Penpal message / wishes: Greetings and salutations! My name's Alan. I’m a 60-year-old British gentleman living in picturesque North Wales—the land of rolling hills, rugged mountains and 13th-century castles.
I’m seeking email penpals and friendship only, so if your motives lie elsewhere, I respectfully ask that you pass me by. If you're a good‑natured lady or gentleman who enjoys light-hearted and thoughtful conversations, it would be a pleasure to hear from you.
Generally, I prefer writing emails that range between 400 and 700 words. If we discuss thought-provoking topics, I don’t mind writing more, but I rarely exceed 1,000 words. I would appreciate replies that reflect a similar level of effort. Obviously, introductory emails are exempt, as they are expected to be relatively brief. Unreasonably short, perfunctory emails will always be ignored.
Before contacting me, kindly consider the following so we don't waste each other's time:
• Please don’t ask (or hint) for money, sponsorship or gifts. I'm on disability and skint, so there’s no point in trying. I don’t accept money or gifts either.
• I'm not a prude, but if you’re seeking inappropriate or lascivious discourse, I suggest you look elsewhere, as there’s nothing for you here.
• My inbox isn’t The Jerry Springer Show, so let’s keep things calm, polite and mutually respectful at all times.
A little more about myself: I’m an old-fashioned and easy-going person who appreciates a quiet home life. I come from an ordinary, working-class background, but I was fortunate enough to have received a good education many years ago. Life’s wear and tear has left me mildly disabled with arthritis, so I spend most of my time at home, with the internet being my primary window to the outside world. I’m straight, currently single and live alone. Nevertheless, at this stage of my life, I’m content with my lifestyle choice.
One of my favourite interests is photography and during the summer months, if my health permits, I like photographing the local scenery, wildlife, flora and various historic buildings. I've been interested in computers since the early 1990s and over the years, I've built and repaired my own systems. My most active interest is corresponding with email penpals, which is a hobby I've participated in for many years. In my spare time, I enjoy watching YouTube videos and DVDs.
So, what shall we discuss? I’m open to a wide variety of subjects, from ordinary, everyday life to exploring some of life’s greatest mysteries. That being said, I’d rather avoid religion, politics, geopolitics and anything related to culture-war issues. Regardless of the subject matter, I don't want to feel like I'm having to walk on eggshells with anyone. So, if you're someone who becomes easily upset or offended when presented with differing views, please don't contact me. It's not my intention to upset anyone, but I also have a right to my own opinions.
To start the ball rolling, kindly introduce yourself. Feel free to suggest any topics that interest you, so we can get a conversation started. I’m happy to explore most subjects—just nothing too bizarre, please!
To get things started from my side, here are a few thought-provoking questions we could explore, but only if you find the topics interesting:
• Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly integrated into our lives, but what are the implications of this technology?
• Are paranormal phenomena and UFO sightings hoaxes, natural events, or something else entirely?
• If the technology existed to upload human consciousness to a computer in order to achieve digital immortality, would this be a good or bad idea?
I cannot promise I’ll reply to every email I receive, so please don’t take it personally if I don’t respond. To those I do respond to, you can typically expect my email within 3–7 days.
Before concluding my advert, I’d just like to mention that I may be open to live voice calls, preferably via Google Meet. However, before considering this possibility, it’s important we get to know each other, as I don’t feel comfortable calling complete strangers. I'd like to make it clear that all calls are, and will always remain, entirely optional.
Thank you for reading my advert. Peace and love to everyone.
Regards,
Alan.
