r/FriendsOver40

I am the same online as I am in person. I don’t have the energy or care to be someone else. I’m worn out from the d picts and those that are seeking to only see my naked body… I want conversations and laughter. I’m married, don’t care if you are or aren’t… I’ve had several long term chats with men that turn out to be exactly who they say they aren’t…if you are normal and understanding maybe we can chat… I look like my handle

Just here to meet cool people, and chat with folks who also need three business days to recover from staying up past 10 PM!

What’s something local or a favorite routine that’s bringing you joy lately?

I figured I’d actually introduce myself instead of just lurking around here. 😂
I’m not here looking for dating or anything complicated. I’d just genuinely enjoy meeting some good people around my age who can actually hold a conversation — funny, serious, random, ridiculous… whatever the day brings.
I’m pretty laid-back. I like coffee, getting out and exploring, good food, laughing at stupid stuff, and conversations that go a little deeper than “how’s the weather?”
Making real friends as an adult is weirdly harder than it should be, so I figured I’d put myself out there.
So… where’s everybody from, and what’s something you could talk about for hours?

I'm a sucker for good conversations. I just want to have someone I can't spill my thoughts to or we can rant together and possibly have a laugh or two...Let's talk!

Made a great connection with a wonderful person, but they live very far away and I don’t get to talk with her nearly enough. Had a realization about that and am in a bit of a spiral. So I would welcome a listening ear, but really looking for any sort of conversation. I work from home and bored

Hi! 👋

I'm looking for a few people from different parts of the world who might enjoy becoming pen pals.

I'm particularly interested in people from English-speaking countries, but I'm absolutely open to anyone who enjoys communicating in English and exchanging thoughts about everyday life, culture, books, films, streaming, weird little observations, and whatever else two reasonably curious humans might end up talking about.

A little about me: I'm a doctor, an author, a lifelong reader, and a bit of a nerd. I enjoy science fiction, fantasy, medicine, books, intelligent TV shows, and conversations that somehow begin with “So, what do you think about…?” and end three hours later somewhere completely unexpected. 😅

I'm not looking for someone who sends a formal autobiography every Sunday. I'd rather have an actual conversation—something relaxed, funny, occasionally profound, and occasionally completely ridiculous.

Important clarification: I'm looking for friendship/platonic pen-pal correspondence only. I'm happily married and not interested in romance, flirting, dating, or anything sexual. Please don't message me with those expectations. I'm simply interested in getting to know interesting people whom I would probably never have met otherwise.

Age isn't terribly important, although I'd prefer fellow adults. Bonus points if you're curious about other cultures, enjoy writing, or have some wonderfully niche interest you're willing to inflict upon an unsuspecting stranger. 😂

If this sounds like your sort of thing, tell me a little about yourself and what made you want a pen pal. Maybe we'll discover that two complete strangers on opposite sides of the planet have far more to talk about than either expected.

Looking forward to meeting some interesting humans!

I just had the loneliest summer of my life and I realized today that the people that I thought were my friends do not message me unless they need something and I can no longer pour from an empty cup. There is no point in even looking at my phone anymore honestly. Just trying to find someone that I can actually build a lasting friendship with and I’m starting to lose hope in finding a genuine friendship honestly. I’m a healthcare worker, I have 2 daughters that are in elementary school, and I have adhd which has been the biggest struggle of my life with regards to finding friends.

Lets push past the everyday and just fire questions at each other,

Whats the one thing that would make you get in the White van?

For me its chocalate or Pizza

My name is Eddie and If you're looking for a friendship that doesn't end with you thinking what's his end game. Then this person is for you. This ESFP mode can talk about any and everything. He's so friendly. He even talks to scammers just to pass the time, just kidding. So step right up to get your genuine conversation with him now.

Disclaimer:

He plays video games. (DbD, SoD2, WWE, Fortnite, etc.)

He watches anime. (Has Crunchyroll)

He reads books. (Self Improvement)

He cooks. (Air Fry Honestly)

He is respectful (Respectful of others)

He a pet owner (2 Cats 5 Fish tanks)

He has Discord (Reasons for gaming & chatting)

Act Now while supplies last. Bonus if you're a gamer & have daddy issues (that part is a joke).

Just another chill work from home day that also happens to be my birthday. Not much going on and so far the dog seems highly disinterested in what I have to say. The cats on the other hand just want more food. So far, great day lol.

I'm into books, movies, sports, travel, and down to talk about anything. If you'd like to make a new friend just send me a dm!

It’s too damn hot out.

I have friends, but I am really depressed about the fact that most people who know and like me really only know a carefully curated version of myself that I created so that people wouldn’t think I was too weird.

Perry, 40, M, US

Hello everyone! I’m 39, female, and from the UK. I’m looking to make genuine friendships with people aged 39+ only.

A bit about me:

I play video games on PC and Xbox — I’m currently playing Palworld, Starsand Island, but I also like Assassin’s Creed and Tomb Raider and many other games. I’m open to most games, especially co-op, but I’m not really into competitive shooters.

I also love board games like Stardew Valley: The Board Game and Discworld: Ankh-Morpork.

Outside of gaming, I’m really into Space, History, Mythology, and learning in general. I can happily lose hours in Museums or Watching Documentaries on pretty much any topic.

Music-wise, I’m a big fan of 90s pop and rock, and I also love bardcore. I’ll give most things a chance, but rap and R&B aren’t really my thing.

I enjoy TV shows like Foundation, The Devil’s Hour, and even lighter stuff like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

For movies, I like a mix of genres — The Matrix and A Fish Called Wanda are favourites, but I’m not into horror.

I also enjoy casual hiking (especially the Lake District), Crafts like Diamond Painting, Paint by numbers, and I’ve recently started Soldering.

Reading – If I get some free time, I enjoy getting lost in a good book (Ready Player One, The Lord of the Rings, and others).

What I’m looking for:

I’d love to find someone who actually wants to chat and get to know each other, rather than things stopping after a few messages or days. Maybe down the line we could play some games together or send the odd voice clip on Discord once we’re comfortable.

I’m only looking for friendship. I’m in a happy relationship, so I’m not interested in anything romantic or sexual.

You must be 39 or older. If you’re younger, I won’t reply. I’m only interested in talking to someone from the uk or usa.

If you think we’d get along, feel free to message me and tell me a bit about yourself.

Heya! Watching the sun set and feeling wistful, hoping to someone new to chat with. Trying to figure out what to do with the waning weeks of summer. Generally I'm happiest outside. I like hiking, kayaking, gardening, cooking, cats, tattoos, wind and the color yellow. I enjoy movies, some games, and really just anything that can keep my hands busy. I'm fairly restless in general and like to explore. I enjoy people with a shared curiosity about the world and everything in it. What's the prettiest place you've ever visited?

48F looking for genuine platonic friends. I love museums, true crime, and quiet nights in. Looking for someone who's loyal, real, and down to earth. If you're into deep talks and good vibes, hit me up. No drama pls.

If you're looking for something similar just send me a DM.

I have been living in for 2 years with my gf. We’re both in our early 40s. She is very social and has friends and hangs out with them from time to time. I’ve lived for 10 years in San Diego, but have not become real friends with anyone. Recently she suggested that I should engage in some social environment to make some friends. I believe is harder to make new friends at this age also The reality is that I am no very social, although I participate in social events when I can. What sort of activities I can get involved?

Looking for people to chat about science fiction, fantasy and life in general.

West coast, married, mom and dog pillow. Looking for good women and men to meet and chat with. I bring a lot of love to the table - especially to fellow dog people. I dooo have a cat but he isnt as much of a cuddle monster as my pups. i love hiking and reading and running. And i love cuddling on a sunday morning and talking about whatever that makes us laugh.

Hope to find a good pillow talker.

At this monent in my life, I think maybe it would be easier to chat with a stranger than to open up to people close to me, tbh. Sometimes life is very harsh and has this effect on people. You don't realize you've built your walls much too high until one day you realize the view from inside is obstructed. You meant to protect yourself but you ended up building yourself a cell. Oops. Maybe it's not too late to tear it down...

I live near train tracks, and when I hear one go by I feel simultaneously calm and excited, old and young. Maybe you can relate?
