I am female, in my mid-late 50's, Asian, enjoy deep conversations and getting to know people. I am very inquisitive and genuinely interested in getting to know who someone is so I ask a lot of questions in order to get to know and understand them. Its just who I am.

I prefer male friendships over female friendships. With men I find that I can be myself without worrying about hurting their feelings. With women, I don't like gossiping or talking about shallow things, which is what a lot of women I have been around have tended to do. I wouldn't mind creating friendships with women if we have the same interests and can talk about real things which it seems there are women like that on here. But to be clear, I am straight. I would like to meet men on here for friendships first then if things advance from there, maybe date. The most important thing for me is to make and continue friendships if possible.

I have not dated in a long time out of choice. I've been clearing my energy from negative past experiences. I like to be able to be myself and not have to pretend to be something or someone I am not. I like this platform because I feel like I can do that here. I also like to be able to be honest and not have to worry about anyone taking my choices personally, which is why I believe in being friends first before the expectations begin, which should be discussed anyway in time to be able to make the right decisions for ourselves.

I ultimately would like to find and live in an actual society where I can be and relate as my full human self where community is important and all help one another. And would like to find people of the same mindset and desire. (Thinking Island living or...)

I am open to conversations about anything and everything, and I don't want to fight with anyone or be attacked by anyone. I prefer mindful connections.

(Also, I am Asian American)
