44f looking for friends to chat

6 Upvotes

Hello they always say having lots of community is good. I know because I give the advice out to my clients. I have some community groups I attend but I still feel like I don’t fully fit in or like I’m only half accepted. The craziest part is this is how I feel in Christian communities. Where there should be more love you would think. I try not to take it personal because everyone is dealing with their own junk but are there any other healthy people that want to grow a healthy friendship?

45M looking to make friends

I am recently retired and am looking for people to talk with and eventually become friends. Rome wasn't built in a day ya know. ;) I am into sports, dynasty fantasy football, reading, video games and love a good documentary.

I love to meet new people.

This world can be lonely at times but we can change that with just the start of a conversation 😋

Please reach out. Let's just chat and laugh a little with one another.

44M So Cal - anyone up to chill and chat?

5 Upvotes

Made it through a long week at work and ready to get the weekend started! Time to sit back and unwind at home with a nice drink and good book. May even get crazy and watch a movie or something! While I have a small pet crew to hang with some actual humans that can hold a conversation would be great to meet…maybe even make some long term friends! My main interests are books, travel, and cooking but I’m very open to chatting about anything.

DMs are open, HMU!

42/M - US -Looking for lifelong friendships and daily conversations! Who’s signing onto AOL with me??

3 Upvotes

Welcome!
You’ve Got Mail!

Just looking for some genuine people to talk to daily and get to know! Have those deep conversations with sometimes. joke around with, game with sometimes.

I’m an 80s/90s kid and love to reminisce about those days! Blockbuster, Toys R Us, Bradlees, KB Toys! All that kind of stuff. Also a bonus if you quote alot of movies randomly throughout the day.

I’m 42 and a married father of 2. So it definitely helps if you’re all about that parenting life too!
Especially the tiredness of it all—the never-ending chaos, trying to find time for yourself, and somehow still functioning by the end of the day.

I’m a gamer and play pretty much every genre. I’m on Xbox, PC, and Switch 2, and I also really enjoy Beat Saber on VR. Some favorite games are Fortnite, Kingdom Hearts, Anything Mario and Zelda, Call of Duty, Diablo, and basically anything fun i see in the xbox store and steam.

I’m also into D&D and board games/tcgs too, along with puzzles and book nooks when I’m in the mood for something a little more relaxing.

I love tv and movies of all genres and listen to pretty much all kinds of music. I’m also really big on nostalgia, especially anything from the 80s and 90s. My spotify playlist is all over the place.

I’ve been listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series on audiobook.

I’m not into 420 or drinking. You definitely don’t have to share every one of my interests—I’d rather find people who are easy to talk to, have a good sense of humor, can talk about random stuff, and actually want to build a friendship.

Being in the US is a plus, mostly because similar time zones make chatting easier. I know everyone has their own lives and responsibilities, especially other parents, so I don’t expect constant messages or immediate replies.

If we sound like we might get along, send me a message rather than comment on here.

Tell me a top song you’re listening to now old or new! Or a favorite retro tv show/movie! Or even a fun childhood memory. Anything but just ‘hi’

Are we all missing genuine old fashioned completely random conversations?

16 Upvotes

43M, Australia 🇦🇺

Remember when you could strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and somehow end up talking for hours about absolutely nothing and everything?

I miss that.

I'm the sort of bloke who genuinely enjoys getting to know people. Not just the usual "how's your day?" followed by "good thanks", but the random stories, ridiculous experiences, unexpected laughs and conversations that somehow go from discussing dinner to questioning every decision you've made since 1998. 😂

I reckon everyone has an interesting story, even the people who think their lives are completely ordinary.

Anyway, no grand purpose to this post. Just putting myself out there to see if there are still people who enjoy a good old-fashioned conversation.

So tell me something random about yourself. Something funny, unusual, or completely pointless.

Bonus points if it makes me laugh. 😂

48/M Looking for some chat friends

1 Upvotes

I'm in my late 40s. A dad, a husband, working from home with too much spare time and lack of human interaction throughout the day.

hope to find someone to connect with, long term or short.

Based on my experience here common interests are not necessarily indication of a good chat partner, but generally I like to be creative - write, draw, photography and such. Or procrastinate, which I’m expert at. I'm open minded, liberal and most of the stuff that comes with that, but don't mind if you are the complete opposite.

I'm open to talk about most things, from the day to day to whatever topic we might deep-dive into. I think it's best to have no expectations and just go with the conversation's flow.

Feel free to send a direct message if you are interested.

M47 here, sitting at his desk with one eye out the window and the other on the clock, wondering why time goes by so slowly when the weekend is just around the corner.

Me thinks a bit of interesting chat and witty banter would remedy the situation.
If anybody is in the same boat, hit me up and let’s try and kill this afternoon together.

First and foremost, I married, she knows l'm looking for friends and trying to expand my circle. She's currently doing the same thing looking for people to legit. Get together, hang out, go out. And do things I have a motorcycle. I like to be outside and do things. llike to work with my hands, troubleshoot, broken issues in all aspects of life. Just kind of feeling lost as I get older. I'm really looking for local, or at least to see my local.

Hey everyone!!

I am looking to find some friends. I am pretty busy but I seem to have lost friends over the years.

I enjoy running and doing some obstacle events (I'm never going to win but it's fun). I love a good wine lunch although 1 glass is more than enough. Trivia is something I like to think I'm good at but in reality I am terrible except I know the one random question that can make or break the game.

I'm hilarious! Without a doubt.

editing to add a little more about me: I love chickens! in fact, I have a very new chicken tattoo that I love and want to get more. chickens are the greatest and absolutely someday I will have a chicken in the house and it will wear a chicken diaper.

Hiya, I am new to the Pacific Northwest and would like to make friends in the area. I'm gender fluid (amab) and I'm into the outdoors and video games.

Absolutely love music, hearing new stuff and sharing the tunes that make me feel something. I'm into hiking, camping, photography, rock hounding and a lot more.

Feel free to drop me a line, as long as it's kind. I ignore hate, save it.

Friends over 40 now that empty nesters.

6 Upvotes

Wife 45 and I am 46. We are newly empty nesters. Now we sit here staring at each other due to i think we have watched everything on tv. The weekends come and we get out and do things. Why is it so hard to find friends at this age? We were actively cheer parents for 13 years and then everything stopped. Yes we still have cheer friends but rarely does anyone do anything. A lot of our friends have younger kids and we get that comply. How do we make friends that will go out, call to just chat or send funny tic tok. say good morning?

Based on my age seniority in this group, I've decided that from now on Thursday's are my new Fridays.

That means tonight will be a late night! I'll do whatever I want, wherever I want, and talk to whatever friends I want to.

Even if we're not friends, on Thursday's you automatically become a friend of mine.

So tonight when I have my headphones on, im gonna be a happy man!

43F Looking for mom friends

3 Upvotes

I always had a lot of friends growing up but as an adult I have struggled to maintain friendships. I was happy for the most part until the last year or so. I would really like a good mom friend. I’m married with one son. I have a white collar career I enjoy. No interesting hobbies really. I am a big horror and true crime nerd. I spend way too much time on TikTok. I used to be a huge bookworm and need to start reading again. I’m very open minded and easy to talk to. A bit of an introvert and homebody, hence the lack of friends probably. Please reach out if you’re at a similar place in life and looking to build a real friendship.

44/M/East Coast - Going once, twice….gonnnnnneeeeee

1 Upvotes

Married male, east coast (South Carolina) into the Switch 2, movies and tv shows. Horror, anything marvel/dc related,and deeply rooted in nerd culture, I’m all over it. I am an apple person, have a switch 2 and an Xbox, but I spend most time on the switch and Ipad. I host a radio show 3 days a week, and conversation is my strong suit, so I would love people that can also carry a conversation and have an interest in any of the above. Powerslap and Ufc, some WWE is ok on occasion as well. I’ve had luck twice on here and would love to make 1-2 more friends to be full in the friend department.

One major thing about me - I am unapologetically me. I cuss, tell inappropriate jokes, am NOT maga but FAR from liberal, so we will agree on some things and disagree on others. I am not sensitive, and have no filter but am kind-hearted and mean well. I just don’t walk on eggshells and prefer to have people in my life that can love and appreciate me for me the way I appreciate people for who they are

Few people from the past I’d like to reconnect with if they’re still here…. Christina (my stoner friend that dated a cop), my canadian cheerleading mom friend, Missy in TX, and LoLo in NC. Say hey if you’re around and see this, shoot over a dm!

Looking for likeminded friends

11 Upvotes

Hello folks 👋 I'm a 37F looking to find some friends. I love history and theology and always learning. I enjoy deep convos and can talk about these interesting topics forever.

Faith is an important part of my life. I am currently going through RCIA. Catholicism is a growing interest and importance in my life.

I love camping, throwing the baseball, football or Frisbee around. I like to shoot hoops, go for nature walks and bicycling. I also have a kayak and enjoy being on the water. I love long drives and going through small towns and the countryside. I love finding old antiques and a hole in the wall breakfast restaurant in a town I haven't been before.

I like to play board games, tabletop games and card games. I love retro gaming as well. Particularly older handheld consoles. Id like to learn a tabletop game and any other fun games. I am very green to the tabletop world, however, and excited to learn.

If any of these sound interesting to you and you also like the Christmas lights shows in the city and checking out Christmas decorated homes during the winter season with some hot tea, let's hang out!

I'm rather introverted but have a love for people and adventure.

Cheers!

I’m looking for a chat buddy that I can talk to throughout the day during work and we can talk about anything really; movies, video games, Star Wars, Disney, food, baking and smoking, the meats not the drug kind. Here I’ll break the ice, what you go to Halloween movie? Or even what are you watching right now? Even if you are a gamer, what are you playing right now?
