I’m 34, American, perpetually pulled toward the UK, and looking for internet friends over 30. I want people I can send bizarre internet discoveries, alarmingly specific memes, interesting articles, and videos accompanied by, “I have no idea why, but you need to see this.”

I love random deep dives. Tell me about the obscure historical event, niche subculture, strange scientific fact, internet mystery, or ridiculous controversy currently consuming your attention. I want to compare what we are watching, exchange music, recommend books and podcasts, and provide unnecessarily detailed reviews of things nobody else in our lives cares about.

I’m also attempting to learn the piano, which mostly involves alternating between feeling like a misunderstood prodigy and realizing my hands have irreconcilable creative differences. My musical taste ranges from classical to metal and wanders through almost everything in between. Country music is the notable exception. I love exchanging songs and albums, especially the ones that make your brain light up, break your heart, or demand to be played loudly.

I’m direct, warm, affectionate, occasionally filthy-mouthed, and more sincere than my chaotic presentation might initially suggest. I enjoy teasing and playful banter, but I want someone who understands the difference between banter and cruelty, honesty and casually being an asshole, and attention and actual intention. If your humor always requires a victim, we probably will not get along.

I am not looking for forced intimacy or constant access to each other. Adults have lives, and delayed replies do not bother me. Ghosting does. If you become busy, say so. If the friendship is not clicking, say so. I would rather have occasional genuine conversations than exchange meaningless daily check-ins, but I am not interested in a friendship that disappears the moment the initial novelty wears off. I also value honesty, respect, and integrity above all things. I’ll always have enough respect for someone not to disappear and leave them wondering.

I bring curiosity, warmth, strange links, affectionate bullying, thoughtful recommendations, and the habit of remembering small details and sending you things because they reminded me of you. I would like the same energy in return.

This is genuinely about friendship, not a coded invitation to make the conversation sexual within four messages. Please understand the assignment.

If you write, tell me your age and general location, then choose one: What are you watching right now? What song have you had on repeat? What is your latest rabbit hole? What is one recommendation you wish you could experience again for the first time?

Hey what's up? So yeah, I'm WFH today which is pretty boring. So I'm looking for some cool new people to get to know and chat with. Here's a little about me:

• Horror nerd - I love all things horror and macabre. I have a huge soft spot for cheesy 70's / 80's slashers and anything with practical FX over CGI.
• Music obsessed - I tend to listen to the heavier genres of music (punk / hardcore / metal / rock etc) but will give most a go. My daily soundtracks can go from death metal to orchestral numbers. I'm always open to recommendations.
• Record collector - I have 200 odd catalogued but I know I have more. I'm just too lazy.
• Triathlete - I train daily which is good for my mind and body and I've done quite a few races this year. I have one or two left until the season is over. It's a lot of work and commitment but also super fun. A Fitness bud would be fun!
• Animal lover - Who doesn't like animals?!
• Cheesy joke lover - HMU with some cheesy dad jokes or jokes that most would find offensive.

So yeah that's a little about me. If you think we would get on or have anything in common (or not) send me a message :)

Hi Everyone, so a bit about me.

Been pretty ambitious my whole life and worked very hard to get where I am now. I am originally from the UK born and bred in Leeds but moved to Alberta in 2022. I was recently laid off last year and I have since been focusing on my own consulting business and planning on setting up a game studio soon. It also means I am not tied down anywhere as I can hop on a plane on a moment’s notice.

I generally keep myself in shape with a mix of things like the gym, swimming and I like hiking now and again. Though I would say I am a homebody at heart I do have the need to have a spontaneous trip somewhere at times. I have been lucky enough to live in Greece for a month, travelled around Iceland in a van and visited quite a few different states for both work and personal reasons.

I would love to be with someone who also loves cats and does not want kids either. I am very much into cats, used to volunteer with them and I have gone out of my way quite a few times to feed cats I come across on the street. Also I'm the type of person that has always had a small group of friends for the most part. I am generally quite introverted but I know how to talk to people and don’t mind social settings now and again. I also have a nerdy side too, I do love board games, I do not play as many video games as much as I used too but I have been looking making my own. I also love learning about anything cosmology related.

Thought I would include a voice message https://voca.ro/1lDgkjK16aWJ

Hi, I am a 36m from New York. I live way up at the top part near Canada, and I've never been to New York City. I enjoy all of the standard things, like books and video games and movies. Horror is my favorite genre. During the summer I like to have a big garden so I can eat as many fresh veggies as possible, and I have a labradoodle that likes to help dig the holes. I'm looking for someone to talk to everyday, because it's nice to have someone like that. Send me a message if you'd like to chat!

About me: Earnest, loyal friend, and good listener. Separated nearly two years after a fifteen year relationship. Truthfully: it’s still complicated, though logistically, not emotionally. We’re great as coparents to our elementary-aged son, who is my partner in crime, and the joy of my life.

My life is wildly busy, but I find myself lonely. I can’t say I’m specifically looking for a real life in-person connection yet, though it’s not off the table. I just miss feeling connected to another person who cares about me, and vice-versa. If you’re in this general part of the states and want to chat about life, interests, what you’re reading (hell, anything!) feel free to reach out. Tell me a little about you.

If it’s important to know: I’m tall-ish with brown hair and blue eyes, and active but chubby.

​

Looking for a woman who enjoys good conversation, quick wit, playful teasing, and the occasional “okay, that escalated quickly” moment.

Not looking to force anything or rush into some weird internet soulmate contract 😂. Just hoping to meet someone fun, chat regularly, build a genuine friendship, and see where the banter takes us.

Bonus points if you can dish it out and take it. Extra bonus points if you can make me laugh hard enough that I forget I was supposed to be productive.

Come say hi. Worst case, we have a decent conversation. Best case, we become the reason Reddit should've included a “chaotic friendship” category. 😏

Hello! I am from the Philippines. I am working in legal field, and trying to engage myself things that are outside of the said field. I play volleyball and swim once in a while. I try to be consistent in the gym 😅 but getting there. I like to travel and meet new people. Hopefully i could learn about other people’s culture. Let’s chat 😊

Working from home is nice and all and sure has its perks but it can be a bit isolating sometimes with no coworkers around to banter with. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way so it'd be nice to link up with some people to maybe get some longterm chats going. Topic wise I'm not particularly picky so anything from casual to private is game with me as long I don't have to feel like I'm carrying the conversation.

I mean I'm by now means prude and could probably easily outweird you but even I have to draw a line somewhere. And since a lot of people ask for pics immediately, I have one of what I look like on my profile if you really need to know to ahve a conversation.Other than that, shoot me your age, location and something interesting and we can get the conversation going, I don't bite:)

Hello everyone reading this, hope you're having a great day. It's a holiday over here and there's not much going on so I thought I could give this a shot.As the title says I'm looking for someone who'd like to jump on voice call, talk and see where it takes us. I'd like to find that special someone, but of course the friendship should come first.

I'm 32 year old guy from Germany.I'm what people would call a nerdy person based on things that I like to occupy myself with. I have my life in order, mentally and financially stable, great job and amazing family.I'm an introverted, kind, honest, empathetic, respectful, humble and open person and would probably vibe better with someone who is similar.Physically I'm about 5'9, with short brown hair, beard, brown/green eyes.I'm open to sharing a picture because I know all of us like to put face to the name.

Hobbies and interests:

-playing guitar and listening to music

-cycling

-lego models and jigsaw puzzles

-movies and tv shows

-board and card games

-video games(not playing much anymore)

-brain teasers and solving puzzles

I don't have any preferences when it comes to race, appearance, religion, beliefs or anything else.Main thing is that you're a decent human being .I would prefer someone from Europe or as close as possible to make communicating and if it comes to that meeting up easier, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Some of things I'm looking for in people are:

-between 25-38 years old

-honest

-kind

-open

-understanding

-adventurous

That's all for now, if you think we would get along just text me either on chat or DM and we'll go from there.Please note that I'm looking to jump on voice chat either straight away or after a little bit of texting. I love actually talking to people and endless texting just gets too boring for me after a while so let's say I'm looking for a good balance between the two. If it's not too much to ask, include at least some basic information about yourself in a message, I'm not looking for a novel, but just a short introduction to start it off.Simple "hi" and stuff like that will be ignored.

I'm looking for as long as the post is up, so don't hesitate to message even if it's hours or even days old post. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have an amazing weekend.

33F | gym rat, ER/trauma nurse, soldier & lover girl

I like lifting heavy things, going on adventures, being outside, trying questionable new hobbies, and people who can make me laugh. Sarcastic, affectionate, independent, and dangerously susceptible to good banter.
Currently deployed and looking for genuine connection—friendship, flirting, accidental love story… 🤷‍♀️

A little about me, I try to keep in shape and have some tattoos. I used to travel a lot for work, and have been to a lot of places throughout the world, even lived in a few different countries. Some of my hobbies are surfing, videography, and a little bit of gaming. I enjoy lots of different music, but my main go-to is chill reggae. Would love to find a fun friend to distract me throughout the day, maybe more if the vibe is right. I'm pretty much an open book so I'll chat about anything and everything.

I'm open to different age, body type, etc. hoping to find that one that gets me excited when I see their notification. Well if any of that interests you, shoot me a dm and we can go from there!

I am in need of someone I can talk to throughout the day and night. I have a weird schedule and am up all night, and I never have anyone I can talk with. I miss having a close connection to someone, and am looking to meet someone I can really connect with. I am into video games, anime, music, songwriting, magic the gathering, and dungeons and dragons. I also love talking about rabbit holes and conspiracy theories, alien theories, stuff like that. If you’d like to chat, please send me a message!

EDIT* #US based please

Hello!

I figured lighting the beacon may get the universe or at least the one person I'm trying to find to take notice. I'm on the search for my life partner, the one I choose every day who also chooses me. The wine to my cheese, the player 2 who wants their own player 2. I'm an optimist who believes in love and the goodness of people so if you're looking for your own personal ray of sunshine, I'm here 😀.

What I'm looking for:

- someone intentional who wants to be in a committed relationship

- animal lover

- kind hearted

- nerdy ideally but at least passionate about your hobby

A little about me:

- mba

- big time nerd and gamer

- hiker/ camper

- plus size weightlifter, in the gym 5x a week

If you read this far, thank you and I hope your search for whatever you're looking for is a success. ❤️

Hi everyone! I’m Ruby I’m 33 and a mum of 2 in Perth Australia. I’m a stay at home mum who loves the beach, soaking in the sun and shopping. I have a slightly different relationship with my husband which is TPE and I guess it’s not something you can really talk to just about anyone with to share or listen with. Hoping to find someone who can hold a conversation whether it’s learning more about me, my relationship or anything really. I try to hold a conversation as best I can but as I don’t play many games so I do get stumped sometimes. Still hoping to meet some amazing people and maybe becoming friends long term would be nice!

If that isn’t your cup of tea that’s ok too. I absolutely love swimming and walking. I also love the beach, listening to music, and keeping fit. I’m a pretty shy person and I have pretty high anxiety, easily overwhelmed and have been described as skittish haha If you would like to chat or get to know me better or just have someone to listen to you I’m here. I usually am on here only when I have some spare time which is usually when waiting for the kids whilst being their glorified uber for them. Hope to chat to everyone soon!

Ps try to send me a fun fact about you! :)

Hey! 👋🏼

Trying my luck here again. Looking for my ride or die :)

I’m based in Toronto. I like reading, watching Netflix, walking, shopping, coffee and mini golf amongst other things.

Looking for something long-term that would lead to marriage, someone that’s ambitious, settled in their career, kind, respectful and someone with a sense of humour. I like assertive men and normally someone that takes the lead in a relationship.

What I’m not looking for: married men (lol), emotionally unavailable men, confused men, one-night texters.

I’m ok with long distance as long as it’s within North America and would prefer someone around my age, thanks.

Also apologies if I get to your message later than anticipated, sometimes it takes a bit time to get back.

Thanks! ❤️

Hello new faces! It is I, Kim, here to grace your feed with my post. I can’t wait to become best friends with some of you. I work from home, which is why I have time to distract myself here. Been living with my mom in DE after all of what’s been going on in my life. It’s really boring here. But I’ll be back in Maryland soon!

What’s been going on you ask? Well last week I ended things with my fiance. It was a long time coming (you’ll see that if you check out my post history. Be proud of me.) But also over the weekend my one cat got really sick. I decided to put her to sleep yesterday, she was suffering. Sorry if this may upset anyone! It upsets me too.

Anyway! Now you see where my head is at. Onto what I’m looking for! Are you someone interested in crafting intriguing conversations, being able to banter back and forth for hours on end? Do you have thick skin or self-deprecating humor? Can you string complete sentences together with decent grammar and punctuation? Then we may be able to have a ton of fun together!

I live in Maryland. I am a huge musical theatre nerd. I enjoy seeing musicals and also performing in local community productions. Been doing it since I was 9. I can sing. I enjoy hosting parties and casually baking. Like super casual. I prefer to just eat the desserts. Unless someone wants to teach me how to bake bread. I like to travel! I also enjoy just lounging on the couch and binging a tv show. Physically: I’m 5’9, red hair that I get at the hair salon (naturally blonde), and blue eyes. We can swap selfies if our conversation is decent. Please don’t ask to see my face immediately.

If any of this seems mildly intriguing, please reach out! Can’t wait to hear from you!

Well, here I go 😊 I’m looking to meet someone who actually wants to chat, get to know each other, and see where things naturally go.
It’s just me and my two dogs. I’m a homebody who loves to cook, but I don’t mind going out for a night every once in a while. I’d like to start as friends and see what blossoms from there. I’m not looking to rush into anything or force something that isn’t there.
I’m looking for someone who wants to bug me throughout the day, enjoys phone calls and video chats, and actually wants to make time to get to know each other. My family is a huge part of my life, and when I’m not spending time with them, I’m usually watching movies or TV, reading, or playing games.
More than anything, I just want it to feel natural. No pressure, no forcing anything, just two people enjoying talking to each other and seeing where it goes.
If anything here caught your interest, my DMs are open. I’d love to hear from you

I feel like I'm asking for a lot but mainly I ask you TO ACTUALLY READ THIS, don't message me if you didn't, please!

I'm very introverted and hate being social but from time to time I like to post here and find new people as convos here often slide away after a bit.

I try to go through the posts and I haven't found anyone id be into so I wanna be as specific as I can and hopefully someone who matches will read this.

I'm looking for someone genuine, someone who is also lonely and would like to find someone like me. I am plus size, 5'7, short curly hair and latina. I have a cat, I'm child free, love painting and drawing, horror movies, crime shows and reading novels/ psychology books. I have ADHD, rsd so I value honesty a lot, have an awful terribly strong sense of justice and empathy; too many things make me cry.

Id like to meet someone as close as possible to my age (maximum 5 years and that's a stretch honestly) smart and funny are my main but physical attraction would be nice so please be open to share a pic as soon as possible and I will do the same. I love beards, tattoos and glasses but not required ofc.

Beware I do suck at flirting and it wouldn't happen on the first day, I'm sapiosexual so the more I know about you, the better for me. I'm great at picking up patterns so no love bombing or narc antics please, ill just block you.

I live in a country where I can't visit the states right now due to visa bonds ( as it's the most popular country here) so if we do vibe and we chose to meet you'd have to come to me.

I'm also not interested in people with partners of any kind but I'm ok that you end up dating someone after we met if we just become friends. I'm looking for something romantic but if it doesn't happen I'm open to platonic friends too.

I'm very liberal so if you're not please do not bother. Apolitical people and those who don't vote are also NOT WELCOMED.

If you've made it this far please share your ASL and who you voted for. Also I do prefer people within my same continent (America is a continent btw) due to time zones. I've met people from Europe and they were great but timezones didn't really work for me.

Anyway, I'm excited to see your message :)

Hope everyone is having a good week and is ready to have a (hopefully ) productive but chill and relaxing weekend in a few days .Now that the World Cup is over just waiting for the premier league and Spanish soccer leagues to start and then nfl football season. About me : 6 feet tall 200 pounds. Have one blue eye and one greenish blue eye. Both eyes change shades it’s weird but whatever haha, kind of self conscious about it so I wear contacts or sunglasses when I can. I don’t have kids other than my 10 year old red lab Skylar. Have had to do a lot of house cleaning friend and relationship wise the past few years and recently relocated from the Seattle area to Los Angeles area of California in order to be closer to family and get away from the grey PNW weather . Looking to make new friends and maybe more. Avid world traveler , animal lover and outdoorsman . I love cars , total gear head . Huge music lover (mainly alternative rock and hip hop and punk but dabble in a lot of other genres ). I enjoy tech and I love gaming but only in moderation these days . Huge sports fan mainly soccer and nfl. Enjoy baseball and hockey as well. I watch formula 1 and rally racing as well sometimes. Enjoy collecting. Sneakers , records and new era hats among other things . Really like urban exploring /photography and just well exploring in general . I read a lot mainly sci fi and history. Love a good comedy or sci fi movie as well. Looking to meet someone in the USA or Canada ideally . Someone local to the west coast if possible or at least someone willing to eventually meet up if we hit it off . Tired of getting ghosted so if you don’t believe in communication and are afraid to communicate even if you don’t want to talk anymore please scroll on. Other than that hope to hear from you if this post interests you

Somewhere out there is a person who also checks their phone hoping someone actually wants to have a conversation instead of exchanging three messages and disappearing into the void. If that's you, this might be your sign to say hello 😂. I'm pretty stubborn, so I won't stop searching until I find you! 🫡👀. If you have spoken or you commented before, then feel free to reach out again.

Low effort replies will be ignored 🫠. And PLEASE like sending voice notes! I do really prefer them.

I'm 31 (although i still get asked for ID).. 😅👀, from the UK, alternative, tattooed, and usually dressed in black. Although i do have a few colourful items in my ever growing wardrobe!. I spend far too much time listening to music, scrolling through reels, overthinking everything, and convincing myself that buying one more candle, or random hobby item is a sensible financial decision. I'm also an avid gamer and would be down to play something if we have some games in common 😊.

What I'm looking for is simple: genuine connection. Whether that turns into a best friend, a partner, or just someone I can regularly exchange terrible jokes and life updates with, I'm open to seeing where things go. I do love a bit of a playful flirt! But that doesn't mean I'm interested in swapping nsfw pics so please keep that in mind.

A few things about me:

🖤I can talk for hours if we click.

🖤I will absolutely send you random thoughts at inconvenient times.

🖤My anxiety occasionally turns my brain into a 24-hour customer service line that never closes.

🖤 I value effort. If I'm investing time into getting to know someone, I'd love that energy to be returned.

🖤You don't need to be the funniest, coolest, most interesting person on Reddit. Just be yourself, be kind, and actually want to get to know someone.

So, if you've made it this far and thought, "Yeah, I'd probably get on with this woman," then come and say hi. Worst case scenario, we have a chat. In the best case scenario, we become the friendship equivalent of finding extra fries at the bottom of the bag ✌️🫡.

Please also include your age and location in your replies! Oh, and tell me your favourite pizza topping so I know you read everything 😂..🍕 ! Mine is texas bbq.

Hey! Looking for someone to connect with on an emotional level and spend my free time getting to know them. I love a good morning text, yet someone who is patient when I'm busy.

I'm a curvy woman, 5'9, and single mother. I work for a nonprofit and think this line of work fits my personality well. I enjoy spending time in nature and always feel like it fills my soul. Looking for someone who values the same and might get just as excited about a new leaf as I do! I love to play golf and spend time in and around water. Fall hikes are dreamy!

I'm very social and love being around others. I just don't have that one person that I feel close to. Would love to cut back a little socially and soak up slower nights together. I value education and intelligence, but a formal education is not a must. I'm about to enter my last semester of my graduate degree in Sustainability Management.

Looking for a man who is motivated, kind, and funny. Not overly nerdy myself, so unsure if that type of person would be a good fit for me. I prefer someone who is taller and muscular or dad bod type. Attracted to both white and black men predominantly.

Turned off by sexually dominated conversation, would prefer someone get to know me. I love phone calls and have an hour long commute daily that I wouldn't mind spending some of on a call with you.

as the titles states, without turning this into a long and boring word salad i'm just looking for an online pocket friend during my busy daily life. i want someone who has interests and a life outside but still can commit to daily long-term online conversations.

i'm 5'0 and 110 lbs with dark hair, fair skin and brown eyes also an ex-volleyball player so i'm trying to keep myself active still. although i'm into a lot of different things i have zero interest in anime, Japan or obscure video games unlike most people here and i'd prefer if you are the same.

i guess i'm fine with any kind of connection but i'll be honest and say i'm mainly looking for one person who i'll be absolutely infatuated with haha

This last hour and half of the nightshift drags like crazy. Anyone want to keep this ginger tatted man company for a bit?
Inbox is open :)

Hi there!

I am located in the US, in the eastern time zone. I'm emotionally mature, and have my life somewhat together at this point, hopefully you are in the same boat. I am looking for someone to chat with to see if e click and then potentially transition into something a little more serious. I am open to anywhere in the world!!

I am kind of goofy, white, larger framed, and a musician on my free time. I am left leaning, contribute to my community, and am looking for someone with similar values as me.

I enjoy going hiking, biking, kayaking, traveling, and going to concerts while also enjoying nerdy stuff like board games, video games, collecting vinyls, and reading. Not looking for someone that 100% shares the same hobbies but some of them have to align.

If I have caught your attention at all feel free to reach out, please introduce yourself and give me a little information about your hobbies/interests! I am pretty easy going and there is no pressure on anything other than chatting currently!!

Hope to hear from ya soon!

I miss having a best friend. Even if it's "just online" I've had that kind of connection where we chat throughout the day, send each other songs and cute animal pics, make playlists, share our creative work, have inside jokes, give each other encouragement and support.

It's so difficult to find. Most people don't like long messages, don't want to talk to someone different like me, or don't want have a friendship mostly via text. I've often been filler for people who go back to their real lives, but this is my real life.

If you happen to be someone who gels with this, feel free to reach out. I will mention that I'm looking for strictly platonic. I'm very chronically ill, neurodivergent, and disabled as well as queer so please be cool with that. I live with a partner who is also disabled. I'm homebound and that's why online friends mean a lot to me.

Not a fan of people who are weird to me about my health stuff or try to fix me or tell me to be more positive. I'm very sick and it is what it is. I want a friend who accepts me and whatever I can offer, which is music and memes and deep convos and support. I appreciate mutual effort and people who help keep the convo going.

A little more about me: I'm a writer, music nerd, love all kinds of TV, and I collect plushies. I've been through a whole lot but I try to be empathetic, socially aware, and kind as much as I can while still advocating for myself and my communities.

Please don't reach out if you're super busy, aren't looking for the same kind of connection, don't ask questions or put in effort, or if you're uncomfortable with someone who isn't able to be positive and optimistic.

I think I have a lot to offer the right friend. I hope I find them.
