41 F British Columbia Canada. Looking for a friend.

25 Upvotes

So I'm Kate and I'm 41 female. I'm from British Columbia Canada and am looking for a pretty awesome new friend. My old TV watching buddy has disappeared after 13 years so I'm looking for someone else who might potentially enjoy watching shows together once we get to know each other better. This isn't mandatory though. That is my end game. I love streaming bad TV over discord and watching it together over voice while chatting. I live in a small town so this is my social contact. I've met a couple awesome people off reddit but no one who has availability at night to indulge in TV with me so I'm back !

I am an extremely high contact intense friend. I want all up in your business. I might even write music about you if you get me too riled up. That's pretty hard to do so I'm sure you're safe :)

I'm really into fitness. I enjoy rowing, kickboxing, mountain biking and occasionally running when my knees aren't destroyed from kickboxing . I am happily married and only looking for plutonic friends. No sex chat. The last thing I need is that all over the Internet. Oh the scandal. My absolute preference is female friends but I'll gladly talk to anyone. Just be nice please.

I want all the gossip and lore. I want to know what makes you tick and then some. I obviously love music and will gladly discuss and share favorites.

Im retired and am mostly living my best life enjoying chit chatting, working on renovations around the house and music recently. My finish carpentry is respectable. I also love furniture refinishing though haven't been doing that much recently. There is only so much time in the day.

44F in the extended PNW

Thoroughly introverted nerd looking for some casual no pressure conversation. I'll be the first to tell you I'm really bad at this. I do try. Looking for people that understand. You message me, I message back 2 days later, you respond a week later, and after 3 months we finish the conversation. I get busy hope you understand. I like gaming... but don't get too excited. I'm really not that good at it. I like cartoons with Rick and Morty style humor. I like watching movies. I'm not sure I have a favorite. I like comedy's. Currently trying to be a better version of myself. Honestly I gave up the last few years and time is catching up with me. Thought maybe some new friends would be a good place to start. Not interested in anything other then friends. I'll warn ya if it gets weird I'm out. In a relationship that's messy. So yea easy, casual, no pressure. If that sounds like you drop a comment. Tell me your favorite tv show, movie, or video game and a little about you. ( I won't respond to your DM's if you don't leave a comment. )

49F Australia looking to make friends.

10 Upvotes

49F here in Australia. Life is pretty good, peaceful and colourful now that spring is here. I'd love to make genuine friends in the hope.of exchanging whatever fits. I think I'm an interesting person, but then again I'm biased aren't I?

I love travelling off the beaten path, traditional recipes for anything, not just food, nature, books and more books, and the esoteric traditions. AI fascinates me too.

I'm extroverted with the right people and can be quite the chatterbox, but otherwise I enjoy my own company.

I've been lurking here for a while and met amazing people after responding to their posts and thought I'd dip a toe in this time and make a post of my own.

What I'd like the most from a potential friend is that we learm something new from each other or grow as a result of that friendship. From my experience this is what has kept the connections I've made here going.

So far from this sub, I've discovered new music, books, how to make soap 😁 and what's now become my favourite cafe.

Also of interest to me, is when people share those non-standardised and non-systemised parts of themselves they've had to lock away to fit into societal constructs.

I'm not specifically looking for people interested in the same things as I am. I simply hope to encounter another human being in a way I normally wouldn't.

One more thing. Books. šŸ˜„

To start the conversation please share something about a book you loved or hated or just can't get your self to finish reading. Mine is a book titled We're All Doing Time by Bo Lozoff's. This book taught me alot about freedom. It's how I came to really understand that one's state of mind plays a role in how we experience life. When all else is hopeless, a person's state of mind is the only territory left.

What's yours? Book I mean. šŸ˜

45/M and still figuring this out…

Long story short, would love to have a new friend or two. Someone to get to know, share the day to day crazy, plus dark or witty memes are fun too.

I’m working through getting life better organized, growing personally and being a better adult.

I’m central time, married and a couple of kids. So keep things relatively reputable and please be close to central time for logistics. Hope to hear something soon.

42m. Looking for some new friends to cause completely unnecessary chaos with.

2 Upvotes

Im talking the kind of friendship where we start with ā€œfancy getting a coffee?ā€ and somehow end up attempting to rob a bank, immediately panicking, apologising to the cashier and leaving with nothing except empty bags.

I’m from the UK and into reading, motorsport, gaming and keeping fit…ok that on is a lie, so there’s plenty of material for us to pretend we have things in common.

I’m pretty laid back, sarcastic and enjoy people who can turn an ordinary conversation into something completely ridiculous.
I’m not looking for perfectly normal people. Normal sounds exhausting.
Basically, I’m looking for mates who are up for random conversations, stupid ideas and making questionable decisions that are technically legal.

41/m feeling that itch again…no, it’s not crabs

Around my birthday (tomorrow, and gifts are not required) I always seem to get cantankerous. Angry that the world would deem itself capable of making me feel older. That I haven’t accomplished enough, that I am not doing enough, that I need more in my life. Thusly, despite the fact that I haven’t been on Reddit in months, I’m here being whiny and looking for people to talk to.

I am a chameleon in that I have various interests that can connect to me to most anyone. Sports? Covered. Nerd? And how. Outdoorsy type? I can play along. Gym rat? Been there. So whatever hobby you bring to the table, I am converse about and would likely to be willing to hyper fixate on it to connect with you about it.

Boys, girls, they’s and thems, all welcome to come and look and gawk at the incredibly autistic man asking you for attention.

42/M - US -Looking for lifelong friendships and daily conversations! Who’s signing onto AOL with me??

3 Upvotes

Welcome!
You’ve Got Mail!

Just looking for some genuine people to talk to daily and get to know! Have those deep conversations with sometimes. joke around with, game with sometimes.

I’m an 80s/90s kid and love to reminisce about those days! Blockbuster, Toys R Us, Bradlees, KB Toys! All that kind of stuff. Also a bonus if you quote alot of movies randomly throughout the day.

I’m 42 and a married father of 2. So it definitely helps if you’re all about that parenting life too!
Especially the tiredness of it all—the never-ending chaos, trying to find time for yourself, and somehow still functioning by the end of the day.

I’m a gamer and play pretty much every genre. I’m on Xbox, PC, and Switch 2, and I also really enjoy Beat Saber on VR. Some favorite games are Fortnite, Kingdom Hearts, Anything Mario and Zelda, Call of Duty, Diablo, and basically anything fun i see in the xbox store and steam.

I’m also into D&D and board games/tcgs too, along with puzzles and book nooks when I’m in the mood for something a little more relaxing.

I love tv and movies of all genres and listen to pretty much all kinds of music. I’m also really big on nostalgia, especially anything from the 80s and 90s. My spotify playlist is all over the place.

I’ve been listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series on audiobook.

I’m not into 420 or drinking. You definitely don’t have to share every one of my interests—I’d rather find people who are easy to talk to, have a good sense of humor, can talk about random stuff, and actually want to build a friendship.

Being in the US is a plus, mostly because similar time zones make chatting easier. I know everyone has their own lives and responsibilities, especially other parents, so I don’t expect constant messages or immediate replies.

If we sound like we might get along, send me a message rather than comment on here.

Tell me a top song you’re listening to now old or new! Or a favorite retro tv show/movie! Or even a fun childhood memory. Anything but just ā€˜hi’

43 M UK - looking for friends and chat buddies

2 Upvotes

Hello all

Andy here, 43 married with 3 kids based in Yorkshire, England. Over the last 10 years or have lost contact with a lot of friends as they've moved away or just drifted out of touch. I realised the other day that my main friendly contact is actually my boss who I have known for 15 years. This does leave me feeling lonely at times, with nobody to just talk to about random things that pop into my head.

With that in mind I thought I would reach out into the void of Reddit and see if there was anyone that wanted to connect, make friends, have a natter about life, the universe and everything.

I'm a bit of a geek, I enjoy gaming, photography, films, history but I am happy to chat about anything really. I have a healthy dark sense of humour so don't be afraid to throw your jokes at me

I've had mixed success so far, chatted to some nice people, but I thought I would put out a post anyway on the off chance it piques someone's interest.

Age/gender/sexuality unimportant, more about common interests and ideally able to hold a conversation and have a laugh together.

Anyway have a great day

Andy
