30 M UK - Looking for a friend, a good one

Hey everyone,

Just thought I’d put myself out there and see if I can meet a few new people to chat with and hopefully build some decent friendships. I’m mainly looking for people who actually enjoy talking and don’t mind keeping a conversation going rather than it just dying off after a day.

A bit about me: I’m pretty into gaming, mainly trophy hunting; that’s probably my main hobby, to be honest. After work and the gym, I can just mellow out trying to 100% a game. I really enjoy some of the farming/grinding aspects. I go to the gym quite a lot and try to stay on top of fitness and eating well. I recently started intermittent fasting as well, which has actually made my days feel a bit more structured and like I’ve got more time in them somehow (I sense this is because I'm always waiting for the moment I can eat).

I’ve also been getting into coffee a bit more lately. I picked up a French press and started trying different beans, which has been surprisingly fun. My favorite so far is a type of Brasilia (Walnut and dark chocolate). Outside of that, I’m just a bit of a nerd, really. I’m into all sorts of nerdy stuff, and I collect books and manga when I come across ones I like. I also love reliving the good old Marvel phases.

What I’m after is just someone around my age who’s also up for building an actual friendship and staying in touch. It doesn’t really matter if we’ve got the same interests or not; I’m more interested in someone who can hold a convo and actually wants to keep talking over time rather than it fading out.

A bit of “clinginess” is honestly fine with me as long as it’s just mutual effort and not one-sided. If that sounds like you, feel free to drop me a message. It would be nice to meet a few new people and see who I click with.

30 M UK - Looking for Long Term Mates

I don’t really want a huge circle or surface-level chats. I’m more interested in finding one or two people who actually enjoy getting into conversations that go somewhere. The kind where you start talking about a book or a random idea and somehow end up questioning everything an hour later.

I spend a lot of time writing and reading fiction, so stories are kind of my default language. I like picking things apart characters, motivations, weird “what if” scenarios, or just completely random thoughts that don’t really have a point but are fun to explore anyway.

I’m not expecting instant connection or constant messaging. Just someone who’s curious, thinks a bit too much, and doesn’t mind conversations that drift into strange or unexpected places.

If that sounds like you, send me a message. Tell me something you’ve been thinking about lately doesn’t have to be deep, just real.

I dislike chats where someone is trying to be "romantic", I am purely looking for a mate. I'm not into chats where the responses are typically "fair enough" or "hahaha lool", feels empty for me. Please be around my age.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet, just looking for friends based in the US. I am normally busy doing work hours which is 9-5 but after that I am free which lines up with the timezone of the US.

A bit about me:

• Into good coffee, trying new spots, and the occasional aimless walk through the city

• Enjoy a mix of music anything from laid-back playlists to live gigs

• Watching solid TV series/films (always open to recommendations)

• Gym/keeping active

• Interested in self-improvement, mindset, and staying mentally sharp

• Appreciate dark humour, sarcasm, and people who don’t take everything too seriously

• Also value quiet time sometimes just doing your own thing is enough

I’m pretty grounded, easy to talk to, and value consistency over surface-level chats. Just looking for like-minded people who are open, respectful, and want something a bit more genuine than small talk. Not going to lie, I prefer clingy personalities rather than one worded replies who don't put an effort or help build a conversation, for me, it's a waste of time.

Don't message me if you're younger than 28 or trying to move to telegram. Thank you

Hey, I'll keep this short and sweet. I'm just looking for friends in the US. I'm usually busy from 9-5 for work, but I'm free after that, which works with the US time zones.

A bit about me:

• I love good coffee, trying new places, and sometimes just wandering around the city.

• I'm into all kinds of music, from chill playlists to live shows.

• I enjoy watching great TV shows and movies (always up for recommendations!).

• I like hitting the gym and staying active.

• I'm interested in self-improvement, mindset, and keeping my mind sharp.

• I appreciate dark humor, sarcasm, and people who don't take everything too seriously.

• I also value my quiet time; sometimes just doing my own thing is enough.

I'm pretty down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and I prefer consistent chats over superficial ones. I'm just looking for open, respectful, like-minded people who want something more genuine than small talk. Honestly, I prefer clingy personalities over one-word replies from people who don't put in effort or help build a conversation; to me, that's a waste of time.

Don't message me if you're under 28 or trying to move to Telegram. Thanks!
