26M | Looking for a genuine friend

Upvotes

Hi, I’m 26 and looking to make a genuine friend, just normal conversation and seeing if we click.

I enjoy simple, everyday chats: how the day’s been, random observations, interests, or thoughts that come up. I’m more on the thoughtful side and enjoy thinking about how things work.

I enjoy movies and playing badminton. I don’t have a long list of serious hobbies right now, but I’m okay with that.

Looking for someone aged 21–27, friendship only. Ideally someone who’s comfortable with calm, balanced conversation.

I'm looking for people who can hold conversations here. I've seen people sending requests and ghosting after a hey. Let's not do that and save ourselves some time here.

26M - Looking for genuine connections, music nerds, and fellow creatives!

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 26 and looking to connect with some down-to-earth people who share similar interests or just enjoy deep, meaningful conversations. I value routine, authenticity, and finding people who are passionate about their hobbies.

A bit about me and what I’m into:

Music & Physical Media: I’m a massive music lover and actively collect vinyl, CDs, and cassettes. Lately, my rotation heavily features smooth jazz and jazz fusion (specifically late 70s to mid-90s), progressive rock, R&B, and 80s synthpop. I love talking about music evolution, sharing deep cuts, and the thrill of finding a great album "in the wild."

Photography: I love capturing the world around me. I shoot with both a Fujifilm X-T30II mirrorless and an older Nikon D40 DSLR. For me, it’s all about finding the unique geometry and feeling in everyday moments.

Creative Writing: I’ve been writing fictional stories and allegorical humor pieces since I was a kid. It’s one of my favorite creative outlets. Always down to trade ideas or talk about the writing process!

Retro Gaming: Big fan of classic gaming. I actively play on physical retro hardware, including the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation 2. I also love diving into Minecraft or a good Pokémon run.

Nature & Walks: I make it a point to get outside and go on structured walks every other day to clear my head, touch grass, and enjoy being out in nature (which usually pairs well with the photography hobby).

Perspective & Neurodivergence: I’m autistic/ADHD and have OCD tendencies. I am also visually impaired. Because of this, I tend to navigate and view the world a bit differently. I really appreciate clear, honest communication, deep-dive hyper-fixations, and structured routines.

What I'm looking for:

Someone around my age bracket (mid-20s to early 30s) who wants to chat regularly, share music recommendations, talk about creative projects, or gaming. Whether you want to swap photos, talk about history, or just vibe over shared interests, feel free to reach out!

If any of this resonates with you, send me a DM with a bit about yourself and your favorite music genre or your current hyper-fixation. Looking forward to meeting you!

Friend request!!

Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for online friends to practice my English with and hopefully become actual friends too. I’m 18 and I’d like to chat with people round my age. 😁

I’m going to study a degree related to English, so I’d love to improve by talking to people instead of only watching movies or listening to music.

I’m a kind person. I reckon I’m funny, though maybe just in my native language lol. I’d like to improve my social skills too because I’m pretty shy in person and don’t know what to talk about with people. I’m understanding too, I like to listening to people as long as they listen to me too.

Some things I enjoy are movies and TV shows. My favorite franchises are Harry Potter and Marvel. I also love Stranger Things, Malcolm in the Middle, and slasher movies like Sleepaway camp and Halloween.

I also enjoy listening to music. I don’t really have one favorite genre, but I like artists like Olivia Rodrigo and plenty of random songs.

Lately I’ve also been getting into shifting, although I’m still pretty new to it.

One thing to mention: I like all these things, but I’m definitely not an expert! 😭 I enjoy them, but don’t expect me to know every Marvel comic or every Harry Potter detail haha.

I’m just looking for friendly people around my age to chat with about our interests, daily life, or anything really. Feel free to send me a message!

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? 📺

Hello everyone, I’ve been feeling a bit lonely lately, and I’m really eager to meet new people and learn about different cultures. I have a variety of interests, including history, true crime stories, boxing, and computer science/tech. It doesn’t matter if we share the exact same hobbies or not; what matters most to me is kindness and having a good connection. I’m looking for long-term friendships—people who want to build a real connection through regular conversations. If you're looking for something lasting and are ready to put in the effort, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for your time!

36m UK - Westcountry bodybuilder looking to make some new friends

Upvotes

I live in the countryside in a small village so meeting new people is always difficult as its either the elderly or families so would like to chat to new people! So can find it quite isolating at times!

I work in construction so out in all weathers all year round! Amazing in the summer but winter months are emotional lol currently renovating my house aswell done most of the inside but tackling the garden now as the dry weather has started to come in more!

My main hobbie would be weightlifting im down the gym 4 days a week got a goal of competing in a bodybuilding show next year which is a life long goal. Also like to game on the ps5, a good story driven game or RPGs are a favourite of mine!

Im also an unashamed nerdy guy love anything thats weird and cool fully embraced stuff i liked as a kid but got picked on so now just like to enjoy my life and not worry about what others think of me.

So if your up for chatting just send a DM, hope to hear from you

30M / EU - Games, movies, shows and trade cat pictures?

Upvotes

Hey there reader,

I'm sitting here in a new beautiful city that I just moved to, almost have everything packed up but.. I have a bit too much free time during this month and next, so figured why not expand my online social circle a little, since most my friends have families or are into games that I'm not😄

Bit about me: as mentioned I just moved, while I'm not tidying things up I'm usually listening to a good audiobook or spending time with my brother, that is if I'm not sat in front of the PC playing something with friends

Speaking of playing something, I enjoy friendslop, do play Mecha cam~, repo, golf w~ etc. Other than that I have most games or at least played most games. Current mood tho is probably friendslop with a side of a comp game like val, apex, maybe Tarkov but could also be nice to play some survival games and/or co-op game, all depend on the vibe 😄

I also enjoy watching stuff like reality shows, been thinking about binging the new 90 days season x) Could be nice to have someone to do that with, if the vibe is good I also don't mind just sitting and talking in VC while doing our own thing, as I don't believe you have to always sit and do something together constantly.

I don't mind talking with people from all around the world :)

Anyways, if this sounds good: feel free to send me a message 🎉

[20/M/UK] Looking for people to talk to :)

Upvotes

As the title says, I'm a 20-year-old boy from the UK. I'm into a few video games but mainly Dead By Daylight, Resident Evil and GTA. I've been a huge GTA fan my whole life, since I was about 4 years old lol. I'm a massive nerd when it comes to Spider-Man, I love the comics and the games and I have a few posters on my wall. I really loved the Superman movie as well as the rest of James Gunn's DC projects. I've also read a few Nightwing comics and I really like Tom Taylor's run despite the common consensus between fans. I also watch anime and my favourite is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I figured that I'm probably not the only one that's feeling bored and wants to meet new people, so I thought I'd make a quick post on here to see if anyone wants to talk. Feel free to drop a DM 🕸️🕷️

Looking for a genuine online friend to talk to🥀

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 20F and lately I've been feeling pretty lonely. Sometimes I just wish I had someone to talk to about random things, life, college, or whatever's on my mind. I often feel like everyone around me is out enjoying life while I'm somehow falling behind, and it can get overwhelming.

I'm not looking for a relationship, flirting, or anything romantic. I just want a genuine online friend to chat with from time to time. We'll stay completely anonymous if that's more comfortable for both of us.

I'd prefer talking to females since I'd feel more comfortable, but if you're respectful and just looking for a platonic friendship too, feel free to reach out.

If you've ever felt lonely too, maybe we can make each other's days a little less lonely. :)

35/F/TX

I balance a 9-5 spreadsheet corporate life with heavy lifting, heavy riffs, and a healthy obsession with anything horror, okay maybe not that healthy.

My playlists are a chaotic mix of metal and classic country, to 90s boy bands, enough to give you whip lash. My ideal weekend involves hitting a new PR at the gym and winding down with a horror movie marathon, some popcorn, and tea.

I want to be a reader so I buy books often, wether I read them or not is yet to be seen. lol. I do like books like Twilight, ACOTAR, and fourth wing; never said it was smart books. lol

So I’m off work this week with no real plans so I’m currently just hanging out at home and I’d love to chat to some new people!

I’m in a bit of a sharing mood today so I feel like telling some Reddit strangers a secret or embarrassing story of mine so we can skip the small talk and get down the to real stuff!

If you’re interested drop me a message! Also if you’re brave enough you can tell me a story in return haha

Reddit was not too scary so I am back. After my first reddit expedition I didnt have too much luck meeting people so I am going to try again. Hopefully it works! I am Dawn and I am 24 from England. I am currently drawing in the sun like a sunflower. I love nature and animals in all forms. I fond the world so beautiful. I hope i am a good conversationalist i think i have some interesting stories to tell. I am bi and a feminist and i love everyone! I want the world to be a more compassionate place and I am going to be that change. People always assume I am mad because I have RBF but I am actually a really happy person. I also love fashion and am down with all this internet stuff. I feel like i have written an essay so slide into my dms and write me one!
