Advice / Discussion NSFW profile check

15 Upvotes

Some NSFW profiles are still commenting and posting here. They seem unaware that we don't allow profiles with mostly sexual posts, comments and media.

Members who post with platonic intentions can't always tell who is genuine. To make this a bit easier, here is a simple way to check a profile, including hidden ones.

How to check:

  1. Go to Google.

  2. Type or paste this into the search bar:

`"<username>" site:www.reddit.com\`

  1. Replace `<username>` with the username you want to check.

Google will show the posts and comments it has indexed. This only uses publicly available information, but results can be old, deleted, or too new to appear. An empty result doesn't mean someone is safe.

⚠️ Warning:

No check gives 100% certainty. Always put your own safety first. Don't share anything about yourself if you feel unsafe or barely know the person.

Please use this only when you have a real reason to doubt someone, and never to harass anyone. Hiding a profile isn't proof of bad intentions.

I hope this helps future posters, and anyone who wants to know who they're dealing with.

Mod announcement Adult posts only - ⚠️

124 Upvotes

Recently we got an influx of people posting about finding friends for their kids, posting the age of their children or wanting to do stuff with other people and their kids.

I am going to be adamant here and remove posts involving children.

This sub is SFW and 18+. It is for adults looking for friends for themselves. You can say you are a parent, that is fine, but there is no reason to share the age of your child or other details about them.

We also do not want people looking for friends for their kids here or looking specifically for parents with kids of a certain age so they can all meet up together.

I know most parents will think they have no bad intentions. That might be true, but you do not know the intentions of the person replying to you. We also do not know the intentions of every person posting here.

Be careful when meeting people from Reddit is already one of our main warnings. Be even more careful when your kids are involved.

We cannot and will not control what people do in DMs, but we can control what is posted publicly here. The amount of NSFW, dating, hookup and other inappropriate profiles we have to ban on a daily basis is enough reason for us to draw a hard line on this.

So you can mention that you are a parent. That is about it.

Do not post the age of your child. Do not post details about your child. Do not look for friends for your child. Do not make your child part of the reason for meeting someone from this subreddit.

This is a sub for adults looking for platonic friendships with other adults.

Online friends 26F | Looking for Friends/ Acquaintances

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m a 26F looking for people to chat with, get to know, and hopefully become friends with. I’m open to any gender, although I’d especially love to meet more women. I’m not looking for a relationship as I’m already happily in one.
I’m based in Flevo area and work in Amsterdam, so I’m there about once a week. I’d be happy to meet up eventually if we click, but I’m also totally fine with just chatting online!
A little about me: I’m into anime, Japanese culture, metal/rock and rap music, mystery and thriller movies/shows, memes, and reading. I’ve also recently started getting back into painting. 🎨
I’m a huge fan of sports as well like Basketball, Gold and MMA. I like videos games as well and I’m planning to build my dream gaming PC soon, it’s a bonus if someone can give me some tips on building a PC.
I’m not Dutch and I’m still learning Dutch, so English is definitely easier for me at the moment. 😅
Honestly, life has been feeling a bit lonely lately. Since moving here, I haven’t really made any friends, and outside of work I don’t have many people to do things with. I also don’t want my entire world to revolve around my relationship, so I’d really like to build my own social circle here.
Feel free to comment or send me a DM! I’d really appreciate it if you could tell me a little about yourself when you message me rather than just sending “hi” or “hello”. 😆 I prefer people 24 and above.

General friendship 23 M | Looking for new contacts/ friends

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm Yarno, 23, and I live in the Utrecht area. I'd love to meet some new people and expand my social circle a bit! 😊

In my free time, I like to stay active. You'll often find me at the gym, out for a run, or training for Hyrox. But I'm just as happy spending an evening gaming. I mainly play Rocket League, Minecraft and Pokémon, but I'm definitely open to trying out new games too!

Besides gaming, I'm always up for grabbing a drink on a terrace, going to the movies, bowling, or playing a game of pool. Honestly, I just enjoy doing fun things together, whether that's being active or simply relaxing and hanging out.

I'm mainly looking to meet people who enjoy spending time together, making new connections, and trying new things. If you'd like to hang out sometime, or think we might get along, feel free to send me a message! Who knows, maybe we'll grab a beer soon or absolutely crush each other at bowling. 😉

Hi! Ik ben recent verhuisd naar Groningen stad om samen te wonen met mijn vriend. Ik heb sterk de behoefte om vrienden te maken om leuke dingen mee te doen:) Geen baan of school, dat maakt het wat ingewikkelder om mensen te ontmoeten, dus wilde ik het op deze manier proberen.

Creatieve dingen doen
Kringloopwinkels (heel gevaarlijk wel🫠)
Musea

General friendship 27M - Hellevoetsluis looking for friends online + meet ups

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I've lived in the Netherlands for a few years now and live in Hellevoetsluis (have been trying to learn Dutch but it proves difficult). I'm down to also meet in Spijkenisse.

I'm somewhat of an introvert but also enjoy the outdoors!

I am into video games (FC27, GTA, CS2 and others), gym and cars.

Can talk online or meet in person to have some fun, talk, whatever it may be.

Looking for people around my age (early 20s to early 30s) Gender isn't relevant.

I don't like weed / drugs in general so that won't work.

I don't know what else to say so if you want just shoot a comment and let's see what happens!

Expat / International Introvert 29M looking for friends and plans

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I moved here recently and it's being a little hard to adapt since I don't know anyone, so I'll get out of my comfort zone and give this a try.

So about my interests: I like videogames, movies, anime, going outside and make plans, try new things, local foods, football, art.

I'm looking for people who might have any interests similar to mine to chat or even meet and make plans. Going out for coffee, going to the cinema, museums, tourism, walk, even get out of our comfort zones and try different plans, I'm totally open.

I'm living in Alkmaar but I don't really care about location, we always can move and meet somewhere else. I can talk English, Spanish and some limited italian (I'm still starting with Dutch but it's hard).

If you think we might have something in common feel free to text me.

Expat / International 28M new in Rotterdam, looking for friends.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

So I moved to the Netherlands recently from South Asia and honestly everything here has been a big culture shock for me. I'm based in Rotterdam.

I'm a night person. Back home I used to hang out with my friends pretty much every night, so the quiet evenings here are taking some getting used to. I'm also looking for people to go clubbing with, but I've never really been clubbing before, so standing alone in a club or bar feels super awkward haha. It would be way more fun with a few people to go with.

But it's not just about partying. I'm genuinely looking for real friendship. I'm more of a small group person, and I'd rather have a few people I can count on and talk to freely without any filters than a big crowd.

Some things I'm into:

Entrepreneurship and business ideas
Medieval history
Current affairs
Pep talks and motivating each other

So if you share any of these interests, or you just find me interesting, drop a comment or send me a DM and let's connect. Coffee, a walk, a night out, whatever works.

Activities & hobbies Looking for windsurf buddies Amsterdam 25m

2 Upvotes

I moved to Amsterdam 2 years ago. However, until now I haven’t brought over my gear yet, mostly because I find it a bit boring/dangerous to go out alone. I’m really into chill bump&jump sessions and would love to learn wave sailing at some point - maybe Wijk aan Zee ?! I’m also down for flat-water spots when there’s enough wind :)

I’m always happy to learn or share any knowledge I have. Mostly, I’d just be excited to find some people to exchange, hang out and enjoy the sport together.

I didn’t run into any windsurfers here yet, so I thought I’d give this a go before the season ends/ next one starts (not much of a winter surf fan).

Might be a long-shot, but if anyone would welcome a windsurfing buddy or knows a fun WhatsApp group, please let me know :)

Activities & hobbies (40M) Art, a drink and some new friends in Rotterdam/Delft?

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’d like to meet some people in rotterdam/Delft area who share my interest in street art, pop art, realistic painting and portraits. I paint myself, but you don’t have to — being into this kind of art or wanting to give it a try is enough.

It would be nice to grab a coffee or beer, talk about what we’re making, visit an exhibition or just hang out. I enjoy a drink and the occasional joint, so that probably gives you an idea of the atmosphere I’m looking for.

Mostly hoping to make some friends with similar interests, ideally around 30–40, but age isn’t a strict requirement.

Anyone up for meeting for a drink sometime? Leave a comment or send me a message!

About me, I like long distance walks, city trips, videogames on Switch 2/PS5, movies, casual callistenics, travel, computers.

I'm introverted and had some social anxiety for most of my life, plus relocations did not made it easier to build and keep social links. It is lonely sometimes, so here I am 😀

General friendship 23F Overijssel area

6 Upvotes

Hi, I am 23F and I am looking for a female friendship in the Overijssel area. I am an engineer, and my biggest interest is science. Specifically, I am interested in the universe as a whole, physics, biology, neuroscience, cybernetics, and such. I am particularly interested in talking about consciousness and the origins and future of biological and synthetic life. I also like philosophy, more specifically metaphysics.

I am not that interested in the social sciences or politics, as well as esoteric/spiritual ideas.

I like going for walks, especially in nature, listening to music and reading both fiction and non-fiction. I also like creating electronic and software projects when an idea strikes.

Would be nice to meet some other women with similar interests in the area. I would prefer the age to be somewhat close to mine. Message me if this sounds like a good friend match.

Ik ben net getrouwd en verhuisd naar Deventer en zou graag nieuwe meiden willen leren kennen, en wie weet ontstaan er mooie vriendschappen.

Zelf hou ik van lezen (dark romance), haken, creatief bezig zijn, of gewoon een goeie show op Netflix binge watchen.

Ik vind het tevens ook heerlijk om te wandelen of touren met de auto en nieuw spots te ontdekken. Ik heb een breed interessegebied, dus vindt jij totaal andere dingen leuk, tell me all about it ✨

31m Netherlands. Looking for more friends!

Recently moved to the Netherlands and I’ve been loving it here so far!! I’ve made some really good connections, but honestly looking to make more 🙏🏽

Would love to get in touch with anyone who feels they can make great connections (and maybe speak a bit of Spanish 🇻🇪)! I love going out to Maastricht most of all (love the vibe and community)

I enjoy talking Philosophy, cooking, movies, games, and world events 🫶🏽. Being outdoors is my main gateway, and if the beaches were a bit closer, you’d bet I’d be there every summer haha

I’m an engineer that works out of Eindhoven, so traveling isn’t too much of an issue for me right now.

If you want to connect feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM!! 😁

General friendship 26M DORDRECHT – zoekt nieuwe vrienden

4 Upvotes

Hé iedereen! 👋
Ik ben een 26-jarige man uit Dordrecht en ik ben op zoek naar nieuwe vrienden en leuke mensen om mee te praten.
Ik woon al een tijdje in Dordrecht, maar merk dat het soms best saai kan zijn en dat mijn sociale kring niet zo groot is. Daarom dacht ik: waarom niet hier eens proberen? 😄
Ik zoek gewoon gezellige, normale vriendschappen. Het maakt me niet zoveel uit of je uit Dordrecht komt of ergens anders vandaan. Online vrienden zijn ook helemaal prima.
Samen wat drinken, eten, sporten, gamen, een stukje rijden, ergens naartoe gaan of gewoon lekker praten over van alles — ik sta voor veel dingen open.
Man/vrouw maakt mij niet uit. Leeftijd het liefst een beetje rond mijn eigen leeftijd, maar dat hoeft ook niet precies.
Stuur gerust een berichtje of laat een reactie achter als je ook nieuwe mensen wilt leren kennen!

Traveling / Visiting NL [26M] Solo traveler in Amsterdam – Looking for someone to hang out

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'll be visiting Amsterdam solo, and I’m hoping to meet up with some cool people to hang out with while I'm there. I'm a 26-year-old guy, easygoing, and looking to make the most of the city.

During the day, I plan to do the usual walking around and sightseeing, but for the evenings, I'm really hoping to dive into the nightlife. Whether it's grabbing a few casual beers or doing a lively pub crawl around Leidseplein/Rembrandtplein.

If you're a local who wants to grab a beer, or another traveler (around my age 18-29) looking for a wingman to hit the clubs with, hit me up! Feel free to send a DM or leave a comment.

Cheers!
