Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Parker. I hope I can meet more people through here, and I hope I can find someone older than me. I don't like people younger than me. Because he is mature and steady, he has deep social experience and rich knowledge and experience. In mature and steady men, they are rich in ideas, respect and trust, and will not be as conscious as young people. Don't let me pull you down. lf you are young and want to communicate with me, please keep mutual respect, trust and understanding.
