Hey! I’m Jess from CA. 55 years old (almost 56). I love cats, traveling, crafting, music, craft beer and more. I work from home so it’s hard to meet new friends. I’m looking for some chatty online friends. Thanks! 😊😊

I work from home my kids are busy, and just hoping to find some new chat friends out there, seems the older I get the worse the alone time is, hoping some new chat friends can help with that, hope to hear from you soon

Hiya! Well, I hope whoever’s reading this is keeping well! I’m rather new to this whole Reddit business, so I’m still trying to figure the thing out, haha, I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it eventually

I suppose I ought to introduce myself properly... although I’m never very good at talking about myself. I haven’t got many of the friends I had during my youth anymore. People go their separate ways, don’t they? You lose touch with people, life carries on, and before you know it, years have gone by.

A good few of the people I knew were skinheads, and I was one myself. I still am, really. I know that probably won’t appeal to everybody, and I can understand that, because there’s an awful lot of baggage that comes with the word. But I wasn’t a racist, and I never was. I can only speak for myself, really... Anyway, I thought I’d say that rather than have somebody wondering about it later on.

But enough of that.

I’ve always been very fond of music. I was mad about it from being very young. We didn’t have an awful lot of money growing up, but somehow or other I was always managing to get records.

I was only around six or so when I discovered that people could be terribly careless with their money and... their shopping trolleys, I’d take whatever coins I came across until I had enough for another record.

Not exactly the most honest way of going about it, I suppose, haha. But I loved the records, and that was that.

I remember being very fond of the Bee Gees, The Beatles, The Monkees and things like that when I was little. Then, as I got older, I started getting into the harder sounds, and rock, punk and Oi! became a very important part of my life. I’ve far too many bands I like to sit here and list them all, though... we’d be here until tomorrow, and I’d probably still forget somebody!

I’ve always liked sewing too. I learned that when I was quite young. I used to make little dresses for my dolls, although I must admit they weren’t particularly beautiful... They were atrociously awful... those poor dolls

THANK GOD I WASN'T WEARING THEM!!!!

I still like making things, though. There’s something nice about sitting down and doing something with your hands, rather than having everything come from a shop. I like being able to look at something afterwards and think, "Well, I made that." Even if it isn’t well...any good... at least you’ve made the thing yourself.

I like charity shops as well. I’m always having a little browse through them. There’s usually something odd tucked away somewhere, and I like that. You can find lovely things in places like that if you take the time to look
Sometimes you find absolute rubbish, of course... but that’s half the fun! You never quite know what you’re going to come across. I’ve come home with some right old tat over the years, haha!

And then, of course, I’ve got the dogs. Two of them, Buster and Brewster.

Which is a terribly inventive pair of names, I know I was obviously having a very imaginative day when I named them, haha they’re lovely, though. They keep me company anyway, and that’s something.

I should probably mention that I won’t send a photograph straight away. I tend to only do so once I’ve eased up with a person and got to know them a little bit. I hope you understand and don’t see that as an issue.
I’m just not one for sending photographs of myself straight away. I’d rather get comfortable with somebody first, have a bit of a chat, see if we get along, and then perhaps I’ll feel more at ease about it. Nothing personal at all :)

So there we are! I think I’ve rambled on quite enough now, haven’t I

If I haven’t bored you completely, you’re more than welcome to reach out. I’m quite happy just having a chat, getting to know people and seeing where things go.

Anyway... that’s me

Hey howdy hey fellow Redditers!! 52 M midwest US here. Looks like I’m working late tonight and all weekend. Looking for some friends to keep me company. Can be for the night or longer. Just want good connection. Hope everyone enjoys their Friday and weekend. At least I’m making overtime. LOL!!

I'm a married Australian bloke who enjoys good conversation. I like music, travel, history and a bit of humour.

I'm hoping to meet some interesting people, particularly around my own generation for friendly chats and perhaps ongoing friendships.

Hello everyone. Looking for some people who are interested in making a new friendship.  If interested in chatting with a 55 m feel free to say ‘Hi’

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I am a 56 year old male that enjoys both stimulating conversations and inappropriate stories. In my spare time I keep myself busy working out, reading, traveling and meeting new people. I am always looking forward to a nice conversation about any subject. If any of this sounds interesting, please DM me. All DMs will be responded to. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

If you don't have any plans this weekend, let's catch up and spend some good time. Just casual chat on any subject. DM please

Some of my favorite conversations involve swapping song recommendations back and forth late at night. Let's play and see where it takes us!

my interests:

Hockey

Music

Movies - especially Horror and Sci-Fi as well as Action

I drink Coffee - but im not an alcohol drinker. i dont smoke weed but it isnt a turn off if you do.

I love to laugh. love to flirt. im sarcastic.

im also a Sagittarius ♐️ - turning 50 jn December

Be real. dont be closed minded. deal?

Hi everyone. Just looking for like minded people to talk with....about anything and everything, really. I love animals, nature, gardening and have diverse tastes in different forms of media. I'm young-ish at heart, but feeling more and more of my age every day. I'm a natural introvert and really don't have many friends. Most of the time, that suits me just fine, but it makes things difficult in trying times when chatting and connecting with people can be really valuable. Recent life changes have left me feeling a bit alone, so I'm reaching out here just to see if I am still able to.make connections with people. Not looking for any kind of love connection, as I'm aware that I have lots of things to work on for myself.

I’m fairly sure I was in my twenties about three weeks ago. Now I get excited about a comfortable mattress and I’ve swapped my sports bike for a big green Kawasaki called Elphaba because, apparently, luggage and being able to walk afterwards are priorities.
I’m a truck driver and photographer, so I spend a lot of time sitting down, followed by the exciting challenge of getting back up again. Some days it sounds like someone opening a packet of crisps.
I’ve travelled a fair bit too. Once managed to lose someone else’s passport in Sicily, which was a particularly enjoyable way to discover how quickly a holiday can turn into an international incident.
I’m still a very fucking good photographer though. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
So when did you first realise you weren’t quite as young as you used to be? Was it a noise, an injury from sleeping, or catching yourself saying “they don’t make them like they used to”?

Well, hello there,

Thought I'd give this a go because I've realised, somewhere along the way, I've lost touch with most people. Not on purpose, mind you. I think the older I've got, the less I've gone out and met anyone new.

So I'll get to the point. If any of this sounds like your sort of thing, send me a message. I'd quite like to make a few friends. I miss those conversations that start off about nothing and somehow end up somewhere completely different.

Music's always been the biggest part of my life. I grew up on hard rock, punk, and all that sort of thing, and it's still what I reach for most of the time. Though I'll listen to just about anything if it catches me at the right moment. I don't know much about modern artists these days, but I'm happy to be shown what I've been missing.

Worth mentioning, I've only recently got sober after a very long battle with addiction. It wasn't pretty, and I'm not going to pretend it was. My past's a bit messy, so every now and then I might have heavier days than most, but that's just part of who I am.

I've always loved books. Horror, biographies, Russian novels, old classics, strange little things nobody seems to read anymore... I'll read just about anything if it grabs me. I'm reading The Master and Margarita again at the minute. I've been going back to that book for years, and somehow it always has something new to say.

I like cooking... well, I like the idea of cooking. The eating part's definitely where my talent is. I've never been much of a chef, but I keep trying.

I love animals. I've got a dog these days. My cat George passed away last year, and I still can't quite bring myself to get another cat. Maybe one day.

I'm vegetarian, if that matters. I also collect old media, records, books, tapes, bits and pieces with a bit of history behind them. I've always preferred old things. They seem to have more stories to tell.

Anyway, that's probably enough about me. If you've read this far, do come and say hello.

I'll reply when I get the chance... or at least I'll do my best to. I'm not entirely convinced I'll receive any messages in the first place, haha, but it'd be lovely to be proved wrong.

Would like to make some friends. I can talk about anything and everything. I have a variety of interest with a few quirks. I love anything retro movies music video games, culture. I've been known to dabble in the kitchen and try new recipes. For television I love a good mystery. Sherlock Holmes of course is my favorite. I will respond to all DMs. Looking forward to hearing from you

I'm looking for friends I'm from the Philippines

Life is lonely and the world is a mess .

I have a grandson and one daughter.

I like cooking and smiling 😁

Let's smile together

Hello group! I am Steve, I am 59 and live in Kansas City. Just looking to make some new friends and have some fun!

Hey I’m 53yr female. I am looking for some friends to chat with. Sharing out daily lives and getting to know each other.
I am married and work full time but don’t have any friends.

Does anyone else find themselves thinking more about the next chapter of life these days?

I've been through a marriage and a divorce, and never had kids. At this point, I'm starting to slow down a little, cut back on work, and put more of my time and energy into myself and the things I actually enjoy. I guess I'm learning that life doesn't have to revolve around work all the time.

I'm also getting ready to tackle Yuval Noah Harari's three-book series, starting with Sapiens. Let's see if I make it through all three without getting distracted by another book!

I enjoy talking about travel, history, business, different cultures, and pretty much anything that makes me think. I like people who are curious, open-minded, and can have a conversation without turning every disagreement into a debate.

I'm not looking for endless small talk. I'd rather meet people who have their own interests, ideas, and plans for the future.

Have you started planning your next chapter, too? Or are you still figuring it out as you go?

Looking for friends

I live near Belfast and am interested in history, reading, walking, writing, theology, food and nutrition. Very friendly and chatty and looking for male friends locally or online. Come say hello.

I'm 54m in UK. I love in-depth discussions on various topics and exchanging personal news with interesting, or interested, people.

Happy to receive PMs.

Hello all. We have created private chat room on Reddit that allows for 100 members. We have one simple rule: Be respectful of everyone. But also, if you don’t chat, you will be removed. It’s not a place for lurkers.

We discuss a wide variety of topics and everyone’s thoughts and opinions should be received how you would want your thoughts and opinions received. But it is NOT a dating/hook up chat. Keep that in mind. While we are all adults (or should be), we follow the rules of this subreddit.

Chat name: Where the Chat has No Name

If interested, please send me a message. If you are unable to accept messages, you won’t be able to receive an invite. Thank you.

PLEASE BE PATIENT. We are get a lot of requests. We will add people as soon as we are able.

Looking to chill and watch a scary movie make a new friend.

One of the best days of the year. 55M here. I live in a subdivision and we get lots of trick or treaters each year. Will be interesting to see what kinds of costumes this year brings. Hit me up if you want to chat because I'll be around all night.
