Hello everyone.

I've always liked the idea that family isn't always something you're born into. Sometimes it's something you build with people who choose to stay, support you, and genuinely care about you. That's what brings me here.

I'm a 35-year-old married guy looking for a long-term, purely platonic connection that hopefully grows into something that feels a bit like having a sibling. Someone who checks in from time to time, shares life's wins and frustrations, sends random memes, celebrates the good days, and helps carry the weight of the difficult ones.

I'm not looking for anything romantic or NSFW. I'm happily married and only interested in building genuine friendships and meaningful connections.

A little about me:

I've spent the last few years trying to become a better version of myself. I lost around 50kg, built a home gym, and discovered that I genuinely enjoy exercising. More importantly, I've been working on becoming a better communicator, setting healthier boundaries, and being the kind of person people can rely on.

I'm a huge music nerd, especially when it comes to 70s, 80s, and 90s rock, hip hop, and soul. I love discussing albums, artists, and music history.

I enjoy cooking, reading, gaming, football (soccer), professional wrestling, movies, TV shows, and long conversations about philosophy, ethics, and life's bigger questions. Recently I've gotten back into reading and have managed to stick with it for the first time in years.

I also have an 11-year-old dog, who is and will absolutely appear in photos.

What I'm hoping to find:

Someone around my age or older who values kindness, consistency, effort, and honesty. Someone who wants to build an actual connection rather than exchange a handful of messages and disappear.

I don't care about your gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, or political views. What matters to me is how you treat people.

Life gets busy, and I completely understand that. Nobody can be available all the time. What matters is knowing that both people are making an effort to stay connected when they can.

I'd love to build the kind of friendship where we can talk about serious things one day, send ridiculous memes the next, and slowly become part of each other's support systems over time.

If you're also looking for a sibling-like bond, tell me a little about yourself. Tell me what's been on your mind lately, what you're passionate about, or even something completely random that made you smile this week.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you're having a good day.

Greetings and salutations!

I've met some genuinely wonderful people through posts like these, so I'm hoping to meet a few more.

I'm happily married and only looking for platonic friendships. No NSFW stuff, just good conversations, shared interests, terrible memes, and hopefully a lasting friendship.

A bit about me:

• I'm from Europe

• I enjoy cooking and sharing food photos.

• I have an 11-year-old dog, and yes, there will be dog pictures.

• I've lost around 50kg over the past couple of years and discovered that I genuinely enjoy working out.

• I'm a music nerd, especially 70s, 80s, and 90s rock, hip hop, and soul.

• I love football, professional wrestling, reading, movies, TV shows, and gaming (i own a lot of physical media and yeah, i'm angry at Sony now).

• I'm always up for conversations about philosophy, ethics, human behavior, and random hypotheticals.

What I'm looking for:

Someone around my age, or older, who values kindness, effort, and genuine friendship. I enjoy conversations where both people are curious about each other and willing to put in a little effort. I don't mind younger than 28, but please, if you're like 22, or less than that, we probably won't have much in common.

I don't care about your gender, sexuality, religion, or political views. People on the internet are a giant blob to me, so if you're a decent human, and treat me with respect, you'll get the same in return.

Bonus points if you enjoy memes, bad jokes, random thoughts, and sharing interesting things throughout the week.

Also, i know (and i hope you offer me the same leeway) tha life sometimes gets in the way, all i seek is consistency, checking in from time to time. You know, an actual friendship.

I prefer Discord eventually, but there's no rush, i would rather get to know you through reddit and then move on towards that.

Not sure how to start?

• Tell me about your day.

• Recommend a book, movie, or album.

• Share an unpopular opinion.

• Tell me what's been on your mind lately.

If you think we'd get along, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you very much for reading!

Hello everyone.

I've always liked the idea that family isn't always something you're born into. Sometimes it's something you build with people who choose to stay, support you, and genuinely care about you, and since i don't really have a family of my own, that's what brings me here.

I'm a 35-year-old married guy looking for a long-term, long distance, purely platonic connection that hopefully grows into something that feels a bit like having a sibling.

I've been lucky enough to meet some genuinely wonderful people through posts like these, so I'm taking another shot and hoping to meet a few more.

I'm looking for long-term, purely platonic friendships with people around my age (28+ preferred, older is absolutely welcome). I value effort, kindness, curiosity, and mutual interest in getting to know each other.

A quick note: I'm happily married and only looking for genuine, platonic friendships. I'm not here for anything NSFW—just good conversations, shared interests, terrible memes, and hopefully building a lasting friendship with some interesting people.

About me

I've always believed that the best way to treat people is the way I'd like to be treated. I'll always respect your opinions, experiences, and perspectives, even if I sometimes come across as argumentative or overly enthusiastic during discussions.

I'm trying to be better at communicating my expectations and boundaries, holding myself accountable, and making my word mean something. I value effort in friendships. I like remembering important details about people and checking in on them from time to time.

Things I enjoy

Cooking – I like to think I'm pretty decent in the kitchen. I'm always happy to share pictures of whatever I've been making.

My dog, Thor – I've had him for almost 11 years. He's family, and yes, there will be photos.

Working out – Two years ago, I decided to make some major lifestyle changes. I weighed around 135kg and have since lost about 50kg. I started eating better, built a home gym, and discovered that I genuinely enjoy exercising. If you're looking for a workout buddy, I'm your guy.

Music – I'm a bit of a music nerd. Most of what I listen to comes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, especially rock, hip hop, and soul. I'm always happy to trade recommendations, discuss albums, or go down a rabbit hole about artists and music history.

Football and professional wrestling – I'm a lifelong football fan (soccer, for the uneducated). Whether it's discussing matches, debating players, celebrating victories, or collectively suffering through terrible performances, I'm always up for football chat. I'm also a big professional wrestling fan i love talking wrestling with people who enjoy it as much as I do.

Reading – I've recently gotten back into reading, and for the first time in years I've actually managed to stick with it. It's been great rediscovering how much I enjoy getting lost in a good book. Feel free to ask me what I'm currently reading—or recommend something you think I should pick up next.

Movies, TV shows, and games – I know everyone says this, but I love discussing media almost as much as consuming it. Character motivations, world-building, moral dilemmas—I'm here for all of it.

Some games I've enjoyed include the Final Fantasy series, Need for Speed, Assassin's Creed, and Medieval II: Total War. I also collect video games, so I have some cool things to show off.

Philosophy, ethics, and hypotheticals – Does free will exist? What does it mean to be a good person? Is pulling the lever in the trolley problem really the most moral choice? I'm not formally educated in philosophy, but I've always enjoyed thinking about and discussing these kinds of questions.

What I'm looking for

Someone with a similar mindset who's around my age (28+ preferred, and older is absolutely welcome).

I'd love to meet someone who enjoys making an effort and genuinely wants to build a friendship. I'm not looking to interview people or be interviewed. Ideally, we'd both be curious about each other's lives and enjoy sharing what's on our minds.

It would be great if we could talk semi-regularly and develop a close, genuine friendship over time.

I don't care about your gender, sexuality, religion, or political views. I'll treat you with respect and kindness, and I hope for the same in return.

I also understand that life happens. There will be busy days, weeks, and periods where replies slow down—and that's perfectly okay.

Bonus points if you enjoy exchanging memes, terrible jokes, random thoughts, dog photos, or the occasional "look at this thing I found" message throughout the week.

A small side note

I prefer Discord. We don't need to voice chat unless you want to, but I'd love to move there once we get to know each other a bit better.

Not sure how to start?

• Tell me about your day or weekend.

• Recommend a movie, book, or show you think i should should experience.

• Tell me an opinion you have that most people disagree with.

• Tell me what's been on your mind lately.

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading.

If you think we might get along, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
