Penpal message / wishes:
Where have all the genuine penpals disappeared to? You know the kind, those sincere individuals who seek friendship only and have no hidden agendas whatsoever. They enjoy good conversation and have the time, patience and enthusiasm to write proper emails of at least 400 words. In fact, most often write far more.
Almost all of the replies I receive these days come from scammers, catfish, and those erudite, literary geniuses who barely write more than a handful of words. Judging by my inbox, most don't even read adverts properly—if at all.
I’m not entirely sure how long I will continue advertising for, as the situation seems quite bleak. However, I still live in hope that there are genuine folks out there who seek the same as I do.
And now, after this rather awkward preamble, here is my advert...
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 will always welcome good-natured ladies and gentlemen from all walks of life who enjoy thoughtful and easy-going conversations.
Whilst email is my preferred mode of communication, I’m also open to live audio calls, preferably via Google Meet. However, it’s important we get to know each other first, as I’m not comfortable calling complete strangers. I'd like to make it abundantly clear that all calls are, and will always remain, completely optional.
Before contacting me, kindly take the following seriously 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 easy-going and tolerant 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. 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. 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 (health permitting), 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. 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 enjoy discussing and those you'd rather avoid.
If you’re interested, here are some thought-provoking topics we could potentially discuss:
• In a world dominated by CCTV, facial recognition, and other forms of digital surveillance, is privacy becoming obsolete?
• What are the positive and negative implications of artificial intelligence?
• Would you ever consider uploading your entire consciousness to a computer in order to live forever? If so, what would be the implications?
• Are paranormal phenomena hoaxes, natural events, or something else?
• Let's explore the scientific explanations of mystical and spiritual experiences.
• Is the simulation theory a credible alternative explanation for the nature of reality?
• Let's discuss the strange dichotomy between the Fermi paradox and UFO sightings.
• Who decides what is right and what is wrong?
I fully appreciate that not all of the above subject areas will appeal to everyone, so if you have any other topics you’d rather discuss, I’m always open to suggestions.
Before concluding my advert, I’d like to mention that the above email address is not intended for long-term correspondence. For anything long-term and for all Google Meet audio calls, I’d prefer to use my personal email address, which I will share in time.
Thank you for reading my advert. Peace and love to everyone.
Regards,
Alan.
