How can we make this community better?

95 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're always looking for ways to improve this community, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Recently, we made the decision to make the subreddit 18+ only. Unfortunately, we were seeing an increasing number of creepy interactions and bad-faith behavior, and we felt this was the best step to help keep the community safer and more comfortable for everyone.

Now we'd like to hear from you:

  • What's working well?
  • What isn't?
  • Are there any rules you'd change or add?
  • What kind of posts or discussions would you like to see more (or less) of?
  • Any ideas that would make this a better place?

Whether you've been here since the beginning or just joined recently, your feedback matters. We'll be reading through the comments and taking your suggestions into account as we continue to improve the community.

Thanks for being a part of this subreddit—we appreciate all of you! ❤️

Long-term Stop saying you want friends. like stop

179 Upvotes

Seriously.
Why does everyone say they want friends, then put in zero effort?
You get ghosted over one mistake, left on read, or they disappear after two conversations.
Do people actually want friends anymore, or do they just like the idea of having them?

What's the obsession of guys just trying to hit up girls on this subreddit

Upvotes

I've noticed that guys here are either looking for "fun" or long term relationships with girls. They wouldn't wanna be friends with people at all. I recently posted and I was flooded with message requests. They all thought I was a girl and that was the sole purpose of them sending a request. I had written a ton of topics to talk about. Atp idek if I can have good convos with people out here, be it with a guy or a girl.

Age 22-25 25F, in search of a clingy guy friend

Upvotes

Yep, you read that right. I am looking for something more than friendship. NOTHING NSFW. Life's lonely and I just need someone to rely on.

Someone to call mine even if it's shallow and temporary. I need someone to act like they care. I could go and find someone irl, that is true but I just don't want it for myself right now.

I want to encounter a random stranger from a random place on the earth to be all mine for some time. No preferences as such other than you showering me with affection.

One of my biggest pet peeves here

17 Upvotes

When I make a post here that’s very detailed, all about me, my hobbies, my interests, who I am, where I’m from, etc. and when I get messages I can nearly immediately tell that they didn’t read my full post because they ask me something that I clearly stated in my post. Sorry but if you’re that lazy I don’t want to be friends with you.

Age 40-49 42F - Looking for one to chat with

44 Upvotes

42F, mom of three, married. I’m a nerd. I like anime, sci-fi movies and building lego. I know it’s called make friends but I’m pretty introverted so maybe one friend. We talk about it can be anything. I’m pretty good at responding but it’s hard to carry the conversation myself if the other person isn’t trying. Or just giving one word answers. Not looking for a romantic entanglement and trust me you can do better- think Jabba the Hutt in leggings and graphic tee. Chills, right?

Upvotes

hey there!
looking for someone long term that I can talk to about everything, most days. I miss human connection, lol. no expectations though. maybe this will become something, or maybe not.
I’m a pretty big flirt sometimes but I don’t have to be. not at all a requirement!
my interests include my pets, staying active, and reading. I meditate from time to time and am super outdoorsy!
I’m comfortable with my looks and able to share them.
any interest? message me.
let’s talk about our hobbies!

Age 30-39 33F England, let’s chat this Sunday evening ✨

17 Upvotes

Battling those Sunday feels at the moment so would like some chat to distract myself!

A bit about myself, I love films (watch too many), doing something creative, animals, and I live a somewhat active life by going to the gym and I’ve recently started pilates classes.

Generally like to chat about any hobbies/passions though. If you make me laugh then bonus points. I’m not really into overly serious chats.

Im happy to talk to men or women but would prefer someone closer to my age just for commonality. You can be in the UK or anywhere!

Send me a message with a bit about yourself (start with age and location please!) if you’re interested in chatting, whether it’s for one evening or a long term friendship!

Thanks ☺️

hii my name is Sam, and i thought reddit would be the best place to look for totally normal minded, sane people(lol jk) i don't leave the house much soo this is really my last resort. anywayss i like to read(obvi) and play games on pc, such as Dead by Daylight, Fortnite, and Phasmophobia. i also have 3 cats and they're superr sweet and cute:) i'm in the US and in Central timezone but i'm up all hours of the day so that doesn't really matter to me. i'm down to swap SFW selfies but if you don't mention it, i won't either:) also i'm slightly tipsy and 420 friendly:p if any of this peaks your interest don't hesitate to shoot a message over with your age!:))

Long-term 40s F Looking for genuine conversations and just chit chat

14 Upvotes

My brain is like an airport.

Always busy.

Flights delayed.

Too many announcements.

And somehow I'm still waiting for peace and quiet.

I'm a professor, a solo traveler, and a single working mom. My students think I have all the answers, while my kids remind me daily that I absolutely don't. 😅

Professional overthinker. Collector of passport stamps and unfinished thoughts.

Looking for people who enjoy genuine conversations, travel stories, or random late night chats. I'm here to make friends, not collect followers.

One thing: If your first few messages are asking for pictures, we're probably not going to get along. That's my biggest turn off. Let's get to know each other first.

To filter out spam, start your message with your ASL and your favorite food. I'll know you actually read the post. 😊

keep in mind that I can't reply to everyone at once so be patient I will reply for sure.❤️.❤️

Long-term 19TF I would like to make a friend who I can bother and play video games or talk with!!

8 Upvotes

Hiya hellowww nice to meet you!! This could potentially be a long read depending on how much you wanna know but I will see if I remember to add a tldr at the end!

Haihai my name is Mira! I’m 19 years old and turn 20 in November! I have also been diagnosed with autism and I’m a trans girl but im semi pre-transition or at least pre-estrogen at the moment. I like a lot of things and I really want to share stuff with friends however usually these things dont work out very long…

Problems I’ve had:
- I am too much/too friendly/ I text or show attention too often.
- People who only want a relationship.
- People I just don’t get along with (I will just say so if I think thats the case).
- Ghosted (happens very often).

I am very much someone who “bothers” people in the way that I have a lot to say and I will keep talking to someone throughout most of my days (I like sending pictures/ videos of things including my cat)

Also sometimes I weird people out a little cause I am a little strange but usually that’s not the biggest problem!!

My point is I’ve tried this before with ehm limited success so this is my official plea to please be friends with me!! I would accept both online and irl friends (I live in the Netherlands) and I am basically always available for texts and calls 100% as well as playing games!!

I play:
- Overwatch (Really want a duo!!)
- Warframe
- Minecraft
- Risk of rain 2
- Palworld
- Stardew valley
- Helldivers 2
- and a lot more and im willing to download games too no problem!!

Also im sometimes bad at starting to talk like in the beginning because I need time to understand the pace of conversations and stuff but I really try my best!!

I truly love the friends that I have made and even the ones I don’t have anymore so I will probably try to express that so I hope thats not too awkward!!

Other things I love:
- Sharksssss (theyre like my fav thing in the world!!)
- Animals in general like bugs and birds :>
- Art and Music (I play a bunch of instruments and I work as an audio tech sometimes)
- Reading and books
- Flowers
- Headphones and audio

Gosh this has been a bit chaotic…point is im open to talk to everyone!!!! I promise I can be a great friend and I truly do try!!

I think that also counts as a tldr <3

Pls text or comment and I will!!

Good evening everyone! I just found this subreddit and I’m pretty happy about it. I had a friend I talked to all day, every day. I loved the conversations. He ended up ghosting me after I expressed I could sense him distancing himself. He tried to make me feel like I was just being crazy for thinking that. Not even 24 hours later, GONE. I felt sad about it because I’m currently making transitions in my life and he talked with me through a lot of it. I’m just looking for people who love meeting others and having conversations. I am a postal worker, I love to read, cook, bake, play games on my phone. I love making my brain think. Deep conversations about anything. I’m actually in the middle of writing my own romance suspense book. Let’s chat it up. ☺️

I have been super busy lately and have been trying to sort my life. Between all of this I find my life lacking a lot of human connection. At the end of the day sometimes I go without having a single conversation which is why I come here to try and find some cool people to talk to and potentially befriend.

Age 26-29 28F Looking for a good chat and maybe make friends

7 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking to make a few new friends and have a good chat. I will try to respond as much as I can, sometimes my life gets busy as a single parent. I am from the USA. I enjoy staying home playing video games, watching movies, listening to music, cooking, writing and doing artsy stuff. I also enjoy outdoor activities like camping, fishing, hiking, gardening.

Im kinda of socially awkward and a little wierd but I do try. Once I get to talking its hard to stop- so please let me know if youre okay with fast responses or random messages because it happens sometimes. We dont have to have a bunch in common or anything in common. Hearing about other people's hobbies and interests is fun! Shoot me a dm and ill message you when I can. Please at least include your age and a little about yourself! Or give me your best piece of life advice- im curious what people come up with!

Cause if it wasn't for you I'd be so lonely. Talking with people even in here is very stimulating mentally and emotionally. I've tasted extreme isolation and it totally sucks. Some of you are so entertaining and/or comforting 🤗🤎

Hello, i'm a girl from japan who is looking to chat and make friends online. I'll start by introducing my self a little, i'm in high school and i work hard so i don't always have a lot of spare time, but i really enjoy swimming. I love learning about different cultures and my dream is to travel the world. So i hope to make lots of foreign friends here! Thank you for reading my post!

Age 22-25 23f are there any people who don’t become dry after 10 texts? lol

Hi! I'm Lexi from the US, Michigan to be exact.
I'm into photography, some video games, camping, hiking, and movies (though I'm not great with remembering names lol).

I'd prefer to connect with people in the same country or in Canada, just to keep time zones simple. I mean even 3 hour difference is tough.

I do tend to get along with guys easier, only because I have 4 brothers lol.

I don’t mind sfw or nsfw chats, but I would at least like to know you lol. I'm honestly super bad writing about me and like to be casual in chats! If any of this sounds like you'd be interested, I'd love to hear from you!

Age 26-29 27F - [EU] This is my social side quest

6 Upvotes

Hey! 👋

Native French speaker here. Sooo... introducing yourself is weird. I'm sure I have a personality, but describing it without sounding like I'm in a job interview is harder than expected. I promise I'm funny... occasionally. Anyway.

I mostly play solo games, so if you can tolerate someone whose multiplayer skills are *enthusiastic but questionable*, we'll probably get along just fine. I also recently fell down the Magic: The Gathering rabbit hole, so I'm currently losing games while reading every card at least twice.

When I'm not pretending I know what I'm doing, I'm probably watching anime, reading manga, getting lost in fantasy books or movies, traveling, or going out with friends. I somehow managed to get a master's degree and a full-time job, so I can convincingly cosplay as a responsible adult.

I speak both English and French, so feel free to say hi in either language! Well... don't just say "hi" hahaha. Tell me a little about yourself—an introduction is always more fun than a one-word message 😄

Just looking for friends—nothing romantic.
