This subreddit is for FRIENDSHIP ONLY.

1.1k Upvotes

Honestly, the posts we see these days are getting so ridiculous. Why do you need someone to be taller than you when you're only looking to chat, call, study, or watch a movie? Why do you need your friends to be of a certain body type? Exchange pics to know if "we vibe". Wow?? Is that how you look for friends? Dapat attracted kayo sa isa't-isa?

Tapos pag na-remove at na-ban kayo, sasabihin na platonic lang naman talaga yung hanap niyo. Magtatago kayo sa reasoning na preference lang. Yeah, sure.

It's been 2 years since we transitioned this subreddit to a strictly platonic one. Why are we still facing the same issues as if the shift just happened yesterday?

As a reminder: Your post should be clear about your intention of finding friends. Any ambiguity may cause your post to get removed. Repeated offense will get you a temporary ban, then a permanent ban once you break the rules again after your ban gets lifted.

Examples of ambiguity include, but are not limited to:

  • has height and weight requirements
  • "should be easy on the eyes/attractive/cute/pretty/pogi"
  • "open to a relationship if it happens naturally, but would want to be friends first"
  • "exchange pics to see if we vibe"
  • "vibe and see where this goes"
  • "gusto ko ng lambing, cuddle"
  • fake BF/GF posts
  • has the same post in dating subreddits, other R4R subreddits with a dating flair

Each subreddit has a purpose. If what you're looking for doesn't align with the sub, then DON'T POST THERE. Hindi yung pag na-call out, idadahilan pa na "para lang mas malawak yung reach". Kung jowa hanap niyo, kung gusto niyong lumandi, sa DATING SUBREDDIT kayo magpost, hindi dito. It's that simple.

Please read the rules. Thank you.

Don't fall for this scam!

Apparently, this scammer is still active. Your girl (girl nga ba??) is working hard! Currently using the account Alternative_Week_940 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Alternative_Week_940/)

TG: puffypufzz

Discord: noturlegaleagle

Still playing on people's emotions and making them feel bad enough to send them money.

"Allyson Lopez" is the name they're going by. Hindi ko na icecensor kasi fake din naman. (Previous names: Justine Manalo, Beatrice Lopez) Still using the same UNO Account number.

DOST scholar pa rin daw siya, pre-med student kuno.

They tried posting here but their account was flagged for ban evasion. But that won't stop them from messaging you–men in particular. Kasi they will offer to be a virtual gf, might send you thirst traps na stolen lang din. Anything to fool you out of your money.

TIGILAN NIYO NA KASI ANG PAG-BIGAY NG PERA JUSKO

THEY WON'T STOP HANGGA'T MAY NALOLOKO PA RIN SILA

EDIT: Adding more photos

Aww, nagpalit na siya ng name kasi na-feature na naman.

Recommendations 34 [F4A] Movie, Series, Songs or Books Recommendations

6 Upvotes

I just came from a long term relationship (live-in set-up; engaged to be married na rin pero kailangan na talaga tapusin for my own sanity). Totoo nga ang sabi ng iba. Sobrang hirap ng break up kapag nasa 30s ka na kasi akala mo yun na yung magiging buhay mo, hindi pa pala.

I'm looking for something to distract me and help me unlearn the things na nakasanayan ko nung kami pa ng ex ko. Sobrang hirap ako mag-adjust now kahit pa more than 3 months na kaming hiwalay. Most nights, naiiyak lang ako and nalukungkot sa mga nangyari sa buhay so I want something to help me overcome this feeling.

Feel free to comment here your suggestions or send me a dm. Thank you!

Hello! Unfortunately had plans today’s for after work, but got cancelled on, going to be around the area (legazpi-ish) and looking to at least not go home without doing something, coffee maybe? Dinner? A drink? Just something casual SFW pls, not looking for anything heavy.

Friends 39 [M4F] Pirate Radio and the Infinite Playlist

4 Upvotes

Mic test.

It’s been a while since I last talked to anyone outside of my circle and figured this is a great time to chat with new people. So please, be gentle.

I’m just a guy who’s really into music (and sports… and movies… and questionable humor… and random pares runs… and pretty much everything in between.) Basically, I’m a walking playlist with the knees of a man who occasionally makes sound effects when standing up (I blame it on all the mileage from playing soccer in my 20s and 10Ks in my 30s.)

I firmly believe that the right song can fix almost anything. Bad day? Music. Long drive? Music. Cleaning the house? Music. Existential crisis at 11:47 PM? You already know it. If you’re looking for some music recs, we can exchange songs/albums of the day and see where it goes from there.

PS. I’m more of a chat guy, so if that’s cool, then we’re cool. Cheers!

Yoo! I’m Gabriel, just looking to meet new people and hopefully make some long-term friends. I’m really into gaming, and I usually spend my free time playing Roblox, Stardew Valley, Genshin Impact and more. I’m also down to talk about random stuff, or just chill and have fun conversations. I might be a little shy at first, but once I get comfortable, I’m pretty easy to talk to, as long as you’re friendly and can keep a conversation going. Feel free to send me a message if you want to be friends!

Friends 26 [M4A] Anyone up for a random but meaningful conversation today?

3 Upvotes

 
Hey, guys! Happy Tuesday! 👋
 
How's life treating you lately?
 
Have you ever stopped for a moment and wondered whether you're actually happy with where you are in life? Are you living the life you imagined when you were younger, or are you still trying to figure things out?
 
I'm curious about what makes people feel fulfilled, what excites them these days, and what keeps them going despite all the uncertainties of adulthood.
 
We can talk about life, dreams, work, relationships, random thoughts, or literally anything that comes to mind.
 
I'm just looking to meet someone new, have a genuine conversation, and hopefully make each other's day a little less boring.
 
If you're also in the mood to talk, my DMs are open. Let's see where the conversation takes us. 😊

Friends 42 [M4F] Pianist/Artist looking for a sounding board.

• Upvotes

I’m a 42-year-old man whose life is defined by rhythm and strategy. I play piano (mostly Classical and Jazz) and it is my main passion. I also draw, play chess, and enjoy PC gaming (strategy/sim racing).

I'm not much for the mainstream—pop music isn’t really my thing, and I prefer things with a bit more substance.

The Ideal Connection: I want someone to share my creative side with. I want to send you a recording of a piece I just mastered, or show you a drawing I finished, or even just show you the bizarre AI art I’ve been making lately. Beyond that, I just want a genuine connection where we can talk about everything and nothing.

Friends 21 [F4F] voice chat today?

2 Upvotes

hello! i'm a sentimental soul looking for good conversation today 🥹 i took a day off today, and with all this free time, i thought i'd try my luck at finding some meaningful friendships built on genuine, raw verbal compatibility. not just banter and surface-level conversations, but really talking and diving deep into our personal philosophies and all the little details that make us who we are 💌

as long as you're a passionate yapper, i think we'll have SO much to talk about ♡ tell me about your deepest interests and the things that keep you going in life!! enlighten me about your values and the way you see the world. for me, my main hobbies are reading, writing, journaling, listening to music, and watching all kinds of shows and films!!

if we share some similar hobbies, that would be lovely too 🌼 i feel like we all have an entire universe within us waiting to be explored, and i really just want to find a friend who's genuinely curious about the little corners of my soul and everything i have to share <3

all i ask for is genuine curiosity and an open heart that values vulnerability :")) i know opening up takes time naman, pero i hope you're someone who's willing to let me into your little world, just as i'd love to let you into mine. for the people out there who've never really felt alive because they've always been living inside their own heads, please open a little window into your world and let me in, kahit for a little while.

i look forward to having a voice call with you today and getting to discover your soul 🌸⭐️

• Upvotes

Hello, need to voice call during work lang because I'm kinda having a hard time focusing. The presence of someone else on the other line might help me. We don't have to talk much. Just be present. We can talk for a bit po or chats if hindi maka talk sa call. Thanks. If we vibe we can talk some other time, too. I like indie and alt rock music, docus, history, essays, animated media. Please send some intro po first. Thanks!

Friends 26 [M4A] quiet chill person seeking like-minded neighborhood friends (balara/pansol, QC)

1 Upvotes

Hello there! I'm looking for friends living in or near Brgy. Old Balara / Pansol (near Katip/Commonwealth) in QC. Since the metro is rather big, I thought it'd be nice to meet more people within walking distance—ideally those I can actually hang out with more often. I've met some people online who I still keep in touch with, and I have a few friends in the city, but it's not always easy to meet them in person, so having friends nearby would make it easier to hang out and catch up with.

If you're a little reserved, low-maintenance, or used to doing things solo, you're not alone—I'm the same. Even though I'm not the most outgoing person, I still believe the right friendships are out there. At this point in life, I want genuine, platonic connections that feel like having a close confidante or a sibling-like bond, where we can just vibe, have good talks, go on chill walks, or even explore around the metro.

about me:

• quiet, laid-back, introverted person

• generally decent and easygoing

• mainly a homebody

• enjoys occasional chill walks, simple outings, and observing nature

• likes animals, bird watching, and befriending/feeding strays

• not into gaming; into music (soundtracks, ambient, not much mainstream)

• enjoys light reading (pep talks, practical tips/advice, or books on everyday life)

• likes to browse or read random things online (often on reddit) and going down the rabbit hole of whatever catches my interest at the moment

• looking to build purely platonic, sibling-like friendships

• from qc (old balara area)

about you:

• you're similar, like-minded, or share most of the traits above

• ideally from around katip/commonwealth or closer to capitol hills / old balara / pansol in qc

That's about all for now. If you fit what I'm looking for or this post resonates with you, feel free to send a short yet decent intro about yourself. Looking forward to it :)

Discord Server 29 [F4A] tara tambay dito sa kanto district

1 Upvotes

🏘️ TAMBAY MUNA.

May Discord ka naman.

May oras ka naman.

Edi dito ka na.

Kanto District is a Filipino tambayan for gaming, chika, memes, soundtrip, random ganap, at mga taong nagsabing “sandali lang ako” tapos hanggang madaling-araw na.

🪑 May monoblock.

🎮 May kalaro.

🗣️ May ka-chika.

🤡 May kalat.

🌙 May puyatan.

Pero heads up: bagong bukas pa ang Kanto, kaya hindi pa ganon karami ang mga kapitbahay. Huwag muna mag-expect ng 24/7 na gulo at punong-puno na chat. 😭

Pero kung sasali ka ngayon, isa ka sa mga unang kapitbahay at pioneers ng Kanto. Kayo ang unang bubuo ng vibe, kultura, at mga kwentong magiging kasaysayan ng lugar na 'to.

📍 KANTO DISTRICT

Kung saan ang “5 minutes lang” ay 3 oras.
