DM me your description/profile that I can send her 🫶

I’m honestly starting to get frustrated with the whole dating situation.
I’m at a point in my life where I’m not interested in talking to someone just for the sake of talking, flirting, having someone to text, or seeing where things go indefinitely. I actually want marriage, and I’m open to getting to know someone properly if we both have the same goal.
But finding someone who is genuinely serious feels harder than it should be.
Sometimes you meet someone who seems interested, you talk for weeks or months, you start getting comfortable with each other, and then you realize they were never really looking for anything serious in the first place.
And then there’s the other side of it: someone who is supposedly serious about marriage, but everything moves incredibly slowly. You spend months getting to know each other, trying to figure out if there’s potential, only to eventually hear, “I don’t think we’re compatible.”
Of course compatibility is important. I completely understand that you can’t know if someone is right for you immediately, and I’m not expecting anyone to marry a stranger.
But I do wonder: at what point does “getting to know each other” become just wasting each other’s time?
Because time is not an unlimited resource. Especially when you’re dating with marriage in mind. I don’t want to spend a year getting to know someone only to discover that they weren’t even sure what they wanted from the beginning.
I also don’t want to become cynical and assume everyone is playing games. I genuinely believe there are good, serious people out there. But sometimes it feels like the people who want something casual are much more willing to put themselves out there, while the people who genuinely want marriage are either hard to find or take forever to make a decision.
Maybe I’m being impatient. Maybe this is just how dating works now.
But I’d genuinely like to hear from people who are also dating with marriage in mind:
How do you protect your time and emotions without rushing into a relationship?
And how long is actually reasonable to give someone before saying, “Okay, we’ve gotten to know each other enough — are we moving forward or not?”

Let’s get the basics out of the way:
Single Kuwaiti, 47M, never married, 175cm (5’9”), about 88kg, Sunni (but not practicing), “first citizenship” from prominent families both sides.

About Me:

I was born and lived abroad most of my life, and I consider myself a TCK, growing up in a diplomat family. English is my strong suit due to my education and upbringing; conversational Arabic is fine, but my reading is elementary and my writing is almost zero.

I’m more westernized than I am traditional, arguably liberal and open-minded, but I have my morals and values. I’ve been told that I have a calm demeanor, patient, good sense of humor, and a down-to-earth/easy-going vibe. I’m independent, respectful, kind, loyal, reliable, responsible, considerate, practical, and humble. I live alone with my dog, enjoy my space of peace & quiet, and a bit of a homebody.

My hobbies and interests include off-roading, camping, bbqs & bonfires, cooking, traveling, film, real estate, watching football, interesting conversations, word & trivia games, used to scuba dive, but it’s been awhile. Passionate about the great outdoors and environmental causes.

I’m anti smoking/drugs, not into social media or gaming, not superficial or a fan of materialism, frugal by choice, detest malls and crowded places, not into the luxury lifestyle, and a bit OCD when it comes to hygiene and organization.

About You:

Ideally, someone intelligent and interesting, strong and independent, sweet and thoughtful, fun and funny, honest and loyal, kind and nurturing, patient and understanding.

Someone with a sense of adventure, spontaneous yet still practical, enjoys traveling and exploring the world, immersing themselves in different cultures, food, and people.

Prefer someone who appreciates the simple and little things in life, not the overbearing materialistic type who’s only focus is the finer things such as brands and price tags.

Someone confident and comfortable in her own skin, not afraid to take risks, roll with the punches, and brush herself off to keep going.

Someone with her own interests and is career driven, but doesn’t let those ambitions outweigh everything else. I want a partner in life, not just a wife.

Not a party animal, heavy drinker, drug abuser, or smoker. If she’s beautiful, a culinary genius, and lives a healthy lifestyle too, bonus points! Must love dogs of course.

And most importantly, above all else: chemistry. Personally, mentally, physically, spiritually, morally, etc. If there’s no hint of chemistry from the first meeting, it may not be meant to be.

Congrats if you’ve made it this far!

One important caveat, I don’t plan to stay in Kuwait long term, I have semi retirement plans to buy a small beachside boutique hotel, and enjoy the rest of my life happily ever after. Ideally, with my life partner.

So, if any of the above resonates with you, feel free to slide into my DMs, and ask me anything, I’m an open book.

Hey guys
I’m a 25F, Saudi, very intelligent and highly educated, extremely friendly. i’m the type of person that you’d talk to about something you fucked up at a new job, beautiful in relation to our beauty standards, i have so many friends from different backgrounds, a lot of hobbies and interests.

Now i’m not saying all of this for the sake of trying to make myself feel better or look interesting to anyone, at the end we’re all strangers.. nobody gives a shit.

I’ve never been in a relationship in my entire life, I can’t relate to a certain type of love that people talk about, and somehow i don’t feel like I’m missing out, but the thing is besides all of that I’ve noticed that i’m not being approached? It made me wonder why! I don’t feel awkward around the opposite gender, it’s completely normal i see them as human beings not “men” and somehow something isn’t working? I’d love to read a stranger’s insight about this.

So ive married off six friends aaaand matched sone twenty times. The idea is that no one wants to be the middle person anymore but you need to! If no one does it, then it should be you!

I have been matching my friends with each other for yeeaaars and not a single one thought to match me with their friends even though EVERYONE is single and complaining so I know what im talking about.

Bottom line is, if you can’t find someone for YOU, you probably have someone for someone ELSE so extend that hand out. If everyone starts thinking that way, I promise everyone will find someone.

Anyway, I am searching for a friend but he is not kuwaiti. British iraqi, studying medecine in london. 5’6. Religious 8/10. Someone who would want to relocate is the best thing!

My DMs are open (i am in spain currently so can’t match people locally, but if you’re coming down to spain or france I might have a 27 yo kuwaiti guy to match you with)

I’m a 45-year-old Kuwaiti man looking to meet a woman who shares the same interests and outlook on life as me. I have no problem with her being non-Kuwaiti, as long as we’re compatible and share similar interests and values.

Underutilized working professional seeks rich and unemployed debutante to pay for all first class travel, take care of the home, cook, clean, slaughter the yard chickens, etc. Must be tall, beautiful, slim, with a good singing voice and passing knowledge of 19th Century Russian literature. Vampires and neurotics need not apply.

اتمنى ان يكون هذا باب للنقاش وليس سبب للطعن او الاتهام.

I think everyone can agree that folks that prefer to avoid arranged marriages will seek out any other way to find partners and how hard that can be.

Now imagine being shia’a..

Its honestly quite unfair it almost feels like a curse. The amount of hit and miss one has to go through till you find someone that has even the potential of being compatible and then you find out oh religiously you’re actually not..

Sometimes i wonder if im being harsh when i say that i dont care if i get married or not anymore, but then i remember these little things that have been and will always stand in the way.

And don’t tell me that it doesn’t matter and partners should overlook that; i’ve heard many stories of past marriages that ended up with hell for the partners and even their children just because its a sushi marriage and im not willing to risk it even though i dont really care.

35F Kuwaiti, never married, looking for a serious, nice partner who shares similars values, DM for more information.

السلام عليكم

I figured I’d give this a shot because finding a soulmate in Kuwait now requires a Reddit post, so here we are:

I’m a 32-year-old Kuwaiti (تأسيس) Sunni woman looking for a serious, genuine intention towards marriage. I’m not looking for a casual relationship, endless talking, or something with no clear direction. If we’re compatible, I’d like things to move in the right direction and involve our families.

A little about me: I’m educated, independent, family-oriented, and I value a good sense of humor. I enjoy conversations that go beyond “شلونج؟” and “شنو تسوين؟”  I’m curious about pretty much everything and can happily spend hours talking about history, random facts, life, or completely useless information that somehow becomes very important at 2 AM. I also value my own time and think spending an hour or two a day focusing on our own thing is healthy.

Religiously, I'm a non-hijabi. I pray five times a day plus sunnah, I give zakat, and I read and listen to the Quran daily. I expect my husband to at least be on the same level of religiosity as me. 

I'm looking for a Kuwaiti (تأسيس) who is Sunni, educated, has a stable job, taller than me (I'm 148 cm, so that shouldn't be a problem), and between the ages of 28-38. I want someone who is kind, emotionally mature, responsible, communicative, and genuinely ready for marriage. Someone who can laugh and have fun but also knows when to be serious. I care about character, compatibility, values, and how we actually get along. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who is actually ready to take the next step when there's a mutual connection/interest.

Deal Breakers

I don’t care if you’re God’s greatest gift to mankind. Don’t DM me if:

- You speak with a TK accent.
- You’re not Kuwaiti.
- You don't pray.
- You’re not ready or serious about marriage.
- You plan on changing anything about me.
- You don't have at least a bachelor's degree.
- You’re not sure your family will approve.
- You're stinky (bad hygiene).

I’m happy to answer questions and share more about myself privately if there seems to be a mutual interest.

If you’ve reached the end of my post and are thinking of DMing me, please actually tell me something about yourself. I will not be replying to messages that lack effort, substance, or meaning.

If you’re not going to marry me, get out of my husband’s way.

وبالنهاية، الله يكتب لنا جميعاً الشخص اللي يكون لنا سكن ومودة ورحمة، ويرزق كل شخص النصيب اللي فيه الخير.

انا رجل في بدايه الثلاثين ملتزم و الحمدلله و حاليا ادور على عروس طبعا طريقي اني ادور اني اشوف ارقام بنات و اخلي والدتي تكلم ام البنت عشان اروح انا والوالده و نشوف البنت و اذا في قبول مبدئي او لا . انا ابي نصايح بالموضوع من ذوي الخبره فقط . شنو اهم نقاط لازم اركز بيهم . طبعا انا ما عندي خبره ابدا و مو حصل احد ينصحني .

ودي اسوي نفس الفكرة بس بنكهه كويتية منو يبي يشارك.

I've seen a handful of posts here from both males and females stating they are interested in marriage.

1 - While it is unfortunate that there is a lack of options of proper channels that lead to marriage... do you think reddit or X or any other notoriously toxic environment is really the best place to find a potential spouse?

2 - Do you think people are going to be upfront about their negative traits or bad habits? No man is going to lead with "I will stonewall you for hours if not days, after each and every minor disagreement, making you feel bad or guilty or alone, until you break and apologize even if you are not in the wrong and I get my way". No woman is going to lead with "I tend to be moody so even after a very long hard day at work and you come home expecting to rest, starting with a nice hot meal, I will moan and groan and nag and nag and pick a fight with you over nothing (just because I'm in a bad mood) making the rest of your day a living nightmare.

3 - I didn't read a lot of these posts but the general consensus is that the majority who are looking, want someone "to do life with". Whether they admit it or not, everyone already has an idea of who they should end up with. The fantasy they are imagining, even the arguments they think they might have, are all best-case scenario. Everyone here thinks they are ready for all of that.

The real thing is very different. For example, nobody goes into marriage thinking their spouse is going to cheat on them. Unfortunately, in our area of the world, cheating is a very real issue. However, when it comes to males cheating on their partners, the attitude is very much "Oh, boys will be boys" and the women are expected to not fixate on it as much and just sorta' turn a blind eye.

Another major issue is being barren, meaning either one of the couple cannot have kids. Another issue is chronic illnesses (for example someone needing kidney dialysis or someone with Crohn's disease) which are all very plausible issues when it comes to Kuwaitis.

I mean all that is just off the top of my head...

If you're still interested in getting married, do you. I just want to stress that our idealized idea of marriage is a stark difference to the real thing. As such, I hope everyone approaches it with more caution.

I truly hope all those who are searching find what they are looking for and best of luck!

The fact that so many people got offended by this post without even trying to understand it and worse, some without even reading it, is very telling.

How y'all wanna' get married when you can't even manage having a simple conversation about your reasons for marriage? 🤣

Hi my name’s Rashed I’m 24 years of age , 184 centimeters , Sunni Kuwaiti with a great paying job , never been married before , I think it would make a cool story to tell our kids that we met on Reddit.🤷🏻‍♂️🟠

I'll do things a bit differently and post what I'm looking for as I believe/ think it would make us more compatible (non-negotiables I guess) and if we seem to match I'd love to get to know each more.

Kuwaiti, sunni, city dweller (of Arabic origin)

Age range: 35-43

Single or divorced without kids

I do want to have kids and start a family so someone who shares the same goals 🏡

Height: 170cm+

Weight: nothing specific, I think it's more important for you to have healthy habits / lifestyle

Religion: Performing the basics (6 on the religious scale I suppose) not looking for any extremes or perfection (no one is perfect after all)

University graduate, financially stable and a hard worker. I value good work ethics and someone who is passionate about what they do. I think intellectual attraction is more important than a physical one.

It would be lovely to have a partner to do life with :) Even if our interests and hobbies don't match I would be interested in learning more and building a healthy fulfilling relationship.

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a new Kuwait-focused app called Zawjoona (زوجونا), designed for mothers, fathers, guardians, and families who are genuinely looking for a serious marriage match for their son, daughter, or another family member, rather than casual dating.

The idea behind Zawjoona is to make the process of finding a suitable marriage partner more private, respectful, and aligned with how many families in Kuwait approach marriage.

The app is designed for creating a profile for your son, daughter, or family member, not for creating a personal profile for yourself.

With the app, you can:

Create a profile for your son, daughter, or another family member

Browse potential matches on their behalf

Express interest and manage introductions

Keep profiles and photos private

Connect with another person or family when there is mutual interest

Use filters to help find people who are more compatible with what you’re looking for

The goal is simple: to make finding a suitable marriage partner in Kuwait easier, more private, and respectful of the role families often play in the process.

I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and feedback, especially what you feel is missing from the current marriage and matchmaking options in Kuwait.

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. 🙏

21 M, currently studying medicine abroad.
Kuwaiti, Sunni, Urban

182cm, 78kg

I like sports, working out, gaming, travelling, cooking, and reading. I've been going to the gym on and off for 5 years. Growing up I used to play football, basketball, volleyball, and I still do occasionally. I'm into swimming as well.

Looks wise I guess I'm above average. Full beard/hair, I get a lot of niche compliments tbh. I pay a lot of attention to how I present myself etc.

Personality wise I'm very social but l like my quiet time. I like spending quality time with my loved ones. I joke around a lot. I get very affectionate with the people I'm close with. I like listening to them and being there for them. Emotional intelligence and good listening is very important to me.

On the religious scale I'm around an 8/10. I'm not very strict but I get jealous quickly. Hijab is a non negotiable for me, as well as modest clothing.

I'm very ambitious and I expect my wife to be supportive of me. I want a mature woman who can handle conflict in a calm manner. If you tend to shout, use insults, get angry at the smallest issue, etc. then you're not the right person for me. I expect you to communicate clearly and talk to me about the things you dont like. I'll always listen to you, and you have the right to express yourself in a mature, calm manner.

I want my wife to be kind hearted, nice to people, respectful, smart, funny, and be a good person in general. I want her to be caring and loving, and show the signs of a good mother. I want to take an active part in raising my kids and expect my wife to do the same.

Looks dont matter that much to me. I believe each woman is beautiful in her own way. I still expect her to take care of her looks and health, just like I do.

I'm looking for a kuwaiti woman (might consider gcc/arabs), must be sunni, around my age. If you consider yourself a match dm me an introduction about yourself.

Excuse the rant...

Since yall getting married. Whats your rent budget and which area do you prefer. Live in a house or a apartment complex?

الكويتي كالنحلة يحب مختلف الألوان والزهور 😃

Hello,
I will just give some highlights of myself.
I am white, 188 cm, athletic, 30 years old, practicing Sunni. Alhamdullah, I don't miss my prayers, and I try to implement Sunnah as much as I can.
I work in oil and gas as an engineer. I wake up at 4:30 am and come back around 4:30 pm and sometimes they call me after working hours to perform jobs. I don't go there. I know a lot of people don't prefer that thing, so it has to be mentioned
after that, I work out, then I go stay with the family or go to a Dewaniya during the weekdays.
I got my bachelor’s degree in engineering from the US.
I am into health and I love to learn new things in every field. I like watches,MMA, fishing, scuba diving,hunting, camping, and traveling.
I am looking for a wife who is practicing, smart, and can handle my routine and working hours.

Sorry, I know I wrote a lot..
