40 m single guy. Fairly normal if I do say so myself. Just having a lazy day puttering around doing chores. Generally I’m a big traveller. Enjoy restaurants and cocktails. Boxers or briefs ?
It's kind of hard to meet new people in your 30s in the real world so l figured I'd give this another shot. Never been great with making and keeping male friendships and as I get older I realize it's something I've been missing out on and want to try and change that. Just looking for a bond where we can talk about our days, share jokes, and hit on the deep stuff when times get tough. Maybe form a real connection over time.
Southern guy here, in my down time I like working on projects around the house or in my yard, playing board games with my fiancé and our friends, trying new recipes, and I'm a huge TV/Movie guy- I'm always looking for new recs there. Always down to live vicariously through others and their hobbies though, I can talk about anything. Recently started getting back into the gym to try and get back into better shape, definitely not a gym rat by any means- just looking to get healthier.
If it sounds like we could click or you want to know more, shoot me a message and we can chat.
Hey 👊
I’m a 25-year-old guy looking for a solid, genuine bromance — the kind built on shared energy, mutual respect, and actually enjoying each other’s company.
A bit about me:
• I train hard and regularly — gym and cardio are a big part of my life
• I love traveling, discovering new places, landscapes, and getting lost in cities
• I’m a programmer, so I enjoy logic, curiosity, and good conversations
• Big fan of coffee, movement, and pushing myself mentally and physically
I’m drawn to guys who take care of themselves, are curious about the world, and know how to enjoy life — whether that’s a tough workout, spontaneous trip, or a deep late-night conversation about life and ambition.
I’m chill but intense in a good way. I value consistency, honesty, and that unspoken understanding where you motivate each other without forcing it. No drama, no weirdness — just good vibes, confidence, and mutual growth.
If you’re into gym, travel, self-improvement, and real connection, hit me up and tell me what drives you.
👊🔥
Hey there how are you? I’m 39 and live in Rhode Island. Divorced a year ago. I’m a blue collar worker who works on the interstates and state highways everyday. Everything from snow plowing to fixing bridges to filling in potholes and masonry work to mowing grass lol we do it all. Been doing it 15 years I love it!
I really love working on old cars and trucks, going to car shows, showing off my antique truck, going for rides, hanging out with friends, going hiking, playing hockey, watching sports, and just having a good time in general. Just looking for some bros to chat with and see where it goes.
Into a wide variety of hobbies and interests, everything from the outdoors (hunting & fishing) to tech and video games. I don't go to the gym, but I stay very active. Currently trying to lose the dad bod. Looking for someone to bond with over shared hobbies and interests, or just someone looking for an accountability bro. Hit me up if interested!
I’m just a regular guy lacking in the friendship department. It’s crazy how you can live in such a big city and still feel you lack connections and specifically male friendship. I was always introverted growing up and found it hard to connect with people. Add to that as you get older and people's lives change, its hard to maintain friendships and almost impossible to make new ones.
What do I need in a friend? Really not a lot…just someone who shows up and puts in a bit of effort. I get that you won’t vibe with everyone but it would be great if you are ideally not someone who will just vanish or lose interest after a couple of messages. Honesty is also really important, and I'd love to find someone genuinely interested in trying to make a long-term connection.
So briefly about me, I'm married, 44 and from London, UK. I like to think I'm a genuine guy. As for hobbies well....let's give ourselves something to talk about.
A few random things to start conversations:
Born and raised in south London
A swimmer – not competitively but to enable some sort of fitness
Played trumpet as a youngster, including in a couple of youth orchestras
Not a fan of cheese or heavy spice.
Fan of travel and have currently visited 19 countries
Amateur photographer who likes taking pics of places I've visited
Fan of the theatre and seen over 50 musicals and 20 plays
Let's chat if you are looking for a genuine potential friend.
Into a wide variety of hobbies and interests, everything from the outdoors, hunting, and fishing, to tech and video games. I don't go to the gym, but I am very active.

Gay young professional bro living in Florida wanting to connect with bros and develop a true bromance. Basically all of my friends are girls and so I feel like I’m missing out on bro time lol. Not looking for one-off chats. I’m a naturally curious person and so love to ask questions and learn about people on a deep level. I want bros that I can chat to about anything and everything.
Local bros would be awesome, but I’m open to bros from all over. Some of my interests include travel, reading, tv, movies, yoga, board/card games, true crime, and art. Big foodie as well.
PM with a little about yourself and what you’re looking for
Looking for online chats and collaboration (see below):
Chats - regular corporate guy here who works a 9-5 job, works out, socializes, binges good (and bad) TV shows, reads, and writes in a blog (see “collaboration”). I’m about to take a long flight overseas and would love to chat with other bros, connect, and see where things go.
Collaboration - not my priority for posting but always something I enjoy chatting about. I run a Substack blog where I interview other guys and then write about them in a fun, sexy, anonymous way. Would love to tell you more about it if you want to be a subject of mine :)
Otherwise, have enjoyed this NextBestBro community in the past to varying degrees of success and excited to make some new online friends. Hit me up! 🤙🏼
Whats up everyone,

friends?
I am definitely looking to expand my circle. I am looking for friends who are chill, down to earth, and motivating.
I am currently working full time, going to school, and trying to work on my fitness.
I love joking around and talking about anything and everything. I love food! I also enjoy a great buzz lol.
Hmu 🤙🏽
Gym goer here looking for another bro to hang with. Ideally someone really into fitness so we can compare workouts. I am a normal working professional so someone who is also working is pretty good. Would love to talk salaries too because that fascinates me. Basically, finance and working out are my two interests
So I was chatting with this Aussie bro here. Similar age, we are from different countries. It started as just normal bro chats: motivating each other, talking about life, and bonding over our shared love for travelling.
He was looking for a travel buddy for a trip at the end of this year, and I thought “Why not?” We seemed to be on the same wavelength and our conversations felt genuine. We exchanged Telegram and Instagram, saw each other’s posts and stories, and I guess that was our way of confirming that neither of us was some bots or scammer.
Then suddenly, today, I realised he deleted his Telegram account and disappeared from Instagram. I went back to Reddit and couldn’t even access his profile anymore. So did he just vanish? Did he block me? I genuinely have no idea what happened.
The strange part is that we were having really good conversations. We talked about all sorts of things, like actual bros do. He even shared ideas of what we could do if I joined his trip later this year. I was transparent with him and said I could only confirm around August because of my work schedule. We even exchanged Telegram video bubbles.
And to be clear, this was purely a friendship thing. Just two bros chatting, nothing sexual, no inappropriate exchanges, no d!ck pic involved.
I’m honestly confused and quite sad. It’s not often that I start conversations with random strangers on Reddit. It just happened that I was doomscrolling, saw someone looking for a travel buddy, and decided to message him. It was nice to feel like I had made a genuine new bro connection.
I guess what hurts most is the lack of a simple goodbye. If the vibe changed, or if he no longer wanted to continue talking, a quick message saying “Hey, I don’t think I want to continue this,” would have been enough, just basic act of kindness.
I’m genuinely disappointed because this was one of the few times I decided to open myself up and try making a new friend.
If you somehow come across this post, I just want you to know that I’m open to hearing from you again. I’d appreciate it if you could at least let me know what happened or why you decided to disappear. No hard feelings, I just value honesty and closure.
Is this just something that happens when you meet people online, or did I do something wrong? Maybe Reddit just isn’t the place to look for genuine bro friendships.
TL;DR: Made a genuine bro connection, moved to Telegram and Instagram, talked about a potential trip together, then he vanished from every platform overnight. I just wish he had said goodbye.
Hey dudes
33 here married and a dad. I work from home which often gets lonely. Looking for fellow buds to chat with to pass the time. Voice notes and video chats would be cool, too.

Yo, just looking for a genuine bro to talk to. Doesn’t matter if you’re straight, gay, married, single, whatever. as long as you’re a good person and can keep a conversation going.
Im 30, Puerto Rican Army vet. I’m into jiu-jitsu, dancing, reading, anime, and just chilling. I’m the type who’s down to talk about random stuff, life, stupid memes, or whatever’s on your mind.
Would be cool to find someone who’s actually looking for a real friendship and not just a few messages before disappearing. Just be yourself, have a sense of humor, and don’t be fake.
