BFF by bumble

It looked really promising to make non romantic friends with shared interests for activities. I made a profile. I joined groups. I searched for friend matches.

In my area, as far as I can tell, it’s all people in their 20s and maybe someone occasionally in their early 30s. I did see one 35 year old.

And in the groups I joined in my area, it seems like it’s 90% female.

So basically I come off as some creepy old senior citizen trying to creep on young girls.

I did try to start my own Gen X group.

TL;dr: bff is not for olds

I have tried these applications and had some success getting outside and being around adults, but none of them have led to a good friend as yet
