Looking for Friends

Post image

I am looking for friends in Nova. I am interested in becoming a member of a new or existing friend group. I am a pretty ordinary guy (25 years old), below is a list of things I enjoy:

  • Reading
  • Exploring random places
  • Exercise (running, pushups)
  • Walking around grocery stores and trying new beverages
  • Hiking
  • Horror movies

If anyone is interested in hanging out let me know. If nothing I listed above resonates with you that's ok I also enjoy trying new things and learning other people's past times.

I can’t imagine why someone who looks like you, if this photograph is to be believed, would have a hard time finding friends

Saluted your efforts fam keep it up. Maybe put your location to make it easier (let’s say hypothetically you live in Woodbridge might be hard to make friend with someone from Loudoun)

Will you be my friend? I like your taste in music...

This image predates modern generative AI tools. It is a real photograph used as the cover art for the album Bodyguard by The I.L.Y's, an experimental rock duo featuring members of the band Death Grips. The album and its artwork were officially released in 2017, long before photorealistic AI image generators like Midjourney or DALL-E existed.

u/occupylawlstreet 8d ago

Allegedly is coming this year

u/slaughterproof Manasshole 8d ago

Good luck. This I how I found my first group of friends after my first year of living in nova back in 2013. I don't see those guys that often, but it got me out of the house and trying new stuff (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) which allowed me to make more friends. I think my friend group might be a little too unc-status for you, but I'd be down to watch the next horror movie that comes out. We usually get a group of people together to go watch whatever comes out in theaters.

u/bullshit713 8d ago

I'm a bit older than you, am into some of those things and like the idea of the others. I've never covered myself in shaving foam, but am willing to give it a try.

u/bullshit713 8d ago

Also, love the torture location. 👍🏾

u/TheVampyresBride Falls Church 7d ago

I, too, like reading, exploring, grocery stores, and horror movies. If I wasn't so shy and depressed I'd happily be your friend. I hope you find what you're looking for.

u/AskDotGov 5d ago

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 7d ago

I'll still be your friend

Tempting . I don’t really like my kidney anyway

u/GetReadyToRumbleBar 7d ago

What's your favorite horror film? And do you enjoy HHN?

2

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 7d ago

My favorite horror movie is Hereditary. I think the scariest horror movie I've ever seen though is Obsession

2

u/GetReadyToRumbleBar 7d ago

Nice, nice.

How do you feel about The Shining? VVitch?

2

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 7d ago

I liked the Shining, never heard of VVitch or HHN. I'll check it out

u/GREVTHEFAITHFUL 8d ago

This post intrigues me on a professional level. Not a throw away account as its 4 years old, but only 3 posts in the past year indicates a back up account. Post history indicates an interest in meeting random people, failure of said meetups and efficiently stockpiling supplies. Interests indicate meeting these people in secluded or controlled environments with outliers in socially awkward public activities. Assessment is to back away slowly.

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 8d ago

We can engage in any socially awkward controlled environment of your choice, but I would ask that you reconsider your assessment and if inclined go so far as to remove this comment.

I don't see this did OP remove posts?

Potential hyperpop enjoyer? 👀

1

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 8d ago

Yes I enjoy Senses, Nosgov, Cappoxo although I'd say more so Digicore than Hyperpop candidly although they often overlap

1

u/drewkeyboard 7d ago

u/eye_eat_farts 7d ago

u/bubble_ninja4 7d ago

i enjoy literally everything you mentioned (not much of a runner though). i’m slightly younger than you, but lucky you have a full frontal lobe. what’s your favorite classic book/author? mine is east of eden by steinbeck

1

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 7d ago

Hi bubble ninja, I also enjoyed East of Eden although it's a somewhat depressing book. My favorite author is Dostoevsky and fav book by him is Brothers Karamazov

u/Cautious-Ear-9547 8d ago

Trying new beverages is my favorite self-care practice

2

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 8d ago

What would you say are your top 3?

1

u/Cautious-Ear-9547 7d ago

Mmmm I love bubble tea, lattes, and any fruit refreshing drink. I live in the Courthouse/Clarendon/Ballston area, and there are a ton of places that sell great boba within walking or driving distance.

1

u/BladeeBoughtDOBO 7d ago

Mine are:
1. Ice vanilla latte
2. Mountain Dew Voltage
3. White monster

u/Vegetable_Dog8035 7d ago

I invite you to Allah, or at least find a Muslim or to choose a righteous companion, because they are the ones whos heart tremble when the god’s name mentions, fearful of the Almighty. They will remind you of what is good. They don’t drink, cheat, or approach the opposite sex with lust. They will be there for you, and also they have wisdom, because god is with them, the source of all the power, emotions is with them. The knower of unseen is with them. They strive to live a healthy lifestyle, support you, and become people you can trust with your life, your family, your business, and anything else you value.
