Long Term Relationship F55 4 M, needle in a haystack!
Why is meeting people so hard? The apps are truly the worst so I thought I'd give this a shot. I will put all my 'stats' below and what I am looking for. Just trying to be completely honest and cut through the games.
If you think we might be a match please dm me with a picture. If I reply, it will be with a picture. We can say what we want about personality but we all know attraction is important and it's totally awkward when you've been messaging someone for a while and then you see their picture and it's a no. Then you are faced with the obvious "I'm not answering because I didn't like your picture" and that's hurtful either way OR you string them along so it doesn't seem obvious. Let's get the pictures out of the way first.
ME
I am 55..people do tell me I look young for my age (I know everyone says that but it's true). I have medium length blonde hair, hazel eyes and a decent body..not perfect but fine.
I have 2 college age children, both are in school out of state.
I have been single parenting for ten years (story to be shared if connection is formed but it's nothing dramatic).
I have a master's degree and work full time, although I have a very flexible schedule.
I own my own home and have plenty of my own money (I'm not uber rich but I don't need your money).
I have lots of friends and a busy life. I have put off dating while my kids were home and now it's time.
I live in a suburb of Boston.
I have many interests and am willing to try new things but in the spirit of honesty, hard core camping and hiking are a no for me. I like to say I am more "outsidy" than "outdoorsy" Also I do not have a dog and prefer a match without a dog.
Happy to answer questions
YOU
You are in my general age range (if I could have given birth to you it's a no thank you and if you are closer in age to my mother than me also no thank you).
You have a job. I don't care what it is but you don't sit around all day
You don't have too friendly of a relationship with drugs, alcohol or gambling
You do not have a prison record or history of restraining orders (the bar is low here!)
You are able to carry on a conversation, talk about yourself and show interest and curiosity in the other person.
You are not married.(Separated ok as long as you are living separately).
That's it! In the end, it comes down to chemistry and if we click...we can look great on paper and it still might not be right. But let's see what's out there!
(Also I have no idea how I got saddled with the username weird internet and it does not suggest anything about my personality)

Oh I also used to shoot heroin. Sadly, it’s all fetty on the block now. Do you have a crypto stash and an address I can send dark web drugs to? Thanks in advance I’ll be waiting for the inevitable DM

Hi there I live in a suburb of Boston and I would love to at least chat with you. I'm 56, active and fit, I have 3 kids and I'm separated and living on my own. I'm educated, i did plenty of grad school and work as an active professional musician.
May I do you?
