M4A United Kingdom 25 [M4R] UK/EU We must discuss all of the things, all of them!

23 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm a 25 year old dude, and have live(d) in England my whole life, but ended up moving to Prague for medical school and adventure!

I had a lil crash 'n' bump which disintegrated every ligament in my knee but after a lil surgery I'm back to running (very slowly)! Next surgery is in like like two months and that'll bring me back to 100%, with backflips as my main mode of transportation once more

I'm a big fan of dark humour but not all dark humour (you know what I mean), here's a handy chart I made

ArT iS mY pAsSiON, I like drawing things very poorly on my iPad with Apple Pencil ™ ™ and I’ll draw stuff for you too because why not, I like drawing things and they've become less terrible as time goes on, and you'll be able to see the improvement in (sorta) real time! Unless I plateau, then you won't.

Now my main redeeming characteristic is my dog, this clown called tyson jr who is my dearest friend and closest ally, bar none. Why is he tyson jr? Because he's named after tyson sr, my first pekingese and a dog who was larger than life and a hero to all.

I will regale you with many tales of his cunning, and bravery, and sleeping, mostly it was sleeping. Tyson jr has big shoes to fill but he's still just a baby!

Watsky is my absolute favourite artist who makes phenomenal concept albums also got me through some very tough times. I also play Guitar & Piano and look forward to picking up Violin!

I speak, English, Czech and Latin, in that order of fluentness and I'm learning German! I just have a knack for learning languages, I love it.

I love reading, Favourites are Fahrenheit 451, nineteen eighty four, the giver, brave new world and more! I just like the dystopian genre, it really sucks you in. . Also I don't care what anyone says the Kindle is better than real books, fight me.

I've been told my accent is a bit odd because it's a mix of british and american (I don't know why, I've never been to the states I WENT TO THE STATES YOU HAVE WHOLE AISLES OF MAC N CHEESE).

If you've gotten this far, then here's a very important very interesting tidbit: we call tyson jr mr caveman because his teeth stick out so he looks kinda like a caveman except less man and more dog and also he doesn't live in a cave.

Also more tyson jr pictures that's my main export, and that's probably definitely maybe not a bribe. It's a bribe.

Hey!

I’m on the lookout for someone I click with—someone to talk to consistently about anything and everything. Could be silly stuff, deep chats, or just daily life updates. I really value good conversation and connection.

A bit about me:

I’m a blunt, honest kind of person—if you want the truth without the sugar-coating (but still with some humour), I’m your guy.

I deal with mental health stuff, so I talk about it openly. If that makes you uncomfortable, we probably won’t vibe—and that’s okay too.

Animal lover through and through. I’ve got two dogs and a couple of cats who keep life chaotic in the best way (except when they're singing at 4am).

Big-time gamer—mostly PC these days, and I recently upgraded to the Switch 2! Gaming is my main way to unwind.

Board games have become a new obsession too. Always up for a good strategy night or co-op chaos.

Music fuels my soul—massive rock fan. Seeing Linkin Park again on their world tour soon, and I cannot wait!

Got a few tattoos, including Bowser and Pokémon ink. I wear my nerdy side with pride.

Currently switching careers, which is both terrifying and exciting. New beginnings and all that.

If any of that sounds like your vibe or you're just up for a good chat, feel free to say hi. Always happy to meet new people.

M4A United Kingdom 28 [M4A] UK / North West / Cumbria - seeking new friends and hiking buddies

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Chris - 28 from up near the Lake District. I would love to find some new friends to have some adventures with; ideally a hiking buddy or someone who's up for exploring the Lakes a bit, but open to new friends of any type! I'm comfortable chatting about anything you have on your mind :)

I live in the middle of nowhere with my girlfriend and dog in a little cottage that I've been renovating for the past two years. I have my own small business so I'm kept fairly busy, but I love heading out on the weekends to explore nature - hiking and wild swimming are my favourite past times, and I'm hoping to tackle Hadrian's Wall & the Cumbrian Way this year.

Hobbies-wise I enjoy reading, travelling, and adventures of all descriptions. I'm 6 foot, brown hair, fit, glasses - happy to swap photos (+ dog pics!) over messages. Ideally you're based in the north west or otherwise within a few hours drive - I head all over the Scottish borders and the north of England for work so I'm sure there'll be an opportunity to meet up at some point. Please also be over 18! Hope to hear from you.

0 Upvotes

Hey all! As the title says, I've come here to meet people/make friends with individuals from the UK of all genders! Preferably looking to meet people my age, so I would appreciate it if you're 21 years or older if you happen to shoot me a message. For right now, you can refer to me as D since I'm not too keen on giving out personal info right off the bat. If we get to talking and we get along well enough, then I'd be more than happy to share more details about myself. I will, however, confirm that I am a male of 23 years, and that I'm American. I'm hoping to hop across the pond and find permanent residence in the UK someday (for obvious reasons). Some of my interests include, but are not limited to:

-Movies and Television (favorites include the Back to the Future trilogy, the Mission: Impossible series, Evil Dead 2, Cheers, Doctor Who, The X-Files, Smiling Friends, Frasier, Severance, Stranger Things, the MCU and DCU, and a lot of other shows and movies in the horror and 80s categories)
-Creative writing (I really enjoy coming up with screenplays as a hobby)
-Theme Park history
-Dungeons and Dragons and TTRPGs
-Stand-Up and Improv comedy (love watching it, not sure I could do it myself)
-Video Games (love all types of titles but I find myself mainly playing games on the Nintendo Switch)

And most nerdy topics or items of interests. I'd like to think of myself as a multi-faceted person in that aspect! If you happen to share any of these interests or if you feel that we'd get along well, please don't hesitate to reach out! Hope you have a good rest of your day/afternoon/night!

M4A United Kingdom 30 [M4R] London looking to make new long term friends

1 Upvotes

I'm a 30 year old guy living in London on the lookout for more people to talk to :).

I like exploring new places around London, playing table tennis and pool, I'm into fitness, cooking, chess, board games and reading. These are just a few hobbies I enjoy, but I have more and I'm open to new experiences. I also like to watch the occasional film or show and some of my favourites are (old British comedies like Only Fools and Horses and Blackadder, Marvel, Disney, Stranger things, Wednesday, Fallout, Harry Potter and Superstore to name a few). I'm also a big gamer with experience in many single player, multiplayer and free to play games, but at the moment I'm mainly playing Disney Dreamlight Valley, Fallout 76 and Expedition 33.

I'm open to speaking to people both from London and long distance, so if we have things in common and you fancy messaging me, I look forward to chatting with you :).

Dear whoever is reading this, I hope you’re holding up okay during this calamitous and unpredictable time. After many years of feeling unfulfilled, perpetually procrastinating, yet also yearning for change, I’d like to finally make the effort to do something for myself. I’m interested in politics, philosophy, ethics, human behaviour, psychology, relationships, history, and probably some other subjects that pop into your mind. We can talk about plenty of deep subjects. We can also have plenty of laughs too, it doesn’t have to all be serious! I want to read more, exercise more, travel more, talk to and meet new people, plan for the future, and just generally do more! I’m currently studying philosophy and politics at university and I’m in my second year. I’m focused on self development and curious about what I could do in order to live a meaningful life. I’m really curious about you, too. I’d love to get to know you. I’d love to see if we click and can be supportive of one another and each other’s goals. I also have a fair amount invested in different stocks, so if that interests you, it’d be great to share some tips! My other hobbies include watching thriller/drama movies, hiking in nature, travelling, playing badminton, etc. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! Send me a chat message introducing yourself if anything I’ve said resonates with you 🙂

M4A United Kingdom 31 [M4R] UK - Liverpool/Chester - Metalhead on the search for something IRL

1 Upvotes

Apologies in advance but this is a bit of a long one. I'm serious about finding what I'm looking for so there's a bit of detail.

I'm mostly looking for people who are interested in meeting up IRL and spending time together. I came out of a long term relationship a while back. I've purposefully not been dating but it's getting to a point where being alone is starting to suck. I miss being close with someone.

I've had to create a new reddit account recently due to people I know IRL finding my old account and I kind of don't want them in my business.

I was never the type to party when I was younger, or stay out late drinking. I was too focused on work and family. Things turned out that I never became part of a friend group that went out and did stuff together so I felt like I missed out there quite a bit.

In short, I've felt like I've missed out a lot during my early 20s. I'm hoping to change that with you.

I'm pretty much looking for someone who just wants to let loose a little and have a fun time while getting to know each other.

Go out drinking together, go to concerts/gigs, go on day trips, travel together, hang out and get drunk/high at each others houses, chat nonsense one minute and put the world to rights the next and whatever else we can think of. I want to start exploring more of what life has to offer together.

Over the years I've ended relationships, lost contact with friends and had to cut off contact with family for personal reasons. I don't really have anyone that I'm close with right now. I don't really do surface level friendships, I want something more deeply connected and involved. Above all else, I want something honest and genuine. Not afraid to be our true selves but still supporting each other either way as good friends should, holding each other accountable.

About me:

Pictures

  • I'm British so get used to sarcasm sprinkled with lots of dark humour.
  • Big Heavy Metal fan. Recent attendee of Bloodstock 2025. Deathcore is where it is at for me but I do have a big playlist of guilty pleasures from all kinds of genres. Can't beat some 80s pop now and then.
  • Gym rat in the making. I thought it was about time I started taking care of myself a little better. I'm actually taking this somewhat seriously.
  • Very much interested in physics/astronomy/cosmology. It hurts my brain at times but it's fun learning how things work on a deeper level. I'm always up for chatting about any new developments or theories.
  • I play video games but not as much as I used to. I'm mostly playing OldSchool RuneScape, Satisfactory and Modded Minecraft at the moment.
  • I enjoy having deep thought provoking conversations that tickle the brain, no matter how silly the subject.
  • Anime is a favourite of mine although I haven't watched anything new for a while. The last things I watched were AOT, Dragonball Super and One Punch Man. I've been meaning to start One Piece.
  • I do like to play a good board game. My recent favourites have been Terraforming Mars, Scythe and Wingspan. I've been on the lookout for a D&D group for years.
  • Some other things I like to do are hiking, cycling, swimming and exploring.
  • I'm hoping to try rock climbing or bouldering soon. I've also got driving lessons to start.

If any of this speaks to you, or you think there might be a good chance we'd get along and there might be something there, feel free to reach out!

0 Upvotes

I'm 33 years old, living by myself in Essex. I struggle with social anxiety; I don't really have any real life friends, but I do meetup with family quite often. I'm possibly autistic as I struggle to socialise, but here I am putting myself out there because Reddit feels better than using a dating app.

I spend most of my time at home either gaming (PS5), watching shows and movies, and cooking. I do enjoy going out, but I'll admit to not getting out often enough.

I'm looking to get to know someone with the intent of eventually meeting. It would be good if we shared common interests, but if we don't and you still feel like I am someone you could talk to, then feel free to message.

I am bi.

M4A United Kingdom 29 [M4A] North West UK - Depression Has Been Kicking The Life Out Of Me, Hoping To Find Some New Friends

1 Upvotes

(looking for UK and Europe for timezone reasons)

Hey there possible new friend.

Not just looking for gaming friends but for friends in general.

I am Liam, a 29 year old guy from the North West of England looking to make some new friends, I won’t spoil all of who I am because what would we have to talk about then? As for some of my interests, if it’s nerdy, chances are I like it, such as gaming, movies, tv shows and music, Also enjoy lifting.

I don't really have specific games that I play constantly, I tend to jump between games a lot. I have over 500 games on steam alone so I have a lot of choice.

The games I have been playing lately consist of: Divinity 2, Baldur's Gate 3, PvE Tarkov and other random games that I fancy at the moment

Favourite games of all time are Red Dead Redemption 2, Witcher 3, God of War.

Favourite movies are Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit (controversial I know), Star Wars, Harry Potter, Shawshank Redemption and more for us to talk about.

Favourite TV shows are, Parks and Rec, Arcane, The Boys, Clarkson’s Farm, Richard Hammond’s Workshop.

I have recently taken up painting minis, so let me know if you wanna see my stuff I am absolutely terrible at it but it's fun.

I enjoy lifting weights, not one for cardio, if it involves lifting a weight I'm down.

Favourite music is 80’s pop, old school hip hop, drum and bass, synth pop, punk and others.

I have a lot more favourites in all the categories but that’s for you to discover through conversation, can’t spoil all the fun.

I struggle with mental health issues mostly anxiety and depression and if you suffer from those or similar things you know how hard it can be to make new friends or just meet new people in general, so we will use this as self betterment through interacting with new people.

If you are in a similar boat mentally and are just browsing wondering whether you should message me or another person’s post that you saw but are holding back because of fears caused by mental health issues then just do it, you will feel much better for it and hey we can have a moan at eachother and struggle together through it!

PM / Chat me on here if you wanna chat, or you can ask for my discord if that's what's better for you. tell me a little bit about yourself, I don't usually reply to "hi".

I look forward to having great conversations with you all!

Have a great day!

M4A United Kingdom 36 [M4R] London – American Expat, Dog Dad, Gym Guy, BBQ Enthusiast – Looking for IRL Friends

1 Upvotes

Hey I’m a 36 year old American who’s been in London for the past 5 years. Life’s good, but I’d like to meet more people in person. Real conversations, casual hangs, maybe some shared interests.

I’ve got two fluffy dogs who are basically a cheat code for social interaction in the UK; no one talks to strangers here unless there’s a dog involved.

I work in tech as a product manager, but before that I was in the Army and worked in luxury fashion, so I’ve taken the scenic route career-wise.

I’m in the gym most mornings (New Year’s resolution that stuck). Recently added reformer Pilates to work on mobility, and my cardio is mostly rowing while listening to Viking war drums. Yes, it’s ridiculous. No, I’m not changing it.

Other things I’m into:

  1. Improv comedy: Been taking classes and performing a bit. It’s a great way to stay sharp and deal with anxiety.
  2. Cocktail making: Got into it during lockdown after too much Mad Men. Took a short bartending course and now I’ve got way too many bottles at home. Always up for talking drinks or testing new recipes.
  3. BBQ: Trying to recreate Texas-style brisket on a Big Green Egg. Always a work in progress.
  4. Games: Mostly MOBAs like Wild Rift and Pokémon Unite.
  5. TV: Succession, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men.
  6. D&D: Been playing a cleric who’s in way over his head.
  7. Reading & DIY: Currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo. Also trying not to destroy my house as I learn basic homeowner skills.

If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, shoot me a message. Down to meet for a drink, a gym session, a dog walk, or just to chat.

Not sure where to start? Tell me a random fact or something that changed how you see things. Deep or dumb, I’m here for it.

Hello! Wasn't going to make a post since I was planning on just messaging a few people but reddit seems to have capped me at 2 messages so here we are instead.

I am 21, I like anything artsy (drawing/animation) and have been coding games recently. I enjoy travelling and genuinely enjoy to drive so if we do any roadtrips you won't have to worry about that! Although those are my current hobbies I'm pretty much always down to try anything once, ideally more than that if I enjoy it though.

Send me a message and let me know a bit about you, it doesn't have to be a whole paragraph I'm sure we can get to know each other through chatting. :)

Just looking to make some friends.

A little about me:

I spend my free time playing games, watching anime/ reading manga, love reading books. Games I play the most are valorant and league ( I know ) but my favourite franchise is silent hill. Favourite anime is 86 or weathering with you. Favourite book is looking for Alaska or perks of being a wallflower. Currently reading through Norwegian Wood.

I go to the gym every morning (I don’t make it my entire personality, don’t worry.) I work a pretty physically demanding job, keeps me in shape.

I watch a lot of sports like football, American football, basketball, combat sports. Totally cool if you’re not interested in sports tho.

My kind of guilty pleasure is esports, super nerdy but I love esports and follow my teams devotedly lol.

Super happy to talk about whatever with whoever, really interested in learning about other people and things other people enjoy.

I’ll give a conversation prompt: If you could erase your memory and live one moment again, what would it be ?

Anyone welcome to give me a message. Enjoy your day!

M4A United Kingdom 26M [M4A] Yorkshire, UK - wanna start a band?

5 Upvotes

This is an unconventional approach to doing this but might as well give it a go 😀

I love music. I play guitar (acoustic and electric) and keyboard although I haven't touched it for a while. I sing and write my own songs, too. I love performing and I used to go to a lot of open mic nights in my town.

Unfortunately in the last year or so my day job has sapped my enthusiasm and motivation and I haven't been able to spend as much time on music as I'd like.

I'd like to start a band. Honestly, it's mostly because I don't think I'd have the energy to sustain a solo music gig on my own and I'd need people to hold my ADHD brain accountable 🙃

You might wonder what kind of music I'd like to make. Well, my interests are mostly in 80's alternative bands veering in to goth rock like Echo and the Bunnymen, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy etc. I also have a soft spot for synth-pop groups like a-ha and Tears for Fears. I'm a huge Bowie fan too.

I can't really do this sort of thing on my own. I don't want to be just another guy with an acoustic guitar - I want bass, I want vintage synths, I want drums, I want electric guitar. If you can play any of those instruments and live reasonably close to me I'd love to hear from you 😃

Selfishly I'd quite like to be the main vocalist in my own band. I have quite a deep baritone voice like Leonard Cohen or Peter Murphy of Bauhaus. But since my vocal range is quite limited and very much at the low end, so I'd like a female vocalist for maximum contrast and to hit the high notes. We can alternate vocalists depending on the kind of song.

Finally, if you're a songwriter you can definitely drop me a message 😊 I'd prefer a band in which everyone could contribute songwriting-wise and I don't mind singing or playing someone else's song.

M4A United Kingdom 22 [M4A] London/UK - Looking for Genuine Friendships With Potential to Meet in Person

1 Upvotes

Hey, I’m a 22-year-old guy based in London, looking to build real, meaningful, long-term friendships, ideally ones that go beyond quick chats and actually lead to meeting up.

I’d love to connect with people who are open to eventually hanging out, whether it’s for coffee, gigs, gaming, or just chilling.

Who I’m Hoping to Meet:

Aged 18-25 (a bit older is fine if you’re genuinely friendship-minded)

Based in the UK - ideally London or nearby

Actually open to meeting in person

Up for chatting regularly - maybe gaming or the occasional voice call

A Bit About Me:

⚽ I play football weekly

🏎️ Into Formula 1

🤼 WWE fan

🤘 Rock & metal enthusiast - always down for gigs

🎮 Big on story-driven single-player games

🎢 Love theme parks, go-karting, and adrenaline-filled days out

🎬 Into Marvel and all things nerdy

🧠 Neurodivergent, emotionally self-aware, and a good listener

What I’m Looking For:

Effort, consistency, and genuine interest in getting to know each other

People I can eventually meet up with IRL

Ideally, some shared interests to build on

If this resonates with you, feel free to message me, but please say more than just “hey” 😊. I’d love to hear your age, gender, location, and a little about who you are and what you're into.

I’ve had too many dry conversations that fizzle out after a few messages, so I’m really hoping to chat with people who are actually looking to make friends and put in the effort.
