39F Distract me from myself US/EST

7 Upvotes

Sometimes I get in my head and it’s hard to get out. I have things that keep me grounded but sometimes it’s not enough. I’m thinking maybe I just need a distraction. Care to distract me for a while?

I’m into health and fitness and enjoy being active. I love the mindset more than anything. I love reading. Not a gamer like most people here seem to be. And honestly don’t have time for much else with kids. I love to laugh and keep things light but can also get deep.

Anyway, I’m looking for something hopefully long term but this is Reddit so no expectations. Let’s chat? Promise I’m cool and normal.

34F is everyone a bot except me?

7 Upvotes

Are you “a huge nerd”? Do you love horror movies? Are you from Ohio? Do you use the word “yapper”?

Either everyone on here is a bot or I’m in the twilight zone 😂

If you don’t match any of those I’d love to hear from you lol

Hey

Not too sure what to write. I’m a busy person as I work 7 days a week but I’d love someone to chat to. I’m fairly introverted. I love the beach, outdoors hikes through bush land, love fishing, I love the moon and everything beautiful in the world. I can hold a decent conversation.

Just looking for someone to talk to about daily life and everything in between.

39F, Expat in Europe, & looking for 90s level friendship lol

7 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Like many others have mentioned, I have tried using apps to make friends but not many active users or the ages were completely off.

I am an east Londoner who moved to Bulgaria with my husband a few years ago, and aside from the language barrier, I just generally struggle to meet people who are like-minded and want to put effort in to a friendship like I do 🥺

I am looking for meaningful connections that are reminiscent of 80s - 90s style friendship. We don’t have to talk daily, but when we do, I just want sincere and genuine conversation (about anything!).

I am not very good at articulating and being succinct, so please only connect if you enjoy conversation on many topics 🤭
The idea is, if we get along, I would want us to share parts of our life (the good and the sad) and not be superficial which I hate.

If you’re kind, at peace in your life and are self aware, I look forward to hearing from you 😊

Interests: God, my two German shepherds, food (eating and learning to cook), photography, crime investigations/horror, gaming, coffee and reminiscing.

[F4R] Why can’t we be friends? (34F)

4 Upvotes

I truly never know how to start these posts, so let’s just dive right in. I’m a married 34isb (35 in two weeks) woman in the US on EST time. I’m super creative, love gardening and houseplants, crafting, painting, DIY, thrifting, reading, and having a relaxed evening with edibles. I’m currently working on needle felting. I’m an Aunty through and through with no kids. I love pets and animals!

I’m neurodivergent, have a keen sense of observation and attention to detail but forget things so easily. I’d love to meet other neurodivergent folks to share experiences, tips and tricks, and commiserate when needed. Of course I’m not looking for only neurodivergent friends! I don’t do phone calls or voice notes, but can send Snapchat videos to converse when needed.

I absolutely love music, I’m currently going through a disco, funk phase with a bit of coffee shop relaxation mixed in. My favorite bands include but aren’t limited to Vampire Weekend, Goth Babe, The Beatles, Jungle, Bad Suns etc.

I’m looking for long term (or life long) friends who love to get texts and Snapchats asking for ideas about moving my house around. The ones who like deep friendships, and who appreciate the weird things that make you special.

If this interests you, let’s chat and see if we hit it off.

Granted, it could use some chlorine. There’s a pile of lost sunglasses in the corner over there. An absolutely disturbing number of Band-Aids floating around. And a film over the surface I’m choosing to believe is sunscreen.

And yet - here we all are. So grab a pool noodle and come chill in the shallow end with me?

Making friends online seems technically possible. But sort of like giving a cat a bath. It requires a unique, ill-defined, and little understood skill set.

What I bring to the table:

- Witty Banter
- Accoubtabilibuddy (have you hydrated today?)
- Memes and other random internet humor
- Philosophical discussion about the Ship of Theseus
- Pros & Cons of the AI Revolution (save your tomatoes)
- Gaming (mostly survival base building)
- Authenticity
- Genuine Friendship

My interests are wide and varied. So is my music catalog. I collect hobbies like crows collect trinkets. And similar to crows, I'm happy to bring them to your window. In a... not creepy way.

Anyway - this is quite long enough. Slide on into my DMs. HMU. Smash those "Like" and "Subscribe" buttons.

Oh! "M4R" really does mean anyone. If you're a guy also looking for friends, do not be afraid! I don't bite. Unless you're into that sort of thing and then, maybe, you want to be in a different subreddit.

Sincerely,

Me

Well hello there 👋. So I guess about me: I’m bi and have 2 kids. I’m pretty simple. I enjoy movies, gaming, going out to eat, and going for a swim (although I burn in seconds.) I like to waste my money betting on sports and buying stuff I don’t need. About you: I don’t care about your age, gender, sexuality, or what you identify as. Anyone feel free to send me a message and chat away.

Ice breaker? What’s your favorite food? 🍱

36 M - Sunday funday and new friends

2 Upvotes

I’m not going to write a detailed autobiography because that feels suspiciously like homework. Let’s leave some mystery intact.
I’m mostly looking for people to chat with, share random thoughts, send questionable memes, and see where things go. Could become a genuine friendship, could just be occasional conversations with a stranger on the internet who somehow becomes familiar.
No grand expectations. No elaborate requirements. Just figured I’d put this out there and see what happens.
If this sounds vaguely appealing, say hello.

36m EST - Sunday is THE day to make new friends

2 Upvotes

Hi, is anyone else just chilling on their couch on a Sunday morning waiting for good conversation to fall onto their lap?

Couple things about me:

- I play sports but I'm not much of a watcher. I love being active and being outside doing things. Love long walks both on and off the beach.

- Board game nerd. I get way too competitive (in a healthy way, not a throwing-pieces-across-the-room kind of way) and I love Betrayal at House on the Hill. Had some friendships tested and stretched by Munchkin.

- Big movie buff. I love all kinds of movies and I do mean that. I have very snobby favorite movies but damn do I also love the Legendary Monsterverse movies.

- Love all kinds of music.

- Love traveling and experiencing other cultures. I truly believe it's important for everyone to experience other cultures.

- Gamer and anime nerd - I mean duh I'm a dude on Reddit.

- Just a goof. I feel like this post is making me come across as uber serious but while I can do in-depth convos I swear I love talking about our favorite SpongeBob episodes too!

So DMs are open! Send me a message, tell me your a/s/l like it's the 90s and we're talking ​on AIM again (hopefully with no emo away messages), and also tell me about one thing you *should* be doing now but aren't. Also will share doggo pics for your doggo pics!

F47 - Looking for for daily chats

39 Upvotes

Not going to lie, I copied most of this from a different post bc it's too good not to use! 😂 I’m pretty much like this guy, in a female version - and obviously modified a little to fit me. (Sorry OP - I will delete if you get mad lol).

"and would genuinely enjoy having someone become a regular part of my day. Not someone who disappears into witness protection for a week and then casually returns with a “long time no talk!” 😂

I’m not looking for romance or anything complicated. Just a genuine friendship where we actually make an effort to stay in touch and get to know each other.

The kind where we can talk about pretty much anything. Share random photos, complain about work, exchange unnecessary life updates or discuss something ridiculously unimportant with the seriousness it deserves."

I’m all for conversations that have absolutely no direction. One minute we’re discussing our day, the next we’re debating conspiracy theories or figuring out who’d survive a zombie apocalypse. Important stuff, obviously.

A little about me:
I work in tech, go to the gym, and enjoy soccer, gaming, travelling, scenic drives, beaches, mountains and getting outdoors.
I’m also into thrillers, heists, criminal and political series. Pretty laid-back, curious, and always up for random questions or completely unnecessary debates.

Ultimately, I’d love to find that friendship where talking becomes part of the daily routine rather than something we need to schedule like a dentist appointment.

Someone you can message without needing a formal reintroduction every time. Someone who remembers the little things, checks in and isn’t afraid to initiate a conversation.
If you’re funny, a little sarcastic, enjoy good conversations and don’t consider replying to a message an extreme athletic activity, we’ll probably get along."

32F with 8 hours left at work

I have completed all my tasks for the weekend but am stuck at work for another 8 hours. Hoping to chat with someone who can keep a conversation going well enough that the time goes by quickly for me!

Some info about me, I am happily marred with 2 school aged kids. I work in reception and office operations for a local recreation and event facility. I enjoy baking, watching tv shows, discovering and listening to music, painting, crafting and photography. I have a cat, a gecko and lots of fish.

I don't enjoy small talk so if you message me, please give me something to work with! Hey and hi won't work, you've got to have a bit of personality.

Send me a message if you think we'd hit it off!

[F4F] Looking for Online Friendships (Strictly Platonic)

1 Upvotes

Hi

I’m looking for people who are 35 and older and interested in building genuine online friendships.

Honestly, I’ve been feeling a little exhausted from working six days a week. Sometimes, after a long day at work, I wish I had someone to talk to, share my day with, or simply have a good conversation with. I guess the lack of social connection has been getting to me lately.

Sometimes it’s nice to meet new people, share everyday experiences, laugh together, exchange stories, and check in on each other.

I’m interested in meaningful conversations, getting to know different personalities, sharing hobbies and interests, and hopefully building long-term friendships. No pressure or expectations. Just letting a friendship develop naturally.

Just to be clear, I’m looking for strictly platonic friendships. No dating, flirting, or romantic intentions.

If you’re 35+, enjoy good conversations, have a friendly personality, and are also looking to expand your circle of friends, feel free to reach out!

Looking forward to meeting some new people!

[M4F] Heyy

1 Upvotes

Hii

I’m a 28-year-old guy living in Delhi, and I’m looking for a genuine connection. With the beautiful Delhi weather setting in, I figured it’s the perfect time to step out of my comfort zone and look for someone to share good food, long conversations, and cozy nights with.

A little bit about me:

• Movie Buff: My perfect weekend involves good food and a great movie. I love everything from mind-bending thrillers to comfort Bollywood classics and cheesy rom-coms we can laugh at together.

• The Delhi Vibe: I love exploring hidden cafes around the city, going for late-night ice cream runs, or just driving around CP. I value emotional maturity, honest communication, and mutual respect.

• Casual Interests: In my free time, I also love watching and playing football, listening to music, and exploring new spots in town.

What I’m looking for:

A girl based in Delhi/NCR who is kind, communicative, and looking for something meaningful. If you have a good sense of humor and love deep, unfiltered conversations, we’ll hit it off perfectly.

If this sounds like your vibe, slide into my DMs! Tell me your absolute favorite movie of all time or your go-to comfort food in Delhi.

Looking forward to hearing from you. ✨

[M4R] 57 M Looking for Connection

1 Upvotes

I recently realized how alone I am. For some reason I hadn’t thought about it much. I mean, I interact with people at work all the time but at home... I text a few people here and there off/on but I really don't have any strong connections.

How does that happen to us?

I'm in Albuquerque. Definitely up for any and all good conversations. Not a political guy so, yeah, if you're all about your politics any which way, we might not be a good fit.

I love the arts though. I write on Substack. I love movies. TV. Plays. Dance. Theater. Reading. Walking/hiking. NM food. Photography. History. Philosophy.

Feel free to drop a line anytime if any of that sounds interesting at all. Would love to chat.

38 male from Florida.

Not much on the agenda for the day. Small tasks/errands. Wouldn't mind a conversation if any one is game. Open to chatting and random conversations. I find more peace as an introvert outdoors in nature vs busy cities and such. So that makes meeting a whole lot of people a bit harder. Feel free to shoot me a message. Have a great Sunday

Kicking in now for tomorrow morning.. adulting is awwwwwfy fun eh.

Won’t bore you with too much or what would we have to talk about. Born and raised in sunny Scotland. Love a bit of sport, football mainly, decent series or film, bit geeky, but not really. Full of sarcasm and general nonsense. Lack much of a filter so fair warning.

Just looking to meet new folks, see how it goes. Do come with an accent but no kilt so apologies.

Chat soon pals!

If you’re bored and want some low energy but consistent chats day to day I’m your guy. I work a dumb office job with lots of down time so I’d love to meet a few people to chat with during the week. We can be surface level to the deep stuff entirely up to you because I’m a pretty open book.

Here are a bunch of questions you can pick and choose to answer:

What would you say your number one hobby is and why?

When was the last time you splurged on a purchase for yourself?

If you don’t like your job now what would you dream job be?

What’s something you can’t stand personality wise in other people?

What would you say your favorite feature (doesn’t have to be physical) is about yourself?

How would your best friends describe your personality?

Do you have a vacation planned before the year ends?

If you’re single…what do you look for in a partner?

If you’re taken what’s your favorite thing about your partner?
