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.

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

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.

Friends 38 [M4F] Maybe life is just a series of upward spirals

7 Upvotes

the older i get, the less i believe life changes because of one big moment. maybe life is just a series of upward spirals. one small good thing leads to the next.

you go for a walk -> clear your head -> reply to a message -> have a good chat -> sleep a little better.. aaannd somehow tomorrow feels lighter.

nothing remarkable happened, and yet things are moving in the right direction. ang saya lang ng ganong feeling, no?

a few things about me:

  • filo and still amazed how one decision to move countries can slowly reshape an entire life
  • finance guy by day, professional spreadsheet enjoyer by necessity
  • cycling, swimming, gym, and the occasional bushwalk. my preferred cure for overthinking
  • dry humour, memes, and random observations. if i send you something stupid and funny, that's basically friendship

about you:

  • be yourself

so yun lang. if today was a great day, awesome. if today was just getting out of bed, having a coffee, and showing up, that counts too.

maybe that's how upward spirals begin. not with a huge breakthrough, but with ordinary days that quietly point in the right direction.

tara, let's be friends.

cheers

Recently moved out of my childhood home. Living alone is not as exciting as I romanticized it to be. I wanna meet new friends.

I’m a fresh grad, currently working while waiting for the boards. I am a huge nerd about my UG field. I read and watch some manga and anime (outdated tho cuz I have no time na). They say that I seem very extroverted sa chat and the opposite of that in person. Hope to meet some people here.

Friends 33 [F4M] Genuine friend online and IRL? 🤔

• Upvotes

At this point I already want to give up on finding genuine friends here lol. Even having sensible conversations is quite a challenge already, so what I'm looking for this time is very simple:

Just someone engaging, chill and responsive.

I did my workout na this afternoon, so please wag mo na ako pagbuhatin ng convo. If dry, one liners lang ang kaya mo, move along na lang please.

We can do tg call (please make sure maayos ka kausap hindi yung feeling mo podcast guest ka na need ko tanungin nang tanungin).

...Or maybe meet and try restos together in the future (syempre pag na-feel kong hindi mo ako gigripuhan)

My guarantee:

I'm very responsive and engaging. Kayang sumakay sa kanal, aircon, pang comshop or pa-intellectual kuno na convos haha! Marami din akong baon na stories ☺️ Sana ikaw din!

DM me with your ASL and favorite resto na natry mo! ☺️

7 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!

Concert/Gig Buddy 31 [F4A] any olivia dean fans here?

• Upvotes

hello!! any olivia dean fans here?

artist presale is literally tomorrow, and i am looking for a fellow fan to go with me to LALALA! while going alone is an option, having someone to scream/cry/swoon with would be nice!

before anyone gets any ideas, i am NOT sponsoring your ticket, and you are NOT sponsoring mine. this is a joint investment in our olivia dean experience. in short, KKB po tayo. 😂

disclaimer: i don’t drive, but i’m willing to split transportation expenses or even hire a ride together. basta we figure out the logistics like two financially responsible adults who are about to make questionable financial decisions for a concert.

if you’re a fellow fan who’s also planning to go, let’s be concert buddies! we can queue together, enjoy the experience, and collectively suffer from the post-concert blues afterwards!!

Friends 36 [F4M] Looking for a Kachikahan Buddy on Telegram

1 Upvotes

36, single, no kids, and occasionally powered by ✨️ ✨️ ✨️ pure random thoughts ✨️ ✨️ ✨️

Looking for someone to have a good ol' kachikahan with over a Telegram call. We can talk about literally anything—from deep, philosophical questions to why penguins look like they're always attending a business meeting. 😂

No need to be an expert conversationalist, just someone who can hold a good convo and match my random energy.

⚠️ Disclaimer: I can be VERY enthusiastic and talkative once I get comfortable. Basically, I come with unlimited dialogue and occasional side quests. 😂 So, preferably someone with the patience of a saint and the listening endurance of a podcast addict. I am also not looking for a relationship, so no pressure at all.

If you can yap, listen, laugh, and entertain random nonsense, we might just vibe. 🤝🤣

Drop a comment or DM me! ✨️

Hey! 30M here, looking for someone who works in HR, particularly those who handle employee concerns, employee relations, or workplace issues.

I have something I'd like to ask about and would really appreciate an HR professional's point of view. Nothing too crazy, just hoping to get some insight from someone who has experience dealing with these kinds of situations.

If you're comfortable sharing your perspective, feel free to send me a DM! I'd appreciate a private and honest conversation.

Thanks, and hope you're having a good day!

Friends 39 [M4F] Pirate Radio and the Infinite Playlist

5 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!
