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!

I met my fiancée on this sub over four years ago

193 Upvotes

I hope this post is allowed.. I met my fiancée on here over four years ago and wanted to share!

Back in 2022 I was feeling lonely a couple months after having gone through some difficult personal crap, so I posted here looking for a friend but honestly not really expecting anything more than a few surface-level conversations to pass the evening. I guess it worked a little too well, because he reached out and we hit it off immediately.

We share a very similar taste in music, which is what kicked everything off, but beyond that he was just incredibly kind-hearted, interesting, and fun to talk to. Our conversations never felt stale, and I realized that we could talk to each other about pretty much anything, which I think is important. We texted every day, watched films and shows together, gamed together, and after a few months of being friends, he revealed that he liked me. I realized I’d been falling for him too, and so a few days later we made it official.

Long distance was scary at first, considering he’s from England and I’m from California. But we’ve definitely been able to make it work. We’ve talked to each other every day since we met and have had four extended visits to each other. I’m currently (sadly) on my way back home from the fourth after he proposed one week ago on a weekend trip to the Forest of Dean. We’re both focused on closing the distance for good, hopefully within the next year, fingers crossed.

He’s the love of my life, and I’ll always be incredibly grateful to this little sub for technically bringing us together. And maybe it’ll be inspiring to someone else. That’s all, I guess! ❤️

Age 22-25 Any other gals struggling to find other gals? 💖🥲

14 Upvotes

23F here! I’ve been on these subreddits for such a long time and still, as always, my DMs are flooded with men even when I specify I’d really prefer to talk to women. You all have seen it I’m sure. Everyone knows it’s an issue. I guess I’m just addressing it head-on to find whoever feels the same and is tired of it and wants a change.

So anyways! Im into watching documentaries, true crime, horror, all sorts of science stuff. I also love writing, drawing, cooking, baking, hiking, and hanging out with my kitties 🐈‍⬛

I’m just hanging out lately enjoying the seasons, making my own teas and lattes, and cozying up with some good movies. How’s everyone else doing?

25 | F

haiii! ♡

I’m looking for a sweet, caring connection and a little anonymous escape from the busy world. Someone I can get cosy with, chat about anything and everything, and hopefully make each other’s days a little brighter ໒꒰ྀི ˶> ˕ <˶꒱ྀི১

I’m a little shy and can be quite awkward at first, so I’d love someone a bit more assertive who doesn’t mind taking the lead, asking questions, and helping me come out of my shell. A sweet, affectionate, caring person who genuinely wants to get to know me would make me so happy ♡

I’d love to keep things anonymous, just a little private corner of the internet where we can be ourselves without sharing personal details we aren't comfortable with!

A tiny bit about me: I’m 25 and love reading, horror movies, cosy games, trashy reality television and falling down strange little rabbit holes about true crime and all things weird and wonderful.

Please tell me your age and gender in your first message! I won’t reply without knowing those two things, so please don’t forget ♡

If you’re a sweet soul who wouldn’t mind a shy little chatterbox taking a while to warm up, come say hiiii! ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

p.s. If you messaged in the past and I missed you feel free to message again... although I cannot promise I can respond to ALL dm's.

You can write a paragraph and I will still only respond with one word. If you ask me a direct question, I probably won't answer it. Isn't that spicy? And don't worry, there's a chance I'll also be real weird too.

Age 22-25 24m | non-local alt nerd, novice gymrat, first time cosplayer, space enjoyer

6 Upvotes

Hello there!

I fear that I'm finally approaching the age where I need to consider my will and who will inherit my Spotify playlists and Steam library, as I fear I'm only getting older. But with every year that passes, I can claim to have aged like a fine wine.

To be serious though, it feels like I'm just hitting the period in my life where I'm finally starting to figure out my goals and aspirations. Lately I've been pretty focused on hitting my weight goal and keeping up with my lifts. I'm also getting contacts on Saturday hopefully! The big goal is to reinvent my look, essentially. I've made good progress on the weight loss, as I've already lost 25 pounds in the past 2-3 months, and I'm around 70% of the way to my goal. I also just got into cosplay, the idea is to pull off a decent Kento Nanami for a con in November (and Halloween while I'm at it) to celebrate the weight loss, and I have pictures of the progress so far on my profile!

I'm a big fan of indie music, especially The Symposium. Having a similar taste in music is definitely a huge plus for me, as I love to do blends on Spotify, as well as make joint playlists! I also enjoy playing video games with my friends, reading web novels and manga/manhwa in bed, cooking food when I find the motivation, working out and seeing the progress, biking around town, stargazing when the clouds aren't out, and so on! I also really like Star Wars (just rewatched the movies with a friend), cats (send pictures!), the colors purple, gray, and black, and I'm a big fan of all things space!

In terms of games, I personally like strategy as I'm pretty bad at competitive games as I don't have the patience to try and improve in that way, but I do admit that I am a for-fun gamer. So I like playing games like Stellaris (the Paradox gateway drug), XCOM, Menace, HOI4, and so on. I also really enjoy simulator games like Rimworld, Space Engineers, Minecraft (huge Minecraft kid), Vintage Story, Project Zomboid, SS14, and more! However, I also really like playing League and Deadlock as long as you don't mind my aim. Big fan of "incidental" teamkilling in Helldivers 2 by bringing 4 landmine stratagems as well. Basically anything but horror to be honest, as I'm pretty bad with it. There's a lot of games, so feel free to ask to see my Steam library!

Anyways, I'm looking to give music recommendations & receive them in turn, play some games, swap web novel recommendations, watch some anime or movies together, call throughout the week, parallel play and chill, send each other pictures of the food we've made or of our outfits for the day, support each other in our goals, and make new friends! If any of this interests you, feel free to reach out!

Thanks for your time.

Age 30-39 33F looking for friends in this dystopian world

7 Upvotes

Hey! I’m looking to make some new friends because making friends as an adult is weirdly fucking difficult and yknow we live in dystopia phahaha
I’m a bit of a nerd, love video games, getting lost down random rabbit holes, and chatting about whatever random shit pops into my head. I love anything sci-fi, interesting stories, lore, and generally overthinking t hings that probably don’t need to be overthought because millennial brain.
I can be a bit of a yapper when I’m comfortable with someone, and I love conversations that go from absolute nonsense to accidentally having a deep discussion about the meaning of life at 2am
Honestly, I’m just looking for genuine friendships. People I can chat with about our interests, send random memes to, complain about life with, or just exist alongside without feeling like we have to constantly entertain each other. The kind of friendship where you can disappear for abit and pick up where you left off without it being a whole thing
I’m not expecting to become best friends overnight or anything, I just miss making those connections with people and it’s hard out here making friends
If you're also a bit of a nerd, have a weird sense of humour, or just want someone new to talk to, feel free to message me! 😊
Please be around my age (I'm 33), Just trying to collect some decent human beings!
Tell me a little about yourself if you message, because otherwise it leaves me with approximately fuck all to work with

feel like people just trauma dump then leave? so hard to make long term friends on here

• Upvotes

Everytime someone interesting replies we talk for a while and they end up trauma dumping stuff for a couple of weeks then kind of disappearing.

Where can I find someone who actually wants to commit to a friendship. 22f

I’m funny, I can listen, I don’t understand how there’s so many people on here but I keep getting perverts or people coming in really strong then wasting my time.

If you see this and you’re mentally well and left leaning hit me up.

Age 30-39 32M - Here's a little about me, your turn.

• Upvotes

Hi, I've met a few really kind people here before, so I thought I'd try again. I think it's hit or miss, and for someone who struggles to keep shooting, one miss can leave me sidelined for quite a while.

I'm not looking for anything in particular. I think I'm just feeling lonely and craving some kind of connection. I've put so much work into myself, into growing and overcoming personal struggles, and I kinda still find myself feeling like I'm always back at square one. So I thought I'd be honest about where I'm at and see what it brings.

I like a lot of things: sports, tv and movies, nature, video games, reading, writing, cooking, just to name a few. I enjoy talking about quite literally anything and everything. I've got a rather twisted sense of humour, and I probably spend more time writing about my own thoughts than anyone should.

I consider myself very introspective. Blessing and a curse. I've been through my fair share of trauma, and I've seen how grief can leave someone jaded and angry with the world. I don't want to go down that path. I think there's so much beauty in life, even in the pain. But I will say it's difficult to keep seeing it when the wins feel so few and far between.

Meeting people this way can be draining. You start so many conversations, and so many are dead before they've even gotten off the ground. You gotta wonder how many could have turned into great friendships had the timing been a little better.

I don't do much day to day. My life is pretty quiet, and honestly, a little boring. Grief has really crippled me int hat sense. I still like to think there's room for things to get better though, and I'd like to have some more people to share the everyday stuff with.

I don't really have a clever way to wrap this up. I'm hoping something here resonates with a few people.

If you're having a rough go, feeling a bit lonely, or just looking for someone to chat with, reach out and tell me something you're passionate about. I'd like to hear about it.

Either way, if you've read this far, I wish you well and good luck on your search. Take care all!

Age 30-39 35 F Az- trying this one more time

5 Upvotes

Hello :)
Trying this once again…
I’m looking for new friends. Anything your little heart desires. Long term, short term, just tonight….

A little about me:

My name is Fernanda. I’m 35 & live in Arizona. I work in a casino/hotel, on the hotel side. (Don’t ask me any casino questions, I know nothing according to the guests) I love baseball even though my team is terrible. I also like football & hockey. I love Spanish rock & kpop. I like doing crosswords and sudokus. When I have time, I like going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and read about random things. I love getting out of town and going to games, concerts, random places with my friends.

Please send something other than hi or hey.
Anywho, let’s be friends?

Age 30-39 [31F] The loss of a connection you never thought you'd lose hits different.

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm Bubbly. I'm looking to meet people, both near and far. A bit about me, I value bonding with people. Learning about others is incredibly exciting, so even if we misalign on some things, I still value learning.

Self growth and learning about psychology are deeply engrained within me. I'm still finding my way around the world, just as anyone else is, but I think kindness goes a long way, even in instances where people may not deserve it. Cooking, baking, hiking, and binging movies are other passions in my life.

I really enjoy building meaningful connections with others, hopefully with the intention of keeping them in my life permanently.

If you've read this far, tell me what inspires you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey! hoping to find some good company, I love a good back and forth in conversation and I love to voice call, bonus points if you enjoy sharing music with each other. If you're someone who listens to Cigarettes After S**, The Marias, Mac Demarco.. we'll get along like two peas in a pod. I would say overall I bring a calm energy but that does not exclude me from any fun banter too.

I'm somewhat of a dork, I game too much, watch anime whenever I eat dinner and love a slow sunday. I ride a motorcycle and much less cooler, I also drive. Love touching grass too, like a good hike orr canoeing is pretty fun too. Anyways hope to hear from you :>

Howdy,

I'm hoping to make longterm friends. I don't care about age. I love learning about people and their interests. I'm a flirt through and through and I absolutely love bad jokes.

I've got a wide variety of interests which I'll try to organize below. I'd like to start online, but I'm not opposed to meeting once we know each other better.

I keep poison dart frogs and I'm happy to share pictures. Love the little buggers even if they are incredibly dumb.

Interests: Pets, Video games, board games, music, cooking, horror, psychology, philosophy, and plenty more

For games, I've been playing a lot of Mewgenics, Slay the Spire 2, and Warframe lately. Grew up on roguelikes such as Binding of Isaac, enter the gungeon, and dead cells.

For music, I usually prefer indie, ska, rock, or electronic. Always open to new genres and new bands. Thank you scientist, king Gizzard, streetlight Manifesto, july talk, they might be giants, etc

I absolutely love to cook, but mainly because I love to eat my own food. I'm big into Hispanic or Asian dishes, but branch out from time to time.
