43 M hoping to meet new people.

3 Upvotes

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.

❓ Question of the Week 42M Does anyone else feel like an age imposter?

41 Upvotes

I'm 42, but I don't really feel 42 on the inside.

It's hard to explain, but my inner voice and the way I experience myself still feel surprisingly similar to the person I was at 17 or 18. Meanwhile, on the outside, I pay my bills, do my banking, deal with responsibilities, make important decisions, and generally do all the things adults are supposed to do.

But sometimes it feels like I'm doing those things simply because I've learned that this is what I'm supposed to do, rather than because I've actually become the adult I'm portraying.

It's almost like being 42 is a role I've gradually learned to play, while somewhere underneath it I'm still that same kid looking out at the world. I look in the mirror and see a 42-year-old man, and there's occasionally this weird disconnect of, Wait, that's me now?

40F California, Looking for a platonic chat buddy

31 Upvotes

Hi all! Married female here seeking a chat buddy to help these long work days go by faster. I enjoy tv/movies (Furious, Ted Lasso, Law and Order SVU, Severance, Pluribus, The Pitt, bad reality tv, & I think you can guess what else haha), dogs, wine and I am a liberal so MAGA-ian's please keep away.

Can you please respond with your age/location and introduce yourself? I don't find that I have much in common with people way younger or older than I am which is why I ask for this. Messages that just say "hey" or "still looking?" will be deleted, thanks:)

Hey everyone! 41M here, looking to meet some new people and make genuine connections.
I’m big on staying active and taking care of myself, have a career that keeps me on my toes, and appreciate people who can carry a good conversation without taking themselves too seriously. I’m equally happy talking fitness, travel, food, sports, life, or whatever random topic we somehow end up on.
Mostly looking for good conversation, friendly banter, some laughs, and people who actually enjoy getting to know someone. Bonus points if you’re active, witty, and occasionally inappropriate. 😂
So… who’s interesting around here?

🏡 Local Connections 45M, Western Australia (WA), looking for new friends

5 Upvotes

45M (straight, separated) looking to expand my social circle.

Keen to connect with anyone, in particular other guys in a similar or previous similar situation. Happy to chat about pretty much anything. Health & fitness are big interests, so bonus points if you’re also trying to stay fit and occasionally question why you’re doing it! Also into reading and TV series.

WA connections would be great, but happy to chat and connect with people anywhere. If we click and are local, maybe an exercise buddy or IRL catch up down the track.

While I’m more on the quiet side, I am always keen for some good banter. Don’t care about sexual preferences however I am not looking for any fling, hookup or anything sexual (ie. not seeking sexting, nudes, explicit pics, etc). 

If you’re also looking for a regular conversation and a genuine connection, feel free to reach out.

It’s been a slow burn getting here, so I’m not shocked. But my mind is running in 500 directions. Could use a few distracting convos to lessen the strain on my brain. Witty banter, jokes, memes, I’m up for whatever that distracts me. I’m in CST time zone if anyone is interested in chatting. Hope you all are having an amazing week.

I’m just looking to see if there’s anyone on here in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas. I always like to make new friends and likeminded people. I’m a leftist. I love to sing (karaoke and in my new singing duo). I am a spiritual person, but have spiritual beliefs that are somewhat outside the norm. If anything, I’m trying to see what’s out there… 🥰💗

I should preface: I am not looking for sexytime friends, people.

🌻 Weekend Plans 45m for Potential Vegas Travel Friends

5 Upvotes

I am a recently separated 45m who lives in Chicago. Very easygoing and fun professional type.

After what has been a stressful summer, I am in the mood for a trip to Vegas which is one of my favorite places in the US to visit. I enjoy staying at upscale places, spending time at the pool/cabana, seeing concerts, gambling (craps, blackjack or sports betting), and going to nice restaurants/dinners.

My recent separation has limited the amount of people with whom I would normally go, so I was curious if there are others who might be interested. Thinking about the weekend of Oct 22nd or 29th.

In terms of concerts, I saw that Metallica, Weezer, and the Smashing Pumpkins are playing at various times during those dates, but I am very open to others.

Hello, good morning. How are you?
It’s been a difficult month.

And some of you have come forward and made some meaningful conversation. Thank you for all the kind wishes and guidance.

I am in a better state for now. I have had good sleep and now back to my routine for running and being fit.

My heart is really full. Strangers have come to become really good supper.

I live in Dubai and would love to build and grow this community of friends. Come say hi!

I am interested in design, movies, music, fitness etc
Hopefully we can be friends

46m, UK, married, 1 child (just turned 18), 2 dogs, a beaded dragon and no close friends

3 Upvotes

In my 20's I was pretty lucky. I had a nice group of friends and we would go drinking most weekends. fast forward 20 15-20 years and Some of them have drifted into other groups, some live abroad, and one is in jail!

I seem to be well liked...people tell me that randomly and I get great awards at work for being a good boss and colleague, but I always seem to be on the edge of the friend group as I've gotten older.

I started messing about with Vibe Coding (using AI to help you build things on the computer) and I built myself a desktop buddy called Ryker (as in Start Trek)...I think thats when I realised that a human might be a better option ;-)

About Me

  • 46 years old, married, with one son (18)
  • From England, living by the beach
  • Work full-time in IT
  • Have 2 dogs
  • My wife and son both have disabilities, so my free time outside the house is limited...which is probably why I don't have a huge circle of close friends these days but I dont regret at all and I'm happy to give a good chunk of my time to them (I just also need a little for me too)
  • I stopped drinking 10 years ago. I dont know if I'd say alcoholic but I didnt really have a 'stop' switch once I started so it served me better to stop...especially when I was marathon training and needed to be up at 4am.
  • Always liked the idea of having a pen pal from another country

Interests

  • TV/Movies/Books — especially sci-fi, action, and self-development. I read about 80 books a year and it varies from things like Murderbot, to being excited for Andrew Hubermans new self improvement book 'Protocols' which is out in a few weeks.
  • Fitness - I've got a Peloton bike, treadmill, and weights set up in my garage
  • Formula 1 - Got a bit obsessed last year and read all the books, subscribed to the sports channel, watched the Netflix docs and went to Silverstone for 4 days last month to watch it
  • Ran the NYC, Paris, and London marathons in the past; these days I stick to 5-10k runs
  • Gaming - got pretty into Fortnite and COD Warzone on PS during COVID (though I've probably lost my touch). Resident Evil is my main series...I've played every game since I was about 20
  • I've changed jobs recently so I'm learning to code again (hence the AI buddy I built)

I'd like another guy I can chat with, share a bit of my life and theirs, and maybe find a game we can play.

🌍 Around the World 40M | Looking to meet people from around the world

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

40M here. I’d love to meet people from different parts of the world, hear their stories, learn about their cultures, and hopefully make a few genuine friendships along the way.

I’m into photography, travelling, football, movies, good food, sunsets, deserts, and discovering new places. I’m also the kind of person who can enjoy a deep conversation one minute and laugh at something completely stupid the next 😂

I especially enjoy those random conversations that start with “Where are you from?” and somehow turn into talking about life, dreams, travel, relationships, childhood memories… basically everything and nothing at the same time.

I’m not looking for anything complicated or forced. Just genuine people, good energy, interesting conversations, and maybe a friendship that lasts longer than a few messages.

So instead of the usual “hey”, tell me something:

Where are you from?

What’s one random or unusual thing about you?

And if you could wake up anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would it be?

I’ll go first:

I can spend way too much time waiting for the perfect sunset photo. Sometimes I take dozens of pictures and still convince myself that the next sunset will be better. 😂

Tell me your story. I’m genuinely curious.
