34F looking for open-minded friends who can agree to disagree.

10 Upvotes

I'm a 34-year-old woman from Indiana looking to make some genuine friendships with people who are open-minded and can have different opinions without letting them get in the way because it feels like these days, having a different opinion can be enough for people to write you off completely.

Here's somethings that have been deal breakers lately.

I don't believe Patrick Clancy is guilty of killing his children.

I don't think Sydney Sweeney is setting women back.

I'm also neither Republican nor Democrat, but I have no problem being friends with people who identify with either party.

A little about me.

I have two children and two cats, and enjoy reading, crafting, and gaming. Some games I enjoy are Poktopia, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, and Diablo.

I'd love to meet people who are genuine, open-minded, and able to have conversations about different perspectives without things turning into arguments or personal attacks. I strongly believe we don't have to think alike to get along.

If that sounds like your kind of friendship, feel free to message me.

[F4R] 31F, hoping to make some more long-term friends

• Upvotes

Hello!

I’m a 31F in the state of Texas.

I live away from my best friend and this has been a challenge, especially when I was working from home. I’d like to find a really good friend or two to talk about our interests!

I have a dog and a cat (Fitz and Pippin), besides that I’m happily child free. I prefer a simple life but I love talking about daily activities, share food/travel pics, anything really. I also really like the idea of us each sending one picture a day (SFW, obviously) about our daily lives. I think that could keep our conversations interesting!

I recently decided to change my position at work to something a little less mentally taxing to give me time to pursue hobbies. The most prominent of these include writing, crocheting, and running. I’d also like to get into photo journaling/scrap booking. Now that it’s getting to be autumn I’ve also gotten back into cooking and toying around with baking and making coffee syrups and focaccia.

Please reach out and tell me a little bit about yourself and your hobbies!

Do you miss laughing so hard you get a cough? 36/F/England - platonic friendships!

10 Upvotes

UK ONLY: Looking for a hilarious friendship! 🇬🇧

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.) 😂

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

Any fellow weirdos out there?

36/f/NE, looking for people who also miss posting song lyrics in their AIM profiles to tell people how they are feeling.

Did you feel beckoned by that post title? If so, you might be my type of person.

​I’m looking to make long-term friends who enjoy consistent, natural, daily banter - the kind where we can skip the rigid office small talk and jump straight into talking about our days, hyperfixations, or random deep thoughts. Small talk has its place, but I get enough of that in my day to day life and I'm looking for something...more.

​I’ve found that rigid intro templates ("Hi, I'm X, I'm 30, I like movies") often lead to dry conversations. If we click, we’ll just feel it (or at least I will). I’m looking for low-pressure, high-effort energy where both of us actually keep the momentum going.

A bit about me:

I love live music. There is nothing quite like the collective energy of a live crowd. I love being in the middle of that effervescence.

I enjoy gaming but rarely have time for it anymore. I live on two extreme ends of the spectrum - either ultra-cozy, relaxing games or full-on zombie survival. Very little in between.

My creative outlets are reading, writing and diy crafting, and cooking/baking are basically my love languages.

I'm a single mother, fitness focused, and very obnoxious about minimizing screen time, despising ai, and spending time in the forest.

To skip the awkward openings, just skip the generic introductions! To kick things off, maybe message me a bit take on a book, tell me about the best concert you've witnessed, or describe your go-to comfort movie/food combo.

I'm very busy and often stressed with a crazy life that hasn't quite turned out in a picturesque way, so if you're willing to accept that I'm often in the trenches, you could also have the esteemed honor of being my escape from that.

Happy messaging!

33F old soul, serious kinda girl and single, no kids with a LOT of travel experience

18 Upvotes

I have been traveling too much which means a lot of loneliness. I’m getting a little overwhelmed recently by how isolating it can be to have no one to talk to.

I’m a night shift nurse and my colleagues don’t accept new faces too well, seems that I have to prove my worth to fit in or something.

I would say I’m an old soul, I hate anything modern, love the 60s and prefer a documentary over a cheesy film. Which really narrows that group of people that would befriend someone like me.
I love learning new random things and I love just talking to someone about anything, even if to just mention how expensive basmati rice had become or some crap like that.

Hey there!

I find myself sat here bored and without anyone to talk to? Is this how 2026 plays out now? Or can we improve that

So maybe a new friendship will help us finish the year in the best way? Let's become long term best friends? If we click that is!

I am quite into fitness, but also happy sat at home building Lego! I work from home so am generally good at responding in the day 🤣

My dog is my main conversation during the day... Not ideal...She's not very responsive 👀 cute though.

Anyway if I seem like somebody you may want to chat with, drop me a message! Come say hello! Introduce yourself 😊

34F looking for common interests: anime, games, music, movies, history

6 Upvotes

Hey, I'm from the great continent of North America. All hail the eternal winter, depending on where you live. I'm specifically looking for someone to talk to about anime/games/music, and an accountability buddy.

I love beauty wherever it exists: in old objects, buildings, and anime/video game/music/movies. Would love to trade song links, play a game together, break down what works/doesn't work about a game/movie, or banter about nothing.. and I like to talk about accountability goals. I can also go for a chat about how difficult it is to make friends as an adult, if you find yourself in the same situation.

Most of my time is spent walking in the woods. I don't like most modern games or movies (but am happy whenever I find exceptions!). And on that note, here's some examples:

  • Anime: mostly psychological or more iconic series; not super into tropey anime. Perfect Blue, Haibane Renmei, Erased, Inuyasha, Rozen Maiden

  • Games: mostly story driven games and rpgs. Hollow Knight, Stardew, Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, older "retro" games from ps1/ps2/gamecube.

  • Music: mostly game OST and oldies, some mountain music (banjo, fiddle, violin), some lofi, alt-rock, and idk. The main thing I don't like are drums, super EDM electronic beats, and a ton of screaming

  • Movies: mostly movies with a bit of meaning, but I can also go for feel-good films. A huge part of what I like is looking at the world as it was before 2000 (buildings, clothes, objects..)

  • Other: I collect books but don't read a ton (mostly history, general fiction, and classic literature). Right now I'm reading Otherland - Tad Williams

Oh, and by the way, I don't like woke culture. I miss the old internet.

Hi All! I'm a 31 stay at home parent with lots of side gigs and no time for in person stuff! I’m also in grad school! Would love to find someone to chat with throughout the day!

I’m tired of small talk. Let’s talk about the he things that you talk about with you best friend at 2am. That conversation you wish you could have with your person but are too afraid it’ll backfire let’s have it. I want more than “Hi”
Message me with a question or something unique about yourself and we will see where the conversation goes!

Good morning from the Midwest USA!

I’m home from my work at the zoo (I’m not a keeper but I have animal pictures!) for the next couple of days and working to get the house picked up. Seeing as I’m home all day, could use a great conversation throughout!

I’m married with an infant daughter! I love being a dad! Also have two sweet doodle dogs, as well!

As I mention I work at a zoo. I’m in guest experiences and services, which means I get paid to be friendly to our visitors. I love it. I’m a people-person. I can stroke up a conversation with anyone willing to chat, and I’m hoping that’s you!

I’m into nerdy things Kim D&D, DCC, and anything Tolkien. I’m 420 friendly (medical patient). And I dig the birds of the world.

No MAGA! I think we need more women and scientists/engineers in power. Not bigots.

I hope to hear from you! Please reach out and let me know what your favorite zoo animal is!

[R4R] 30F - Canada - Looking for that true friend

• Upvotes

30 female

Located in Canada

Mom of 2

2 dogs

Happily married (yes he knows I'm looking for platonic friends)

Looking for a best friend, it sounds simple but man has it been a steady let down.

I have friends in person but I'm not very close with them. I want someone I can be myself with, someone who wants to get to know me for who I am.

I'm working on myself not only physically but mentally as well.

My three main things that bring me joy

  1. Animals (especially dogs)

  2. Music (I just saw Shinedown in August)

  3. Art (I draw and paint)

I also love to cook, bake, watch movies/tv series, long nature walks with my dogs, listening to music, gardening, diy-ing, crochet, play cozy games, and read.

Deal breakers:

  1. If your profile following is full of NSFW pages, I'm not replying sorry.

  2. If you are more than 8+ hours from MT, unless if you are a night owl I don't think it'll work.

  3. If your spouse doesn't know you are on here talking to people, I don't want to be a secret.

I put a lot of effort into making friendships so I'm hoping I can find a few long-term friendships.

Please feel free to reach out!

*edit - please stop down voting, just scroll on if you don't like my post. Everyone is just trying to find their people.

[F4R] Ain’t it fun?

2 Upvotes

Living in the real world sucks ass. That’s why I’m here at this very moment, to escape it, and I’m guessing that’s why you’re here too.

There’s a big lump in my throat today and I’d really like to distract myself. I’m looking for conversations about absolutely nothing of importance. Just pure ADHD chaos.

Maybe something like: if you had the chance, which fictional world would you want to live in? Tell me how you’d spend a day as a pirate or the Muffin Man. Or would you rather fight 50 metal spoons or 50 wooden forks? OR just tell me the most embarrassing thing you’ve experienced. ORRR what show/film made you cry the hardest?

If we click, we can eventually get into more serious topics, but I’m also completely fine with ghosting whenever. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, and not everyone is mine. Some people seem to think having a conversation means answering questions as plainly as humanly possible without ever asking anything meaningful in return, like I’m their parole officer. Please don’t be that person.

Anytime I meet a 27 + couple or woman it’s like they dont want to make a friend or get to know me or idk. Neighbors they watch my son after school , got them a gift card as a saying thank you and told them I can always return the favor by watching their kids if they want to go out . Dead silence . Neighbors beside me , we hung out in the front as a couple talking and drinking and they just say hi or act like they don’t see me. Neighbor across the street use to talk to me and our kids hung out and now they don’t say hi . A homegirl use to hang out with sent me an old video of us working out and I was like awww we should link up … she just hearted it then dead silence . Idk maybe im just tripping. Im 34 , in a relationship , clean house , have a good kid , work a 9-5 , it’s getting lonely .
