r/FriendsOver40

I just want to get this out of my chest. Im sad. If you have judgmental comment pls put it elsewhere. Not today.

So im 42F, 2 kids teen and tween, have steady job and income, live near city and forest. I have options on what to do.

I have 13 female friends all with enough means to socialise. Nobody wanna go to the city or to the forest to walk.

Either they just want me to host them, their husbands and kids, or they wanna go to playground. Their kids are all above 6 years old.

They dont wanna grab coffee or lunch/dinner. Im lucky if that happens 1x a year.

One woman she sent me link to a nice resto 30min away, I said lets go next week? She said maybe on her birthday july 2027.

I have 3 single ladies friends. Even harder to meet them.

And I promise you, I am probably the only mother around me who dont always talk about my kids.

My other close friend, she got a second dog and she never left her neighborhood anymore. Always refuse to go to the city (15min away from her).

When i was in university, I had 6 close male friends. We went out often, no drama. Just open the door and leave the house. Didn't always need to spend money.

I am frustrated of my real life friends.

Anyone relate?

Is it actually possible to find that kind of bond when we are all anonymous? I sometimes feel like most of us just end up here looking for a short-term distraction.

​Has anyone here ever genuinely found a real, lasting friend through Reddit?

Hi I'm looking for chat buddies! My interests are reading, writing, music, movies, TV, being outside, my 2 cats! Lots of things! Message for more!

Hey everyone, 40f here looking for other people to connect with. I have been separated/divorced in the last few years and navigating that has been difficult to say the least.

I love to play video games, create art, go out with friends and recently have gotten into photography and sewing. I love music and art of all types.

I’ve also done some coding and love techy stuff 💕

Looking forward to connecting with others, please don’t be too shy to reach out.

Hi! I am going to try this again! I’m 46F from the East Coast. Looking for people to talk to and get to know. I know that most of the time these conversations are brief and fizzle out after a day or two, but I’m looking for the one who wants to stay and get to really know each other! If you think that’s you, message me! I can’t wait to hear from you!

edit: west side like KOP.

Separated earlier this year and didn't establish many friendships prior, especially locally. And I'm trying to make up for that. Been doing some dating and not looking for that kind of thing here. Just like, people to talk to and game and hang out with, virtual and ideally in person! So definitely want to hear from local people :)

Life gets lonely, some friends to chat with during the day would be nice! Open to cat about pretty much anything! In a long term relationship so keep that in mind. I love the beach, hiking with my dog , music, documentaries ......

Doing something strange for me and sitting in my car in a multi story carpark drinking a coffee before facing the day. Its Friday, so thats always good.

Looking for some high effort, interesting people, who love creating windows into their world through pictures. SFW only. Kind, genuine and transparent people wanted. Mentally healthy seeks the same.

I normally write a lot more and you can see my post history, but clearly today is just a discombobulating, out of character day!

Hi! 49F in SoCal. I've been in the US a long time, but my English is still a work in progress. I like walking, gardening, sunsets, and good conversation, and I'm curious how people here really joke around. Looking for friendship only, any gender welcome. If you're 40+ and easygoing, comment below or message me and tell me a bit about yourself!
