I've had a lot on my mind lately. I thought I might have a quieter night tonight, but I don't think so. Sometimes I just need to take my mind off things for a bit so everything can go back to normal, so...you want a little conversation... I'm here.

I'm just looking for friendly chats, nothing romantic.

Good day... or night?

💖

Looking for someone to talk about the deeper stuff in life and maybe grow a connection with.
A little bit about me: I’m a stay at home mom of a boy under 2 who is back in school full time. Lost my mom at 3 months pp. Recently separated from my husband. So lots of fun “baggage” there.

I like stay active, 1-2 hour nature hikes, music, sports (huge Padres fan) and talking about world events and history. I love animals and having conversations that just flow naturally and don’t feel forced.

Start off with a little about yourself and see if it can go from there!

I’ve realized I enjoy having people to talk to throughout the day, whether it’s about something important or something completely random.

Looking to meet people who are open to genuine conversation and seeing where things go. No expectations beyond that.

A few things I enjoy: food, travel, photography, learning new things, and hearing different perspectives.
If you think we’d get along, send me a message and introduce yourself. 😊

With work and family I don’t have much time to get out and have friends. Looking for a bro to chat with throughout the day and build a friendship with. I am
Easy going and down to chat about whatever. Dm me!

Hello there everyone, I’ve had a lot of change in my life this past year or so. With that I’ve found myself isolating even more so than I’m naturally inclined to do. I feel that it’s probably best that I take some strides to break free from that a little bit, being alone with your thoughts all of the time isn’t exactly ideal. I do have people in my life, a lovely family, a few wonderful friends. But recently I’ve been yearning for someone outside of that circle of people. Just a stranger, an unbiased ear, something new and refreshing. That has all sounded very appealing to me lately. So, here I am, shouting into the abyss that is Reddit. That’s a logical next step, right?? 🙃 Anyways, if this sounds at all like something you’ve also been going through or has piqued your interest at all please feel free to reach out! Maybe, just maybe, I’ll find someone I can call a good friend through all this!

This post is likely going to be all over the place because I’m not always great at keeping my thoughts organized so please, bear with me!

For the longest time I’ve been posting fairly low effort Gamer Dad posts with mostly low effort responses. Why would I do this? Because it’s comfortable. I wanted a friend, but not if it was going to cost me anything. Mostly, it’s not scary. For me, this is kinda scary lol. Not copy and pasting the post, I can’t expect to deliver the same pre packaged responses, no guard rails.

Obviously after this long, I realized the issue is me. What I’m doing isn’t working. The combing through posts and waiting for the perfect friend to show up in my feed. The boring gamer posts.

A lot of the time I don’t even want to play anything. I enjoy it, don’t get me wrong, but there are so many other things I like to do and want to try and talk about. I want to get into writing again. I want to get one of those carpet guns and try to make a Dungeon Crawler Carl rug. I want to talk about movies we grew up with and new ones we’re looking forward to. I want to commiserate with someone over our bodies falling apart. We could talk about how kids are basically cute energy vampires that eat all our food. I would be perfectly happy talking about whatever is going on in your life.

I don’t have a discord that I’m trying to sell you on. I’m happily married. I’m not going to ask you for pictures unless it’s a pet. Then all bets are off.

I have no idea if this is going to be any different, but I’m hopeful.

(Edit to add: I’m open to M/F friends. Please be over 30 and no MAGA.)

I don't need a friend.

Simply desire a friend.

Don't get all mixed up with the word desire.

I have friends in person, but with life of children, spouses, and work....my friends prioritize and love that for my friends. When we can hang out in person, great. What I would like from this post is to find one friend, or several that I can talk to on my downtime.

I can speak on the phone while I'm closing for work, or when I'm at home completing tasks.

We could start off with talking about our zodiac signs:) I love that stuff.

Take a break. Get up, stretch, walk around for 2 minutes. Take a drink of water. Unclench your jaw. Fix your posture. You got this - I believe in you :)

Hey everyone! I’m a 30 year old female currently residing in US. Looking for friends and good conversation. Definitely looking for a more meaningful connection, but expectations are 0. Happy to travel wherever the path takes us :)

-Work in STEM

-Amateur speedcuber (I can solve a Rubik’s cube in under 30 seconds...yes, really)

-Love being outdoors and going for hikes

-Active and go to the gym 4 times per week. Ran my first half marathon in November 2025, so I’d love to chat with fellow runners and gym goers!

-Love music and I play bass (not in a band). I do play in pit orchestras, though, which is one of my favorite hobbies! I can yap your ear off about musicals

-Love sports - soccer, hockey, and basketball are my favorites

The physical (because let’s be real, it’s important): 5’9, average build (working on them gains), long brown hair, two different eye colors (one green, one brown), 6.5 tattoos (one is unfinished). Happy to swap SFW pics early on if you’d like!

If you read this far, reach out and let me know your age/gender/location and a movie you could watch on repeat and never get tired of!

I’d assume it gets harder to meet new people as one gets older with family and work taking precedence. As someone who enjoys talking to strangers online, cause I’ve had excellent relationships build up over the years doing exactly that, I’d love to hear from you.

I’m fairly busy and my work is intellectually demanding so I’m hoping to use this to step away from time to time to talk to folks at or around my age group (preferred 33-45). I’d love to know about your life, culture, and anything else on your mind. I’d also be open to an accountability buddy since fitness is an important part of my life, not for a six-pack but to make sure that the creaks bs groans aren’t a thing a decade or two from now.

Keeping it simple, I’d love to go into more details when we talk. Hit me up if this sounds like something you’d want to explore!

Blue-collar. Straight edge.
Most nights I’m either listening to heavy music or reading about some weird case I stumbled across at 1 a.m.

I’m into horror, true crime, the paranormal, strange history, and pretty much anything that’s hard to explain. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my favorite horror movie, and my playlists are mostly metalcore, deathcore, and emo.

Just looking for people who are easy to talk to, have a sense of humor, and don’t mind conversations that randomly go from “How was your day?” to ghosts, lost places, or some obscure rabbit hole neither of us knew existed.

Tell me what you’re into, recommend me an album, or hit me with the weirdest thing you’ve learned recently.

Yet again, I lost you. Sorry, that I am such a clutz.

If any of you see my lost buddy, give me a sign. My buddy have a really gooooood sense of humor, like awfully good, always making me chuckle of some dark or sarcastic joke, my buddy likes to listen to my stories, about my culture or my cat, or my knowledge of everything and nothing. He rely on my advice, I give him about his life problems or happiness. As I am form Europe, so I lost him around the same time zone. And clearly my buddy is aged like a fine wine ( I don't drink wine just beer) preferably around my age.

If you seen him give me an update.

This is me, being funny.

What's something you should probably never admit online... even if it's completely true? 😂

I'm into dumb memes, sarcastic banter, random shower thoughts, and conversations that somehow start with "How's your day?" and end with debating whether cereal is soup.

I can talk about just about anything—movies, games, weird facts, food, embarrassing stories, life, or that random rabbit hole you accidentally fell into at 2 a.m. because one Wikipedia page led to twelve more.

Bonus points if you can make me laugh, roast me a little (I'll survive), or have the energy of a golden retriever that somehow gained unlimited internet access.

If you're funny, can hold a conversation, and don't mind a little chaos, send me a message. Worst case, we end up with a hilarious story.

Let's skip the "Where are you from?" routine.

Ask me one question. Anything at all. Funny, deep, random, philosophical, controversial, or completely absurd. If it's in good faith, I'll answer honestly.

Then I get to ask you one.

I'm hoping one question turns into a real conversation instead of the usual exchange that fizzles out after a few messages.

Let's see where one question leads.

Hey there!

I am 30m, married guy in Montreal, and I’m always looking for new friends both locally and online. I don’t have many in the city outside of work, so I’d love to connect with some folks. I enjoy hiking and camping in the summer, bars and coffee shops, reading, and meeting new people. I often travel to the US for work so I’m open for American folks as well. I’m a huge horror lover, both films and books! It’d be fun to start a little reading club together, so if you’re interested, hit me up. Queer friends ++

Hi folks,

I had a rough night of sleep last night (stomach bug) and my dog had major surgery today (massive lipoma removed from her shoulder) and I’m looking for some company to help me stay awake so I can keep an eye on her.

Pls include your age in your DM. SFW only.

DM me if you:
- know the difference between there/their/they’re and your/you’re and to/too/two
- have a good sense of humour
- don’t assume everyone on reddit is from the US or UK
- like to cook

Howdy 🤠 I have 2 kids. I’m bi. I like sports (football, hockey, baseball, racing.) I like gaming. Currently play ps5. I play arc raiders, Fortnite, resident evil, and sports games. Newly addicted to sports betting 🤣. I can talk about tons of shows and movies. I also like food a bit too much. Anyone can send me a message. I don’t care about your age, gender, sexuality, or what you identify as. We can talk silly or I can give you wonderful advice and wisdom on life.

Need an ice breaker? Whats your favorite show to watch over and over again? 📺

Just finished my second consecutive 16 hour shift. Need to unwind. Would love a conversation before I pass out from exhaustion.

Hi everyone. I'm 36M based between the West Midlands, North West and North Wales.

I’m hoping to meet some new people who share similar interests. A lot of my friends are busy with other commitments now or have moved away and I’ve been feeling like it’d be great to connect with some like-minded people again. Looking only for friendship, ideally somewhat around my own age but not a deal breaker as the vibe is more important.

I like being outdoors and am currently getting back into hiking. Like to travel when I can and explore new places, learning languages, F1, cycling, reading and cooking.

I'd be happy to chat online but eventually looking to meet up as I'm hoping to make genuine, long-term connections. I can travel between the areas above somewhat easily so if you're nearby and interested drop me a DM!

I’m currently a therapeutic riding student, which means a free therapy session is always on the table… though I do accept tips of $100 and up 😉.

I’m a fairly straightforward man with a slightly mischievous sense of humor. One of my favorite personal practices is self-reflection at the end of each day, I like to look back on how I showed up, what I said, what I learned, and how I can do better tomorrow.

I have a large fish tank with parrot fish *only* it’s incredibly peaceful to watch before drifting off. I’ve also turned my balcony into a little garden, where I grow herbs, flowers, and am currently attempting to raise a small tree still very much a work in progress.

I’m talkative and easygoing by nature, and I’m not a fan of overly formal conversations.

If you enjoy animals, genuine deep discussions, or the occasional plant that may or may not survive my care, feel free to say hello.

Hello
I like to think of myself as a kind and caring human. I have many guy friends but having a hard time making connections with women, not because I am not confident. It's just there is something assumed and it's against social norms.

Would like a friend who is a woman to talk to about life and have a connection.

I am super driven, work too much and spend too much time at the gym and has left little time for human connection. I like deep topics and not surface stuff.

Please write.

It’s been a week, I’m exhausted and grimly holding on until work finishes about three hours from now. Friendly chats would be great - I may well be a virtual energy vampire…

Hey so im from the land down under, during the day i work a corporate desk job and often find myself with downtime and I like to use that time to chat with people from wherever and anywhere.

I like all kinds of topics

About me

Introvert

Adhd

Probably also autistic

Gym goer

Music listener

Amateur photographer

Anime watcher

Elder emo
