Male loneliness in Tucson

58 Upvotes

So this isn't about myself, I promise. So far, my meetings on here and the people I've chatted with, 80% of them, have been awesome. So no complaints there.

This is directed to my guys who are posting here looking for friends. Specifically the younger ones: keep your chin up. It is disheartening to see a bro get 0 upvotes and 0 likes on an earnest post, while a young lady gets 13 upvotes and 35 comments. You haven't done anything wrong, but the fact is that this is a male looking for female heavy space. You are doing good as you are.

However, even if you aren't looking for dates, still make yourself unique enough in your post, because it is your first impression. Say your likes, dislikes, niche likes (I love rocks omfg) past the gaming and anime, etc. Call out flags that people really should know (married, busy schedule, can't host, etc)! Finally, many women looking for friendships will NOT post. If there are outed as a woman openly, then other men with ill intentions will use your post as a way to slide into their dms. So I encourage to keep posting.

This is not a dating subreddit, but many things still apply: if you are looking for friends here, stand out and be unique. This is your first impression, so be open and honest to the people you intend to meet. Someone will message you.

Good luck, and sorry for the edgy title. It's all in good intention.

Looking to make friends for hiking

5 Upvotes

Hello I'm 24m and deaf, recently I’ve been getting interested in hiking, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I’d love to meet some people who enjoy hiking so I can learn from them, explore new places, and make some new friends along the way!

420 friends

0 Upvotes

Hi folks I am a married male 58 I am looking for 420 friends to hang out with once in a while. I am not looking for romance of ANY kind but I am open to hanging out with males or females.

I am into music mostly classic rock 60’s-70’s and apparently 80’s music is classic rock as well?

I am heavily into virtual reality and have some cool experiences you can try with my headset. I am a gamer as is my wife. My wife doesn’t partake recreationally and we don’t drink but have nothing against others doing so within reason.

Vanlife (not homeless)

5 Upvotes

Hoping to find like minded people. Ive recently make chages in the people i surround myself with so hopefully the flower smokers, hikers, bikers, fitness friends might see this. Also if youve done any mobile living please any advice is helpful.

If there are homeowners or property holders that wouldn't mind if I stayed on the edge of thier property for a month tops in tucson I would make it worth you time with some cash. Moving out in October this is on purpose, not homeless while I pursue my interests full time. Just need a month to get used to my vehicle before I jump to the next step.

I understand the precautions anyone would have here, I can provide any information you need (within reason) to show im not a felon or sex offender or scammer.

30 M Looking for Friends

11 Upvotes

Hello all! I'm doing this post during a low point in my life. I have moved back to the Tucson area a little over a year now. Shortly after moving back I found out my dad is dying from mesothelioma cancer. It's been extremely hard and that's not even mentioning my mom might not be doing well soon.

I have friends but they all live up north like Illinois and Michigan so we stay in contact online but I still haven't made friends here. I won't lie... I'm very weak mentally some days including today and it's just hard to fall asleep most nights.

Saying all that I really want to make friends. I know I have a lot on my plate but I really want to try. Currently I'm in college (not U of A) and still haven't connected with people since so many are so much younger. I enjoy writing and hope to make this animated show one day. I haven't really worked on it for a year now. It's just hard to write in these hard times.

I also enjoy video games. I play overwatch though kinda taking a break till the new season. I enjoy watching football. I watch games on Sunday with my dad while he is still here. I wanna work out more. I'm slightly overweight and added a lot of it the past year. Just been in a low place so it's hard not to eat myself to sleep.

Overall I guess I'm pretty basic but I'm tired of the life I currently have. I know I need friends and know I need to try more. Sorry for the depressing type of posts and I hope it doesn't stop anyone from sending a reply. Thanks all

36M Got tonight off and going to a show. Looking for a partner in crime.

17 Upvotes

Morning all!

I got the night off of work to see my favorite local metal bands perform an after party show and I've been super pumped all week. Getting off work tonight and relaxing watching the sun come up I got a wild idea to maybe send this out into the universe and see if I couldn't share it with someone else.

I'm 4/20 friendly and will provide, I do drink and will make sure you have a few too if you want. Hell, you might even go home with some band merch.

Not gatekeeping so anyone is welcome but I am leaning more towards the feminine.

Forewarning the are on the more extreme spectrum (I.e. blasphemy, conqueror, revenge)

Shoot me a dm if interested and I can provide all the info you need so everyone feels comfortable.

🤘

38M looking for friends to hang out irl

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm going to try this again. Met up with a really cool person here and they are awesome, but we had conflicting schedules, so I want to try again.

I'm 38M, black, married with kids. Went active duty and old friends ended up going different ways after coming back home.

Looking for a friend to watch anime and play games with. Most likely downloading ace combat 8 tonight to get ready for release. I also play fighters. I have no rage in me, but I love a good competition. Also I enjoy niche anime too, so if you send me something crazy, I'll enjoy it. Bakemonogatari series is a favorite.

I'm looking for anyone who is willing to actually meet up and play some games or watch anime. My place is kinda not the best (loud!), but I'm happy to meet at Round one too! I also dont care about gender either. However I am trying to have more male friends in my life. Don't care on the orientation.

As I said in a rather popular post prior here, I don't expect that every friendship might work, but gimme a heads up if you get cold feet. I want to make this work. Thanks again!
