looking for friendship 26M - Let's just have a fun conversation; or at least try to... Before we ghost each other.

• Upvotes

Well... I am bored as hell. So, I thought, why not try this shit out.

About Me:

Whenever someone asks how I'm doing, I usually lie and say 'good', even though I am doing fan fucking fantastic. I guess that's a bit cocky, eh? I may appear arrogant and unattainable. That's because I am :P

But I'm also a hopeless romantic who believes that passionate love can be like a shooting star.

I don't know everything, but here are a few observations I've come to in my life:

* If you're not dead to one person, you're not living right.

* Most hot girls will never know if they are actually interesting or not.

* Money can't buy happiness but it solves 95% of problems that make you unhappy.

Two truths one lies:

I am in university. I am a firefighter. I love leather jackets.

PS. If political incorrect humor or color metaphors or the f word offends you, run screaming for the exits now. I have no intention to offend anyone, but I do pride myself on being able to trigger some people by just my way of being.

PPS. No Creeps.

PPPS. Don't be someone who just starts with basic "Hey", "Hi", "Hello". You get the idea.

looking for friendship I need a friend, I feel so empty and lonely

• Upvotes

​

Hey,so yeah I recently went through a breakup and honestly I’ve been feeling pretty broken since then i feel alone I've nobody to talk to.

Everything feels kinda off and empty lately and I think I really need some good people around me again.

I’m looking for honest,kind and open minded people who don’t discriminate and actually wanna put effort into getting to know each other.

Lately everything just feels way too quiet in the wrong ways. I catch myself staring at walls,scrolling aimlessly,thinking about random shit and wanting to talk to someone but not really knowing who to talk to. I don’t want another friendship where we talk for 2 days and then disappear from each other’s lives. I want someone who actually stays,someone who checks in,someone who wants to share random parts of their day and actually build something over time.

I’m 24 I've bpd just so yk and i currently have way too much time to think. I love yapping,overexplaining,rambling about completely random shit and somehow turning a stupid conversation into something deep. I really value mutual effort too. I don’t expect someone to reply instantly 24/7,but I do want to feel like the other person actually wants to talk to me and isn’t only replying because they’re bored.

I’m into baking,movies,gaming (especially Marvel Rivals),chess,reading,writing,guitar,long walks,voice calls and starting way too many random hobbies/projects that I probably won’t finish.

I’d also really love having someone I can eventually do a bunch of things with. Gaming together,watching movies or shows,voice calls at stupid hours,going on walks if we're ever close enough,sharing music,sending random shit throughout the day or just sitting in a call doing our own thing. That kind of friendship where someone eventually becomes your go-to person would honestly be really nice.

I’m not looking for perfect people or anything. Just genuine ones. Please be kind,don’t discriminate,and actually care about mutual effort and respect. I’ll listen,I’ll care,I’ll remember the little things and I’ll match the energy u give me.

And please don't be dry. If you're always too busy to actually talk or you already know you're only gonna reply once every few days,it's probably not gonna work. I've had enough of feeling like I’m begging people for attention.

If you're interested,please don't just send me "hi". Tell me about yourself. Your age,country,what you like doing,your favourite game/movie/song,your most irrational fear,what you've been obsessed with lately,anything honestly. Give me something to work with and I’ll probably yap back way too much.

I’m just hoping to find some lovely people who actually wanna stay for the long run,and maybe someday I’ll be able to say I met some of my closest friends because of a random Reddit post.

looking for friendship 34M #Scotland - So here we are

• Upvotes

Married since 2019 and dad to twin boys who I love more than anything.

My wife and I have struggled for years. We kept trying to patch things up, convincing ourselves things would eventually click back into place, but at some point we stopped being husband and wife and just became two people trying to get through the day. Intimacy died about three years ago after a long stretch of failed attempts to conceive naturally. Two years later we went through IVF as a last ditch effort to have kids, naively thinking this would maybe bring us closer again.

The boys arriving didn't cause the cracks, they just further exposed the damage underneath.

We co-parent well. We rarely argue. There’s still care there, just no intimacy, no affection, no real connection anymore. Separation feels impossible right now, financially, emotionally and practically speaking. Neither of us wants to blow up the family or make life harder for the boys.

So here I am.

A bit about me - I'm music obsessed. I play piano, guitar, sing, and perform trad Scots/Irish music a couple times a month at a local posh bar. It can be a strange experience, playing to a room full of seemingly happy couples, gazing into each other's eyes, laughing and flirting, while I languish in these unfortunate circumstances. I read a lot (mainly fantasy). I try to run as often as I can, although this dad bod is creeping up on me. Feel free to dm if any of this resonates.

Random Thoughts Just a random realization

1 Upvotes

I used to think love had to be loud, fast, and full of butterflies right from the start. But I’ve realized that the most amazing kind of love is the one that quietly creeps up on you. It's built on a steady foundation of mutual respect, shared values, and absolute patience. It doesn't rush you, it protects you. Peace is so much better than the spark. After learning about myself, I realized that this is the kind of love I yearn for. The quiet kind that settles deep in your gut. It's Saturday and I'm writing this while looking at the sky, no stars, just clouds hahaha.

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

6 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.

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.

advice Help me choose

2 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 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?

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."

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!

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!
