24m, I miss when friendships used to feel effortless

You know those friendships where you randomly text each other throughout the day, send memes, talk about life at 1am, disappear for a few hours, then come back like nothing happened? I miss that honestly.

I’m a med student, 24, into psychology, cultures, traveling, books, music, and overthinking absolutely everything. People usually see me as social, but genuine connection still feels rare sometimes.

I like emotionally open people, chaotic humor, curiosity, and conversations that feel natural instead of forced interviews.

If you message, don’t just say “hey.” Tell me:

  • a controversial opinion
  • your current obsession
  • or the weirdest thing you’ve learned recently

24m, trying to find a *genuine* long-term connection

24M, med student from Tunisia. I’m looking for an actual genuine friendly connection, not the weird “bro” that turns sexual 3 messages later 😭

I like deep conversations, psychology, culture, random existential discussions at 2am, but also sending dumb memes and talking about daily life. I’m someone pretty ambitious and involved in a lot of things (volunteering, projects, travel, languages, etc.), but I also genuinely value emotional openness and real human connection.

I want a friendship where we can:

  • talk about life honestly
  • motivate each other
  • share random thoughts/voice notes
  • joke around without it being superficial
  • actually become important parts of each other’s lives over time

Please be respectful and emotionally mature. And again: strictly platonic. I’m not looking for anything sexual/NSFW at all.

Bonus points if you’re into:
books, self-growth, neuroscience/psychology, cultures, music, travel, or just questioning life for no reason.

If the vibe clicks, age/location don’t matter much.

24m looking for a chill older bro vibe

hey 👋

this might be a little specific, but i’m a 24m who’s always kinda wished for an older brother-type connection, someone grounded, kind, and easy to talk to.

about me:

i’m into cozy, simple things: rainy days, oversized hoodies, reading books, and playing games (mostly niche ones like dragon nest and elsword). i also really love food, whether it’s cooking or baking or trying something new or just enjoying a really good meal.

i’m pretty talkative from the start 😅 i like getting to know people, asking questions, and having real conversations. at the same time, i genuinely enjoy listening, especially to people with life experience or stories to share. i don’t have many male friends, so that’s part of why i’m here.

what i’m looking for:

just a genuine older “big bro” type connection, nothing weird, just someone patient, supportive, and real. someone to talk with, get advice from, and build a comfortable, wholesome kind of connection.

if that sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out 🙂

thanks for reading 🌱

hey 👋

this might sound a bit specific, but i’m really looking for something genuine. not just quick chats that fade after a day, but an actual connection where we both show up, talk, share, and build something real over time.

about me: i’m into calm, cozy things: reading (loving the poppy war atm), late-night thoughts, deep conversations, and sometimes just sitting with music and overthinking life a bit. i also like learning, understanding people, and having those rare conversations that make you feel seen.

what i’m looking for:
someone kind, emotionally aware, and real. you don’t have to be perfect or “interesting” in some performative way, just be yourself. i appreciate people who can talk about both random daily things and deeper topics when it feels right.

if you’re also tired of surface-level conversations and want something meaningful, feel free to reach out. even a simple “hey” is enough 🙂

let’s see where it goes.

hey everyone 👋

this might be a slightly unusual post, but i’m a 24m who’s always kinda wished for an older brother figure, someone grounded, kind, maybe a bit protective in a healthy way, and willing to give advice or just be there to talk.

about me:

i’m into cozy, simple : rainy days, oversized hoodies, reading books, and playing games (mostly niche ones like dragon nest and elsword). i also just really love baking and cooking and trying food in general

personality-wise, i’m actually pretty talkative from the start 😅 i like chatting, asking questions, and getting to know people, but i also really enjoy listening, especially to people with life experience or stories to share. i don’t have many male friends, so i think that’s part of why i’m here.

what i’m looking for: just a chill, older-brother-type connection. nothing weird, just someone patient, supportive, and real. someone who can give advice, check in sometimes, or just have solid conversations.

if that sounds like your thing, feel free to reach out 🙂

hey 👋

this might sound random but i’ve always felt like i missed having an older brother. like someone a bit more grounded i can talk to, look up to, get advice from and be my mentor(?) that kind of thing.

about me:

i’m pretty simple tbh. i like chill stuff, rain, hoodies, reading, gaming (mostly older/niche games like dragon nest / elsword). i’m also really into food, whether it’s cooking something or just enjoying a good meal.

i can be talkative once i’m comfortable, i dokt like just asking questions but i like whent he cinversarion flowsnsmoothly and getting to know people. but i also like listening, especially to people who’ve lived more and have perspective.

i don’t really have many guy friends, so yeah, that’s part of why i’m posting this. just a normal, wholesome “big bro” type connection. someone patient, honest, easy to talk to.

if you get what i mean, feel free to message
