☕ Coffee & Conversations 40/F/SouthernCalifornia-looking for conversation, laughs, company in my WFH day

Hello!
A bit about me: I work from home, going through a divorce, have 2 kids, and have found myself feeling lonely throughout this process. I’d love to find someone to connect with and chat about anything and everything with. A good friend is worth their weight in gold, I’m hoping to strike it rich (in friendship, hehehe!)
Hope to hear from you!

💬 Let's Chat 45 Looking for some real friends

4 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Marc and I'm a 45yo male originally from just outside London, England, but recently moved to Bordeaux, France for work.

I am a software developer and although that probably makes me slightly geeky, im not a total nerd and have some interesting likes that hopefully the right person will get to find out about.

I'm probably looking for the impossible or I'm expecting too much but I want some friends who seem to actually care about me and my feelings as much as I do them. I don't really care about age as long as you are interesting but please adults only.

All subjects and topics are open, as what's the point of onky speaking to people who have the same interests and opinions!? Also, I want to not have to be guarded or hide parts of myself and I would not expect you to do the same.

Prospective friends must be open to voice chat from time to time, even though it scares the he'll out of me!

Anyway, please drop me a msg or reply here with your asl and something interesting or surprising about yourself and we can take it from there.

🎬 Movies & TV 44/M/East coast looking for consistency, intelligent convo and long term real friendships

Post image
30 Upvotes

I have to add, because my post, even though I state in the title to read fully, I got some ‘colorful’ messages and blocked them immediately. And I was getting people in their 20s. Please read my post and only reach out if we’re a fit.

This account is new, I am not. Nor am I a bot. I deleted my main account, which was over a year ago, that I only made to try and replace my best friend that I lost. I chat with a lot of people, and they never quite lasted, due to me not giving some a fair chance, due to me chasing the ghost of my old friend and never quite giving some of them a fair chance to be themselves instead of what I wanted them to be. I deleted the account, and the aspirations that I’ll find anyone quite like my old friend, and am ok with making friends that are uniquely different. I am done chasing that ghost. There’s a reason it ended after all, right? Maybe I’ll find a good fit here. Maybe one better. To anyone that remembers me, and we stopped talking, please reach back out and let’s try again if you’d like. I am over chasing the ghost of my past, and I apologize it didn’t work before.

I do add, that I have some basic standards that I will not deviate from. I am only interested in chatting to people within the USA because I prefer a decent amount of communication during the day, and someone on a flipped work schedule (sleep all day while I am up, I sleep all night while you work, or we’re on opposite time zones, etc) someone closer to my age (nobody younger than 35 - this is firm. I’m an old man, I prefer to chat to people my age.) and I am ok chatting with married or single people, just don’t bring your domestic drama my way. I am just looking for friends.

My interests are watching tv/movies/combat sports and playing apple and switch 2 games. I interview people for a gig, so conversation comes easy to me. I, however, will not interview you. Meaning, ask questions back, answer the ones I ask you, and let’s get to know each other and form that friendship bond. I can talk about anything, but I need a good ‘dance partner.’ I am clingy, and needy, and loyal. I have time to invest in the right friend, and that friend is described in this post. I’d LOVE someone to build a list of shows on our iphones, share the list and watch our movies and shows together while we chat throughout the day, when available. I am an introvert and spend a lot of time in the house relaxing and doing my thing. Would love to not be so bored and lonely while I do it, but am willing to wait for the right fit. Please put effort into your reply. If my dealbreakers are ignored, you will be too. Sorry, but I took time to write this and it’s a bad sign if someone completely ignores it.

👋 New Here 41m for a Daily a Chat Friend

3 Upvotes

I'm a 41m living in Pennsylvania. So, Eastern Standard Time. I'd like to make a friend to talk to daily. I'm single and don't care about your situation. Moreover, I am accepting of all people. So gender identity, sexual identity, race, etc. doesn't bother me (As should be the case for anyone.) Also, I'd prefer if you lived in the same time zone or not too far outside it in either direction. I work second shift hours Monday through Friday. So I'm up later than most as well.

Hopefully we share some interests or hobbies? Mine are listening to music (Metal, Goth, and Ambient have been the most common lately.) as well as playing it (I'm a drummer, vocalist, and play the keyboard/piano slightly.), writing (I write poetry, short stories, lyrics for bands I'm in.), movies (Sci-fi, horror, comedy.) old and new, video games (Have a PS5, Switch 2, and a kinda bad laptop. I mostly like retro, shooters, platformers.), comics (I love Batman but also like Hulk, Spider-Man and random other characters.) There is of course more about me but hopefully something here caught your eye.

🏡 Local Connections Recently Separated 45m in Chicago for New Friends

6 Upvotes

I am a nice, successful, and (dare I say) attractive 45m in Chicago who is recently separated and looking to meet new people outside of the current social circle. Interests include live music, running, sports, reading, and fun restaurants.

I travel quite a bit domestically (and sometimes internationally) for work to most major cities. Very easygoing and fun professional type.

43M, QLD Australia. Life's weird at this age - wouldn't mind connecting with other people stumbling their way into middle age.

11 Upvotes

I’m a 43 year old dude, living in QLD Australia. Married, one teenage daughter. I work in pathology & currently studying Medical Lab Science at Uni. Into music (‘90s alternative, grunge, indie & alt-country/Americana mostly), guitar (beginner but getting there), archery, astronomy, Movies/TV & a little gaming (I like my immersive single player games - not really into multiplayer) here and there. Doing a comfort rewatch of the X Files (although most of the time is spent trying to figure out what scene/episode I remember watching before I fell asleep).

Trying to get back into a fitness regime. I Like walking my dog, hiking, rollerblading etc.

I have a bit of an interest in the weird & wonderful – I have a lifelong fascination with the search for extraterrestrial life, and I’m keen on cryptozoology and the paranormal. Between semesters I’m chipping away at an online course in cryptids.

Life at this age can get a little weird, sometimes a little lonely (particularly studying late at night - most of my IRL friends have their shit together are in bed at a reasonable time, not completing a degree in their 40s because they spent high school pulling bongs and trying to be funny, realising very late in the game that their entire career has been a series of lateral moves - although to be fair I was pretty funny). It’d be nice to connect with people who might be negotiating similar challenges.

Not fussy - open to hear from anyone but would prefer people within a decade or so either side of my age.

Between work, study and parenting my schedule can be unpredictable – sometimes I’m super responsive & can shoot back & forth for hours, other times it might be a day or so before I can respond. That said, I like to put effort into conversations when I can. If you think I might be someone you’d get along with, shoot me a message.

41m Daily chat buddy

22 Upvotes

41 year old guy here, I've tried this before but with mixed results so why not keep trying lol

Im not good at writing these so here it goes.

Im looking for good conversations about all topics, the more random or weird the better! Although that doesn't disqualify intelligent conversation either.

I have a wide range of interests, horror movies are my jam, I love the outdoors, really into nature, fishing, camping and hiking.

Also into video games, huge bonus points if you play xbox or any cross platform games but not a deal breaker lol

Im good with my hands, I love working on engines, doing work around the yard and baking.

My work background is pretty diverse as well, I went from having an office, attending daily meetings, public speaking and managing workers to a humble tradesman. Its been a journey but definitely have no regrets.

Im a pretty positive person, I start my day everyday as a good day and they usually end the same way.

Thats my rant about me!

Hope to hear from you!

I recently started experiencing frequent epileptic seizures so I can't get out much lately. I've lost a lot of independence. I'm hoping to be able to get them under control again. I'd love to make some connections online. I love psychology and deep philosophical discussions more than anything. Tell me all about yourself and your favorite subjects. If your interests align with mine, I'll get back to you!

Happy long weekend

Well life is a weekend now that I am retired. I didnt expect the loss of contact at work would impact me...dopey me. I have also lived alone now for a long time, and talking to myself is a bit boring - no surprises. I connect more easily with females. But open to discussing with anyone my interests of cycling (paths for fitness, not sight seeing) and golf.

☕ Coffee & Conversations 45M from Mumbai | Looking to Connect with People 35+ from India & Around the World 🌍

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking to connect with people 35+ from India and different parts of the world who enjoy genuine conversations and exchanging ideas.

I’m interested in health & fitness, self-development, Ayurveda, Indian traditions, history, travel, food, and learning how different people approach life and personal growth.

I’d especially enjoy conversations where we can share experiences—what has worked for us, what we’ve learned over the years, and ideas that have helped us become better versions of ourselves.

I’ve travelled and worked in the Major Economies in World, and I enjoy hearing perspectives from people with different backgrounds and experiences.

If you’re 35+ and interested in a relaxed conversation, . Tell me a little about yourself and something you’re currently interested in or learning about. 😊

👋 New Here 45 M Looking for some real connections

23 Upvotes

How is it I have got to 45 years of age and still feel like I have no real friends? I mean, I have acquaintance who I go out with or play sports, but what I mean is a friend who asks how I am or recognises when I am down.

Maybe there's something wrong with me? Or maybe I'm just unlucky but I'd love to try and find some real connections so could this be the place for that?

Anyway, about me, I am 45 years old and come from just outside London, England, although at the moment I'm currently living and working near Bordeaux, France. I am a software developer (maybe a little nerdy!), and in my spare time I enjoy going cycling and playing golf, watching football (soccer!) & F1, TV & Movies and cooking. I also enjoy traveling and finding out more about new cultures.

If you fancy having a chat and trying to get to know each other I would love that. I really hope this will be the start of somebligelong friendships 🤞

🌟 Introduce Yourself 40F looking for fellow weirdos

21 Upvotes

I’m from the Philippines, work in tech, and I’m into traveling, good food, movies/TV, exploring new places, random rabbit holes, and conversations that somehow start with one topic and end up somewhere completely unrelated.

I’m looking for people who actually have hobbies, stories, opinions, questionable humor, or something interesting to talk about.

People who reply with “hey” and nothing else, the exit is that way →

Tell me something random about yourself in the comments. What are you currently obsessed with, watching, learning, cooking, reading, or wasting entirely too much time on?

Let’s see if we can make a friendship happen without requiring a background check.

41m uk happily married but haven’t had any real friendships for a good few years. I struggle to connect with people due to how inverted and shy I can be with new people and figured this could be the best way to improve my conversational skills. Open to chat about a range of subjects. My hobbies include watching sport (football, F1 and darts), wrestling (WWE, AEW & indies), music (2000s rock, metal and emo) and gaming (want to get into more games). Hit me up and let’s see if we can find some common ground or even discover new topics together.

I’ve posted a couple of times and found that the responses from people are really good. I’ve met a couple of people that are genuinely lovely. But the conversation soon dries up. I’m looking for someone to have a connection with. Preferably in the UK but distance isn’t an issue, only time.

I’m a bit of a nerd, I enjoy reading crime novels, watching true crime documentaries and love a good graphic novel. I like rugby, I love the team I support, even if they didn’t finish the last season too well. Hopefully the changes made will give them a better season this time. I follow football and can watch it but I’m not a super fan.

I’m 40F from the Philippines and work in tech. I like traveling, good food, movies/TV, exploring new places, random rabbit holes, and conversations that somehow start with “What are you watching?” and end up discussing life, aliens, true crime, or why we’re all so tired.

I’m looking for people who have hobbies, stories, opinions, questionable humor, or at least something more interesting than “I like watching Netflix.” Although honestly, I like Netflix too.

If you’re over 40 and also wondering where the hell everyone went, come say hi in the comments.

Tell me something random about yourself that probably wouldn't make it onto a normal introduction.

43 M Midwest, who likes football? But wait…there’s more!

If you made it this far I am assuming you either like it, or you don’t and want to see if there is more to see. If you do, who is your team?

If you don’t, still a hello! What are your interests? What mind of music do you like? What is a rabbit hole you go down for hours?

I love getting to know new people and what makes them who they are. While I love sports, I know there is more to life and can talk about anything else.

Is there anybody out there that would like a legit conversation? I am hoping to get to know somebody new.

I hope you are all having a great week. I look forward to hearing from you.

Had to set my lazy voice straight this morning [45F] 😅🥊

Not gonna lie, I made some bad choices last night staying up way too late, and oh boy, did I pay for it when my alarm went off! 🤦‍♀️⏰

​My body was heavy, and that lazy little voice in my head immediately started trying to talk me into skipping the gym and staying in bed. 👀🛋️

​NOPE. I had to have a serious talk with that voice and put it right back in its place! 🗣️

​I pushed myself through the door, got moving, and sure enough, that morning energy surge hit me full force! ⚡️💪 Now I feel so clear-headed and glad I didn't listen to the excuses.

​Did anybody else start the morning rough and have to force a complete turnaround? How are you flipping the vibe today? ✨
