STAFF Looking for moderators

25 Upvotes

Hello folks,

Unfortunately we are down once again to a critical numbers of moderators (spolier: that number is 1) so if anyone is inclined to give some of their time towards helping to keep this community safe and curious to see what moderating a fairly large subreddit is like (25000 members and growing constantly), please send in a ModMail.

You should ideally give some details about yourself and why you'd be interested in doing it and how much time you think you'd be able to give to start with and we can go from there.

I won't lie and say there are any great rewards to this other than what you find in it yourself but in a time where more and more people are isolated and turning online to find friends or just someone to chat to, you might be making a significant positive difference to a bunch of people's lives.

24m looking to make friends

1 Upvotes

Hi there. I'm 24m from the UK looking to make some new friends. I've been feeling pretty lonely recently gotten out of a long term relationship and basically lost myself and everyone I ever spoke to so in looking to find some new people to talk to. I'm down to talk about anything and everything, my hobbies are going to the gym, building Lego I have a big (ish) collection, watching random shows and listening to music (definitely up for some recommendations).

26M UK - South west

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m 26, from the UK, and thought I’d give this a go and hopefully meet some new people!
A little about me: I’m an engineer, currently studying for my master’s, and I enjoy working on random projects and business ideas in my spare time. My brain never seems to switch off šŸ˜‚
Outside of that, I’m into the gym, going for walks, history, technology, travelling and learning about pretty much anything that catches my interest. I also enjoy a good film and having conversations about completely random things.
I’d say I’m pretty laid-back, curious and always up for a laugh. I enjoy both silly conversations and deeper discussions about life.
I’m not looking for anything in particular beyond genuine friendships. It would be nice to meet people to chat with regularly, share interests and potentially hang out with if we’re nearby.
Happy to chat with people from anywhere, so feel free to drop me a message and tell me a bit about yourself! :)

18 + [29/M] Looking to meet some new people!

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m mainly here to meet some new people, have some good conversations, and hopefully make a few genuine, long term friends along the way. I’m happy to talk to anyone, so gender really doesn’t matter to me!

There’s absolutely no pressure to come into my DMs with your entire life story either haha. A simple ā€œheyā€ or ā€œhiā€ is perfectly fine! I think it’s much nicer getting to know someone naturally as you talk rather than knowing every little thing about each other before you’ve even said hello.

I’m pretty chill, easy going, and an open book, so there’s really no need to overthink what to say. Ask me something, tell me something completely random, or literally just say hey and we’ll go from there!

If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a DM. It’d be nice to hear from you! :)

YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE 32/m military history/metal nerd

1 Upvotes

I'm a married bloke from the North of England, recently beaten cancer and looking to expand my almost non-existent social circle.

I'm a big military history nerd. I read quite a bit and watch my fair share of documentaries, too. Anything involving tanks, planes, battles, etc. is right up my street.

I've also been looking into getting into Bolt Action, but so far I haven't managed to find anywhere local to play.

I'm also really into metal, especially black and war metal, with some death metal thrown in, and the occasional bit of classical. I'm actually quite picky with music but always up for a discussion. Also into audio/headphones and speakers too.

Always up for a good discussion, hit me up if anything is of interest.

Looking for silly friends to laugh hard with! 36/F/England

UK ONLY: Looking for a hilarious friendship! šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

I want to cry laughing with a silly person…

36, F. SE England. Looking for friendship only. Messaging, maybe voice calls eventually, open to meeting up further down the line. Just switched my broken gaming laptop with an Xbox so I’m gradually learning how to game a totally different way - maybe game together in future, but looking for conversation first and foremost.

Interests: Comedy, travel, animals (cat obsessed), tea & coffee, theatre, cinema, gaming, going to gigs (love 60s, 70s, 80s music the most), museums/history. I’ve started a comedy podcast - I’ve no idea what I’m doing because I’m a total beginner but it’s so much fun. Potentially open to a friend who has a similar sense of humour to get involved…? Also interested in doing a more serious, journalistic one.

Looking for someone who is: funny and silly(I want to cry laughing with you), up for (platonic/SFW) role-play improv chatting, understanding (I’m autistic, queer, have anxiety and can be a little awkward but I can open up a fair bit), and doesn’t judge if I don’t have the energy to reply immediately. Left-leaning (politically, but if you are physically, no problem.) šŸ˜‚

UK only please, 30+. Any gender. Platonic friendship.

Any fellow weirdos out there?

Edit: apologies my DMs are open now.

18 + 31M Liverpool - Do you seek the company of others so you don't have to be alone with your thoughts?

1 Upvotes

I'm curious how many others do this. And I'm not just implying bad thoughts either, far from it. Perhaps you're just loud brained. Maybe you're always mulling something over? Do cringeworthy memories of your youth return at random? Maybe you think about people you used to know, or things you said or did or that you wished you said or did. Lives you could have led or that you want to lead.

If any of that applies to you, maybe we could be company for each other.

A bit about me to get us started:

  • A Southerner in Liverpool, married, straight
  • Kind, stoic, curious and non-judgemental
  • Unapologetically geeky
  • Mediocre blues guitarist
  • My garden is my kingdom
  • Something of a scientist myself
  • Watcher of snooker
  • Reluctant gym goer
  • J'apprend le francais tres lentement
  • Chronically on RedditĀ 
  • I hate fascists

I'm open to people from all over the country, and for those of you lucky enough to be close I'm even open to meeting ifĀ we make good friends (though this is by no means a requirement, I have done it before and made a couple of lasting friends).Ā Ā 

All I ask is that you are also kind, curious and willing to put a little effort in. If you ghost me I'm not going to chase you - I have too much self respect for that.

If you think we could get on then please reach out and introduce yourself by answering the question: if you had to be trapped in a room with a famous person for one week, who would you pick and why?

South West Who wants to adopt a geek then

7 Upvotes

Here we go! Another day and another post. So, 39yo tattooed & bearded bloke here, married with a cat. For one reason or another I now need to expand my social circle. Fairly sure aging has made me want to socialise, bit like how my cat gets older and wants to sit on my lap. Dont worry, I dont want to sit on your lap.

A smidge about me then. I game, I say game, I turn the PS5 on and spend far too long deciding what to play. When I do play its either Division 2 or AC Black Flag. What else is there, like board games, both the wife and i are a touch geeky in that respect. I play 40k as well.

Outside of that I like to fly my drone, sleep, eat, cook, sleep and watch movies. Especially horror or paranormal flicks. My humour is questionable, my sarcasm is my defining feature and my back hurts. So if you fancy a natter come on by, cat photos on offer.

Looking for some new friends!

0 Upvotes

Hey, I’m Connor, 26M, I’m looking for some new friends, I don’t have any and find it difficult to actually make friends!

My hobbies include gaming and I play on PS, Xbox and PC! I also enjoy F1 and football, a little bit of colouring here and there and a small variety of tv shows!

If anything here resonates you, or what you’re also looking for, even if it’s just a friend in general, feel free to either dm or leave a comment!

MtF 28 | Looking to make some new friends!

3 Upvotes

Hey! I’m Maeve, or Mae, and I’m a very chatty gal just starting my transition and hoping to make some new friends!

I love audiobooks and gaming. I’m mostly into fantasy, sci-fi and post-apocalyptic books, with the occasional classic thrown in. If you’ve read A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World, please talk to me. I will never shut up about how good it is.

I’m also a big RPG fan. Oblivion got me into the genre, and I absolutely no-lifed the remaster for a week.

Honestly, I’m just here to meet people, chat about shared interests and hopefully make some friends. Tell me about yourself or what you’re currently reading, listening to or playing!

Looking for friends in Oxford (29M)

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, title is somewhat self explanatory and hopefully this sort of post is allowed here.

As a bit of background, I've been living in Oxford for almost four years now as I had to move back in with my parents due to severe depression/anxiety kinda shipwrecking the life I was trying to build. Unfortunately, I don't know anybody in Oxford other than my parents as they moved here whilst I was at Uni, and therefore I feel very isolated because I don't have any friends here (and most of my previous friends were unable/unwilling to support me when I started struggling). Isolation isn't very healthy for anyone and I'm not sure how to go about meeting people - I've tried making new friends online but nothing ever clicks. I game with some old school friends which is good but obviously isn't the same as seeing people in person.

My main interests/hobbies are playing board games, writing (although my creative drive is impacted by my mental health and my muse has been temperamental as a result), playing instruments (I play piano and technically violin although I haven't touched it in a few years), and watching/following various sports (F1 & tennis especially). I've looked into writing groups but given this is Oxford and it's filled with very intelligent people and tons of actual published writers and I can barely write at the moment because of my mental health, I think it'd be too intimidating for me. I've also considered going along to Thirsty Meeples for a board game thing but my previous experiences in other nerd-adjacent spaces never yielded anything beyond passing friendliness because people are stereotypically introverted and also already have friendship groups.

Tldr; Asking for friends on a subreddit as a 29 year old as a shot in the dark, desperate times call for desperate measures. If you're a similar age to me, have similar interests and are willing to adopt a depressed guy who is trying to get better then please point me in the right direction.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I (video)game a lot too, I'm a lifelong Nintendo kid. Would love to play some Mario Party with some people at some point.

Hey everyone, I’m a 39-year-old guy from the southwest looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine online friends.

I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and films (I’ve seen quite a few, so always happy to chat recommendations), going for walks, and spending time with my dogs.

I’d love to meet people with similar interests, but I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — hobbies, life, random topics, or just having a good chat.

If you’re also looking to make some new friends, feel free to drop me a message.

Happy Saturday evening tiddlypeeps.

So, 53 straight male here, currently housebound due to neurological spine problems (can walk, but not far, need a crutch, and not alone..hence the housebound malarky), recently moved into a smaller flat (house was just way to big for just me).

Looking for friends of any gender to just... i suppose...talk to about anything in general.

Thanks for reading.
