    It’s a numbers game. Spend enough time with enough people and someone’s going to like you. I’m a whale and I’ve had partners. I was only normal body weight when I met the first one, next few have been after I went over 100 KG and then around 135. Okay last one was a gold digger but the others were when I was poor (which I am again now lol)

    Oh and I’m a sarcastic asshole too, so my personality itself is quite an acquired taste too. It does, however, help that I can keep a conversation going regardless of what the topic is or whether I know you… Especially helps with people who take time to get out of their shells. It’s funny because I’m actually an introvert but as long as you don’t catch me in recovery mode, you could never tell.

    The ADHD also helps though. One of the very few areas where it does.

    I do think book clubs are still a thing tho. Maybe you need to move to a bigger town?

      I’ve had plenty partners, but I met them in the bars I no longer wish to attend regularly due to price of the drinks and that I’m successfully drinking a normal amount and I don’t need to be getting drunk every night again. So the question becomes where meet now? Doesn’t help that I refuse to be scammed by the spyware dating apps.

      We sound pretty damn similar (except I’ve always been poor haha). ADHD and all.

      Book clubs is a maybe but I read on my own time, and only things I’m really interested in (ADHD lol). Still though, how find? Lemmy is my only social media.
