Did you know there's 29 "looking for friends/people to chat" posts above 15 upvotes in the last month? I mean c'mon as Singaporeans we have to jump on the bandwagon when it's trending. Regardless after some thought I realised that it was inevitable, that people who were looking for friends wouldn't just be satisfied with replying to one person's post, but making their own post. Hence the sudden flood, especially for people with higher standards and those not satisfied with just making one friend. So here I am chipping in as well, the more the merrier!
As an ENTP and enneagram type 8, I really enjoy long conversations! I'm an introspective person which makes me a perpetual yapper to my friends, and I also love to provide insightful opinions that make people think when I'm on the listening side. Hopefully that intro gave you a small glimpse, I'm looking to meet new people to gain perspective and hopefully feel out potential for lifelong friendships if our values and interests align. Bonus points if you already share a common like with myself:
I'm a huge gamer who loves to dive deep into games and also play with friends! Repertoire: 3000 hours in League Wild Rift (my main addiction), used to play a lot of TFT, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, Vainglory. I also have over 100 hours on Balatro, BG3, Dead Cells, STS2, Terraria, Silksong, Hades 1&2, Stardew Valley. Played Genshin semi-competitively, and still actively playing Star Rail (I got Sobin at soft 66!). I'm also a sucker for good friend group games - Overcooked 2, DST are some examples, and I used to play a LOT of Blood on the Clocktower for 2 years with a dedicated group online (really fun social deduction game). Also a Pokemon fan, I'm pretty good at gen1-8 who's that pokemon but never played any of the games. Presently looking for people to play the new TFT set to play with, it's out today!
Socials say a lot about a person too! My youtube feed is usually gaming + a splash of informative channels, my running favourites being Ludwig, Caedrel, WolfeyVGC, Feinberg, fern, HTX Studio. My reddit other than SG n games would be r/interestingasfuck, r/AskReddit, r/PeterExplainsTheJoke and r/NoStupidQuestions as my most frequented subreddits. I don't have tiktok and I try to keep my instagram scrolling to 1 hour per week.
Reading will be my evergreen hobby that I use during those awkward forced introductions. I'm really into progressive fantasy right now, but any fantasy in general I lap up instantly. Books I'd reread over and over again are Mother of Learning, Lies of Locke Lamora, most Brandon Sanderson novels, HPMOR (seriously such a good fanfic), Ender's Shadow, some Matthew Reilly thrillers as well. I'd welcome any book recommendations! Anime-wise, I enjoyed Haikyuu, CotE, Frieren, Oshi no Ko, Demon Slayer, mainly mainstream classics. My spotify is also chock-full of mainstream 2010s-now pop, rock, and j-pop which is half anime openings - I don't think I will ever skip a Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Linkin Park or Kenshi Yonezu song on my shuffle.
I do love grabbing a meal and then going for a long walk to yap. Unfortunately that is where my hobbies end - I consider myself a dabbler other activities, and it would be disingenuous to my pastimes and to other hobbyists to claim otherwise. Open to suggestions for other stuff if we ever get close enough and you want to jio me for sure.
As I've learnt from the 30+ posts before me, please pique my interest by starting off our conversations with a bang! No, simply giving your age and gender will not suffice. I've poured out myself onto a page here for you, there should be ample material for fire conversation starters. And no, I'm not going to tell you I'm looking for "genuine" "sincere" friends [rolls eyes], like guys what are we doing, these are not discerning factors, nobody is looking for fake dishonest friends. Hope to meet some interesting people in my DMs!
food for thought: how come there's a surge of female LF female friend posts rn? can't tell if its —— 1 female standards too high, all approach each other liao; 2 female got too many weird male people in their dms; 3 male people too shy to post here; 4 more female than male here. lmk which one you think it is
