from my highest weight and it's from the neck up. Still so hard posting on Facebook. I make my daughter post & tag me. lol

Alright y'all. I went out Friday and Saturday night to see some local bands and had a great time. This'll be a go to activity for me every once in a while.

Met some nice people and can't believe how many woman were flirting with me. [emoji50] One even bought me a drink...that has never happened before. I was kind of embarrassed at first but then felt like hey, I'll just go with it. Not used to that kind of attention. It was a great time out both nights. Here's some funny ladies I met.
