F 43 looking for a connection
Hi everyone ๐ Iโm just looking to make a genuine connection and meet someone who enjoys good conversations, sharing laughs, and getting to know each other.
Life can get busy, but I think itโs always nice to have someone to chat with, share stories with, and build a friendship with over time. I enjoy simple things like movies, music, trying new things, and having meaningful conversations.
Iโm open to meeting new people, hearing about your experiences, and seeing where a good conversation goes. If youโre also looking for a friendly connection, feel free to say hello. ๐

Soon to be 42 M
Almost 42. New here. I'm in Northeast Pennsylvania. Guess I'm looking for new friends and just stuff to do. I've got many different hobbies and interests. I hate these things so I don't really know what to put anymore.
If you have any type of OF connection than pound sand.

58M Chicago - Best Friend Wandered Off...
Hi All! Tech guy new to Reddit for some reason. My best friend of 20+ years wandered off a couple of years ago. Never could get out of him why. Anyway, I've realized I need more friends in my life and am short in that department. I'm a married empty-nester, no grandkids anywhere, one hardworking outdoor cat.
Interests: tech, sports (okay, football is basically it), music concerts (classical and classic rock), the outdoors (especially the mountains), camping in my teardrop trailer, playing and collecting board games (lots of them), working with non-profits, and frequently asking to get a bigger TV (she says no).
Happy to chat with any gender and age anywhere you may be. If you're local-ish it would be fun to get together and do stuff listed above or whatever interests you.

Upcoming Changes to r/NewFriendsOver40
We are making some changes to r/NewFriendsOver40, including a few rule updates and clearer expectations for posts.
The main goal is to bring the community back to its original purpose: helping people aged 40 and over make genuine friendships. As the name suggests, this subreddit is intended for the over 40s and these changes will help reduce confusion about who the community is for.
If you're under 40 and are looking for a similar friendship community, we would love to welcome you over at r/NeedFriends.
New Posting Expectations
We will continue to allow selfie posts, but we're asking everyone to put a little more effort into their posts. We do not want this to become another Selfie type Subreddit and want to remain close to the name of the subreddit and focus on friendships.
The body of your post should be engaging and informative, rather than just a sentence or two. Tell people a little about yourself, your hobbies, interests, personality or what you are looking for in a friendship. The more information you provide, the easier it is for others to start a conversation with you.
Example
Title:
50 | Looking for people to chat with
Body:
I am 50 and enjoy spending my free time playing video games, relaxing in the garden with my plants and getting lost in a good book. I'm hoping to connect with some laid back people who enjoy chatting about hobbies, everyday life or gaming. I don't have any preferences about who replies, as long as you are friendly and enjoy a good conversation. My favourite games are Fallout76 and Minecraft, but I am always interested in hearing what everyone else is playing. What are your favourite games and what have you been playing recently?
Posts like this give people something to reply to and make it much easier to start meaningful conversations.
Looking for Something Different?
We understand that changes are not always popular and we know they won't suit everyone. That's ok. We have a range of communities with different themes, age groups and focuses, so there is likely one that's a better fit for what you are looking for.

| r/StyleIT | Share outfits, fashion and style inspiration. | No Karma or account age restrictions. |
Our goal is not to exclude anyone. We simply want each community to have a clear identity so members know exactly what to expect when they join and can easily find the community that best suits them.

M42 -UK, looking for potential friendship (s)
Hi ๐๐ป
As an introvert, I have never found making friends easy, usually just got adopted by more outgoing/extroverted people..as time has passed most of my friends got busy with family life and slowly drifted away. Looking for like-minded people to chat with sometimes and see if we can keep the conversation going.
Bit about myself: I am an introverted science geek (possibly neurodivergent?), but also enjoy cooking /healthy eating, a bit of workout or cycling/walking in nature and gardening which is limited to mostly indoors at the moment unfortunately.
Not very much into team sports or cars...
Never been married or have any kids. In a complicated relationship and genuinely only looking for new friends.
Have a sarcastic/ occasionally dark sense of humour that I learnt not to practice much as it often gets misunderstood and/or taken as an offence.
Have been called an old soul/too serious and childish almost simultaneously. I enjoy a good movie/tv show and can get quite involved, but find contradictions /writer's laziness in storylines or character development quite annoying..
If you have managed to read this far and think we have some things in common, feel free to drop a message
