New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Long-term 35F, US, Who wants to hang out with the birthday girl this weekend??

12 Upvotes

I'm rather nerdy. I spend most of my days at home hanging out with the cat. I've loved art ever since I was very young. I have huge ambitions to have my own graphic design gig someday, but right now, I don't currently work at all.

I love video games. I got a lot to play on. PS5, Xbox One, Switch, Meta Quest 2, my iPad, and now PC. I'm an achievement/trophy hunter. I also collect PS1 & 2 games to play on my PlayStation 2. In recent years, I've been very casual with my gaming, playing a lot of platformers and survival/crafting games. I'll play a bit of everything, though, except for, like, sports games.

I love tabletop games. Star Wars Legion, Warhammer 40K/AoS, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, Digimon TCG, Lorcana, and Star Wars Unlimited. I love to paint miniatures as well, but it's a bit of a struggle to actually get people to play with me. Recently started playing D&D.

I suffer from a bit of a learning curve. Certified dyslexic.

I love music. Dance Gavin Dance, Papa Roach, Twenty-One Pilots, A Day To Remember, stuff like that. Bit of an elder emo. I wish I could play an instrument, but I fear I may be tone deaf 🙃

I love Marvel. Spider-Man's probably my favorite. Though in recent years, I've been growing to appreciate DC a lot more than I did before.

Huge fan of The Office (US). I've seen the whole series countless times.

I love horror movies and got into true crime on YouTube a few years ago. My favorite horror movie is The Blair Witch Project, second to the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I love anime and manga. Demon Slayer is by far my favorite. I also really love Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Dandadan, and Sword Art Online.

Love LEGO. Most of my sets are from Harry Potter, but I have some from Star Wars and The Office set. I also have some Nano blocks.

I'm doin' the Japanese, Spanish, music, and chess courses on Duolingo right now.

I love baking, coffee, and grilling. I don't have too much confidence in my cooking skills 😅 But I'm trying new recipes all the time, and I've been getting better! I'm rather adept at baking, though, and I love smoked meats 🤤

🟢4 20 friendly because some seem confused🟢

Age 22-25 23F | looking for people who actually like talking

11 Upvotes

Hiii! 23F from the US here 👋 I’m looking for some genuinely cool people to talk to on Discord and hopefully make some actual friends! Also, I’m currently bored as hell at work, so I figured why not 😂
I’m one of those people who can get interested in basically anything if you give me enough time. I’m really into gaming, anime, comics, music, film, writing, art, and pretty much anything creative or performative. I love getting sucked into stories, talking about characters, dissecting movies, sharing music, hearing about someone’s weird niche interest, or going down a completely unnecessary rabbit hole about something neither of us knew we’d care about 20 minutes ago.
I’m mainly looking for text-based friendships where we actually talk throughout the day like memes, random thoughts, music recommendations, games, shows, creative projects, dumb jokes, serious conversations, whatever! I don’t need someone who’s online 24/7, but I do want someone who genuinely enjoys conversation and getting to know people.
Basically, I’m looking for the kind of friendship where we can go from “what music have you been listening to lately?” to “wait, why is this movie actually genius?” to “okay hear me out about this completely insane story idea” in like 12 minutes 😭
You don’t have to be super extroverted or anything either, cause like awkward nerds, quiet people, creative people, professional yappers, and people with one extremely specific obsession are all welcome.
US-based please 🇺🇸
If you think we’d get along, tell me something you’re currently obsessed with like maybe a song, movie, game, artist, character, hobby, random fact, literally anything. Please give me something more interesting than “hey” and I’ll take it from there :P

Age 26-29 F26 from Finland looking for new people to talk to

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for new people to chat with hopefully long term. I’m the kinda person who forgets I even exist when someone asks me to tell something about myself but I’ll try my best to list some things about myself

- I’m 26 as you can see from the title
- from Finland as you can also see from the title
- currently looking for a job (that sounds better than saying I’m unemployed)
- I like documentaries (especially true crime)
- I also like Friends and reality tv shows
- I’m easygoing, funny and like to joke a lot
- In my free time I like to just chill, listen to music, clean, go for long walks and do whatever I feel like doing
- just a normal person

I’d prefer you’d be around my age, not a lot younger or older (25-35). Best way to get to know me is to just chat, not a big fan of conversations that feel like a job interview (even though I wish I’d even get in one). Send me a message and let’s chat 😊

🔊 Voice chat 25F to the guy from Pennsylvania I met here two years ago, I hope you still remember my birthday.

• Upvotes

This is for the guy from Pennsylvania I met on here about two years ago. We lost touch, but I still think about you. Probably more often than I should, considering we don’t even talk anymore.

It’s a little awkward to realize you still remember someone’s favorite book when they’re no longer in your life. I’m actually reading it right now, and I have to say, you always had oddly niche taste.

And whenever I’m at the gym, I still think about your tips. Weirdly enough, some of them have become part of my routine.

I still remember your favorite childhood candy (the lemon-flavored one!), your breakfast routine, and all these silly little details that somehow stuck with me.

Funny how you can forget what you had for dinner yesterday but remember things about someone you haven’t spoken to in years.

I wonder if you ever think about me too?

Umm, I guess that’s all I wanted to say. Will this ever reach you? Probably not.

But on the off chance it does, I hope you still remember my birthday.

Go Pirates, I guess :)

Age 22-25 24F Are you in need of someone you can randomly call and talk about your day and absolutely everything else with? Cuz I am! 🌸

16 Upvotes

Hiyaaa!

Basically, I live by myself and I’m allergic to silence 😂 Which is probably a sign that I should get some roommates, but UGH, I like my own space 🤦🏼‍♀️ THE DILEMMA 😂

Anyhow, if you relate even just a little bit, come on over and let’s keep each other company!

A little about me: I’m 24 and currently studying to become a daycare teacher.

My hobbies include:

Pretty much anything creative
Cooking
Gaming 🎮
Napping (it’s a skill, okay?)
Building LEGO
Reading 📚
Planning vacations (now, I know that’s not technically a hobby, but the amount of time I spend doing it says otherwise 😂)

And much more!

I’m looking for those friendships where we can randomly call each other, talk about our days, share stupid jokes, play games together or just keep each other company while doing absolutely nothing.

Now, VERY important question: What’s one of your guilty pleasures? 👀

Also, I’m definitely more of a “just call me” person than a “let’s text back and forth all day” person 😂 Nothing wrong with texting, I guess I’m just kinda old-fashioned and love hearing people’s voices and all the little things you can’t get through text.

Age 22-25 22M UK / looking for new friends

• Upvotes

Age: 22 | Gender: Male | Location: England

Pretty much the title I’m looking to make new friends don’t mind where you’re from but I’m ideally looking for a long term friend, who I can speak regularly with!

I’d say i’m quite easy to get to know & put in effort when it comes to speaking especially when i become good friends with someone or I’m meeting someone for the first time & we click well. I can be very talkative especially otp, but also a good listener too. To sum it all up i’m looking to make a genuine friendship, hopefully getting to a place where eventually talk to each other about anything! As I said b4 I’m ok with voice calls if that’s your thing, voice notes too & exchanging socials!

Some of my interests are listening to music I listen to so many artists daily, travelling to different countries & in the country, i like gaming sometimes but I lowkey stopped playing Fortnite, I love cooking & baking, taking long walks, watching any type of show/sitcoms, photography, going out to parks & cafes

Age 26-29 28F – Introverted weirdo looking for close connection with a fellow lone wolf.

4 Upvotes

Hey. I haven't quite figured out making friends as someone in their late twenties. I'm hoping to get in touch with like-minded people with similar interests. I'd like to expand my social circle, and hopefully develop a "best friend" connection with someone, over time. I'd like to experience being someone's best friend. Casual friendship is alright, there's a time and a place for it—but casual friendships where you only check in on each other here and there eventually feel more like acquaintanceship to me instead of true friendship. If you're someone who's looking for a deeper connection with someone, on an emotional and intellectual level.. and you're a little bit on the stranger or darker side, I'm looking for you! I'm not typically interested in small talk. I want to have meaningful conversations, and also shoot the shit with someone.

To describe my personality briefly, I'm passionate about what's important to me. I don't like to fret over the small shit. I'm black American, plus size, childfree, atheist, and politically left-leaning. I just want to find my like-minded, lonely, introverted, dark humored, brooding weirdos, if any are out there. I'm typically lighthearted, curious and easygoing. Some of my interests include tech, writing, horror, video games, anime, true crime, history, science, photography, philosophy, traveling, and reading. Music-wise, I adore alternative/indie pop, electronic pop, classic rock, hip-hop and R&B.

Basically, if you're someone who is the introverted, introspective/brooding type who has a little bit of an edgier side and likes a darker sense of humor.. it'd be a joy to become genuine friends, lol. Hit me up if any of this resonates with you. Tell me a bit about yourself.

I'm looking for people who are near my age (26-33—not younger, not older.) I'm really hoping for people from either the US, Canada, or Europe.

Please: No married/partnered men, and/or men with offspring.

Maybe include the phrase "Magdalena Bay" somewhere in your message, so I know you've read this post fully. (It's a band, not a place.)

I look forward to getting to know you. ✧.*

still looking for jobs, still bored with all my hobbies and interests, my meds don't work anymore, and i'm afraid that if i say anything to my psychiatrist he'll just try to up my dose (which will just blunt my emotions fully) and then if i don't wanna try it it'll be med seeking or i'll be wrong for it. idk, i'm tired of sitting all day doing nothing when i'm trying so hard to find a new job. i'm jealous of everyone that's happy.

🎮 Gaming 24F anyone around to chat please??

11 Upvotes

Hello!!

I figured I’d give this a shot and see if I can meet some like-minded people and make a few genuine friendships along the way! I’m hoping to find people 21+ who are around EST and enjoy chatting, gaming, or just hanging out whenever life allows.

I spend a lot of my free time gaming, mostly on PC. Some of my go-to games are Stardew Valley, Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, Dead by Daylight, The Outlast Trials, Dead Island, The Forest, and Silent Hill. I’m always open to trying something new, especially if it involves horror! And if you play Bloodborne, we NEED to talk. Bonus points if you’re down to play together!

When I’m not gaming, you can usually find me cooking something, watching horror movies, or enjoying the outdoors. That said, I’m definitely a homebody at heart. Nothing beats a chilly evening, a cozy night in, and a good spooky movie.

Fall is easily one of my favorite times of the year, and I’m fully embracing the autumn vibes! I’ve also been working my way through the Stardew Valley Cookbook season by season, so that’s been a fun little adventure.

I’d love to meet people who are easygoing, enjoy good conversations, and are genuinely interested in building a friendship. Whether we end up gaming together, talking about horror movies, or rambling about random things, I’m happy to see where things go!

If we share any interests, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself! What games are you playing lately, or what horror movie would you recommend?

Please be 21+!

I’m just a dude looking for some cool people to have great conversations with.

I’m a nerd (D&D, DCC, and anything Tolkien). I dig astronomy and history. I’m 420 friendly. And I work at a freaking zoo! Ok, it’s on guest services and experiences and not actually with animals, but it just means I get paid to be friendly to people. I love it. I am a people-person and thrive with good conversations.

I don’t judge unless you’re a bigot or doing harm to others. So it’s generally a safe space with me.

I’m married and a girldad to an infant. Being a father is absolutely awesome, btw. Never have been so happy than seeing her little face.

So where do you come in? Bring that good vibes energy! Say hello and let’s start a great conversation together and see where it goes.

I’m absolutely down to move to discord if that’s something you’d prefer.

Tell me your favorite zoo animal or your dream vacation destination!

Age 30-39 34F looking for common interests: anime, games, music, movies, history

5 Upvotes

Hey, I'm from the great continent of North America. All hail the eternal winter, depending on where you live. I'm specifically looking for someone to talk to about anime/games/music, and an accountability buddy.

I love beauty wherever it exists: in old objects, buildings, and anime/video game/music/movies. Would love to trade song links, play a game together, break down what works/doesn't work about a game/movie, or banter about nothing.. and I like to talk about accountability goals. I can also go for a chat about how difficult it is to make friends as an adult, if you find yourself in the same situation.

Most of my time is spent walking in the woods. I don't like most modern games or movies (but am happy whenever I find exceptions!). And on that note, here's some examples:

  • Anime: mostly psychological or more iconic series; not super into tropey anime. Perfect Blue, Haibane Renmei, Erased, Inuyasha, Rozen Maiden

  • Games: mostly story driven games and rpgs. Hollow Knight, Stardew, Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, older "retro" games from ps1/ps2/gamecube.

  • Music: mostly game OST and oldies, some mountain music (banjo, fiddle, violin), some lofi, alt-rock, and idk. The main thing I don't like are drums, super EDM electronic beats, and a ton of screaming

  • Movies: mostly movies with a bit of meaning, but I can also go for feel-good films. A huge part of what I like is looking at the world as it was before 2000 (buildings, clothes, objects..)

  • Other: I collect books but don't read a ton (mostly history, general fiction, and classic literature). Right now I'm reading Otherland - Tad Williams

Oh, and by the way, I don't like woke culture. I miss the old internet.
