My point is that when you're reaching out it's helpful to articulate what you are looking for.

Since I've never met you, if you reached out to me using the post above, I politely decline since I don't see what I'd learn from you. I expect you're not Bill Gates or Steve Jobs etc (if you were you wouldn't be hitting me up).

Now it's possible you could learn from me, but (shrug) probably not. There's a million places you can go online to read much better things than I could say. (I most certainly am not Steve Jobs.)

I think you're suggesting we meet as "peers" - but you're giving me nothing to suggest er are peers. Since my default position is "nothing to see here", I'm just moving along.

I think if you want to make contacts you need to narrow down your search a bit.
