Where do YOU go to SWF up?

There seems to be quite a few ways to find people to SWF with, so I thought I'd ask for people's experiences. What worked and what didn't? What are some of the worse and best random SWFs you have been a part of and where did you come across them?

    I've only played with random people after I already played a game with them and they added me because of banter we had in the chat. I would never go out of my way to find random people to play with unless I happened to find them in a game.

    It's not even a joke. I've met more DBD players on there than I have hookups.

    Usually nobody they ask me because I'm so afraid of rejection to bother asking

    I have anxiety with online games. Too many years of joining voice chats only to hear the same washed up sexist stuff, or belittled cuz I didn't accept said sexist compliments. So when Dbd came out I was beyond excited. I tried to join LFGs where it was a woman host but abandoned that ship because there was always someone being toxic/tryhard (not always but too often than not)


    My swf group has been playing together for 5 years.

    A Brit I met while I lived overseas whom I invited because he was making me laugh during a trial.

    My bestie who I found on mixer streaming his first ever time playing dbd and offered help.

    And finally a mutual friend/random of the Brit that bonded with us.

    Not always a 4 stack but if one person is on there's probably a duo.

    All happy accidents ❤️

    If I were 13 again, I'd probably be using the xbox LFG feature since there's always people lookin to play, but...these days im not really comfortable joining up with randos. i kinda prefer playing by my lonesome. It's easier to make...objective decisions when you don't care about the personal well being of the other survivors 😅

    Everyone I've ever played with have either been friends or more rarely, friends of friends. So never really went anywhere for it.

    I usually just play with a single friend on discord. Now that i think about it, we really need a better chill game than this

    All the people I swf with are people whom I met playing with in solo queue believe it or not. When you find good team mates in solo its like finding gold.
