Introvert’s Guide to Building Real Adult Friendships in Cleveland

Building Real Adult Friendships

How Maoney Makes Building Adult Friendships Feel Effortless

Adult friendships aren’t built by accident. Between work, family commitments, and that cozy night-in you crave, carving out time to meet new people can feel impossible especially if you’re more of an introvert. 

If you're in Cleveland and struggling to form genuine adult friendships, Maoney is the hyperlocal social app built for people just like you introverts, creatives, lowkey hangout lovers, and anyone who’s over surface-level connections.

Why Are Adult Friendships So Tricky?

Making friends as an adult is a different game. People are busy, social circles are smaller, meetup culture can feel intimidating and you don’t want just any friend, you want the right kind of people. Add a dash of introversion to the mix, and suddenly the thought of walking into a room of strangers sounds…exhausting.

That’s why Maoney flips the script on making adult friendships. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room, you just have to be you.

Maoney: Adult Friendships, Made for Introverts

Maoney is a free app that helps people in Cleveland build adult friendships based on shared interests, not social performance.

Here’s how:

• You add your real interests (from normal to niche - we see you, crystal collectors and chess nerds)

• You get matched with people near you who love the same stuff

• You can join low-pressure local events or start your own

• You build friendships slowly, comfortably, authentically

Maoney gives you the tools to build the kinds of friendships that actually last.
