I get that you want companionship, but I don’t see what the road block is. You also seem to have this thing about society, which is understandable, given that most people are psychologically constrained by society, but you will never be free until you discard this block and recognise that society is a fabrication that need not determine how you live your life. Sometimes you just have to have courage and take risks, like the [guy]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxC2vm6Tegk "Title") in Office Space who discards his fears and finds his freedom. I love that film. What about [Gerald Kingsland]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Kingsland "Title"), a 49 year-old man who advertised for a woman to share his life with him on a deserted island and got a response from a 24 year-old woman. Perhaps read Michel Houellebecq’s [Platform]( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Platform-Michel-Houellebecq/dp/0099437880 "Title") to get some additional ideas.

You can create your own reality or at least create a lifestyle closer to what you want, irrespective of what society has to say about it. Start thinking outside of the boxes society has created for you. Most people just copy everyone else, like lemmings, petrified of diverging from sanctioned societal protocols or doing something original. You’ll be surprised, many people are latently looking for relief from society’s restrictions and will happily follow your lead, but are just too scared or ignorant to venture off the track alone.

What do you think is the stumbling block that is preventing you from having what you want?
