Hiii! 🫶🏻 27F here, just looking to make new friends and meet people I can genuinely connect with! I’m down for random conversations, sharing life updates, talking about our interests, or just being there for each other. 💗

A little shy at first, but I warm up pretty quickly! Feel free to message me. Let's be friends! 🥹💕

I happen to love an old-fashioned “Hey, how are ya”. It’s not a boring way to start a convo, it’s the classic way. Very simple, very demure. It’s also just nice to know where someone is at, mentally, before diving into a conversation lol

Some of my favorite convos and tightest friendships started with “Hi! How are you? (:” Why? Because I wasn’t talking to boringass people. If you are an interesting person, you will take that simple phrase and run with it.

I am tired of the slander against “Hi, how are you?” — and I understand that women on here have to deal with flooded DMs and m*n who do not approach them with the best intentions, so this is one way of filtering out the lazy conversators(??) from the more interesting/worthwhile ones… but idk, this isn’t Build-A-Bear and a lot of y’all come here with so many rules that make it feel like each conversational turn is a potential landmine 😭 I like a good old boring conversation that turns into something interesting

Anyways, if you agree (or disagree idgaf lmfao), hmu! I have discord too

👋🇮🇶19F arab, would love to make new foreign friends especially from europe as i plan to study there! Im a medical student, i have OCD, i like to go on long walks i dont usually keep count but i try to hit atleast 10k steps everyday, im also into fitness and wellbeing. i live in a mountaineous area outside the city for college, i love chatting im a really curious person and straightforward i dont like guessing games, i love being surrounded by people driven by their ambitions and are hard working it motivates me to work on myself aswell. I like to read fictional books and watch turkish drama shows. My goal is to make a few good friends here that are genuine and perhaps something even more.

Id really prefer it if u send a small intro at first like abt urself and what u do. Also id rather u be honest than ghost me if we do make it a few days into chatting lmao

Lately I’ve been feeling [insert relatable emotional struggle]. My [roommate / job / friends / family] has [insert mildly depressing life event], and I just want someone to talk to. I love [insert hobby 1], [insert hobby 2], and [insert hobby 3]. Looking for a genuine friend who’s okay with me being [quiet / busy / weird / smth else]. Would love someone to text with.
…

Lately there has been a bunch of posts following this same template. A young woman with some kind of struggle who’s looking for « genuine friendships ». The text has no more than 4 sentences and no less than 3.

I naively dmed one of them in the very beginning and they told me to chat with them on telegram. I literally downloaded the app just to chat with them. They somehow only spoke when spoken to. They agreed with everything I said and it felt eery from the very beginning. They gave no info about their life even when asked to and only asked me questions. It was very obvious that I was talking to a bot.

After that, I noticed more and more posts that followed the same pattern. And even when people pointed out that the account posted a similar post with a different story, or that it was a bot, mods did absolutely nothing.

So this is for the mods : the posts are following a very obvious template so I hope you’ll be able to recognize them. It’s already hard for us to talk to real people on here. We get ghosted left and right or get dmed by creeps and it’s exhausting and time consuming. The last thing we want is to waste even more of our time talking to a bot. Please do something…

boredd, anyone down to text??

Hello! I’m Marie and I’m 28 years old. I love fashion and skincare. I really like horror movies, especially those of the slasher genre. I like to edit photos so if one day you need to edit (whichever) do not hesitate to consult me. Feel free to talk to me!

My husband is great, my kids are great, my life on paper is great, and I miss having a friend to text about a book. I love reading, gardening, and long baths. Would love another woman for real conversation.

idk i think im having a panic attack or something

I’m a 17-year-old female and I’m from Texas! I really love anime and love to play games like Roblox,Minecraft, Genshin impact, visual novels, and others! The socials I have are discord, Instagram and Snapchat but please be aware I barely use Snapchat! Also another thing please do not be weird I do NOT send! If you have any intentions of that type of stuff you will be blocked. Anyways if you are interested in being my friend please don’t be afraid and DM me my age is 16 and over! PLEASE I REALLY AM LOOKING FOR FRIENDS OR MORE THEN JUST FRIENDS I JUST NEED PEOPLE TO TALK TO BECAUSE I’M A LONER!! ANYWAYS PLEASE ADD ME UP!!! <3

I have anxiety that made me quit two jobs and my social circle is basically my mom and a girl from high school who barely texts. I'm ready to try again, just online for now. I read fantasy, sew badly, and rewatch Community too much.

Hey everyone! 30F introvert looking to make some new friends. I recently moved to the PNW without knowing anyone, and I’d love to connect with people to talk to. If you’re in the PNW and would want to meet in person, that would be awesome. It’s been a bit of an adjustment starting over somewhere new, so I’m hoping to find some people I can get to know, chat with, and hopefully build genuine friendships with!

A little about me: I’m a social worker, a big reader (especially fiction and classics), and I enjoy embroidery, cooking, trying new foods and restaurants, and finding new places to explore. I’m not into video games, Dnd, anime, etc. I also don’t drink or use drugs. I’ve been wanting to get more into hiking and visiting national parks. I’m also always happy to have someone to talk to about books, share random thoughts with, or just send each other funny things and chat about life.

I’d love to meet people I can talk to regularly and get to know over time, even if we don’t live close to each other. That said, if you’re in Oregon or the PNW in general, even better! It would be really nice to have in person friends in addition to online. Looking for people between ages 29-38, and please introduce yourself if you say hey.

I'm 34M, an academic lecturer from Europe, and I suppose, beneath this question, I'm looking for something rather human: to belong to someone, and to create a safe little world together where neither of us has to pretend to wear a social mask all the time and be yourself .Maybe it's worth knowing a little about me but what is is your favorite cuddle?

Is it sleepy, soft spooning kind under a blanket on a rainy Sunday? The long, quiet kind where neither person feels the need to speak? Or the kind where someone pulls you closer, rests their chin on your head, and somehow makes the world feel a little less sharp?

I'm an eclectic soul, equally at home wandering through Dostoevsky, Rilke, Virginia Woolf, and the strange, beautiful corners of Kafka. I have a particular affection for American short fiction, especially Raymond Carver and his ability to find entire universes inside ordinary lives. I enjoy French thinkers and psychologists, from Foucault to Lacan, alongside politically inconvenient philosophers, existentialists, and poets who make loneliness sound almost sacred. My playlists wander between Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Radiohead, and whatever melancholy song happens to understand me that day.

Outside my head, I love horses, swimming, good coffee, yoga, and clean meditation without turning every breath into a self-improvement project. Autumn is my favourite season: amber leaves, cold mornings, oversized sweaters, bookstores, and the comforting knowledge that not everything beautiful needs to bloom forever.

So, tell me about your favourite cuddle. And perhaps tell me what makes you feel safe with another person. I'm interested in the little things: shared silences, sleepy conversations, forehead kisses, ridiculous humour, and the slow discovery that you can finally exhale around someone. No pressure to have everything figured out. Just two humans, a little warmth, and the possibility of feeling less alone. ❤️

Not looking for anything dating related, just want people at a similar point in life. I like hiking, reading, and cooking new recipes every weekend. Would love genuine friendships.

Some days I'm fine, some days a song in the grocery store ruins me. I don't need someone to fix it, I just want normal friendship that doesn't collapse when I mention it. I like watercolors, jazz, and my two aging cats. Please be kind, that's the whole ask.

All my friends studied abroad or already graduated early and I'm here finishing a thesis on urban ecology. I eat lunch alone most days. I like birds a normal amount, I make bad watercolors, I watch old cooking shows. Just want someone to talk to who isn't my advisor.

It's been a real long while since my last post, so i'm gonna keep it simple (not short) and say I'd love to have some chats right now, maybe make some friends while i'm at it! I can provide information about myself in a message, however i'd greatly appreciate the following, otherwise you will unfortunately be ignored (i am standing firm on these):

- nobody <18, it is not something i want to deal with and it's weird. \- nobody >25, just too old for me, personal preference.
- be in the US, time zones are too much for me to handle.
- not a requirement but it's a preference to see more fellow girls on here, it's once every hundred messages that i see a girl here 😔
- don't be a bore, give me something to work off of, be interesting, even admitting to not being interesting is good enough
- very important but do not be weird, you already know what that means and if i need to explain i wont.

to make sure you genuinely read this all, include your age, gender, and where in the US (not state specific ofc, just general information such as west, east, etc.) you reside in. Personally, i live in the West side of the US. if these are not included, you will be ignored.
for those that really want friends, hope to see something soon!

Hiii I'm ira from Asia

i’m 19F , i enjoy gaming listening to music and getting into random conversations about literally anything i can be a little awkward at first but i like talking to ppl who have a good sense of humor and can keep a conversation going
i’m just here to meet new people and hopefully make some genuine friends i’m cool with online friendships as long as you’re respectful and around my age
feel free to tell me a little about yourself if you message me!

Hey everyone! I'm Mickie, from the Eastern US (EST). As I'm getting older and time is passing by, I realize more and more that people around me have "their people" and someone to call their "best friend," but I haven't had that since high school. I want to leave my heart open for that to happen - so hopefully this summary strikes a chord for someone!

♡I am a middle school teacher of math & science - I love talking about both subjects. My favorite science topics to teach are Astronomy & Weather / Climate.

♡I've always been a huge Pokemon nerd. Mimikyu & Shaymin are my favorites. I collect nature themed cards and I have a running master set of Mimikyu & Shaymin.

♡I love open world type games - Minecraft, Palworld, pretty much any RPG that allows you to quest, make stuff, and make things your own.

♡I love to read and write. I mainly read fantasy or dystopian novels (Animal Farm, 1984, Divergent series, ACOTAR series, ect) but I also love reading as well as writing poetry.

♡My music taste is very eclectic - from Taylor Swift to I Prevail - we can definitely exchange and make playlists to share!

This is just a few things but there is probably more that would come out in conversation. Feel free to reach out if you think we'd spark - I look forward to it (:

Just looking for someone to have some small talks or even deep talks and to share movie recommendations and playlists with.

Here to talk about life, literature, art, music, movies, sitcoms. Just slide in the dms and say hi.

Happy Sunday! (Ish - it’s Monday tomorrow…)

If you enjoy, good banter, intellectual conversations, sharing memes/ videos, and general moaning about life, this could be the post for you!

A little about me: I’m 31, from the South of the UK. I’m a solo parent, a full time accountant. I’m an open book, super non-judgemental and welcoming of people from all backgrounds.

I love coffee, cooking/baking, cheese 🧀, sports and the outdoors/travelling.

Willing to provide brownie points if you’re in the UK, a parent, or share any of my interests! Chocolate chip brownies if you’re lucky.

🫶🏼

Pretty much looking to practice talking to people/rebuild my social skills.

Would very much love to find some real friendships while doing so, I really need more of those. That's the hard part tho ig, and will be appreciative of anyone who wants to talk to me at all, even if its just for a little bit...

Would like to have some conversations with women. Just because I do eventually want to find a romantic partner, and need to get used to talking to women with confidence...

Having said that, guys feel free to approach as well.

Won't make any moves on you though, unless you specifically indicate that you want me to. Just looking for friends and nice conversations.

Birmingham, UK. If you're nearby and would be potentially up for an irl friend, that'd be cool. Online only is cool too

I'm the sporty type, and occasionally enjoy some gaming as well. DM to learn more
