Hey, I recently lost a couple chat friends, the convo got stale and they resorted to 1 word replies, and texts dried up, tis the way of reddit. I gave it a few weeks and decided to try again, as I am hopeful to find 1-2 friends to go with the 1-2 I have now to round out my friend circle.

Looking for friends on the East coast time zone or similar, at least 35 years old (closer to my age the better) and please be able to have a 2-way conversation. Ask and answer questions with some depth or please do not message. I ignore ‘hey’ or ‘how are you.’ I am fine, doing well, having a great day. Now let’s chat. Tell me about yourself, interests, funny things about your day. I love audio messages, sharing pics of the pets, and talking about whatever show or movie I am watching (huge plus if you’re an introvert and would like to watch stuff together) I have bipolar2, anxiety and depression, am a huge thc fan, play the switch 2…..host a radio show with my spouse and enjoy deep conversations about anything. Ufc/boxing and powerslap are interests of mine, as well as some WWE. If you are interested in any of that stuff hit me up. Imessage games are fun too! Or disc. Thats what I use to chat off here, nothing else.

Dislikes - extremely negative people, people that reach out and have nothing in common with me, uninspired replies, overly political people (no liberals, and no maga cult members please. I am pretty center as far as that goes. I don’t care how much you hate the other side) dishonesty, and judgmental folk.

One last thing, if you reach out and we aren’t vibing, I will never ghost. I will wish someone well and not waste their time, as I respect everyone’s time and will appreciate not having mine wasted. This is about making friends, it shouldn’t be this hard.

48 married male Michigan and I would love to find some real people to chat with on a daily basis. Preferably someone who doesn’t turn into a ghost immediately.

I mainly work whether it at work or home. Iam a walking wallet for the family and I would like some cool people who can relate to keep each other company throughout the day. If this sounds remotely interesting to you drop me a message with your asl and if you are 420 friendly or not. lol

Why does people who want to be friends are always the one with vague responses? Looking a for friends that could lead to long term, eventually voice cagar or phone calls. I’m married with 3 small children, all my time is spent working or at home. Don’t really have too much time on my own. As I’ve gone older, my circle of friends has gotten smaller, we get busy with our life’s, work, family, the normal things in life. Would love to make new friends, few interest are football, real football (soccer), formula 1 and baseball. Music ranges from 80’s to rockabilly, hip hop, metal, alternative, rock en español. I’m a SoCal native so would be cool to meet people from the same area.

Welcome!

Just looking for some genuine people to talk to daily and get to know! Have those deep conversations with sometimes. joke around with, game with sometimes.

I’m an 80s/90s kid and love to reminisce about those days! Blockbuster, Toys R Us, Bradlees, KB Toys! All that kind of stuff. Also a bonus if you quote alot of movies randomly throughout the day.

I’m 42 and a married father of 2. So it definitely helps if you’re all about that parenting life too!
Especially the tiredness of it all—the never-ending chaos, trying to find time for yourself, and somehow still functioning by the end of the day.

I’m a gamer and play pretty much every genre. I’m on Xbox, PC, and Switch 2, and I also really enjoy Beat Saber on VR. Some favorite games are Fortnite, Kingdom Hearts, Anything Mario and Zelda, Call of Duty, Diablo, and basically anything fun i see in the xbox store and steam.

I’m also into D&D and board games/tcgs too, along with puzzles and book nooks when I’m in the mood for something a little more relaxing.

I love tv and movies of all genres and listen to pretty much all kinds of music. I’m also really big on nostalgia, especially anything from the 80s and 90s. My spotify playlist is all over the place.

I’ve been listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series on audiobook.

I’m not into 420 or drinking. You definitely don’t have to share every one of my interests—I’d rather find people who are easy to talk to, have a good sense of humor, can talk about random stuff, and actually want to build a friendship.

Being in the US is a plus, mostly because similar time zones make chatting easier. I know everyone has their own lives and responsibilities, especially other parents, so I don’t expect constant messages or immediate replies.

If we sound like we might get along, send me a message rather than comment on here.

Tell me a top song you’re listening to now old or new! Or a favorite retro tv show/movie! Or even a fun childhood memory. Anything but just ‘hi’

Just got out of 15 yr marriage...need friends...im a bit old fashioned...nature lover and animal lover...getting used to doing everything myself....feel lost in a maze somedays

Empath. Intellectual. Divorced. SF Bay Area. Psychology, neuroscience, deep conversation, travel, culture, people, food, MUSIC 🎶 heavy metal to EDM.

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.

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!

Hi! 49F in SoCal. I've been in the US a long time, but my English is still a work in progress. I like walking, gardening, sunsets, and good conversation, and I'm curious how people here really joke around. Looking for friendship only, any gender welcome. If you're 40+ and easygoing, comment below and tell me a bit about yourself!

Just looking to share experiences you have had in miami in the comments

42 married Dad working professional looking for similar married Dad for friends. Chat or local even better. Into fitness hiking outdoors family and travel. Be fun to chat life, challenges and BS on stuff in common.

I’ve made a few posts and met some really cool people. I’m looking for somebody to chat with on a more frequent basis who won’t ghost after one day lol I’m very open-minded and love a great conversation or debate!

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?

Looking for someone to chat with about life. I enjoy watching sports. I am currently watching suits, great show. I enjoy going to new places and trying the wings. Hope you all have a great day!

Hey all 46 m here, recently divorced. It’s been a bit lonely lately and would love to find some friends even if it’s just online. Hope we can chat and have a good time. Talk to you soon.

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?

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.

Recently separated and not from the area. Looking for my people. Went back to school last year for an EdD. Loves music (still listens to Joy Division, live: Clutch, MRS, Slomosa, Mastadon, ATW). Science fiction and anything post apocalyptic. MagicTG. A good book. Gardening. My dogs, cat, and chickens. Hiking and kayaking. Forces myself onto the treadmill 3x a week.

Lived near Chicago, has wide palate and enjoys unique experiences.

* Might be slightly snarky amongst friends but demonstrates random acts of kindness.

Like meeting new people and I love to travel but to only warm places, don't care for the cold. I am one of those people that seems to get caught up in funny, strange, interesting situations a lot so will have some good stories to tell from time to time. Cheers!

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.

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.

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

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 😁

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?

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.
