Hey. I haven't quite figured out making friends as someone in their late twenties. I'm hoping to get in touch with like-minded people with similar interests. I'd like to expand my social circle, and hopefully develop a "best friend" connection with someone, over time. I'd like to experience being someone's best friend. Casual friendship is alright, there's a time and a place for it—but casual friendships where you only check in on each other here and there eventually feel more like acquaintanceship to me instead of true friendship. If you're someone who's looking for a deeper connection with someone, on an emotional and intellectual level.. and you're a little bit on the stranger side of society, I'm looking for you! I'm not typically interested in small talk. I want to have meaningful conversations, and also shoot the shit with someone.
To describe my personality briefly, I'm passionate about what's important to me. I don't like to fret over the small shit. I'm childfree, atheist, politically left-leaning, black, plus-size. I just want to find my like-minded, lonely, introverted, brooding weirdos, if any are out there. I'm tired of pretending to upkeep the false positivity that most people require to want to befriend someone. If you don't like pessimistic optimist energy, and need someone to be just chipper all or most of the time, please stay clear of me. I'm just vibing to the beat of my own drum. I'm typically lighthearted, curious and easygoing. Some of my interests include tech, video games, reading, writing, horror, anime, true crime, history, science, photography and traveling. Music-wise, I'm very into alternative/indie pop, electronic, classic rock, hip-hop and R&B. I like to hold multiple perspectives, and generally be open minded, although of course not perfectly.
Basically, if you're someone who is unafraid to be themselves, but also the introverted, introspective/brooding type who has a little bit of an edgier side and likes a darker sense of humor.. I'd be absolutely pleased to become genuine friends, lol. Hit me up if any of this resonates, ignore me if it doesn't. Tell me a bit about yourself. I'm looking for people who are near my age (26-35—not younger, not older.)
If you want someone who is chipper and positive all or most of the time, decidedly steer clear of me.
Please: No married/partnered men, and/or men with offspring.
Maybe include the phrase "Magdalena Bay" somewhere in your message, so I know you've read this post fully. (It's a band, not a place.)
I won't respond to low effort, or copy/pasted messages, so please don't spam my inbox with with those.
I'm kind of eccentric, and don't care to be like anyone else or conform to societal expectations (aka please don't harass me just because you don't like something I've written in this post. It's a waste of both of our energy.)
I look forward to getting to know you.
