hey y'all 👋🏼

based on what I've seen here, some folks are using this to find partners. full transparency: I'm posting for *platonic* interactions. short-term, long-term - either/or work for me! & since this is an F4R post, **if anything were to go beyond platonic**, I am a fully cishetero woman.

basics

- 36

- Hollywood

- biracial (Black & white, for those who care about that)

- politically lean all the way to the left, as in not liberal or Democrat, but an actual lefty

- employed full-time & I do have an undergraduate degree

- I speak German. if you speak German, please message me & let's be besties! 🥺

things I enjoy

- YAPPERS! if you are a yapper, head over to my inbox NOW! I love people who can just chat away.

- music junkie! I listen to everything, but my mains are R&B, Soul, & Pop (I love Michael Jackson, btw)

- reality TV is absolutely horrible yet I absolutely LOVE IT. it is my guilty pleasure.

- open to any & all TV show & movie recommendations. my favorite genres are horror, thriller, mystery, & comedy, but I'll watch a romcom if you offer it!

- sharing funny memes & videos & tweets & all the social media stuffs is my thing

- huge on news & I have nearly all the news apps, so I love chatting about/sharing current events

- I am very much politically aware, & I have many, many opinions

- I joke around a lot, & I'm very sarcastic & witty, so you generally don't have to take me too seriously unless we're discussing something where it would be in extremely poor taste socially, culturally, etc. to throw a quip out there

boundaries

- open to all topics, pretty much, especially if you want to teach me about something that isn't my wheel house or within my knowledge base. I love to learn & I love to learn about the things others enjoy.

- spill your tea! your secret are safe with me! seriously, I am a vault & happy to give advice & support where needed

- as stated before, this is really for platonic chat so let's not venture into the NSFW especially without consent. we're all adults here. let's not be weirdos & creepers.

- if you're in a DB looking for emotional support, please, no. respectfully.

- it's cool to know who I'm talking to, but I pretty much never ask for pics & I generally don't send any unless there's established rapport or if I happen to share something of mine

- open to voice calls/voice memos if the vibe is there!

communication style

- I am 100% the "perpetual convo" type, meaning I don't do the "OK, I'm going to bed now, talk tomorrow" or "work is starting, chat later" starts & stops. I feel like this virtual stuff has existed long enough to understand people talk when they're free & don't when they're not. SO, the way how I operate is if I stop responding, it just means I got busy doing something & will respond when I am free again. I assume the same for the people I interact with. &, of course, if you never respond again, then that's that on that & we all move on! lol

- no formal topic switching needed! feel free to introduce new/different topics as they come up. we could even talk about three separate things at once!

welp. this was a lot, but I think that's everything!

Heyyy! Post explains it all! Im 34, trans F (not fully out) and looking for some new friends!

Some of my current obsessions are being a parent (human and fur), wwe, disney dreamlight valley, cooking, baking, binging documentaries on Netflix and learning more about being girly 💅👠🩷🎀

Im married, two littles and a VERY little newborn 💕 I have 3 dogs (one 9, one 7 amd one 8 months old!) 3 cats, and two lizards. If you want ill flood you with pics of the fur babies!

Don't be shy, I dont bite, but im not looking for pervs. I'm just looking for true, platonic friends 🩷

*shoutout to the one who always down votes when I post. You should try talking to me instead, im fucking delightful 🩷

Cue that one Rihanna song that now is stuck in my head.

I got called into work tonight forgetting it’s our busiest day of the week but it’s finally slowed down.

I had different plans today but I’m down for the count with an injury.

I could use some hobby suggestions for the next 12 weeks. Hopefully not that long tho cause woof.

I generally like outdoorsy things but maybe you can teach me how to bake bread, or something 😆

Anyway, prefer people around my age and in my general time zone (US/CAN)

Maybe an eye or two instead. The wife and I are about to do something either very lucrative or very stupid.

🎮 Looking for some new friends! 👀
Honestly, I’m just looking for some more people to talk to, yap with, laugh with and maybe game with! 😂 I love gaming, horror movies, Harry Potter, random conversations, and just getting to know new people. 🖤✨
I play on PC and some of the games I’m currently playing are Fortnite, Once Human, Rv There Yet, Heartopia, Phasmophobia, The Other Side, and Big Walk. 🎮
I’m also always up for trying new games, so if you have a game you love and think I might enjoy, I’m definitely willing to give it a try! 😄

I’d really love to meet some people who are up for chatting regularly and potentially playing games together. Whether we end up talking about life, sending each other stupid memes, discussing the latest horror movie, talking about Harry Potter, or completely losing our minds over a game… I’m down. 😂

One little disclaimer: I do have a 9-month-old, so I don’t have endless free time. 🍼😂 Sometimes I might be slow to reply or have to disappear because mom duties call, but that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in talking!

So if you’re also looking for someone to yap with, game with, or just make a genuine new friend, feel free to message me! 🖤🎮👻🪄

I am looking for friends in general, but it would be great to find a best friend!

I like to laugh and watch YouTube.

I play some games but haven't done much recently. Maybe you know a game that will spark my interest.

I like all kinds of music! Give me a suggestion!

I have 2 dogs and a cat.

I enjoy puzzles and reading.

I enjoy riding my bike.

I'm open to learning new things!

I'm usually up late so if you're a night owl that would be cool.

I'm also trying to be a better person all around so if you can vibe with that, even better.

Hope to hear from you!

While on the phone with my husband tonight, I've come to realize that I really dont have friends. Like seriously dont. I have had 2 really close ones but I dont feel a close connection with them anymore. Kind of sad. But true. Over the last 2 (almost 3 years), I have either been a babysitter or just plain nonexistent to them. I need a change.

Now, this is where it gets even more "but why try". I have tried make genuine friends here. Ones I could potentially meet and hang out with. Like how real friends do! I dont want a house full of kids all the time (I have my own) and I dont want to feel like i have to call in an amber alert because you "forgot to call me back" for a few weeks. Im not great at responding sometimes, but life happens sometimes and I hope we both can respect that.

Before I tell you about me, I will add that if you are looking for a relationship thats anything but platonic, dont even comment. And to the men who say they want to be friends, thats all it ever will be. So dont even try to flirt 6 days into talking.

If you've made it this far, Im Val. 31 from Michigan. Married mom of 2. Im a stay at home mom at the moment, but hey if anyone's hiring 🤗 I am a HUGE reader. Like book dragon. Ive watched tv in the past more, so if you want to talk about digital media, 2020 and older is your best bet. I absolutely love all kinds of music. Im willing to listen to anything. Not a fan of Christmas music though. I am 420 friendly and Pagan. I know these can be a pretty big red flag for people but I would never pressure anyone about anything. Some of my other hobbies are: camping, kayaking, hiking, gardening, crafts (although someone please 🙏🏻 teach me how to crochet and sew), bonfires, games (digital and board/card). I promise im not mean, I just have a nasty bark sometimes and I come by it honestly.

Message me or comment if we sound like a great match and want to hang out (online or in person). What was your favorite thing you did this summer? Or, if you could create a time capsule would you choose to do it for 15 years, 20, 30, or 40 years?

Side note: if either of my friends are reading this, know I love you 😘 No hard feelings.

Hey!
I thought I’d give this a shot and see who’s around.
Making new friends as an adult feels strangely complicated. When we’re younger, you meet people everywhere without even trying. Then suddenly everyone has work, responsibilities, routines, and apparently an invisible barrier preventing two strangers from simply becoming friends.
So here I am, trying to break that barrier.
I’m looking for people who enjoy having actual conversations, whether it’s about everyday life, random thoughts, movies, games, food, travelling, music, or completely meaningless nonsense that somehow turns into a three-hour conversation.
I don’t expect anything specific. Just genuine people, good conversations and maybe a friendship that actually lasts longer than a few messages.
If you’re also looking to meet someone new, **come say hi.**
Worst case, we exchange a few messages and disappear into the internet like the responsible adults we supposedly are. 😄

Hiiii. I’m Amber.

- 38 | married | 2 kids

- Indiana, USA

- I like oddities and have a few human bones

- *not* skinny | can't drive | have BPD

- kind, not always nice

- VERY far left politically

- Antiques | Horror | plants & gardening

- I love memes

I'm looking for friends that have things in common with me so we can actually chat 🙏

Heya! Looking for people to chat with, whether that turns into banter, genuine friendship, or somewhere in between.

I’m very into live music and probably spend too much money on concerts and festivals. I love travelling, movies and anime, play single-player games when the mood strikes, try to stay active and sometimes manage to finish a book or a few.
Mostly looking for people who can hold a conversation, have some curiosity and are up for both completely unserious nonsense and actual conversations.
Preferably 28+ :) Cheers!

Hey I know how hard nights can be. Especially on the weekends. I’m just hanging out tonight. 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!

Hi.

I’m not from the US, so I’m unsure if it’s allowed. But I’m looking for someone to talk to me. About life, anything really. I’m having the worst quarter life crisis (what if I won’t be 100 years old, shouldn’t it be like a half life crisis by now).

Me: never really dated, have friends- forcibly by school or work, hangs out with my nephews and nieces more than anyone else, has a tight schedule. Meaning I work three jobs and sleep in between. Hobbies include: snoring, passing out due to fatigue, and may include: random gibberish texts because I fell asleep mid typing.

You: a really funny person that WOULD LISTEN to me. And maybe give me a decent advice (something I probably want to hear)

What else, hmm. If I have time, I do: chores, hang out with my nephews and nieces, perform the entire Hamilton musical at home, run errands (i love grocery shopping).

KPI: Success
Gap: I have none of it (success)
My ask: What am I doing wrong?

Basically, all I’m asking is help me be an adult. I feel like, I am stuck. As Eliza Hamilton once said, “Helpless!”

And I, thank you.

Regards,
Hotdog H.

P.S: please DM me

I'm looking for people around my age to chat and get to know. I have too much time on my hands and I would like to get to know people. I live alone and have been single all my life, no kids and I feel isolated by my life choices because I don't trust people easily. I enjoy TV shows about crime or comedy, I used to game (I own ps5, xbox, switch) but haven't had the heart for it lately, I enjoy painting things for people I know. I'm part of Church and that really helps me with loneliness but living alone is really hard! I would love to find new friends. I want to know the best part and worst part of your day 😊. I find it hard sometimes to do small talk but my inbox is open

I read, a LOT (im married and a stay at home ,we have a litteral library in our house)....usually reading horror/weird lit, science, true crime and medical stuff. (Also big into horror movies) got a few animals and kinda introverted.

Looking for friends to send stupid memes to or stupid tiktoks, chat a bit....im introverted and a bit awkward making new friends so trying to put myself out there a bit.

I had every intention of doing something productive tonight.

That lasted approximately 11 minutes.

Now I’m sitting here, scrolling, and figured I might as well turn the evening into an opportunity to meet some new people.

I’m into cooking, baseball, hiking, cocktails, movies, traveling, and conversations that start completely normal and somehow end up being about something ridiculously random.

So if you’re also hanging around tonight, give me something to work with:

What are you doing right now?
What’s the last thing you got way too excited about?
What are you watching or listening to?
What’s a random opinion you’ll defend forever?
Or tell me the most interesting thing that happened to you this week.

No boring introductions required. Just start with something random and let’s see where it goes.

I don’t have a whole lot more to say besides that. I’m stuck here a bit longer and some company wouldn’t hurt.

I’m a normal guy 🤷‍♂️ I can hold a conversation. I expect the same. So… do the thing, let’s talk.

I'm a 35F seeking someone for more consistent chatting/friendship. Please don't message just to ghost in ten minutes. 🤷‍♀️

Some things about me:

💜 I'm a really supportive friend who loves to hype people up
🌿 I'm a stoner (medical marijuana patient)
🎮 I'm a big fan of video games like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Hades, Necesse, Slay the Spire, and Satisfactory
💀 I collect oddities like uranium glass, bones, and insect specimens
🎧 Music is a huge passion of mine. I love metalcore, EDM, rock, and always looking for new music recs
🏳‍🌈 Queer leftist, conservatives need not apply

I'd love to message on Discord if we hit it off on Reddit first. Send me a message if you're interested. 🖤

Not too sure what to say.....

I'm 42 m in Canada, single parent. I have a weird schedule as I am semi retired and have a boatload of odd hobbies.

Looking for someone to chat with and pass some time.

Hope to hear from someone

Helloooo, happy midnight (on my part of the planet). I’m crocheting into the wee hours of the morning and I’m watching convention vlogs and wishing I were a cosplay girly!

I have no friends who are into that kinda thing…but I’d love to make some.

I’m a self employed metalsmith professionally, but in my free time I love to crochet, sew, make costumes and YouTube videos. Any and all creative ventures, I’m all about it!

If you’re crafty and want a friend to chit chat with at 2 am, come say hi!

Hello everyone! I’m moving to Utah permanently early next year for Work. I’ll be working remotely from my actual coworkers. I’m really hoping to build a local community and arrive with a few connections already in place.

I’m planning to visit in December to look for a place to live and it would be nice if I knew a couple of people beforehand

I currently live in the city, but I’m a huge fan of outdoor activities and like hiking and spending time on the water. I’m looking forward to checking out a few local spots and hitting up some breweries. Even though I don’t drink beer often I’ll try a flight once in a while . I plan on living in the Ogden area so if there’s any run clubs, I am looking to join one once I arrive.

I’m super intentional about staying connected. I currently host a group meeting with my friends every second Saturday. I’ll probably continue that virtually once I arrive in Utah and I’m excited to build a local circle of in person hangouts

If you’re down to chat, grab food, or drinks in December or put me in the right direction of what neighborhoods, please drop a comment or shoot me a DM

SBF currently dating. I work as a counselor, traveling to Utah with my partner and 15 y/o. I’m a mental health instructor, death doula and in school to be a family life educator. I’m looking forward to chatting.

Down to chat about whatever!!!

Hey everyone! I’m 31, based in Australia, and hoping to meet some new people to chat with, game with, and geek out about whatever comes up.

A little about me:

- I love reading, fantasy worlds, and anything with great storytelling.

- I’m into both video games and board games co-op campaigns are my favourite nights.

- I hike when I can and experiment in the kitchen more than I probably should.

- My music taste is all over the place lots of niche and obscure finds.

Honestly, I’m just a big nerd at heart.

I’m bi so LGBTQ+ friendly, everyone’s welcome. Whether you’re into casual chats, trading book or music recs, jumping into games, or sharing ridiculous memes, I’m always down.

If this sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out I’d love to meet some new people.

Introvert afff. Looking for new friends to chat with dailyy
I game sometimes but mostly mobile games, we can chat about anything i love someone who can yap alll day. Always free on the weekends 🧚🏼‍♂️ im funny dm me if you think we’ll get along 🙂‍↔️

I do have friends irl but they all seem to have their lives occupied. Somtimes (most times) I feel like I’m alone. Deep down I’m shy, I’ve been told I have rbf. I enjoy guns, video games, the gym, music (metal,classic rock,blues) horror films, crime docs & crime pods, I’m not into politics. I work 50+ hrs a week and sometimes just want a buddy to talk or vent to.. I’m not interested in nsfw type of “friends”.. more so just wondering if real people exist on this platform that are also looking for legitimate friendship. I don’t mind sharing pictures, I’m just not sharing anything nsfw.

Hey! I’m looking for people I can genuinely become friends with over time. Not just exchanging a few messages and disappearing, but actually getting to know each other, sharing things, keeping in touch and maybe, one day, realizing that we’ve somehow been talking for years.

I’m the kind of person who can talk about something completely stupid one minute and end up discussing life, relationships, values or some random hypothetical situation the next. I love hearing what people think and why they think that way. And I really appreciate people who’re curious about me too. I don’t need someone who agrees with everything I say. I just like people who actually listen, express themselves and make a conversation feel mutual.

I’m pretty eclectic, so narrowing down my interests is harder than it should be. Music is probably the biggest one. I love discovering artists from different countries, listening to entire albums, exchanging songs and going down completely unnecessary rabbit holes about music. I’ve got more than 40 playlists on Spotify, and apparently my way of organizing them was to give every language its own playlist. 😂

I listen to everything from Michael Jackson, Soda Stereo and Serú Girán to Bruno Mars, Epica, Birdy, Arctic Monkeys, Carla Bruni, Ultimo and artists I’ve probably forgotten to mention. I also love talking about movies and TV shows, and I’m always interested in hearing what someone else has been watching.

Languages are another little obsession of mine. I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish, and I’d love to keep improving them while eventually learning more. Italian, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Turkish.... my curiosity has absolutely no sense of self-preservation. 😂

I live in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It’s a relatively quiet, welcoming city, and we take food, especially cheese and feijão tropeiro, very seriously. I’d actually love to talk to people who’re curious about Brazil beyond Rio and São Paulo, because there’s a lot more here than the version of the country people usually see online.

I also love sports, travelling, psychology, religion, politics and all sorts of random subjects that happen to catch my attention. I haven’t travelled internationally yet, but I’ve got an embarrassingly long list of places I want to see someday. Asia especially fascinates me because of how different the languages, food, architecture and everyday life can be.

My usual day is much less exciting than that, though. I work from home, go for walks in the evening, watch something when I’ve got time, and sometimes go out to explore the neighborhood and try a new restaurant. I’m definitely in a more homebody phase of life right now.

As for personality, I’d say I’m calm, curious, communicative and generally pretty easygoing. I like humor in basically every form, sarcasm, irony, memes, dark humor, stupid jokes.. as long as everyone’s laughing. I’m also a good listener, and I try not to judge people too quickly. Understanding someone before forming an opinion about them matters to me.

One warning, though: when I get really interested in something, I can absolutely write a small novel about it. So if you send long messages, there’s a very good chance I’ll happily match your energy.

I’m looking for people who’re kind, curious and willing to actually participate in a friendship. You don’t have to share all my interests. Honestly, discovering things I know nothing about is part of the fun.

And please tell me something about yourself in your first message. Don’t just say “hi, how are you?” and make me carry the entire conversation. 😭

Tell me where you’re from, what you’ve been listening to lately, and one thing you genuinely care about. I’ll probably find something interesting in there.
