Are there any single men with morals awake to chat? - w4m - 54 (SE Metro)

I am awake and wondering if there are any single men out there who have morals. I am looking for someone close to my age. Nothing sexual. I just want to chat.

subject: Morals.
It's 11AM. I hope you got some sleep last night and that your philosophizing about morality did not keep you up too long. I hope you had a companionable conversation in the night.
I peruse CL strictly platonics as a "hobby," and I send a note, as a general policy, to anyone who is within nine years of my age and capable of flawlessly typing forty-six words, as you did, without saying "LOL." I suspect I already sound like a smart aleck to you, but it's possible you will smile, if you are well-rested.
My best guess is that there are no single men with morals, and anyone who tells you he is one is probably fibbing (or worse). As soon as you say "nothing sexual," every single man awake at 3:30AM thinks, "Heyyyyy! She's thinking about sex!" I could be wrong. I myself was asleep at that hour, dreaming about purity and politics. If we were ever to chat, please stifle your hopes of discussing 80's music; that's out of my range. 80's movies, maybe. Yesterday I delivered a Netflix disk, The Princess Bride, to my dad.
Yours faithfully,
Gregory J. Cartellino
