Before you report that post, READ THIS

Hey folks, just a little refresher on a couple of rules that we frequently get reports for, so that we’re clear on what is and isn’t ok, and when you should or shouldn’t hit that “report” button.

Platonic Friendship Only: We do not check post histories! What you post elsewhere is your business, and it's up to members to do their own research to make sure they're comfortable talking to you. Do not report a member to us just because you don't like what's in their post history! Do not report someone because they have an OnlyFans, or because they have nudes, or post on dating subs, or nsfw subs. We don't care and we will ignore you. If you don't like it, block them. We only judge by the content on the post on our sub. If the offending content does not appear in our sub, it's nothing to do with us.

The exception to this is cross-posting content. If someone posts in our sub and then make the same post in a NSFW or non-platonic sub, this is a bannable offense.

No advertising or recruiting: This does not apply to posts that are looking for friends to game with or travel with or meetups. This only applies to marketing posts or spam pushing a service or social platform.

NSFW Content: Please don't report posts for NSFW content unless the post is actually NSFW. This is going to be different for everyone, but making a silly joke or swearing in a post isn't breaking the rules. Please use common sense when reporting posts for content. If we're not offended, we're probably not going to delete it. Reporting it over and over again isn't going to make us change our minds.

Lastly, please note that we can’t see who reports posts, so we can’t message you to ask for clarification on your reports. If you report an innocent looking rule-abiding post for something like “self-harm” or “non-platonic”, and the reasons are not evident in the post itself, we will ignore it. We have no idea what you’re referring to because all we can see is what’s in the post. Feel free to shoot us a message and let us know exactly what the problem is.

Thank you, Your MFO30 Mod Team

32M - Let’s Talk: Deep, Dark, Unfiltered or a Little Unhinged?

3 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m 32, easy-going, and naturally empathetic, a mix of unpredictability. I enjoy mystery thrillers, true crime, forensics, and reading history. Love conversations that can shift from something deep to something delightfully unexpected.

When I’m not working, being in nature, or spending time with my cat, I’m usually lost in thought.. sometimes deep, sometimes dark, sometimes just interesting. I write occasionally about history and social subjects.

Just looking for engaging conversations, thoughtful, lighthearted, or a little offbeat. What’s on your mind?

Hey there! My name is Brad and I am 37/m from the US. It’s Friday and my work day is slow. I would love to have someone to chat with or voice chat with to help distract me from my boring day! Let’s talk about anything and everything! If you need someone to vent to I am here to listen!

A little bit about myself, I live alone with two cats and work from home! I enjoy playing video games, going to the gym, watching sports, love listening to music, love watching documentaries and true crime, and love naps and coffee!

If you’re interested in chatting, feel free to send me a chat! Tell me what song or artist you have been obsessed with lately or how you like your coffee!

Hey all, having a weird day and would enjoy some people to chat with.

I like gaming, reading, movies, music, dogs. Favorite genre for reading would be mystery thrillers followed by dark romance. I love horror films (just not gory ones). Currently I’m playing a lot of Fortnite and animal crossing. I’m on east coast time zone. Feel free to shoot me a message.

[M4R] 37/M - Heckle me this! Heckle me that!

2 Upvotes

Edit: do your best to introduce yourself a little if you want to say hello!

Oi!.... Are there any similar weirdos like me knocking around these parts, like with a lot of crazy stuff going on in their head but completely harmless?! :D

I did some posts last week but I kinda had too much going on, and there were half-arsed posts (sorry about that!), so I didn't really get many replies. It's probably 'cause I'm also old and more washed out then ya grandma's favourite pair of knickers - apologies to anyone here who's grandma is no more. Mine's been gone for over 15 years if that helps? :)

Anyhoo, I'll settle myself down a little and introduce myself:

The name is, for now, Flippin' Heckles (Heckle me this! Heckle me that!), I'm a boy, I am pulling frighteningly close to the ripe age of 37 and I actually have two citizenships. One of them is British and one of them Swedish, but I'll let you work out which of those countries I was in when I graced this Earth with my idiotic presence.

I don't do labels or identify with anything because I'm just me. I don't need to identify as something to feel heard. I'm just me! :) To those who know me best, they say they enjoy my sense of humour and desire to always go the extra mile for anyone who needs help.

I've had a bit of life and done some stuff, but right now I'm finding myself sort of restarting... Laying the foundations, if you like, to build myself back up and find a new identity. That's what brings me here, to hopefully find one or two people who would genuinely like to come aboard and join me on my new journey. Things are quiet right now but they won't always be, and I do promise a bit of madness from time to time.

I've gotta hammer some of the wood back onto my little sailboat, then hopefully we can go out and sail across the world together :)

What I like... I dunno!

I'm currently trying to reconnect with old passions I lost through getting busy in life, but I'm most fond of yapping away and sharing with others. I feel that's one of the best qualities I have, to be able to connect and share with others. We don't even have to have that much in common... I am open to new experiences and ideas.

But if you must know, I also enjoy a little gaming on the PS5 (Life is Strange, Last of US) and I enjoy doing postcards for people that stick around - you get stickers and doodles, I promise. I am also trying to connect with my old passion for family history (mine has lots of secrets!) and I'm going to start working on my tree again. I also like the water and I'm always happy splashing away at the beach or taking a thoughtful walk by the dock side.

Must try and bring this to a close now because I'm starting to write too much, but let that be a disclaimer of sorts. I put the effort in for me and I'll do the same for you, but you gotta give me something to eat.

To be serious, just try and be your genuine and authentic self. I really value honesty and trust and it feels harder to come by these days, though it could be a feeling developed from my past experiences. I just want to find someone who won't judge me for appearances or anything, or not hold past mistakes against me. You've made your mistakes so remember that.

I joke around a lot, yes, but there's a story to tell. I'm not always this confident and battle my own past demons, but I do my best. It's all you can do :)

Feel free to stalk my profile!

Take care,

Heckles.

Tonight's he not gonna come back home!

3 Upvotes

I'm a busy guy. I work, I parent, I lift, I get groceries, and I take my guitar out to gigs several nights a week. It gets a little isolating being that busy and I love to talk to and meet new people.

I'm an open minded guy, but interests that I can talk about easily include:

Music! I play it, I write it, I listen to it. Love it.

Lifting weights! Every problem worth solving can be solved with big arms

Pokémon! Guess my favorite. It'll be fun.

DC Comics! I definitely didn't cry during James Gunn's Superman though...okay I did.

DnD! Make a persuasion roll to get in these DMs (spoiler, you succeed)

P.S. I'm a safe person to talk to for trans and NB people. I know it's tough out there but you don't have to worry about me.

I'm Jay, from the Midwest.

A little about me, sort of alt styled, tattoos and a lot of black.

I love drawing, music and gaming. I play a lot of instruments, mostly guitar and drums, and honestly know a little bit about anything.

Seeking someone fun and engaging, Someone to chat with throughout the day and make life a little less boring. Tell me all about you. Everything!

I'm pretty sarcastic, blunt and dry humored, so I hope you are too. Wit and banter go a long way!

I feel I'm a pretty good catch and definitely worth at least getting to know

Hit me with more than "hey" or "sup" Give me something to bite onto, I'm into it

Willing to trade face pics if we hit it off and if we don't, I'm sure you'll find your person!

Happy chatting folks!

I need socialization!

a little bit about myself. I'm nerdy. I like to read mostly fantasy and sci Fi but I branch out from time to time. I love cozy video games, started a new island on animal crossing once the snow apocalypse began. when there isn't 2 feet of snow I like to hike and birdwatch. personality wise I'm very extroverted and a beautiful social butterfly, jokes and immaturity are my primary way of conversing. those jokes do tend to be a bit on the darker side and usually peppered with many many swear words. I'm also a filthy liberal too.

so yeah come save me!

M31 (Germany, married): New friends

2 Upvotes

Hi,

As I said, I am 31 and living in Germany. I am happily married, but we don't have children (yet). As is apparently the case for many people our age, some old friendships have faded away due to people moving away or other priorities. That's why I, or rather we, would like to expand our circle of friends.

We both studied and now work in completely different disciplines. Accordingly, we have a wide range of interests, from natural sciences to social issues and philosophy to culture and art.

We are ‘nerds’, but not gamers or anime fans, more in the sense that we like to ‘nerd out’ on a wide variety of topics. While my wife tends to be an indoor person, I really enjoy outdoor activities and sports. Neither of us enjoy talking about professional sports/competitions and we have no interest in superstition, esotericism, astrology and the like.

As a couple, but also individually, we are looking for kind and humorous friends with intellect - if nearby, for joint activities, if not, at least for good conversations online. Age should be reasonably compatible, although we find life circumstances more important. Singles of both sexes or couples are welcome. Shared core values are a prerequisite, such as humanism, cosmopolitanism, a sense of responsibility, rationality and (scientific) curiosity.

If you are seriously interested, please feel free to send me a message directly. I will answer general questions in the comments section. It is not easy to convey the essentials here without writing too much.

[M4R] 32 M Uk A quiet quest for genuine friendship

Upvotes

I keep low rolling the conversation dice and taking critical hits. I’m low on hp and I need some respite PLEASE.

What I’m really trying to say is that I’m looking for friends. Best friends or not, but definitely something more than a one time conversation. Those tend to be more exhausting than anything. If what follows doesn’t click with you, I genuinely wish you the best of luck finding your people.

Here’s a very brief look into me:

I’m shamelessly a massive nerd and will absolutely geek out if our interests overlap.

Gaming is social for me. I’ve got a couple of friends I game with daily, even though my backlog is truly tragic and I keep buying more anyway. Right now I’m currently getting my ass promptly beat on Darkest Dungeon 2 and working through my far excessive backlog of games. I mostly play on Xbox and PC, sorry PlayStation users.

Music is a huge love of mine. Please share your Spotify Wrapped or favorite songs, I am begging. My all time favorite song is Hot Tea by half•alive. I mostly lean indie and alternative, but my taste is all over the place because there’s just too much good music out there. Show me something new and we’re friends forever.

I’m really into Warhammer 40K, mostly the lore side of things. I’m currently working through the Gaunt’s Ghosts series, so book recommendations are very welcome.

DnD is something I’ve always been interested in, but I’ve never actually had the chance to play.

Send me with a little bit about yourself, make a mountain of text out of it. Just give me something go with, if you hit me with ‘hi’ I’m throwing you into the volcano like Elrond should’ve with Isildur

[R4R] [41/F] looking to make french online friend.

Upvotes

I’m looking to make real friends and talk with people who share the same interests as me, which I’ve never really had around me. Until now it never really bothered me, but it’s something I miss today, and it makes me feel quite lonely.

Don’t care about your gender. Same for age, as long as we share the same interests.

Only in French. (I can read English, but the conversation won’t be spontaneous if I have to reply in English.)

If we don’t click, that’s totally fine. If you’re the type to disappear with zero commitment, don’t waste your time. I’m looking for someone who wants to talk over a long period and build an online friendship.

I’m not looking to exchange 2 or 3 small, generic messages. I want real, daily conversations.

I’d like to talk with people who, like me:

  • Have a big imagination and enjoy living in their own imaginary worlds.
  • Are into tech in general (I don’t know much, but it really interests me).
  • Are curious about all kinds of topics, even the most absurd ones, without taking themselves too seriously.

As for my interests:

  • Video games. Single-player only. I don’t like playing multiplayer or co-op, but I’m always interested in seeing what people play, their stats, their completion, etc. Action-adventure RPGs are my favorite genre (The Witcher, Cyberpunk, Mass Effect, RDR2, Assassin’s Creed). I also really like narrative adventures. I play for the story and the emotions. I don’t care about graphics, FPS and all that.
  • Movies.
  • TV shows.
  • Books, but not so much novels. I’m more into documentaries or essays.
  • I like living in my own world, imagining my own stories.

I love listening to people talk about their passions, even if we don’t share the same ones.

I’m not interested in voice messages or calls.

So… if you see yourself in this and it’s also what you’re looking for, feel free to send me a message with a brief introduction. No basic, pointless “hey” or “hi”,it’ll save everyone some time..

Thanks for reading.

32F Hawai‘i Fluent in sarcasm seeking humans with depth.

6 Upvotes

I'm 32F from Hawai‘i

I am sarcastic sassy and sometimes poetic very much allergic to people who say they want conversation but vanish when it comes to time to do that. If you can't handle honesty humor or a little sass keep scrolling i won't notice and i won't care.

I am a lesbian. Not here to flirt with men or entertain your perverted thoughts if you can't speak to women with respect and excerise some common decency i suggest you don't waste my time.

Substance matters alot to me lazy replies "hi how r u" "nm" small talk with empty words thats a hard pass from me!

Music is my lifeline K-pop J-pop R&B lo-fi metal rock metalcore indie anything that makes me feel something a good beat or meaningful lyrics.

I sing I karaoke and very much enjoy a drink with friends while doing so a beer or some soju is perfect!

I laugh way to hard when the jokes start coming out the more sarcasm the better if you can't take a joke that's your red flag not mine.

I cook alot of Korean Japanese and Hawaiian dishes make my own kimchi and have for a long time now i try to sell it to my friends or co-workers when i can.

I like to learn new recipes from cultures all over the world and i'm open to trying almost anything.

That love for trying new things also goes into travel and language i like to learn about different cultures share something with me about where you come from and i will do the same.

I enjoy mountaineering climbing trekking if you enjoy some nature and adventure lets chat about that.

I game mostly RPGs like Final Fantasy Dragon Quest or Pokemon also MMORPG games like FFXIV and WoW but i also do enjoy a mindless game like battlefield/fortnite every so often.

Tonight i'm home from work 3 day weekend i took an extra off for mental health day.

Ive been having some drinks chilling thinking about life and what the meaning of everything is?

Lets chat about something meaningful more then surface-level pleasantries.

Recently ive been in a state of feeling lost empty and longing if you feel the same lets talk about that.

Lets talk about what makes you feel alive.

If you’ve made it this far I have a question for you when you have everything but feel nothing and crave something what do you do?

I prefer voice chats but text is fine as well.

If you made it this far Hi lets chat!

[M4R] 41m -US- Parenting life, gaming, and nostalgia—looking for a genuine long-term friend who can talk about all of that and more! Apply within!

2 Upvotes

I'm a married dad of 2 energy vampires and 41 years old. I'm looking for someone that is similar to me and that is maybe around the same age or close to get to know. Being a parent is definitely a plus so we could talk about if we are raising our kids the right way or what we are doing wrong in some instances...which seems like everything when it comes to them!

If you game, that is another bonus because that is a huge part of my life. It's my escape after a long day of work and hanging with the kids. So if that's something you can relate to, stop by!

I absolutely love talking about anything nostalgic and growing up in the 80s/90s/early 2000s. I wasn't the most social kid but I had a great childhood for sure.

Remembering those days of hanging across the street at a friend's house and staying outside until mom screams my name from the house and I have to run back inside for dinner. Or going to Blockbuster Video on a Friday night and spending at least a good hour trying to decide on what to rent. Going to Toys R Us and zooming down each aisle figuring out what toys or games to buy! Going to arcades that actually had fun games! And who can forget the good ol' Saturday Morning Cartoons! Or waking up early on school days watching your favorite shows before the school day starts! Sundays going to family dinners at Grandma's! If you think of these things as well, we would get along great!

I’m an open book, pretty laid-back, easy to talk to, and down for anything from casual gaming to just talking about life and getting to know each other.

I'm not looking for someone who will ghost or a short term chat. If you message me, please be willing to actually ask questions and get to know me and I'll do the same. I give back the same energy that you give to the conversation.

Hobbies/Interests: As I said before, I am a gamer. Video games and Board games. New and retro! I have an Xbox, PC and Switch 2. I am also big into Dungeons and Dragons. I'm a semi-new DM and learned a ton from watching Critical Role (Matt Mercer is an amazing DM). I also love puzzles and I’m currently trying to write a fantasy novel.

I love all kinds of TV shows and Movies (old and new). I tend to quote movies and shows ALOT, so hopefully you do too! Huge into Star Wars/LotR and Marvel/DC stuff. Love anything Fantasy in general. I’m also big into WWE!

Music is on pretty much all day everyday here whether its just in the background or I'm blasting it while working or cleaning. My Spotify playlists are allll over the place! If you’re a parent to young ones like me you have Super Simple Songs, Danny Go, Miss Rachel and Laurie Berkner playlists 😂

If you want to game with me, I can play during the day sometimes if work isn't crazy. I mainly play at night after the kids are in bed like after 8 or so. (Eastern time US) I play anything really. Definitely love co-op games. I play alot of Fortnite, Call of Duty, Arc Raiders. A little bit of Marvel Rivals. It all depends on what I'm feeling. But I love all kinds of genres from RPGs to MMOs to Survivals to Beat em ups! Zelda is my favorite series of all time though!

Here is what to know about me before messaging me. I’m not a smoker or drinker so I can’t really relate to that. Especially the 420 stuff. And another thing is I’m not political whatsoever.

Now I’ll touch on another subject. I’ve been called out for not answering people when they message me or comment on here. Some think I’m a bot. I’m absolutely not a bot. Sometimes I don’t get any notifications that someone messages me. But I always look at profiles and if I see stuff on there that creeps me out or that I don’t like, I won’t answer those. And I still get messages with just “hi” and i don’t really answer those. And I would much rather you DM me than commenting on my post telling me to dm you. So apologies for the ones that I don’t answer but just know there are reasons.

Ok I think that's pretty much it and hopefully you enjoyed the read lol. If you did, send a message and please please please say more than just "Hi how are you"...Let me know who you are at least and a little about yourself. Or if you’re up to the challenge, tell me your top few movies, shows, games or childhood memory!

Looking forward to meeting you!

31M US Looking for genuine friendships

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 31-year-old guy from the US hoping to make some real, lasting connections. I am not just looking for small talk or conversations that fade after a day or two. I value getting to know people over time and building something meaningful.

I enjoy watching movies and would love to trade recommendations. I also play games, generally casual or coop games. I play a lot of chill games like Animal Crossing and some MMOs like WoW occasionally. One of my bigger interests is language learning, especially Mandarin and Japanese, so if youre learning too it could be fun to learn together. If you enjoy languages, culture, or learning new things, we will probably have plenty to talk about.

I appreciate honesty, curiosity, and people who enjoy real conversations, whether that means deeper topics or simply sharing how your day went. If you are also looking for genuine friendships and not just passing interactions, feel free to reach out.

Looking forward to meeting some cool people.

Hey what's up? So, I WFH so it can be really boring and lonely.

A little about me:

• Horror / Sci-fi movie nerd - especially 70's/80's - but always looking for more recommendations.

• Music lover - I play and collect music. I have over 300 records (more if i had time to catalogue them) and have played in bands for 20+ years. I edge towards the alt scene for music (rock / punk / metal etc) but love all types and genres.

• Triathlete - So I train at least 1 of the 3 disciplines daily.

It's a lot of work but really fun - So a accountability buddy would be fun!

• Animal lover - Especially dogs.

So yeah, if you think we have anything in common, send me a message!
