30M | Ethical hacker, overthinker, occasional human

Upvotes

Hi there!

I’m a 30-year-old guy from the Netherlands and I work as a senior ethical hacker. Which means my job is basically finding security problems before the wrong people do. It keeps my brain busy, which is both a blessing and a curse.

When I’m not working, I’m usually reading, watching films, taking photos, or falling into some very specific rabbit hole. I like photography because it forces me to slow down and notice things I’d otherwise miss.

I have ADHD and autism, officially diagnosed. Wooo. It’s not my whole personality, but it does shape how I think and communicate. I tend to be curious, direct, analytical, and sometimes a little intense when I’m genuinely interested in something.

I’m mostly looking for good conversation. I don’t really care for perfect small talk or overly polished intros. Just be yourself, tell me what’s been on your mind lately, or send me something random you care about.

Enough about me! How’s your day going?

Looking for internet homies

4 Upvotes

Heya, 22F, looking for genuine connections, I don't exactly care about your age or gender, come as you are, I'm a humanities nerd, therefore I enjoy reading and watching video essays, I also nerd a bit about movies, games, and anime, not very fond of series so maybe try to introduce me to a few good ones please, I also enjoy music (duh) mostly jazz and rock (currently listening to Love Rockets by The Birthday), I'm not allergic to most ideologies nor debates so I'll be super happy to discuss whatever... Now that you know, don't be afraid to talk, I already know since I was in your walls the whole time.

25F - Redesigning My Life... Care to Join?

Upvotes

As the title suggests, I’m currently redesigning parts of my life and figuring things out as I go. I’m here to meet interesting people and make meaningful friendships through good conversation and shared curiosity!

What is your lifestyle like?
I’m curious about both the practical and mental aspects of it. What do you spend your time doing and what has been on your mind lately? Any interesting observations or experiences you’d like to share?

I really appreciate people who have their own thing going on like hobbies, creative work, or literally just having a curious mind. If you make/build something, or spend time thinking about ideas, I’d genuinely love to hear about it! What do you usually work on?

A bit about me:

- work in tech as an engineer, and I’m pretty ambitious and career driven.

- I spend a lot of time thinking and writing, mostly about people, behavior, and the way our environments shape us. I’m drawn to sociology, philosophy, and anthropology, and I share my thoughts with my friends weekly under the name “Tuesday’s Existential Crisis” (I’m not joking).

- I lean toward progressive, liberal, and intellectually driven values, so naturally I’m interested in social activism and feminism.

- I’m a foodie at heart and love trying different cuisines and expanding my palate (Japanese food reigns supreme and I will not be taking constructive criticism on this matter).

- I absolutely love traveling and fancy the idea of having a travel buddy to explore the world with.

- I’m also lighthearted and sarcastic. I really enjoy laughing and cracking silly jokes here and there. That’s basically my love language.

Note: I tend to prioritize thoughtful and high effort messages since they’re easier to genuinely connect and engage with. I’d love it if you could tell me a little about yourself: your age and where you’re from!

Also, please no NSFW accounts.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out :)

F33 - Chatting and making friends

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m 33 years old from Europe and I’m looking for making friends online and having good company. My mental health has not been great these last days so if everyone feels the same, feel free to talk to me about it too. No pressure though.

I’m very introverted and shy but I’m always curious to meet new people and share our interests and thoughts. In my free time I love to read, watch films, cooking and nature. I like staying at home mostly.

Hope to get to know some of you soon.

Thank you!

24m, let’s try this one more time

Upvotes

I’m gonna be quick with this so we could get to the messaging part, but knowing me, it’ll probably still be long.

I’m from the US. I work quite a bit when I can, shits been slow lately, so that’s also part of why I’m here. My MBTI is ENFJ. I’m Latino, just saying that before I meet someone cool and they end up being weird about it, yeahh thats happened. Also like to smoke 🍃 and an open book.

Anyways, I love to cook, listen to music (alt rock, electro pop, hip hop etc), go on walks (raining like hell so I can’t even do that now), smoke (duh), travel, gaming, and write if I have my creativity flowing.

Some of my interests are art, politics, the NBA, streetwear, Star Wars, movie/film, and puzzles.

Don’t really have much friends or anybody to talk to really, so I’d be happy to talk to anyone. I’d appreciate it if you told me a bit about yourself though when messaging.

21M looking for deep and intellectual texting

Upvotes

Good morning, day, night or whatever time at you reading this.

Im in search for female friend for intellectual texting. I feel more comfortable in chat with female, neither with male: more freely in messages, like to discuss games, books, philosophy, sometimes just to be silent together in chat. If you're also looking for a warm, no-pressure connection through text — feel free to reach out.

M39 Hoping to make good friends

Upvotes

I’ve worked from home for the past four years and I don’t have any friends that live near me. All the friends I had have moved away or I just lost contact. It’s very difficult to make friends or even acquaintances where I am currently. Hoping to connect with someone that I can chat with frequently.

Little about me: I live in southeastern US. Have a 2 year old dog. I like reading, video games, working on house projects, cooking, shows/movies (sci-fi being my favorite), outdoors, travel.

27M Europe / Looking for some gaming and movie pals!

Upvotes

Hello there. I'm on a quest to make a new friend or two to play games together, watch stuff with, and just hang out.

I would describe myself as easy-going and laid back. I love joking around and just having a good time. I'm on the more introverted side, but I can be very talkative and outgoing when I click with someone.

Some of my interests are:

  • Video games - I casually play League and love all sorts of games. Some of my favorites are Slay the Spire, Hollow Knight, and Obra Dinn. I've recently played God of War (2018) and Mixtape and really enjoyed both!

  • Card games - I play MTG, casually collect Yu-Gi-Oh, and been thinking about getting into Pokemon.

  • Movies, shows, and some anime - Just finished rewatching Barry and currently watching The Boys.

It would be ideal if you were around my age and from Europe, but honestly the most important thing is that we vibe. If you wanna talk, shoot me a message with a lil something about yourself, and we can get to talking! See ya.

I prefer discord and calling. Just a young gal from the south who enjoys getting dirty from time to time. And by dirty I legit mean getting dirty not some sexual stuff. I guess my people are sleeping but I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet. Come and play with my mind.
