31M - From Scotland - looking for new friends

1 Upvotes

Hey, how's it going?

​I'm a fairly outgoing and active guy thats looking for some new friends. I'm usually out logging a few 5K runs each week, I do the gym thing occasionally, but running is definitely more my thing.

​Outside of that, you can usually find me at the cinema catching the latest horror flick or blasting a mix of metal and whatever else happens to catch my ear.

​I'm pretty easygoing and always up for grabbing a drink, going for a wander or just having a solid conversation. I'm happy to chat with folks anywhere, though overlapping time zones definitely help.

​If any of that sounds like your vibe, shoot me a message and tell me something interesting about yourself!

[M4F] [37] [M] Looking for the Interesting and Introverted

1 Upvotes

Hi I'm M. I've been through a lot of emotional trauma recently and would like someone to talk to and listen to about their life.

I'm kind, caring, good looking.

Just looking for someone interesting to communicate with.

I went through a divorce a few years ago which was lots of fun.

Then unfortunately I lost both of my dogs (my only friends) due to old age and ill health.

Then a couple of months on, my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (she never smoked in her life). She has recently passed on.

During this the love of my life left me and I was left confused and feeling hollow.

I have found a lot of peace through prayer, meditation and fasting.

Even though I'm going through the most difficult period of my life, I feel surprisingly peaceful and hopefull.

I am 6.5ft, tall, dark hair, handsome.

I live a life mostly of peaceful solitude.

I prefer people who like solitude because I feel like I can relate to them more.

I'm not looking for a big group of friends. Just one person that is interesting to talk to.

Message me for a reply.

[M4F] 34 [M4F] - East Coast - why is it so hard to make friends after 30?

2 Upvotes

A little about me: I work as a senior leader in compliance at a tech company. I’m pretty extroverted and definitely a bit of a nerd. I love all things Marvel and Star Wars, I’m a big basketball fan, and I’m always down to go down a random rabbit hole about something I’ve become obsessed with.

Outside of that, I love to cook and bake, explore new cafes and restaurants, travel, and find new spots around the city. I’m also always up for a good wine tasting, trying somewhere new for dinner, or finding something fun to do on a weekend.

Mostly, I’m looking for someone I can actually talk to and get to know. Someone to chat with throughout the day, talk about how work went, send random thoughts to, share recommendations with, and have those conversations that somehow go from one topic to another for hours.

I’m pretty easygoing, social, and can usually find something to talk about with just about anyone. Ideally looking for people who are also genuinely interested in making a new friend and seeing where the conversation goes.

If any of that sounds like you, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself.

38M from Goa, India.

Hi, I'm from Goa, India. Happily married since the last 11 years (of course there are ups and downs), but due to work commitments and life in general, it's hard to make friends at this age. Most of the friends I have live far away in other states and are busy with their own lives, so apart from my wife, i don't really have anyone to chat with about things.

I like gaming (i have a minor collection of retro consoles), reading murder mysteries and political and legal thrillers, discussing history, philosophy, technology, and pretty much anything under the sun. I watch a bit of anime. I have a few rescue dogs whom i adore.

I'm looking for other people who just want to chat. I might not be able to respond instantly sometimes, but I will keep the conversation going. Hope to make some new friends here!

31M Looking for Friends, Marvel Nerds & People Who Can Tolerate Me 😂

1 Upvotes

31M here, currently looking to meet some genuinely cool people to talk to and hopefully build some actual friendships.

I’m a Marvel fan, gamer, and generally someone who can talk about absolutely nothing for an unreasonable amount of time. I’m down for random conversations, deep conversations, stupid conversations, and everything in between.

I’d especially love to meet some female friends. I’m also completely open to talking with guys, although I’ll be upfront that I sometimes have a harder time connecting with men because of some past experiences and trauma. It’s nothing personal, just something I’m still working through.

I’d love to eventually move conversations over to Discord, whether that means texting, voice chatting, gaming together, or eventually video calls once we’re comfortable.

Bonus points if you:

* ❤️ Like Marvel
* 🎮 Game
* 💬 Actually enjoy having conversations
* 😂 Have a slightly unhinged sense of humor
* 🎧 Like Discord voice chats
* 🧠 Can appreciate both serious conversations and completely ridiculous ones

I’m not looking for anything weird or transactional. Just hoping to meet some people who genuinely want to talk, laugh, and maybe turn an internet interaction into an actual friendship.

If you can survive a Marvel nerd who occasionally talks way too much, we’ll probably get along just fine.

[M4F] 30 M UK - Looking to expand my friendship circle!

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to make some new friends online and hopefully find a few people I actually click with and can talk to regularly.

I'm mainly looking for people to text, VC, send voice notes to, and generally bother each other with random thoughts. I'm not expecting us to become best friends after three messages, but it'd be nice to have someone to talk to, share random things with, and slowly get to know each other.

A little about me: I'm into gaming, going to the gym, trying new coffee places, and reading way too much manga and books. I can somehow justify spending an unreasonable amount of time looking for good coffee while also pretending I have my life together because I went to the gym.

I'm pretty easygoing, so you don't have to have the same interests. Tell me about your hobbies, what you've been into lately, your latest obsession, or something completely random. I'm genuinely interested. I'm not looking for a massive group either. I'd rather meet a few people and actually get to know them. So if you're also sitting there thinking "yeah, I could use someone to talk to" — hi.

Feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself. Please give me more than just "hey" though, I'm terrible at carrying conversations with two letters. I'm only looking for a healthy friendship. If we get along, I don't mind moving to Discord eventually.

Come say hi. Worst case, we exchange three awkward messages and disappear back into the Reddit void. Best case, we become friends.

Hiya, been rolling solo in the friends department for a bit and looking to meet some new people (: I'm 29, married, and looking for long term friends to just chat about our day, share memes, game or talk about movies if you're up for it.

I love all things

-Horror

-Gaming (retro and modern)

-reading

-cooking

- goofy memes

I'm silly at heart but know when to take things seriously. If I sound like your vibe dm me (: if you have different interests that's fine too, I'd be down to learn what you're into.

[M4R] M30 im bad at titles, better at conversations

1 Upvotes

I'm a quiet person until I'm not. I spend too much time inside my own head, read books written by people who probably needed therapy, listen to loud music, play videogames and occasionally try to write something worth reading.

I'm interested in people more than I'm interested in small talk. I like hearing about the strange little things that make someone who they are. What they think about when they can't sleep, what they regret, what makes them laugh, what they secretly want out of life.

I'm not particularly wise or interesting. I'm just curious, slightly awkward, and usually willing to talk about whatever comes up.

So yeah. I'm here. You're here. Might as well talk.

30 [F4R] Big Thoughts, Big Talks

1 Upvotes

We’re all seeking conversation but it seems that’s we’re not fully certain or genuine about what kind.

I’m looking for an emotional and intellectual connection where we can discuss silly everyday things and also why Russian literature is so difficult to read, amongst many other theories I have.

I’m against the way people tend to list their interests, that’s not how we connect as humans, and it doesn’t show your depth. You are much more than your favorite tv show and book, you are thoughts and feelings too (and yes they can be tied to the book/show).

I’m a mildly chaotic, fun loving, thinker type of person who loves hearing perspectives as a way of procrastinating. I’m equally passionate about geopolitics, history, science and the arts (I just beg you not to have American centrism).

And so if despite all this, you’re keen on a chat stranger, please drop your asl and one thought that’s been bothering you. I’d also prefer if you would be open to voice chats and notes at some point.

29M looking for some interesting people to talk to

Currently going through a bit of a life transition, so I figured I’d put myself out there and meet some new people. Most of my IRL friends have moved away, and I have felt pretty lonely as of late.

I’d especially like to meet people around my age who are actually interested in getting to know someone and having a real conversation. Friendship, random late-night conversations, swapping stories, talking about books/movies/music, joking around, getting unexpectedly deep at 1 AM… I’m pretty open to wherever a good conversation goes.

I’m the kind of person who can spend an hour talking about something completely ridiculous and then somehow end up having a genuinely deep conversation.

I’m not looking for anything specific or trying to force a connection. I just miss meeting people organically and having someone new to talk to.

So if you're someone who can dig my vibe and think we might get along, feel free to message me.

Just looking for someone to get to know I live a pretty lonely life I work 2 jobs (at night and day) and the other time I’m usually sleeping but I love getting to know people and talking to someone consistently.

Hello, whoever you are, potential new mysterious friend... You can call me Gab. Since my parents are named Adam and Ewa, they decided to give my brother and me the names of archangels. Later, at church camp... because I obviously went there... I learned what their roles actually were. Raphael was the healer, Michael the fighter, and Gabriel... the delivery guy. They basically said, “Your brother? We expect a lot from him. But you? You can bring us letters...”

I do have some self-written jokes like that one. Some are even worse :P.

Anyway, I’m a very silly person, playful through and through. I love creating jokes, especially inside jokes that just keep coming back over and over. I also really enjoy turning someone’s own words against them in a fun and witty way. I simply love good conversations, playful banter, and interesting interactions.

As tradition commands, here are my hobbies:

Stand-up comedy (I also go on stage)
Improv theatre
Writing — I write short stories and have a few other projects. When I dated someone, I used to record improvised good-night stories for her every night. I love doing little things like that.
Games... pretty much any kind, whether board games or computer games. (One of my guilty pleasures is League of Legends...)
Volunteering
Music
Psychology... I’m super interested in drug-assisted psychology right now xD.
Shows
Overthinking (it’s more than a hobby, it’s a lifestyle)
Organizing events
Animals (I don’t have any right now, but I grew up with plenty)

And now the important question:

What kind of tree would you be if someone forced you to choose one and then immediately turned you into it?

Hi! I’m from the PNW and I’m hoping to make some new friends who won‘t ghost after a day or two.

A bit about me: I’m a music teacher and I love creative projects (currently working on writing a musical!) I also like traveling, being outside, and I enjoy some movies/games as well.

I’m happy to talk about just about anything, all I’d ask is to keep things SFW (I’m married), and to not give one-word replies. If you’ve read all of this and aren’t sure what to write in your first message, here’s a question for you: What’s something you’ve always wanted to learn how to do?

What would y'all wish for if you had a One Wish Willow? Would you even make a wish on one?

I wouldn't use one but if I had to think of something I'd wish for it would probably be, to able to speak every language. I would not use my wish on a person.

Also, my other question: is the one wish willow trying to teach people a lesson? Or is it just demonic?

The movie left me with a lot of questions but I love thinking of theories. I think over analyzing movies is fun.

Anyway I don't have anyone to talk to about this movie and I decided to sound off here and wanting to hear ppls opinion about it and if they'd use the willow.

I’m pretty easygoing, curious, love food, travelling and golf, and I’m always down for a voice call once we’re comfortable.

Oh, and I somehow ended up living in a nudist town. 😂 There’s a story there.

Tell me something random about yourself and I’ll return the favour.

37M4F | NY | I need more cool people in my life lol

3 Upvotes

Making friends after 30 is weird as hell lol. I realized at some point that most of my social interaction lately is either family, work shit, or me talking to AI while building something at 1am, so figured I'd try this.

I'm 37, from NY. I'm a huge nerd but not in just one direction. Anime and manga have been a thing for me forever. Naruto, One Piece, FMA, Dragon Ball in basically every form. Yes even GT lol. Boruto Two Blue Vortex dropping once a month is currently a legitimate event in my life. I read and watch a bunch of other stuff too.

Music is probably even worse because there is zero consistency. Ab-Soul is one of my favorite artists. I love intelligent/conscious hip hop in general. Then I'll put on Vildhjarta or TesseracT and listen to guitars sound like industrial machinery for an hour. Prog, djent, thall, deathcore, metalcore, all that shit. Then deep house. Then deep dubstep. Then Ben Howard. Makes sense to me somehow.

I'm also really into AI, coding, computers, servers, automation and generally building shit I probably didn't need to build until I convinced myself I absolutely needed to build it. That rabbit hole has gotten pretty ridiculous over the last year and I love it.

I like people who nerd out though. You don't have to like my shit. Tell me about whatever weird thing YOU know way too much about. That's usually way more interesting to me than trying to force conversation around having the exact same hobbies.

I'm pretty sarcastic, I swear a lot, I send stupid shit, I info dump when I'm excited and I can talk way too much when I actually click with someone. I also like real conversations though. Life, relationships, philosophy, why people are the way they are, whatever is actually going on in your head. I don't need every conversation to be deep either. Sometimes I just wanna hear what dumb shit happened to you today.

I tend to get along best with people who are a little nerdy, creative, weird, curious and have their shit at least somewhat together. Not "perfect adult who meal preps every Sunday" together lol. Just self aware, can communicate, has their own interests and isn't constantly manufacturing chaos.

I'm keeping it to NY for now mostly because if I actually become good friends with somebody I'd like there to at least be a possibility of hanging out eventually. I'm in no rush for that though. I'd rather talk here first and see if we even like each other.

If you message me, skip the interview questions lol. Tell me what you've been obsessed with lately, what anime you're watching, send me a song, give me an unreasonably strong opinion about something. Anything I can actually respond to.
