Hey there! I am Rex. I'm a 36 year old dude whose part of the LGBTQ community. I just recently started getting on SL as an alternative to meeting people/making friends. I was hoping to find a group or individual people that are newbie friendly. It's hard for me to just jump into a conversation in the public areas because that's just not something that seems normal to do IRL (go up to a group of people on the street and just join their conversation). I was hoping that anyone could guide me to any groups/locations on SL that might be good to join (and that are active) for conversations.
Some of my interests include:
All things technology. AI, VR, Computers, House-wide Systems. The techier the better.
Gaming. Mostly into simulation/open world games but do enjoy the occasional shooter, action-adventure
Reading
Stand-up comedy
LGBT
Thought-provoking Conversations (religion, politics, philosophy, the human condition, science, etc)
I used the group search before, but a lot of what I am finding is mostly nsfw adult related or music/dance club oriented. I'm partnered so I don't care to delve into the adult side with anyone else (unless its like a roundtable discussion) and I've found plenty of places I enjoy for music.
I appreciate any guidance, recommendations, etc anyone has for me. I'm excited to be here and part of SL! 😁
