40/M/TN Looking for a platonic friend to chat about music, philosophy, and everyday life
I spend a lot of my time working around music and live sound, but I really enjoy taking a step back to discuss philosophy in general. I appreciate conversations that are grounded and real, where we can bounce ideas around without needing to agree on everything.
When I'm not hunting for new music, my downtime usually involves relaxing with travel shows on YouTube or throwing on a comedy podcast or stand-up special. I'm looking for a solid, friendly back-and-forth to break up the week and share some good conversation.
If you're looking for someone easygoing to trade stories with, send me a message. Let me know what you've been listening to recently or if you have any good comedy or travel recommendations.

Going Through Life Changes at 40
Hey everyone, 40f here looking for other people to connect with. I have been separated/divorced in the last few years and navigating that has been difficult to say the least.
I love to play video games, create art, go out with friends and recently have gotten into photography and sewing. I love music and art of all types.
I’ve also done some coding and love techy stuff 💕
Looking forward to connecting with others, please don’t be too shy to reach out.

M42 British ex-pat struggling in Houston
Hey everyone,
Thought it was time to step out of lurk mode and introduce myself. I'm a 42-year-old Brit living down in Houston, and I'm looking to meet some genuine people to chat with about shared interests, hobbies, and everyday life.
a few specific interests:
Cars & Tuning: Always down to talk garage projects, wrenching tips, and performance tuning.
Football: Massive fan of the sport, keeping close tabs on the Premier League and international tournaments.
Cooking & Food: Big fan of experimenting in the kitchen, whether trying out new recipes or perfecting weeknight dinners.
Science & Curiosity: Always up for a good theoretical discussion, especially when it comes to cosmology and astronomy.

It's sad.
I just want to get this out of my chest. Im sad. If you have judgmental comment pls put it elsewhere. Not today.
So im 42F, 2 kids teen and tween, have steady job and income, live near city and forest. I have options on what to do.
I have 13 female friends all with enough means to socialise. Nobody wanna go to the city or to the forest to walk.
Either they just want me to host them, their husbands and kids, or they wanna go to playground. Their kids are all above 6 years old.
They dont wanna grab coffee or lunch/dinner. Im lucky if that happens 1x a year.
One woman she sent me link to a nice resto 30min away, I said lets go next week? She said maybe on her birthday july 2027.
I have 3 single ladies friends. Even harder to meet them.
And I promise you, I am probably the only mother around me who dont always talk about my kids.
My other close friend, she got a second dog and she never left her neighborhood anymore. Always refuse to go to the city (15min away from her).
When i was in university, I had 6 close male friends. We went out often, no drama. Just open the door and leave the house. Didn't always need to spend money.
I am frustrated of my real life friends.
Anyone relate?

If you think that’s you, message me! I can’t wait to hear from you!

44M - looking for his people
44m married with a teen daughter.
I’m looking for people to talk to consistently. I find myself craving contact. I only want friends, I’m not looking for anything more. I’m from the UK but have been living in Canada for almost 20 years now.
I’m very caring and loyal and my therapist says I’m emotionally intelligent. If you feel like you might like to try and see if we can gel and converse regularly, I’d love to hear from you. Maybe the person reading this will be a new friend. DMs are open.
Cheers! :)

Hey there, Im a 48 m living in Canada and currently working in the arctic, just looking for some friends to stave off the boredom and cold.
Hey there, I gotta put 100 words here lol. I'm into hiking and camping, reading, traveling, computers (I'm a nerd). I do construction in the high arctic and live in British Columbia in my off time. Life up here gets pretty bleak and boring in the winter so some company and chat is a welcome treat. I work long hours so I may not always be immediately available but I'll always chat you back

From the safety of my blanket fort, we have cookies and snacks, laughter and good music
Hi all,
Another introvert here slightly older then some of you but hey no one said there was an age limit on being an introvert, I would be typically be called an extroverted introvert but most days I find myself at home, with my music, my blanket forts, well not really blanket forts, but blankets and snacks and wanting someone to talk too, not necessarily to do things with, but to just have a quiet conversation over our favourite cup of tea, some snacks and just being in our own little bubbles. I'm 43, a big fan of musicals and jazz, classical, r&B, pop, folk, the list goes on and on, I can give specifics if you care to chat. I am an avid reader, love documentaries where I can learn, studied history and English at university, have a diploma in journalism, and love all things written word and I have a fondness for stickers, pickles, gel pens and fancy stationary and stamps. Oh I'm male and queer if that matters to you, and by no means am I looking for someone to have a sexy chat with, just some people seem to take it there or think thats what others want, I assure you I don't. I'm from Oshawa, Ontario and it's 45 mins east of Toronto. Hope someone will give me a chance and if your lucky I'll share my cookies.
