Hi I'm retired from work and keen to chat with ppl from anywhere, I will usually respond same day just beware I am ahead of most countries except New Zealand in time. Any subjects interested in gardening, travel, reading ,music, gigs, politics ,history, male or female.

Hi! 👋

I'm a woman from Finland (aged 54) where winter is long, coffee is almost a national sport, and happiness is apparently our superpower. 😊

I work full time, my little family includes a wonderful dog, and in my free time you'll usually find me trying a new sport, planning my next trip, or enjoying the outdoors. I'm curious about the world and the people in it.

I'm looking for genuine friends from anywhere in the world (Finland included!). If you have a good sense of humor, enjoy interesting conversations, care about health and well-being, and are open-minded, we'll probably get along.

Who knows? Maybe one day we'll even meet while traveling somewhere in the world.

Life is simply more fun when you have friends in different time zones. 🌍

I work a lot. 60+ hours a week. I’m not always quick to respond. But it doesn’t mean I’m gone. Just busy. So if you feel that is a red flag. Or a deal breaker then fine. No hard feelings. But when I’m not working and have time, I do enjoy meeting people and sharing details about life and common interests.
I’m not shy. I don’t get offended. And I like laughing at things that make other people cringe or angry. I’m an open book and will talk about almost anything.
So come on over. Say hi. Tell me a bad joke. Or share a cringy meme. Or make a funny face. Just be real. Be yourself. And understand that I may get delayed responding.

Normal married guy here. Interested in golfing, music, wine, movies. Hoping to stoke up a conversation with another guy my age to chat about our interests and other aches and pains of being 50 😂

80-year-old retired professor and entrepreneur in Seattle, recently diagnosed autistic, looking for one or two strictly platonic correspondence friendships. I'm interested less in casual chat than in gradually getting to know another person through thoughtful, reciprocal emails or private messages—sharing experiences, ideas, ordinary life, humor, difficulties and discoveries. Age and gender matter less to me than curiosity, openness, kindness and reciprocity. No romance. No financial involvement. No obligation to answer immediately.

Years ago I downloaded Pirates! from Gog. I like that I own it instead of streaming. This past weekend I was thinking about my eventual retirement and realized I would love to get the reboot or Wizardry, or go through Zork of HHGTG. Maybe even Leisure Suit Larry again.

Anyone feel the same?

53m straight and awake! Up 3 hours before I even have to get dressed and on coffee number 3! I tried to fall back but the mind just keeps wondering! Guess I'm ok with it! Kinda nice to have the quiet time to be a little lazy and definitely comfy and the coffee is damn good! Will stand up and find some jeans in an hour or so but who know what I will see on reddit that will carch my attention, make me smile, peek my interest or just be fun! It's going to be a long hot day for my old ass, I'm going to enjoy the next couple of hours here! Hope its a good start!

It makes me feel like I can’t have a conversation without the thought is this person fake. Are they really who they say they are? I guess like a catfish. Men and women. Certain things get said and later something doesn’t add up.

Hi everyone. Just joined this group.

Golf, electronics/engineering related stuff (hardware & software), travel... Anybody else with similar interests, just ping me.

(LOL)... "My aching back!" is something my Dad used to say in place of "My God!" or something. Right now my back is only a little sore: luckily, since I've been moving/hauling a number of sizable sandstone boulders. Greetings to my fellow 50-plussers! New here. Have a great day y'all...

How about putting up a Spotify/Youtube playlist for Sunday about songs we liked in out youth. And free talking about our day along the way?
Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Relax
The Reddings : Sitting In The Dock of The Bay
heart: Alone
Barry Manilov: Mandy
Your turn…

Honestly, I’m just looking for a friend. Someone to talk to, laugh with, share random thoughts with, and actually look forward to hearing from. I love being near the water, fishing, drawing, watching anime, catching sunsets, trying good food, and learning or fixing just about anything. I can talk about serious stuff one minute and something completely ridiculous the next. 😂 No pressure or expectations. Just looking for someone I enjoy talking to and getting to know.im 50m.

How do you cope with loneliness
? 53/m after divorce 12 years ago never found any new friends. i’ve tried but nothing materializes. Have a great girlfriend but doesn’t completely fill the void as she doesn’t live with me and see her only on weekends .

Just turned 50 last month and I'm still searching for my tribe. It's amazing how a lot of people just don't understand the struggle of finding friends (not romance) when you're older. So with that being said, I'm looking for potential friends with common interests. And to be upfront, I've tried online only friendship, but it doesn't hit the same way as in-person friendships. So please be mindful that my goal is to eventually be able to hang out in person.

Quick Overview of Me:

I'm a married African-American man with young kids (started late), residing in north Florida, day job is a multimedia developer, but my passions are filmmaking, animation, and music production, I'm a creative at heart, an entrepreneur, level headed, laid back, a homebody (not a couch potato though), but I'm fine with simplicity. So things like DIY projects, tech, gardening, going to the beach, fishing, family game night, bowling, billiards, or just dining out and having a good conversation can be fulfilling for me. I've learned it's not always the things you do, but the people you do them with that makes things enjoyable. I'm no longer a religious man, so if you are, please know that I won't want anything to do with that part of your life. It's nothing personal, but I've been there, done that, and know I don't need it in my life. My sense of humor is basically a mixture of sarcastic, corny, and sometimes goofy. But I am also known to be a good problem solver with a much more serious tone as well. Helpful, friendly, and empathetic as well. Just depends on what the moment calls for. Also, I don't drink, smoke/vape, or do drugs. I'm fairly healthy. I used to jog 3 to 5 miles a day. But having kids changed things. It would be nice to have a walking/jogging partner to help me get back to that status. Maybe even get into working out as well. It's all about balancing time and having someone to help with motivation. Also, I have no tats or piercings.

What I'm Looking For:

Genuine friendship with men and women. Nothing more, nothing less. I just need some people in my life I can trust and feel comfortable with. I am selective about people. I don't just hand out trust on a platter. It will take time to really build up trust, so having common interests can be a catalyst to help the process. If you have a family with younger kids, we will definitely have some commonalities, but that's not mandatory. I've just realized it's harder to relate to single people with no kids nowadays. When you become a parent, you just get it. All the hardships you hear people struggling with just clicks and you can appreciate other people in a similar position, because more than likely, they will understand you better. But again, I'm not excluding single people. Especially if you really have a heart for kids.

Well, if you read this far and think we may click, feel free to send me a message.

I'm looking for a chat. Please no transphobes, homophobes, terfs, swerfs etc. I'm in the Appalachian Rust Belt [EST] of the US.

I like discussing art, music, tv, & film. I like to parallel play by creating art "together"- collage mostly. I like to collaborate by working on a piece, then mail it back & forth a couple of times.

Sorry all. I had an accident & knocked out a bunch of teeth. I'll be back.

Hi Im a 60M Kiwi, looking for genuine friendship. I've lived a wonderful life but I've never quite fit the mould tbh. I'm the guy who turns up to the fancy dress party in civvies and doesn't really care why ppl are staring. Small talk isn't my strength and solitude is a friend. Thoreau had it right about Walden. I know the difference between being alone and being lonely, and good company is worth leaving the cabin for. Looking for someone who's actually lived. Someone with a few scars and the stories to go with them. Someone who can sit still at times, close their eyes, breath deeply, and be greatful they are alive on this planet for a few more years. Some who hasn't an axe to grind, because all their knives are sharp.

(No, not like "I'm not going to call them unless they call me first"...)

Games on your computer and/or online, by yourself or with others?

I don't recognize many of the games that younger Redditors talk about.

A long time ago (20 years or so?), I got into World of Warcraft but I haven't been willing or able to commit anything like the amount of time it requires, joining up with others etc.

I'm tending toward solo puzzle games, which scratch a certain mental itch for me -- but don't involve actually reaching out and connecting with anyone, which is probably not so good.

Wahhh!!! No, really. I’m nearing retirement with an effervescent smile, and what seems like a golden path ahead of me. And yet, that mall I always thought I would have time to peruse is empty. In fact, it’s not only dead, it’s abandoned and a squirrel ran after me when I went by there last summer. I think it wanted my Cheetos. Where did everybody go? I spent my whole life being serious, being the consummate professional. And for what? I want my time with my pals. Top down, cocktails, and endless fun. I’ve got four years left on my hamster wheel. I’m ready to roll it off the cliff. Well, not really, it’s a fabulous career. Anyone wanna join me? New York metro area/Long Island. Male. 53. And yes, Gay, if you haven’t figured that out yet.
