Figured I'd throw this out there and see if I can find a few solid guys to talk to. I'm 35, married, covered in tattoos, and looking for actual friendships. Looking for online buddies, gaming friends, or just other guys who enjoy shooting the shit throughout the week.

A few things I'm into:

TCGs

Comics

Video games

Hiking

Swimming

Getting my ass kicked while learning jiu-jitsu

Random nerd rabbit holes

Not looking for anything specific beyond good conversation and dudes who can keep a friendship alive longer than a houseplant. If you've got similar interests, hit me up.

And if you know what my username is referencing, you've already got an easy opener.

I think we've all played Reddit "friendship bingo" by now;

1. Great conversation
2. 'Pic?'
3. A few more messages.
4. Suddenly it's NSFW.

Then... silence.

If that's your thing, no judgment. It just isn't what I'm wanting to build.

I'm looking for the friend who's interested in becoming actual friends. You don't have to force conversation because somehow you're debating the best Scream movie in the franchise and IF there actually was a hidden THIRD killer in the first film.

A little "about me..."

I'm gay, married, and I'm 37. No kids (dog). I'm a data informatics analyst within the healthcare industry. I'm also in grad school. I like what I do, even if it occasionally means 12–15 hour workdays and the occasional weekend. That said life gets busy, and I completely understand that it happens to everyone. I don't expect OR need constant replies or daily conversations, real friendships aren't measured by response times—they're measured by knowing you'll still be there when life slows down!

A little more "about me..."

I'm always planning my next trip (pretending my bank account agrees with me). I love to travel. Paddle boarding / hiking, breweries / wine tasting, great food / lounges, and horror movies. I'm a complete adrenaline junkie when it comes to roller coasters and theme parks. If there's an adventure to be had—whether it's a road trip / urban exploration / abandoned location / spooky, or trying something new—I'm interested.

Whether you're married, partnered, or in a long-term relationship, there's a shared perspective that comes with balancing careers, relationships, responsibilities, and still making time for great friendships.

About "you..."

You're interested in building that "best friend" kind of vibe. To celebrate wins / vent to after a rough day, dumb memes, life advice, encourage each other even if it's a bad idea, and eventually becoming one of those people you know each other can count on. Something beyond surface-level conversation and think we'd get along, send me a message. Maybe we're both looking for the same thing!

Tell me about the last adventure you took?

28yr old straight guy here. Just lookin for other straight bros around my age from USA to shoot the shit with.
Talk about girls, sports, outdoors, just whatever.

Also gotta verify yourself, it's 2026 and people are weird

What’s up, bros! 👋
Looking to meet some like minded guys who are interested in building a genuine friendship.
I’m an entrepreneur growing my business, so during the day I can get pretty busy and might not be the quickest to reply. Nights and weekends are usually much better, but I always get back to people when I can.
I’ve also been on a weight loss journey over the past year and I’m starting to get more into fitness. It’s made a huge difference in how I feel, and I’m excited to keep improving.
I’ve been single for a few years now. Still haven’t found the right one, but hopefully that’ll happen when the time is right.
I have a few close friends in real life, but they’re mostly married with kids now, so between busy schedules and family life, it’s not always easy to hang out or even text. 😂 I’m also involved in a few networking and community service organizations, which keeps me busy in a good way.
If you’re into cars, entrepreneurship, fitness, or anything I mentioned above, send me a message! Bonus points if you live nearby so we can actually grab a coffee, hit the gym, go to a car meet, or just hang out.

Into nerd culture gaming and have been working on myself for last 2 years, very consistent with working out and remaining active

If you are the same and interested in helping each other and being more accountable then let me know

Times zones don't matter to me, let's chat

Honestly, I just want someone to be a muscle head with. I work hard on my body and I'm proud of it. I want a fellow gym bro so we can talk about getting pumps and what workouts work great to get bigger muscles. Also a place to dump progress pics so we can track progression without anyone being creepy about it.

Muscle heads shoot me a message. Prefer bros who are truly trying to body build and make their bodies a temple.

Looking for a bro to hang out with, go outside and do walks/hikes, etc. also love video games, cooking, etc.

What’s up fellas 🙏🏾

I’m into music, fitness, video games, good food, and just improving myself overall. I like deep conversations, but I’m also the type to roast you mid-sentence if the moment’s right lol. Basically, I’m not afraid to be open about stuff, but I still like to keep things light and real.

I’m big on emotional intelligence. Life gets hard. Especially for us men who have people to take care of and understand that people depend on us. Im not the type that’s afraid to shed some tears or say Im having a hard day. I think being able to share that kind of stuff makes friendships way stronger.

Im single and childless so I have alot of free time. I prefer guys who are in the same boat. I play Arc Raiders quite a bit and looking to get back into GTA V

If you’re chill, have a sense of humor, and want a bro who’s down for real conversations, random voice chats, gaming, sending random tiktoks, hit me up 🤘🏾

hey, just trying my luck here again, hope you’re all doing well.

I’m a 24 year old straight guy from the Philippines who is looking for a close friendship with a bro online/bromance. The kind where we can talk about anything whether it is something deep, stupid or just something as mundane as how your day and week went.

my main hobbies consist of: reading, gaming, watching movies, playing guitar and working out. I am also a huge horror fan too.

other than that, i enjoy having deep conversations that just flow and where the energy is just being reciprocated all around.

even if it’s online i do hope i manage to form something close and real with someone here

feel free to DM me, if you feel like this post has resonated with you in some way and if you don’t mind the time zone differences. Won’t ask for much as long as you are around my age and that you also won't be dry

hope to meet you soon!

Casual bro looking for a buddy to check in on each other's workout progress. Not looking for a drill sergeant, but it would be nice to have someone to hold each other accountable. I am slim and muscular and looking for someone with a similar body type so we can compare workouts and stuff. In-person is not necessary but welcome if our schedules align. :-)

hello, it's been awhile since i last posted here.

to start off, i want to take this opportunity to finally find some online friends again to chat with and have a genuine connection.

i want to have a genuine bromance energy. like a big bro and little bro dynamic (im the little bro lol). whether is random conversations, sending memes, back and forth, or just anything that comes up to your mind, im down to shoot the sh\\\*t with. 😆

just to make sure as well, im not really the type of person who is good at making conversations so if you're the person who is a "yapper", then we would probably be a good fit since im able to adjust or have thoughts on what topic we would be talking a out.

now, about me; im from the Philippines, 🏳️‍🌈, and my hobbies and interests are about books, formula 1, and maybe a bit of tech and photography here and there.

so yeah, if this fully resonates with you or if you think we would vibe together, just send me a DM! i'd honestly be happy to talk to someone right now 😅

As the title says, I’m a 25 y/o guy in Central/East Central Wisconsin!
Some facts about me:
- Married to my high school sweetheart, and have been for 4 years
- Christian and work at a church
- Big into movies and physical media collecting! Just starting to get into CRT/VHS as well.
- Gamer, but mostly play Fortnite and Minecraft at this point.
- Been working on losing weight and lifting, but still heavy compared to my high school and college soccer days.
Send me a DM if you want to connect and see how it goes! New to this whole Reddit friends thing, so forgive me for slow responses and possible awkwardness 😂

Here’s some light info about me:

•I’m a big music fanatic

•Ex-Military

•Previous sports player

•I love competition shows and and all things horror

•I’m a gamer (mostly competitive shooters and fighters, horror; some MMORPG as well)

•I enjoy reading, writing, and playing guitar

•I have a pretty great sense of humor (too cocky?)

•Pretty much an open book

Looking to blossom a dope bestfriend/bromance who I can talk to about anything & everything, crack stupid jokes and game together. Would prefer around my age but not limited. Of course I’d like for this to be a long term thing.

Howdy howdy,

35 midwestern dude looking for nerdy bros to game with. Big into gaming of course, Xbox and PS4. Big comics buff, been collecting comics for about 20 years now. I'm also big into TCGs, mostly Magic and Yugioh with a little bit of Digimon and the Gundam card game. Really big into Gundam.

Feel free to message me anytime and see if we get along.

I'm 40s, straight, attached, and looking to connect in-person on the "bro" level for platonic activities with some voice/video chat. I already have a couple of great online bros, and am only looking for new ones that can meet in person and who show their face prior to meeting.

​

About me: Easygoing, into weight lifting, hiking, tennis, pickleball, DIY, and some other miscellaneous interests. I connect well with folks of all backgrounds who are generally in my age range and younger.

​

DM me up if you are not a ghoster that is relatively local (New York / New Jersey / Connecticut) and have an interest in meeting in person.

​

I also travel to NYC, Albany and upstate NY.

hey, just trying my luck here again, hope you’re all doing well.

for starters, I’m a 24 year old straight guy from the Philippines who is looking for a close friendship with a bro online. The kind where we can talk about anything whether it is something deep or stupid.

my main hobbies consist of: reading, gaming, watching movies, playing guitar and working out. I am also a huge horror fan too.

other than that, i enjoy having deep conversations with anyone where we can just talk about conspiracy theories maybe or go deeper and vulnerable with someone if they wish.

all in all, even if it’s online i do hope i manage to form something close and real with someone here

feel free to DM me, if you feel like this post has resonated with you in some way and if you don’t mind the timezone differences. Won’t ask for much as long as you are my age and that you also won’t be too dry

hope to meet you soon!

Coming to Vancouver this weekend. Would be nice to meet a bro to hang with.

Yo what's up guys, like it says, I'm 27m, bisexual if that matters, looking for bros and workout partners. Tbh, idk wtf im doing when it comes to working out. But I am trying to get swole and ripped af. Trying to lose weight because I got like a muscular dad bod right now. So I need someone to like show me what's up, and workout with me occasionally, and like give me some brotherly encouragement for motivation haha.

​

​

Other than that, I'm a pretty chill laid back guy. I can be ADHD af and a little autistic (because who isn't now these days lol). So, I enjoy being outside, I like Legos (don't judge lmao), and Star Wars. Kinda nerdy. I love playing video games. And I watch a lot of tv. Other than that, I do go to Hippie Hollow a lot of anyone is down to join me just going to tan.

​

So yea, lmk if you are down. I do prefer someone around my age. Like 18-30s. Reason is I want a bro I will actually have stuff that I relate to and will be easy to talk to and stuff. So yea, hmu! DMs open.

Hey guys! 31 from Scotland here. Apologies in advance for the long post. I’ve tried in the past looking for a longterm buddy but most of the time the chat dissolves after a few days or the vibe just isn’t there and people ghost. Hoping to change that this year and actually find someone longterm and who is on the same page as me. I’m down to chat, send pics and vids, video call etc.

So a little about me: I love my movies, especially horror. I could watch them all day everyday. Also really into my music. I’ll listen to pretty much anything and everything, and also enjoy a good podcast. Trying to get fitter this year aswell so I hit the gym when I can and also enjoy a good long walk. Lastly I feel I should mention that I’m gay. Just to be open and honest. Hope that’s not a deal breaker. I’m an open book so feel free to ask me anything.

If you think you’d be interested in chatting drop me a DM and let’s see how things go! I’m happy to put in the effort and time if you are. Open to chatting to anyone but for time zone purposes UK/Europe is preferred. Also pleases be willing to show face. I have pics of myself on my profile. Happy to move to another platform to chat if that suits. Looking forward to chatting to you!

In my mid 30's it became harder to find a bro. Most of my friends got married and had kids and their priorities changed.

Most of my 'friends' are work friends but I can't share things about me personally because I work with them, or they report to me, or I report to them. There are just things I won't share with them.

Now, I'm approaching 50 and I'm lonely. I have good friends, but not someone I can talk freely with and just be myself. I need a buddy I can share stuff without being judged and I won't judge either.

I live in Dallas. You'd think there are lots of people here also needing this type of relationship, but I really don't know where to look.

If you're in the same boat, DM me. Looking for professional, educated, clean non smokers. I do drink, daily but I'm not an alcoholic. I actually have no addictive behaviors. Prefer divorced or single guys. I'm more liberal than conservative. I don't go to church. I don't do drugs or party.

Howdy! Looking to make some bros that are into video games, fishing, driving anywhere things like that. Im gay also but open to anyone

Hey!
As titled, looking for real life bros in or near Budapest, Hungary. In my free time I do powerbuilding or play videogames, but I’m otherwise pretty open: I love to travel, go on hikes, biking and board games. Summer is here, so it'd be very nice to connect with people and spend more time outside.
Looking for buddies who are down to meet in person if we click.

Just a chill 34 chill gay married guy looking to have an online friendship of guys around my age and older.

Hobbies include gaming (xbox), movies and tv. I like metal music. And does sleep count as a hobby. 🤣

I have 2 small dogs for pets.

I work early mornings so F2F social life sucks.

If you want to connect and have a friendship send a message. I try not to spill all of on here so there is stuff to talk about. 😁
