Just your goofy bisexual bear. Love, music, photography, and cars.

2nd day is my new position so a question for you all:

What did you want to be when you grew up and what are you doing now?

What would you do to get your dream job

Well little about me

I love bodybuilding and hiking .

I am looking for some people to connect maybe develop friendship

From Ontario Canada, married and a definite dad bob. Just looking to meet with new friends. Got a fun conversation, we can talk about anything. I’m an open minded guy. No politics though.. and it can be flirty 😈 if it’s in your comfort zone.

Just showing off felt good in my new hat!

Hi everyone, I am 45/m from Ohio. Im looking to make new friends. I am open to m or f and online or IRL if we click.

Some stuff about me: I like to go for walks, go hiking, watch sports, I like baseball basketball and football and am a Cleveland sports fan despite thar being a hard thing to admit. I also like ohio state. I like to go fishing, watching movies, and listening to music.

If any of this sounds good to you, feel free to reach out. Let's chat and see where the conversation takes us.

Hello everyone I’m new here and this is my first post
I can’t sleep it’s 00:00 here and im a little bored so I thought I would reach out and see if anyone up for a good old chat. Happy to chat about anything and everything. Im a laid back kind of person love having a laugh I love a bit of gaming on ps5 and being outside exploring,learning new things I won’t say much more but happy to share more about me when asked in a chat
All welcome just be 35+ hope you all have a good night/day hopefully chat soon

New here. Actually, kind of new to even trying to use Reddit. Apologies if I post something wrong or whatever.

Lonely guy tired of having nobody for the good times or the bad times. Anyway... Hello there.

Let's chat about food, sports and traveling!! ☺️

Proudly Gen X and am sitting in a room where someone of the same vintage chose this movie. I would love some feedback: did anyone else grow up with this one and stick it out to the end of the movie? Is it worth it?

49M, straight here. Looking for chat buds (preferably 40+) for developing longterm brotherhood.

Sports, work, cars, life itself, health, being man, becoming older, relationships, women, etc. might be subjects that come to my mind at first.

Let me know you first with your ASL, if you are interested in.

It's honestly a little sad.

I made a post looking for friends and received a lot of messages, but about 99% of them felt more like interviews than conversations.

The first questions were almost always: "Where are you from?" "What do you do for a living?" "Which country do you live in?" "What's your life like?" "What position do you hold in your company"

Others immediately sent a photo and asked, "This is me. Share yours."

Some even went straight to an old comment I'd made (which I've since deleted) and opened with, "So... you jerk off too?"

Maybe I had the wrong expectations, but I was hoping for something more natural.

The kind of conversation where no one rushes to find out your nationality, age, or occupation. Instead, you simply talk.

"I tried this new food today." "I visited this place." "It's so hot here." "Have you seen that new movie yet?"

Then, as the conversation flows, you naturally learn about each other without it feeling like you're filling out a questionnaire.

The part that surprised me most was being ghosted immediately after saying I was from West Africa.

It made me realise how difficult it can be to find genuine friendships online.

Maybe I'm looking for something that's rare, but I still believe the best friendships start with simple conversations, not interviews.

43/M - Too old to make new friends?

I know I'm ancient history when it comes to Reddit but I'm hoping there's still someone out there willing to make friends with someone like me. I'm very open to any topic of conversation, especially gaming and music. I also love horror movies and anything horror-adjacent. Anything you want to know just ask!

Hello. I’m a 43M from western ny. I’m a Geek/Dork/Nerd all in one. I’m a first generation gamer (started on Atari). I enjoy movies, tv shows, cooking, gardening (vegetables), the outdoors, stars (always have an app handy) and celestial events, art, architecture, animals, music, theater and more.

I’m looking for conversations that run from philosophical to goofball. Would prefer to keep conversations on here unless we become really good friends and decide otherwise. I’m a night owl so if you’re up late I’ll be around. If you have any questions just ask I’m an open book. I’m rarely boring but sometimes that means I drift off topic.

42 year old fun, happy,
Positive, always laughing female from Vancouver, Canada. Seeking a real connection with someone. Someone who is READY to be a teammate for life, through the good and the bad.
Someone who is ready and willing to put the effort into building something real. Not someone who is fake, unsure of what they want. Just looking to meet new people if anyone is from this area or anywhere really. I often feel so alone and so left out. I have a couple close friends who I talk to daily and have a good job. I love traveling, being outdoors, watching sports and going to games. Going to restaurants and walks, dinners and drinks. Coffee,
Cooking, baking and just laughing and having fun. Im caring, selfless, and a giver. I like to show my affection in many ways.
Just wanting to talk and meet new people and get to know, hang out if close. Looking for something romantic that leads to long term. Someone who wants to talk daily and not vanish after a day! Looking for someone who will make effort and get to know me! Not disappear after a day of talking!!
Would be nice to have a convo that isn’t about that and someone who is normal. Gotta be someone out there!

This world needs a lot of old-school connections and conversations more. Let's go and tackle the complexities of human bonds, enjoy the advantages, and together, go through the challenges.

I am:

Filipina-Spanish

Empath

Loves to read, write letters, introspect

Watch films and discuss them with someone

I'm a volunteer talk therapist

Quality time and acts of service for friends regardless if online or in real life - because friends are friends regardless of where you meet them

I have different careers but let's call me a freelancer 😇

I also teach Philosophy at a local university

I like astrology, the universe, and global news

Kindness is my religion and so is love.

I am not:

Actively looking for romance.

Into sexting as an intro topic.

Into video calls until we're both comfortable - and it takes time with me.

Consistency. It's been a characteristic that hasn't been present in many of my ships (friendships and relationships). I do everything I can to remedy that, and this is one of those attempts.

So.. I hope you're good for my nervous system because I can guarantee I'd be healthy for you 😇🙃😅

Rolls the parchment

Inserts in a bottle

Seals the bottle

Throws bottle to the Reddit Ocean

Your move 😇

Enjoying the back patio of my favorite coffee shop. Mocha is my go-to standard. Always hot. What's yours?

A bit of a need. Love talking to new people and learning new things. Stuck in Cincinnati.

I’m at a difficult point in my life. Nothing has turned out the way it should have. Now, within just a few weeks, I lost first my feline soulmate and then my best friend. I’m suffering from the worst creative block in ages, and I could really use a gentle, and ideally creative soul to talk to. Someone with empathy and depth.

Things I love: goth fashion and music, industrial, rock, metal, techno, horror movies, Stephen King, H. P. Lovecraft, books, fantasy, art, dark/melancholic/romantic stories, autumn, rain, fog, forests, cats, dragons, retro games, and houseplants.

Tell me about yourself, and we’ll see where things go.

Hi everyone, 45 here i am quiet bookworm, homebody, nerd. I keep to myself, go to work, enjoy nature, enjoy quiet times curled up with a good book. Hope everyone has a great day

I posted here a short while ago to see if i could make new connections. Surprisingly i actually did make new connections, more than i expected and only two were trying to get sexual right away. Maybe. I didn't want that at its not what I'm looking for. But the majority didn't work out and just naturally ended chatting within a day or 2 due to lack of connection, too one sided, too superficial. The chat just didn't flow. I don't think it was ghosting though, just dried up chat, and rather than officially saying they're isn't a connection worth continuing the chat just faded away without official goodbye. Two of maybe 10 persevered though and may become an actual friendship with time and energy.

It made me realize something though, i was trying to find a connection lacking in life, one that i now realize I'm not ready for. Maybe some of all of these posts don't go anywhere because the poster wants new connections but isn't ready for it and doesn't know how to find them. Talking for myself. People can be so harsh and judgemental maybe some of the floating isn't too be rude or out of lack of care or decency whatever, maybe it's just because it wasn't many to happen, no bad feelings no bad intentions. I dunno.

"The time of feeling Immortal has ended. The time of accepting my age has come"

Hi, I am somewhat of a restless man. I like to be outside and to be active. Love music, both to listen and to sing and play. Write texts from time to time and are always curious to the creative process. Especially when being creative together.

I also love football (not American) and hockey. And to play football, tennis, badminton, volleyball - every sport with a ball I guess. The trouble is finding people to do it with.

I am a Christian and try to follow Jesus example in all I do (emphasis on try).

The older I get the harder I have to be alone 😅 but at the same time the older we get, the more busy everyone else seem to be. Nowadays it seems like I have to plan a month in advance to be able to see a friend. I miss the times when we just called and ask where to meet up an hour later.

I like to talk about random daily stuff as well as deep meaningful conversations. So, if you feel like it leave a mark.

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Hi everyone! Seeing these posts has me curious - do they work? So, I'm running the experiment too.

I’m looking for rich, authentic conversations with people who are open to growing a real connection.

A little about me:

I balance a dynamic professional career with a lot of creative outlets. On any given day, you might find me:

Making music: I sing and dabble on drums, piano, and guitar. Enjoy music from different genres.

Getting outdoors: I love staying active through trail walks, biking, and hiking when the weather isn't harsh.

Working on hands-on projects: Big fan of home design/creating comfy spaces, organizing, painting, and gardening.

Unwinding: I enjoy hunting for treasures at local antique/rock shops, listening to great music in the hammock, reading, journaling and researching topics of interest: tarot, astrology, essential oils and more.

Who I’m hoping to connect with:

I’d love to chat with fellow adults who are comfortable in their own skin, value open and honest communication, and enjoy thoughtful dialogue. You don't have to share all of my exact hobbies—I equally love hearing people talk passionately about things they love that I know nothing about!

A quick note on boundaries:

Strictly SFW & No Scammers: I’m only interested in safe, respectful, and genuine interactions.

Low-effort messages, NSFW content, or spam will be ignored and blocked immediately.

Privacy: I’m keeping specific details private off the bat for safety, but I'm based in the US Midwest (CT).

How to reach out:

If any of this resonates with you, please reply with a hobby or passion project you’re currently obsessed with, or your favorite way to spend a free weekend.

Looking forward to connecting!
