Just curious

Has anyone actually had any luck with finding at least one friend here? I personally don’t mind reaching out first because I know it’s not easy for everyone but some people are “interesting” to say the least. Don’t get me wrong no one is obligated to respond to me but I find it strange that people are here “looking for friends” but don’t actually respond.

Haven't made any friends on here at all. Everyone ghosts or only talks for a short while

I’ve found a couple so far so good and two moms groups I’m in on snap that are very consistent talking that I can add you in we talk about everything and anything it’s actually really nice :)

@Donna I would love that. I’ll pm you my snap

@Shaliysa agreed, I just find it very interesting. lol it’s so hard to make friends as an adult and especially as a woman

@destiny definitely I've talked to over close to 200+ women on here and nobody actually wants to be my friends and they live down the street or 20 minutes from me

@Shaliysa oh no I’m so sorry to hear that. No one deserves that. Pregnancy can be lonely at times so I can only imagine how motherhood could be. I’d definitely be your friend if you don’t mind the distance

@Shaliysa girl I’ll be your friend can also add you into the groups I have there friendly and inviting

I made 2 friends on here one in May of this year and the other one yesterday

@destiny it's okay I'm kinda giving up on ever finding my bestfriend my last one ghosted me right after my birthday in March. I'm always down for friends

I’ve had no luck yet which is strange that people will reach out then ghost you. I’ve had that happen to me

I’m still looking for my best friend

A lot of people who reached out to me either tried to push their weird views on me or convert me😂😂

@Bella lol

@Bella girl what did they try and convert you to?👀 In case I need to watch out😭

@destiny the mormon faith 😂💀 I had some weirdos message me

@Donna love this so much! My user is chellelynn.xo if anyone wants to add me!

@Michelle added you !!

I have made one and she’s great!! She’s been to my home with her family a few times and we speak on the phone everyday :)

I've made a great friend here yes. But ever since it's been harder to find more

I made a bestie here with my first! Was a proper peanut love story we joke about now! It’s a bit awkward at first when pregnant and the nerves etc of pregnancy meant pre our daughters we barely spoke just occasionally messaged here and there…. It all happened when we met up post partum, we talked a lot more and realised our daughters had the same name!!! I think around 6 weeks and we met in a restaurant and were chit chatting away like we’ve known each other for years!! There is hope guys just don’t put too much pressure on yourself in pregnancy as you get closer with people after the baby I think from my perspective 🫶🏿

Try not to see it as ghosting, like I say bits of broken messages in pregnancy as we navigate pregnancy, our lives, work, planning for baby etc. also can be daunting on both sides to start getting to know people when you are at your most vulnerable…. Keep the faith 💪🏿 and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I think the biggest thing is just being open and relaxed. I know for a fact me and my bestie would never have crossed paths or met IRL if we weren’t mums or on peanut to be honest as our lives are so different but now we are so connected, our SO are friends and our daughters (I hope) will be lifelong friends

Nope!

Yes, I found a friend here and we’re in touch and have also met physically a few times. The problem is we all want a new friend/s but we’re not ready to sacrifice our time and be realistic in our expectations. And when we’re ready to sacrifice our time we do to the wrong people who are just passing bye 🚴 What I meant by realistic expectations is that some of us do not realise that people have life outside of peanut so will not be on peanut every single second of the day. For example, I got chatting with a lady and she expected me to respond to her messages like a robot. On this occasion, she sent me a message which I responded a couple of hours later and she started swearing at me and cursing me. Even when I tried explaining to her she continued swearing & cursing. I advised her that she won’t find a real friend with this behaviour and I avoided her as I couldn’t deal with drama. The amazing thing was that she didn’t see anything wrong with her behaviour.

I’ve connected with a few local mama friends around the DC/Baltimore area. I don’t have expectations of having a “best friend” but more of a support group/sisterhood which has helped maintain valuable connections. We don’t have to talk every day/week, meet in person (FT works), and it doesn’t have to always be pregnancy/mommy talk either. The conversationalist part is a huge must though.

@destiny I wanna die. I hate everything about life since becoming a mother and it’s even worse than I thought because I hate myself for hating my life. Because I don’t hate my son. I love him so much but I hate that all I do is walk around with a baby and lay in bed with a baby and shower or bathe with a baby and cook with a baby. I got on here cause I hate my life and I’m looking for friends to help me change that. The 1 woman on here I had a real convo with ghosted me when I asked about meeting/ hanging out, I can get in some shady ass chat room an talk to strangers no offense but I’m looking for genuine close friends and I can’t seem to find that here. I really hope u all are having better luck! And near or far I’ll always be here for any one who needs a friend just hmu ❤️

I will say this, I have been on this app for a few weeks now since taking a media break. I have met a few mamas on here but the app isnt all that great. I dont always get notified of messages. If you have the free plan you cant see waves or boost your profile so posts kind of get lost. When it comes to making connections everyone is trying to break the ice but some days might be harder than others. Id say keep in mind we all have been isolated at some point so if its not a long convo after the first hey it could be the other person overthinking 🫣

No but it’s probably on me, I forget this app even exists as soon as someone talks to me. It’s very hard for me to open up.

I haven’t had any luck. I was in a few GC but it gets quiet after while or I get ignored lol it may just be me 🤷🏽‍♀️ I wish you all luck 🫶🏾

I’ve talked to some women on here but have never got together with anyone

I’ve made two friends in here( I don’t get to see in person ) I’ll be your friend!
