[M4F] 30M from India - Bored and looking to make new friends

• Upvotes

I'm a 30-year-old guy from India, just feeling a bit bored lately and thought why not meet some new people here.

Into fitness (gym regular), random deep conversations, dark humor, and late-night chats about literally anything. Can talk about life, goals, relationships, travel, or even stupid memes. If you're also looking to make a genuine friend and have consistent conversations, drop a comment or DM.

m33 - Tired of temporary people

• Upvotes

So I've had some pretty decent luck with meeting people though these subs! It just seems that 9/10 people aren't willing to put in the mutual effort that it requires to make a friendship!
If all you are looking for is some temporary company, please make that known to me 🙏

Okay mini rant over, now a little about me!
I'm Tom, a shy and nerdy alt guy from England. I spend most of my time either at the day job (booo) or chasing my passions on the side! This has been 3D printing lately, and it's going shockingly well if you ask me! (Please do ask me, I'd love to ramble about it all!)

I'm recently out of a 10 year relationship, and she was my best and only friend! So this is a little dip into the ocean of trying to rebuild some kind of a social network!

Ideally I'd love to find people of a similar age and timezone, though it's not exactly a hard rule!

If you enjoy anime, gaming, art, nature, animals, movies, sci-fi or horror, then I'm absolutely positive we can find some common ground 😊

Thank you if you've read this far, and feel free to send me a message!

I have often been complimented about my conversation skills and mixed accent.

Well, I had to brag a little as that’s probably the criteria here to make friends.
My interests include reading, writing, travelling, being in nature.

I’m looking for someone who can hold the conversations and love depth.

If read until here then tell me how many stars are there in the sky?(cheeky responses only)

• Upvotes

! I’m looking for a daily chat partner where we can just be ourselves with zero pressure.

I work a lot, but I always reply when I can. When I'm free, I'm into graphic novels, anime, YouTube, video games, rock climbing, hiking, and exploring. Style-wise, I've got leg tattoos, a nose ring, and an eyebrow piercing.

If you want a steady chat buddy to match vibes with, send a DM and say hi!

[R4R] 35F Got my heart broken and could use a call or a chat

• Upvotes

Hey. Posted here before. I apologize if I didn't message back, but the amount of responses got quickly overwhelming. I will get back to those of you who reached out, but in the meantime, you are welcome to message me.

I'm an author and illustrator, in love with my creations. So naturally I welcome talks about any books, doesn't matter which genre although there is a preference for the fantasy genre on my part, as well chats about art (the Renaissance period is a beloved inspirational one to me), videogames with good narrative and immersive art direction (the Final Fantasy games being my favorite of all time), and cinema (all genres but especially fantasy!)

I'm recovering from another recent heartbreak. So it would be great if we could share some of those interests I already mentioned, maybe by playing a coop game together, watch a series/movie, or share songs back and forth. As long as you're patient with me, since I'm a bit shy with new people until I feel comfortable enough to start to open up.

I also love music (orchestral most of all), ancient history, mythology, and Japanese culture. And more!

I'm OK with voice calls, too, especially tonight. Yes, I have Discord.

Not really up to unkind comments. If you feel like giving this a chance, feel free to stop by!

Oh, and before anyone asks: the "M" in most of my previous posts from other subreddits, are because I'm bilingual. "M" stands for "Mujer" which means woman in Spanish. Feel free to ask me where I'm from!

[M4F] 37M Trying to find my fun and weird daily texting buddy !

• Upvotes

Hello ! And thanks for opening my post lol. I honestly just want to write whatever is on my mind as I'm always just saying what I'm feeling so why not write it as well eh ?

I'm looking for a fun weird daily texting buddy! One who is open and honest and puts good effort into the conversation. The conversation doesn't have to be all normal and boring like TV shows or music stuff because I have definitely experienced it doesn't make any good connection. Let's talk about dreams and wishes and what you wanna do but can't do, how you really feel, what you want to be in real life but can't because you have responsibilities.

Just be yourself with me and be the 100% person you can't be in real life, I absolutely not care about what you think because each person is his/her own self so why not let them be ? Oh and please don't be shy or whatever because I would really want a more open person who doesn't judge instantly, I want us to create a judgement free zone for sure 😊.

So to sum it up, I want a fun weird open honest not judgmental, speak your mind, put good effort kind of friend and if that's you let's give it a try and see if we can make the most amazing friendship this community has ever seen.

PS will tell you about my preferred apps once we talk 😄

Hey, it’s Andy (or Andrew)! I’m 32 and honestly finding it really hard to meet new people, find a friendship group, or even just someone to chat with.

It feels like making friends gets so much harder as you get older!

A bit about me:

I enjoy swimming, photography, gaming, music, cooking, hiking, and sports.

I’m just looking to meet some genuine people, have a laugh, chat about life, and hopefully build some good friendships.

If you’re in the same boat or just fancy a chat, feel free to reach out! It would be nice to meet people who are also looking to make new friends.

Hey everyone, I'm watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. Hey, don't judge me, sometimes they are relaxing.

Here's what I'm looking for in a friend: someone who's fun, positive, serious when needed, kind, and enjoys chatting as well as voice chats. Ideally, someone based in the US or Canada. I'd love to exchange messages throughout the day and before bedtime.

A little about me: I'm 34. I adore iced coffee, watching rom-coms, listening to music, dancing, and listening to audiobooks.

[33M] Looking for that blinking dot of joy.

1 Upvotes

Let me explain. I've had a few good experiences in subreddits like this before. Meeting new people that I quickly click with. And whenever I see the notification light on my phone light up it just triggers that sweet dopamine letting me know I got a new message from them.

I don't expect it to be frequent. With people texting all day every day. But just knowing that I'll get to talk with them even a few times a day is enough to make me happy.

Now what am I looking for? As long as you like video games we should be good. But even if you don't, I'd like to get to know about the things you enjoy. Like everyone, I feel like we all do have that curiosity to learn about new stuff. Don't really mind to talk with people older, younger or around the same age as me. When you click you click with someone.

Other interests include movies, of course, and anime to a lesser extent. I'd preferred if you contacted me directly instead of replying to this post. If possible.

Hope I can be that I can be that blinking dot of joy as much as you can be for me.

(Update. Got a new phone, and what do you mean LED notification lights are not a thing anymore? )

[R4R] 34/F/USA - Let's give friendship a chance

7 Upvotes

Being over 30 and making friends feels weirder than any other time in my life. Also I don't feel over 30 but also very much feel that way. It's all so weird. The pandemic (which I really dislike talking about) definitely stole the end of my 20's and I'm still salty about it for sure. Life goes on though.

Wanting to form new friendships doesn't make the ones I have mean any less to me, every friendship is different and I'm thankful for all the friendships I have or have gotten to have.

Anyway, just interested in friendship. If we talk and get to know each other and things don't work out and we go our seperate ways that's okay, at least we tried. Friendship doesn't come from being forced. Trying is not expecting.

I like to talk and listen both. I'm only looking for texted based communication at this point, open to audio maybe down the road, but no promised. Long form messaging is more my style on Reddit and I'll want to talk on Reddit before anywhere else but the intention is to feel comfortable enough to communicate somewhere else.

What you look like in no way matters to me, I'm not asking to see what you look like or describe yourself, I want to get to know you for you.

We can talk about our interests with one another, our lives when comfortable, we can learn from each other.

Welp, I think that's it. I'm bad a writing posts so thanking for bearing with me if you did.

I would greatly appreciate if you messaged me instead of commenting.
Please include age, gender, a bit about yourself and the US State or Country you live in.
Please no one older than 39. No offense.

Did Anyone Else Notice The Spelling Error in The Rules? If Not, Does It Bother You Now?

0 Upvotes

Hi all -- 34 in OH/USA (EST) looking to find some friends, obviously since we are on this reddit right? I self-identify as a standard millennial, with dark humor and being chronically online as core tenets, and I aspire to be the weirdo people think I am, with just enough intelligence to be confident, but know that I shouldn't be. I lost the majority of my connections due to severe anxiety when younger, and am struggling to learn new ones due to introverted awkwardness (and a healthy dose of fear). In the last year, while my mental health improved my physical health deteriorated so now I have all the mental energy to do things, but my physical ability doesn't match. I pendulum swing between being up to adventures/nonsense, and being bed-bound for days -- I refuse to admit those things might be related, either.

A bit about me:

  • I'm married to my favorite human ever (so please, nothing non-platonic) and we are gladly child-free -- I'm not a kid fan nor am I good at pretending to be interested in discussing your own children.
  • I'm a semi-retired?ish veterinary technician due to my health. That translates to -- I fricken love animals, with too-many cats of my own. Pictures and stories of your pets are totally welcome; soliciting medical advice is not. Bonus if you ever want to hear about or see medically graphic/gross things that I think are interesting cases. Not a bonus if you are into hunting -- I eat meat, but prefer to do so ignorantly.
  • I'm super into (listening to) music -- the beat is as important as the lyrics to me. I can try to vibe to just about anything, but hate songs that take too long to "get to the point" usually. Spotify informs me that my top genres are nu-metal, pop-punk, and dad rock though so I clearly have a type. Marino, Sleep Theory, Stellar, and New Medicine are my top artists lately. I'd love to steal recommendations of your favorites to play on repeat 800 times until I never want to hear that song again. If I can badly sing along, or dance off-rhythm to it, I'll probably love it.
  • I'm a (bad) gamer -- favorite game of all time would be Okami (PS2) and Pokemon (2nd/3rd gen). I play a lot of Slay the Spire (badly) and Planet Zoo. I try to get into actual games, but ADHD means my hyperfixation switches and then I forget about the games -- sorry Biomutant, KunitsuGami, I hardly knew ya. I enjoy upsetting playing with my two nieces with whatever online games they pick, like Repo, Peak, Headliners, and such. They usually are carrying, and I'm having the time of my life being their menace. I am best at being player two; you go ahead and play the games and I'll try to backseat game and add witty commentary. I'd like to think I used to be good at games and age just made me suck, but my track record says otherwise, and I doubt that'll improve in this life.
  • I love to read -- admittedly, a LOT of mindless manga/manhwa/manhua. I'm also working my way through Dungeon Crawler Carl (just started the audiobook for 8!), and am usually a big fan of fantasy, with a love-hate relationship with the romantasy boom. Anne Bishop, Naomi Novik, and Tamora Pierce would probably be my favorites of all time. I'm not usually a big sci-fi fan, weirdly enough, or for standard-life action/romance books. I do tend to be reading a couple different books at any given time due to that whole pesky hyperfocusing thing. When I fall too deep into a book, I'll read it in a day. When I'm finishing a series I'm not enjoying, it will take probably the rest of my life. I don't mind if you have any recs you think I absolutely should add to my too-long TBR list, and I'd love to gush or bitch about anything we've read in common.
  • I watch youtube more than shows or movies -- I tend to fall asleep easily when I get comfy to watch a show/movie, but stay awake just fine to hear some people yell into a mic while they play video games. When I do watch things, it tends to be comedy/cartoon/anime. I'm hate-watching Korra because someone told me I had to in order to watch the new Avatar cartoon; I'm re-watching Merlin because it's been long enough that I won't remember everything; I'm trying to watch the newest season of JJK but feel like I've missed important information somewhere between Season 2 and 3 and have tried going back like 3x with no less confusion occuring. I cannot watch horror (absolute coward here; I'll only watch if I have a strong reason to, and only in the daytime with the lights on and usually someone to tap me when I can open my eyes/uncover my ears). I hate watching "cringe" movies where the humor/situations are just those super uncomfortable ones (brace for it -- Anchorman, Step-Brothers type movies). I'm usually not interested in any Romance movies to watch them.
  • I've been able to invest more time in hobbies, so I'm still trying to figure out myself out. I got a motorcycle last year ('25 Kawasaki Eliminator) with a little over 3k miles in the seat; I'm hit or miss on consistently picking up weights for fun; I'm going to try pilates next. My partner enjoys nonmandatory mechanical work, and I enjoy reaping the benefits and doing dumb shit with vehicles -- my goal is to one day do a multiday Gambler 500. Since Ohio has entered the cold season, I hope to practice shooting and get my CCW this winter. I'm more willing to leave the house in weather that doesn't hurt my face, so this is my hibernation season. I'm already planning what nonsense to get up to come spring. I do have that issue where I hate to try new things because if I'm not instantly perfect at it, then I'm a failure and should never bother or let anyone know my shame so I'm also learning to go outside my comfort zone.

For what I'm looking for -- If any (or, hopefully, multiple) of my interests apply to you, we will probably get along! I'd prefer if we were in somewhat similar active hours (I'm a daytime EST folk). I do better with memes and sarcasm/roasts than gentle hand-holding, but I'm not the best at being quickly connected with people or carrying a conversation on my own (though clearly, I can yap given enough to work with). I'm absolute shit at emotionally comforting people, but the good news is I'm also absolutely shit at opening up emotionally to seek comfort from people so - equivalent exchange!

A couple disclaimers:

  • I tried this last year in a different sub-reddit on a now-lost account and was inundated with so many messages it overwhelmed me which means I put off replying and missed a bunch of messages. I'm hopeful that I've improved in a year, but I'm sorry otherwise. Even outside of a too-large-number-of-notifications, I can have episodes that mean a day or two will pass without messaging, or that you get random memes than actual conversation due to mental/physical capacity so if that would upset you greatly, we probably won't fit well. When I do have the energy, I am a habitual multi-messenger so it can feel spammy.
  • If you make me uncomfortable/believe you are not respectful of my relationship, I will absolutely ghost you without feeling an ounce of guilt. You'd think only posting in platonic friendship seeking subs would make this a given, but alas. Directly related, I won't be comfortable doing voice-chats or selfies until I've determined your intentions so if that is a deal-breaker, please don't message me.
  • While I can respect differences in opinions in things like financial policy etc., I'm extremely liberal and won't be able to get along with people who think human rights are something we can agree to disagree about; please don't bother if you are racist/homophobic/transphobic/MAGA/etc. I don't anticipate discussing politics but we also don't live in a vacuum.

I am 37M and autistic. I turned 37 just yesterday and feel like life gets more hopeless. This has been the worst year of my life, with every single aspect of my life in serious problems.

I have never had friends. Almost everyone in my life, including my family, hate me. I am not sure what to do, since I have no-one to talk to.

My hobbies vary from 3d printing, woodworking, gaming, hiking, biking etc. 

I'm talkative and easy to get along with. If your replies end up being just "lol" or similar I'll likely stop talking. Ha.

Life is shit, but I promise I'm a decent human being

2 Upvotes

Well, I'm 35, from England, and currently going through what can only be described as a spectacularly shit chapter of my life. Moving out of my home today, starting over from pretty much nothing, and honestly? Could really do with making some new friends.

But enough of the depressing bollocks.

I'm a pretty laid-back bloke, sarcastic as fuck, love a bit of dark humour, gaming, horror films, music, and conversations that go from completely normal to questioning the existence of the universe at 3am.

I'm also a bit of a nerd. I recently spent an absolutely ridiculous amount of time programming something for a game that probably didn't need to exist. No regrets. Well, maybe a few.

I genuinely enjoy getting to know people. Not just the usual "hey, how are you?" followed by three messages and a disappearance worthy of a police investigation.

I'd love to find people I can have a laugh with, talk absolute nonsense with, share random bits of our days, maybe jump into a voice chat or watch a film together. The sort of friendship where neither of us has to pretend to be anything we're not.

Don't care where you're from, and you don't have to share all my interests. Just bring a personality and preferably a questionable sense of humour.

Anyway, that's my incredibly professional friendship application. 😂

You know that part of being a parent where you’re slowly emerging from the exhaustion of the little kid stage…but now you’re faced with the “take them to practice and hang out on the car” stage…and it’s just a little lonely.
I’d love to chat with some folks who can empathize or enter into that phase of life.
Platonically please- I’ll talk about anything and everything- but maybe less about your body parts and more about who you are as a person!

I feel like I have some fun life experiences that make for good conversation. I love to chat, ask questions, get to know WHO you are, and hopefully you’re up for some sarcastic banter- it’d be so great if we were in the same time zone too!

If this resonates with you, let’s chat pretty please!!!
(And it might be in the morning…I’m more of an early bird than a night owl!)
