I Feel Uncomfortable

Because I'm a male over 50. Now don't get me wrong, I've fought to get to this age and I'm working on more. But here's why I feel uncomfortable. It's difficult to make friends online when you're an older male, in a lot of cases. I've never been close to my male friends and have always felt a closer connection to women.

But online, it feels like and I may be wrong, that if you're over 50, single and male and you talk to women, a lot think you're out for one thing and one thing only. So, I tend not to offer friendships on here or online a lot, leaving it to the other to make that move. That way they don't feel pressured by some old perv. lol

I'm a gamer, I tend to write WAY too long of entries and my opinions aren't always liked, but I try to understand others points of views, I try not to judge anyone and I do like making connections. No, this isn't a pity me, offer me friendship ploy, it's more like a "I need to get it off my chest" semi-rant.

For any who have read this, thanks.

I've always been closer to men my entire life.
Not all think men are out to get just one thing. Yes, some are, as I've seen some women are.
Thankful for some great friends I've made here.
Best wishes to you!

@JerseyGal Thank you kindly and yes there are great people here, some I've met, including you and others I have yet to meet. Just new and restarting is fun and you're right not all are out for one thing, but it's the ones that are or just trolling that make it difficult for those that aren't.

Again, thank you for the best wishes.
