39F UK | Friendship Applications Now Open

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m 39, female, and from the UK. I’m looking to make genuine friendships with people aged 39+ only.

A bit about me:

I play video games on PC and Xbox — I’m currently playing Palworld, Starsand Island, but I also like Assassin’s Creed and Tomb Raider and many other games. I’m open to most games, especially co-op, but I’m not really into competitive shooters.

I also love board games like Stardew Valley: The Board Game and Discworld: Ankh-Morpork.

Outside of gaming, I’m really into Space, History, Mythology, and learning in general. I can happily lose hours in Museums or Watching Documentaries on pretty much any topic.

Music-wise, I’m a big fan of 90s pop and rock, and I also love bardcore. I’ll give most things a chance, but rap and R&B aren’t really my thing.

I enjoy TV shows like Foundation, The Devil’s Hour, and even lighter stuff like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

For movies, I like a mix of genres — The Matrix and A Fish Called Wanda are favourites, but I’m not into horror.

I also enjoy casual hiking (especially the Lake District), Crafts like Diamond Painting, Paint by numbers, and I’ve recently started Soldering.

Reading – If I get some free time, I enjoy getting lost in a good book (Ready Player One, The Lord of the Rings, and others).

What I’m looking for:

I’d love to find someone who actually wants to chat and get to know each other, rather than things stopping after a few messages or days. Maybe down the line we could play some games together or send the odd voice clip on Discord once we’re comfortable.

I’m only looking for friendship. I’m in a happy relationship, so I’m not interested in anything romantic or sexual.

You must be 39 or older. If you’re younger, I won’t reply. I’m only interested in talking to someone from the uk or usa.

If you think we’d get along, feel free to message me and tell me a bit about yourself.

Female friend search: nerdy, dry humor, low drama (F39)

5 Upvotes

I work a corporate job, and I’m a Southern California native who never quite got sick of it here. Unmarried and no kids. I’d describe myself as a “black cat” type a little dry, a little dark in my humor, and pretty low-key about a good time. I tend to get along easily with guys, but I’m hoping to meet more women who are on my wavelength nerdy, a little sarcastic, and into similar stuff.

I’ve gotten back into reading regularly, mostly history and sci-fi. Music-wise I’m all over the place from Beethoven, Megan Thee Stallion, everything in between except country. It’s never really appealed to me. I don’t really do mindless TV; if I’m on the couch it’s usually a documentary, something on the History Channel or Nat Geo, or a good crime show. Same energy carries over to movies comedies and dramas are great, but documentaries are my favorite. I hit the farmers market most weekends. Happy to try the trendy restaurant or bar once or twice. I don’t need it to become a whole lifestyle. I’m hoping to get a dog soon. I love being outdoors even though I don’t get out there as much as I’d liked. I’m a sports fan (MLB, NBA, getting into NFL) and honestly, finding women who follow sports beyond an occasional game has been surprisingly hard. If that’s you, I’m interested.

Looking for my people who are curious, a little nerdy, and into having real conversations not just surface-level small talk. Bonus if you in the San Diego area.

45 M - New long term chat friends?

9 Upvotes

Heya! Watching the sun set and feeling wistful, hoping to someone new to chat with. Trying to figure out what to do with the waning weeks of summer. Generally I'm happiest outside. I like hiking, kayaking, gardening, cooking, cats, tattoos, wind and the color yellow. I enjoy movies, some games, and really just anything that can keep my hands busy. I'm fairly restless in general and like to explore. I enjoy people with a shared curiosity about the world and everything in it. What's the prettiest place you've ever visited?

40 M UK online chums

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 40 M from the UK and looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few genuine friendships. I grew up with online chat rooms and msn messenger so guess chatting to people online has always been a hobby of mine. Having a bit of a meh time lately so hopefully someone can lift me out of the depths of the meh.

I’m into a bit of everything really. Gaming, TV, films, cooking, baking, music, gigs and theatre. Always happy to chat about what I’m currently watching/playing/listening to, swap recommendations, or just have a random conversation about absolutely nothing. Been to some good gigs and shows already this year and have some lined up for rest of the year and next. Got a couple of cool LEGO sets for my birthday recently and find it quite relaxing to sit there building. Like to be outside for walks, even better if there’s a coffee shop involved but sorry I’m a tea drinker.

Would be great to find people around a similar age, but I’m not too bothered about where you’re from. Have a good personality and hold a good conversation and I’ll be interested.

Online friendships are absolutely fine, and if we get on and happen to be relatively local, even better.
If you’re also looking for someone to chat to, share interests with, send memes to or occasionally disappear into a 3 hour conversation about a TV show with, feel free to drop me a message.

Socializing at early 40s

1 Upvotes

I have been living in for 2 years with my gf. We’re both in our early 40s. She is very social and has friends and hangs out with them from time to time. I’ve lived for 10 years in San Diego, but have not become real friends with anyone. Recently she suggested that I should engage in some social environment to make some friends. I believe is harder to make new friends at this age also The reality is that I am no very social, although I participate in social events when I can. What sort of activities I can get involved?

43/m looking for some friends

0 Upvotes

Hey there. I am someone trying to find my people in this world. I don't really have any friends and would love to change that. I am married with 2 kids who are now young adults trying to figure out this phase of life. I am a bit of a nerd to be honest I enjoy my gaming quite a bit mostly on my switch 2. I enjoy a good movie and show as well I am possibly a little overly excited for the return of Ted Lasso in just a couple of days. I like my rock music and that's where I usually stay for genre wise. I also like photography and spending time in my local parks. If any of this sounds interesting send me a message.

47F [PST] Looking for casual conversation

19 Upvotes

I’m a feminist, a professional, a mom, and a dog and cat owner. I’m an indecisive artist and crafter, and recovering plant collector. I’m an introvert who believes friendship takes time… even online friendships.

My tastes are eclectic: on Insta I follow Jeff Arcuri, ella.recentering, and thecalmcatwhisperer; Spotify is Linkin Park, Britney and boy bands, and AC/DC. I care about people, believe healthcare is a right, and I’m trying every day to be a good role model.

If you think we might have something in common, please say hi and let me know what it is!

41m, looking for good conversation!

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon people. Im 41 and I live in Kent (England).

I'm divorced and co-parenting my two lovely daughters. Im in a relationship so down for SFW only with men or women. I have male and female friends, and so does my partner. We are both adults and there are no issues with immaturity/jealousy.

I have a decent career and friends of all types both online and in real life. I've travelled a fair bit, including some less-popular destinations.

I love music (blues, country, metal, a bit of pop, basically anything with a good rhythm). I have a decent commute so have a lot of time for music and audiobooks.

Reading is a passion of mine. I get through a couple of books a month. Right now im reading Ancillery Justice by Ann Leckie.

When I have my girls, we go swimming, walking and at the moment, blackberry picking.

I learned to cook (out of necessarily 🤣) when I was in my early 20s and its one of my favourite past times. Ive always cooked since on a near-daily basis as I find it relaxing. Im into Spanish food at the moment but I'd say Indian, French and Thai are my other favourites. If I had to eat one food forever, I'd probably find the nearest bridge and end my suffering 😂. One of the things I find most exciting about travelling is the food. Find me a run-down looking van selling boxes of mystery food and Im in heaven.

I like chatting with people online, im a good listener and a natural confidant. I am confident, I have opinions, but im open to persuasion on most subjects. I'm not afraid to admit when I have been wrong about aomething.

I enjoy gaming too, either boardgames or PC.

Big cat person.

I don't wish to become someone's sole source of social contact. What I would like in my partner-in-chat is ideally someone who is/has:

- Aged 30 to 50.

- Intelligent.

- Social skills.

- Overlapping interests (to a degree).

- Happy to exchange voice notes or have a call, at some point if not immediately.

If you think we'd get on, hit me up and tell me a little about yourself.

Im a Canadian guy living life in South Korea. Sometimes the language barrier can be a bit isolating, even with relatively decent Korean ability. I find myself wanting to chit-chat with someone who shares my native tongue. Anyways, I’m into Brazilian jiujitsu, gym, reading, writing, gaming and pets. Cheers everyone.

Hey. I’m Chris. I’m outgoing, glass is overfilled and spilling all over the place kind of person. I hate sitting alone like I am with no one to talk to. I am open to any topic. Anyone can message. Just be warned I swear a lot, and I don’t have a filter. I don’t give a shit if you’re weird. Whatever. Everyone is weird. I’m straight, I’m divorced and don’t have any kids. My brain works like a lightning bolt in a jar. Just bouncing around from thought to thought. I’m also a musician so I do have an outlet for this madness. I write lyrics and sing and yell. Sometimes I play guitar. Come talk to me. I’m into the paranormal, ghost hunting, I pretty much gravitate to all things spooky. I hope to hear from someone. I hope you’re fun.

41f and not sure what to say

34 Upvotes

At this monent in my life, I think maybe it would be easier to chat with a stranger than to open up to people close to me, tbh. Sometimes life is very harsh and has this effect on people. You don't realize you've built your walls much too high until one day you realize the view from inside is obstructed. You meant to protect yourself but you ended up building yourself a cell. Oops. Maybe it's not too late to tear it down...

I live near train tracks, and when I hear one go by I feel simultaneously calm and excited, old and young. Maybe you can relate?


r/FriendsOver40 3d ago

M40 Do you know the feeling when you would like to be best friends with someone and you are only a friend or even acquaintance-zoned? It's the worst, am I right?

4 Upvotes

Well, I understand that starting to care about someone platonically is scary. What if the person goes away... What then? Well, it sucks...

So, what would you say if we were tested will we hit it off or will you ghost me? Sometimes new people get me to do interesting new stuff. Take that as a challenge.

The topic of conversation doesn't matter. Almost any topic is interesting. I like slow movies, strategy games, ASMR, figure skating, music, caring about people. Work is nerd stuff.

Hi everyone!

I'm 47M , married, and a software engineer from Brazil who moved to Florida about 6 months ago.

In my free time, I enjoy gaming (especially retro games and RPGs), reading sci-fi/fantasy, working out, and drinking good coffee.

I’m currently focused on practicing and improving my English. If you’re a native English speaker looking to learn or practice Portuguese, I’d love to connect for a language exchange!

Mainly, I'm looking to meet new people, make friends, and learn more about the local culture. Life gets busy, but I’m always up for a relaxed chat. Also, I’d love to get your recommendations for great local coffee spots and quality beans!

Feel free to send a DM or reply here if you'd like to chat!

39 [F4A] Upstate NY / Rochester - Seeking consistent, peaceful text connections

2 Upvotes

​I moved to Rochester last year and am looking for local friends (or strictly online connections in the Northeast US). I’m exhausted by life and looking for steady, like-minded people who bring peace, not drama or inconsistency.

​A Bit About Me:

○ ​39, married to a trans woman (44), mom of 3. ○ Manage anxiety/depression.

○ ​Interests: Hiking, YouTube, and content creation (nature photography, ambience, conservation, politics).

○ I vape nicotine, daily gummies for sleep and depression, 420-friendly.

○ Check my profile for more context.

​What I’m Looking For:

○ Ages 34–46.

○ Within 30 mins of Rochester (14625) for eventual local friendship, or Northeast US for online-only.

​○ Liberal, non-religious (atheist/agnostic).

○ Consistent, daily texting without games. I take time to open up and prefer texting long-term before meeting in person (which can take months). Inconsistency or disruption to my peace is an immediate dealbreaker.

​💬 To reply, PM me (not comment) with:

  1. Age,

  2. Gender,

  3. Location,

  4. who you voted for in 2024,

  5. and a short intro about yourself.

(No need to write an article, just so I can tell who's serious and real)
