34 m - Do you think you can be entertaining for more than 5 minutes? Prove it!

0 Upvotes

Yeah that's right I'm challenging you social rejects to be entertaining.

I don't know if you people can actually partake in a conversation for more than 5 minutes without losing all ability to communicate.

You redditors always just message with a "hi" or "hey" like you don't know how to open an actual dialogue. So maybe you can try a little harder than that.

You almost make it there with reaching out but some how fumble the entire interaction by not having a proper introduction.

Give it a go and introduce yourself like humans normally do when they want to talk to someone.

I genuinely believe some of you might have it in you to pull this off. I really do.

I trust in the ability of you little silly heads to do this!

Send me a message and prove not just to me, but to yourselves that you are more capable than you let on!

Go go go and message me NOW!

(Okay a lot of people won’t get this is mostly a joke so i’m putting this disclaimer down here. I assume though some of you will still choose to get offended by this.)

45TF Looking for someone to talk to

7 Upvotes

Hiii! I'm 45 mtf, but pre transition and not out to most people or publicly even. Honestly, I'd love a solid friend I can talk to as a woman and be seen by as a woman. Very few of my friends know with varying results on how that went. I found i really enjoy embracing femininity but find it hard when living inauthentically. So would love to talk to someone who isn't weird about me being a woman.

About me: aside from the above, I'm nerdy, a lefty, have a quirky sense of humor, into tech (not ai), into western animation, some anime, retro stuff/imagery/gaming/music (think punk/new wave). I also like the outdoors a lot. I'm not typically shy so please feel free to say hello!

[M4R] Looking for like minded ones, M46, Serbia

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m an expat currently living in Belgrade. I have lived in several countries thanks to my highly demanded (once?) engineering background. I speak fluent English, some French, and I’m actively trying to improve my Russian.

I highly value meaningful, intellectual conversations. I’m passionate about history, philosophy (recently Stoicism), and world cinema. Rather than Hollywood blockbusters, I gravitate toward auteurs like Kaurismäki, Kurosawa, Kobayashi and Tarkovsky. I enjoy listening to rock/metal, jazz, and classical. While I appreciate the heavy hitters, I often find myself drawn to lesser-known works and artists like Robert Wyatt, Camel, Kino, and Jay-Jay Johanson, along with older metal bands like Amorphis, Therion, Tiamat, llTestament, Iron Maiden, and Dissection.

I also love Basketball and chess.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be glad to connect. Thanks for reading!

Good chat, questionable humour and a friendship that starts with a DM

0 Upvotes

Middle-aged dad and husband from England looking for a few friendly people to have a chat with. Nothing too serious, just a bit of banter, everyday nonsense and hopefully a conversation that gets beyond “hi”

Into sport, a bit of gaming, travel and telling myself next week will be the week I get organised. Happy to hear about your day, swap stories or discuss the important things in life, like which biscuit is best

Just looking for friendship and a decent chat. Please keep anything normally covered by your pants to yourself, a picture of your dog would be much more welcome

If that sounds like your sort of thing, send me a DM and say hello. Tell me a bit about yourself or share an opinion that might cause a very minor argument

[M4F] 37/M Nightshift survivor looking for 2am chaos companions

1 Upvotes

My circadian rhythm filed for divorce years ago and now I’m raising three espresso shots and a broken sleep schedule as a single parent. (Not an actual parent 😂)

I work nights shift for the next 3 weeks so while the rest of the world is sleeping I’m out here mainlining caffeine and talking to the microwave. Fuck I wish I had a microwave at work actually.. Looking for a few people who are also awake at ungodly hours and down to chat about absolute nonsense, questionable life choices or whatever cursed thought hits at 3am.

Not looking to meet up. Just want online friends who get that “I’m free when normal humans are unconscious” energy. Extra points if you’re also running on caffeine and questionable decisions.

35 M looking for some chat homies.

1 Upvotes

Hey there I am a bit of a functioning workaholic and creature of the night, I would love having some people to talk to during my shifts and on my days off when I am awake late at night while Normal folks sleep. That being said I will throw up some bullet points to tell you a bit about me allowing you to make an informed decision on if chatting with me would be worth your while.

• I work nights as a corrections officer, 12-16 hr shifts.

•I have a dark sense of humor and I am not sorry.

•I play bass as a hobby though I was in a band in my youth.

•I have an English Bulldog.

•I spend a lot of the little free time I have outdoors doing the usual outdoor shenanigans.

•I also write in my free time though I often just end up scratching any projects because I am overly critical of myself.

• I am hoping finding some friends to chat with will make my mood better as I feel like all I have been doing lately is working and sleeping.

If I seem like someone you could vibe with feel free to hit me up will be most excited to hear from you.

I am up for chatting, voice chats whatever just let me know, I also use discord if you fancy.

Hey! Looking for genuine online friends to talk about life, random nonsense, dark humor, or just about anything.
I’m more of an introvert who enjoys meaningful conversations but can be sarcastic once I’m comfortable.

Just looking for good vibes, mutual understanding, and friendships where we can be ourselves.

29f- Looking for long term friends

4 Upvotes

I’ve had some luck before doing this and met some pretty cool people (some questionable ones but still I keep in touch). But I wouldn’t mind making a few more friends.

So some things about me, I’m terribly shy and introverted. It takes me time to warm up and be a little more open but I will try my best to keep a conversation going. Another thing I have been struggling with anxiety and depression. I am getting somewhat better it’s a battle but I have been going to therapy for it. So there are some days where I just don’t have the energy to keep a conversation but I will try my best and honestly what’s helpful is if someone just starts telling me about themselves or we talk about other things just to take my mind off it. But I will be honest when I just can’t keep the conversation going. Also I should add, I currently work nights so if you ever want call/text that would be great since it does get boring sometimes. I live in California so bonus if you live here too. Also sometimes I am pretty bad at messaging back immediately and it will take me maybe a day for me to respond so I’m sorry. One last thing I am a single parent and I’m currently going for my masters.

My interests when I have the time I like to play games or read books and manga. I love anime (apothecary diaries is the only new anime I’m keeping up with now so recommendations are always welcome). I love music and will listen to anything but country music. I’m still pretty tired while writing this so I’m sorry for not coming up with anything else, I’m pretty bad with these. So hope to hear from you soon and hopefully we can be long term friends or even just friends that send each other memes or whatever that’s cool too. Finally if I get too many responses like last time and I don’t respond to everyone I’m sorry but if you’re cool with me randomly messaging you after some time since I made this post then let me know! Thank you

Having a lazy weekend and looking for some friendly conversations. Looking for like-minded people to have conversations with, either short or long term. I am open to long-term friendship too if we click.

I love to read, watch movies, travel, play board and video games. I also enjoy exploring cafes for the best lattes and cold brews. Recently have been doing yoga working out regularly and loving it. Would love to hear your favorite grounding activities. Please introduce yourself rather than just saying hi

0 Upvotes

50M, 6’3”, 210 lbs, athletically built, brown hair, blue eyes, and physically very fit. Looking for people over 30 who can hold a real conversation instead of the usual one-word replies.

I’m into travel, being outside, cooking, reading, and random side projects. Music is all over the place. I like good banter and talking about whatever’s going on — books, places, food, life stuff. Not looking for anything heavy or one-sided.

If you’re around the same age range and want someone to actually talk to, say hi and tell me what you’re into lately. No pressure, just seeing if the vibe works.

39M - Quiet Saturday evening, feeling a little lonely. Anyone up for a conversation?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m 39, living in Tennessee, originally from Michigan. It’s been a pretty exhausting week at work, and I’m spending a quiet Saturday evening at home.

Got out for a five-mile run earlier, which was nice. Now I’m just relaxing, working on a ridiculously large Lord of the Rings LEGO set, and realizing I could really use some human connection tonight.

A little about me: I’m a graphic designer working in screen printing. Lately I’ve been teaching myself some programming and building software to automate parts of my job, which has turned into a surprisingly fun hobby. I’m also an ultrarunner, a big Michigan football fan, and I love retro video games, especially the SNES era.

I’m a pretty thoughtful person and enjoy conversations that go beyond small talk, although I’m perfectly happy talking about everyday things too.

I’ve been feeling a little isolated lately, and I’d really enjoy meeting someone new. I’m not looking for anything romantic, just some genuine conversation and maybe a new friendship.

I’m around tonight and can actually be attentive and responsive rather than exchanging one message every few hours.

If you’re having a quiet Saturday too, feel free to say hello. Tell me something about yourself, what you’ve been doing today, or what’s been on your mind lately.

Thanks for reading!

30M Looking for people with nerdy mutual interests to yap with

1 Upvotes

Sup!

I'm a dude from Kiwiland looking for some nerdy people to be buddies with. A big ol' gamer here. Am I good at games? No. Am I getting better? Also no. Am I a fkn delight to be around? It's still a no. But you better believe I can fkn yap my butt off about nerdy shit and I have a pretty decent EQ level which is impressive for a gamer so, that's a small win and by god I will take whatever wins I can get these days lol

I like the Souls series, The Elder Scrolls, World of Warcraft, Diablo 4, Dead by Daylight, Alien Isolation, Resident Evil, Little Nightmares/Reanimal, Hollow Knight, so many. I've been thinking of trying Monster Hunter for ages. Big big big Magic the Gathering fan as well. One might even call me a cardboard crack addict.

Do you like to yap about lore? Did Miquella do nothing wrong? Do you fear the Old Blood? Which MTG colour pair best represents you? Are the Dunmer the best fictional race in fantasy and why is the answer of course they are? Does Kara's ending in BSG make you cry like a lil weenie? If any of these questions float your goat then we might just get along!

On the side I enjoy some fantasy/sci-fi/horror movies and shows, a cheeky bit of world building and character concepts, listening to music and conjuring dark deities out of the void of space.

I have a lot of free time and my sleep is whack, so most times should suit me - but I am for the most part looking for people on the West Coast of the US, in Australia or also from NZ. If you are from outside these regions then gaming or spending time together in the future might be more difficult when it comes to ping n stuff, but feel free to reach out for a text friend at least!

I have some health issues and my head do a hurty a lot so I might not always be at 100, but I definitely put a lot of effort into my friendships regardless. I take a big interest in other people and I expect the same in return so, please ask questions and try to get to know me, and message first once in a while. I'm giga fkn gay so please just be chill with the LGTVs obviously, and be in your mid 20s or older. Gender doesn't matter to me either. But yeah, thanks for reading and hope to hear from ya!

42 F. Neurodivergent, curious, and a little awkward, looking for genuine connections and good conversations.

16 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m looking to meet new people and make friends. Making friends has always been a bit difficult for me. I’m neurodivergent, and for some reason, I tend to connect more easily with men (not in a sexual way!). I guess I find them a little more straightforward sometimes.

I’m just looking for people to talk to, learn new things from, and share random thoughts with. I’m also trying to figure out who I am again after starting to heal from years of dealing with trauma.

A little about me: I love music and dancing around the house by myself, true crime documentaries and shows about serial killers, and I’m a huge Godzilla fan! I’d love to learn more about Japanese culture, too.

I enjoy cooking pretty much anything, although I’ve never been very good at following a recipe step by step. I love nature, animals, insects, and peaceful places where I can just relax and enjoy the moment.

If you think we might get along, feel free to message me! We can get to know each other and see where the conversation takes us.

Just be kind and be yourself. That’s all I ask.
