I just recently turned 23, I started to feel hopeless about life while simultaneously trying to not lose hope. I think it’s one of those times where you need to believe in yourself but it’s hard. I’m not asking for someone to miraculously come and “fix” my problems, I also don’t want to dwell on it too much but I’d love for a kind and patient soul to be by my side as I slowly start to trust and believe in myself again. I don’t want or need you to be my therapist, I don’t think that’s sustainable or healthy longterm but I’d love to have a witness to my journey of self love and acceptance, I’d also love to be your witness :)

Perhaps this was a little too “self help” book coded but I swear I can also be very bubbly and not so sad, it has just been a few rough days (or months) I love Pink and squirrels! I also love frosting way too much and would die for a good strawberry shortcake

Disclaimer: I would really love to dind someone local to Washington kind of in the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett/Lynwood locations!

I am a curvy INFJ lady on a pilgrimage to finding a new relationship! I figured I'd give it a shot here.

A little bit about me:

I recently moved from San Diego and am now a resident enrichment coordinator/manager at a memory care community where I am working to better the lives of people who will never truly remember me! It's all fine an dandy, we have a great time regardless. In my free time, mostly Fridays and Saturdays, I'd love to find someone to game, voice, and commit shenanigans in the city with. I have two degrees in Psychology and Communication, and am debt-free, moisturized, and in my lane, existing! I own a senior cat and he continues to defy death at the ripe age of eighteen. I do not drink, smoke, do drugs or party much! I am like a little decrepit old hag trapped in the body of a young woman, slaving over a hot stove (cast iron only.) I am on the expensive zepbound, so I can't snack as much as I'd love to! D:

Values:

Kindness, stability, structure, mindfulness, empathy, ambition, communication and of course, humor~

What I am looking for:

I'm hoping to meet someone who loves to talk as much as they enjoy sitting in silence doing their own thing, sharing each other's company when we're just flat out exhausted. Ideally, we can game, go out on the town, and maybe do a little bit of world building/writing, time permitted! I am a very social creature who loves a lot of time spent with my partner and his friend group! I love to watch period dramas, animes, horror movies and comedies alike. I'm not necessarily looking to rush into anything, as I'd rather meet someone and see where things lead. My ideal life is living right outside my small town in the woodlands, in a two bed two bath house with wifi and enough ice water / freeze dried mangoes to satiate me. Boring is sometimes good in the realm of predictability and structure.

Age wise, someone between the ages of 28-38 is ideal, past their college years, and looking to build a life of comedically predictable bliss!

Superficially, I'm really into inconveniently larger people, like very tall tall people who would lovingly eat my cooking (I cook good foods!). Not for the usual reasons of masculinity, but I just like someone to compliment my heavier set self and fit into my taller family :D. Maybe we could get you some custom plate armor! You'd be uncomfortable pretzeling into a sedan (don't worry, I own a 23 Buick.) I also love a good sultry voice that makes my brain bluescreen and forget how to function. I have a huge weakness for a good sense of business functional fashion!

Deal Breakers:

Anger issues/yelling of any sort, not investing time, smoking, drinking, drugs, lack of communication, financial irresponsibility, polygamy (non-monogamy), dishonesty, racism, overly religious, I do not wish to have children (but may adopt depend on finances.)

Games:

Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Second Life, Stardew Valley, Witcher 3, Guild Wars 2, Warframe, Assassin's Creed, Peak, Divinity OS2, Baldur's Gate, Valheim, and much more!

Hobbies:

Sailing, going out to arcades, going to carnivals, rock hounding, (I want to hike but don't yet.), roleplaying (I don't do much of this but love the idea), tons of games, writing my own lore/world, exploration, travel (if I can afford it), design, cooking (lots of different cultures!), volunteering, creating a cozy existence, and more to uncover!

My face for fun! https://imgur.com/a/yz9vlYZ

hey you.

sitting here with a computer screen throwing off some cold zombie-like light on your face.

sitting and pretending that your thoughts belong to you and you only, scrolling indifferently and staying infinitely positive that things of real interest aren't easy to stumble upon in this hellhole named internet; therefore, don't deserve being looked for.

sometimes i do feel the same. walking on the same routes, seeing the same dead pigeons and living cats every day, being just this far from naming every single one of them. people are, by no means, the same and yet simply are not captivating enough to be remembered. it doesn't really seem upsetting to me, the fact that those passersby probably feel the same about me.

even though i do sometimes wish that a man would look into my eyes as directly as if he knew me to the core of my soul, to the unswept corners of my mind and embraced the depth of my slow sticky gloom as if it was his own.

in case you bear resemblance to that faceless man who constantly visits my dreams. what i ache for is someone who shares my love of old music and unawkward voice calls.

Hey, I’m a 26 year old guy from Southern England. I’m a bit of a Fox Mulder, a lanky misfit going through life without anyone too close, and I’m looking for my Scully. Someone nice to get to know and go on some adventures with.

A little bit about me:

Personality: I’m sensitive, stubborn, empathetic, a bit clumsy. I can be a bit reserved or awkward at first, but I open up quickly. I’m very loyal and care deeply about those important to me.

Hobbies: I spend a lot of time in nature; hiking, climbing, camping, and just exploring in general. I enjoy reading (Mostly classics or non-fiction), swimming, cooking, watching TV (drama, sitcoms, etc) and occasionally writing.

I don’t really game, but we can always find something co-op to play.

Looks: I’ve got brown hair, blue eyes, I’m pale, tall and slim. I’m happy to exchange pictures so you can put a face to my profile.

What I’m looking for:

I’m looking for love/a relationship, something long term. I’d like to meet up eventually, but we’re unlikely to be close enough that it happens anytime soon; otherwise I do like voice calls or video calls if we’re both comfortable. I’m not interested in exchanging nudes or stuff like that.

I would like someone loyal, caring, empathetic, respectful, and someone playful/with a good sense of humor. I don’t have any racial or physical preferences. If we get along, and I like you, I’m going to think you’re hot. I would also like someone who will call me out if I’m wrong or being an idiot lol.

If we get along I am very romantic, and would like a partner who is the same.

I’d like a relationship where we both make time for each other, we’re comfortable telling each other anything and where we feel safe with each other.

If you think we might be a good match, feel free to send me a message with a little bit about yourself. Hope to hear from you.

22M4F #USA #Mexico #online Searching for a long-term better half

I'll be the Garu to your Pucca.

(Props if you know ball.)

Hello! How's your day been? Hopefully you're doing okay. If you've stumbled on this post, you're in luck!

My friends would describe me as a loyal, caring, honest, and a respectful trustworthy guy. I also do speak Spanish along with understanding Portuguese, Italian and Latin. I'm a Latino (Mexican) male, around 5'7 or 170 cm tall, and I can play 5 instruments. I can cook, clean, and I'm financially stable.

I am also in the military as my job. Controversial as I know many might not be into that but rather point it out now than later.

I'm looking for a special person that is also wanting something long term as well that leads to something special. Someone who is sweet, caring, loyal, a bit clingy, respectful, and honest. I'll be your safe space if you need to talk and I'll listen and suggest ideas and comfort if you need it. Someone who also wants to be a mom and have kids too. I don't mind anyone older or younger but age range close to 20-32 years old.

Looking for someone who's catholic/christian. Race or ethnicity doesn't matter cause I'll love you for yourself and all of what makes you special and unique.

Searching for someone within the US or Mexico. If something blossoms somewhere else I'm not opposed to try to make it work but would want to close the distance.

Send an intro message about yourself if this post catches your attention. It doesn't have to be too complicated just enough to not be shallow one word responses like "hey", "hi", etc. I don't mind sharing a picture of myself in DMs as long as you can provide a photo as well. Of course if you're comfortable.

Here's some icebreaker questions:

What's your favorite dish to make?

What's your favorite artist or group?

What type of music genre do you prefer?

I like to explore the world and its pleasures in all its beauty. Doing this with a kindred spirit one connects on every level, enriches one's existence even more.

Which is why I am posting this here, to meet a lovely, open-minded, chatty special someone with passion for life and the desire to explore the beauty of the world.

I wish to understand your thoughts, your feelings, where you come from, what your dreams and desires are and everything in-between.

In this modern world, where most people have no patience or desire to actually put an effort in getting to know somebody, and form connections built on mutual trust and respect, I wish to be an exception to the rule.

If you feel the same, and are searching for more than a passing hello, then I welcome you into my life. Let's start a conversation about anything and everything, and see where it takes us.

Hey! I'm looking for a good local man to form a friendship and a genuine deep connection with 💕 I'd love to find someone that actually wants to get to know me. Someone that I can chat with about lots of things often throughout the day and meet up with regularly for dates and activities, and see what develops. Someone that is interesting, can keep my attention. Let's chat and see if we vibe! 😘

💜 ABOUT ME:

I am 44yo and live in Carroll Co, MD. Im 5’2” with brown eyes and brown hair with blonde highlights and I'm chubby/curvy (pics on profile). I'm a single mom with a FT job, college educated and I'm a bit of a homebody. I like to have fun, and I'm playful, kind, passionate, caring, open-minded and loyal.

♂️ LOOKING FOR:

My preferred man is SINGLE and local, between 32-48yo, a go-getter and knows what he wants (no games), honest, respectful, protective, kind, sane, fun, has a sense of humor, is open-minded, responsible, loyal, emotionally available and affectionate. And an excellent & consistent communicator, likes to chat often (big texter) and likes to cuddle. I'm attracted to guys that are Caucasian, fit(ish), hygienic, DD free (420 is fine, although not my thing) and are selective about who he is with.

Send me a message with some info about yourself and grab my attention (age, location, appearance, hobbies/interests). Also, please send a photo right away 📷

Baltimore, MD, DMV, DC, southern PA

Hi. It's one in the morning where I'm at. Almost three by the time I post this. I should be sleeping because I work in five hours, but I'm listening to music and writing this on my phone instead.

The concept of having someone to confide in, who is my best friend, and someone I care about a lot is something I've thought about for a while now. I wonder, am I capable of loving someone? I've always had a hard time expressing my emotions. The sad ones, the loud ones, the ones that care for things and people... they don't come easy. I think the lifestyle I live and who I am at heart makes this difficult.

I am not much of a speaker. Realistically, if I exclude the moments where I have to make conversation at work, I could go days without speaking to anyone but myself. It's peaceful. It's who I am. I'm an introvert, but it is also excruciatingly lonely. A week goes by, and the most fun I had was finding a new song that I like.

I am patient. Too patient. Painfully patient. I can wait and wait without issue, but it is actually an issue, and I just suppress it. I have a hard time being the one to reach out. I sit and stare when I should be typing a message, making a call. But I don't. I don't want to be a bother. I don't want to be the one who makes things awkward or push someone away because I ask for the same thing every day, so I choose to sit and stew in my loneliness.

I live almost entirely online. This rural Minnesota town I live in doesn't fit my interests, but maybe nowhere does. I can't move. I maybe could never move. Instead, I play games, code, watch videos, and sometimes I just stare at my screen. It's depressing at times. There are days where I feel like my life is wasting away despite moving forward with it. But this is my life. If I wanted to make changes, I would have already made them by now.

I am awkward. I spent most of my life being the quiet one. When conversation came, I never knew what to say. I hate small talk. It's the bane of my existence. There is no interesting response that comes to my head, because at my core, I am not an interesting person.

I am boring. I currently spend most of my days in bed. I wonder, am I depressed? Maybe I have been for years. Many years. But I prefer not to self-diagnose.

Is there another side of me? The one that laughs and smiles and enjoys what is in front of him? The one that makes jokes and is able to laugh at himself? Yes. I know there is. I see him almost every day. For everything that I've said above, that is not all I am.

\\ I apologize for the whiplash that's about to occur, but I think the writing above is necessary. I like being transparent about who I am. I think if someone were to be interested in me, they should first know my flaws.

So, a little (probably a lot) about me.

I'm 23 as of August. I live in Minnesota, and not one of the big cities. I began working full time in the IT industry as of spring 26'. It's somewhere I see myself working for a long time. I don't necessarily have big aspirations when it comes to my working life.

I'm looking for a long distance relationship, with the open possibility of meeting in the future. I'm just settling into the "adult" part of my life, and I'm not keen on starting over by relocating. Ideally, USA or Canada, Midwest region. I'm not sure I could deal with conflicting cultures or timezones.

I'm a PC gamer, and I would wish that you are too. If there were any hobbies I wish I could share with you, it would be this one. My favorite genre is FPS. Counter Strike, VALORANT. I think it's pretty unlikely that we would share this interest just because of the nature of the games, but I would love to duo queue with you. I am not someone who lives and dies by my rank. I also like tons of co-op games including Minecraft, "friendslop," and survival games.

I do have to put it out there that there are games I am reluctant/unwilling to play, and they are popular ones. Overwatch/Marvel Rivals, League, Battle Royales. These have never been my thing, and it will likely stay that way.

I don't watch many movies, or any recent media for that matter. My favorite movies are Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Star Wars, The Fugitive, Fight Club, or basically anything with Harrison Ford. I find that a lot of newer media doesn't have the same charm as the older stuff.

I'd like to watch more anime, but I just can't do it alone. It's hard for me to digest media that is delivered in seasons. I don't have the attention span for it when I'm by myself. Some of my favorite animes I've watched are Seven Deadly Sins, Blue Exorcist, SAO, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

I'm a huge Jerma fan. He's one of the only reasons I still find myself being able to laugh when everything feels so hard. Most of the stuff I watch nowadays is on YouTube, and when I can't find something to watch, it's a bad day. I also like watching professional VALORANT. Champions 2026 ended just a few days ago and I was able to watch it live at like two in the morning.

I'm a bit insecure about my appearance, but I won't hide it either. I'm white, 6'0", skinny, and I have blonde curly hair. If you'd prefer to exchange pictures to establish attraction after first talking, I am okay with that. Everyone has preferences. I am not sure if I know mine entirely yet. I think I like the thought of someone a bit older than me rather than someone younger.

There is, admittedly, a lot of text in this post, and I still feel I could say more. I have a habit of over sharing when I write like this. Some will see this wall of text and skip it. Some will skip to the bottom. Some will read it all and move on. And hopefully, some will stay. The following TL;DR will be what I'm looking for in its most simplest form. Thank you for reading.

TL;DR Looking for LDR. Person to talk to and play and stream games with and watch media together. Preference for someone same age or a bit older (23+).

Hey there, I’m Max, a semi nomadic 23M originally from the UK/US, but I'm going to be in France for a while. I move around a lot, so my location is always changing. Here's what I look like if you're curious.

-About me

If I had to briefly describe my world view, I would say that I’m an optimistic nihilist with occasional (frequent) bouts of sad boy emo doomer angst. I’m a believer that happiness and fulfillment ultimately comes from within, but definitely won’t say no to some companionship, and think everyone could benefit from some good old fashioned jolly cooperation. 

I have been a world traveler for most of my life, and am always on the move somewhere. As such, even if we are currently on opposite ends of the world, there is a very high chance I’ve either been to or will go to your country in the future. I generally think that culture barriers and differences are massively over exaggerated, so I’ll gladly talk to people from anywhere. I currently go to university online, although I’m about to graduate soon.

I wouldn’t say I’m religious at all, but I greatly appreciate eastern religion and philosophy, namely Buddhism and Taoism. I would generally say I’m not spiritual, but I think mastery over the body and mind is something everyone should strive for, and that pretty much everyone would benefit from more self reflection and less distraction.

-My interests

I’d say I’m generally quite nerdy, and have quite a wide range of interests. I’m a big reader and Gamer ™ , and have recently become interested in Warhammer, although mostly the lore rather than the actual game. Day trading is my current obsession, and I also used to play chess semi competitively as a kid. I’m out of practice, but will still win if we play. I always appreciate book recommendations, although my reading list is too long as is. I’m a recovering league of legends addict, and have been sober for about a year now. Sometimes I do still get the competitive game itch, so I’m thinking of starting to learn counter strike, so if you play that, please teach me. Card games have always been the genre I like the most, so I love games like MTG and poker, although I’m still pretty terrible at the ladder.

-My looks

In terms of looks, I’m a 5’8, 120lb(52kg) white guy with blond hair and green eyes. I try to go to the gym most days, so I’m at least in decent shape physically. I had scoliosis surgery as a kid, so I now have 2 metal rods going all the way down my back. I’m perfectly happy sending pictures of myself in DMs.

Hopefully something has piqued your interest from my post, so I look forward to chatting. I suppose I'll leave it at that for now, so I hope you have a good day/night

Hey!

I am looking to find a nice, respectable Arabic lady to have a conversation with. My intentions are to meet someone who will put in the same effort into building a lasting relationship.

About me: 

I am a 41M Arab American, born and raised in Los Angeles. I come from a Christian family and I am close to my family and friends. I enjoy getting out and going for walks or hikes either at the beach, in the mountains, at the mall, festivals, antiquing etc. I like to read as much as I can and can sit for an hour or so and knock out chapters of a book at the end of the day before bed. I usually exercise in the morning with basic stretches, curls and pushups and I want to exercise more by getting back to the gym but I like my privacy and my own home gym is the goal. I would like to spend more time outdoors, hiking, camping etc so I imagine I would like to own a truck (gas prices, I know) one day to enjoy those hobbies and others with my partner.

Other things about me:

I am usually in bed by 9pm+ unless there is Dodger baseball game on and if you know the schedule, home games usually start at 7 and end at 10. I am a big baseball fan and side from that, I am disciplined.

I do not drink or use cannabis, I do not need those things in my life and I cannot live the life I want to live if my partner is a consumer. Again, I am disciplined.

If you like talking about investing, the stock market, saving money for our future together and places where we would like to travel, we're a match.

I love dogs and would like to have one in the future so if you are a pet lover...match.

I would like to start my own garden one day where I can harvest for my own use. Flowers too to give to you of course.

Who I am searching for:

I am looking for an Arabic lady between the ages of 30-40 who understands our culture, language, habits etc. Someone who understands we are each other's protector spiritually, physically and financially. Someone who enjoys the outdoors but can also spend time relaxing and reading together. Talking. Cooking together. Having meals together. Planning spending time together on weekend getaways and also vacations. A travel companion to check off the places I want go. A family orientated lady who desires a man that is/can be capable of providing a life for his mate. Someone who can encourage me to be a better person and achieve our goals and dreams together. A simple lady looking for something real.And someone to teach me to read, write and speak better Arabic. I want to be recultured.

Now here is where things might get sticky, I would like to live a child free life because..I want to enjoy the fruits of my labor, savings and I want to travel but it is not out of the question.

Message me your age, location and what brought you to me. Add some details about your life and career goals. Hobbies and anything else to spice up the conversation. It would also be great if you were in La or surrounding area, distance can be a difficult when you want to meet the person to start a spark. I am willing to swap pictures when a first date is confirmed and I feel like I am not going to be stood up.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Have a nice day to those passing by!

(with the hope of a monogamous LTR)

Heya anyone pass by this post!

I'm a single, straight, without attachment (no kid, no ex that still communicates), 39 y/o woman from Asia (as well as living here) is looking for someone to enjoy a conversation with.

Be it about a dream society that you could think of, or the meaning of existence, or how to be kind without being taken advantage of, take life seriously or just go with the flow.

Of course, I enjoy small talks and daily life stuff as well. Food, music, movies, book, travel.

But I can't keep my mind off some deeper topics.

A bit about me:

When it comes to love & relationship, I'm intentional into finding and being with my one & only.

I'm still finding a balance between not-needy and don't care, catering to my own selfish desires and just learn to accept life.

I'm described as a good listener and I'd like to think about myself as an empathetic being.

I try to understand people but I don't have to stay where they are.

I'm better at recognize my emotions and thought pattern and work on them.

For me, looking at stars during a dark night is as interesting or more than an extravagant experience, since it's way harder to see stars nowadays.

I mostly only use social media for what is needed.

I'm not attached to any religion or faith though I respect all believes.

What I'm looking for is my best friend, with the hope that we could completely trust each other, and help to bring out the best in each other, going through thick and thin of life together.

Even if life could be hard, we could still look at each other and smile because we've found the best thing happened to each other's life.

I understand that all other info such as appearance, location, career, life goals are important, those would be gradually exchanged with someone suitable when we're both comfortable.

We are just two strangers trying to find out: if the other person is even real with genuine intention; if we match up in values, life goals, characters and chemistry; if we both determine to make things work.

I feel like I match best with people closer to my age, non-smoking, minimum drinking, without or minimum tattoos, without long hair, pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Of course, those are preferences and by the end of the day, being with someone decent is probably better than dying alone, those are just some directions to see who I could match best.

So if you feel that we could have some decent conversation and could determine to make something work, reach out to me!

What do you think should happen for modern/online dating to be better?

Should everyone get verified before participating to make sure that they're at least a real person?

How should we focus on what we could build with someone match us, rather than constantly finding someone better?

Giving myself a chance is giving you a chance, and vice versa, however, please don't be fear of missing out. Probably dying alone is still better than getting a really bad match, though.

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a genuine connection with a woman who wants to build something meaningful. Someone to share adventures with, go on long trips, try new things, and make memories together. Someone who enjoys being active but also appreciates quiet nights at home. I'm looking on reddit since I though well why not, dating apps also aren't working for me and I've given up on them.

A little about me: I'm a tall guy with a big heart, 29 years old and living in Arnhem, the Netherlands. I enjoy going to the gym, gaming, riding my motorcycle and going for walks and runs. I like discovering new places and to do spontaneous things. Im also more than happy to spend a day as a couch potato and watch a movie or game there.

What I'm looking for:

\- Living in the Netherlands or close to the border

\- Somewhere between 24 and 34 years old

\- Affectionate, kind, and able to communicate openly, also when you are busy, just tell me :)

\- Someone who wants a relationship, not just a temporary distraction

Physically, I'm generally attracted to 1.65m+, takes care of herself, active, slim to average, but chemistry and personality matter just as much so see it more as a preference, I can definitely be attracted to you if you dont match the generally attracted things.

I'm not looking for perfection. I want someone I can laugh with, be myself around, support, and come home to. Someone who can be my adventure buddy out in the world and my cuddle buddy when we're back home.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, tell me a little about yourself! Bonus points if you tell me your dream travel destination.

Hello everyone!

I'm 45, originally from Hong Kong, and currently living in New York. I work as a Chanel distributor, and life has become a little more relaxed for me these days. I'm even starting to think about retirement and what the next chapter of my life might look like.

I love traveling, exploring different cultures, discovering new places, and enjoying good food. I also appreciate the quieter moments in life, like a peaceful walk by the water, watching a beautiful sunset, or sharing a nice conversation over coffee.

As I've gotten older, I've come to believe that a meaningful relationship isn't about finding someone perfect. It's about finding someone who is genuine, kind, emotionally mature, and willing to understand and appreciate each other.

I'm drawn to men who have a good sense of humor, a warm heart, and a positive outlook on life. Someone who values honesty, loyalty, mutual respect, and isn't afraid to have meaningful conversations.

I believe the best relationships often begin with friendship, grow through trust, and become stronger through the little things we do for each other.

I'm not looking to rush into anything. I'd rather take the time to get to know someone naturally and see whether there's a real connection that could grow into a loving, lasting relationship.

If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to hear a little about yourself.

What's one thing you've learned about love and relationships as you've gotten older?

Well, I stand at a modest 6’3. I have 3 tattoos on my arms, I’ve been a boxer since I was in middle school and still do to this day. I work full time in consulting and travel most of the time.

I like to read, write, compose poetry, watch anime, play video games, hit the gym and go on walks to clear my mind.

I value chemistry and connection more than anything else probably but I am human and having a physical attraction is still extremely important regardless. I’m looking for my potential better half somewhere in this vast planet of ours, it doesn’t really matter where she’s based since I’ll probably be in a city or country near her at some point. I value shared interests a lot and seek stimulating conversations.

Dm me if you think we’d get along or you’d like to know more about me.

Hi My name is João Gabriel,im from Brazil. Im Very Nerdy i love History ,animes , Animation,Marvel,Star Wars etc And i love to Write fanfics.

About your looks,you dont need to be a Model ir whatever ,i Just want someone that is afectionate , cute nerdy. But i think Chubby Woman are more beautiful haha but If you are not doesnt matter .

Hey there, I’m from MA (Massachusetts) but I don’t really have a preference as to where you are located. Long distance/online, even if it’s across an ocean. I’m starting to believe maybe my soulmate isn’t even on this planet so yeah I don’t really care about distance.

Never thought I would be posting on Reddit putting myself out there but here we are. A friend of mine found her partner from a post he made so why not give it a go.

About me:

As for my appearance I’m 6’3” tall, average/skinny, brown hair, brown eyes. I’ve been described as having a pretty decent complexion but thanks to eczema and rosacea I tend to have skin flare ups more frequently in the colder months.

As for my style, I don’t have one set style. I tend to go for a more relaxed appearance and wear what makes me comfortable. I’ve been told I dress like a skater which is true given that I do skateboard.

I work for an industrial 3d printing company as an Engineering Specialist. It’s not glamorous and I’m on my feet all day but I enjoy it a lot and what my company does.

For my music taste I’m a bit eclectic. I gravitate to metal, but I enjoy lots of other genres too. I will listen to just about anything, although I hate MODERN country, and today’s excuse for rap music. To name a few bands and artists: between the buried and me, Insomnium, Billy strings, Wu-tang, Tupac, Masayoshi Takanaka, T-Square, Prince, and Michael Jackson are my top ten as of late.

I am currently a retired bassist. I played in a bunch of bands since I was 14 and yeah nothing ever stuck. I don’t play anymore due to losing interest and not being in a group.

As for hobbies, I gravitate towards the nerdy side of things. Seems common amongst many of posters on here, nerds unite ✊🏻. So yeah my nerdy hobbies include but are not limited to; videogames (SHOCKER), Magic the Gathering, Pokemon Card collecting, Fantasy novels, D&D, and LEGO’s. I could talk about anything in more specifics so I’ll leave it for anyone who sends me a message and asks.

In addition to being a nerd, I’m also into fitness. I’m not all that muscular and I’m don’t desire to be Hercules or anything. I go to the gym mostly to stay in good shape, and low key to get the cloud strife build. I’ve played FF7 way too much, can you really blame me?

On occasion I have been known to draw or paint. By no means am I good but I try my best. I have three paintings I’m really proud of but I definitely want to improve my skills.

I am a skater, “WOOOOOOOW NO WAY HE SAID HE DRESSES LIKE ONE I WONDER IF HE DOES”. I literally skateboard to work because I live close enough to my job that I don’t need to drive a lot, and everything I like doing is within a mile of me so I skate a lot.

I have my own place and live alone. My sister is currently staying with me but it is not permanent. I enjoy having my own space to exist and keep it very clean.

I have an emotional support cat 🐈‍⬛, all black, and he’s an absolute menace. He’s about 6 years old, I got him after he turned 2 so roughly had him for 4 years now. He’s my #1 before anything else.

My relationship with my family is get this, really good actually. I see my folks pretty regularly, especially my father since over the last two years he fought and beat cancer. As for other family members, it’s really positive. Everyone in my family is really supportive and watches out for each other.

Lastly I love to cook. I was a chef for many years in my early 20’s and learned a lot of skills during my time in kitchens. I continue my culinary journey through cooking for family and friends. Every year I do a LOTR marathon and along with atleast two other people we tackle all seven Hobbit meals so you could say I know my way around a kitchen. My best dish is my chicken tikka masala, 100% from scratch.

What I’m looking for:

I’m hoping to find someone who shares similar or parallel hobbies and interests as me. I’m really not that picky, but I am picky within good reason.

It is important to me that a potential partner does not mind that I’ll often do things on my own. I value my independence and make it a priority to do what I feel is best and what will make me happy. With that said, I would like it if a potential partner showed interest (if we don’t already share common interests) in the things I enjoy and maybe got involved in some things with me. This goes both ways obviously.

I’d prefer someone who has a sweet, calm, and compassionate demeanor. A plus for someone who can read others moods well. I tend to be very reserved or put up a wall when I’m not feeling myself. Patience with me is really appreciated as I don’t like to be pushed when I’m in a mood. I don’t think anybody does.

I don’t care about looks that much. I look more at someone’s personality over anything else. Just be yourself and we’re golden.

If you’re interested, wanna know more, and read all the way through thinking “YEAH, THIS GUY IS RAD” shoot me a message! my DM’s are open. If you couldn’t tell throughout this post I can be pretty of a goof. But anyways, Thanks for reading

Hiii, I'm a 21M student from France, and I'm looking for someone to love forever and unconditionally ! I've never been in a relationshop before, and that's not something I want to rush, because I want something meaningful, life is too short to spend it with someone that isn't right for you ! :)

I think physical attraction is a must for both sides (what's the point if my eyes aren't sparkling when I see the love of my life...), so I have to describe myself a bit : I'm around 1.90m (6'3" if I'm not mistaken), I don't know exactly, for 80 kg. I go to the gym several times a week, so I've a decent shape and a very low body fat percentage. I've got a very white skin, green eyes with a bit of brown, brown hair, a bit long and a bit curly, and I've a slight myopia, so I wear glasses sometimes.

Personally, I prefer white and asian girls, but there are some beautiful girls from everywhere in the world so that's not a dealbreaker at all. Your height doesn't matter at all to me, but I'd prefer if you're not too chubby, sorry but it's a personal preference. I'd like someone, who takes care of herself, who looks cute and feminine, and maybe wears some colorful clothing, because it is joyful ! I don't know what else to add about this, except having decent teeth, I don't have really specific physical criteria. :')

About personality, I'd say that I'm an ambivert, it just depends on how I feel, I can be really calm, or really hyperactive depending of the situation. I'm also really sensitive, I'll cry at almost every moment you're supposed to cry to if I watch a movie ... I'm someone positive, I've been working on this for a few years, and I would love to keep improving with someone who share the same values, I don't get how people get mad so often, what do you mean you are mad because someone forgot to switch the light off for 5 minutes ? 😭​
I don't know how I would be in a relationship since I've never had any, but all I know is that I would do my best to improve and take care of you, and I think that it's the most important thing ! I would love someone with the same mentality, the goal is to be like a sun for each others, not making each others doubt or feel bad.

I also have to write to write about hobbies and what I like to do :

• I love sports, I watch football and I go to the gym, but I just love physical effort in general
• Video games, I mostly play competitive game like Valorant or League, I also play Genshin, but I'd play any game with the right person !
• Music, I love music sooo much (I know everyone does, but still :D), I've thousands of liked titles on Spotify, of any genre, even though my favorites are Pop/Kpop.
• Anime / Series, I just started watching animes again after like 3 or 4 years, and I'm really enjoying, and I just watched a K-Drama for the first time and I enjoyed it very very much as well !
• Travelling, I've never traveled alone, even tho I'd love to, but It's always so exciting to discover new places !
• Food, when travelling, tasting the local food is one of my favorite thing, and I also care about nutrition, because it is closely linked to sport !

I'm open-minded about learning or trying new things, but I can get bored easily depending on the activity/topic 😭​. I've started to play piano some months ago, I'm not good at it yet but I'm having a lot of fun, I'm also learning Korean because I thought it would be fun to learn a language with a new alphabet, and that's the language I see the most on internet with French and English. I can also enjoy very simple things, like going for a walk at night alone, it feels like time is stopping for a few minutes sometimes, I'd love to find sometimes with whom we can make time stand still...

About age, I'd say that a 4 years gap is a maximum, but I don't want it to be a dealbreaker, and about location, I don't mind, but the long term goal would obviously be to live together ! :) I don't smoke or drink at all, smoking is a dealbreaker, drinking can be fine if it's very moderate, but personally I'll never drink ! I want me and my soulmate to be healthy to live as long as possible together ! :)
If having a pet is a must for you, we're probably not made for each other, I don't dislike them, but I don't feel well around them😭.
Obviously I want someone who isn't dry texting, it would make me feel really bad, and someone who would communicate when needed :)

I don't know what else to add, don't hesitate to message me and ask any question. If you're interested, show some efforts in your message, that's really important for me (and first impression is really important as well) ! :) I'll obviously read everything so don't be scared of writing too much !

Thank you for reading, and have a lovely day/night everyone ! ☀️​🌙

I'm a bigger guy so if that's not what your into you, or it's a turn off then don't bother.

I'm genuine, caring and funny I'm very respectful and fun to talk to, let's chat and see where it goes. I'm looking for someone genuine, someone who gets me and actually wants me for who I am.

I have Been out of the game for about 5 years or so, trying to get back into it and thought I'd try on here. I've been divorced for 5 years now and dating is hard, I've tried dating apps etc but it's just not my thing. I am from Canada. I love YouTube, true crime, fishing, Pokemon, watching movies, listening to music and hanging out. Don't be afraid to DM me

First, to be clear about location: I'm based in the Southeastern region of the USA. It would be amazing if my person is within driving distance in the same region, but for a number of reasons I have my doubts that's true. Country music, fashion, and that accent some of you may think is specific to Texas if you're reading this from another country, are all very common here and sadly those are all turn offs for me. That said, I think if my soulmate is even in the USA, she's probably in the north, west, or midwest. If by the end of this post, you think you might be the one I'm looking for and I might be the one you're looking for, you don't have to be in the USA to find out. 😁

(My profile is tagged because of one of the places I post this to since some have actually had luck finding something serious there. Figured it's worth a shot, haha.)

I'm searching for the kind of wonderful woman who shares most of my interests below in addition to her hobbies and interests, who's also goofy, likes to playfully insult each other, and also believes in open and honest communication. I believe with that, we can work out any problems when they arise. 💛

• I'm a gamer, car guy, and maybe one day, a musician too. I enjoy anime, nature, going on little adventures, swimming, traveling... I wanna see the world with you.

- Current games I've focused on lately are R.E.P.O., Deep Rock Galactic, and trying to 100% Doom Eternal, but this changes and there are tons of multiplayer games in my library! I would also eventually like to play other things together like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Terraria, etc.

- My taste is music is nearly everything except country and today's rap. To name a few bands/musicians I really love: Led Zeppelin, Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Queens of the Stone Age, Mac Demarco, Them Crooked Vultures, and Metronomy.

• I want to dance with you. In the living room, bedroom, back yard, in the park, almost anywhere. I enjoy doing romantic things and expressing my love. I love deep conversations that distract us from the passing of time.

• I'm a dog person because my allergies chose to target cats for whatever reason, so there's that. 😅

• I'm monogamous and don't have children currently, but they're in my future plans. I want to spend plenty of time with you, and enjoy the best of life as a couple, and then as spouses, traveling and whatnot, before we start a family. 🤗

• I'm really hoping to find someone who's also into dirty humor (amongst other forms of humor) and has mutual...interests 😏 so we have even better compatibility in the bedroom (and sometimes away from home too). I usually have a high libido, but making sure we both feel safe and trust one another first is crucial. 😁

• Specs for those who would like them:

- 6 feet tall (about 183 cm).

- 190 lbs and dropping (about 86 kg).

- My figure is very dad-bod at the moment, but apparently it comes with a nice ass (so I'm told).

- I'm targeting somewhere around 170 lbs (about 77 kg).

- Brunette/dirty blonde, kept relatively short.

- Blue eyes.

- Caucasian.

• My type? If I had to describe my type, I guess Caucasian or East Asian ranging from petite to average body type. I don't love going to the gym, but if you have or want a membership I wouldn't mind going together. 😁

I apologize if my preferences differ from who you are. You're all beautiful people, regardless! Please love yourself and enjoy the time you're given in life! 💛

Chat with ya soon! 😁

(This is probably the last time I'm going to post something like this because I have been unsuccessful for the past few months. I'm not giving up, just that it might be because I need to maybe work on myself? Anyways I'll figure that out, but hope I can find someone this time 🤞🏻:)

So, I am a 25 year old currently working in healthcare. Juggling studies for the past few years and now working too has made me realise how much I've neglected my "love life" and for what? Working and earning only? No more. So I want to put myself out there and find someone to spend my life with, to love. Being an introvert I think an anonymous platform like Reddit serves my purpose well.

Anyways I'll write about myself a little and let you decide if I fit your....template?

Some points about me :-

- I'm a 5'6 mesomorph with spectacles, a beard and moustache. I'm fairly active (fellow healthcare workers can relate😅). I have dark eyes and dark hair with fair skin? I'm not handsome per say but I think I look alright.

- Interests - I'm really into reading fiction especially sci-fi and recently fantasy too (my current page turner is by Frank Herbert, which is obviously Dune!). I also recently started cooking and am loving it(still a novice by any standards). I binge a lot of thriller and travel shows in my free time (I know weird combo right), but my main interest still remains human biology. Did I forget to mention visiting new food spots also is something I like to do when I'm out.

- I am a bit of a clean freak (but don't worry that only applies to me and I won't force my tendencies on you). I also sometimes have trouble concentrating and completing tasks as I get distracted easily, so that's something you should know about me.

- What I want in a partner? Honesty and communication (honesty being a non-negotiable). I do think physical attraction matters and if one of us is not attracted to the other then that 100% a-okay!

So this is a little bit about me, so if you think you like anything and are interested, do DM me!

I’m a Miami transplant happily making a life in Chicago. I’m 5'5", curvy, with tattoos, and I’m kind, affectionate, loyal, curious, and just the right amount of silly. Movies are my happy place, but I’m equally up for a concert, play, museum, coffee shops, breweries, sporting events, a restaurant neither of us has been to, or wandering around the city and seeing where we end up.

What I miss, and what I’m hoping to find, is having my person. Someone whose presence makes even the boring things better. Someone I can laugh with, flirt with, be affectionate with, talk to about absolutely nothing and everything, and occasionally annoy the hell out of. I want chemistry and attraction, but I also want the comfort that comes from really knowing someone and being known by them.

I’m looking for someone who wants to actually date. Not just message indefinitely. Let’s talk, see if we click, go grab coffee or dinner, and find out whether we like each other in the real world. Revolutionary concept, I know.

Ideally, you’re 40–55 and in the Chicago area. You’re kind, communicative, curious about the person you’re talking to, and established in your career. I’ve built a life of my own, and I’m looking for someone who has done the same and is ready to make room in it for another person.

And speaking of conversation: if your opening message is just “hey,” you’re making this unnecessarily difficult for both of us. Tell me something about yourself. Ask me something. Tell me what caught your attention. Give me something to work with.

I’m including a recent photo, so please include one too. Attraction matters on both sides, and I think it’s only fair that we both know who we’re talking to from the beginning.

I’m not looking for perfect. I’m looking for mutual-mutual attraction, mutual curiosity, mutual effort, and two people who are genuinely excited to keep getting to know each other.

If that sounds good to you, come say hello.

Currently a man in southern Indiana, though I do move around alot. In a few years plan on being retired and starting a new stage in my life and I want to share that experience with someone. My interest are pretty nerdy, board games and table top, but I also work out regularly and love to travel. I am a bit on the short side at 5'2, but that wont stop me from opening a door for you or a jar of pickles. Weird hobby is I like to travel around and eat at diners from hamburger america by George motz. Currently enrolled in college, never to late to finish your education, im on a permanent crusade to better myself. If any of that seems interesting feel free to message me.

hey! i'm 24 and from belarus. honestly, i'm just hoping to meet someone i enjoy talking to and see where things go.

i'm into gaming, music, and all kinds of random conversations. i can go from joking around to talking about life at 3 am pretty easily lol. it'd be nice to have someone to share songs with, talk about our days, send random messages to, and slowly get to know better.

i can be a little quiet at first, but once i get comfortable, i open up pretty easily. i'm not trying to force anything. it'd just be nice to meet someone i click with, whether we start as friends or it turns into something more.

if you think we might get along, feel free to message me! tell me what music you listen to or what games you play, or just say hi :)
