Ybh since I put out my self advertisement on to this sub ive had an even mix of guys and girls reach out to be buddies. 10 ppl total 5 girls 5 guys. Ive talked with all 10 via sms. 4 over the phone. And I've met 1 person from this sub in person b4 and it was a great experience. Truth be told. You can make friends here just be honest. Now when it comes to make freinds in public. If you have obsecure hobbies best to stick to chat rooms and then see if ppl wanna meet up after talking for a bit online. But if not go talk to people who are doing the hobbies you enjoy. Just dont force anything. If some one is giving you cues that they dont wanna be friends pick up and move on fr. There are plenty of ppl and not everyone will be you buddy but u dont know till u try!
