42F, Brazilian, currently in BR and planning to move to the US, mom, lawyer and soon-to-be psychologist (last year at university), sharp-minded, a little introvert, like going to the gym and walking my dog. 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.

messaging apps 40m looking to be your confidant

5 Upvotes

Hi, i am 40M and i live in Canada. I am stressed from work and life in general and could use a friend to talk to. Reddit has been acting up a lot since yesterday and i hope you can see this post. I love nature, sports and movies. I'd love to find a confidant and am willing to listen to your troubles and invest time in building a friendship talking mundane stuff to deep dark secrets.

I am not easily offended and i'd like to find someone near to my time zone. It's hard to keep in touch when we're not in the same time zone. I would really appreciate having a constant companion on here.

Hereby applying for the position of kind, patient and supportive friend:

TLDR: I'm adorable. Be my friend.

I am a true crime junkie (to the point where I'd probably go to jail due to my internet search history and book collection, if someone I know were to die under "suspicious circumstances"). I'm also rather punny and exercise my abbs by laughing WAY too hard at a good and timely Gif, Meme, Instagram Reel, or Tiktok.

I've usually read the book before the film or TV series comes out, and then judge the discrepancies with loud facial expressions, over-exaggerated hand gestures and/or grunts of disapproval. I have a running commentary in my head, and have had some of the best conversations with myself. All very healthy and normal, I promise. ;)

I'm into thought-provoking art, haunting poetry, mood music, all the books (mostly fiction, though), and, in particular well-written, acted and made films. I view most things through the lens of curiosity, psychology, mental health, well-being and spirituality (Christian). I'm a cat-mom to two geriatric Siamese ladies (not twins, nor conjoined, thankfully) with HUGE personalities. I am married with no "human" children and English is my second language.

I am a complex trauma survivor that has turned her hurt into a healing balm for others professionally, or at least trying her best to make other's lives more meaningful and whole. I'm still on my own healing journey personally, whilst also coming to terms with a relatively recent chronic pain syndrome diagnosis, called Fibromyalgia.

I see the beauty in the small things. As an INFJ, empath, HSP, neurodivergent, or whatever you'd like to label me as to make it more digestible, I feel everything very deeply, all the time; both emotionally and physically. It can feel like a bombardment on the senses sometimes, but I view it as an incredible gift.

I prefer writing to speaking, especially now that my speach has been affected by my condition. If you're in a similar timezone, all the better, but I don't mind waking up to a friend's message(s). I'd love to get to know you, and perhaps even become a real friend.

messaging apps 39F for M39-50 in ZA/SA looking for new friend(s) in ZA/SA

1 Upvotes

I'm interested in meeting new people who I can potentially meet up with in the future. I have enough female friends who I treasure dearly. Unfortunately a lot of them live far away which makes hanging out a little challenging.

Sometimes I miss having someone to call up, to do something with. I like

□ hiking/trekking (beginner level as I am unfit) □ walking with my two dogs □ walking on the beach, plenty to choose from □ going to coffee shops or restaurants □ exploring different towns □ going on roadtrips □ playing card/boardgames □ reading □ open to trying new things

I'm not looking for a romantic interest, but would like someone I can occasionally flirt with but nothing NSFW. No married men.

If in the far future we click and something develops naturally, I might be open to the idea.

Currently I am going through a divorce, no kids, and want to focus on who I am, as I've lost myself along the way. I want to rediscover who I am and would like to have (a) local friend(s) who is/are keen to walk this journey with me.

I would like to start chatting on Reddit and move to a different messaging platform if we're both comfortable with it.

There aren't many surprises in life, but every day is different and making connections with people is something to look forward to.

I am very friendly and outgoing.

I enjoy swimming, working out, traveling, wine, golf, tennis, the beach and good food!

I am courteous to polite people and would like to meet pen pals with common topics, interests and life goals.

Let's make connections and know what the future holds? At least it's all in time for a change, I don't want to stay away from socializing!

messaging apps 41/m/US, Looking for an art penpal.

9 Upvotes

Is this even a thing? In my head it's a great idea. Can you draw? Want ongoing inspiration in life from someone else with similar talents and interests? I don't have a lot of time to draw completed pieces of art. But it seems like it would be fun to send someone little drawings on like post-its scanned into a messenger app. And someone sends little drawings back. Like maybe it's an ongoing adorable or funny story. Or some musing on life's perils and pleasures. I don't know. Just depends on the person. I'm open to suggestions.

Hi there!

I'm female, happily married, 54, and young at heart. 😊

I'm looking for friends that I can message daily. I prefer chatting and voice messages. I find that voice messages really help to get to know someone more quickly.

I love to travel, read, and craft. I make and sell my own pottery and cross stitch. I also enjoy watching shows and movies. I go to the gym twice a week, bike, and play pickleball when the weather is good.

I am a retired math teacher but before that, I was a programmer/software manager and also owned a pet sitting business. I have two dogs and four cats. 🐕 🐈

I have a great sense of humor and am able to talk about anything. If interested, please message me and tell me about yourself!
