I’m looking to get to know someone

I'm looking to get to know someone via text, and see where it goes.  I'm 40 years old, I'm on the bigger side, looking for someone physically similar.  More about me:  I'm kind of artsy, I enjoy songwriting in my free time, writing poetry and enjoy deeper conversations from time to time.   Life is serious enough as it is;  watching stand-up comedy is something I also like doing, it reminds me to laugh a little.   I enjoy a drink sometimes, I am a cigarette smoker, but I stay away from other substances.  I am hoping to meet someone I can either relate to, be friends with, or maybe more if the chemistry is right.  I don't have any expectations other than showing mutual respect.
