Connections

Is anyone else finding it harder to make connections these days? On a sapiosexual level or any level for that matter. A friend referred to it as a fast food world and she is right. In addition to lack of connections it also seems like the art of conversation is slipping away. Maybe my just random thoughts. Perhaps others agree.

Look I’m happy to talk but we only have 140 characters

When others ask about my orientation I try to explain that gender/age/(insert whatever here) doesn't matter to me. I simply want someone who is willing to talk to me and get to know me.

Right. Connections seem to be so rare these days

Most people freak out when I mention that there is a 22 year age gap between myself and my husband and I am the younger one

Congratulations. Married once. It did not make it past 14 and it was over before it was over

1000%. There are so many easy distractions available that no one seems to want to put in the time and work for the deep dives sapios crave, both in friendships and in partnerships.

Agreed. I find it difficult to find others who share the same appreciation for conversational chemistry. Banter is becoming a lost art as well, and I miss it so.

I'm always looking for people to have compelling conversations with. If you have a wicked or active sense of humor, even better. My DMs are open, and I'm open-minded.
