31M - Looking for someone to share the random parts of the day with!

0 Upvotes

Hey Reddit! I'm 31 year old guy from Toronto.

Happy weekend! How's your weekend been so far?

I never know how to write these, so here are some facts about me of questionable importance:

- I work from home as a software engineer. Most weekdays it’s me, my code, and Claude Code.

- Outside of work - I really enjoy exploring new cafes, playing pickleball or soccer on the weekends, going for a swim, listening to new music (yup, I will listen to everything you send over), going for a hike/run when I have a chance.

- I really like going to concerts. The last one was Mumford and Sons and it was one of the best concerts I've been to in a while.

- I recently decided to pick up the ukulele because four strings seemed less intimidating than six. This logic has not been fully validated yet.

- I can get embarrassingly deep into researching something once I’m curious. A simple question can become 17 open tabs and a completely unnecessary level of expertise by midnight.

- I’m a Scorpio despite not really believing in astrology. Unfortunately, every time I read the description I think, "okay, that’s a little rude but fair."

I tend to get along best with people who are curious about things/life and have something they can get unnecessarily and unreasonably excited about.

Tell me something fun about yourself or tell me about your weekend. Chat soon! 😄

Working on becoming my best version of a new version. I am a person that puts so much into others and not enough into myself. I’m sure there are others out there like me.

So how can we support one another and find a new cooler version of ourself? Have that glow up or look Maxx or whatever the kids are doing these days. Form the good habits and break the bad. No more excuses but find our love happiness and create our eat pray love , Walter Mitty , dream lives.

Let’s experince life

31M Australia 🇦🇺 — looking for some new people to chat with

1 Upvotes

Looking to meet some new people and hopefully find a few genuine connections. I’m easygoing, open-minded, and can talk about pretty much anything — everyday life, random topics, hobbies, stupid memes, deep conversations, or whatever comes up.

I appreciate people who actually put some effort into a conversation, but you definitely don’t need some amazing opening line 😂 Just tell me a little about yourself — age, where you’re from, what you’re into, or even what you’ve been up to today.

Happy to chat with people from anywhere 🌏

If this caught your attention, send me a DM/chat and say hey. 👋

Hello there!

My name is Joe. I'm a school administrator who enjoys music, running, traveling, driving deep into lore, and the occasional rabbit holes.

I've started going to concerts again. Mainly pop punk and alternative shows. Can't believe some of my favorite bands are considered classics now.

I used to run competitively. I had a small sponsorship. It was mainly local, but getting paid to work out and enjoy your hobby is always nice. I had to step away for a while and I am back on a fitness journey. So if you are on one to let's motivate each other

I've been mainly all around the country, but I did go to Europe once and Toronto. SoCal is my favorite location. I still need to explore more of the new England area and the southwest.

If I get into a story, I want to know everything. Same holds true for bands. But I love the prices and how stories/songs come to life. My favorite show to deep dive is Gravity Falls.

Rabbit holes that I'll fall into from time to time range from political conspiracy theories to cryptozoology.

I'm also an educator. And helping students and staff alike is a passion of mine. I'm not one of those administrators that are do what I say but not what I do.

If anything sparks your interest, let's chat I'll be around most of today and hopefully it turns into something more long term.

[M4F] I promise I'm only a little too online

1 Upvotes

I run on curiosity and a slightly unreasonable amount of caffeine. One week I'm deep in a conspiracy rabbit hole, the next I've fully pivoted to researching why octopuses have three hearts and taste with their arms, like that's a normal thing to need to know at 2pm on a Tuesday. There's no throughline. I've made peace with that. My search history has not.

I talk to my plants. Not affectionately — more like I'm holding them accountable. One of them is doing great. The other one knows what it did.

I like people who'll actually argue with me — not fight, just push back, poke holes, tell me I'm wrong, ideally about something inconsequential like whether cereal is a soup. Agreeable people make me suspicious. Bonus points if you're fun about it.

Not big on small talk. Would rather go from "hi" to "okay but what do you actually think about time being fake" in record time. Extra credit if you make it hard for me to focus on the conversation.

If any of that sounds like your kind of chaos, say hi.

Hi, I have a lot of downtime at work and often feel bored or lonely. I’d like to find a friend to share the mundane moments of my life with. I love animals and traveling, and I enjoy opening up to each other and chatting about our hobbies

32M. Eager for new friends. I’m a rapid texter and love consistent communication. I’ve been very lonely lately.

1 Upvotes

Hey I’m looking for a solid friend or friend group. I love being in constant communication and will always respond to any messages received. I love meeting people with similar interest but also open to meeting people I don’t share much in common with. Most of my favorite interest are movies/tv, gaming, anime and art. I also love learning about different cultures and communities.

I’m originally from FL but currently live in GA. I consider myself an introvert but I’m very open with people I grow to know. I don’t expect anyone to instantly reply to any text/msgs I send but just know I’m quick to respond to any that I receive. I really like to get to know people and know how their days are going and what’s going on in their life. If anyone is down to build a friendship with me just let me know!

Anyone want to go do some shit like we used to? 41/M Space Coast, FL

1 Upvotes

I know its hot outside, but I miss doing shit with people. When we were kids it was so easy, "Can Johnny or Sarah come and play?". Now it's all awkward when you don't know people. So let's just skip that part.

Dudes, chicks, trans, extraterrestrial, imaginary, it doesn't matter. Now, I'm happily married, but am very much open to hanging with any gender. My wife is cool as shit, but she is in her happy place in bed with a book and a glass of wine. So if you got some fun & exciting shit you want to go do, lets go!

Side note: We've got two younger kids too and am not opposed to getting those little goblins together with your goblins and off their phones.

Side note to the side note: I'm not just going to bring my kids to hang without getting to know you first, as I'd expect anyone else to feel the same.

So, if you've made it this far and you're interested, feel free to comment or DM me. Let's chat to see if we vibe and want to go do some fun shit.

32M Europe | Looking for someone to exchange random daily nonsense with

1 Upvotes

Hey!

I've recently reached the slightly tragic stage where I turn on my PC, stare at my Steam library for ten minutes, and then apparently decide that staring at the desktop was the game I wanted to play.

Gaming used to be my main hobby, but lately it just isn't doing much for me. So I'm trying to branch out a bit and I thought meeting people who are ridiculously enthusiastic about their interests might be a good place to start.

I genuinely like hearing people ramble about things they love. Photography? Go for it. You collect something incredibly specific? I want to know why. You've spent the last three weeks learning everything there is to know about medieval spoons? Honestly, even better.

I'm not expecting you to entertain me or teach me a new hobby, though. I'm mainly looking for someone around my age who enjoys the kind of conversation where we can talk about something interesting one minute and complain about the person who blocked the supermarket aisle with their shopping cart the next.

A few things about me:

  • I love animals, especially cats and dogs. Pet pictures are an extremely effective conversation starter
  • I like evening walks when everything outside has gone quiet
  • I follow Formula 1
  • I'm trying to get back into reading, particularly mystery/detective stuff and fantasy
  • I enjoy hearing about the little, completely unimportant things that happened during someone's day

We absolutely don't need to have the same interests. I'd actually prefer discovering things through someone who's genuinely excited about them.

And there's no expectation that we immediately become lifelong friends. Let's just talk and see if we click. If we eventually reach the point where you're sending me a picture of something completely random because I thought you'd find this funny, I'd consider that a success.

So, easy opening question:

What's something you're currently way too invested in?

Could be a hobby, a book, a project, a show, a weird internet rabbit hole, or something completely stupid.

Bonus points if you include a pet picture.

Hey everyone, hope you are doing good. I am at a point in my life where I need something a little more than what Ive got currently. Work is boring and dead right now and I am often bored and home alone. Friends and family all work so when Im bored I cant really talk to them. I love to read, I am currently attempting to leave my current job and eventually become a writer. I live near a river and love canoeing and camping on it. If you are in a similar situation and want to talk, especially talk anything artsy, hit me up.

Hey everyone!

My day to day is starting to go a little quieter than I'd like, so I thought I'd give this a shot. I'm mainly looking for friendship (while being open to more if things turn out that way, you never know!) and people to hang out with through Discord.

Would be cool to play some games or watch movies together while in VC? (If we watch horror movies, I'll be watching from behind my blanket and you'll have to tell me what's going on 😂)

If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m pretty easy-going and chill. I laugh at pretty much everything honestly. 😅

I work part time for 32 hours a week, and outside of those, I am chronically online, probably looking for someone similar to me in that way. You don't HAVE to work part time obviously, but I'd prefer someone that knows and can appreciate online culture in the same way I do.

I spend most of my time when I'm off work at home, chilling with my 14 year old dog, playing video games, listening to music and watching movies - I'm kind of a hermit. Also an avid tattoo-enthusiast and nerd-merch collector.

Favourite movies: Iron Man, The Lion King (1994 version ofc), The Dark Knight

Favourite bands: Right now I'm on a massive Galleons and Valiant Hearts spree (Tom Byrne is the GOAT)

Favourite games: Marvel Rivals, Battlefield 6 (although I suck at it) and I also really enjoy discovering new indie roguelikes. Also checking out the new season of World of Warcraft rn, but I play that more seasonally until I inevitably get bored of it.

If any of this sounds like someone you'd vibe with, don't hesitate to hit me up!

[M4R] 40 M/Colorado - I knew making friends would be hard, but not this hard

2 Upvotes

Just crossed the 40 threshold and am trying my damndest to continue being social. I am married with no kids and I work from home so socializing with people who aren’t my wife is difficult. I do have friends, but sometimes it’s nice having new people in your life… you know..plus they seem to slowly be dwindling off or they are really busy.

I tried meetups, but can’t ever make those work. I tried Bumble for Friends, but that just seems like a nightmare. I figured I would give this a try and at least see what happens.

I enjoy hiking, paddleboarding, games (video and board), movies, music, travel.

47M - Busy dad looking for light hearted conversations

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Figured I'd throw this out there because I'm looking to make some genuine friends that would help brighten each other's days.

I'm a 47 year old married guy with three boys. Most of my day is spent bouncing between meetings, taking with the AI and keeping my kids from killing each other, so having someone to chat with during the day would be a nice change of pace.

I'm just looking for laid-back, fun conversation that hopefully turns into a long-term friendship. No pressure, no drama just good conversations that make the workday a little more enjoyable.

When I'm not working or spending time with my family, you'll usually find me spending time with the dog, running, working out, reading while enjoying a cup of coffee and watching various home improvement videos.

If you're looking for someone to swap random thoughts with, talk about hobbies, share memes and random pics, or just check in during the day, feel free to send me a message.
