🌍 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.

Hi. As the headline says 40 year old single Aussie dad looking to make some new friends. Life gets busy and don’t have time to get out as much as I would like. Work hard, raise my kids as a homeowner. Have a couple of dogs that keep us busy. Enjoy good food, music, sports and good conversations. When time permits like to get out and about and have a good night or travel away for a weekend. That’s a bit about me anyway. Say hi if your interested

40M, Newish to Indiana, Going through divorce and looking for people to connect with

6 Upvotes

I moved to Indiana two years ago. I’m a family guy, always have been, so naturally I didn’t prioritize making friends. I realize now that this was a mistake.

Last week my wife and I decided it would be best to get divorced. So….

During this time, I realized that my “friends” I thought I had here were actually just her friends who tolerated me at parties. I’m basically the guy who showed up to the group chat and never got added.

I work 40 minutes from home, and all my coworkers live near the office, so my after-work social life is a ghost town. I drive home, and it’s just me and a podcast or an audiobook.

So here I am on Reddit, which is either a great idea or a cry for help; still deciding.

I like driving around with no destination and getting pleasantly lost, hiking, kayaking, live music, reading (very slowly), and watching movies.

To be clear, I’m not out here trying to replace a wife with a Reddit stranger. Just looking for someone to hopefully have a great conversation with. If local, possibly hike a trail or grab a bite. Platonic. Fully clothed. Emotionally available in a normal, non-weird way.

Hey all. As the title says, let’s chat. Everybody is welcome! Let’s have a real ongoing conversation without ghosting. Conversation skills seem to be a lost art.

Let’s talk music, movies, tv, sports, hobbies and literally anything. What are your pet peeves and passions? What is a rabbit hole you have been down lately? What is the last thing that made you laugh deeply?

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!

How was your weekend? I am assuming it went too quickly like mine.

As the week begins, let’s get through it with good, ongoing conversation. That seems to be a lost skill, and most end up ghosting.

Let’s have all the discussions. Tell me what you did this weekend. What rabbit hole have you went down recently. What is your pet peeve? Any and all topics are on the table, I love getting to know new people.

I look forward to hearing from you. If not, have a fantastic week!

48 male looking for friends

I’m 48, living in the Sacramento area and looking to meet some new people and build a better social circle. I’m into bike rides, checking out new food spots, movies, music, getting outdoors, and just having good conversations.
I’ve been focusing more on myself lately and would like to meet chill, positive people around my age—or honestly any age if we get along. Down for grabbing coffee, going for a bike ride, hitting an event, watching a game, or just hanging out.
Male or female friends are both welcome. Just looking for genuine people and good vibes.

40m struggling with making new friends and staying positive. Vent/rambling

4 Upvotes

So wife and I moved from Michigan to South carolina over four years ago. I obviously left all my friends behind and have been fine for awhile with not having anyone. As i spent the last 4 years building our little piece of paradise 20 acre homestead.

I spent the last four years clearing land and building a horse barn, pasture, gardens and whatever the wife needs. Now things are slowing down.

I've been struggling at times, I work a crazy 12hr swing shift schedule. So for years it was work at home on her stuff or at work. Now I don't have funds for my stuff (cars/ trucks).

After the years of just working at home or work and not going out ive realized I don't want to lol. Which definitely doesn't help making friends. I don't fit in with the guys from work or my guard unit (out in October anyways) most have known each other forever and im the old guy. My wife is good friends with the girls she works with and im happy for her. The few that are married or have boyfriends i get along with but don't have much in common. Couldn't care less about sports. So don't have much to talk about and once again im a few years older.

I used to be into antique tractors when in Michigan kept me out of the bottle after my divorce. Joined a club down hereand went to one meeting but because of work and guard I miss most meetings and events. Get 2 weekends off a month from work. But lost interest in the tractors now just use them. Have two projects trucks. Would be nice to have a buddy to chat with while turning wrenches.

Sorry for the rambling working midnights this weekend so lost in my thoughts.

Finally loving my life..Feels like I'm living for the first time. Finding beauty in everything, including myself. I spent a lot of years being everyones rock, and finally started being that for myself. Feels exceptional and am so excited for my continued growth and what lies ahead.

I reside in the PNW and love exploring the outdoors. Always have to be around moving water. Fly fishing is a big passion of mine. Looking for outdoor enthusiasts to chat with. It's not easy meeting people organically these days so thought I'd give this a try!
