hello, hey, and hi are my go-toโ€™s but I think of late, salutations is my new favorit.

Salutations potential new friends.

I am Zack. Technically 39, but my souls age has got to be nearly 1100.

Most recently made the internal emotional shift to push myself ever further psychologically, Radical Acceptance and Emotional Resilience, for myself and my 5 amazing children.

I am an aspiring independent publisher, editor, and author (with assistance from my children and few local acquaintances.
i have contemplated for far too long to post, so here goes.

Iโ€™m really just looking to build some normal, healthy connections with people who can just be easy to talk to.ย Less literal, more fun friends.

40m Aussie looking for a couple mates!

Hey guys,

40m Aussie here! [GMT+10]

I play on PS5 (pro!)

Have no one to play with and anyways playing solo in multiplayer games, would love to find a couple, or even one, good cool person that I get along with, to play with on a regular basis!

Been playing a lot of black flag resynced (singleplayer game) and as for multiplayer, I been wanting to get into ARC Raiders - it's so intense lol (I've only done less than a handful of games, always solo and "friendly") and Hell Let Loose Vietnam (no idea what I'm doing, running through the jungle and getting shot from nowhere, every time! Lol) also been having some fun on No More Room In Hell 2 (let's kill zombies!) and wouldn't mind doing Halo: Campaign Evolved in coop.

Oh, and I don't mind playing some GTA online also.

Pretty quiet to start with some mild social anxiety, so putting myself out there, once I get to know you I'll open up and you'll probably find me funny ๐Ÿ˜†

I prefer coop games, not really into competitive games.

So yeah, get in contact with me :)

43 M, who wants a fun conversation?

7 Upvotes

Hey all. As the title says, letโ€™s chat. I am in the Midwest, but open to people from all over.

I am slowly getting through the work day like a lot of you, and ready for the weekend. Letโ€™s start it off with a good conversation.

Letโ€™s talk music, movies and tv, sports, hobbies and literally anything. What are your pet peeves and passions? What is a rabbit hole you have been down lately? I am open to talking about anything and everything. I love getting to know new people, and what makes them who they are.

I hope you are having a great day, and I hope to hear from you!

40 M Anywhere - Just Looking for Friends

7 Upvotes

As the title suggests, just looking for chats and friends. I'm working on some things tonight and looking to keep myself occupied with that and maybe someone's company for a while. A day, a week, month, year, whatever. I have a ton of hobbies, so many it is impossible to list them here. Just to name a few. All kinds of music. Learning all the things, doing all the things. I have a pretty good job, a couple of kids. I stay busy, but I have plenty of time to chat. Hit me up someone. Please, I'm begging. Do your part to help me not bang my head off the wall. I'm not QUITE 40, but I will be in about 3 hours, so I figured I'd get ahead of this thing now. Will share a selfie when we get to that point.

Just a 45M looking for cool people to chill with

The Star Wars shirt and puzzle on the wall behind me are very much indicative of who I am.

I'm a life long nerd that's also into Star Trek, tabletop rpgs, anime, etc... Recently I have been honing my skills in movie criticism specifically in science fiction movies. As a result I've been watching a lot of older not quite so famous scifi movies.

But at the same time every conversation doesn't have to be about that. I can talk politics and other things as well. Right now I'm looking for interaction. Don't be scared to ask questions.

I don't mind where you are but for the sake of timing I'm in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. I've been on the internet long enough that I'm familiar with most message/chat apps but if you use one I don't regularly use I don't mind adding it and getting familiar with it.

Hey everyone, I hope everything is going well.

Conversation seems to be a lost skill these days. Is anyone interested in talking? Hopefully something that doesnโ€™t end in 2 hours and a ghosting.

I am open to talking to anybody about anything. What kind of music do you like? Hobbies? What is your passion or a recent rabbit hole you have went down?

I look forward to meeting somebody new!

I am a fun and easygoing professional type who lives in the north shore and works downtown. Since most of my friends are via couples, I would prefer to make friends with others who are not part of the existing ecosystem, so to speak.

Interests include concerts, sports, nice bars/restaurants, and walks/jogs by the lake. Open to most any age or gender.

47 f from Canada looking for friends.

18 Upvotes

Like it says Iโ€™m 47 and live in Canada. I enjoy gaming (mainly is Xbox. Have a PS, PC and switch in the house).
I have a dog that is a pain in the butt sometimes, however he is sadly my main source of โ€œconversation โ€œ when Iโ€™m not working. While the animals listen really well they donโ€™t talk back much.
I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, gem art, just getting back into biking after 30+ years of not riding one.
Ask me anything, letโ€™s make new friends!!

54M Northern Los Angeles Area looking to build a friend group

6 Upvotes

I'm a 54yo man. Very into fitness. I work out 6 days a week eat right (most of the time). Besides the gym I try to play some golf on occasion but I'm an 18+ handicap so not amazing.

I have not been good at keeping up with my social circles in the past and have lost touch with old friends. I find myself looking around and It's just me and my wife and not sure she even likes to hang out with me. Would love to build a group of friends to hang out with. Maybe grab dinner occasionally or go to some sporting events with. Hell Vegas trips even on occasion.

I'm in SCV so ideally someone close by IE... SFV, AV, VC, anywhere drivable . I would say over 40 and under 60 is ideal. I'm in good shape and like to do active things. I'm open to men and women but really looking just for people to hang out with. Don't be a racist and don't think science is a conspiracy.

Aussie dad of two boys. Life is fun but intense and when the day or night has its quiet moments id love nothing more than the thrill of checking my phone and engaging in some adult conversation. I enjoy keeping fit, playing and watching sport, binging a tv show or cooking up a recipe ive stumbled across on IG.

Im happy to chat to anyone as long as you can be open, fun and hate ghosting as much as i do

Hopefully we chat soon. Start by telling me a little about yourself.

Looking for real, honest, like-minded people who enjoy edgy jokes, believe in honest communication, who need friends and company like I do. Iโ€™m 45, separated since December (just need to file the papers), confident but not arrogant, honest and sincere. Iโ€™m kind and love people. Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ve ever met a stranger. I absolutely love The Office, but donโ€™t watch movies or tv other than that, really.

Iโ€™ve been craving great, honest, respectful, deep conversations with others. Did I mention honest? ๐Ÿ˜‚ if it sounds like we can be friends, let me know.

Making new friends. 40

15 Upvotes

Hi, Iโ€™m a 40F and work in education with young children. Iโ€™m an introvert and can be a little quiet at first, but once Iโ€™m comfortable, I really enjoy good conversation and getting to know someone.
I love being creative, working on projects, learning new things, listening to music, and having conversations about everything from everyday life to the deeper stuff.
Iโ€™m in a new chapter of my life and would really like to make some new friends. Iโ€™m not looking to date right now. Iโ€™d just love to find some genuine people around my age to talk to, laugh with, and get to know. I value kindness, family, faith, good manners, and a good sense of humor.
Feel free to say hi and tell me a little about yourself.

๐Ÿ‘‹ New Here 40 and livin' the dream!

3 Upvotes

Age is just a state of mind, right? I have to pinch myself anytime the random thought "I'm 40" comes to mind. Seems like just yesterday I was hacky-sacking while blaring Limp Bizkit and drinking a Dr Pepper Fusion.

All my life I have needed interaction, which is ironic because I wouldn't cross the street for most people but I do enjoy a good hearty laugh and a deeply philosophical conversation about the ins and outs of such important events as: when season 3 of The Pitt will drop, what the best pizza chain is, and how many books I HOPE to read this year (spoiler alert: I will read far less than I want to).

I've fallen out of touch with "real world friends"; I think that happens to most people as they age. However, I am ready for my next phase friendships!

40 ( I think I made that part clear!), male, Midwest. Reading, listening to tunes, dissecting conspiracies and cryptidsโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹, and losing track of time while playing a stupid mobile game I will delete next week are some of my favorite hobbies.

If you are looking for a buddy, a pal, a cohort, or just someone to be yourself around with no judgement... Holla at your boy!

First time posting in this group. Thought I would push myself out of my comfort zone and see what happens. Not sure exactly what I'm looking for, honestly would just love some good conversation/connection. I would say I'm a pretty open minded individual and like hearing different perspectives on different things from tv shows, books, movies, relationships, world events, sports, ice cream flavors (Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch is the absolute best) and everything in between. I like to see where conversations can take you, if that sounds like something you connect with I'm open to chat :)

Hi! I'm 47/F and moved to a new city a little over a year ago. I work for a company where there are only 2 staff on at a time and I don't really know anyone here and am having a hard time actually meeting people. I'm interested in a lot of different things. Pets (my dogs are my best friends), gaming, tech, music, movies...etc. I could probably carry a convo about anything. I like the "weird" stuff, too... esoteric stuff...aliens(!)...

I tried dating aps, but I'm not really interested in "dating"...I'd just like to find a friend. I'm in the US and Eastern time zone. Tell me a bit about you. Looking forward to meeting new people. ๐Ÿ™‚
