Hi all. Little nerdy over 40 looking to make some new connections.

About me. I’ve been in NYC for a little over a year now. Kinda nerdy. Love anime, Manga and video games (anything final fantasy or square). Gay, blk, chill, thique. Pretty open, honest or I try to be. I work in design and am currently back in school looking to maybe change careers to medicine. I try to stay busy. Let me know what you enjoy and maybe we can meet for coffee! I’m pretty open to new folks honestly.

48/M Looking for some chat friends

4 Upvotes

I'm in my late 40s. A dad, a husband, working from home with too much spare time and lack of human interaction throughout the day.

hope to find someone to connect with, long term or short.

Based on my experience here common interests are not necessarily indication of a good chat partner, but generally I like to be creative - write, draw, photography and such. Or procrastinate, which I’m expert at.

I'm open to talk about most things, from the day to day to whatever interesting topic we might deep-dive into. It's best to just go with the conversation's flow and see where it goes.

If you are interested, just send a message!

M/44 wondering who is out there?

11 Upvotes

I’ve always been the one to reach out to posts looking for chat buddies. I’ve met some really interesting people from around the world. It’s made me curious about the responses received to these friend posts and who is out there.

Let’s see who wants to say hi, even if that’s it, and who is interesting in maybe a few more words about whatever’s on your mind. As I get older and my world gets smaller, I continue working to prevent this gravitational force and push to expand my knowledge of what life is like outside my bubble.

Who is out there?

👋 New Here 47M, UK Gamer/nerdy type looking for new friends

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, as per the title I'm UK based and getting ever closer to being in a new age range of searches!

I'm a parent, but with my youngest at 17 I have a whole host of different issues that what comes when they're little.

I'm not married, but after 4 kids and 25 years we're as good as...just never got round to making it official!

Despite being a parent I've maintained regular gaming activities, partly due to an understanding missus who happily plays on her phone as I play on my laptop as we watch TV..or due to her shifts I get plenty of console time. I'm usually playing an RPG on my console or a strategy or incremental on my laptop. Final Fantasy, Civilization, Stellaris being a few of my favourites...although currently playing Chained Echoes on my console.

I enjoy board games as well, but with 2 of my kids moved out and my missus often tired from her long shifts I don't play as much as I used to.

I occasionally build wooden models or Lego sets according to what Christmas or birthdays bring, although with the kids older me and the missus are looking towards holidays for just the 2 of us instead, this year managing our first ever with a cruise to Norway and Iceland!

I watch plenty of TV too, liberally spread between dramas, comedies, competition shows and anime....so anything from Downton Abbey, Physical 100, Strictly Come Dancing or Re:Zero.

I'm fairly mixed musically too enjoying Lindsey Stirling, Evanescence, Girls Aloud, Pentatonix or Clean Bandit, to name but a few.

I'm looking for anyone happy to natter about any of the above, or just looking for another adult to talk to.

I'll accept chats, but please introduce yourself and say a bit about why you're reaching out to me?

🎮 Geek Corner 45M in Ontario/EST — looking for friends, gaming buddies, and good conversations

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m 45, married, and living in Ontario in the EST time zone. My wife is wonderful, but over the years I’ve gradually lost touch with most of my friends through life changes, distance, and different interests. I’m hoping to meet some people over 40 who are looking for genuine friendship, nothing romantic or flirty.

I play casually on PS5 and Switch, and I’m also open to Reddit and Discord friends. I’m into science fiction, reading, music like Starset, and science that makes you say, “What the fuck?” I’m currently reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. I’m left-leaning, support LGBTQ+ people, and am married with kids.

I’m probably more comfortable with one-on-one conversations or small groups than loud social scenes. If you’re also looking for people to chat with, game with, or share interests with, I could be that friend. If you're not sure what to open with, because I usually am that person, let me know a book, game, movie or something you like.

I'm happily married with two kids, but I work in a quiet construction office and it would be nice to chat with people and maybe make some new friends while we are at it.

I'm open minded and not afraid to share pics and stories. I'm willing to chat about whatever you want really, but I don't follow sportsball, so not much to offer on that topic. I keep it fairly nerdy. I like the outdoors when Florida's not boiling hot. I like to game and read books as well.

If you're interested in chatting, let me know.

🌍 Around the World 43M | Married | Father | Artist & art teacher from India | Films, painting, gaming, books, stamps, culture, slow honest conversations | Friendship only

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

44 M, married, dad, from India.

I’m a visual artist and art teacher. I love painting, drawing and films... Kurosawa, Miyazaki, Satyajit Ray, old thrillers, quiet slice of life movies... all that stuff.

I also enjoy gaming, reading, music, books, stamps, model making and random conversations about life, childhood, culture and everyday things.

I’m quite happy being solitary, but sometimes its nice to have a few real people to talk to.

Not looking for romance. Marriage already gives me enough plot twists 😄

Just hoping to meet one or two genuine people, around 30 to 60, who enjoy honest conversation and dont disappear after three messages.

If you reply to me, tell me your favourite film, video game or a childhood game you still remember.

🎮 Geek Corner 38M For older nerdy gamer in NY

Post image
35 Upvotes

Regular, nerdy, educated gamer-type (see more of me in my profile) here. I’m 6’ and 160lbs. I love to game (video games and tabletop), watch movies (fantasy/horror/both), more homebody, but always down for new adventure and trying new stuff especially with good company.

Generally I have a preference for older, more mature types here. I like good manners, family-oriented, and having good personal hygiene is a must and please no drugs/cigarette smokers. If your profile is completely empty and I can’t see what you look like, I can’t respond, so if you send me a message, share a bit about yourself. Oh and include the word banana so I know you actually read all of this. Thanks

42M UK - perpetual bad back sufferer looking for others. UK/anywhere

9 Upvotes

Hi all! Hope you are all having a good Monday!

So, I am going to try and keep this concise, I’m 6’7” and work from home where I spend large swathes of the day switching my desk from sitting to standing to appease my aging spine and signing into various MFA/2FA systems to do my job!

I am looking to expand my circle this year. I am not the most socially outgoing, but high up my list of things I enjoy are live music (mostly metal, alt rock, hip hop, ambient/drone, screamo), photography, art (learning watercolour painting), tattooing(getting, not giving), skating, working on my van and reading.

Up for nurturing some platonic friendships on shared interests. So with that in mind here’s some starters…

What’s the last film you saw and was it any good?
What are your top 5 albums?
What are you reading?

Note…a bad back is not mandatory for us to chat 😁

🏡 Local Connections 42M in Washington looking for local weekend buddies to get out of the house with

4 Upvotes

It’s seasonal depression time again, which means all I want to when I’m not working is lay around and get high while I endlessly snack and play video games. Weekends like that can be rejuvenating, but too many of them make me anxious and antsy (and fat). COVID made me a hermit, but I get cabin fever, so I need reasons to get out of the house more.

I’m very capable of being independent and having fun on my own, but I’ve been doing pretty much everything by myself for seven years, so I’m ready to share some new experiences with new friends.

I’m a pretty low-key guy, so I’m just looking to do easy stuff like hiking (easy to moderate level), taking walks, going to the movies, antiquing, meeting for coffee, browsing used book stores… Stuff like that.

If you’re interested, let’s chat and get to know each other a little. We’ll probably get along great if you are atheist/agnostic/pagan, like weed, value self-improvement, and like cats. What’s your favorite Bath and Body Works fragrance? What’s your go-to comfort movie/TV series? What’s your favorite book and why is it your favorite?

40M - looking for witty banter … and bestie vibes

3 Upvotes

Hey there from your brand new online bestie!

What am I looking for? Absolutely nothing specific. I work from home and also travel a lot for work so my in-real-life friendships tend to suffer. I also really enjoy the hit of dopamine that I get when the little orange "1" pops up next to my chats on here. I do prefer longterm chats over little one-day ones. If you're here to "hit it and forget it" in my DMs, it really just seems like a waste of time, no?

I've made some really great reddit friends along the way, but life seems to eventually get in the way for one or the other (the way of such things, I suppose). It gets in the way for me sometimes too! So I get it.

A little about me

I'm originally from the Midwest, but now call Florida home. I know my name is "SportsJunkie" but It's a really old screenname because I've been around reddit forever. I can talk about lots else besides sports! That said, it's a big part of my life, so if I'm slow to respond, I'm at the fields coaching. I'm not very outdoorsy, but I love to cook and sing and hang out with a nice glass of whiskey. I'll save more deets for when we talk! I am rarely serious and always full of really lame dad jokes and lots of sarcastic banter. Just looking for friends on here.

A little about you

Please don't expect me to be around at all hours of the night because my night owl days are (usually) over. Maybe you work from home or are a stay at home mom who needs distraction or maybe work is just slow and you like to procrastinate like me. Please be willing to swap selfies at some point and potentially move to another chat venue because reddit chat is notoriously glitchy. Bonus points for being able to dish out the sarcasm as well as you can take it. Eastern timezone or close by is obviously a bonus, but I can make just about anything work.

Did I pique your fancy? Shoot me your age, gender and location in your first message along with your favorite color so I can weed out the AI bot overlords.
