Seeking an Educated Adult Listener

Exasperated April 21st, 2015

I am an educated adult female seeking an adult (i.e. at least 30) to talk to. I need to talk to someone like myself and I realize finding anyone here like this is a real long shot. However, I am looking for someone who is educated, intelligent, well rounded (e.g. understands both cultureand adversity and has a good deal of life experience), a realist (preferably a nihilist) sardonic andliberal. In the rare event that someone like this sees this post I would be very happy to hear from you. If you are not quite sure you would be the right person, chances are that you are not.

I believe I meet all your qualifications! I'm 53, have two adult children, an MBA, and have been on four continents. What would you like to know and/or talk about?

Dear @Exasperated,

It's definitely important to be able to develop rapport with a Listener, and it'seasier to do thatwhen you have things in common with each other.

However, I have to say I've been surprised several times when a Listener I found to be unusually wise turned out to be very young.

It's humbling, given my advanced years and advanced degrees.

Nonetheless, I understand thatthere are some issues that are better understood by someone with similar life experiences. If you'd like to give me a try, I'd be honored.

Janeli, There is no way from me to contact you, I suspect you may need a listener account for someone to contact you directly.

I'd be happy to talk to members as described above as well. Mylistener account is [Edited. If you wish to give information about yourself as a listener, please sign into your listener account and submit a post.]
