Penpal message / wishes:
Greetings and salutations! I’m a 60-year-old British gentleman living in picturesque Wales, UK. I’m seeking email penpals and friendship only, so if your motives lie elsewhere, I respectfully ask that you pass me by.
I’d like to hear from good-natured ladies and gentlemen from all walks of life who enjoy thoughtful and easy-going conversations.
Naturally, I expect an introductory email to be relatively short, but not so brief that it fails to include a basic self-introduction. If we move beyond the introduction, I would expect more substantial and worthwhile emails, but no mini-novels, please! I won’t even consider responding to short, perfunctory emails that clearly lack thought and effort.
Whilst email is my preferred mode of communication, I’m also open to live audio calls, preferably via Google Meet. That being said, it’s important we get to know each other first, as I’m not comfortable calling complete strangers. I'd like to make it clear that all voice calls are, and will always remain, completely optional.
Before contacting me, kindly consider the following:
• 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.
• Due to cybersecurity risks, I would prefer emails to be text only, please. All emails containing links or attachments from complete strangers will be immediately deleted.
• 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 introverted and easy-going person who appreciates a quiet home life. I’m also quite old-fashioned and tend to prefer life as it was during the 1970s and 1980s. Life back then was far from easy, but in many ways, it was a better time compared with today’s modern world. My social background is working class, 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 should we discuss? I’m open to a wide variety of subjects, from ordinary, everyday life to exploring some of life’s greatest mysteries. With that in mind, I’d rather avoid religion, politics, geopolitics, and anything related to culture-war issues. I do enjoy a good discussion, but those subject areas are far too contentious for me to consider.
To start the ball rolling, kindly introduce yourself. It would be helpful if you could also let me know some of the subjects you particularly enjoy discussing and those you'd rather avoid.
To set things in motion from my side, I’d like to suggest a few intriguing and thought-provoking topics we could potentially explore:
• 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, do you think this would be a good or bad idea?
If none of the above topics appeal to you, feel free to suggest others that interest you more.
Before concluding my advert, I’d just like to mention that I cannot promise I’ll reply to everyone, so please don’t take it personally if I don’t respond. For those I do reply to, you can typically expect my email within a few days. That said, if an email requires a longer and more considered response, I will almost certainly need a full week or possibly slightly longer before I’m able to reply.
Thank you for reading my advert. Peace and love to everyone.
Regards,
Alan.
