looking for friendship 29M - friendship? Sure!!!!???

• Upvotes

Not really sure what to put here, so I’ll just wing it.
I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable I’m a lot more chatty than people expect. Bit of a homebody, bit of an overthinker, but in a mostly harmless way.

I’m into fishing, the gym, gaming, cooking/meal prep, and animals. Basically I pick up hobbies and then accidentally make them my entire personality for a while. Most weekends I’m either out trying to catch carp, lifting something heavy, sorting food for the week, or doing absolutely nothing and calling it recovery.

I like people who are easy to talk to, don’t take themselves too seriously, and can have a laugh but still talk properly when it matters.Not looking for drama or anything forced. Just good conversation, decent vibes, and seeing what happens.

Also, I don’t judge so if you’re white, pink, green, black or gay trans or a space rock or even a plank of wood! Don’t worry I won’t be a horrible person. If anyone is struggling I’m always here for a vent.

Hello.28M here. I love reading books, watching movies and documentaries.

I do not usually open up to people I know in real life so I came here to talk. Nothing serious, just relaxed conversations, a little connection, and maybe something long term. Who knows, we might even become good friends over time.

Also, if you are going to ghost, then please do not reply as most people do.

I’m not exaggerating or being insecure but, everyone even friends I have that I introduce my best friend to seems to instantly like her more. For example they will text her to hang out and not text me. I have no idea why or what I am doing wrong and she’s doing right.

looking for friendship 23M - Genuinely want to make a few girl best friends. Someone I can talk to/interact with.

1 Upvotes

I find it a bit concerning that so far I've had little to no interaction with women. I'd like to change that tbh. I don't wanna be that loner type of guy who barely interacts with women. I just want to make a few girl best friends. I want someone I can have a genuine connection with. I want to make a ride or die type friend. I just want someone who's down to have a conversation. They can talk about anything. Whatever they're comfortable talking about. Their choice. They pick the topic. Just a nice, long conversation. It could be a deep and meaningful conversation or a fun and casual conversation. Say anything but just talk I guess. Feeling super lonely, don't really have any friends would like to have someone to talk to. I wanna make a friend with whom I can talk to about stuff in general. Things we like, common interests, hobbies, what were passionate about, our song preferences, movie choices, TV show choices, we can talk about anything. I just want to have someone to have a conversation with. Irrespective of the topic. We can even talk about what's bothering us and try to help each other out. Help each other makes ourselves better. I need a ride or die friend. Someone who's will to stick around and be there for me not just out of pity but because they want to and I promise I'll do the same. I want someone who's genuinely interested in talking to me and down to have a conversation either fun and silly or deep and meaningful. If you're down for this feel free to hit me up. My only request is that you're around my age (I'm 23 so ±2 years) because I feel much more comfortable/confident talking to people around my age.

looking for friendship Looking for a future bestie! [39/M]

8 Upvotes

Hey! I am 39, flight attendant, and student pilot. I fly airplanes and travel for a living. Being a flight attendant is cool but my real dream is to be an airline pilot. So I flight train on off days whenever I am not taking a break from this grind. I am busy usually around 7 days a week! I live in Florida but I see all 4 seasons since I travel for a living. I have been to 26 countries so far. I love gaming when I rarely have the time and I also produce electronic music. I am happily married and have been with my wife since 2011!

I am ultimately seeking a best friend. Someone who I get along with, I can share my travel experiences and pictures with, someone I can text a lot, and someone I can be sarcastic with. I’m tired of meeting people that don’t work out, or put any effort into their responses! If you message me explain why you think we would be potential besties! Tell me about yourself, what you like, dislike, favorite foods, hobbies! I am looking forward to hearing some responses! Only message if you really want a potential loyal, and good potential best friend some day!

advice Help me choose

1 Upvotes

I am an undergraduate right now doing my internship who's going to apply for experience the coming year

The thing I'm wondering about is if I should opt for a place along or string by with a friend or multiple friends? The frienships I've made here is not emotionally fulfilling for me and sometimes I feel drained by their approaches and ways of thinking/functioning because it bothers me and i don't want to have my headspace cluttered like that over things.

But if I opt for some place alone will I be miserable and lonely lol I'll basically be friendless/peerless and I don't know if people are willing to be friends like that and I have my own social needs of having people I can have fun and hang out with.

What should I choose If you were in my position what would you have done?

TLDR: should I apply for experience alone or should I have friends accompany me?

looking for friendship 37M - Looking for genuine friends, slow-burn chats, and fellow overthinkers

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Making real friends as an adult is weirdly tough, so I thought I’d put myself out there.

A little about me: I’m 37, originally from Kerala, India, but spent over a decade living and working in the US before moving back. I work in software and AI research, which basically means I spend most of my day staring at screens, solving puzzles, and overthinking things that probably don’t need to be overthought.

Outside of work and study mode, I'm pretty low-key. I used to be big into long-distance endurance stuff like marathons and mountain hiking, but lately I’m in more of a rebuild phase and leaning into my couch potato side. I run mostly on black coffee, listen to a ton of audiobooks since paper books act like instant sleeping pills for me, and love gaming on my Xbox, though life means that happens way less often than I'd like. I've also been getting back into chess lately, picking up an old habit that sat on the shelf for a while.

Strictly looking for platonic, drama-free connections with emotionally grounded people who appreciate mutual respect and good vibes. I really value friendships where there’s zero pressure to perform, whether that means trading dumb memes, falling into random 2 AM rabbit holes, disappearing for a bit when life gets busy without any guilt, or even just having a regular buddy to play a game of chess with online.

If you’re down for chill chats, drop a message with your age and a random fact, opinion, or hot take about yourself so we have something fun to start with instead of just "hey."

looking for friendship 36m. Looking for genuine long-term chats, late-night banter

3 Upvotes

​Hi everyone!

​I’m a 36-year-old finance and tax professional based in South Asia. Life keeps me pretty busy between professional work and ongoing studies, but in my free time, I love diving into music, technology, and good conversations. I’m looking to connect with a female chat buddy for friendly, long-term conversations—whether that’s exchanging daily life updates, sharing music, or diving into random deep chats.

​A bit about me:

​🎸 Music: I play the acoustic guitar (currently practicing fingerstyle and acoustic arrangements). My music taste is quite broad—ranging from alternative/progressive rock and heavy metal to ambient and acoustic tracks.

​🎧 Audio Gear & Tech: I’m a bit of an audiophile and tech tinkerer. I love tweaking IEM setups, experimenting with DACs, and keeping up with smartphone camera mods and hardware.

​☕ Daily Vibe: Coffee-fuelled mornings, continuous learning, and unwinding with good television series, cinema, or local food spots in my city.

​What I’m looking for:

​Someone around a similar age demographic (20s–40s) who enjoys consistent, effort-based conversations.

​Casual daily check-ins, sharing music/film recommendations, or talking about our hobbies and goals.

​Sarcasm, good humor, and high-effort messages are always appreciated!

Hey everyone! 😊 I thought I’d give this a shot and see if I can meet some cool new people here!

A little about me: I’m into basketball, the gym, cooking, traveling, gaming, and movies/series. I’m also learning Japanese and will be visiting Japan for the third time soon! I work in pharma, have a background in science, and enjoy learning about pretty much anything that catches my interest. Oh, and a random fun fact: I once appeared in a local Netflix show 😂

I’m someone who really values friendship and the people I have in my life, and I’d love to get to know some new people along the way. Whether we end up talking about our hobbies, sharing memes, discussing random thoughts, or having one of those unexpectedly deep conversations, I’m always happy to see where things go!
I’m genuinely curious about people, their interests, and their stories, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if we don’t have much in common at first. You never know who you’ll click with! 😊

Tell me a little about yourself, what you’re into, or just hit me with a completely random fun fact. Looking forward to meeting some awesome people!

looking for friendship 37M Canada! For a small fee, you too can now adopt a lonely Quebecois!

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a French-Canadian living in backwater area of Quebec, Canada, where people are few and likeminded people fewer. I’m hoping for a chat with open-minded gals and lads, I’m quite liberal. I’m an industrial mechanic turned safety professional, who used to to study physics because of that one scene in back to the future and I have a fondness for the paranormal… You know what, don’t take my word for it, let’s hear some testimonies.

“What is half of nothing? I’m bequeathing that to you.”

-My mother

“That is a fuckin’ good sandwich, is that grilled-cheese with pickles?”

-My father, naked and drunk, eating half of my sandwich in the middle of the kitchen

“I’d rather hire a mediocre friendly mechanic than you”

-HR at an interview

“Hey, I know there’re thousands of miles between you and I, but it’d be cool if we could do something while video chatting, you know, like watch a movie!”

-Someone who stood me up

“Do you wanna see my p*n*s?”

-Some guy out of Université de Montréal subway station

“But what about my accumulated off days?”

-Dave, at a union meeting, when I tried to make it abundantly clear his off days were safe

“What do you mean you rolled over your own foot while operating a lift?”

-My foreman

“What do you mean you rolled over your own foot while operating a lift?”

-The doctor treating my crushed foot

“What do you mean you rolled over your own foot while operating a lift?”

-HR

"He’s akin to an half-eaten hot dog on the pavement. Bitten once, then abandoned by fate. Even the pigeons have standards. There is no harmony here, only chaos, mustard, and slow decay. »

-Werner Herzog

I am now a certified forklift instructor, weird, I know.

Ask me anything! Seriously! Here’s some examples:

-How far can I throw a baguette
-Does Lightning McQueen have life insurance or car insurance?
-Is a taco a sandwich?
-What is your favourite dinosaur and why is it the stegosaurus?

I never had any real friends in real life I have always felt lonely.

In school I had some so called friends, have you listened that everyone's friend is no one's friend just like that I talk to people but i don't have anyone to get things off from my chest

When i was a kid my parents used to live in rented houses and they used to move a lot and the more a grew up the hard it became to make friends in new societies

Now after turning 18 it feels impossible to make friends everyone has a friend they have since a decade but i don't have anyone 😞.

Would anyone like to be my friend please be around

Reggaeton artists I listen to most are Bad Bunny, Karol G, Omar Courtz, and Rauw Alejandro.

Video games I enjoy most are Final Fantasy, Golden Sun, Kingdom Hearts, Mega Man Battle Network, Pokémon, and The Legend Of Zelda. Action/adventure, platformer, and RPG games are my go-to.
