Is this something that happens to people in their 40s? Y’all ever just get bummed out and can’t figure out why? I go to the gym 4 times a week even when I feel good for “therapy”. I have a decent job (stress free) and don’t really need anything so I don’t know what the deal is. An ok marriage with a wife that treats me better than I deserve. Is this what a midlife crisis is like?
I’m looking to connect with people who have a passion for deep, engaging conversations. As a conservative Christian, I have a genuine interest in exploring diverse perspectives and complex ideas. I enjoy diving into topics like politics, history, geography, and philosophy, and I believe that hearing different experiences and viewpoints can really broaden our understanding.
If you're someone who values going beyond surface-level chats—whether to challenge ideas, share your thoughts, or simply enjoy a meaningful exchange—I’d love to connect. Let’s start some great conversations!
I think I may have been overconfident in my carving skills. But wanted to try something creative this year. I think it came out pretty good.🤷♀️
Hi,hope everyone is good ,always looking to make new friends! 😊
Good weed in the new snow
Sun looks like fire on the water this morning as the lake freezes
Moved from NYC -> NJ, I don’t know how to go about starting over and making new friends
I had a gym, a run club, I had my network. Now I’ve got the gym in the garage, I’m running by myself, but everything is happening in isolation.
Winter is coming and I don’t want to be hung up in the house, I can go to bars, but I don’t drink, that makes people comfortable.
How do I go about making myself more accessible?
Good day everyone. I turned 40 at the beginning of the year and it feels so crazy to me. I’m definitely not able to process being 40. It’s hard to explain. Anyway, life has been one hell of a ride but I got divorced 4 years ago and now I’m a single mom with no friends and nobody to talk to. I have sleep issues so I tend to be up at crazy hours. I would love to meet people my age who share similar interests to just chat about movies/tv shows/books/music/whatever. I also like to chat about politics and religion. I’m a secular humanist and a socialist. I live in South Florida, a bit north of Miami. I’m a former heroin addict, four years sober as of August. I have mental health issues and I struggle even with medication but I promise not to trauma dump. If someone wants to talk about mental health stuff, I’m open to that too. I’m really open to anything. Whatever your interests are, lay them on me.
I’m excited to connect with others who have a love for thoughtful, challenging conversations. I'm a conservative Christian with a genuine passion for exploring big ideas and diverse viewpoints. I enjoy discussing a wide range of topics, like politics, history, geography, and philosophy, and I believe that learning from others’ experiences and perspectives enriches our understanding of the world.
If you're someone who appreciates digging a little deeper—whether it’s to challenge ideas, share your own, or just enjoy a meaningful chat—I’d love to connect. Let's dive into some great conversations together!
Anyone from North Carolina?
Good morning everyone. Hope everyone is doing ok today. Anyone want to chat with me? 40M from Texas I talk about anything. Thank you
I’m looking to meet new friends who enjoy thoughtful and challenging conversations. I’m a conservative Christian who loves to engage in open discussions, exploring different perspectives while sharing my own. Some of my favorite topics include politics, history, geography, and philosophy, and I'm genuinely curious about how people relate to each other regardless of differences. If you’re someone who appreciates deep conversations, whether to challenge ideas or simply chat, I’d be happy to connect. Let’s have some meaningful discussions!
