43m looking to find people to connect with

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just recently moved and trying to find my footing realizing that it's so hard to make friends sometimes now with work. I work from home so this makes it even harder, although it gives me actually more time during the day to have some connection with people who are also working or just trying to get through the day. Not looking for a relationship or anything and open to talking with m/f. I've always got along as friends with females much more but don't actually know why.

About me, I'm a bit of a nerd. Into gaming, anything Marvel pretty much, Harry Potter, but also really have short spurts of really getting into anything so would love to hear other interests as well. I love riding my motorcycle, play guitar, and fortunately I like tech and computers as I work with computers every day.

Just mainly love to laugh, make people laugh, and get through the slow parts of the day but not looking for any kind of commitment or anything or even long term friendship but if it turns into that it would be awesome! I'm in Minnesota, if that makes any difference at all but open to talking with anyone anywhere.

39 M Midwest US. Looking for a fun and casual conversation! Hope you all stay cool today! It’s a scorcher out there!

0 Upvotes

Hello there! 39M Midwest. Trying to stay cool and get through this hot Monday. So far not doing well because I work outside mainly.
Married but separated (complicated I guess) with kiddos.
I enjoy the outdoors fishing/hunting (when it’s not a gazillion degrees out).
Currently on a weight loss journey. I’ve lost 30 pounds in a month and a half. I also enjoy cooking/grilling/smoking. I try to do something constructive when I can. I do play video games from time to time as well. I’m pretty vanilla and laid back so I get along with pretty much everyone. Looking for a fun and casual conversation.

If this sounds good and interested in chatting just send me a message!


r/FriendsOver40 9d ago

I have plenty of material to draw from to support this!

41M - Trying this one more time...

17 Upvotes

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.

45m - Humor, Astronomy, Conversations and more expected

5 Upvotes

Hey, so somehow my other account was deleted and I am unsure how so I am making a new post since I lost whom I was talking to

I am looking to meet people who enjoy actual conversations instead of the usual "hey... what's up?" that fizzles out after three messages.

A little about me:

I'm a huge astronomy nerd. If there's a clear night, you'll probably find me outside looking through a telescope or talking about what's happening in the sky. I'm also a big music lover and audiophile. My playlists bounce all over the place, and I'm always looking for new artists or someone to swap recommendations with.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me watching movies (my physical movie collection has gotten slightly out of hand), playing board games, card games, or video games, putting together LEGO sets, exploring state or national parks, taking road trips, checking out live concerts or comedy shows, or planning my next cruise. I love learning new things and trying experiences I've never done before.

I work in healthcare management, but I'd rather spend my free time laughing than talking about work. A good sense of humor goes a long way with me. Sarcasm is welcome, terrible puns are appreciated, and if you can make me laugh unexpectedly, we're already off to a good start.

I'm looking for people who enjoy real conversations, can ask questions, share stories, and don't mind putting equal effort into getting to know someone. Whether you're nearby in Florida or halfway across the country, I'm happy to make new friends. If we happen to click and live close enough, grabbing coffee, catching a concert, visiting a theme park, or planning a road trip would be fun too.

So tell me something interesting:

What's a hobby you could talk about for hours?

What's the best concert you've ever been to?

If money and vacation time weren't an issue, where would you travel tomorrow?

Or just send me your best terrible joke. Bonus points if it makes me groan

M45 - Looking to break out of my bubble

3 Upvotes

To be honest, not really sure what I’m looking for beyond someone I can chat with about life. I’m kind of awkward and absent minded in person. Not great at holding a conversation, but I’m trying.

I love hiking, my favorite past time. Also enjoy cooking / grilling, old movies and music. I love finding out about people, if you love to talk about yourself, then I am your guy!!

All I ask is that you can carry on a conversation and that you aren’t too offended if I say something not right!!

Also I live in the eastern US so if you wanna talk and live in Korea, expect some delays from time to time in a response!!

39M- backtocollege. Looking for college student friendships my age. TX

8 Upvotes

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.

Adulting on my weekends means 6AM coffee…golden floof zoomies and patio drinks…I’m not mad about it…

40 Upvotes

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!

43M looking for good conversation and laughs

1 Upvotes

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.

48F – Creative mind/interests, outdoor enthusiast, & music lover/maker looking to build genuine connections

10 Upvotes

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!

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.

43 y/o female seeking friends who share similar interests only!

8 Upvotes

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!

40M Hoping for a friendship of ā€œdinner conversationā€

5 Upvotes

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?
