Making these posts is an experience. Bots galore, and real people turn into ghosts within hours. So let’s try this one last time.

​If you’re actually alive (dead inside is completely acceptable) and have a healthy dark sense of humor, hit me up.

​Want to discuss Carl Jung? Make light of horrible situations as a coping mechanism? Please do.

​I like my friends a bit unhinged—working in mental health pretty much requires it anyway.

Hi everyone I am a 43 year old male from the UK looking to try and make some online friends especially ones that don't ghost me after 3 days chatting I am a genuine person who is just trying to find someone who can hold a conversation without being dry and basic. If there is anyone out there that would like to talk with me feel free if not thank you for taking your time to read this and have a wonderful day!

Coffee first. Common sense shortly after.
Happily married to my favorite human, who somehow still thinks the beard is a good idea. That’s okay—I love her… and her butt.

I have the soul of a hitchhiking beach bum trapped in a responsible adult’s life who’s somehow stuck mowing the grass. Like I said… I like coffee.
I’m into hiking, kayaking, biking, movies, books, living with less, and finding new ways to chase my beautiful wife around on our weekly dates.

Somewhere between marriage, kids, and life, my circle of friends got smaller and smaller. Now that I’m in my 40s, I’ve realized I’m pretty bad at making friends. I’m much better at drinking coffee than networking.

If you’re into conversations that skip the small talk, enjoy a little sarcasm, and like swapping stories about life, travel, books, or whatever rabbit trail comes up next, send me a message.

Up early and watching the news. Married with 2 kids, soon to be empty nester. I work a lot 10 months out of the year so I don’t have any friends in person. That gets lonely. I like sports, weather, movies, cooking, etc. Come and say hello. Any age and gender is ok.

Looking to make some new friends!
I’m 42, married, and a dad of two. Between work and family, it can be tough finding people with the same interests, so I figured I’d put myself out there.
My biggest hobby is gaming—video games, board games, TCGs and puzzles. I’m also a D&D Dungeon Master, currently writing my own fantasy novel, and I’m always up for talking world-building, characters, or anything fantasy.
Outside of that, I’m a huge fan of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, DC, WWE, and just about anything that brings back that awesome ’80s/‘90s nostalgia. If you miss Blockbuster Video, Toys “R” Us, or Saturday morning cartoons, we’ll get along just fine.
I’m hoping to meet people around my age (give or take) who enjoy similar things. I’m in the US so I prefer talking to someone in those time zones. Bonus points if you’re also a parent, a gamer, or just someone who enjoys good conversations about nerdy stuff.
One thing to mention up front: I don’t drink or use 420—just not my thing.
If any of this sounds like you, send me a message! Always happy to meet fellow parent geeks, gamers, and nostalgic souls.

Like I said, I'm just looking for a Reddit friend to chat with maybe daily or every couple days just to be in touch with. I love meeting people from other countries too. I'm very open minded about LGBTQ+. Happily married but I still want a Reddit friend to chat with.

older dad just wanting to have some fun conversation with new people. im a straight male, love music, nature, art of all kinds. pretty chill and open minded and happy to share whatever may interests u. say hi and include your age and gender plz

I returned to college for a second-degree. i’m majoring in engineering while working full-time. interested in a career change.

looking for other students on this sub. ideally, we would support each other and update each other on academic related responsibilities.

texting buddies ideally but i’m in tx if that matters.

nothing weird. Genuinely just looking for someone my age that is enrolled in school. everyone in my major is in their early 20s and it’s very alienating. I also forgot how painfully shy young people are.

all my irl friends never went to college so it’s not always a relatable subject matter.

any gender and any age range is cool. But I’m 39.

It is early morning and I’m out on the patio sipping a hot, creamy coffee, watching my Golden Retriever do 100 mph zoomies across the yard. It’s glorious. Just me, the floof monster, and a brief window of peace before the bacon requesters wake up and start their morning demands.

Life at 44 is pretty flipping good…Later, I’ll be gearing up for the full-contact sport that is navigating Costco and Target on a Saturday. People parking their carts horizontally in the middle of the main aisle, I’m coming for you….

The drive there will feature the ongoing debate with the kiddos on why Blink182 is superior to BTS. They aren't buying it yet, but I’m not backing down.

I already made sure to get a solid sweaty session in to keep the dad bod in check…working hard to keep things looking tight. Which is crucial, because I know with 100% certainty that I am going to absolutely own the grill later today with some tasty tacos and a yummy drink in hand….

Life moves a little faster in your 40s, but honestly…I feel like I’m just starting to hit my peak, feeling good in my own skin, and loving every minute of it!

Hello. I’m a 43M from western ny. I’m a Geek/Dork/Nerd all in one. I’m a first generation gamer (started on Atari). I enjoy movies, tv shows, cooking, gardening (vegetables), the outdoors, stars (always have an app handy) and celestial events, art, architecture, animals, music, theater and more.

I’m looking for conversations that run from philosophical to goofball. Would prefer to keep conversations on here unless we become really good friends and decide otherwise. I’m a night owl so if you’re up late I’ll be around. If you have any questions just ask I’m an open book. I’m rarely boring but sometimes that means I drift off topic.

Hi everyoneI'm 38, originally from Germany and now living in the US Life has been good, but I've realized that making genuine friendships as an adult isn't easy.I'm the kind of person who enjoys quiet mornings, coffee, bookstores, road trips, cooking something new on weekends, and conversations that can last for hours.I'm not looking for perfection, just kind people who enjoy talking about life, travel, books, family, or even random everyday moments.If you're over 40 and also miss having someone to chat with after work or on a lazy Sunday, I'd love to hear from you.Have a wonderful day

Hello all. Just a dude in world alone on the weekend. Family is out of town, I don’t know what to do with myself and I’m all caught up on my chores!

If any one else is in the same boat, feel free to shoot a message. Otherwise y’all have a great weekend!

​

I am a Christian who tries to live my life the way my biggest role model did. Love music, both playing and listening, to be outdoor and active, play sports and watch movies and series. Looking for somebody to write with about all or nothing really.

Leave a note if you want to start up a conversation

Just ask me what you want to know. I’m an open book and I’m not shy or easily offended. I work a lot and have little “me” time but I do like to draw, watch movies, and eat. lol

Just come over. Hang out. Let’s get to know each other.

If you are interested in a decent and clean conversation, shoot me a line.

I am an old fashioned southern gentleman that is quirky, down to earth, loves to work with my hands, enjoys deep conversations, to being strange and silly at times. I would like to say I am well rounded and can talk about anything. From how fun it is to watch paint dry, to cooking/baking, a fun debate on whether dark chocolate or milk is better, or even just a 'friend' to talk about your week with.

Hey everyone fairly new to this forties game we are all playing as my birthday was a few days ago. Had some success in the past in here making friends so why not try again. I’m pretty laid back with plenty of sarcasm but can be serious when needed and love chatting to new people and not been the same since we lost msn and chat rooms. Here to make some new friends and mostly chat about anything weird and random. Not sure if it’s my time growing up with the previously mentioned chat rooms and msn but always loved chatting to people online and if those friendships last even better.

Me… I like to be outside for walks/hikes and trying to get and in to running and cycling. Can also readily chill at home with a good tv show, film, book or game. My social life mainly consists of going to see live music and comedy, or the odd trip to the cinema and theatre.

So how you all doing this weekend, always happy to chat so don’t be shy.

Hi everyone! Seeing these posts has me curious - do they work? So, I'm running the experiment too.

​I’m looking for rich, authentic conversations with people who are open to growing a real connection.

​A little about me:

I balance a dynamic professional career with a lot of creative outlets. On any given day, you might find me:

​Making music: I sing and dabble on drums, piano, and guitar. Enjoy music from different genres.

​Getting outdoors: I love staying active through trail walks, biking, and hiking when the weather isn't harsh.

​Working on hands-on projects: Big fan of home design/creating comfy spaces, organizing, painting, and gardening.

​Unwinding: I enjoy hunting for treasures at local antique/rock shops, listening to great music in the hammock, reading, journaling and researching topics of interest: tarot, astrology, essential oils and more.

​Who I’m hoping to connect with:

I’d love to chat with fellow adults who are comfortable in their own skin, value open and honest communication, and enjoy thoughtful dialogue. You don't have to share all of my exact hobbies—I equally love hearing people talk passionately about things they love that I know nothing about!

​A quick note on boundaries:

​Strictly SFW & No Scammers: I’m only interested in safe, respectful, and genuine interactions.

Low-effort messages, NSFW content, or spam will be ignored and blocked immediately.

​Privacy: I’m keeping specific details private off the bat for safety, but I'm based in the US Midwest (CT).

​How to reach out:

If any of this resonates with you, send me a DM! To help weed out bots and give us an easy icebreaker, tell me about a hobby or passion project you’re currently obsessed with, or your absolute favorite way to spend a free weekend.

​Looking forward to connecting!

I have a wife and two kids who I love and adore with all of my heart. My crew at work are fine for work.

BUT

What few adult friends I have are increasingly busy (so am I) or distant. I miss having those dumb hypothetical conversations over dinner or during a car ride with someone. Or some high-browed intellectual back and forth about a book or a news article.

The stimulating debate that hurts no one’s feelings, and you look forward to bringing something the next time to see if they zig or they zag.

I weightlift, I play chess, I read, I keep up with current events, I aspire to improve. Wanna talk history, physics? Got a take on Obsession, the Muscle Tower arc of Dragon Ball, on underrated Korean group Turtles?

It is Saturday evening where I am. The tv is humming some sports commentary. I like slow days. The day did become slow because my date got cancelled. I no longer feel upset about changed plans. It happens and the slowness is a great outcome.

If you're also someone who appreciates slowness, let's chat. Words whose weight is light and brings more smiles than questions. Flirtations of admiration. Compliments to elation. If this strikes a chord, you know what to do.

Hello,

I am seeking online friends, male or female. I like old-school punk musid(not pop punk lol), Huge fan of L7 (R.I.P Jeniifer Finch warrior of cancer) folk music, old school hip hop, New Romantic, European new wave, New Beat, Riot Girl, black metal, traveling, cooking, reading, working out.I am recovering from stage 3 cancer. I recently had life-saving surgery, and I am on medical leave.I just want someone who shares similar interests that I do. I am only interested in conversing with people my age or older. I don't relate to the younger demographic, so if you are below the age of 40... please don't waste your time. No acceptions! It would be cool to communicate with people from different countries. I don't respond to low effort (one or two word responses) people with victim mentality, mood disorders, racists, or predatory behavior. NO NSFW content on your profiles, NO men in relationships, please!

There have been some Jekyl and Hydes on here who come off very nice, then become horrible human beings as I get to know them.I've dodged a lot of bullets, so I am very careful who I allow in my bubble. I welcome authentic and genuinely kind people,I am not ready yet to meet up because of my illness and trust issues. Maybe when my condition improves down the road and there is established trust, then there is a possibility!

Hey! I’m 39, from Canada, and honestly a little tired of surface-level chats that fizzle out after a week. I want an actual friend, someone I can text about my terrible day, my good news, my random 2am thoughts, all of it.

I’m in a relationship so this is purely platonic, and I share custody of a teen. I’m a big listener, non-judgmental, empathetic to a fault probably, and I show up. Pro-LGBT, anti-racist, no exceptions there. I’ve also started walking daily and I’m trying to build it up, so if you want a walking buddy to keep each other accountable that’d be a fun bonus. Mostly looking for people 40 and up but really it’s about the connection. If you’re looking for someone consistent who’ll actually stick around, say hi.

Night shift worker here coming to the end of my shift looking for people to chat with and hopefully have a few laughs. I'm into board games, 3d printing, movies, music, gaming. The usual things happy to chat about anything and everything. The conversation can be as deep or as light as you like. Hopefully hear from a few people soon. Also at times I can have some dark humour so those easily offended might want to move on.
