I think I’m in the same place. I live in the PNW and whenever I tell people I haven’t watched Twin Peaks it feels like a sin. But I recently regretted watching Blue Velvet and can’t manage to get more than a few episodes into Twin Peaks, thinking his style is just not for me.

I have a tattoo of one of Vonnegut’s doodles from this book (the ouroboros) and when I pulled the book out during the consult, the artist immediately asked “are you getting the asshole?” I responded no, but I knew at that moment he was the perfect artist to do the tattoo.

It’s a huge spectrum and as others have said, whatever is your normal is normal. 40 year old man here on the opposite end of the spectrum, maybe once or twice a month. Normal testosterone levels and healthy, always just had a lower sex drive.

I have lots of tattoos and am in my dumb fun stuff era. My next is either going to be a Wild Rainier (Rainier beer bottle with legs used in their weird old commercials) with a shot of whiskey, or American trad animals on my kneecaps.

It’s definitely worth practicing, and the earlier you do it in an interaction the easier. If I’m chatting with someone for more than a minute or two, or we talk about something more interesting than casual small talk, I’ll just extend my hand and say “I’m by the way.” It’s never resulted in anything other than them shaking my hand and telling me their name.

I’ve made a lot of friends just being “out” somewhat regularly. I have a few favorite bars/breweries in the area that I’ll just bring my book to and hang out reading at the bar. Even doing a solitary activity in public ends up getting me into conversations, usually with people who share similar interests.
