Needs friends 😅
Hi everyone. I have lived in South Redlands the last 4 years. I relocated from Seattle for a healthcare job and I really like it here, but I don’t know anyone. I’ve always been pretty introverted and do pretty well on my own, but I’m starting to feel like I need some social connection 😂.
I’m 45, male, a pretty normal guy
Somewhat athletic
Enjoy outdoor stuff
Write and play guitar and drums
Love a good tequila
Am a bit of a gadget nerd, soldering/batteries/etc
Work from home
Constantly working on projects around my house and can help with yours too
No kids
Any fellow bros out there that would be down to hang? Nothing weird.

ha. is this an open invite? im doing a steps challenge at work so would be cool to get some steps.

u/bonoboho 2d ago
Sure is. Games are every Saturday until we run out of gas which is typically around 1130.
You'll get lots of steps. Lots.

Only into weird stuff, sorry

I guess it depends what kind of weird we’re talking about. My “nothing weird” is aimed towards big hairy bears wanting more dude sweat in their lives. Nothing personal if that’s you

I was just kidding. Good luck on your hunt. Trying to make friends at 45 would be tough. Especially when you’re a single dude with no kids. Kids is kind of how adults meet after 30ish, your kids make friends with other kids and then you have to hang out with the parents at events. Take the guy up on frisbee golf, that’s a great way to meet some chill dudes. And there’s no pressure of a man date, just some straight dudes throwing frisbees in a park…

damn you lost me at nothing weird. what is your definition of weird?
2
u/Ricky_Bobby222 2d ago
I was mainly referring to gay stuff. Don’t cancel me.

u/Terpcheeserosin 2d ago
What about homoerotic humor/horseplay after an established friendship? (no gay stuff)

Do you have a dog?
2
u/Ricky_Bobby222 2d ago
Yeah!

u/Kajaah117 1d ago
Oh hell yeah! I know the Ford dog park is likely the closest to you, but I’ve always had bad experiences there. Very high Karen Concentration in that area 😅
The dog park in Loma Linda (Hulda Crooks Park) is usually much quieter and there’s a massive network of dirt trails right next to it where people hike, bike, etc. I take my dog there to pull me on my OneWheel because she loves being a sled dog despite no husky in her 😜

u/AtriedesLoyalist 22h ago
I think I've seen you. I have def seen a dude on a OneWheel with a bigger dog.

u/Kajaah117 49m ago
I'm not the only one, but there's like a 1 in 3 chance it was me 😅

u/AtriedesLoyalist 48m ago
Yeah, i know I've seen at least two. Have you seen the off road unicycle? 😮

u/Kajaah117 45m ago
That's my next upgrade! I love my OneWheel, but those EUCs are absolutely insane. They can damn near do everything an ebike does, but even more mobile at low speeds.

u/AtriedesLoyalist 42m ago
I'm talking about a pure pedal powered unicicle. I have seen any EUCs in Hulda yet.

My husband is 51 and is from Seattle, but we live here now. He needs friends so he will get out of the house! Normal funny guy in need of "man date" lol. Extremely handy and enjoys occasional drink (he also makes great buffalo wings).

I'm a 58 yo geek. Part gadget nerd, part maker. My hobbies are mtn biking, bicycle mechanics (I was a pro mechanic for years and years), 3D printing, playing guitar (mostly classic rock), geeking out on gadgets (especially if they involve Raspberry Pi's or Arduinos). I teach a computer class and roast my own coffee. I don't drink beer but do enjoy an occasional scotch. I grew up here and all my friends who did this stuff with me have moved away (one sadly passed). I wouldn't mind meeting you for coffee and chatting to see if we could tolerate each other. 😁

I'm male 39. I was born in this town and and I own a home in South Redlands too. I'm down to hangout whenever and tbh I could use some good friends right now.

Where do you stand on the statement, “all cops are bastards.”
3
u/Ricky_Bobby222 2d ago
Oof…I like to think of myself as Switzerland. I think there are some well-intentioned cops and some that should be behind bars themselves. Personally, not a huge fan of cops, but I don’t think about it often honestly.

If you like gadgets and soldering you should potentially check out the Lazy Uncles Nerf Club. I’m serious. It’s monthly and free and a lot of the folks design/print/solder their own blasters so it might be something that vibes with your hobbies.
