What one thing You’re looking forward to in the next 10 years?

HELLO people! Looking for all the sweet people with dork tendencies!

A teensy bio: First off, I am super nice! I think I’m pretty well adjusted and well rounded. I’m a happy, sweet person who believes that the most important qualities in a person are kindness, generosity of spirit, and graciousness, which I prize above accomplishments, education, and the things they’re into, no matter how cool and elite. Not that those aren’t important! I just mean kindness carries more weight for me than what a person does for work and fun.

I am quirky and have a lot of fun with it! My other favorite quality in a person is funniness and sense of humor.

Which brings me to what I’m into these days! I’ve started watching stand ups here and there, marveling at their cleverness while also snorting out loud, analyzing why a joke worked or why it bombed, trying to BEGIN to train my brain to draw unexpected but genius parallels, with the knockout funny phrasing. And the timing, delivery, and stage presence? That‘s PhD level, comedy rocket science. You don’t have to be into comedy, but you can totally share with me what you’re into!

If you want someone to nerd out and bust up with, just reach out!

Curious. I’m close to 50 but want to get advice as a guy. Anyone giving advice on stuff? Nothing too major just would be great to talk about life and aging

Looking for a female friend from BC as many are not Canadian on here. Just chatting about life in general or whatever comes to mind. My life is upside-down and maybe urs is too :)

I am looking to find a female friendship with age group of 50+. Let’s talk about the 80’s music that we grew up listening to, reading, pets, crafts and shared life experiences. Please comment below if interested. I’ll dm you if I see your comment.

Who’s still awake and up for a chat? 52m Canada

Hi, I’ve been some 8 years in this sub but not made any friends here so maybe it’s time to say goodbye. I haven’t made much effort but have tried to take part of discussions here. It just feels like this sub has changed a lot during the couple of past years. Where is the positivity and all the “have a good weekend” posts? Also this seaching for m/f this and that wasn’t there when I joined. I hope you all find peace and serenity to your lives. Being able to enjoy of the time with yourself is the most important relationship and friendship. Anything in addition is just bonus. Have a nice summer all🌞

51F in England currently on night shifts in a care home and boredom has set in.

Anyone about?

Edit. Off to bed now but back on nights tonight so will reply to messages then. Thanks all ☺️

I remembered, I remembered!

I am a child of the 80s and 90s and have been waxing lots of nostalgia of late and would love to chat and banter about our awesome childhood. Let’s share stories about how lucky we are that we didn’t have cell phones and social media in our days.

I ate Flintstones vitamins, hung out at the malls with my friends, pegged my jeans, wore IOUs and Z Cavariccis that I bought from Merry Go Round, and played tons of Nintendo. On the school playground, I played wall ball, four square, and red rover.
My neighborhood friends just showed up to my home UNANNOUNCED, but never before Saturday morning cartoons were over. my favorite cartoons included Flintstones and Jetsons. Throw in some Tom & Jerry in there too.

We rode our bikes everywhere, knew every street in our neighborhood and got around without Google Maps. We played outside in the summer from sunrise to well past sunset.

Oh, and can’t forget I was sent to the store for a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.
If any of this resonated with you - you are who I am looking for and I want to talk about the greatest childhood ever.

I'm 50 and fully embrace all things GenX. As a point of mention as well, I'm not white, just to get that out of the way, though I grew up mostly with white. I’d like to connect with someone that is married, with some kids, and now find yourself looking … here. I get it … you get it … WE get it. I’m providing this post from the account I normally post from for you to get a taste of who I am.

I am college educated (that I actually paid for myself) and now work in corporate. I’ve progressed pretty well in my career but since I’m hitting my late 40s, starting to see the end of my current career, so thinking about my future a lot more. We might be in the same spot.

I'm a great conversationalist and love to chat. I'm going to ask many questions as you ask of me.

If you made it this far, tell me, what was your favorite TV show growing up?

Lost my job due office closure (major EU company), will lose my apartment in the end of this month (I gave notice), will lose my employment benefits this month in the country I´m residing (I´m an expat)

I´m now moving back to my mother´s with my cat, but I´m not stressed out or anything. Actually feeling very free - no obligations, no debts, no nothing.

Kind of feel I´m elected out due the AI and I realize there´s no going back, especially in my industry.

Mentally I feel I´ve been reset on the time period, when I started working in companies, which is early 90s. I suddenly have this freedom to chase my dreams again!

Summary: After long time with big companies culture did not take away "me". It was returned as agreed in the end of the employment. After 6 months.

Hey people, just looking for people
To chat with. I’ve been trying somewhat unsuccessfully to find people close to my age (50ish). To chat to. Feel free to DM!

Ive had and still am having an interesting life. Irish gypsy, looking for good conversations & stories. Irish, Astaru, peptides, kettle bells & mobility workouts, plants, food (Im currently a chef), gardens and the such. Im not into political, organized religion, or sports. Yep, that will do for now.

I woke up one day after turning 50 and I just stopped caring about the small, insignificant stuff that used to stress me out. Is anyone else finding that the older you get the less you worry about things. I’m just curious if more people are getting more or less stressed as we get older. DMs open if you’d like.

For me, it has been the amount of serious lies told against me.

I guess I must be like the Kate Hudson character, Claire/Thunder, in the recent movie, Song Sung Blue. In the movie, she was hit by a car twice.

Or like the movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where T.R. Daisey is struck by lightning seven times.

Hi!

I'm a 46-year-old woman looking to meet kind, genuine people for good conversations and, hopefully, lasting friendships.

A little about me:

I enjoy people with a good sense of humor and conversations that can go from completely random to surprisingly deep. Don't worry if you're introverted or socially awkward.

I like talking about everyday life, psychology, history, science, travel, food, and almost anything interesting.

I enjoy meeting curious people who like sharing ideas, experiences, and different perspectives.

If you'd like to get to know each other, send me a message or simply say hi 🙂

59M, single. 2 adult daughters. Living on the road for two weeks, having 2 weeks at home.
Tired of answering friend requests. Hoping to hear from fellow lurkers who are too shy to post, but happy to reply.
I like outdoors, beaches, cycling, motorbikes. Most sports.
Come by and say hi
