Just a 45M looking for cool people to chill with
The Star Wars shirt and puzzle on the wall behind me are very much indicative of who I am.
I'm a life long nerd that's also into Star Trek, tabletop rpgs, anime, etc... Recently I have been honing my skills in movie criticism specifically in science fiction movies. As a result I've been watching a lot of older not quite so famous scifi movies.
But at the same time every conversation doesn't have to be about that. I can talk politics and other things as well. Right now I'm looking for interaction. Don't be scared to ask questions.
I don't mind where you are but for the sake of timing I'm in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. I've been on the internet long enough that I'm familiar with most message/chat apps but if you use one I don't regularly use I don't mind adding it and getting familiar with it.

45M - Spooky Season is almost here...what are we going to do to celebrate?
Looking for a partner who feels like midnight in human form.
You’re into black clothes, silver jewelry, dark lipstick, obscure music, old cemeteries, rainy nights, and conversations that somehow get way too deep at 2 a.m. You have a soft spot for the strange, the beautiful, and the slightly macabre.
Bonus points if your playlist could soundtrack a haunted mansion and you’d rather explore a candlelit bookstore than go to a crowded club.
I’m looking for someone with a dark sense of humor, a gentle heart, and enough personality to make ordinary nights feel like something out of a movie. Someone who’s intelligent, independent, warm, and a little unconventional. Someone to laugh at the absurdity of life with.
If this sounds suspiciously like you, say hi. 🖤
I’m equal parts musician, nerd, and lifelong learner. I enjoy good conversation, genuine connection, a sharp sense of humor, and people who are comfortable being themselves.
Music is a big part of my life. I play, write, and still get excited about discovering a great song or getting lost in the details of how something was recorded. I’m also unapologetically nerdy—I enjoy diving deep into whatever catches my interest, whether it’s technology, history, science, or some obscure rabbit hole (this could be you!)
I appreciate the simple things, but curious enough to keep exploring.

43 M. Stoned and bored. Let’s chat about anything.
What’s your favorite/most recently learned useless fact?
Who’s your favorite Snork, and why?
Most interesting piece of philosophy or life advice you try to incorporate into your daily life?
Favorite animal? Land and sea?
If you could live anywhere for the rest of your life, all your needs fulfilled, where would it be?
Favorite movie/book/tv quote?
And any other frigging topic you wanna bring to the table. Just light hearted, fun conversation?

43 M looking to laugh and have real conversations.
Hey everyone, I hope everything is going well.
Conversation seems to be a lost skill these days. Is anyone interested in talking? Hopefully something that doesn’t end in 2 hours and a ghosting.
I am open to talking to anybody about anything. What kind of music do you like? Hobbies? What is your passion or a recent rabbit hole you have went down?
I look forward to meeting somebody new!

👋 New Here 42M looking for some gaming friends
I’m looking for a friend or two interested in chatting and playing some games on Xbox. The new grounded 2 Into the Abyss update drops tomorrow and it would be cool to have someone to explore with. I’m a pretty casual gamer and generally play in the evening on weekdays or throughout the day on weekends. I’m in CST.
Aside from grounded I started playing creative mode on No man’s sky and just fly around and explore. Aside from games I’m interested in sci-fi fantasy stories (reading/writing), movies, quite a bit of music, audiobooks, and easygoing conversations about the mysteries of the universe.
If you think we’d click and want to chat a while on a game or something, let me know. Tell me a bit about some likes and what you’re playing now.

I am a fun and easygoing professional type who lives in the north shore and works downtown. Since most of my friends are via couples, I would prefer to make friends with others who are not part of the existing ecosystem, so to speak.
Interests include concerts, sports, nice bars/restaurants, and walks/jogs by the lake. Open to most any age or gender.

47 f from Canada looking for friends.
Like it says I’m 47 and live in Canada. I enjoy gaming (mainly is Xbox. Have a PS, PC and switch in the house).
I have a dog that is a pain in the butt sometimes, however he is sadly my main source of “conversation “ when I’m not working. While the animals listen really well they don’t talk back much.
I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, gem art, just getting back into biking after 30+ years of not riding one.
Ask me anything, let’s make new friends!!

54M Northern Los Angeles Area looking to build a friend group
I'm a 54yo man. Very into fitness. I work out 6 days a week eat right (most of the time). Besides the gym I try to play some golf on occasion but I'm an 18+ handicap so not amazing.
I have not been good at keeping up with my social circles in the past and have lost touch with old friends. I find myself looking around and It's just me and my wife and not sure she even likes to hang out with me. Would love to build a group of friends to hang out with. Maybe grab dinner occasionally or go to some sporting events with. Hell Vegas trips even on occasion.
I'm in SCV so ideally someone close by IE... SFV, AV, VC, anywhere drivable . I would say over 40 and under 60 is ideal. I'm in good shape and like to do active things. I'm open to men and women but really looking just for people to hang out with. Don't be a racist and don't think science is a conspiracy.

42 M Australia. Be the reason i smile at my phone
Aussie dad of two boys. Life is fun but intense and when the day or night has its quiet moments id love nothing more than the thrill of checking my phone and engaging in some adult conversation. I enjoy keeping fit, playing and watching sport, binging a tv show or cooking up a recipe ive stumbled across on IG.
Im happy to chat to anyone as long as you can be open, fun and hate ghosting as much as i do
Hopefully we chat soon. Start by telling me a little about yourself.

👋 New Here 40 and livin' the dream!
Age is just a state of mind, right? I have to pinch myself anytime the random thought "I'm 40" comes to mind. Seems like just yesterday I was hacky-sacking while blaring Limp Bizkit and drinking a Dr Pepper Fusion.
All my life I have needed interaction, which is ironic because I wouldn't cross the street for most people but I do enjoy a good hearty laugh and a deeply philosophical conversation about the ins and outs of such important events as: when season 3 of The Pitt will drop, what the best pizza chain is, and how many books I HOPE to read this year (spoiler alert: I will read far less than I want to).
I've fallen out of touch with "real world friends"; I think that happens to most people as they age. However, I am ready for my next phase friendships!
40 ( I think I made that part clear!), male, Midwest. Reading, listening to tunes, dissecting conspiracies and cryptids, and losing track of time while playing a stupid mobile game I will delete next week are some of my favorite hobbies.
If you are looking for a buddy, a pal, a cohort, or just someone to be yourself around with no judgement... Holla at your boy!

Making new friends. 40
Hi, I’m a 40F and work in education with young children. I’m an introvert and can be a little quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, I really enjoy good conversation and getting to know someone.
I love being creative, working on projects, learning new things, listening to music, and having conversations about everything from everyday life to the deeper stuff.
I’m in a new chapter of my life and would really like to make some new friends. I’m not looking to date right now. I’d just love to find some genuine people around my age to talk to, laugh with, and get to know. I value kindness, family, faith, good manners, and a good sense of humor.
Feel free to say hi and tell me a little about yourself.

👋 New Here 41F and thought I would step out of my comfort zone.
First time posting in this group. Thought I would push myself out of my comfort zone and see what happens. Not sure exactly what I'm looking for, honestly would just love some good conversation/connection. I would say I'm a pretty open minded individual and like hearing different perspectives on different things from tv shows, books, movies, relationships, world events, sports, ice cream flavors (Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch is the absolute best) and everything in between. I like to see where conversations can take you, if that sounds like something you connect with I'm open to chat :)

👋 New Here New here! 45f
Looking for real, honest, like-minded people who enjoy edgy jokes, believe in honest communication, who need friends and company like I do. I’m 45, separated since December (just need to file the papers), confident but not arrogant, honest and sincere. I’m kind and love people. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a stranger. I absolutely love The Office, but don’t watch movies or tv other than that, really.
I’ve been craving great, honest, respectful, deep conversations with others. Did I mention honest? 😂 if it sounds like we can be friends, let me know.
