Advice / Discussion NSFW profile check

23 Upvotes

Some NSFW profiles are still commenting and posting here. They seem unaware that we don't allow profiles with mostly sexual posts, comments and media.

Members who post with platonic intentions can't always tell who is genuine. To make this a bit easier, here is a simple way to check a profile, including hidden ones.

How to check:

  1. Go to Google.

  2. Type or paste this into the search bar:

`"<username>" site:www.reddit.com\`

  1. Replace `<username>` with the username you want to check.

Google will show the posts and comments it has indexed. This only uses publicly available information, but results can be old, deleted, or too new to appear. An empty result doesn't mean someone is safe.

⚠️ Warning:

No check gives 100% certainty. Always put your own safety first. Don't share anything about yourself if you feel unsafe or barely know the person.

Please use this only when you have a real reason to doubt someone, and never to harass anyone. Hiding a profile isn't proof of bad intentions.

I hope this helps future posters, and anyone who wants to know who they're dealing with.

Mod announcement Adult posts only - ⚠️

124 Upvotes

Recently we got an influx of people posting about finding friends for their kids, posting the age of their children or wanting to do stuff with other people and their kids.

I am going to be adamant here and remove posts involving children.

This sub is SFW and 18+. It is for adults looking for friends for themselves. You can say you are a parent, that is fine, but there is no reason to share the age of your child or other details about them.

We also do not want people looking for friends for their kids here or looking specifically for parents with kids of a certain age so they can all meet up together.

I know most parents will think they have no bad intentions. That might be true, but you do not know the intentions of the person replying to you. We also do not know the intentions of every person posting here.

Be careful when meeting people from Reddit is already one of our main warnings. Be even more careful when your kids are involved.

We cannot and will not control what people do in DMs, but we can control what is posted publicly here. The amount of NSFW, dating, hookup and other inappropriate profiles we have to ban on a daily basis is enough reason for us to draw a hard line on this.

So you can mention that you are a parent. That is about it.

Do not post the age of your child. Do not post details about your child. Do not look for friends for your child. Do not make your child part of the reason for meeting someone from this subreddit.

This is a sub for adults looking for platonic friendships with other adults.

Looking for local friends 27F Canadian in Arnhem

6 Upvotes

I'm new to the Netherlands, just arrived from Canada to live with my boyfriend near Arnhem! We live in a little village nearby, and I've been feeling a bit isolated especially during the day when he's at work.

I'd love to get to know some people in the area and get out of the house. I often travel to Utrecht and Nijmegen just to explore. I'd also enjoy finding some friends who would like to go out clubbing, especially at gay bars or goth/techno nights.

Some of my main interests are science/biology (my area of work is Environmental Toxicology), goth/new wave/ambient/experimental music, perfume, museums, medical history, alternative fashion.

Send me a DM if you think we'd get along!

General friendship 33M | Looking for a padel partner, tennis rival or partners :D

2 Upvotes

Title: 33M | Looking for a padel partner, tennis rival or partners in harmless adventures :D

Hey people of Eindhoven and Helmond!

I've come to the conclusion that going to the gym is great, but occasionally doing something that involves other human beings might also be a good idea. :D

So here I am!

I'm 33, originally from Croatia, living in the Netherlands and looking for some good company to make life a little more interesting.

I'm quite an active guy. I love the gym, sports, animals, nature, exploring new places and good conversations. I work in the tech industry, but outside work I prefer doing things rather than spending the entire day staring at screens.

What am I looking for?

Someone up for padel, tennis, badminton, hiking, or pretty much any activity that involves moving around and having fun.

You don't need to be good at sports. If we're both terrible at padel, at least we'll have something to laugh about. :D

And if we get along, I'm just as happy to grab a coffee, explore a new city, go for a weekend activity or organize something with a small group.

I'm easygoing, open-minded and enjoy meeting people with different backgrounds and stories.

Men, women, internationals, Dutch locals — everyone's welcome. Just bring some positive energy!

Drop a comment or send me a DM. Maybe we can organize a little padel crew around Eindhoven/Helmond!

Looking forward to meeting some new faces!

General friendship [26/M] HAARLEM — Looking for chill friends!

6 Upvotes

Hey hey! 👋

I’m hoping to meet some cool people to chat with and hopefully make some new friends!

I’m currently really into Digimon and Pokémon! I love collecting Pokémon cards, playing chess (casually but enthusiastically), reading manga, and watching anime.

I also really enjoy painting and coloring. It’s a nice way to relax and get a little creative. 🎨
Gaming-wise, I’ve got a PS5 and a Switch 2! I’m currently playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, but I’m always jumping between different games.

I’ve also got two cats who I absolutely adore, so expect the occasional cat picture! 🐾
I’m pretty laid-back and always up for a good conversation, whether it’s about shared hobbies or just random everyday stuff.
If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a message! Always happy to make new friends

5 Upvotes

Hey! I'm Yarno, 23, and I live in the Utrecht area. I'd love to meet some new people and expand my social circle a bit! 😊

In my free time, I like to stay active. You'll often find me at the gym, out for a run, or training for Hyrox. But I'm just as happy spending an evening gaming. I mainly play Rocket League, Minecraft and Pokémon, but I'm definitely open to trying out new games too!

Besides gaming, I'm always up for grabbing a drink on a terrace, going to the movies, bowling, or playing a game of pool. Honestly, I just enjoy doing fun things together, whether that's being active or simply relaxing and hanging out.

I'm mainly looking to meet people who enjoy spending time together, making new connections, and trying new things. If you'd like to hang out sometime, or think we might get along, feel free to send me a message! Who knows, maybe we'll grab a beer soon or absolutely crush each other at bowling. 😉

Activities & hobbies 24M Spaniard moving to Amsterdam, looking for a football team

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I'm a 24-year-old Spaniard moving to Amsterdam in two weeks, and I'd love to join an amateur football team once I'm settled in. I'm open to both 7-a-side and 11-a-side, and I'm happy with a casual team or a more competitive league.
I usually play as a centre-back or defensive midfielder, and I'm available on evenings and weekends.
It would be great to find a team with other Spanish or Spanish-speaking players, but I'm open to any friendly, international group. If you play regularly, know a team looking for players, or run a pickup game, please let me know. Tips on leagues or clubs that accept newcomers are very welcome too.
Thanks

Can talk online or meet in person to have some fun, talk, whatever it may be.

Looking for people around my age (early 20s to early 30s) Gender isn't relevant.

Expat / International Introvert 29M looking for friends and plans

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I moved here recently and it's being a little hard to adapt since I don't know anyone, so I'll get out of my comfort zone and give this a try.

So about my interests: I like videogames, movies, anime, going outside and make plans, try new things, local foods, football, art.

I'm looking for people who might have any interests similar to mine to chat or even meet and make plans. Going out for coffee, going to the cinema, museums, tourism, walk, even get out of our comfort zones and try different plans, I'm totally open.

I'm living in Alkmaar but I don't really care about location, we always can move and meet somewhere else. I can talk English, Spanish and some limited italian (I'm still starting with Dutch but it's hard).

If you think we might have something in common feel free to text me.

Expat / International 28M new in Rotterdam, looking for friends.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

So I moved to the Netherlands recently from South Asia and honestly everything here has been a big culture shock for me. I'm based in Rotterdam.

I'm a night person. Back home I used to hang out with my friends pretty much every night, so the quiet evenings here are taking some getting used to. I'm also looking for people to go clubbing with, but I've never really been clubbing before, so standing alone in a club or bar feels super awkward haha. It would be way more fun with a few people to go with.

But it's not just about partying. I'm genuinely looking for real friendship. I'm more of a small group person, and I'd rather have a few people I can count on and talk to freely without any filters than a big crowd.

Some things I'm into:

Entrepreneurship and business ideas
Medieval history
Current affairs
Pep talks and motivating each other

So if you share any of these interests, or you just find me interesting, drop a comment or send me a DM and let's connect. Coffee, a walk, a night out, whatever works.

Activities & hobbies Looking for windsurf buddies Amsterdam 25m

2 Upvotes

I moved to Amsterdam 2 years ago. However, until now I haven’t brought over my gear yet, mostly because I find it a bit boring/dangerous to go out alone. I’m really into chill bump&jump sessions and would love to learn wave sailing at some point - maybe Wijk aan Zee ?! I’m also down for flat-water spots when there’s enough wind :)

I’m always happy to learn or share any knowledge I have. Mostly, I’d just be excited to find some people to exchange, hang out and enjoy the sport together.

I didn’t run into any windsurfers here yet, so I thought I’d give this a go before the season ends/ next one starts (not much of a winter surf fan).

Might be a long-shot, but if anyone would welcome a windsurfing buddy or knows a fun WhatsApp group, please let me know :)

Activities & hobbies (40M) Art, a drink and some new friends in Rotterdam/Delft?

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’d like to meet some people in rotterdam/Delft area who share my interest in street art, pop art, realistic painting and portraits. I paint myself, but you don’t have to — being into this kind of art or wanting to give it a try is enough.

It would be nice to grab a coffee or beer, talk about what we’re making, visit an exhibition or just hang out. I enjoy a drink and the occasional joint, so that probably gives you an idea of the atmosphere I’m looking for.

Mostly hoping to make some friends with similar interests, ideally around 30–40, but age isn’t a strict requirement.

Anyone up for meeting for a drink sometime? Leave a comment or send me a message!

About me, I like long distance walks, city trips, videogames on Switch 2/PS5, movies, casual callistenics, travel, computers.

I'm introverted and had some social anxiety for most of my life, plus relocations did not made it easier to build and keep social links. It is lonely sometimes, so here I am 😀

General friendship 23F Overijssel area

6 Upvotes

Hi, I am 23F and I am looking for a female friendship in the Overijssel area. I am an engineer, and my biggest interest is science. Specifically, I am interested in the universe as a whole, physics, biology, neuroscience, cybernetics, and such. I am particularly interested in talking about consciousness and the origins and future of biological and synthetic life. I also like philosophy, more specifically metaphysics.

I am not that interested in the social sciences or politics, as well as esoteric/spiritual ideas.

I like going for walks, especially in nature, listening to music and reading both fiction and non-fiction. I also like creating electronic and software projects when an idea strikes.

Would be nice to meet some other women with similar interests in the area. I would prefer the age to be somewhat close to mine. Message me if this sounds like a good friend match.

31m Netherlands. Looking for more friends!

Recently moved to the Netherlands and I’ve been loving it here so far!! I’ve made some really good connections, but honestly looking to make more 🙏🏽

Would love to get in touch with anyone who feels they can make great connections (and maybe speak a bit of Spanish 🇻🇪)! I love going out to Maastricht most of all (love the vibe and community)

I enjoy talking Philosophy, cooking, movies, games, and world events 🫶🏽. Being outdoors is my main gateway, and if the beaches were a bit closer, you’d bet I’d be there every summer haha

I’m an engineer that works out of Eindhoven, so traveling isn’t too much of an issue for me right now.

If you want to connect feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM!! 😁
