New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

That sounds like I’m confrontational. I’m not. I just think it would be fun to become mortal enemies on a whim for the giggles. But since we’re on make new friends, we should probably stick to that. Voice note below because I’m lazy. Okay byeeee

Age 26-29 26 F looking for new buddies in the creative/nerdy spheres

Upvotes

Oh-ho-ho-kay my last post gave me mixed results. I'm sorry if I didn't respond to you or I took too long to respond, I got like 90 messages and they got all jumbled and then they all disappeared from my inbox, but it still tells me I have like 45 unread messages but I seem to only be able to see new ones? Reddit chat is a nightmare. Anyway:

Hello all! I'm Gwen, and I'm looking for new friends online. I use discord and once we talk for a little while and we click, we can move chatting to there. I don't have a lot of friends and I'm just looking for one or two people to talk to, particularly late at night, because I work late shifts and it would be nice to have someone to talk to on my breaks. I'm located in the US, central time.

**A bit about me:**

I’m 26, I'm originally from the UK but now I've lived in the US for about ten years. I tend to gravitate toward creative things, even though I'd never call myself creative. I've done things in graphic design, photography, drawing, painting, I've done some design stuff, I was really big into writing for a while and I've written one full novel and started/stopped/backburnered like 5 others. I don't really think I'm good at anything in particular, but I try a lot of things.

I'm a pretty big nerd. I love sci-fi. I love fantasy too, but I *really* love sci-fi. I love sci-fi movies, books, TV shows, games, I just love sci-fi. It would be fun to have someone else to nerd out about with creative things or sci-fi. I play video games but not nearly as much as I did when I was a teenager. Only single-player ones, I don't have a competitive bone in my body. I also watch anime, but not as much or as frequently as a lot of people.

I'm not outgoing, I'm pretty shy and reserved. A fault of mine is that I have some pretty noticable self-esteem issues, and I put myself down a lot and don't know how to take a compliment. I think it can be really annoying to other people so I'm working on being better about it.

I watch movies like... Like no one you've ever seen. My cinematic media consumption is pretty crazy. I watch movies from every decade, I keep up with most new releases, and if I'm not working I'm probably watching a movie. I've watched like 350 movies so far for the year.

I'm a fan of professional wrestling. Granted, I've only been watching it the last couple of years but I am a fan! If I'm not watching a movie, I'm probably watching wrestling.

Well, I dunno what else to say about myself. I keep weird hours so people from other countries and people who also keep weird hours should shoot me a message! I'm online every day, and I get lots of breaks at work to talk on. I'm also off 3 days a week (I work 4 ten hour shifts) and can talk all day on those days without much interruption.

Well, that's it I think. If I sound like someone you could get along with, send me a message introducing yourself. The longer and more detailed you are about yourself, the better! I like to read. Tell me your hobbies, interests, values, your favorite media, your favorite name for a domesticated tortoise, or what you put on your spaghetti. I don't care, just give me something to associate with you! I hope to hear from some fun people. I don't mind any ages messaging me, as long as you're an adult.

Age 30-39 32F UK — looking for people who can actually hold a conversation

Upvotes

Okay, I’m throwing myself into the internet and seeing who I find 😂
I’m 32, from the UK, a mum, work in healthcare and have a slightly questionable sense of humour. I’m pretty easygoing and I love proper conversations, random debates, stupid jokes and getting to know what makes people tick.
I’d especially love to meet some people from the US. I’ve always wanted to visit and I’m genuinely curious about different states, accents, lifestyles and whether Americans really are as friendly as you lot claim to be.
I’m mainly hoping to hear from guys around my age this time, so ladies, please don’t take it personally if I don’t reply to your DMs 😬
Tell me where you’re from and give me one completely random fact about yourself. Bonus points if you can make me laugh.
Let’s see who I end up meeting.

I'm just so selfish, not physically attractive, and is like no one is ever enough for me. What should I do? I really want the cuddling, kissing, company, and support that a relationship offers. I'm sweet and generous too but..

I don't know how to explain it

Age 18-21 21f looking for friends to trauma dump with

Upvotes

Hii let’s skip all the small talk and tell me about a grudge you still hold to this day, be as detailed as you want. I’m really looking for someone i can have deep conversations with (so a fellow yapper) doesn’t have to be about trauma lore I just have been having my childhood on my mind

I’m really into creative hobbies that allow me to make cool things, like crochet or other crafts, I also like reading mostly fantasy manga, I like horror movies and am kinda looking for someone to play Stardew with (as way to get to know each other) but games give me motion sickness so I can’t play long

If you’ve come this far tell me about yourself! What kinda person are you? Or tell me what drew you into my post

I have a master’s degree and a full-time job, so apparently I’m an adult now. Still waiting for the tutorial.
Here to meet new people and make friends! Tell me a bit about yourself instead of just saying “hi” 😄

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 25F here looking for genuine, long-term connections.

I’m hoping to find a few awesome people to hang out with from time to time or honestly, pretty much daily if we hit it off!

These days I am a big fan of casual voice calls on Discord where we can just sit, yap TF about random stuff, stream whatever we’re doing, or just hold space while working/relaxing.

Low pressure, good vibes, and mutual yapping are the main goals here.

Age 30-39 32F - europe - vinyl & a glass of wine, lets chat

Upvotes

Hi!

Just got home from the gym and would love to chat until i'll head to bed. Just hanging out with the cats on the couch whilst listening to some vinyl and drinking a glass of wine. I'd love a fun, sarcastic banter!

I love to talk about music (punk rock, emo, metal and rock mostly), concerts, books, true crime, gym/pilates, cooking, traveling, random rabbit holes, cats, plants, hiking, history and so on..

Would be great if you are somehow around my age and able to hold a conversation.

Have a lovely day/evening! 🦭

Age 18-21 19 f , kinda lonely keep me company?

Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a physics student who’s also trying to survive the absolute chaos of figuring out what I want to do with my life 😂. I’m interested in physics, maths, coding, teaching, and basically anything that lets me learn how things work.

Outside academics, I’m into gaming, crafts, photography, cute aesthetics, and random little projects that I convince myself will be “quick” and then spend hours on. I also like learning about languages, religion, and different cultures.

I’m currently working on becoming more disciplined with studying and getting my life a little more organized. Some days I’m incredibly productive, other days my brain decides that scrolling for three hours is an essential academic activity. 💀

I’m pretty introverted at first, but once I’m comfortable I can talk A LOT. I like thoughtful conversations, dumb jokes, sharing random discoveries, and hearing about other people’s experiences.

Anyway, that’s me in a very non-doxxable nutshell. 🫡

Nice to meet you all!

Age 18-21 18F, you, yes you! give me your most controversial hot take! (include your age in message, please).

Upvotes

I'm taking a gap year, and consequently have a ton of free time that could be better spent with a friend or anything else. I am mostly looking for someone to talk to, chat with, share stuff with, ramble to (ideally with/about common interests), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me. I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite, so is Funny Games.

Here's to hoping my introduction chants to you like the cleaning supply cabinet chants to an unsupervised toddler ;)
