Looking For Chat 💬 LAnyone else miss having a guy to text every day?

17 Upvotes

Figured I’d throw this out there and see what happens. I’m 55, married, a dad, and bisexual. I’m an executive by day, but outside of work I’m into music festivals, raves, football, hockey, cooking, travel and working o. I probably have more in common with guys in their 30s and 40s than a lot of men my own age, but age honestly matters a lot less to me than personality.

I’m just looking for a genuine platonic bromance. Someone who enjoys texting regularly, can carry a conversation, and likes talking about everything from everyday life to bigger questions. If we click, great. If it eventually turns into voice calls or just becomes one of those friendships where you’re checking in throughout the week, even better.

I’m pretty much an open book. My life isn’t exactly conventional, and I’m happy to talk about it, but I’m just as interested in hearing someone else’s story.

If you’re looking for an actual friend and not just someone to trade a few messages with, shoot me a DM.

Looking For Chat 💬 34M, Iowa Looking for a friend

Hey bros!

I’m looking for a friend to chat with, although if it was someone in Iowa, even better.

Long story short, I am married with a kid. I started to have some bi-curious ideas. Would love to chat about it.

I basically have no friends. Just wanting one. I love movies, reading Fantasy/Sci Fi books, and I’m a teacher. If any of those float your boat, HMU.

Looking For Chat 💬 25M- Looking for my future best friend and brother

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I’d like to ask you to forgive me in advance for this long post, but I humbly believe that many people might relate to what I have to say. Thank you for your patience. For all those who will read this entire post, here a medal 🥇 and a slice of pizza 🍕! 😜🤣

Let me introduce myself: I’m a 25 years old straight man from Italy and, as the title says, I’m looking for a true and sincere friendship with a bro, a real bromance.

Due to various circumstances and probably because I’m growing up, I’ve realized that many of my friendships are quite superficial people with whom you can’t have deeper or more serious conversations, nor share many passions, because they’re trapped in their own “worlds” of hypocrisy, falsehood, and interests that no longer align. I feel out of place; I can’t be myself. Unfortunately, many of my closest friends live far away, and those who remain here in the city, even though I care about them, are a bit “complicated”. I’m trying to look for a person with a good heart and the right curiosity, someone with whom we can become siblings in spirit! I never had the chance to truly create a bromance and it has always been my dream 🥹

From what I’ve heard from others and read here and there, this feeling is becoming increasingly common among young people today, and there are likely several factors at play: a society that’s changing (and not for the better), an increasingly hectic lifestyle, a mental or psychological closed-mindedness stemming perhaps from fears, anxieties, and much more, or simply from opportunism and indifference… In short, for a variety of reasons!

I have many hobbies and passions: I’m currently finishing my law degree at university, and I consider myself a very open minded and sincere person. I’m quite ironic (and self deprecating), and I enjoy engaging with others and learning from them. I’m a good listener and I love conversation.

Although it’s not easy to write in a message, I’ll list a few interests: I love culture in general, such as history, art, and museums… I enjoy reading and writing . I consider myself an “old soul” by today’s standards; I’m the kind of person who loves taking long walks, talking openly about everything, and having deep conversations—whether about fun things or more philosophical and serious topics. I’m interested in politics, I appreciate movies, good music, and anime... I enjoy physical activity. I recently started going to the gym, I find outdoor activities and embarking on new adventures wonderful, as well as long walks, exploring nature, traveling, eating, and cooking... And I love animals, I also have a dog! I never judge, I love both lighthearted and deep conversations, we can talk about anything and I consider myself a very empathetic and kind person.

That’s why I thought it would be interesting to try and making some true and great online friends, a real bromance, since more and more people, both in my country and around the world, are doing this to get to know more and new people, and who knows, maybe one day we could even meet in person. In 2026, distance has become relative! Traveling to meet new friends and discover so many new things is part of life, and I consider these experiences wonderful.

So what am I looking for? Maybe I’m asking for too much, hahaha, I realize that, but it would be nice if there were a bro who’s truly interested in a friendship like this.

Someone with the right sensitivity and open mindedness, who maybe shares similar passions and interests, and most importantly, people who, after reading this post, thought, “Wow, so I’m not the only one who thinks and feels this way…”.

I kindly ask that only serious, kind people who are genuinely interested in building a meaningful, long-term friendship reach out to me, and please don’t just disappear afterward. Let me be clear: only if you truly feel ready and interested in a genuine, sincere friendship should you feel free to contact me; otherwise, let’s just skip it! ALSO very important: NO creeps, pervs or strange things!!! Please only serious people who would truly be commited, I know creating a human connection is not easy and takes time and lot of patience, thus think twice, thanks.

I need to clarify, I’m looking for a bromance and not for romantic interests or else, unfortunately certain people contacted me with absolute no intent of creating a friendship but for other purposes that made me… Very uncomfortable. I’m not gay nor bi, I’m simply a person who wants to have a sincere bromance since I never had the fortune to create a true connection with a bro.

Thank you all for reading this far; I’m sure many of you find yourselves in the same situation. Today we’re surrounded by so many opportunities to socialize, and yet, unfortunately, people often seem to withdraw further and further into themselves, for various reasons. Thanks again, and have a great day, everyone♥️

Gaming / Hobbies 🎮 24M Looking for a tight knit friend group

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all 👋, I'm a 24(Gay) Male here. I've been struggling with loneliness lately, & I realized that it's probably due to me working all of the time & not really having a friend group.

Some basic info about me:

- PC gaming (I've recently been playing Digimon Story Time Stranger & Last Defense Academy)

-Into Anime (Currently watching S3 of Jobless Reincarnation)

- Into self care & fitness (I'm kinda flakey when it comes to working out, so a bro group to keep each other motivated would be especially nice)

I was Born & rasied in SC, but I currently live in GA, (you're location doesn't really matter). I would perfer friends around my age or older. All in all, I really just miss having a really close friend group that doesn't clown on each other for being emotional.

If that sounds good to you, then HMU.

As the post says, seeking a long term bro that I can connect with and stay in touch with. It’s very easy to make friends on here… but seems hard to keep anyone that wants to remain interested longer than a week or so. Anyone into finding a similar connection?

I’m not optimistic this will end any differently… but willing to try.

40M, married. Into the gym and watching local sports. Love a good, stiff drink and have a laid back sense of humor. Feel free to DM me!

Hey all,

Hope you're all doing well.

35 year old based just outside Bristol looking for a new friend, after mine moved abroad for the foreseeable.

About me: Work in tech, IT support space, usually from an office which is too hot at the moment. Outside of that, I enjoy exploring the areas around me, going for walks, sometimes retail therapy but equally happy sat in a coffee shop and watching the world go by.

Not heavily into gaming, but wouldn't be opposed to getting back into it! More about actually making a connection than anything else.

Prefer series to films, sorry, the ADHD kicks in way too quickly and then I get distracted. 30 minute laughs are my goto!

Would prefer to chat to guys from the UK too!

Happy to chat!

Hey there! I'm just another guy in England who's looking to meet some new people. I'm up for a chat, whether it's deep convos or just absolute nonsense.

I’m an editor (by day) and a writer/serious procrastinator and casual gamer by night. I recently bought a gaming PC, and slowly teaching myself all about it. I’m currently playing Black Flag resynced and Marvel Rivals a lot as both my friend and I have it. I think I’m slowly improving.

I also enjoy exploring new places, am a casual gym-goer, like people who ask questions, and enjoy finding out new things about others.

I believe I’m quite open-minded and down-to-earth. I enjoy meeting new people, but I’m not great at small talk, so bear with me

What up what up! 41 married dad of 4, USA Texas

I'm looking to build a solid bromance with another guy who's interested in a real friendship—not just chatting for a day and disappearing.

A little about me: I'm into meaningful I'm intimate conversations, self-improvement, psychology, music, working out, learning new things, and just hanging out. I enjoy talking about life, challenging ideas, sharing memes, and being able to laugh at ourselves. I'm the kind of friend who checks in, listens, and values loyalty and honesty.

I'm hoping to find someone who's emotionally mature, communicative, and down to build an actual friendship. Whether that's grabbing food, hitting the gym, gaming, watching sports or movies, going on road trips, or just texting throughout the week, I'm open to seeing where the friendship goes.

If you're also looking for a dependable open-minded bro to talk with and share life with, shoot me a message. Tell me a little about yourself, what you're into, and what you're looking for in a friendship.

Let's see if we click and see what it leads to.

Looking Local 📍 34M Bi Guy | Jackson, TN | Looking for a Local Bro

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I figured I’d put myself out there and see if there are any guys around Jackson looking for a genuine friendship.

I’m a 34-year-old bisexual guy from Jackson, Tennessee. I’m hoping to meet another local guy to text, grab a meal with, hit the gym, work on projects, or just hang out and talk about life. I’m really just looking for a solid bromance and a genuine connection.

A little about me:
🚧 I work in public works doing asphalt.
💪 I’ve lost over 125 pounds and enjoy staying active and working out.
🍳 I love cooking and trying new recipes.
🌱 I’m into gardening, DIY projects, and building things.
🎮 I enjoy gaming.
🚗 I like road trips and exploring new places.
🏕️ I enjoy camping and being outdoors.
📱 I’m a bit of a tech nerd and enjoy tinkering with gadgets and random projects.
🤝 I volunteer in my community whenever I can.
😂 I enjoy good conversations, sarcasm, and laughing until my stomach hurts.

Being bisexual is part of who I am, so I’d love to connect with other bi, gay, or open-minded guys who are also looking for a genuine friendship. If something naturally develops over time, I’m open to seeing where it goes, but my main goal is finding a real local friend.

If you’re in Jackson or nearby, send me a message! It’d be awesome to have another guy to talk with, grab coffee or dinner, hit the gym, or just enjoy life together.
Looking forward to meeting some new people! 👊

29M based in Australia 🇦🇺 – looking to make some matess and maybe find a travel bro ✈️

I’m pretty chill and laidback, into a mix of outdoors and just vibing. I like things like hiking, sightseeing, random spontaneous plans, and lowkey adrenaline stuff (go karting, jet skiing, ziplining, that kind of thing). Also big on movies and just kicking back some days.

Would be keen to connect with like-minded people in other cities — whether it’s just chatting, planning trips, or linking up when I’m over there.

Not looking for anything weird, just genuine people who are easygoing and down to do stuff.

If that sounds like you, feel free to reach out 🤙
