It's kind of concerning how many people (specifically men) are just hurting in loneliness. It doesn't have to and if it does you really should start looking for things to be passionate about.

Stop being fat. Stop being ugly. Stop being poor. Stop working so much.

Problem solved.
 
Literally just be outgoing. There are many other guys like you that want more friends. Show interest in a friendship, and if you’re not severely autistic + have somewhat of a decent personality, they will reciprocate.

"Most men live lives of quiet desperation. And they go to the grave with the song still in them."

Anyone who needs a friend, just hit me up. The best friend you'll ever have. Competitive rates.
 
Im older and dont see the need to make friends. The best part of no friends is you can go somewhere and leave on your own time. Its your life, your schedule, all yours all the time. I love it
 
As someone who has moved to multiple states/countries and had no problem making friends over the last ten years here is my expirence:

1) Work is your best bet for friends. Be nice and offer to take friends out to the bar. Almost 9/10 they will appreciate it and you are almost 100% guaranteed to make at least one friend this way.

2) Go to gyms or play a sport. It’s not high school anymore and no one will make fun of you if you can’t keep up (outside of competitive leagues). They will respect you for coming out— even if you’re fat. They aren’t called “beer leagues” for nothing.

3) Random hobby groups and churches are also alright for this, but I’d start with the first two in this list.

Oh, also just be nice and affable. If you’re someone that is hard to get along with you aren’t going to find friends in any of the above mentioned (or any) places.
 
You not only don't make friends as an adult, you lose the friends you had.

Friendship is for the young. As an adult, your mind should not be thinking of anything but working for megacorp and making megacorp richer.

It used to be that people married and had children, but that too has been jettisoned. Takes time and energy that would be better spent in Megacorp.

And when you retire, you can always opt in for government assisted suicide, since you're now an useless, broken husk of what was once a human being with no loved ones left alive.
 
Step 1.) Find interest or experience that you have in common like Prior Service.
Step 2.) Talk nicely, BS, Tell a Joke or Funny story.
Step 3.) Sprinkle in some Shit Talk like when you see your friend daintily pick up a large mouth bass and Drop it.
"That's cause your little princess fingers are too sensitive and kind to ram you Thumb down that bass's throat and grab it!"

Tip: Try not to become too good friends or everyone will refer to you as "butt-buddies" which is still cool, but getting closer to gay. Another Tip, don't befriend Faggots, I don't mean homosexuals, I mean little fairies that are offended easily and look like they probably couldn't take a punch. Another Tip, Tomboys, Fuck Yeah, if you can find them anymore :-(.

See look, you're already at Step 3. and in my Tip section you don't seem like a Faggot. Not to mention we have common interest in some of the same boards as Kiwis (Step 1), talking shit about cows(Step 2).

Already off to a Great start!

Shit, there was something I forgot to add. Making any friend takes time, shit doesn't happen over night.

Not always, I once worked with disabled people(all kinds) and it took 60 minutes for me to become the best friend of an autistic guy(according to him). All I did was beat him at his childhoods Mario Kart over and over again while talking about lord of the rings, perfect sperg material.

One tip when starting to know people is to invite them or to invite yourself(within obvious limits).
 
If you do some kind of activity that involves other people you will make friends, depending on how many new people you interact with.

It's not gay to have friends, but yeah it's pretty fucking gay to need male friends and want to make new male friends as a grown man. Spend time with your fucking kids or grandkids, or go make some if you don't have any.
 
I've allowed my existing friendships to kind of wither. But if I'm out and run into someone wearing a t-shirt from a cool cult film I dig or chat with someone at a concert I get kind of excited. Maybe too excited. Sometimes it feels like the dude will mention their wife or girlfriend in a forced way because they think I'm homo and want to sex them in the butt. But I don't, honest!

One of the two of the best friends I ever had have way more different interest than I did (I like computers and games, he liked cars and auto racing), but we bonded over drinking and sharing our interests with each other. I taught him how to build a rig and we played vidya, he showed me Top Gear UK and took me to Laguna Seca.
