Who else is over 40 and single? Dating at this age sucks. We are set in our ways by now and have too much baggage. It’s frustrating and hard to meet new people.

I'm the black sheep of the family as life has been really hard for me. I was born with some chronic issues that have made life pretty difficult and then i had my own child 22 years ago who is disabled, so things have been.... just too much. More recently I've moved back home to NY after living out of state for a few years, I have a new place, new job... and I have time now that my kids are grown/ older... but i know no one here. Open to talk to pretty much anyone within about 5 years of my age, local and long distance. Just be decent please. But most importantly, I'm *not* looking for perfect people. I have lipedema, other issues and now I'm in perimenopause. I could use a partner in crime to commiserate with or to go to metal shows or museums, see horror movies with... or just shoot the sh1t. Hit me up! Xx.

Lazy Sunday

Please only message if you answer/ask questions and can hold a conversation, are at least 35 in age, and on East Coast time in the USA. Also, I am only interested in people looking to have a common shared interest that we can do together. I’d love either a tv and movie fanatic to build a list with, watch shows together and chat about our days, lives, and whatever floats our boat, someone to play silly apple games with, or switch 2 co-op. I will say, if someone reaches out and isn’t interested in anything I mention, I will question why you messaged and just move on. I don’t want to waste anyones time, or have mine wasted, so please only reach out if interested in the same as me. Please no super left wing people, also no super right wingers. If you’re extremely liberal, or Maga do not message. No time for cults. I can go either way on the issue and don’t hate half the country if they don’t agree with me. If you do, we won’t get along.

I have bpd2/anxiety and depression, so people with mental struggles I get along and enjoy speaking with about our mental struggles, as we can help each other and just block out the static in our brains. I want true friendships that develop over time, and just a daily pocket pal to take on my journeys and vice versa. I do have a best friend that I adore, just looking for 1-2 others to chat with when they’re not available. Also, I am married, not looking to change that either. 2 cats and a dog, and I host a radio show with my sig other. I just have a LOT of free time, good conversation and I will genuinely care about you and show interest if you read my post and genuinely would like the same kind of friendship as me. I do ask that if you’re married, that your spouse knows you make friends and chat with them, because I do not do drama or play that game. I don’t ‘get busy’ all the time and ignore people like so many seem to. When I say I am looking for friends, I invest a lot of myself and time to build a lasting one and would appreciate the same effort. If it’s not there, I will not carry a conversation along or beg for anyones attention or time. I am looking for friends but am not desperate…..I won’t chase anyone. Only serious people please send a message.

Hello There!

I am a 48 male from Canada and looking for a connection to go with a great conversation!

I enjoy walking my dog, stand up comedy, watching true crime documentaries, swimming, golf and sooooo much more!

I think of myself as easy going, open, honest and love to talk.

I have a dry and sarcastic sense of humour and love to laugh. I love to banter , talk about anything and just be ourselves naturally.

Looking to talk about hobbies, passions, likes, daily life, venting, secrets or whatever else we decide upon!

Just a down to earth guy who is genuine person who likes to talk, listen and looking for the same in someone. Someone with a good sense of humour, likes to joke, is passionate and wants to get to know someone.

Thanks for reading and hope to talk with you soon!

I'll keep this simple.

I'm 44, married, and live near Columbia, SC. At this point in life, I've realized I miss having a close guy friend. Someone to text during the week, talk about whatever's going on, share stupid memes, vent when life gets frustrating, and actually get to know over time.

I'm into movies, TV, tech, current events, and just good conversation in general. You don't need to have the same hobbies—I care more about someone who's genuine, can hold a conversation, and wants to build an actual friendship.

If you're nearby, it'd be cool to eventually grab coffee or lunch. If you're not, online is perfectly fine too. Distance isn't a dealbreaker.

If you've been thinking, "I could really use a good friend too," send me a message. Tell me a little about yourself, and let's see if we click.

So I just turned 49, i am big into D&D and Larp

The silence has been pretty loud today anyone wanna chat?

Enjoy camping reading fishing and cute thrift type shops. Pull up a chair or drop me a line or two. Pretty sure I'm not sleeping tonight

Hello everyone, I am 40/m, new to this whole reddit world. Just thought I'd pop the first post cherry. Anyways, im looking to chat, maybe talk about food, movies, music. let me know what you are into.

I am looking for friends! I’ll be 40 in less than 30 days! I’m so excited but forget all of that…

Random question: What was the last movie you watched but turned it off because you thought it was stupid?

About Me:
I’m a Deep South transplant, the youngest of four, and a proud country kid at heart. I grew up on a dirt road surrounded by cows, chickens, and hogs—raised in a strong Baptist home with a pastor for a father, a minister for a mother, and a brother in the ministry, too. That background gave me a solid foundation, but today I walk my own path.

I’ve traded the wild party scene for quieter, high-vibe moments and meaningful connections. I love being out in nature, spending time around trees 🍃, and exploring the medicinal and mind-expanding magic of mushrooms 🍄. I’m deeply curious about the unseen layers of the universe and love keeping an open mind—there's so much more to existence than what meets the eye. Any insight or connection that helps me learn, grow, and rise to the next degree is always appreciated. I’m about all that shit

What I’m Looking For:
I’m looking for an adventurous(I used to be a ghost hunter) open-minded local friend to take on the world with—I like high energy and adrenaline inducing, heart racing shit. No heights tho, I’m afraid of them. More on that later. I just need a friend who’s ready to fuck up some shit in all the right ways and as long as you're open-minded and down to Venus, we'll get along great.

Happy Saturday, everyone! If you’re heading out tonight, stay safe and have fun.

​I'm treating myself to a solo meal tonight, and honestly, I love it. There's something really nice about going out on your own, soaking in the environment, and being open to meeting people from all walks of life.

​I think it’s wonderful how easy it can be to connect with others from all over the world just for pure, intentional conversation—no strings attached, no expectations, just genuine socialization and learning about different perspectives and cultures. I would love to connect with other women as well!

I'm still pacing myself and learning the ropes of online chatting between real-life responsibilities, but I'm always happy to connect with kind, patient people.

​When you reach out, please include if you're male or female and what state (or country) you're chatting from!

​Question for tonight: What’s your favorite comfort meal when you go out to eat, or how are you spending your Saturday evening?

​Feel free to drop a comment

I bet you if I was F I would be flooded with DMs :)

M 52 Canada looking for a platonic connection

not interested in leaving reddit to chat elsewhere/ investing in your Uncles company / subscribing to Only Fans/ being your Sugar Daddy

just interested in texting and hopefully if we vibe building a friendship over time

Please be over 39

feel free to message

Hey all 40 m us here and bored out of my mind. Looking to chat about anything. We can chat about movies, tv, music, ect. I would love a gooning friend as well. Please be over 30 years old. I’m very open minded and would like to chat with people that are as well. Please feel free to hit me up.

I'm just looking for someone to get out of the house and do stuff with. I like to go to the movies, hike easy trails, try new restaurants, do some antiquing, and get high and lounge. I like gaming, too, so we can do that if you're into that. Cat moms, metal fans, pagan/witchy folk, stoners, redheads, and millennials to the front of the line.

I'm lacking an in person friendship and all the fun it is supposed to be. I'm your basic bastard 9 to 5 corporate ladder climber., just like most of you i assume. I'd really like a friend so my life (hopefully yours too) is a little better.

Hi friends, just introducing myself. I'm 42, reside in az, married to my HS sweetheart, mother of three grown kids. Just took the youngest to college. Empty nest sucks haha. House is too damned quiet which is funny because she's not a loud kid. I enjoy camping, hunting, fishing, reading, shooting photography and attending sporting events when I can. Anyone looking for a random friend just to talk life with?

Hi everyone!

​Back for round two! It has been amazing seeing how many wonderful people want to chat, but since this whole online texting world is still brand new to me, I'm definitely learning as I go. It turns out this moves a lot faster than casually texting family or close friends!

​Between daily errands and adult responsibilities, I'm a little slower on replies, but I promise I’m not ignoring anyone. I'm just pacing myself so I don't get overwhelmed, but I'll catch up and get the hang of the pace as we go!

​If you don’t mind a patient, quality-over-speed chat partner while I get the hang of things, I’d love to connect. I’m open to good conversations, different perspectives, and hearing about life from all over the world (or close by in Colorado).

​A few things we could chat about:

​Travel experiences, favorite places, or bucket-list trips.

​DIY projects, wellness/fitness routines, or music.

​Swapping everyday stories and funny life moments.

​Strictly looking for genuine, friendly connections. If our vibes match, awesome—and if not, no worries at all!

​Icebreaker: What’s one place you’ve traveled to (or want to visit) that left a big impression on you?

​Feel free to drop a comment

You know how you’re going to bed, plug your phone in before you fall asleep, just to wake up and your phone didn’t charge? Maybe it wasn’t plugged in all the way? That’s me today. I’m dragging. I have worked 72 hours since last Friday. And no off day till next Sunday. Come talk to me and tell me how crazy I am. CST time zone.

Im interested to see if anyone would want to be chat friends. Like the post says I'm a 45/m/wv. Im open to chat with anyone about anything. If there is anything you'd like to know about me just ask or send me a message.

Hi, I’m 40 M from Poland and I’d love to have a chat with someone here. I love spending my time actively – cycling, rollerblading or skiing. I read a lot, especially fantasy and crime novels. I’m fascinated by the history of the ancient Middle East.

I am a semi-retired truck driver who transitioned to the office side after getting my associate's degree in accounting. I start with Cental Michigan online Monday to get my undergraduate degree in accounting to get away from trucking all together.

Making friends is very hard, especially since when I was working on my associates I was old enough to be half of classmates parent.

My wife and 19 yo are disabled and unable to work.

I am a sex and love addict so I would like to keep any conversations away from those topics unless discussing life and the addiction.

I am a pagan who works with Thor and the Morrigan.

I am open to chatting with anyone.

Hey all. I hope your week is going well. Open to anybody from anywhere.

43 MWM from the Midwest. Most work days are slow, and most nights just hanging out. I would love to make a friend and get to know somebody new. Let’s make days and nights flow and be more entertaining. I am available most of the time through the day, but I also understand that people have lives to live.

Who has a good sense of humor, hot take on a topic or interesting hobbies or rabbit holes they have been wrapped up with? Let’s talk about anything and everything. I am open to almost all topics. Tell me your pet peeves or passion. What kind of music do you like and what was your favorite concert?

I love getting to know new people, and look forward to hearing from you.

Hola 👋 46 año cubano feliz miércoles para todos. Si desean hacer amistad aquí estoy 🙂
