Give us your best tips for someone in their early 40s

Just a guy that likes simple conversation. Not in a drama, but pretty good at dealing with problems and solving problems. Work a lot and sometimes would be nice just to have a conversation with someone very active into the outdoors. If that sounds interesting hit me up.
Thanks😋

Hi. I'm kind of new here. Hoping to meet interesting folks, maybe like-minded. I'm a Capricorn, love cats (not much of a dog person), awesome at pinball (I like to think), work in security, live in Va., and a big horror fan. Plenty else, too much to write. Come on, you've got nothing to lose....

Woke up, suddenly, and found myself pretty lonely. Would like to meet or chat with others in the same boat

Hello. Just a married 63 year old fart here. Open to chat to anyone about pretty much anything.

60F Looking for folks into doing stuff outside. I want friends of either sex who want to hike, raft and camp. Still active and looking for others who may be looking to learn new things like kayaking and more...

Hello everyone! I’m new here and thought this would be a nice place to meet people around and have some good conversations. Life gets busy, but I think it’s always nice to have people you can chat with about everyday things, hobbies, memories, or just something funny that happened during the day. What’s been keeping everyone busy lately?

M55 from the uk. Bit of a night owl.

Hi everyone, is time to reach out and find new friends.

I tend to be quite busy, what with work, kids, grandchildren and ageing parents. So time to find so time for myself.

I live on the edge of dartmoor so into walking (not that I get out there as much as I would like)

Let's chat and have a laugh, tell me about your part of the world?

I am looking forward to retirement much more eagerly than my bank account would encourage.

I love gardening, music (all types, but someone will need to explain death metalnto me), reading, word games, trivia, smart television shows and a few goofy ones as well. I love to travel solo, but like a companion along if it's the right friend.

Divorced thrice. (Yes, that's times) so pretty happy being single at present.

I have friends, but looking to make more via email or DM that share my interests, or can turn me on to new ideas. That way I can deep dive on it and become an insufferable know-it-all 😀.

Send me joke or book suggestion. Or an new idea, if you dare.

Thanks for reading!

52 male here. I lost my wife to a heart attack 2 months ago. Life went from full and rewarding to quiet and empty. Now sure what my next move is but I’d like some company or at least good conversations. Thanks

Hi everyone! I'm 53 and have been swimming 2-3 times a week for over a decade now. It's become such a core part of my life, and I'd love to connect with others in this community who are also staying active in their 50s and beyond.

I don't go to the gym — swimming has always been my thing — but I'm curious to hear from others who've found routines that work for them long-term, whether it's swimming, walking, cycling, strength training, or anything else.

A few things I'd love to chat about:

How do you stay motivated to keep a consistent routine after 50?

Has your approach to fitness changed as you've gotten older?

Any tips for someone who's stuck to one activity (swimming, in my case) but is curious about mixing things up?

Mostly I'm just looking to swap stories, get some motivation, and maybe make a few friends who understand what it's like navigating fitness and health in this stage of life. Feel free to comment or DM me — always happy to chat!

Thanks for reading, and looking forward to connecting with some of you.

55 year old guy that acts and feels about 20 years younger. Looking for chats, friends possibly leading to more would be nice. Age is irrelevant to me. I enjoy film a lot and have a long list of favorite directors. I also love animals, hiking and getting outdoors, music, art, finding new restaurants, current events, good TV series, and much more. I also love philosophical conversations. I'm told I'm a nice person 😀 If you're in the metro Atlanta area that's great but you don't have to be.

New here.

Would love to find a chat buddy. I’m a transplanted Northeasterner in the American desert. Still getting used to it. How does anyone over 50 make some new friends around here (reddit & in real life)? Would love someone to just shoot the 💩 with.

I’m in Texas and looking to meet some new people and make genuine friendships. Life can get pretty busy, and I’ve realized I’d really like to have more people to talk to, laugh with, share random thoughts with, and just enjoy some good conversation.

I’m open to friendships with both men and women. I’m not looking for anything romantic or complicated—just genuine, platonic friendships with people who are down to earth and can have a real conversation.

I enjoy music, movies, traveling, motorcycles, random conversations, and learning about other people and their lives.

If you’re in Texas or anywhere else and also looking for a friend, feel free to send me a message. No pressure to become best friends overnight. Sometimes a simple “hey, how’s your day going?” is a pretty good place to start.

Going through a divorce after 25 years of marriage . Both my kids are grown and are moving out to start their lives. Looking for friends in Minnesota.

My hobbies are gardening

and Art I love to create things from junk. Or what people would consider junk. I've been making a eagle sculpture for the last 10 years. I go in spurts working on it . Probably my ADD😁

I have two dogs and they are my sidekicks. A Chihuahua and a terrier.

You can send me a Reddit message if you're interested.

I’m 58m that just got back from having lunch with a friend. While sitting at the bar having a beer, a nice looking lady sits next to me. My friend nudges me I look over and he nods, I get the hint so I turn to this lady and ask her if I could buy her a drink. She says sure. So I do. We made some small talk, I offer to buy her another drink she accepts. She gets the second drink and rather loudly says “Sir, I don’t date fat guys!” I’m shocked because I didn’t ask for a date. I said “Look lady I admit I’m fat, hell it’s obvious but I identify as skinny, so that makes me trans slender and what you just said qualifies as a hate crime.” My friend and I both got up and died laughing as she sat there looking bewildered.
