That isn’t how I would approach this. You’re not making friends to deal with touch starvation, you’re making friends to have friends. You find cool people who you like hanging out with regardless of any kind of sexual entanglement.

uhhhh wellllll that applies to other people in my opinion. Ive found that most of the people I interact with IRL whether at events or even in my day to day life I tend to not be interested in them as friends and tend to have difficulty maintaining friendships with them because my interests and beliefs conflict with theirs. I have a very overpowering set of beliefs and a very niche set of interests and if someone doesnt align with me on those things ? I have found that it is very difficult for me to remain friends with them no matter what I or they do. It just is what it is for me I guess. Nothing wrong with me or them - it just is what it is 🤷🏿‍♂️. We can all be interested in whatever we want to be as long as it doesnt harm other people or other beings, right? Right. So as for me I have very specific interests and beliefs and I have found that I, surprisingly, connect far more with the people I meet online than I do with most of the people Ive met IRL because I tend to go to online communities that cater to those niche beliefs and interests online. The average person I have interacted with th IRL tends to have no idea what Im talking about when I talk about these niche things. Online interactions have been more of a breath of fresh air for me than I thought they would be…

Also lol. ‘Entanglement’ . Will Smith .

That’s because that is extremely creepy. If you’re after touch/sex from the start you’re probably better off just dating and making that clear.

…Ya … I justt know what I need from someone and if I cant get it from them? Ill just leave them be and wont bother them anymore. I am not here to force interaction with anybody and I dont have anything good to say about anybody that tries to force interaction . In my opinion only those who force interaction with others are creeps.

Occasionally something else grows out of that but if you’re going into with ulterior motives you’re unlikely to find success. I’ve known these women for a long time before anything sexual happened and I wasn’t looking for it when it did. I think the reason they were comfortable with me is because I’ve always been open about my stance on relationships and I’ve never tried anything with them or anyone else in our group so they felt safe with me. When something did happen I paused it to set clear expectations about what we did or didn’t want out of the situation to ensure no one would have any regrets. So far things have worked out. We don’t hook up every time we see each other but it’s nice when it does happen.

That was genuinely wholesome. Thank you . And thanks them. Im proud of yall 🥺🫂🫂🫂

Yes, the best way to meet people is to go out and meet people. Not everyone is going to click with you but it’s important to try and when you find someone put the effort in to build on those connections. It isn’t going to all come at once. It takes a lot of energy but in the end it’s worth it.

yuuup…just gotta keep on and keep on puttingt myself out there. Its a long and hard path I think we can all agree?..but I think Ill keep on going down on it…Hopefully I meet the right people for me just as you have. 🤘🏿

Thanks for replying
