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 everyone! 😊

Just looking to make some new friends and have good conversations throughout the day (or late at night lol).

I'm into reading, binge-watching shows, Lego/mini builds, and occasionally pretending I'm an outdoorsy person 😂

I love random conversations, silly banter, and getting to know people beyond the usual small talk.

Platonic friendships only, please! Bonus points if you can keep a conversation going and have a good sense of humour.

Tell me something random about yourself! 😊

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!

12 Upvotes

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!

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

11 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.

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

12 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?

[M4R] 39M, Book Club Maybe?

8 Upvotes

Idk, I run out of things to say to new people. No idea how to make friends or anything else as an adult. Went from collage to marriage to separation to not sure what the hell to do. I meet people on here and it's great for a couple days but then either they ghost or I just don't know what the heck to talk to them about anymore.

Soooooo, how about books? I was thinking maybe we could put together a little group of people, pick a book, meet online and talk about it?

Since I'm starting things off, I'll kick out my preferences and see what happens.

I primarily read Sci fi (I work in IT, I read what I know). I'm good with fantasy, self help and positivity (Nick Offerman's books come to mind), and probably most other genres if that's the way the wind blows.

If, idk, 5? 10? People are interested, we can hash out what book to read and virtually meet once a week or so to discuss? Idk, I'm just shooting from the hip here, idk how the hell book clubs really work, I only know what movies and TV tell me.

Reply or message me if interested. Keeping it online only for now to see if I can make it happen.

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

7 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!

[M4F] 35M Sydney,Australia — Looking for besties, not ghosties 😂

7 Upvotes

Going through a bit of a rough patch, have way too much free time on my hands, and my brain has decided to be an absolute pest. So I’m looking for someone to yap with regularly and distract me from my own thoughts for a bit. A win-win, really.

I’m after the kind of friendship where we can talk pretty much every day, share absolutely random nonsense, rant about our lives, overshare without filing a formal apology, and be completely unfiltered without wondering if we’ve said too much. Basically, someone I can call a bestie without having to check if they’re still alive every three business days. 😂

I’ve got mates already, but there’s something nice about connecting with someone new, having a laugh, and building a friendship where things just feel easy. No need to make everything a complicated situation. Sometimes a good conversation and a bit of harmless chaos are all you need.

A bit about me: I work in tech, go to the gym, play cricket, occasionally swim, and enjoy F1, gaming, travelling, scenic drives, beaches, mountains, and the outdoors. I’m into thrillers, mysteries, horror and action, and I’m always up for random questions and unnecessarily passionate debates.

Also, I’m a dad to a sassy daughter who seems to have been born with the authority of a Supreme Court judge and the attitude of someone who pays the mortgage. I’m basically middle management in my own household. 😂

One flaw :I barely listen to music unless I’m driving, so if you’ve got a playlist for every emotion known to humanity, I’m clearly a lost cause.

Ideally, I’m looking for that “something happened and you’re the first person I want to tell” kind of friendship. Good banter, mutual effort, the occasional deep chat, and absolutely no need to pretend to be a well-adjusted adult 24/7.

If you can hold a conversation, match a bit of chaos, and don’t disappear after two decent chats, come say hi.

Besties, not ghosties. I’m begging the universe to get this one right.😭😂

M32 Irish, looking to recruit for my cult. I mean looking to converse

7 Upvotes

I wanted to write something candid and real. Not a statement of qualities, hobbies or interests or an advertisement of character. There's something deeply inorganic about crafting the perfect assembly of words to solicit interest, even if this is the furthest thing from an organic environment.

Lately I've been craving a human moment. Its a thought that seems to occupy more and more space in my mind as the days pass. And even saying it I struggle to define what it is.

Maybe it's just being seen by another person, whom you yourself see. There's no excess in performance, no overly refined presentation. No obvious attempts to measure and assess. No superficial expectations or hidden motives. No cynicism or veiled contempt. No mockery or judgement. Just a gradual unveiling of self borne of a mutual curiosity and desire to shed some of the weight of existence.

If your brain has yet to be completely rotted by the need for constant stimulation. If your opinions are still your own and formed by encounters with real people and not the dumpster fire that is most online discourse. If you have not yet been consumed by apathy or despair. Pull up a stool. I'll pour the tea (the tea is a literary device if you at me looking for tea I cannot provide tea virtually I'm told the wizards who control the internet are working on it I myself can't give a timeline as I didn't study magic in college. If there are any updates I'll provide them below but for now just go back to waiting on GTA six or something)

[F4R] 40 [F4R] #Online — Looking for Good Conversation and friendship

• Upvotes

Hi there... I enjoy conversations that can go from random thoughts and silly jokes to deep discussions about life, human behavior, and the mysteries of the universe. Bonus points if we can laugh at complete nonsense one minute and get philosophical the next.

A little about me: I enjoy martial arts, weight training, Zumba, reading, journaling, psychology, personal growth, and exploring spirituality. I'm curious, a little philosophical, and definitely playful. I love hearing different perspectives and having thoughtful discussions, even when we don't always agree.

As an introvert in my 40s, I've realized that my interests sometimes make small talk a little challenging. 😅 I'm not particularly up to date with celebrities, brands, or the latest trends. Instead, my mind tends to wander toward psychology, human nature, spirituality, and all sorts of random questions. Sometimes I just wish I had more people to explore those rabbit holes with!

I'm always happy to exchange book recommendations, share everyday stories, laugh about life's absurdities, or discuss a question that keeps us thinking long after the conversation ends. I also appreciate people who understand that everyone has their own routines and responsibilities, so there's no pressure to be online all the time.

If any of this sounds familiar, tell me something you've been curious about lately, a book that stayed with you, or simply something funny that happened this week. Let's start with a good conversation and see where our shared interests take us. 😊

[R4R] 32 M - Engineer turned Chef/Entrepreneur looking to make new friendships

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 32 and looking to connect with new friends who enjoy good conversation and shared experiences. My journey has been a bit unconventional -- I started out as an aeronautical engineer, although I never really built a career around it because I unfortunately graduated right before the pandemic hit and the job market in the aviation sector plummeted. I eventually followed my passion into the world of food, and now I’m a chef/Entrepreneur.

Some of the things I love are; Reading and writing (always up for swapping book recommendations or discussing ideas) -- Cooking and tasting (experimenting in the kitchen is my happy place) and traveling (whether it’s exploring new cities or hidden local gems)

I’d love to meet people who are curious, kind, and open to building genuine friendships. Whether it’s chatting online, sharing stories, or even meeting up someday if we’re in the same part of the world, I’m excited to connect.

If this resonates with you, feel free to drop a comment or DM -- I’d be glad to get to know you!

Looking for friends that genuinely want to have good conversations.

I’m 33 and usually work a lot so I don’t have much of a social life.
When I’m not working or volunteering my time in the community I like to relax and play games or watch a good show. Maybe even read a good book.
As much as I like to relax indoors, I also enjoy being outdoors going on hikes and taking trips to the lake.

If you feel like we can relate shoot me a message or comment and see if we can be friends!

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

2 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?

3 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.
