Seeking Mentorship and Connection: Looking for "Father Figure" Friendships (and Maybe More)
Hi everyone, I'm in my early 40s and have come to realize that I never had a father figure in my life. Its something Ive been reflecting on lately, and Im now looking to connect with older men who might be interested in a mentor-like, supportive friendship.
While Im primarily seeking guidance, wisdom, and a meaningful platonic bond, Im also open to the possibility that this connection could evolve into something more, if theres mutual chemistry. Age, background, and sexuality are less important to me than shared respect and a genuine connection.
If this resonates with you, Id love to hear from you and see where things go!

I agree with you. You're on the right way.
It's always awesome to seek out guidance and brotherhood. I feel the same. I'm in my 50s and have enjoyed mentoring and being mentored.
In my early teens I was many years ago mentored too. And I also have enjoyed this. Only by this kind of mentoring, I'm a unashamed and openminded Nudist.
So many thoughtful and cogent replies.
Have any of you heard back from the poster, 1denticaltwin? He has posted a similar request in several forums. I have replied a few times, but no response.

I have enjoyed mentoring, too. And I'm so grateful about that. I got guidance and brotherhood too. It helps, to become a unashamed, openminded and passional Nudist. It was wonderful.
Wow I love this post - male bonding with wiser mature men is what every young man needs, very interred to connect with anyone
Theres so much wisdom in this! From time immemorial wisdom and life skills were passed from the old to the young, generation after generation. This is how people learned essential survival skills and also how the great cultures of the world developed; how science and art and civilisation grew.
Now we live in a culture where twenty second sound bites and vacuous vanities seem to dominate the media, where aging is feared, and wisdom underrated, and where masculinity is constantly under attack. Its no coincidence that that same culture is also seeing young males in crisis. Theyre being fed a false narrative that masculinity is toxic or dangerous and that being male is inferior. And also that sexuality is a problem rather than a gift. Well I dont believe that! I think the male is beautiful and wonderful.
Having had some bad experiences as a boy I was saved by the unconditional love and wisdom of my dad but also by kindness, wisdom and mentoring from another older man who lived near me. Its so wrong that people would often jump to wrong conclusions about a man and a boy being friends without even knowing the people involved, especially when the man in question was single and what was euphemistically called a bachelor type back then.
He was kind, patient, wise and educated, and I learned so much from him, but, even more preciously, his respect, care and friendship taught me that I had value as a human being. Ironically he got that same gift from me.
I had a wonderful father, and he was wise and generous enough to see that my friendship with the older man was good for me. I remember seeing them chat and hearing dad express his appreciation.
Many years later, and a dad to sons myself, I look back with gratitude and appreciation when I remember those times and the many nuggets of wisdom he taught me. I hear his voice sharing many a great quotation or guiding me to let the pan get good and hot first or the egg will stick to it.
I celebrate the man he was and also the man my dad was; two wise and deeply good men, one of whom knew how to fry an egg.

I agree. Only by this wiser mature man I become a unashamed and openminded nudist since my teens.
