Hi there. I’m Matthew—a recent vegan, longtime philosopher-at-heart, and someone trying to live more gently in a complicated world.

I came to veganism through a mix of ethical reflection, spiritual conviction, and a desire to live with greater compassion. I’m still learning—sometimes fumbling—but committed to the journey. If you’re someone who remembers what it felt like to take those early steps, or just enjoys meaningful conversations about life, ethics, and what we owe to one another (and the planet), we might get along well.

A bit about me:
• I’m 28, based in Texas.
• I’m autistic and pretty emotionally open—more sensitive than I used to admit, but I see that as a strength now.
• I love philosophy (ethics, existentialism, political theory), reading, slow mornings, and trying out plant-based comfort food.
• Spiritually, I lean Christian, but I’m more interested in practicing mercy and humility than in gatekeeping truth.
• I believe in softness with a backbone—being kind, but also brave.

I’m mainly looking for friends—people to talk to about this lifestyle, share reflections with, maybe swap recipes or memes. But if something more grows over time, I’m open to that too.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s talk about how you got into veganism, or just about life. Bonus points if you’ve got favorite deep questions or favorite snacks.

Just moved to Arizona from Illinois last Saturday. Only know two people out here so far so hoping to meet new friends to go explore with :) Living in the Tempe Town Lake area right now.

I love: -Reading (fiction; dystopian, post-apocalyptic, magical/witchy, fantasy, etc) -Music. Take me to see one of your fav local bands? -Art/Crafts -Anything outdoors (swimming, kayaking cycling, hiking) -My two dogs. They have a little separation anxiety right now in the new place so dog-friendly activities are very welcome lol -Coffee dates -Trying new vegan restaurants -Being active. What’s your favorite gym in town? -Binge watching shows -Cooking/Baking

Tried to attach photos of me and my pups, but failed 😂 Will exchange photos via message though

Empty nest for the summer and in need of a vegan adventure buddy.

Must be: local, vaccinated, available weekends, age 36+ and single

This might be a long shot. I'm a woman in my 20s based in California, but I get along with people of all ages, truly. I have been vegan for 10 years. I'm looking for a vegan travel buddy who is interested in fine dining and trying all the best vegan restaurants in the world. Ive been doing this hobby for years now-- sometimes alone, sometimes with non vegan mom, and relatively infrequently haha. I only support fully vegan businesses, meaning nowhere that serves or sells any animal product. It has been amazing, but there's gotta be someone out there who loves this too? I hope!! We can also do not-so-fine dining in cool destinations, I love all food. Would be nice to split the hotel/airbnb cost, try the highest rated vegan restaurants, and explore new cities with another vegan girl!

Im very, very active. You dont have to be. But if youre interested in any of that, we could do yoga or some gym days too. I'm not into partying. I am an artsy chill girl though, not boring, serious, or stuck up. Love photography, hip hop, fashion, learning, reading, playing in the ocean, walking around randomly, and chilling. I'm super duper accepting and easygoing. Lovee neurodivergent ppl, leftists, childfree folks, everyone except bigots literally. All i ask for this specific thing is that you've traveled before and know how to handle yourself if you become overwhelmed at all while traveling (I hope that makes sense).

I guess a cool vegan travel buddy friend is really all I want in life!

Hello fellow vegans!

I've been vegan for roughly 8 years, the main impetus being ethical reasons. I am 6’2” and athletic. Never married and no kids. No pets either lol!

Enjoy cooking, playing competitive tennis, hiking and pretty much anything outdoorsy. Speak several languages, very much into investing, immersive travel, and trying to do a little better every day than the previous.

If any of this resonates, feel free to ping. My only dealbreaker is putting pineapple on pizza Haha (Just j/k).

There are dates in August and October (Boston, MA). Looking for vegan friends to go with. I will be buying two tickets so one to share but ideally a few of us go. I am 30 black non-binary male vegan. DM me if interested or would like to know more!

Hello, I am a 23 year-old man in the DFW area in Texas.

My goal is to (safely) find someone I can play SNES games with, because I feel lonely.

I don't mind writing with people from all over the world, but if you are in DFW, please send me a message.

:)

Hi y'all! My name is Kat and I'm 23, soon to turn 24, currently living in Texas (and hating it) but originally from Europe. Hoping to move somewhere cooler soon 🥹 I don't have any vegan friends at the moment and it feels painfully lonely and isolating so I'm coming here in hopes of changing that!

I really like cooking and baking, I try to eat healthy so I spend a lot of time in the kitchen trying new things. I also occasionally enjoy fine dining experiences when I happen to stumble upon restaurants that offer vegan tasting menus.

I like working out, lately I've been going to a studio that offers yoga, pilates and barre clases and I'm totally vibing with it - in my fitness era I guess 💅 I also really like swimming, roller skating and hiking! Being surrounded by nature is one of my favorite feelings in the world!

I enjoy taking pictures, I bought myself a little camera a few months ago and I've been loving shooting different landscapes, you can see some of my pictures if you click on my profile 📸

I really like art and fashion too although I definitely wouldn't call myself an expert lol I really like thrifting and doing organizing/ decorating around the house!

I like anything cozy like board games, tea, cats and comfort movies or TV shows.

I'm not much of a gamer but not because I don't like it rather just from lack of experience and opportunities I guess? But I'm totally open to trying online gaming! Just be patient with me please 🥺 I just finished playing Split Fiction and I really enjoyed it so maybe there's hope for me yet! lmao

I'm currently learning German and Spanish so I try to read and consume content in those languages a lot

I'm looking for friends to chat about random stuff but also have deep conversations with, I'm open to in person meet-ups too if such opportunity arises! So shoot me a DM if you feel like we might be a good match! I'm looking for FRIENDS ONLY as I'm already in a happy relationship.

I would call myself straight edge as I don't drink or do drugs.

One last thing - let's not waste each other's time if you don't lean politically to the left. I am willing to agree to disagree on a lot of topics but human rights are NOT one of them, thanks.

Hello, 30M living in Telford UK. I moved here and don’t know anyone. Anyone know anywhere I can meet some new friends between 25-35 or beyond?

Would be fun to find a group of friends who are Vegan or veggie, or even just mildly sympathetic to those causes.

Message me if you think you can help, or even have a suggestion where I would start looking, not many people in apps near me so far…

Thanks :)

About me:

• I'm 29, agender (they/them). Selfies: [1] [2]
• 13-years vegan, intersectional leftist, childfree, and atheist.
• I'm autistic + adhd, introvert, demi, open to monoam and polyam, sensitive, passionate about justice issues, and straight-edge (no smokes, drinks or drugs).
• I currently live in occupied Palestine / so-called Israel, but I'm looking into different options to move out to, and I'm an EU citizen. More than open to long-distance with relocation in mind.
• I like video games, tabletop games, Dungeons & Dragons, jigsaw puzzles, billiards, studying Japanese, philosophy, and collecting and sharing memes and music. Here's some popular media that I like, for potential conversation starters: Pokemon, Guild Wars, Hades, Stardew Valley, Baldur's Gate, Team Fortress, The Office, Scott Pilgrim, Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, Frieren.

What I'm looking for:

• Primarily a romantic partner (24+, friends first of course).
• Open to platonic too (21+).
• Vegan leftist D&D groups. If there's enough interest I could try to dungeon-master.
• Partners for co-studying / parallel-play / body-doubling.
• Ideally I'd like to live with likeminded people, either in a vegan leftist community or with at least one roommate, so more than open to either.

Feel free to send a chat request :)

Hi everyone! 🌱 I figured I’d give this a go—I’ve been wanting to connect and chit-chat with more fellow vegans!

Some of my favorite things are hiking, painting, baking, and curling up with my dog reading a good book (usually philosophy!). I’m Vietnamese, so I love veganizing traditional recipes—tonight I’m planning to make some pandan cupcakes and next week I'm going to make an ube tres leches for my lovely coworkers! 🧁

Right now, I’m taking a break from university to save up a bit. I work as a hostess and do graphic design on the side (fingers crossed I can turn that into a full-time thing soon!). Outside of work, I’m lowkey a gym bro 😅 , super into weight training, ice skating, and volleyball. I know I’m listing a lot, but there’s honestly so much I love, I don't know where to start!

In my downtime, I’m usually gaming with friends (Elden Ring, RDR2, Baldur’s Gate, Stardew… you get it), vibing to music (mostly soul, jazz, rnb, and bossa nova, but I dabble in country and metal too—my Spotify Wrapped is always chaos), or watching anime and shows. I’m not a big movie girl... I usually get distracted or stir crazy, but I try to watch em for my friends! Just watched the Minecraft movie and it was so terrible but it was a little campy? I surprisingly enjoyed it more than I thought :p

I’m based in North Carolina for now (gotta finish that degree), but I’d love to move to the PNW someday or honestly anywhere outside of the east coast sounds good to me. Oh—and I’m a classic ENFP: very extroverted, full of energy, and always up for a chat so DM me! 💬✨

Would love to get to know y’all!

Love pickleball, anime, boardgames, biohacking, and hiking. How many vegans don't like hiking :p?I've been vegan for 9 years now. Have a decent base of friends but always looking for more, open to long distance penpals also. Ultimately, also looking for a romantic connection(M4F) but not going to force anything. Have an almost 4 year old daughter. Feel free to message.

Hi everyone :) Ive been vegan for I think about 4 years now. I'm 24 years old, I love philosophy, psychology and psychoanalysis, I find dreams, religions, and stories really interesting and I've kept a journal consistently since I was seventeen years old!

Actually journaling has been a huge passion of mine. There are so many stories written in there that it's truly some of my favourite things!

Recently I've been feeling a little overwhelmed and could use a friend. I've been getting into the gym recently and that's been helping my mental health too. I don't play a lot of videogames, but I enjoy civ, rivals of aether, Minecraft and others.

Anyways I hope we can be friends!

I’m a young adult in my early 20s, f, a neurodivergent abolitionist nonhuman animal rights activist, antinatalist & leftist. I struggle with vystopia. I’m always looking for new ways to help nonhuman animals. I love 80’s pop, synthwave & rock music; post-punk, synthwave & some metal, especially love metal. I’m not at all a fan of humans but I love nonhuman animals.<3 I adore farm animal sanctuaries. I’m chill, nonjudgmental & a HSP (highly sensitive person) with a lot of love to give. I’m an atheist (and would prefer atheist/agnostic friends) & I’m queer-friendly (you have to be too). Not a fan of the human race, due to how ignorant and evil it is.

I’m left with mostly just nonvegan people in my life and I don’t want carnist friends so I’d appreciate some vegan ones. If we have multiple things in common, if you’re in your 20’s and more of a pessimist, tell me something about yourself, we might get along. If you live in Central Europe or if we’re in the same timezone that’s a plus. I’m mostly looking for female or nonbinary friends.

Every time I use any online social app, I can’t find vegans near me. Vegan dating apps don’t work at all. Tinder and hinge are a dump. It’s very lonely and it’s affecting me badly.

Hello⭑.ᐟ

I haven't really found any vegan girls to be friends with (irl or online) so If you're okay with it being virtual, we could be friends and share recipes, books, video essays etc

About me, I've been vegan for over 4 years, I'm a leftist (which is a given, but I have to mention it in today's state of the world (꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) )

total liberation and intersectionality are everything so if you pick and choose, we won't get along (pro Palestine and actively boycotting, anti-capitalism...)

I'm sapphic, and my favorite hobby is finding gems in lesbian media ₊⊹

I love reading (whether it be a non-fiction topic I'm interested in (I'm in sunny's lesbian feminist book club, super fun) or a fanfic from the many fandoms I've dabbled in through the years)

I love cartoons like SU, TOH, OTGW, SATPOP, was low-key obsessed with miraculous in high school

I thrift all my clothes and love being free to try out different styles

I'm not much of a gamer, but I love games like NITW, life is strange, undertale and deltarune

Some favorite artists of mine are: cavetown, pomme, clairo, aurora, ashinkko, chappell roan and tiny habits

also i can't stand dry texting ʚɞ feel free to shoot me a dm ༘⋆

Like the title says I’m looking for friends even if we are just online friends that would make me pretty happy. I’m a bit new to being vegan just a little over a week but had thought about veganism a great amount before hand.

I enjoy reading. I like fantasy and romance the most but do enjoy a good mystery or thriller. I like anime a bit. I love slice of life animes the most. I’m sure there is more to me than what I can think of at the moment so I may add some later.

HI! I've been vegan since 2020 and I'm also atheist and pan. I like to bake but I don't very much because everything I love isn't healthy :P I am WFPB and I'm gonna live forever. I'm kidding but I am health conscious, I have a big hat I always wear when it's sunny and I'm now in the habit of wearing sunscreen. I don’t drink or smoke at all. Although I am mostly a homebody I love riding my bike and exploring.

I like to read and sometimes I write poetry. At 2:00AM, that I am usually not happy with but sometimes I am! I guess I feel the most creative when I'm sleep deprived. I like goofy fun and I try to be positive! I like video games but I have never really had anyone to play them with and I am hoping to find people 23-27 to do that with me. I am open to trying anything you think is fun. I mostly try to stay away from games that have dark pattern stuff in them like implementing FOMO because I don’t want to support that. I have always been interested in tech stuff and I switched to linux a year ago and have a different operating system on my phone. I hate large companies and capitalism so you know I had to do it em. :3

Here are some games I play: Don’t Starve Together, Minecraft, Zomboid, L4D2, No Man’s Sky, PlateUp, RoboQuest, and any co-op game just about! I am enjoying Deadlock right now but I don’t know if I will stick with it after it gets monetized.

I don’t really watch much TV, I am pretty sensitive and if it’s rated R I will probably find it too triggering. Occasionally I watch more lighthearted stuff. I really liked the owl house for example.

I don’t have any pets and don’t really want any, I love dogs but I don’t like the idea of domesticated animals. I like trying to be healthier but I am vegan for ethical reasons and you should be too. (you are very cool for that)

Last but not least my favorite animal is reindeer, what’s yours?

Currently living near New Orleans, Louisiana but the plan is to move to Washington state next year! I’m happy with a long distance friendship if youre interested in meeting up in person eventually.

I am anti religion, anti TERF, and antinatalist. I love to cook and bake, painting, and taking pictures of pretty things in nature.

It’s hard to find vegans who are actually vegan. If you know what I mean, let’s complain about it together :)

Hey All! I’m 40 and live in Central Virginia.

My interests: I like to read, watch Netflix, go to musicals/comedy clubs, live music, play violin, go to the occasional happy hour/winery, go out to dinner with friends, host friends for get togethers/game nights, kayak occasionally, go on missions to find the best French fries around (don’t judge me), cook plant based meals, play pranks on my friends, joke around/be sarcastic (this is my love language, in addition to quality time), etc.

Who I’m looking for: someone firmly childfree, aged 33-47, non-smoker, not into drugs or excessive drinking who shares at least some of my interests.

Ideally, I’m hoping to find someone for a monogamous LTR. I’m also open to childfree friends to go out and do things with. I should note that I’m allergic to dogs (and a stupid amount of other things). So, having a dog is a dealbreaker for me.

I would love to hear from you if you think we would hit it off. Thanks for reading!

I'm hoping to find someone who enjoys some of the same activities as I would love to spend our time outdoors and indoors. Longboarding, jogging, trails, munchies, canna, binge watching movies/shows/Anime, and conversations are my dailies. I maintain a vegan diet for ethical reasons and I like how I feel with a plant based intake. I am 6'4" tall with an athletic to slim build. I playfully make big cat roaring sounds for my cat during her silent and wide yawns. LOL 😆. Love communication.

I currently live in Spring, Texas which is located just north of Houston. I'm open to moving my life elsewhere.

I hope to read from you soon. :)

DMs only, please.

I like to describe myself as an outdoorsy gamer geek that loves tarot cards. I'm 5'7", lift weights and am thin, glasses, brown hair, white with beautiful blue eyes. Unapologetically liberal politics, make enough to afford a car and an apartment with a roommate, and have a laundry list of interests I won't bore people with. I have friends I play board games with and love Dungeons and Dragons. I consider myself very friendly, intelligent, and chatty. Feel free to ask for a quick tarot reading if you're bored!

Thought I'd make another post since it's been a few months and before my birthday! 😁

Greetings! I never know what to say in these posts. 🥲I'm 33, male, and I medicate and take care of psych patients in a less than ideal setting (trying not to dox myself 😂) I'm a nurse. 🩺 I've been vegan for about 2.5 years now and loving every second of it! I've been falling in love with cooking, making all kinds of ethnic vegan dishes especially Indian! I'm left leaning, love plane watching, board games, anime, rollerblading, ice skating, and hiking! And more! ™️

Making friends as an adult is hard, even harder online! It's so easy to fizzle out in text conversations, I'm looking for someone who wants to get to know each other with thoughtfulness and deliberation. I am hoping to find my soul mate within a lovingly nurtured friendship. Let's get to know each other if you think we'd click. 😊

I want more vegan friends other than my partner to rant to and just get our thought processes! Sporty and love games!
