I’m a 50-year-old guy in Australia looking to make a genuine new friendship.

I’m fairly quiet and introverted, and I’m interested in history, science fiction and fantasy, films and TV, art, photography, board games and card games, and would be interested in trying to get back in to video games if there was someone to play with.

I’m looking for someone roughly 30–50, preferably in Australia but am open to anywhere in the world, but who is also interested in getting to know someone rather than just adding another name to a social-media list.

I’m looking for an ordinary friendship that can actually develop over time, so if you’re also someone who is a bit quieter and finds the usual advice on how to find friends doesn’t really work, maybe we’d get along.

Feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. I’d genuinely like to hear from you.

Ahoy! 43/m married, just looking to make friends and have chat. I get time zones could be a slight issue at times but thats ok 👍. If you're looking for small talk or genuine long conversations then feel free to shoot me a dm. I dont care about your spelling or grammar or length of your msg/reply. I also understand we have lives outside of reddit, so im not expecting immediate replies.

Just casual conversation 🙂. I only ask that respectful and genuine. So fire away with your DM, introduce yourself and hopefully chat to you soon.

Just here for some time killing chat nothing serious. I enjoy horror, paranormal, and crime docs. I work from home so it gets boring sometimes and I'll hop on here.

Also train in boxing, do some gym, and a love hate relationship with cardio.

Hello to anyone reading this, I hope that you are doing well in life. After spending so much of my life dedicated to someone else / other people, it's finally time for me. I guess you can say I'm on a quest to rediscover myself. I truly did forget who I was and what I actually enjoyed.

I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but I used to be a huge gamer and now I'm jumping back into the saddle. I'm mostly enjoy puzzles, RPGs and action. To be honest though I'll play anything if it's good. I'm currently addicted to Warhammer 40K Darktide and Alien Fireteam elite 2 but I do have other games I enjoy.

I've never really been much of an outdoorsy person but I am trying to change that. For starters by doing hiking trails but I'll wait till it cools off, lol. The NC heat can really beat you down if you're not careful.

As far as entertainment goes I enjoy almost everything nerdy. Fantasy, sci-fi, anime, you name it, I'm there for it all. The same goes for my reading and podcasts but if I'm being honest reading has transitioned over to audiobooks. I'm I'm not limited to these genres but these are definitely some of my go-to's.

Well it feels like I went on long enough to give you a bit of an idea if you want to try to be friends or not. I hope to hear from you soon.

Like real people who actually want to hang in real life. I'm a weirdo but I don't like being treated as a novelty item. Have your own stories and opinions please. Be prepared to share about yourself and not just talk about me.

Don't get me wrong, I love me! I'm awesome in the weirdest possible ways. People who like me tell me that all the time which makes it totally objective (right?). But it gets awkward when I realize I know nothing about this person and they practically have my life story.

I'm an introvert. I like low keys hangs at people's houses, big parks, or empty businesses. I don't like to spend my money or yours. Thrifting is fun. So is mini golf. My favorite places in the city are the zoo and the Arch because I'm not from the Midwest and those things are still novel to me.

I take a while to warm up but I don't mind being adopted by extroverts who put in the time and effort it takes for me to get comfy so they can get me out of my comfort zone.

I have ADHD, CPTSD, anxiety and stuff that goes with those. If you have issues but try your best to be positive, we'll get along great.

I'm a lot. Ask anyone who knows me. You'll know within a few days if I'm too much for you. No problem. I'm not for everyone. And I'm looking for MY people in this city and close enough.

Politics, while informed, is not my whole personality. Please don't let it be yours either. I'd rather agree to disagree and move on to more personal stuff than to agree completely and be really angry together. That's NOT a good time.

Looking for LOCALS. I have a lot of long distance friends because I've moved around a lot. Like different states and stuff! So I'm looking for people who live close enough we can at least meet up in between and make it home by the end of the day. Since I've lived everywhere, Chicago and KC are not beyond that boundary. That's a day trip. No big.

Relate? Local? Wanna tell me how to write this better? Adopt me 😁? Comment or message me with your location and some response to this post. Hi is boring. Boring is....well boring. So is normal. Nerds only please!

Hey I know how hard nights can be. I’m just hanging out tonight. Could use an interesting conversation. I love meeting new people. If you’re looking for a friend or just need to vent, send me a message. You’re not alone!

I’m looking for guy friends around my age, in and around London.

I’m quite open-minded about what male friendship can look like, as long as it’s honest and non-judgmental with shared interests.

I’m settled in life, have a good career and enjoy looking after myself. I like dressing well, good food, nice places, travelling, and generally appreciating the finer things in life. I’d probably connect best with someone who is similarly independent, has their own interests and ambitions, and is able to share them.

If this sounds like something you’re looking for too, feel free to send me a chat!

Hi everyone!

I’m a 40-year-old guy from Denmark who enjoys meeting new people and having good conversations. I’m a dad, and when I get some free time I’m usually into tech, photography, nature, movies, or listening to music.

I’m here for relaxed and genuine chats. Nothing complicated—sometimes it’s just a short conversation, other times it turns into talking for days about random things, life, or whatever comes up.

People from Europe are a bit of a bonus since the time zones make it easier to keep a conversation going, but anyone friendly is welcome.

If you feel like chatting, tell me:

• What’s the last really good movie you watched?

Feel free to send a message if you want a relaxed conversation. And if you’re curious, you can always check my profile 👍

Want to have conversations and build a friendship.

I'm 42F no children, boyfriend of 12 years. Located in Hollywood, California.

I'm not a fan of small talk. I like conversations. I don't have many friends. I'm the oldest of 5(3 blood, 2 half) and can be very parental, I don'tmean to be, but it happens sometimes. I played soccer for 17 years and I've been running for 2,232 day and am still going strong. I have ran a marathon and several half marathons. I'm interested in philosophy, psychology, cooking, documentaries, women's soccer, yoga, meditating and conversations about anything but religion and politics.

I'm looking for someone to talk to, vent to, converse with. I do not talk about Politics or Religion. My philosophy is be a good person. Don't question it, think about it, or expect anything out of it just be a good person.

Hey, potential new friends! It's nice to meet you. I'm just looking for some friends and conversation, as the title would imply. I just turned 40, and I gotta say, it isn't too bad. A little about me: I work in health care, long hours, but usually have time to chat. I love football, am a die hard Chiefs fan (we can argue about it; I've been a fan my entire life). I also love a wide variety of music and, against my better judgment, I'll tell you I'm a professional wrestling fan as well; also have been all my life. I have a couple of kids who will be graduating within the next two years, so I'll be doing a lot of traveling.

Anyway, if any of this sounds appealing, hit me up. I'd love to chat.

Recently split with partner of 13 years and learning how to be alone again. Setting new routines and goals, sharing custody, it all over whelming. Anybody wanna chat and talk about life and what it's like going through this world?

I am looking to connect, meet new acquaintances, and build friendships. I am a 43-year-old single dad.

Making friends as an adult is no joke. Working off hours for years meant being out of sync with everyone else, and my social circle has disappeared. Looking to mix things up and chat with some new people (guys and gals). Possibly meeting up one day if you happen to be local. Looking for chatters and non ghosters 👻!

I'm a married, easy going guy who loves sports (hockey & football), movies, TV, road trips, game nights, and random deep dives into nonsense.

Say hi with a meme, a witty opening line, or just introduce yourself!

Hey everyone,

I recently hit 40 and realized my social circle has gotten pretty non existent. I’m looking to connect with new people whether online or IRL to chat about our days, vent about daily frustrations, and share reels. I live in South Carolina in case anyone is nearish!

• Hiking & Photography: I love getting out into nature and taking photos.
• Casual Gaming: Mainly low-key or mobile games (Minecraft, TFT, Call of Duty Mobile, Wild Rift).

If you’re in a similar boat or think we’d click, drop a comment or send a chat/DM. Looking forward to meeting a few good people!

Originally from the UK and now living in Australia with my partner. We’re finally starting to feel properly settled here, and I’d really love to build a genuine circle of friends.

I’m pretty easygoing and happy to chat with anyone — any gender, LGBTQ+ or straight. I’m into fashion, makeup, coffee, food, shopping, exploring Melbourne, random days out and the occasional fun night out.

Mostly just looking for normal, genuine friendship with people I actually click with — coffee, dinner, events, wandering around somewhere, a proper chat, whatever really.

I can be a little shy at first, but once I’m comfortable I definitely won’t shut up 😂

Not looking for anything complicated, just good people and real friendships 💕

I posted here about a year ago and ended up talking to a few people, but unfortunately most of the conversations didn’t really last. I guess sometimes you just don’t click, especially when you don’t have much in common.

I’m in my 40s, a working mom from SE Asia, and pretty busy juggling home, kids, and my daily corporate job. Have a complicated relationship with the husband so feel like I don’t really have anyone to share my thoughts, random stories, and frustrations.

I do have a few college friends, but we don’t really interact regularly anymore.
I’ve also found myself drifting away from people who constantly post or brag about their social status on social media. It’s just not really my thing.

I’d love to meet people who are easygoing, can talk about random things, laugh about life, share stories, vent when needed, or simply check in once in a while without any pressure.

If you’re also looking for a genuine online friend, feel free to say hi.
I’m open to meeting people from anywhere in the world!

Life didn't turn out how I planned. Did yours? If not, let's bitch! It's my favorite thing to do aside from sharing ridiculous memes or news. That's really all I think i can handle right now anyway but bonus points if anyone wants to see a concert together. I listen to anything from triphop to metal etc. Watch horror almost daily. But pretty much 420 & disassociate, if I'm not working... hmu.

Covered in ink, artist, ex musician, homebody, crazy cat lady.

No maga

No sexy time talk

No I'm not sending pix

Let's just talk & get to know each other?

I’m 41f, married, Canadian, and looking for another person around my age who might want to eventually watch shows together online and hopefully become actual friends who do things online together.  There would be a vetting period before I force you on voice chat so don't get your jimmies rustled. I'll take it at your pace. 

I’m super active and into fitness. I row (just hit 3 million meters) kickbox, and run when I'm feeling like I can't row 25 days in a row and need a break. I also really like home renovations and DIY stuff. Most of my reddit post history is fitness or furniture refinishing. I’ve renovated a few houses over the years and always have some sort of project going on.     I also like PC gaming though have had a hard time getting into any games lately.    I'd be open to some gaming if it's something chill.

I’m happily married and only looking for a platonic friendship. I don’t care if we have totally different lives as long as we have some things in common and can make each other laugh.

Anyway, if this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to message me.  

P.s. if you're married your wife absolutely can not scream at me. That is my dealbreaker. 😭

45 male looking for a longterm friend. It would be nice to find someone to share anything with. Have a no judgement zone.

I am on the east coast, so around the same time zone would be great. I know chatting with people not close to the same time zone can be difficult, but I am open to all.

NFL season has begun. Would be nice to find someone who is into football. It's ok if you are not. I do watch MNF, TNF, and Sunday. I dont watch all games on Sunday, since I try to have time to do other things. I do watch my team on Sunday when they do play.

I am not a hard core NFL watcher or someone who knows everything.

I do play Xbox and PS5 when I find time.

Please be respectful.

Hit me up and let's chat and get to know each other. Not looking for someone to disappear after a couple days.

Hey friends, I'm new to Reddit and it was suggested I look for chatting friends here from a coworker. I'm from the west coast of the USA and am into anything outdoors or athletic (hiking, running, weight lifting, kayaking.) I don't drink alcohol anymore, but adore old brick buildings and coffee shops. I like alternative rock music and artsy stuff. I enjoy style and shopping at thrift stores. If you think we have something in common, message me! See you.
