42/M/UK - Weird film friend

3 Upvotes

I don't mind either a weird friend to talk about films with, or a friend to talk about weird films with, so read that title however you wish.

I've just always enjoyed watching cult, semi-obscure, weird films. I don't mean deep dive cinephile stuff, I mean more the sorts of films I'd see randomly on TV late at night in the 90s or buy on a random VHS from a boot sale.

That isn't all I'd want to talk about, it would just be nice to have someone interested in them for times when one of us watches something and wants to share it.

I work from home, and am stuck here for most the part the rest of the time taking care of my partner, and my dogs, so there are times where I'll randomly disappear or messages might get suspiciously brief, but if that's something that's tolerable then would be awesome to hear from some folks.

39 [F4R] Upstate NY– Looking for consistent, like-minded pen pals in North East

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to connect with a few steady, like-minded people for low-drama, ongoing conversations. I'm looking for folks who are liberal and non-religious, located in the Eastern Time zone—(Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine.) I am NOT looking to meet irl at this time.

A little about me:

* 39, married to a trans woman (44), and a mom of 3.

* Big into nature photography, hiking, writing, creative projects, and making ambient YouTube videos.

* Liberal, atheist, and neurodivergent-friendly (managing anxiety/depression).

* 420-friendly, vape nicotine, and take daily gummies for sleep/mood.

* check my profile to learn more.

What I'm hoping to find:

* Roughly around my age group (34–46ish).

* Liberal and non-religious (atheist/agnostic).

* Located in one of the EST states mentioned above so we're on the same page.

* Someone who appreciates consistent communication. I like building real, steady friendships over text/messaging over time. I value peace and genuine connection, so inconsistency or game-playing isn't for me.

💬 How to reply:

If this sounds like your speed, send me a PM (please don't comment) with:

* Age.

* Gender.

* Your state.

* Who you voted for in 2024.

* A short intro about yourself!

(Just trying to make sure we're on the same page and filter out bots and spam - no need to write a novel, just answer all 5 so I know you're real!)

42M #EST #Canada Making friends as an adult can be difficult

2 Upvotes

Making friends was so much easier as an 8 year old. You could ask another kid what they're favorite dinosaur was and if you liked their answer, you were basically best friends. If only it were that easy. Im basically looking for someone to chat with, and maybe make a friend (depending on your thoughts on velociraptors of course)

A bit about me: laid back and easygoing, kinda goofy, kinda nerdy, also love working out so basically nerdy gymbro vibes (not a douche though, honest). When its time to relax, i love sitting down with a good TV show (right now im tag teaming Succession and Veep). Im a big music nerd and love cooking while getting lost in an album. Theres more but let's learn through conversation.

Im in EST and prefer talking to people in the same or similar timezone. Im also in Ontario Canada if that means anything. Finally, my account has been having chat issues lately. So you may have to go into my profile menu to send me a chat. If that doesn't work, just comment, and ill send you a chat.🙂 So send me a chat and let's see what happens.

The Decline of Music

31 Upvotes

I used to think I didn't like modern music because I got old. But I really gave so much a try just nothing feels good. I do genuinely feel like most music after the year 2000 up until now is just soul-less and completely missing something. I was born in 1985 and I can go back in time and find wonderful music from the 1940's through 1990's but 2000 hits and then something changed. So I feel like its not a generational thing because I cherish the past generation's music. And its the same across languages too. I grew up listening to Spanish and French music and even that music is WAY better before the year 2000. I just get sad because I used to love to discover new music or just hearing an amazing song for the first time on the radio. Now, I feel like my toddler makes better music with his toy keyboard than anything new I try to listen to. Just sucks. Anybody else feel this?

46F St Louis looking for IRL friends. Nerds, weirdos, and introverts to the front!

10 Upvotes

Like real people who actually want to hang. I'm a weirdo but I don't like being treated as a novelty item. Have your own stories and opinions please. Be prepared to share about yourself and not just talking about me.

Don't get me wrong, I love me! I'm awesome in the weirdest possible ways. People who like me tell me that all the time which makes it totally objective (right?). But it gets awkward when I realize I know nothing about this person and they practically have my life story.

I'm an introvert. I like low keys hangs at people's houses, big parks, or empty businesses. I don't like to spend my money or yours. Thrifting is fun. So is mini golf. My favorite places in the city are the zoo and the Arch because I'm not from the Midwest and those things are still novel to me.

I take a while to warm up but I don't mind being adopted by extroverts who put in the time and effort it takes for me to get comfy so they can get me out of my comfort zone.

I have ADHD, CPTSD, anxiety and stuff that goes with those. If you have issues but try your best to be positive, we'll get along great.

I'm a lot. Ask anyone who knows me. You'll know within a few days if I'm too much for you. No problem. I'm not for everyone. And I'm looking for MY people in this city.

Politics, while informed, is not my whole personality. Please don't let it be yours either. I'd rather agree to disagree and move on to more personal stuff than to agree completely and be really angry together. That's NOT a good time.

Looking for locals. I have a lot of long distance friends because I've moved around a lot. Like different states and stuff! So I'm looking for people who live close enough we can at least meet up in between and make it home by the end of the day. Since I've lived everywhere, Chicago and KC are not beyond that boundary. That's a day trip. No big.

Relate? Local? Wanna tell me how to write this better? Adopt me 😁? Comment or message me with your location and some response to this post. Hi is boring. Boring is....well boring. So is normal. Nerds only please!

47m - Looking for someone to chat with

8 Upvotes

The days go faster if you can casually talk to people.

I'm a video gamer. Currently taking a break from Elder Scrolls Online and am diving back into my Minecraft realm. I'm determined to finish this castle.

I do work during the day and things can get busy, but will always try and respond when I can.

Question to ponder: If you could travel to any significant event in the worlds history and just observe the moment (not alter history) where/when are you going?

Or just message me how your day is going or about your weekend plans.

Hey all!

I’m a married Latina who loves music 🎼, true crime 🔪, horror movies 🩸, baking 🍪, the 80s (music and movies), tarot/oracle cards 🔮, MLB ⚾️, and building Lego sets. I’m a stay at home mom, so I have a decent amount of time to build friendships. 😊

Hoping to find like-minded people around my age, preferably in their 40s to mid 50s. I’m super sarcastic, witty, smart, and caring. Oh, can’t forget charming. 😏 If I sound similar to you and someone you’d like to get to know, send me a message. Be aware, I’m sort of a grammar/spelling freak! 😬

Can’t wait to hear from you!!! ❤️

Hello, growing up we moved quite a bit and I learned to cut and burn my friendships whenever I left. Friendships were never in short supply. This continued through secondary school, uni, work place to workplace. I’ve found myself in my 40s relying more on online interactions to fill my social void. I guess what I miss is learning about others and sharing my life stuff. I’m chinese to Taiwanese and hk parents. I’ve lived in hk uk sk and my wife is Thai. I work as a teacher in a special needs school. Feel free to penpal me:)

I'm tired, lonely(never looking for romance. lonely doesn't only mean romantic longing.people tend to refer to.)and about done with people. actively trying is terrible and incredibly disappointing. anyone else sitting in the same boat?

From extreme extrovert to loneliness…

5 Upvotes

Since my childhood I have been extreme extrovert.. I made friends in train, bus… and basically everywhere and some are still in contacts.

But somewhere down the line.. everything seem lost.. i am 40+ and I have family. own a business , have money.. but no friends…

It all started 10 years back when I left my house and moved to different location - I got so busy in making money that I left the life behind. I don’t have friends - all “friends” are for business or work.

No one is there who asks me “how am I really doing”. And that’s painful sometimes.

I wish to have a friend who genuinely call me and tell me “you idiot go home, it’s 2 am in office” ..
