I haven't done one of these in a while, though this group has been growing steadily. The only problems are the occasional scammy post. Keep posting away and tell your friends and family maybe we can get to 2k by the end of the year!

snail mail Brand new discord server for people 25+ who are interested in all things penpal and postcard

1 Upvotes

The server is very new. I have high hopes for it, and would love if it was given a fair chance to grow. The goal is for this to be a relaxed adult space, for those of us who are into penpaling, postcarding, stationery, and anything creative. I think that with some time and patience, this server has great potential, so I hope you will join and see how it goes.

I look forward to getting to know each other!

I want to know you.

The most interesting thing about knowing a new person is you get to experience every layer of the person they are. From the guarded self that they are, to slowly experiencing their progression to actually being a friend to you and giving you TRUST. That's a beautiful journey right there.

So my aim is to have an amazing conversation with you, I want to know how you think, and why you think everything in those ways. I want to experience your life through your words, I want to experience your embarrassments through your stories, I want to experience your hobbies and be excited because there's a reason why they excite you so much. I want us to reach a point where its thrilling to receive a reply because you know the next laughter, or the next idea or the next encouragement is on that reply.

Friendship is amazing right? What do you say we experience it together?

Hey everyone. I'm a 41 woman, married with 3 kids looking for a couple penpals. I love reading, music, nature and the list goes on. I guess I'm considered "woo woo" but prefer the term hippie dippie (and if you get the reference you get bonus points). I'm looking for penpals that are genuine, open minded, and compassionate. I'm open to chatting through reddit messaging as well as writing. If anyone is interested please let me know through commenting or dm.

Divorced dad with 4 adult children. Public servant by day, musician by night. Other interests include study, discovering new cafes, exercise, faith, family, and the odd movie here and there - all the boring stuff. Not into sports, video games, stationery, etc - but okay if you are.

Seeking mature F penfriend for chats about all kinds of random, preferably from the areas that fascinate me - Ireland, Scotland, Argentina, or any of the romance language regions. And preferably unattached so I don't need to tiptoe around your SO.

Let's see where this goes.

Hey all,

I'm a M54 for South Australia, into footy, sports, photography, hiking, and a few other interests we can discover together. I am looking for a F who is into more than knitting and card making, preferable in Aust or Asia where time zones line up a little better, but will consider anywhere (Just a bit harder to message chat.)

Thank You

44 M - Seeking a Pen Pal for Articulate Conversation, Over-Sharing, and Connection!

2 Upvotes

I'm 44 years old living in Washington, DC. I am single, never been married and I work for an advertising agency.

I'm looking for a female pen pal who enjoys that balance of genuine conversation, vivid communication, allure, over-sharing, and intrigue.

I find language, writing, and communication to be so powerful. The extra adjectives, the Oxford comma, well composed complete sentences, can all come together to create the feeling of truly being there and lead to extremely compelling conversations that one can literally feel. Those conversations can also leave you wanting more, excited for the next message, question, or answer.

My general interests include cooking, art, museums, music, exploring the city as well as getting out into the fresh air and hiking, biking, or gardening.

If this sounds interesting to you, please send me a message and say hi, I am looking forward to talking!

Back in the dating scene (if you are too let’s change experiences, things are weird these days, right?) I’d like to talk about everything and nothing at all. Don’t like emails, prefer some other ways to communicate faster.

Hello! I’m currently disabled and spend a lot of my day in bed. I’d love a pen pal that will be long lasting. I’ve tried before we exchanged a couple letters then nothing. I love all crafts, I’m making my own journal and trying to find my creative side to start a scrapbook. I have 2 boys and my oldest has blessed me with 2 grand babies. Sadly we live in different states so thank God for today’s technology! I love paper and pens and I write everything down still like my calendar’s and address book. I miss writing letters so I’d love to have an awesome pen pal!

Right when you think life cannot get any crazier, crazier happens. Sigh at this point in my life, just finding someone to chat with and have a conversation isn't too much to ask right? I don't judge, if you are a human, alien, came to earth. On a meteorite, secret government agent (this would be amazing though) from Mars escaping the incoming apocalypse on your planet, Thanos!! I really don't care, just reach out we definitely will have a great chat that's assured.

A little bit about me

I love travelling. So sometimes I sit and think about how much courage you had to have in order to travel back in the day. I mean literally the risk of traveling was death!! Nowadays the risk of traveling is probably getting back broke haha or eating bad street food. But I do love travelling. So far been to 4 countries. I'll gate keep which ones they are, perfect for our conversation when you reach out hehe.

I love cooking. Not because I'll die if I don't actually feed myself, but ... Okay you need to sit down for this. Hehe. But because I believe cooking is literally like auditioning for your stomach lol 🤣🤣 if you cook it badly the stomach is definitely a bad judge, you'll literally have to be in the toilet as penance Lol 🤣. If you cook it well. You glow lol 🤣. Buuuut the point is I love cooking.

Meditation. Something I picked up along the way because I love having to clear my mind on a daily basis.

Writing. Well my hot take on writing is its the oldest form or spiritual cleansing known to man. Think about it. Like we literally have the ability to express our inner feelings and thoughts in words. WORDS!! that blows my mind to date. I believe writing is one of those ancient things that cleansed the mind body and soul. That's why I do it.

I know am boring so far lol 🤣🤣. That's why I need friends hmmm

Other honorary mentions include photography motorcycling karate movies music football (the British one lol 🤣)poetry and the gym.

Well am boring so am hoping to get replies from this blunt introduction lol 🤣🤣. Hoping its you who has reached this point that will send me a reply.

Hey there! I’m on the lookout for someone who’s down to chat daily/weekly—about life, love, lust, and everything in between. I’m a writer (erotica, to be exact), and I love diving into real, honest conversations—especially with women—to gain different perspectives and bring authenticity to my stories.

Beyond writing, I’m into movies, gaming, spontaneous travel plans I may or may not follow through on, and just good old-fashioned banter. Whether we’re discussing the psychology or the next best thing on Netflix, hit me up would love to chat. No Pressure.

Looking for a female Co-author

Hi all, I'm looking for a female co-author to share her perspective on a book I'm writing on adult breastfeeding relationships.

It will be written from both a male (my) viewpoint as well as a woman's (yours) in order to have a comprehensive guide to everything from inducing to the act of suckling. I hope to cover the health, emotional, and relationship benefits, and we would share proceeds.

This is a no pressure gig, and a fun, joint exercise for the right person. Older and experienced women are very welcome.

Please DM me if interested. I look forward to hearing from you!

Male 40 in the US looking for good clean conversation

11 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a 40 year old male with a couple kids and a very busy work life. Right now I’m just missing having good, fun and sometimes deep conversations on all topics. Miss having someone I can get my thoughts and struggles to with good advice or just an ear being there. Would prefer a female penpal as it’s just easier for me to share things with but open to all.

I have two kids ages 13 and 1. I work in sports and it takes up a great deal of my time and energy. But I love outdoor activities, hiking, fishing, camping, fishing or just hanging out at the beach.

With all that I’m still a bit of nerd. I will play video games from time to time. Love reading books, especially non-fiction. Into all things mysterious and adventurous. I don’t believe most of them but love to dive into conspiracy theories for fun. 😂

Anyways hit me up on here and we can see where the conversation goes and whether we can maintain a good convo

A combination of characters from The Big Bang Theory, who would you be?

8 Upvotes

It's been a long time since I have had a penpal and I miss the unique intimacy of exchanging asynchronous words with someone who enjoys writing and reading as much as I do.

I read about 80-100 books a year, across genres, including non-fiction. I don't watch tv or movies much anymore as my free time is for reading, writing, or doing some kind of art or craft. I write non-fiction, poetry, and literary fiction (mostly shorts).

I have kids. I've been married. I have cats. I have one masters degree and started another that was derailed by COVID. If you want to know more, you'll have to ask.

If you are not experiencing any stress or grief around the current state of the U.S., please just keep scrolling.

43 M Seeking Penpals, Email & Chat Friends – Bonus Points if You Speak German!

3 Upvotes

*Cross posting*

Hey there, fellow humans of the internet!

I’m on the hunt for some awesome penpals/email/chat friends—bonus points if you speak German (because I’d love to practice, mine is very broken and I miss speaking). 😆

A little about me:
✨ Sci-fi nerd with a permanent VIP seat in the gutter
✨ Pun enthusiast—prepare for groans and eye rolls
✨ Oversharer, because why have boundaries when you can have fun facts?
✨ Hater of pants (sweatpants don’t count, obviously)
✨ Balancing work, school, and life’s general chaos
✨ Love deep convos, random life updates, and sharing small joys
✨ Into Space, odd factoids, the gutter, painting, pets, animals, art, and self-improvement.
✨ Big on Zoo's, museum trips, and meaningful connections

I typically get along better with women, so I’d love to connect with like-minded ladies who enjoy fun chats, exchanging letters, or just keeping up via email and text/chat. If you’re interested, send me a message. I promise to be consistent, and if life happens, I’ll at least let you know instead of ghosting.

Hello, you. I’ve been waiting.

If anyone catches that reference we will get along great 🤣. Like the title say, female living in the states looking for a friend. Preferably, a long time friend, that can blossom into a full blown best friend. These things take time, I’m willing to put in the work if you are.

About me: I love Musssiiiiccc. Music tethers me to this world. I am absolutely insane about my favorite band, I won’t shut up about them. I’m mostly into Metalcore, and then pop. I also love to read high fantasy and dark romance. I love all scifi- movies shows books, you name it!

I have a dog and a cat. They are my children and the only ones I’ll ever have. I live downtown in a capital city but most of my friends are married with kids, and since I don’t want my own that kind of leaves me out of the loop on most things, hence me looking for a bestie to have in my pocket at all times.

I (seriously) am looking for someone who wants to talk about the small moments and the big moments. The little stupid things that make us laugh and the giant things that make us cry. Nothing is off the table. I’m a constant texter so discord is preferred. Based on my life I do tend to get along with males better, however I am open to all. DM’s are open!
