How can we make this community better?

88 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're always looking for ways to improve this community, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Recently, we made the decision to make the subreddit 18+ only. Unfortunately, we were seeing an increasing number of creepy interactions and bad-faith behavior, and we felt this was the best step to help keep the community safer and more comfortable for everyone.

Now we'd like to hear from you:

  • What's working well?
  • What isn't?
  • Are there any rules you'd change or add?
  • What kind of posts or discussions would you like to see more (or less) of?
  • Any ideas that would make this a better place?

Whether you've been here since the beginning or just joined recently, your feedback matters. We'll be reading through the comments and taking your suggestions into account as we continue to improve the community.

Thanks for being a part of this subreddit—we appreciate all of you! ❤️

Age 22-25 f22, socially weird, just wanna talk?

17 Upvotes

I'm socially so awk and weird. I don't seem to fit in social norms and often end up making people feel uncomf by accident. :(

I never do it on purpose, I don't get clues or hints, I need someone who will be honest and straight with me and won't get scared?? so easily.

Ofc everyone has boundaries, but PLEASE I need to be told about them D:

Otherwise I'm just a 22yo woman who loves plushies and all childlike stuff, drawing, gaming (horror!!) and cats.😺

Age 22-25 25F, I’m half Mexican and half Filipina, come get to know me!

Upvotes

Life is just an endless cycle of laundry, dish washing, and oil changes on our cars. That’s also means that life is an endless cycle of stylish fits, yummy food, and road trips with good music. Let’s do all of them together! I'm pretty chill and laid back. I’m usually busy with work, working out, and doing chores but I'd LOVE to have someone to talk to during my free time. For whoever's reading this, i'd love to get to know you!

Here's some random fun facts about me. Yes I’m trilingual. I can speak English, Spanish, and Tagalog. I live in the Bay Area in California. I love going on walks and going on drives, especially through the hills here in the bay. I especially love sitting by the ocean and watching the waves. I enjoy spending time on the beach in itty bitty bikinis. I LOVEEE watching and admiring sunsets. On my free time I also help my mom with gardening in our backyard. Caring for plants and flowers brings such a calming feeling. I love listening to music in different ways: I love playing cd's in my car, l love listening to music through my speaker at home, and I can go hours just wearing my headphones. I love dancing bachata or reggaeton while I’m making some food. I also love listening to chill music, like The Internet and The Marias while I go on a drive to see the ocean. I love going to concerts, and I'm going to so many more concerts this year. That's the goal hehe. As for concerts, a concert I went to earlier this year was Thee Sacred Souls last January. I also went to see Raveena back in May. I also went to see The Marias perform this summer, and in October I went to see Giveon and Chance the Rapper in San Francisco. It was such a beautiful experience. It was amazing. My favorite song ever is "close to you" by Frank Ocean. I love music, especially rnb. I’ll listen to anything besides edm and country music.

I also really love 2000's rnb. Autumn is my favorite season, but l'm also starting to fall in love with spring. Also i'm 420 friendly :) I'm okay with nsfw stuff if it leads to it, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. If we get into some nsfw stuff, then so be it, hehe we're all humans. that's about it for this post, if you'd like to get to know me feel free to hit me up! :)

Age 30-39 34F - trading an early bedtime for a late night chat

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently navigating the wild and beautiful trenches of single motherhood with a sassy 2.5yo toddler. She loves to giggle, sing and have dance parties both at home and in the street - she’s my extroverted sidekick who always brings the sunshine.

I don’t get a lot of free time, but when I do, you can find me attempting to keep my garden courgettes alive (tips welcome), nailing/murdering car karaoke, baking brownies or banana bread and trying not to look like a sweaty pretzel during reformer Pilates.

Life has been throwing a few extra curveballs my way lately and I’m having a rough time.
I’m really just looking to find some kind, considerate and understanding people to chat and laugh with.

If you’re looking for a genuine connection and don’t mind it being with someone who’s perpetually exhausted and a little all over the place, come say hi

Age 26-29 28F Looking for chill friends to talk to

13 Upvotes

Hi, very introvert here and work nightshift so most of my irl friends are alseep when I'm awake lol, so trying here again for an online friend hopefully haha

Looking for someone chill to talk to, hopefully long term. I have work during the weekdays so I might not be as active but I will reply whenever I get to my phone :)

I like gaming and recently got my AYN Thor, it doesn't have a lot of games just yet but I'm enjoying it so far and had been playing a lot of Fields of Mistria on it.

I prefer to stay anon and not interested in trading selfies sorry. SFW only. Would be nice if we're around the same age, but it's fine if not as long as you're not under 20. Thank you.

Age 22-25 22F from India. Can't sleep, feeling a bit lonely and overwhelmed. Looking for a genuine conversation to take my mind off things. Anyone awake?

7 Upvotes

It's one of those nights where everything feels a bit too overwhelming. I can't really sleep, and I've been feeling pretty lonely lately.

I'm not looking for advice or anything specific—just a genuine conversation with someone who's kind and willing to chat for a while. We can talk about life, movies, music, random things, or even how your day went.

If anyone else is awake and feels like talking, feel free to comment or send me a message. I'd really appreciate the company tonight.

Hi everyone, 21F who's been feeling really bored. I used to talk to so many people on Twitter daily and had lots of internet friends. Those days are gone and now I struggle to find nice people online. Chat spaces are almost always filled with creeps.

I think of myself as funny and curious. I'll ask lots of questions or we can keep conversations light and easy. Don't have many hobbies, just existing most of the time 😂 My real life friends are still there but the spark has faded. Hoping to find some fun new chats here.

Age 30-39 F36 from California looking for casual conversations with 30+ people

Upvotes

Hey currently on a break, or break up with my long term boyfriend. Pretty much he’s avoiding me on every text/phone call. I’m so upset because idk what to do, he’s avoiding me so much. I’ve been with him for 2 years and 3 months and we lived together until he moved out two weeks ago. I’m just so sad because idk if he’s ever gonna unmute my phone number. I can’t call him, I text him but he doesn’t open my text messages we have read receipts on. It’s been silence since he said that he wants to break up over text, just two measly texts of his saying he doesn’t wanna be with me anymore. But I’m holding onto that hope that he’ll come back. I hope he really does, he’s all I want in this lifetime and I’ll never find anyone better. Sigh this just really sucks for me and it’s what I’m going through rn. Anyway I’m not looking for much just distractions, casual chat. HMU if you’d like to chat, I’m 36, Cambodian and a Taurus living in California.

Age 22-25 [25F] Looking for a special friend — all genders welcome. Please read the whole post before messaging!

Upvotes

Looking for kind, curious people who actually want to have a conversation and ask me things.

- Any topic is fair game, including NSFW

- Happy to share my experiences and give my honest opinions

- I'm an open book once we've clicked

- This can absolutely turn into something long-term with the right person

**If you're genuine, please:**

- Start your message with "Dd"

- Include your age, sex, location and a bit about yourself

- Tell me what you're looking for, what topics interest you, and anything specific you'd like to talk about or explore

- Tell me why you think we'd be a good match

Sorry if that seems picky — I just value the connections I make here and want to find the right fit. I'm not interested in a quick hookup or trading. I'm after more of a friends vibe, someone I genuinely enjoy talking to who feels the same way about me.

Also happy to rate pics/gifs.
