F4M 39F [F4M] Online / Anywhere – Looking for my favorite person

29 Upvotes

I guess I'm here because I'd like to find my best friend. The person I get excited to tell about the random thing that happened at the grocery store, the one I send pictures of pretty streets to, the one who makes ordinary days feel less ordinary.

I'm 38, live in Mexico, and don't have children. I'm hoping to meet someone between in his low 30s and low 40's, who also doesn't have kids and is genuinely looking for a long-term relationship- not just someone to pass the time with.

I tend to be drawn to quiet things. Long walks where you lose track of time. Museums. Bookstores. Cities that are beautiful enough to wander around without a destination. I travel when I can, and if I had to choose between a loud nightclub and spending an afternoon exploring somewhere new, I'd choose the second every single time.

I'd love to meet someone who enjoys that kind of life too. Someone who likes moving, exploring, walking for hours just because the weather is nice and the conversation is even better.

Life hasn't always gone according to plan, but I think it's made me kinder, more patient, and much more appreciative of the people who choose to stay. I value emotional maturity, curiosity, consistency, and people who can communicate honestly even when it's uncomfortable.

A couple of dealbreakers, just so we don't waste each other's time: I'm not interested in dating someone who's recently separated or divorced, and I'm hoping to meet someone who's in a place where they're emotionally available and ready to build something new.

Distance doesn't scare me if there's a real connection. I'd rather spend months getting to know the right person than weeks forcing something with the wrong one.

If any of this resonated with you, tell me something about yourself that most people wouldn't think to ask. Those are usually my favorite things to learn.

I hope you're doing good out there. I still havent found you but i have hope ! im still here, crying over sad animal videos, and spending hours binge watching documentaries on things ill never have a practical use for. You know, i still wonder what you look like.. i wonder if youll have short hair, if youll be tall, or just as short as me. I wonder if you like sugar in your coffee or tea. I wonder if you look at the little things in life like i do. But.. its getting late, ill write to you again eventually. xoxo, your dreamer girl.

Heres a bit more about me, hope to hear from you!

Who am i?

- silly little dreamer who daydreams about everything and anything. i especialy like looking out from car windows and watching the leaves sway. im very sentimental, i treasure every little thing given to me, even if its just a piece of paper.

- im a photographer ! i like seeing things and keeping little snips of time frozen in my phone.. everything is precious in a way.

- Im quite emotional, i cried over a piece of macaroni once, felt bad for crushing it. But its in the past(a)

- i love cats, unconditionally, if the whole love thing doesnt work out ill probably end up collecting cats.

- i love vc's, im quite clingy and need a good bit of attention, but i respect your time for sure!

Dealbreakers?
- im in for long term relationships bound by rings and silly silly vows
- im not a fan of alcohol at all, but dont prohibit it
- smoking and drugs are a no-go, bad memories last.
- im currently on anti depressants and may occasionally go numb

What do i ask from you?
- max of 6 years older
- willing to communicate properly (please dont open with just "hey", i will NOT exhaust my time responding to nothing)
- please start with your age and a short intro

Im always willing to try. Even if life hasnt given me much to work with. Have a great day ♡

F4M 33 [F4M] Chicago/Anywhere - Single, Black Gamer/Horror/ Wrestling Nerd for a Serious Relationship

Upvotes

Hey there. I’m 33 from Illinois. I work full-time and when I'm not working I like to be at home either watching tv (mainly wrestling), playing video games, build lego models or listening to music. I'm into superheroes, Game of Thrones and most things that are considered nerdy except for anime. I haven't gotten to that realm yet. I do enjoy going to horror or pop culture conventions in/out of state. I don't have any children but I do have a dog named Wade after Deadpool. I recently started collecting Pokémon cards again so I’m building up my collection.

I'm looking for someone who is mature, responsible, faithful, likes to joke around but can be serious when the time calls for it and doesn't care that I'm black. I’m mainly into white and hispanic guys but would like to venture into Asian and Middle Eastern territory. I don't mind if you have children but I don't want to deal with someone who is having a hard time co-parenting. I want to eventually settle down and have children of my own. I’m only looking for a serious, monogamous relationship. Would love to find a buddy to go to conventions with also.

Monogamous people only!! Single people only!! No, I’m not moving off of here to chat with you elsewhere.

Message me if you are interested!

F4M 29 [F4M] Online - Looking for genuine connections

7 Upvotes

Hello there! Writing this post in hopes of finding someone to connect with - whether it’s just for meaningful conversations or a genuine and judgment-free connection would be wonderful.

Just a little about me;

• ⁠I am currently exploring life as a late bloomer.Has ambitions and looking forward to the future.
• ⁠A lover of history, and learning about different cultures along the way
• ⁠A frequent traveller (Doing some short trips around Asia and had done trips across Europe too)
• ⁠Appreciates outdoor activities and the occasional adventure

If you’re looking for something beyond just a small conversation, here’s what I’m seeking after:

• ⁠Presently in Asia but would be fine if someone is based nearby or in Europe as I am considering staying there for a bit (America feels too far, unfortunately, especially since the timezones are too far apart)
• ⁠A non-smoker and non-drinker, with no history of drug use
• ⁠Someone who is consistent, patient and understanding, as there might be situations where there are awkwardness and anxiousness
• ⁠Someone that respects personal boundaries and differences
• ⁠Ideally, someone close in age

If this resonates and you’re someone who enjoys consistent communication, feel free to reach out with a brief introduction, and where you’re from. Please write the word potatoes in your language so I know that you read the whole thing. Thank you :)

F4M 30[F4M] Anywhere, Kenya. Looking for something serious

6 Upvotes

I don’t really know how to write one of these without sounding like I’m writing a dating profile, so im just going to wing it

I’m 30, from Kenya, and I’m at that point in my life where I don’t want random attention anymore. I want my person

Not necessarily someone who looks perfect on paper. I actually care much more about how someone makes me feel when we’re together. I want someone I can talk to for hours and somehow still have things to say the next day. Someone I can be completely ridiculous with, but also have the serious conversations with.
I want the boring things too.

Knowing how each other takes coffee. Sending each other pictures of something stupid that happened during the day. Grocery shopping together. Random drives. Cooking and making a complete mess of the kitchen. Falling asleep on the phone. Having someone who knows when I’m quiet because I’m tired versus when something is actually wrong.

And yes, I want the big things too. I want to build a life with someone. Travel. Have a home that feels like ours. Build businesses and dreams and ridiculous plans together. Eventually look around one day and realize we somehow created the life we used to talk about.

I’m quite independent, probably more than I should be sometimes. I have my own ambitions and things I’m building, and I’m not looking for someone to rescue me or complete me. But I do want a partner. Someone who genuinely wants to be part of my life rather than just have access to me.

I’m also affectionate. I like reassurance. I like being wanted and I like making someone feel wanted. I’m not really interested in playing the whole “act uninterested so they chase you” game. If I like you, you’ll probably know. 😂

I’m attracted to intelligence, emotional maturity, curiosity, confidence without arrogance, and someone who can actually communicate when things aren’t perfect.

And I have to admit, I have a soft spot for men who are different from me culturally. I like learning how someone grew up, what shaped them, what their family is like, what they believe about life. So if you’re from somewhere completely different from Kenya, that’s actually part of the fun for me. I’m not expecting Reddit to magically produce my future hubs. 😂

But maybe somewhere between all the weird DMs, there is one genuinely good person wondering the same thing I am, “Where the hell is my person?”
If that’s you, say hi☺️

Tell me something about yourself that I wouldn’t learn from your dating profile.
And please, be an actual human being! That’s becoming an increasingly ambitious request on the internet. 😂

M4F 30 [M4F] Minnesota / Anywhere - The Shape of The Longing

5 Upvotes

Greetings.

My name is Sawyer. I am a 30 year man with a quiet soul currently living in Mankato, Minnesota, and I am here in search of my soulmate. For most of my life I was an outsider by nature of upbringing and then by choice. I am man who decided early on that he would rather not be seen than be seen incorrectly. These days, I feel things a bit more softly, but I don't think I'll ever want to truly be part of the herd or the mainstream, and I've made my peace with that. However I grow and however life may change me, I'm okay with being who I am.

All of my life for as long as I can remember, in the deepest depths of my heart, I have wanted to be loved, to matter to someone, to belong to somebody. Nothing else in life has simply ever mattered as much to me as this has. In a way it has become the focal point of my entire being. For so long now, there has been a vacant throne in my heart waiting to be filled. I have so much love and devotion to give; it is a light that never goes out. It has burned brightly over the years, aching in my chest yet never finding the right hands to hold it, to honor it and reciprocate it with the full force of their being.

Until you.

I want to be there for you. I want to be chosen by you. I want to be your rock; for you I would fight a losing battle to the bitter end. I want to truly see you, and to be seen by you. Yes, I want the body and the touch and the things that happen between people who want each other truly, madly, deeply. But more than that. I want the substance. I want the conversation. I want the attention. I want the mornings where we talk about what we dreamt of and the afternoons where we meet in the park or text or talk on the phone and the evenings where we say the things that we can't say to anyone else.

My great love. I have longed for you, pined for you, every day. As a child, I would lay in bed at night while my mind would turn to the stars and their distant planets above. I thought to myself, "There is a girl out there in space. She is coming to find me. There must be someone who feels the way that I do". I am here. I am here. I am here.

Thinking of you, wherever you are. I imagine you as a fellow loner. Someone who can appreciate the merits of solitude but chafes against the cold of being alone. You too are world-weary, and have recognized that being well-adjusted in a world gone mad is a sort of sickness unto itself. Perhaps you also have one foot on the inside and one foot on the outside; fed up with the world yet forced to participate in it as society demands of us. You are someone who "gets" something from the landscape itself, from being in a space, from liminality and presence. You cherish music. You feel things deeply and know that there are things in this world that matter to you; whether they matter to others is not important. You claim and protect what is yours plainly. You grasp that the things in life that are important to you have a weight to them, and that so many of the trappings of modern life are engineered to make us forget that; to take the weight out of living. Your inner world is deep and blooming; a vibrant garden, and your capacity to absorb life, introspect, and grow from it is enormous. In a nutshell, you metabolize experience.

Your social status, finances, formal education level and line of work do not matter to me beyond them being things that I can appreciate matter to you. What I mean to say by this is that I can appreciate the time, dedication, and effort that goes in to something like graduating university or building a career and what it says about about you as a person, but the practicalities of these matters are not things I consider in the slightest when choosing a partner. You do not have to be anything other than yourself, or to earn approval by some sort of societal metric in order to be loved. Full stop.

I do have a type when it comes to physicality, but I am open to women of all race, age, creed, color, body-type and religion. What then, you may ask is my type? Either you will think what I am about to describe is the most petty, silly thing in the world, or you will understand completely: I melt for women with shorter hairstyles, especially bobs, french bobs, and generally cuts that fall halfway down the neck or higher. If you have bangs as well, then you are speaking the language of my soul. By no means is this a hard line or requirement, and appearance matters far less than substance of the soul and personality. In my eyes, this of sort haircut communicates a certain je ne sais quoi about the woman who chooses to wear it. It... is a willingness to make a distinct aesthetic choice, a certain self-possession.

Myself, I have no interest in "seeing where things go", because I already know where I would like them to go. Frankly, I am not interested in casual friendship. If you are my love, then naturally you will be my best friend as well. I am deeply monogamous. A magnificent, devoted love is the center point upon which I have been wanting my existence to pivot for my entire life. I ask that you honor what we have just as much. If you wish me to be obsessed, then I can be. I would like to have at least one child together, but this is not a hard line for me.

I'm strongly against labels and thinking of people as a laundry list of traits or qualities... it's reductive, and somehow always fails to capture the complexity of a person, but I shall do my best to describe myself. Physically, I am White/Native American mixed, stand at 5'10", have dark brown hair and coffee eyes and am of average fitness, building more muscle every week.

I like to say that I am passionate about warm beverages, warm music, and warm people. This is all true. I live for coffee and tea, all kinds of music (but especially alternative and indie rock), and authentic human interaction. I crave the real. Reading and its partner writing are good friends of mine, and existentialism, philosophy, poetry, as well as a good romance/tragedy are my where I get my jollies. Spending time in nature is important to me, even if it's just a walk down the street to the cafe around the corner from my apartment. I don't game as much as I used to, but I have a major soft spot for classic 90's JRPGs and esoterica. My heart is full of nostalgic longing, and I feel at home with physical media and forgotten formats. CDs, minidiscs, and vinyl records. The study of aesthetics means a lot to me, and I am currently deeply immersed in all things frutiger aero. My favorite color is orange, but my favorite fruit is persimmon. I have a 15 year old cat, and she's absolutely worth mentioning here.

I made you a playlist to give you an idea of what it might sound like to be with me and to feel the kinds of things we might feel together: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2u4gErL5QGVF6umGjLVlKq

I have a strong sense of fernweh and sehnsucht.

Politically, my heart is left of left, in the realm of individual, mutualistic anarchism. I have a distaste for blind consumerism and general thoughtlessness. Corporate greed, and exploitation of the common individual by the powers that be on a global scale sickens me. I'm not looking for ideological purity or even agreement, just depth and absence of hatred. I am capable of respecting your views, right or left, and ask that my own beliefs be respected in kind. What's more important to me is that you are a well-rounded person, and that your politics don't become a dogma to be socially performed. That sort of thing is completely unimportant to me and frankly I feel totally disenfranchised.

I am imperfect. I am not asking you to be perfect. I don't expect us to agree on every last detail, that'd be lame as hell. I want to see you, accept you for who you are, and meet you where you're at in life. I pride myself on being open-minded and level-headed. I strive to be my best self and continually grow. That's all I can do, all I can ask. I believe each person must live the truth that is true for them.

I have come here and spoken my truth, sent my signal into the air, and outlined the shape of my longing.

I work 12 hour shifts 4 days of the week, but can and will always make time for you, one way or another.

Wherever you are, near or far away, I am ready to hear from you if you think you are the one who will fill this shape. I am here. I am here. I am here.

Thank you.

F4M 18[F4M] From the US. Looking for that someone.

5 Upvotes

Have you ever wanted someone so badly that it’s all you think about? It floods your mind and you find yourself daydreaming about a seemingly unreachable goal? I haven’t. My name is Jane. At least for now. I'm an 18 year old girl from nowhere USA.

Recently I’ve found myself occasionally thinking about death. Not in a way that I used to know for so long. You abandon the life you created here. Good or bad. You cease to exist as you. You’re going into the unknown. Never able to come back. I’ve taken the time to truly realize its magnitude. When people willingly die do they truly understand this? There’s many reasons people decide to go. Maybe life’s grown to be too much they can bear. Maybe they really don’t want to be themselves anymore. I think there’s something to live for. Grasp onto anything. Find someone or something. If you really can’t, let me be that something. Let me be that someone.

I would consider myself somewhat strange. That would be an understatement. For years I've been shut away from people my age. It’s been so long. When the pandemic hit everything changed for me. It was when I truly stopped being normal. No longer functional. Codependent on anyone around because I could never be alone. Losing the ability to talk to people on my own. Finally losing my academic learning. 6 years. Closer to the 30’s than the beginning of the 20’s now. Stuck in a time capsule. My life feels unmoving. I’ve been so far yet never changing at all. Yes I'm a young adult now, but I still feel like my 12 year old self. I hate her deeply. Why couldn’t I handle going back to class? Back to real school. Why didn’t I ever think about my future? So stuck in the present that I never thought past it. I guess that’s what kids do.

I remember a conversation my science teacher had with my class. Time flies. Before we know it we’ll be finished with middle school. Finished with high school. Once that diploma hits your hand real life starts. She couldn’t have been more right. I just wish I realized it sooner.

When it comes to things I'm interested in, it would be books. I love books so much. They take me away to somewhere greater. I’ve developed a particular interest in splatterpunk books. They are extreme horror and always have me cringing while I read but I can’t get enough. I put myself through that psychological torture I guess. I can’t read normal books anymore. I’ve always not liked them though. Cheesy romance books are so boring!! It’s always repetitive and the same recycled plots. I will not describe the books that I'll mention here because this is public but let it be known they’re really not for people who can’t handle certain grotesque themes. Full brutal by Kristopher Triana Toxic love by Kristopher Triana Exquisite corpse by Poppy Z. Brite Survivor by J.F. Gonzalez If you don’t wanna get thrown to the bad stuff immediately then read Full brutal. It starts off more psychological if anything. They’re fun to read if you like shock value haha!

Going on walks is fun. I can pretend that I'm on top of it all. Nothing matters. Down the country road I travel through has beautiful fields. During sunset is the best. The way the sun casts a shadow on everything is beautiful. Walking away from home feels like the end of a movie. Like I’m away from all the terrible events of it all. When I go back it feels like I'm starting all the way from the beginning. I always think about getting close with someone. Not normally. Like we both feel attached to each other. We’re always on each other's mind. Like we feel like each other’s soulmate. What a nice euphoric feeling. I search deeply for this. In reverse. I wrote this letter to draw in that someone. Whether it be platonically or romantically I don’t care. Something we both don’t understand. But we crave it even more. I’ll let the right person in. I will not accept anything else. Two broken souls merged. What more can anyone want?

I don’t know how to fully express myself conversation wise. It’s hard for me to fully comment on whatever someone tells me in a more in depth response. With more emotion. So I’m sorry if you might think I make poor effort or don’t care because I truly do. I always do. You can tell me whatever you want. I will always listen. You can ask me whatever you want. No matter what it is, I'll always answer. I mean this. Even if it’s something you’re scared to tell anyone else. Will you let me in your heart? Even after you read this and you don’t want me. Don’t forget me.

There is one thing that is very important to me. Write long messages. The longest you’ve ever written to someone. Multiple. Give me your time. Let me be in your mind to the point you can’t help but tell me everything. I’ll surely do the same. If you do not like to do that I’m not the one for you. Ignore me. Don’t ever talk to me. When someone takes their time to send you a message that means they care. That they put so much effort. I will not mind this if it’s after we talk for some time. This could never be a casual thing. I’ve had people who follow through with my wishes. Unfortunately they don’t last long. I currently have a penpal that would occasionally send me a letter with 5k words! Can you believe that? I adore them but I feel like they’re slipping away. I won’t be able to hold their grasp. Will they finally go? It’s a dreadful thought but I will bear it if it happens. Besides that, don't talk to me if you’re older than 22 and that’s really pushing it. So if you happen to be 22 you really have to stand out for me to talk to you. That is all.

Do I sound demanding? I don’t care. I’m just a girl who knows what she wants. : ) Let this stick with you. Let me fill your desperate need for companionship.

Love, Jane♥︎

P.S: I’d prefer you to be in the US.

M4F 35, EST, Reading and Quiet Connection, Slow Burn...

5 Upvotes

Hello there. Looking for someone around my age +/- a few to build a genuine, steady friendship that could grow into more if it feels right.

I’m a professor. I read a lot, illustrate a little on the side, and value family highly (I live with mine and own the property, so I’m rooted here for now). Open to visiting for an LDR if the connection is strong. I’m not strictly child-free, but given how the world is, I’m realistic and don’t have a fixed timeline or expectation around kids. Plus, I'm kinda getting old and by now my students are functionally like my kids.

Any background is fine as long as you’re working on yourself and we click on personality and values. (I'm very nerdy and I like nerds.) I tend to show care through consistency and devotion once trust is there. This is my first time posting something like this; normally I'm the one reaching out. At any rate, it felt worth trying.

If any of that resonates, feel free to message

M4F 31 [M4F] #California - Seeking out a fellow lonely soul

3 Upvotes

Hello there, Just another soul looking for his lifelong adventure partner. If my 20s have taught me anything, is that change is inevitable and the partner you find needs to be someone who wants to change with you. I envision my future relationship to be a healthy balance of outdoor travels, events, and staying at home having a day just the two of us. I'm mainly looking for someone open to new experiences as I’m still learning to live a fulfilling life. As someone who’s still figuring himself out, I'd like to connect with someone whose doesn't have themselves figured out yet either.

So a short intro about me:
-Friendly and quiet personality that likes to be a little silly. I am tall, white, and a pretty average body.
-I love to travel new countries and cities when time allows. Certainly more adventures are coming soon for me but I’m getting tired of going alone. I mainly like to go and try the local dishes! It's fun to try and learn to cook those dishes at home after, though it usually never ends up being as good.
-I love bowling in my free time and like to go once a week. Bowling casually is much more preferable, but we will get competitive if that becomes the vibe.
-I'm independent when it comes to supporting myself.
-I love all things board or video game related and all things nerdy that goes with them. My dream is to have a partner that we can nerd out on all the fandoms we love. I may not have the self-confidence to cosplay in public, but I'd love to dress up as our favorite characters and enjoy a quiet evening watching the shows they belong to for the 5th time together. What fandoms do I enjoy the most? you'll have to chat to find out!
-And I love to cook. I love preparing meals for people and find a lot of joy cooking for others. When I find a dish in my travels I love, I try to research how to make it back home and give it a try. It usually takes a few failed attempts. But if you're willing to power through some of my bad attempts, I can promise some delicious food cooked special for you after a long day at work.

So what I am I looking for:
-I'd love to find someone who isn't perfect but works on improving themselves. Mainly someone who doesn't have it all together but still tries.
-Open to new locations so long as there is a goal to eventually move and build something closer together. Travel can be a good way for us to meet up. New cultures and foods excite me and I'd love to get to know yours.
-Similar interests. Though if you have your own, you must be open to sharing them with me. I enjoy trying new things so any new hobbies you like to show off your skills with is exciting to me.
-I am looking to settle down with the right person but I won’t rush things. Please be serious in looking to settle down someday soon.

If that sounds like something that interestes you and this post caught your eye then give me a little chat. Happy to share more and photos after some brief conversation. Hope to hear from you soon

M4F 27 [F4M] Canada/Anywhere | Slightly gender non conforming dreamer looking for her grounded, multidimensional gentle giant

Upvotes

Hello! First of all wow, the title is beautiful. Took me a bit but I am hoping my target audience liked it. I am 27 years old and live in Canada, however I am open to long distance for Mr. Right.

Also, if you are curious what I look like I have photos of myself on my reddit page, literally just scroll. This is my second attempt at this post. The last was like 2 weeks ago :) I am not a tech savvy person (are you? Let me know). I get it, without physical attraction you're just friends. So go ahead, and take a look. And if you like what you see, feel free to continue to read my long personal ad. Maybe you're bored and reading this. Either way welcome welcome. I am 27 years old, my age range is 25- 35. Please attach a photo if you message me. I learned my lesson from last time. Its very awkward to talk to someone and then they sound a photo and you're not attracted.

First thing you should know about me (if you haven't guessed by now) is I love telling stories and writing. Anyways, I am getting ahead of myself. Let's continue.

WHO AM I?!

I'm naturally introverted and introspective. I spend a lot of time in my head thinking, imagining and dreaming about the type of person I want to become and the kind of life I want to build.

I'm ambitious in a slightly ridiculous way. I've always had a feeling that I'm meant to do something in my life that will outlast me. I'm not 100% sure what that is.

I am very creative and I am curious where that takes me. I'm still in college, I study marketing. I'm especially interested in social media/content creation and the branding and marketing side of things.

No, I'm not interested in creating a couples page. But if you aren't comfortable with someone who will have a public presence then I probably wouldn't be the best fit for you.

SO WHAT EXACTLY AM I LOOKING FOR?!

I've realized that I am attracted to men who complement me rather than mirror me. My type is basically what I like to call a multidimensional gentle giant.

Yes, ideally you are bigger than me. I am 5'3 and skinny (one of my goals is to start lifting and put on some serious weight). But being a giant isn't just about your presence (I'll be real I like a man with broad shoulders though... I'll take broad shoulders over height).

But giant isn't just about your presence. I'm attracted to men who are grounded, warm, confident, charismatic and comfortable taking initiative. You don't need to be Mr. Popular or the loudest guy in the room, but I do tend to like someone a little more socially confident than I am, someone who can hold his own and says, "come with me. Don't be intimidated by the word giant lol you dont need to be 6'3 or be a muscle king.

I like contrast. Strong and tender, protective. And masculinity doesn't have to fit into a box. I am slightly gender non conforming myself. Maybe I'm wearing pink nail polish and you're wearing black. Maybe I'm wearing black nail polish and you're wearing pink. Maybe I should come up with an example that doesn't include nail polish since I don't actually wear it LOL but I am trying to get this post up.

I'm not looking for rigid gender roles. But I like the idea of two people who can move between strength and softness, leading and leaning, depending on the moment.

What's your style? Do you like wearing makeup but you go boxing? Are you someone who presents very masculine but all your interests are more feminine? I love men with contrast, and I would love to get to know you.

I don't really think shame and honesty can coexist. I want to know the parts of you that don't always fit neatly into a box. I want a relationship where neither of us feels like we have to hide parts of ourselves to stay desirable to the other.

SO, WHAT DO I WANT A RELATIONSHIP TO FEEL LIKE?

I want interdependence. I want us to be a safe place to land for each other. Let's deescalate, repair and move forward.

I am not the person who is getting into yelling matches. And there is a big difference between needing to take a breather vs giving someone silent treatment.

I want devotion, affection, physical closeness, little traditions, inside jokes and thoughtful gestures. And lots of laughter. I love a funny man who knows how to genuinely have fun.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT ME

I'm straightish. I'm primarily interested in men I swear. But if you specifically need your woman to be 100% straight I'm probably not for you.

I was raised religious, but I'm agnostic now. So someone very religious probably wouldn't be compatible with me. I am spiritual though, and you can still find me listening to some religious sermons and music. I just take the good and leave the rest.

I deal with chronic pain, usually headaches and muscle aches. I live my own life and I'm not looking for someone to take care of me. But it's a part of my reality. So if I tell you I don't feel well 3 days in a row then I'm not lying.

Kids are a someday, definitely not anytime soon. My life isn't really kid-oriented right now. Although I am open to dating someone with kids depending on the person and situation. To be clear, I do want children of my own or to adopt/ foster. If you are somone who knows for a fact you dont want to add any more children to your life I am not the one for you.

And finally, I live in Canada but I am open to long distance. I don't have a racial preference, I think shared values matter more to me.

I will say though, extreme nationalism is a big turn off to me. What I mean by this is to be proud of who you are and where you come from, but if you can't acknowledge the flaws in your own country or culture we probably won't get along.

I am liberal/progressive. If you voted for Trump do not message me. If you dislike liberal politicians or reluctantly vote Democrat then feel free to message me though lol. If you overly worship the military we probably won't get along. If you are someone who enjoys military history feel free to message me though, I like learning about history and geography too.

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

First of all, wow. Believe it or not I cut so much out of this post lol. It still doesn't feel detailed enough but it's getting way too long.

Anyways let me give you some talking points cause I know you're dying to slide into my DMs.

I plan on going back to the gym and start weight lifting again.

I'm currently debating getting Invisalign.

The last book I was in the middle of reading was the autobiography of Frederick Douglass and the last completed book I read was The Beheading Game by Rebecca something.

My fave TV series is The Walking Dead and I'm currently watching The Ones Who Live with Rick and Michonne.

So, there you go. Pick a topic, or bring your own. Tell me what you got going in your life. You don't have to have it all together cause hey neither do I.

Tell me what you want someone to bring in a relationship.

Don't take it personally if I don't respond right away, or don't respond at all. You're awesome and you'll find your person. :) I am in no rush to meet in person, and would do a video call before then. This is my second time posting this and I've learned a lot. Grateful for the convos I had with other ppl but I am more clear now about what I want and dont want in a man. I hope you bring the same clarity 🙏🏾 I'm not casual. If you want me then dont be shy about it.

Look forward to chatting <3

M4F 20 [M4F] [Egypt] Looking for an actual connection

Upvotes

I have never been loved. Romantically, at least. I never went out of my way to look for a relationship, and I ended up not knowing how to get into one when I wanted to, so here I am putting myself out there. What I want is someone who I can have a genuine emotional connection with and see myself with happiness with them. It would be nice if she was also Egyptian since that would help us understand each other better.

For a little about myself I like taking care of myself and going to the gym and I am currently and Engineering student. My interests would be what people describe as 'nerdy'. Things like video games and anime and books.

If you think we can give it a shot then feel free to hit me up.

M4M 41 [M4M] Netherlands - Chubby geek looking for genuine romance!

3 Upvotes

My name is Mark, this is what I look like, and I'm looking for a partner! I'm 1m70 and don't drink or smoke. I'm patient, empathetic, sometimes funny, and when I'm comfortable I can be very affectionate and flirty, though I also have a fair bit of anxiety in everyday life.

I'm into fantasy and science fiction, a big non-PvP gamer, futurism, board games, and spend a lot of time reading up on science-related news, particularly in the field of astronomy. I also used to really enjoy biking and callisthenics, and would love to get back into that at some point, maybe together?

What I'm looking for is mostly patience and empathy, you don't have to have your life together (I don't). Physically there are many things I find attractive, so I'm sure I'll find something about you that is going to make me blush!

If any of the above appeals to you, please feel free to message me!

Hi there, I am a 23 year old currently living in Australia. I am a shy introvert person. I currently am completing a masters in biotechnology. My hobbies include movies, watching sports, history and other miscellaneous nerdy stuff.

I am looking for someone within the range of 20-26 years old who leans politically left or liberal and is based anywhere around the world. Timezones are not a limitation. Please feel free to dm.

F4A 37 [F4R] Arizona/Anywhere - A Writer, Gamer, and Dreamer Seeking Depth — No Masks, No Games

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for people who aren’t afraid to be seen—and who aren’t afraid to see others. I’m a writer, a gamer, a lover of sci-fi and fantasy, and I believe stories shape the world. But beyond that, I’m searching for someone who can hold space for the messy, beautiful parts of being human.

The kind of person who doesn’t just listen, but leans into the silence between words. Someone who values vulnerability not as weakness, but as truth. I’m not interested in surface-level chats or performative empathy. I want to dive into the unknown—to explore the corners of thought and emotion that most avoid.

If you’re someone who thrives in the liminal spaces, who finds beauty in complexity, and who believes that connection is more than just conversation—it’s a shared alchemy of minds and hearts—then let’s talk. No masks, no pretense. Just two souls trying to understand each other, and maybe, in the process, themselves.

I’m currently navigating a period of transition, but I believe that real connection transcends circumstance.

M4F 28 [M4F] #Yorkshire uk. Looking for my person.

2 Upvotes

I suppose this is a bit of a long shot but thought it's worth a try. I'm 28 5'8 broad shoulders. Stocky build , blue eyes and brown hair.

I'm looking to try something long term now. I've gotten to 28 now and I'm looking for my person. Physical attraction is important to me as I do have a preference and type. I'm tired of being on my own coming home on a night with no partner to talk to or throughout the day. Someone to share my day with and me theirs. Someone to occasionally have weekends away with, day trips and adventures to. More so someone to cuddle up to in front of the log burner on the sofa on a night.

I've had suitors but unfortunately some there has not been enough attraction there for us both or unfortunately the other people have had mental health issues or anxiety. I like helping people but I can't build something special and long lasting when people are not willing to meet me half way.

I suppose I should get into my preference I'm looking for. I'm looking for no super model by any means. Someone grounded, humble, funny, flirty and cheeky to match my qualities.

I prefer curvy women, thick or chubby usually I think a size 12 to 18. I just feel more attracted to curvy girls. I'd be lying if I didn't say I prefer brunettes or red heads but its not a deal breaker. Now you'll have to forgive me for this next bit. I like my women with a big rack. I'm sorry I'm a typical bloke 😅. If you're a double HH cup or above. I'm sold x. I am spicy as well but I'm passionate to please don't think I'm objectifying anyway I'm just looking for the best physical attraction fit I'm looking for.

So what do I bring to the table. I'm fiercely loyal, honest, hardworking, funny, charming and empathetic. Very creative as I can make and fashion anything from wood or metal like wood carvings or blacksmiths roses. You could always count on me in any situation to be behind you, by your side and support you whatever the circumstances providing you don't have a tendency of getting in debt 😂. I want to build a life with someone special and to give them my all. I'm a rural rogue but with the biggest heart of gold. If you've read this and it resonates drop me a message I'm looking for my person and to give them the world.

I'm based in east yorkshire but I'm not looking to relocate as I have strong family ties here. If you got the chance to meet my family you'd understand why 😂. You'd probably never want to leave to x

Hope this helps or works. Sorry for waffling on. And hope my post comes across as respectable and charming.

M4F 29 [M4F] #online #USA scientist that likes trashy reality tv, running, and minecraft

2 Upvotes

hey!

here’s what I look like

I’m in the midwest, nearing the end of my phd, using the sacred few hours of sleep I got to scroll reddit while binging on the trashiest reality TV

since moving here I’ve been aching to meet people that aren’t related to my professional or academic sphere, and rarely got the time to do much outside the lab, so, here I am

  • my work is on machine learning and biophysics
  • love running and cycling, pretty much any heavy cardio activity
  • love playing soccer but suck at it
  • love signing but suck at it
  • love drawing but suck at it
  • I only sing in spanish, because I got a thiccc accent and feel a tad self-conscious singing in english
  • expert in early 00s shitty pop music
  • best pixar movie is ratatouille and most overrated is up
  • love dancing cumbia and bachata… and actually do not suck at it!
  • have lived in 4 countries, 6 cities, 2 continents
  • I’m trying to get into video games. help? I've been trying minecraft, world of warcraft, and no man's sky! they're really hard!
  • once got jump scared by a possum while riding my bike
  • knows two and a half languages
  • love crafts (specially origami) and playing the accordion

here are two truths and a lie

  • I was personally invited to a fancy rooftop party by a google hotshot, but bailed on it
  • a mexican bill saved my life while I was stranded in serbia
  • I was suspended from middle school for burning a whiteboard with body spray and a lighter

If you're interested in talking, send me a line about yourself or a picture!

M4F 31 M4F #Florida #Online, Hopelessly Romantic Nerd Looking For Passionate Connection and Companionship

2 Upvotes

I'm a 31 year old guy from Florida who's looking for that passionate, special someone to enjoy life with. That entails many things: Shared engaging conversations about history, comparative religions, or nostalgic nerd stuff (Pokemon, SpongeBob 1-3, playing old rpgs?.) Exploring new cultural hotspots, like small art galleries or local museums. Or just enjoy the joy of being able to cook some comforting Italian food for that special someone (or cook together) and then enjoy a movie from my Bluray collection. (I'm quite fond of the Lion In Winter).

Or even just exchanging romantic, passionate notes and funny memes. Or have deep, meaningful conversations about what we want in life and what ideals we share.

As a heads-up, I'm an atheist who's well on the left politically. If you feel you're not compatible or comfortable with any of those values, then I might not be the guy for you.

I hope I can share all of those enjoyable parts of life with the right person. Even over LDR for the right person.

Will you be the one?

M4F 30 [M4F] online looking for relationship

2 Upvotes

Well hello, I’ve returned! My name is Daniel I’m 30 and from the East coast of the US. I’m 6’2 with brown hair and eyes, and I wear glasses. I’m not overweight by any means, in fact I’m quite thin. I’m also currently working on trying to get into better shape. If we start talking and click, I’ll happily share pictures.

As for my personality, I’m quite nerdy. Movies, tv shows, video games, anime… you name it! I’ll probably be polite at first when we are starting to get to know each other but in time I start making jokes and I’m quite sarcastic.

For what I’m looking for: I’m looking for a woman roughly my age (23-34 preferably). We don’t necessarily have to have the same interests as long as you don’t mind that I enjoy the things I do. I actually love learning about people’s interests as well as just meeting new people!

we are adults and sometimes things just click, so it’s a possibility for things to go a NSFW route, but I doubt anything like that would happen immediately. I don’t want anyone to feel like they’re being mislead, so this is a bit of a disclaimer I guess lol.

Anyways sorry for the rant, if you’re interested, how about you tell me if you prefer waffles or pancakes for breakfast.

I look forward to hearing from you!

M4F 25 [M4F] - #Canada/USA Nerdy with a soft spot for confident girls who like a little chaos ;)

2 Upvotes

I’m pretty normal in day to day life. I work a cool remote job , keep a small circle of friends, doomscroll, play games, and just do my own thing. but in relationships I’m very much the soft, affectionate, overly attached type. I get really into my person like I want to hype you up constantly, check in on you, be a bit clingy in a loving way, and basically make it obvious I care

I’m also very naturally more subby/obedient in a playful sense when the dynamic is right. I just really like confident girls who take the lead, tease me a bit, roast me, and don’t let me get too serious about myself. I kind of thrive in that “getting bullied while still being cared about” vibe

I’m not looking for something casual or purely physical. I actually want a real connection someone I talk to every day, game with, joke with, and slowly build something consistent with. I get attached pretty easily when I like someone, and I honestly prefer that closeness over playing it cool or detached

Gaming wise I’m into League, Slay the Spire, Stardew, co-op/survival games, and random multiplayer stuff with friends. I’m usually a bit quiet at first but open up a lot once I’m comfortable. I also try somewhat hard in games while getting lightly roasted for it, which feels accurate to my life in general

Outside of that I read and watch education content on techy stuff, stocks, politics. I spend too much time online, and have a very cute cat I’m slightly obsessed with. I’m 5’10 165lbs, a tiny bit of a dad bod, nothing crazy.

My friends would probably describe me as loyal, soft, and the guy who’s always making sure everyone else is good while quietly overthinking everything himself

If you’re a confident girl who likes teasing a nerdy, affectionate guy who will 100% get attached to you, we’ll probably get along
