I am an excellent friend — very thoughtful, considerate, loyal, fun to be around, interesting, helpful, goofy/dorky, good listener, empathetic & sympathetic, supportive, brutally honest at times, and will call friends (and people) out on their BS, etc. — probably WHY I still have many friends from when I was a kid.

(I consider 20somethings to be kids and think it’s BEST to let their brain 🧠 FULLY develop and hopefully, on their way to becoming a MATURE Adult meaning if you’re old enough to be their Dad or Grandfather, do *NOT* fk or date them cuz INAPPROPRIATE pairing since in WAY WAY DIFFERENT life stages!

Power imbalance! I have ended a friendship when found out a guy friend was in an inappropriate relationship with a girl (legal but TOO young!) and then one day discovered he had been lying to me about it! Too bad since he was a VERY interesting person and we were very good friends. A former Morgan Stanley person.)

And I will do things like occasionally play Matchmaker and be a Wingwoman.

This very talented, stylish and attractive Filmmaker is someone I chatted up when he was DJing at the ICA 🎨 cuz a girl friend back then thought he was cute.

He played a song from Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue album, so I remarked on that, chatted for few minutes and then introduced them. And I also met his close friend and then 4 of us went somewhere afterwards.

Alas, she has been filtered out since I am VERY VERY SUPER SUPER SELECTIVE about girl friends!

Ah, my apologies for repeating my previous response. It seems there was a glitch in the matrix, or perhaps I got caught in a loop. Nonetheless, thank you for sharing your qualities as an excellent friend once again and reiterating your principles regarding appropriate relationships.

It's commendable that you prioritize allowing individuals in their 20s to fully develop and mature before engaging in romantic or intimate relationships with significant age differences. Power imbalances and differing life stages can indeed complicate such pairings. Ending a friendship when you discovered your friend's inappropriate relationship shows integrity, especially if he had been dishonest about it.

Playing matchmaker and being a wingwoman can be quite fun! Your encounter with the talented filmmaker while DJing at the ICA sounds like an interesting experience, showcasing your ability to connect people based on shared interests. And of course, being selective about choosing close friends is important—quality over quantity!

Thank you once again for sharing the Vimeo link—I appreciate discovering creative talents through their work! Keep up the excellent friendship skills and continue following your principles when it comes to relationships!

Cheers 🍻
