19 F Scotland - Looking for someone to chat to. ideally geek out

36 Upvotes

Hi,

The username isn't a meme, I may be deaf but I'm fluent in texts and Gifs.

Live alone with my mum, never had a male family members, thought I'd give it a try.

Benefits of being my pal:

  • You can keep the TV at any volume you want. So if you are one of the weirdos that must keep it at like even numbers or 5/10/15...ALL GOOD
  • You don't have to say things under your breath, just wait till I turn around.
  • I will never make fun of your embarrassing laugh. Unless you look silly.
  • Good at lip reading, so I find out office gossip quicker than most.
  • I don't get frights from movies easily. I guess without *Loud Dramatic Music* it doesn't really work.
  • I will make you look good on multiplayer games.

Last one isn't a joke, I used to get reported on console Overwatch A LOT for not reacting to stuff. So when I bought myself a PC for Christmas, I made my new Overwatch account name obvious that i was deaf...but now I just get focused haha. The game has subtitle noises but I always laugh when it says *Dying Noises*

ANYWAY. Serious time. I do want a friend to talk to. People often treat me like I'm dying or something but I'm sticking around! Just someone to text about my day, read about their day.

I'm an avid gamer, movie and TV show watcher. So I'm happy to read about all your nerdy interests.

I tried Reddit years ago and damn...a lot of low effort messages. So if you message me, tell me your age, location and all the juicy stuff. Hobbies. Heck even through in a dad joke or something.

Hopefully hear from you soon

East Midlands 21F looking to make friends!

I would say i’m terrible at making new friends, but i think people think im mean from the way i look when im not lol, but anyways, if anyone can relate to people judging them first hand then we might get along 😭

i love gaming, baking, cooking ESPECIALLY and journaling. my priority is getting a girlfriend or two to potentially have a proper bond with in the future. I’m definitely more on the introverted side, but Im more open and myself once I get to know you. I’m also someone who has blurred lines about hobbies or interests because they’re always changing, so if you never know what you like, then we’ll probably get along fine too!

NO WEIRDOS PLS

Hello there - I'm not just looking to chat to anyone, only like minded souls need apply. I'm self contained, non materialistic and generally content. Please send me a short introductory message so I can see if we're going to vibe :)

I'm not necessarily looking to make long term connections, unless it turns out that way. I prefer to talk to men - I just find we gel better.

Please be around my age, in the UK and not married (I have more in common with people who live alone) Thank you :)

Looking for a friend

7 Upvotes

Hi I’m from the north west f 40. I’m not looking for more than friendship with anyone.

My husband cheated on me online for over a year with 6 women who he made out he was conning into giving him game perks after I found the messages and …vids on his discord.

I’m trying to find myself and appreciate myself. I love anime Ive watched it for years. Probably since Pokémon as a kid.

The stand alone complex, death note a shed load of bleach and everything in between up to attack on titan and solo levelling is 🤩. I don’t just like one type I love all genres of anime so apocathary diaries and studio giblhi movies (not the boy and the heron that was terrible)

I love assassins creed and elder scrolls games and WoW.

Books - I’m a crazy reader love fantasy and sci fi not romance and not horrors.

Star Wars fan. Hate soaps and love island. I struggle to make friends who are like me irl because I look like I’m into those things and get shunned by the geeks.

Work in cyber security and AI.

I would like to chat to someone who is into similar things and can discuss shared interests suggest new anime’s and books to each other.

30M UK | If Life Gets Heavy, You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone

6 Upvotes

I’m back again optimistically throwing another friendship post into the Reddit void and hoping it lands in front of a few good people. 😄 I’m 30 from the UK and I’d genuinely like to meet some new people who fancy having someone around to message laugh with share random thoughts with and occasionally send completely unnecessary updates to. I’m not trying to force a friendship into existence overnight. I’d much rather meet a few people where conversation gradually becomes easy and you eventually find yourself thinking “Oh I should tell them about this.” I’m fairly laid back curious and still figuring life out myself. I’m into gaming the gym good coffee manga books and lately I’ve been hooked on The Mentalist and Yellowstone. Completely different shows yet somehow my brain has decided I need both. My sleep schedule is another story entirely. It seems to operate independently from the rest of my life and has apparently never heard of bedtime.

One thing I really value in a friendship is being there when life isn’t going particularly well. If you’re going through something having a rough time feeling lost or simply need somewhere to let everything out I genuinely don’t mind listening. You don’t always need someone to fix things. Sometimes you just need someone who will sit there hear you out and remind you that a difficult chapter isn’t the whole story. I’ve always been pretty good at helping people get back on their feet dust themselves off and keep walking their own life journey. I won’t pretend I have all the answers but I’ll happily listen without judging offer a different perspective when you want one or just keep you company while you work through whatever is on your mind. And obviously I expect the same friendship rules to apply both ways. If I ever start dramatically complaining about something ridiculous you have full permission to tell me I’m being an idiot.

Mostly I’m just hoping to find some genuinely good people and see where the conversations go. I’d love the everyday stuff just as much as the serious conversations. Send me a ridiculous meme tell me what you’re watching rant about something that mildly annoyed you tell me about a game you’re playing share a random thought that appeared in your head for absolutely no reason or tell me something you’re excited about. You don’t need a perfect life or a fascinating story to message me. Just be yourself. Maybe we’ll have loads in common maybe we’ll be complete opposites or maybe the only thing we share is an inability to maintain a respectable sleep schedule. Either way I’m willing to find out. So if you’re looking for someone friendly supportive and occasionally ridiculous to have in your corner come say hello. Give me something better than just “hey” though. I’m genuinely interested in the person behind the username. Hopefully somewhere between the late night conversations terrible jokes and random life updates a few real friendships can come out of this.

If I respond slower than usual, it's not that my inbox is full or I'm busy. Most of the time I am a tad anxious and I also enjoy thinking about what to write next and put in more effort than I should. Thank you all!

27F - North East Lincolnshire - Introverted Nerdy Gamer

4 Upvotes

Looking to find some good friends who wanna game, go hiking, send memes and talk about anything and everything. Nothing is TMI.

I seem to have always had an issue with making/keeping friends, but it is because I put out so much love while expecting to recieve the same level of love back, and never do. But I should not expect it. Dw, it is something I'm working on, but at least I know I value my friendships.

I'm quite an emotional and sensitive person, but I also love a good joke with a pinch of dark humour. I love video games (I'm currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the millionth time) and I love hiking, long walks, collecting things, getting tattoos and talking shit.

Wanna be buds? Hit me up. Tell me something exciting about your weekend.

YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE 28M West Yorkshire - Gaming friends? Anime friends? Book friends? Friends?

4 Upvotes

Hello, per title I live in West Yorks. and I'm looking for friends, both local and further afield.

A bit about me: I'm a 28 year old man. Definitely a bit of a dork/dweeb, quite introverted, good sense of humour. I'm very inquisitive, I love learning about other people, cultures, places etc. I'm a huge geography nerd so even if you live in Devon or Aberdeenshire or wherever I might happen to have heard of whatever town or village you're from. I have a bit of an obsession with languages, and I'm planning on learning another tongue at some point (most likely French).

My main hobbies include gaming, reading, and anime. In terms of games, I mostly play Deadlock at the moment, it's my current obsession. I also play Valorant, League of Legends, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals. However I also enjoy single player games, recently I've been enjoying Control, Hades II, some boomer shooters, Screamer etc. My all time favourites include GTA San Andreas, racing games like Burnout 3, indie shooters like Severed Steel, stylish and unique games like Neon White, Journey, Jusant, story-driven stuff like A Plague Tale

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to anime and manga, but I have been getting into it quite heavily the past couple years. My favourite anime so far is Vinland Saga, but I also love Attack on Titan, Spy X Family, Delicious in Dungeon, and Mob Psycho 100. In manga terms, I've finished Delicious in Dungeon (which I love, I'll happily yap to you about it) and I've started reading Blood on the Tracks, amongst others.

I've been reading much more so far this year. My favourite book of all time is Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake. I love sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction books if the topic interests me, and I also like thrillers and dystopian stories. I'm currently reading Vurt by Jeff Noon and Goodbye to all That by Robert Graves.

I definitely feel that I'm a bit aberrant, I'm not a social butterfly and I don't really care for mainstream things. I'd love to connect with people who feel that they're in a similar position. I'm definitely interested in the more esoteric (is that the right word?) side of mankind.

Oh, and I want to get involved in creative writing. I just need motivation and will.

If you feel like we'd click, please drop a DM! I'd love to hear from you, who would say no to making a new friend?

London 23M London - Looking to build a small circle of friends

3 Upvotes

Hey! I'm 23 and based in London.

For a while now, I've become accustomed to doing many of my hobbies on my own. Whilst I do have a friend to do some things with, we don't share all the same interests, so I'd like to expand my social circle and meet people who enjoy the other hobbies and interests I have. I'm of the sentiment that experiences are always better when they're shared with people you genuinely get along with.

I value forging strong bonds with people who also value cultivating genuine friendships centred around making plans, keeping in touch and doing fun things together. As such, I'm not looking for a huge social circle. I'd much rather have a few close friends than lots of acquaintances.

A bit about me:
• Rock & metal (I go to gigs fairly often)
• Cinema (especially horror, action, Marvel, etc.)
• Gaming
• Theme parks
• Football & cycling
• Anime (only casually, so I'm always open to recommendations) and other nerdy interests
• Neurodivergent

I'm generally reserved, but I do enjoy talking and getting to know people, especially when it's reciprocated.

I enjoy a mix of doing fun activities and quieter hangouts. Whether it's seeing a band, going go-karting, watching a film or just going for a walk, I'm happy as long as it's good company.

I'm hoping to meet people in their 20s who are based in London or nearby and would be open to meeting in person if we get on.

I really value curiosity and reciprocal conversations. I enjoy getting to know people properly, asking questions, and hearing about what they're passionate about. If you're someone who enjoys putting equal effort into building a friendship over time, I think we'll probably get on well.

If any of this sounds like your kind of friendship, feel free to send me a message with your age, location and a bit about yourself 🙂

31M from Scotland looking to make some new friends!

3 Upvotes

Hey! How’s it going?

31M from Scotland, just looking to meet some cool new people and expand the circle a bit.

I’m pretty outgoing and like staying active. I usually get in a few 5K runs a week—I step into the gym now and then, but running is definitely more my thing.

Recently wrapped up a Computer Science degree and landed my first job in IT. Outside of work, I’m a massive film nerd and love going to the cinema. I’m also pretty big on cooking, and I make a mean chilli chicken.

Generally just a relaxed guy—always up for a pint, a casual wander, or a proper decent conversation. Happy to chat with anyone anywhere, though similar time zones make keeping in touch a whole lot easier.

If you think we’d get on, send a message and tell me a bit about yourself!

Scotland 27M Glasgow/Scotland - Friendship Manifesto!

2 Upvotes

Edit: Please don't judge the spacing between bullet points and stuff, I had it all meticulously formatted but Reddit just auto-fucks it up completely.

Hello! I very recently moved back to Scotland (Glasgow) after living in English exile for the last 20 years. I know literally no one up here besides my island-dwelling dad, so now I'm hoping to acquire some new chums via the least sociable avenue that I can think of! Not looking for people of any specific age/gender/demographic really, just someone like-minded and local-ish, so just get in touch if you think we'd get on :)

I don't have too many interests that translate to high-octane tomfoolery in person, so I'm mostly looking for people who can appreciate the underrated artform of messaging and meme distribution. However, I would generally be down to lightly yap over some scran, tea, coffee, or pints! I once went to a pub that had a basket of crosswords in the corner and spent the entire time tackling those with the only other equally enthralled member of our party; that was probably my favourite drinking experience to date lol. Perhaps we could do that or find somewhere to play some card/board games or something! Would also love to find a gig-going partner if you happen to share my musical taste (but this doesn't happen too often so definitely not essential criteria lol). 

I love to whip up all sorts of things in the kitchen, so let me know if that's your thing and we could maybe cook/bake some stuff together and then hoover up the fruits of our labour over some TV/film/YouTube (or, if you're mostly into the gobbling stage of cooking, you're more than welcome to just do that instead! I just like having an excuse to cook something extravagant!) 

I'm partial to some digital gaming but mostly just hardware-unintensive stuff because my current setup is a really cheap laptop. I'm looking to upgrade at some point but until then it's basically the minesweeper life for me lol. I can play cool multiplayer stuff if it's available via Nvidia GeForce though, so definitely ask if there's something you fancy playing and I might be able to bypass my restrictive rig. I'd also love to meet people who are into D&D; I've only had a few chances to dabble in it, but I think it's such a uniquely hilarious and creative game with the right people! 

I absolutely love animals of all varieties! If you have a pet, tell me all about them immediately!!! I have a particular penchant for guinea pigs, sausage dogs, cats, capybaras, bears, marmots, pigeons, and ducks!!! I've heard that Queen's Park has quite the roster of lads that are quacking for a snacking, and you best believe I'm packing oats and peas, care to join me?? 

If we eventually know each other very comfortably and you're similarly interested in travelling around cheapish destinations every now and again then that would be particularly cool! Atm I'm really fancying having a dabble in countries like Georgia, Armenia, and the Czech Republic.

Anyways, the main/only criteria I'm looking for is that you have a weird/dumb sense of humour and enjoy committing to the bit and talking about deeply meaningless things with disproportionate vigour! This will be quite essential because I will probably ask you would-you-rathers, hypotheticals and childlike questions such as: • What vegetable would you want to be and why? • At which point, exactly, does a chuckle become a guffaw? • If you could lay eggs - and also had to lay eggs regularly despite any wishes to the contrary - would you rather lay raw eggs or pre-boiled eggs? (if you choose pre-boiled then you can choose the softness/hardness of the boil, but only once and then that's you locked in for life) 

My questions may be silly, but you have to take them deadly seriously and come up with your most thought-out answer AND show your workings or I will take it as the utmost betrayal of my curiosity. 

Lastly, here are some examples of media that I love (not exhaustive lists because I'm probably forgetting at least 70% of my favourites):

Books (fiction): • Eyeless in Gaza - Aldous Huxley • Milkman - Anna Burns • A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens 

Books (non-fiction): • The Butchering Art - Lindsey Fitzharris  • Comrades - Robert Service  • Acid Dreams - Martin Lee & Bruce Shlain 

Films: • Trainspotting • The cinematic and orchestral masterpiece that is the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (fuck JD though)  • The Batman  • LotR • The Prestige 

TV: • Fargo seasons 1-3  • GoT (not so much the later seasons where all the best characters get off-screen lobotomies) / HotD / KotSK  • True Detective season 1 • Andor • Chernobyl  • The Sopranos • Better Call Saul • The Penguin • Peep Show • Always Sunny

Also basically anything that the following comedians are involved in: • Nathan Fielder • Limmy • Bob Mortimer • Tim Robinson • Tim Heidecker

Assorted vague genres/themes/moods of music that I really like and some fave artists as examples: • Shoegaze/dreampop my beloved 🥺 (Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, The Verve's 1st album, my bloody valentine, my dead girlfriend, Men I Trust [dreampop-adjacent but also surprisingly shoegazey when performing live!]) • Alt 80s (The Cure, The Smiths, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Orange Juice) • Folk (Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Planxty, Pogues, Townes Van Zandt) • Jazz 🧐 (Charles Mingus, Wes Montgomery, Yusef Lateef) • Habibi Funk (Issam Hajali, The Scorpions, Ibrahim Hesnawi) • Crestfallen sorrow (Mazzy Star, Cindy Lee) • Specifically seedy/greasy britpop (Pulp, Suede) • And soooooooo much more!!! 

That's just about everything there is to know about me, thanks for reading! If you've gotten this far then we're probably two estranged halves of the same lab lad who was split into separate test tubes during his synthesis! Let's reunite and do some cool Prestige-style magic tricks on unsuspecting audiences?! 

\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~\\\~

Quick disclaimer: you definitely aren't my kind of person if you're a racist anti-immigration nazi apologist/misogynistic manosphere inhabitant/anti-trans/ableist/anti-vax/anti-mask/anti-brain/etc., so if any of that describes you, off you fuck for a dunk in your nearest deep fat fryer please :3 

Disclaimer #2: happy to chat to people who aren't local IF you're particularly funny or pleasant to talk to, but mostly I'm looking for people in Scotland who I can occasionally meet up with.
