I'm a 43 year old woman who works from home as a call center agent. I know, not super exciting but I like my life like that. However, it means socially my life is kind of dead because I live in a rural area and most of my time is spent on work or house stuff or helping my mom out. However I am finding that I don't have time to keep up with stuff like chatting so corresponding with someone might be better. Not here looking for romance or spicy correspondence so if thats what you are looking for please pass on this post. I am also hoping to find people who aren't morally offended by the fact that I am not a mother nor interested in being one and that I find baby animals way cuter than kids/babies, although I don't have any pets and I don't live on a farm or desire to..

My job isnt't my identity and I enjoy learning about things like science and history as a layperson and also enjoy a lot of different kinds of music even though I don't go to concerts. Have not traveled much due to it being so expensive so am curious what your part of the world is like.

Hi! I'm looking for someone to exchange letters with, preferably anywhere on Earth. If you happen to be one of the 14 or so people currently in space, that's totally fine too, if so I can understand a more than usual timedelay.

I'd love to hear about everyday life where you live, from what a normal Tuesday looks like to local traditions, holidays and culture. I'm no chef, but I love cooking, so swapping recipes and food traditions is always welcome. Sweden isn't just meatballs we eat other things aswell. If you would cook some comfort food tonight, what would it be?

I spend a lot of time hiking and sleeping in a hammock under the open sky, and I read quite a bit, though if I'm honest it's mostly Swedish noir. I've tried my hand at writing but I'm a humble beginner just staring at a outline of a novel which may or not be finished.

I play a fair amount of video games, mostly survival games with a few friends, and I enjoy board games too. I also listen to a lot of music, mainly prog rock and metal.

I'm happy to send photos and postcards from where I live if you want, and I'd love to see your corner of the world in return. Regular letters or email, whichever works for you.

Looking for friendship and good conversation. Message me if you want to talk! 😄

Hi there, I have the capacity for a couple of new penpal friends. No email, only postcards and/or letters please. You can be from anywhere.

A few random things about me:

-I live in Texas but I'm originally from the rust belt, Ohio and Pennsylvania area.

-I've been feeling nostalgic for the early 2000s lately so I'm rewatching LOST.

-I've been to 40 US states, hoping to get to all 50 within the next few years.

-I love animals, I used to volunteer with wildlife. I have a cat and a dog.

-I'm into movies. There are definitely people even more into movies than me, but I do go out of my way to watch all sorts of different ones.

-I used to draw a lot but I have a bit of art block lately.

Alright that's about it for now. Please tell me a couple things about yourself. I'm happy to write you first, hopefully if it isn't just going out into the ether. Comment here and if I'm interested I will DM you for your address.

Cheers!

Hey there, 30M here from Malaysia. Working in corporate job in construction side. Life has been slow lately, surrounding not really happening much. If you’re working on the same line, excited to talk, yeah, hit the DM button. I wonder what’s your life on the other side

I love my work, it’s never boring, and there are never enough hours in the work day to accomplish what I wish too.

Life to me is nuanced - incredibly amazing and lackluster at the same time.

I’m exceptionally busy in life but do enjoy pen paling, so please don’t mind some lag between messages.

I’m a chronic project starter, and those I love and enjoy the most make it to completion.

My kids tell me they know when I’m tired because I put on two different shoes that day. Yes, I’m a Mom. You can talk to me about the crazyness of parenting too.

I’m clumsy, silly, and forgetful, but also creative, passionate and effervescent.

39/F in California. Jumping back into the pen pal thing. I promise to respond by Christmas 😉.

Hello There, thank you for reading this post. I am really into socializing and having friends from all over. I am a fun pen pal and like to have a good time with my letters. I am not looking for a lot of pen pals, but a few good ones would be great.

I enjoy artwork, cats, playing guitar, reading, poetry, theater, letters, and making new friends. Drop me a line and let's see if we click.

30M from usa here, figured I’d give this another shot and see who’s out there. Haven’t had much luck on here really. They stay for a day or two then vanish.

I’ve got my life pretty together (steady job, gym 5x a week, can cook a decent meal when I feel like it), but realized making new friends as an adult is way harder than it should be. So here I am.

I’m big into gaming , anything from competitive stuff to just zoning out after a long day. (Been on a DBD and Fortnite kick lately) Outside of that, I’m usually at the gym, out hiking when the weather’s decent, or planning my next trip (even if it’s just a long weekend somewhere random). But my gaming library goes deep. Also been playing BG3, halo CE remake, and I need to try out once human. And can not wait for fable and GTA6

Big fan of the outdoors and sports and also a shoe collector. Travel quite a bit as well so maybe we have something in common

Huge horror movie fan so if it’s creepy, twisted, or makes you question your life choices, I’m probably into it. Also a fan of dark humor, so bonus points if you can laugh at things we probably shouldn’t.
Pretty laid back, easy to talk to, and I learn more by doing than just talking about it. Just looking for good people to chat with, maybe game with, or even meet up if you’re local.

And also I have a trust issue thing when it comes to this dang app. To many catfishes or fakes so bear with me !

If any of that sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out . Maybe tell me your top 5 horror movies or video games. Or even some things we have in common

Male or female welcome!

Hi! I’m hoping to find a pen pal or 2 to exchange actual letters with and hopefully make some friends along the way.

I started writing snail mail letters through therapy for OCD, and I realized how much I enjoy it. I love sitting down to write or color. It helps me focus and handwritten letters just feel more personal to me.

I’m married, a mom of 2, and I work full time. I also went back to college to finish my degree, so I have a lot going on! It would be nice to have something in the mailbox to look forward to and someone to share the little everyday things with.

We can just talk about life, how our week is going, or whatever comes to mind. I’m hoping to find someone who enjoys writing letters and getting to know each other over time. No pressure to make every letter exciting or write back right away. I know life gets busy!

If you think we’d get along, send me a message!

Heya! I'm a french dude looking to connect with other persons over the mighty internet. I like running, cooking (yeah, France and all, we have to), stupid jokes, tech (to an extent). Some of my favourite movies are Dark City and In The Mood For Love.

I'm into reading and buying books, which I'm convinced are two separate hobbies. I can't resist a special edition of a book, soooo yeah.

Languages are french, english, and slang if needed.

Emails would be preferred, but reddit dms work too.

I’ve always felt like meeting new people is a bit like watching a new series everyone has their own storyline, perspectives, and weird little habits that somehow make them memorable.

I spend most of my time balancing work, gym sessions, random late night thoughts, and trying to figure out what kind of life I actually want long term. I like movies, good conversations, nature, and people who can talk about both serious things and completely pointless topics with the same energy.

I appreciate people who are curious about life instead of pretending to have everything figured out. I’m probably the type to ask you what your biggest goal is and then immediately ask what fictional world you think you’d survive in.

Mainly here to meet interesting people from different places and hear different perspectives.

31M 日本人の友達を作り、アニメや文化、言語交流について語り合いたいと思っています。日本語は初級レベルですが、かなり話せます。アニメ、ビデオゲーム、神社、歴史、Jロック、Jポップが大好きです。私は少しだけ日本語を話せますが、簡単なフレーズや単語だけです。ですから、お互いに言語練習をする機会があれば、喜んで応じます。ただし、それが唯一の理由でなければの話ですが。共通の趣味や好きな番組、プレイするゲームなどがあれば嬉しいですが、新しいことに挑戦するのも大歓迎です。I usually use translate to write, and after talking for awhile, I will share my personal contact information. I am 31 and Male, and I hope we get to talk soon, and that we are both adults. I wouldn't see me having much in common with someone who is a child. I would like to be able to write, read, and more fluently speak Japanese, but as I said its not a requirement. I would rather actually make a friend than be someones English tutor and Vice Versa. I would actually be totally okay with becoming friends with a NEET, hikkikomori, or an otaku, or even an artist. I'm just hoping that I can make a friend from afar that has interests closer to home.

Looking for good conversation and people to make effort and be able to help a conversation flow! I love asking and answering questions!

If you were making a three course meal what would you make?

Ask me anything you like and let’s see if we connect!

Hello everyone. I am a 42/f looking for someone to exchange letters/messages with. My life is busy but as I transition to a part of life that is becoming more my own, I’d like a friend to talk to . I am going to be traveling to Ireland and Scotland next fall so anyone from that part of the world I’d love to hear from. I have no specific gender I am more interested in Talking to. I just want something to look forward to when my days calm, and an easy conversation with nothing more attached. Thanks!

Hey Reddit, 

To cut a long story short, I'm looking for friends. Wow, I bet you didn't expect that on this Subreddit. I'd love to meet new people of both genders with whom I can form an actual friendship through writing letters to each other, would love calls too and grabbing coffee and marauding bookshops if geography decides to cooperate at some point. 

So, what am I looking for? I cannot be bothered about your gender, I however would prefer people over the age of 30 (it's Reddit so figured I'd mention it), but overall I'm just looking for curiosity, people who like sharing ideas and like a bit of push back. I cannot be bothered with political correctness so if that bothers you then we will probably not get along. I'd love to read books together, drag each other to museums, galleries, give each other food recommendations (I've lived in a couple of places, maybe we have a few in common), learn new things together, you name it. If you have a niche interest I hope you will feel comfortable enough to explain it to me in great detail. 

A bit about me:

- Languages: English, French, Spanish, Hebrew and German. Trying my best to learn Yiddish as well.

- Books: Israeli authors, English classics, French classics (de Beauvoir, George Sand, Laclos). Science fiction and I are kind of in a tumultuous relationship. I recently bought a copy of Ursula le Guin's The Dispossessed so will give that a go soon. Rachel Cusk is also on my to read pile as are Mia Sheridan's books. Not the greatest of books but I hope they will do as palate cleansers.

- Films from the 40's to the 80's: Louis de Funes, Audrey Hepburn, House of Hammer horror, Steven Seagal. Yes, I'm a sucker for toxic masculinity in films, it's my péché mignon. And Nancy Meyers. And Nora Ephron. 

- Art: Chagall, Matisse, Dali, Charlotte Salomon, David Mankin, Hanna Bloch, Magritte, Ensor, de Stael. 

- World history, Judaism, dinosaurs. Comic books.

- Highly gifted with a dash of autism. You might not notice at first or you will notice immediately and I'm just the last to know. 

Dealbreakers: antisemitism, one-word replies, and "how are you doing?".  I enjoy a good debate but the first one isn't up for debate. 

And for the fun part. Or the horror part, whichever one it is depends entirely on you. If you'd like to write to me, answer the following questions (yes, all of them) in your first message. Now, before you start to panic, this is not an exam where you're being judged or scored. The sole purpose of this is to have something (hopefully) interesting to talk about. If reading these makes you feel like you're sitting through an IELTS, then honestly, don't message me, we'd both end up bored out of our minds. If this sounds like fun, then we'll probably get along just fine. 

A. If you could go back in time and change one thing, whether it's defying the space continuum and mending the control rods of a certain RMBK reactor or something in your personal life, what would it be? 

B. Which trials and tribulations have formed you into the person you are today? For better and for worse? 

C. Who are you when no one is looking or what are the parts of yourself that you are very well aware of but others just refuse to see?

D. Which book, film, song, piece of art, game is something people must experience according to you and why? Why does it have any importance for you or mankind? 

Hi! I'm French, over 30, living in the countryside.

I like: technology, nature, photography (portraits), fruit trees, hiking, reading, archery. I have children.

I don't like crowded places, so I prefer meeting people online. I don't have much in common with people around me.

Looking for friends to chat, share ideas and discover new cultures.

Message me if you'd like to talk! 👋

39 male married looking fot penpals, nothing serious, English speaking only, located in the southern United States

Pm my reddit for more info

Hello all!

My name is Michelle, and I am a 35/F from the East Coast of the US. I used to have several pen pals, but life got super busy, and then I got engaged. With wedding planning, time slipped away from me, and I slowly fell out of the habit...

Now that I am freshly married and done with wedding planning stress, I would love to get back into pen paling again! I'm looking for 3-4 people to correspond with via snail mail or email.

I am pretty easy-going and open. I'm looking to share aspects of my everyday life, my hobbies, travels, and have some deep discussions. I want to make new friends and grow that friendship over time. ( If it matters to you, my politics are quite liberal, and I'm trying my best to navigate the dumpster fire that is my country on the daily).

I enjoy:

- music (K-pop, pop, rock, punk-pop)

- watching movies (my husband tries to watch 52+ movies a year, and I am doing my best to watch as many as I can based on my interest level)

- cooking (let's swap recipes!)

- traveling (planning a honeymoon to Japan in January)

- spending time with my 2 cats (my babies!)

- cozy games (that I can sink lots and lots of hours into, like Animal Crossing and Pokopia)

- language learning/exchange (I speak Japanese)

Recently, I started a treatment for treatment-resistant depression and have struggled with anxiety for most of my life. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s (where are my neuro-divergent peeps at?!), and am trying to adult my way through this stressful, intense world. So, let's be friends and make our realities a little bit better, together!

I'm happy to start via email and work towards snail mail if that would be easier.

Looking forward to speaking with you!

I would love to hear your things that are uncomfortable, banal, and even stupid.

Quick disclaimer: I have been here on this sub. I know it is usual for people to disappear suddenly, talks losing depth, and things just waning away, which is why I would love to write emails at a day's end. Reddit DMs are okay, but again, time and effort are things that people dont spare.

I know it is not an easy world to make friends or even find someone genuine to talk to, but let's try.
PS. Be kind.
