Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm nearing retirement but I don't feel old. I'm still interested in learning new things and am perpetually curious. It's easy to sit around and do nothing and I do that sometimes...but I'm trying to break out of being too complacent.
How's your life?
I am a very lucky man. Good career, good relationships, living in a great home near the beach. What's to complain about?
What helps you keep your sanity?
Physical exercise. It used to be creative pursuits, but hiking, kayaking, pickleball, etc., etc., seem to be what really interests me.
What is most important to you right now?
Continuing to grow.
Anything you recently found interesting?
We went to see the whales in Guerrero Negro, Baja California, Mexico. The whales come right up to the small boats to interact with humans. It's pretty mind blowing
I'm checking yes on group matches below though I tend to prefer one on one interactions.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am enjoying my late forties and am finally comfortable in my skin. Most of my adult life was invested in my career, but I want to shift my focus to meaningful connections and community.
How's your life?
Great! I was part of the tech layoffs you've probably read about, and honestly, it was a blessing. I hated that job. I'm using this year to upskill and shift into something new.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I like taking my doggo for walks and working out. I also love to cook and meal prep, so I spend time researching recipes and tinkering.
What is most important to you right now?
Finding community. I'm an introvert, so making friends is doubly hard. I feel energized to put myself out there and to see what I'm missing.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Dogs aren't den animals, as it turns out, which raises questions about the validity of crate training. If your dog likes his crate, awesome! But if he doesn't, it's not because he lacks an instinct.

I’m excited for you and the year ahead! There’s such beauty in leaving something you hated and transforming life into something you love.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm 37, married, working a job I (mostly) like. Made a bunch of changes in my life in the past 4 years that have made a big impact on me. Hoping to make some new connections and enrich life through those.
How's your life?
Not too dramatic. Very average. Work is hectic, trying to fill the days with fun things to do outside of that.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My pets who provide structure in my daily life and provide many funny situations, music and routines.
What is most important to you right now?
Enjoyment. Simply finding enjoyment in day to day life.
Anything you recently found interesting?
How Simon Reynolds manages to humanize John Lydon in his book Rip it Up and Start Again, when the guy is kind of a prick.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in that exciting phase of life where I’m chasing big goals, figuring out what truly matters, and learning how to make the perfect cup of coffee without Googling it. Balancing ambition with joy, and always down for adventures, late-night talks, and finding the best local food spots.
How's your life?
Life’s in that wild sweet spot between chasing big goals and laughing at how unpredictable it all is. It’s a mix of clarity, chaos, and late-night thoughts about what really matters—plus the occasional cereal-for-dinner moment.
What helps you keep your sanity?
A good playlist, solo walks that feel like side quests, and reminding myself that no one really has it all figured out. Oh—and not taking life too seriously (except when deciding on pizza toppings).
What is most important to you right now?
Right now, it’s all about chasing goals, enjoying the ride, and not losing my AirPods again.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Recently found out octopuses have nine brains, and now I feel personally attacked for struggling to answer emails with just one.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I just turned 30, and I moved to San Diego from the Bay Area in 2021. I am also trying to find a sense of community where I can connect with like-minded folks and have adventures around the city. I'm currently focusing on some hobbies, both new and old. I'm trying to explore to find purpose in life!
How's your life?
My life is okay right now! I have some great physical and artistic hobbies I like to partake in, which keeps me busy. I am in between jobs (thanks layoffs!) trying to find my next move, so that has been a bit stressful. I would love to put myself in new scenarios to expand my horizons.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Reading books (I have a goal of 26 this year), running (training for an upcoming half marathon), acting, ice skating, singing (not well, heh), and skateboarding.
What is most important to you right now?
Finding a community! :)
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently went whale watching and didn't know there were so so many vast whales and dolphins in San Diego's beaches! :D The dolphins were super cute and friendly! :)

Welcome to San Diego! I know it has been a few years, but still, welcome! How are you liking the city compared to the Bay Area?

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am 23 and married. I just moved across the country and am trying to improve my health through the fitness.
How's your life?
I would say my life is pretty good. I have a roof over my head and food in my stomach.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I go to the gym for my sanity a lot, but I do also enjoy reading and playing video games.
What is most important to you right now?
I would say the most important things to me right now are definitely my cats.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I haven't found much interesting that I can think of.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m somewhere between quarter life crisis and on top of the world. My 30th birthday is next week & life keeps getting more interesting. I relocated to San Diego almost 6 years ago, the biggest challenge has been making genuine connections since leaving home.
How's your life?
I’ve got some good things going for me. I have a supportive and loving husband, the means to experience things that bring me joy (traveling, eating, sitting on patios drinking wine), my job is mostly good. The thing that keeps nagging at me is my lack of connection here in Southern California, and generally, actually. I don’t really have a family. I miss having close friends near by.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Good food, reality TV & getting outside.
What is most important to you right now?
Health & happiness. My marriage. Growth. Meaningful connections.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently listened Trejo, by Danny Trejo, on audible. I didn’t know what I expected when I bought the book, but wow, I was immediately hooked. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh but also a compelling story.
