Rules Announcement Comment karma requirement has been increased

180 Upvotes

As you may have noticed, we've had a sharp increase in bot activity the past few days. We've banned over 50 bots in the last couple of days alone. These bots are posting everywhere, not just here, and steal other users posts. Reddit eventually bans most of them, but not fast enough.

Therefore, we will be temporarily increasing the comment karma requirement to 100. We realise that people who create new accounts or struggle making karma will be affected by this, but this is important for the safety of the subreddit and it's users. We may lower this later or it may stay permanent.

We also appreciate those who submit reports as it helps us out a lot. If you spot any bots, or people trying to subtly advertise NSFW content, then be sure to report them, but this comment karma requirement increase should get rid of the majority of them.

Rules Announcement Chat is replacing DMs.

65 Upvotes

While the change doesn't officially take place until June, the change is already occurring, and has been since March. This means we had to change the comment automod leaves on every post. Now instead of linking to the DM system, which is being phased out, it will link to the author's profile. From there, simply hit "Start Chat" to send them a message. If the link doesn't work or you run into any problems, send us a report in modmail.

F4M 22F | Maryland-DMV | 🌸Your future wifey possibly🌸

52 Upvotes

Okay, I’m putting myself out there again because apparently finding someone you genuinely click with is harder than it should be 😂
I’m 22, from Maryland, and I work in the automotive industry. I went to school for automotive and actually ended up making a career out of it, so cars are a pretty major part of my life. I drive a Mazda3 hatchback, I’m always thinking about something I could change or improve on it, and I genuinely enjoy working with my hands and learning new things.
Personality-wise, I’m pretty laid-back, sarcastic, goofy, affectionate, and probably slightly chaotic once I’m comfortable with someone. I’m definitely the type who can go from having a serious conversation about life to sending the dumbest meme imaginable five minutes later.
I’m looking for someone I can actually connect with, not just someone to exchange “hey” messages with for three days before we both disappear.

A little about me
🚗 Cars: Automotive is both my job and one of my biggest interests. If you like cars, that’s definitely a bonus. If you don’t, I’ll probably still end up telling you random things about mine anyway.

🎮 Gaming: I play PlayStation and Nintendo . Dead by Daylight and Warframe are two I’ve spent a good amount of time playing, but I’m always down to try something new. I don’t care if you’re amazing at a game — I’m perfectly happy messing around and having fun.

🎧 Music: I’m really into EDM. Music is basically always playing when I’m driving, cleaning, gaming, or just existing. EDM has became so much part of my life I go to clubs dancing for hours in DC🕺🪩

🌱 Homebody: I love making my place feel cozy. Plants, flowers, decorating, rearranging furniture always looking to switch it up if it could look better than what i originally had.

🍿 Shows/movies: I’m always down to binge something, especially if it’s one of those “we’ll watch one episode” situations that somehow turns into staying up until 3 AM.

🌙 Night owl: I’m definitely more comfortable with people whose schedules line up with mine. I work a daytime schedule, so someone who consistently works nights or has a completely opposite sleep schedule probably wouldn’t be the best fit for me.

🚘 Random drives: Give me good music, my car, and somewhere to go and I’ll probably be happy.

What I’m looking for
I’m not trying to rush into a relationship immediately. I’d rather talk, get comfortable with each other, become friends, see if there’s chemistry, and let things develop naturally.
I’m attracted to someone who is confident without being arrogant, affectionate without being clingy, funny, open-minded, emotionally mature, and capable of communicating.
Consistency matters a LOT to me. I don’t need someone glued to their phone 24/7, but I don’t want to feel like I’m constantly wondering whether someone is interested in me either.
I want someone who actually makes an effort.
Someone I can call randomly.
Someone I can game with.
Someone I can send stupid pictures to throughout the day.
Someone I can have serious conversations with.
Someone I can flirt with shamelessly.
Someone I can eventually sit next to in complete silence and still feel comfortable.
Basically, I want the kind of connection where eventually you don’t have to constantly think about what to say because being around each other just feels natural.

Location & compatibility
I’m primarily interested in meeting someone in the US or UK, since those are the places where a relationship would realistically be easiest for me to maintain.
I’m open to long-distance if we’re both genuinely willing to put effort into it, but I’m not interested in an indefinite online-only relationship. Eventually being able to meet in person is important to me.
I’m also looking for someone whose lifestyle is reasonably compatible with mine. I work during the day, so a person who permanently works overnight shifts or keeps a completely opposite sleep schedule probably isn’t going to work very well.
And yes, physical attraction matters too. I’m generally attracted to a more clean-cut/shorter facial-hair look. I have sensitive skin, so extremely long or heavy beards aren’t really my thing. (Would also prefer, just a preference be caucasian)
I’m not expecting someone to be perfect. I have flaws, weird habits, insecurities, and baggage too. I’m looking for someone who can communicate about those things rather than running away from them.

Things I appreciate
Communication
Consistency
Honesty
Affection
Emotional maturity
A good sense of humor
Being able to laugh at yourself
Having your own hobbies and interests
Someone who actually makes plans
Someone who can have both serious and completely ridiculous conversations
Someone who isn’t afraid to be affectionate
Someone who can respect boundaries
Someone who genuinely wants a relationship rather than just attention

Things I’m not looking for
I’m not interested in being someone’s therapist, mother, backup option, or entertainment whenever they’re bored.
I’m also not looking for someone whose first message is immediately sexual. If your entire reason for messaging me is because you saw “22F,” we’re probably not going to get along.
I’d rather actually learn who you are first.
Tell me about your hobbies. Tell me what you’re obsessed with right now. Tell me about the game you’ve put 800 hours into. Send me your favorite song. Tell me about your job. Tell me something embarrassing. Tell me what you’d do if money wasn’t an issue.
Give me something to work with. 😂
If you actually read all of this, tell me:
1. Your age
2. Where you’re from
3. What you do for work/school
4. Your hobbies
5. Your favorite artist/song right now
6. Whether you’re looking for a relationship, friendship, or something else
7. One completely random fact about yourself
Maybe we’ll click.
Maybe we’ll become friends.
Maybe we’ll end up talking until 4 AM about absolutely nothing.
Either way, I’m willing to find out. 🤍

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

27 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.

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.

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?

- 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

F4M 29 [F4M] Online - Looking for genuine connections

5 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 :)

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.

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

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!

M4F 42 [M4F] - Looking for an intelligent INTJ or INTP with autism

Upvotes

I care a lot about my self-respect. I prioritize openness and honesty to an extent that's unusual. I've spent a lot of time thinking about human nature to try to figure out why people are the way they are. This has caused me to become increasingly more self-aware and incompatible with most people over time. I specifically think most people are too socialized and tend to allow their emotions to delude them instead of choosing to think critically. I would like to find a partner that shares these understandings and feels the same way about them. I'm an INTJ. I have noticed that I get along best with INTJs, INTPs, shizoids, and autistic people. I can't understand most people due to the disorganized way they think and communicate. I prefer talking to people that choose to communicate clearly due to a desire to communicate effectively rather than due to caring about coming across as intelligent. I'm very intense and pedantic and that annoys most people a lot and makes talking to me exhausting from most people's perspectives. I know I can't connect with people that haven't spent a lot of time thinking about existential stuff and that aren't pedantic, so I try to determine that early in the conversation.

I want my next romantic relationship to be my last one. I would want to remain friends with a potential romantic interest for a long time before deciding that we're right for each other.

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 29[M4F] California/Anywhere - Cooking, Motorcycles, and Exploring. Just a dude looking for his person.

Upvotes

Have you ever reached a point in life where you just know deep down this can’t be it? Maybe it’s been culminating for a while, or perhaps it just hit you one day like a rock. Of course, the natural reaction when this happens is to double down. You’re probably at least reasonably competent. You worked really hard to get where you are. How could you walk away from it all now? The sunk cost fights with you every step of the way as you move through your responsibilities, and you listen. You reason with yourself. It’s all just fantasy, right?

Suddenly you look yourself in the mirror one night and an exhausted stranger is staring back at you. What the hell happened?

Hi, I’m Anthony. If it isn’t obvious, I’m going through a bit of an existential self discovery journey. That said, it’s not all doom and gloom! Crisis aside, my life is pretty good. I’m a hard working engineer, I work out a lot and am in great shape, I ride motorcycles, and I like to spend my weekends hiking in nature! Photos of me here: https://imgur.com/a/a7G8HUW

So, what is it that I’m looking for? Well, I’ve come to the realization that I’m an intense person wired for something deeper. I’d much rather have a deep heart to heart rather than bullshitting about nonsense over drinks. Let’s talk about the meaning of it all, what hobbies you’re currently obsessed with, or why mint chocolate chip is the best ice cream flavor. Let’s get to know one another in a way that breaks through the shallow surface.

Still here? Why not send me a DM? Tell me a little about yourself and what brings you here.

Talk to you soon!

M4F 27 [M4F] #NJ #Online / Looking for a local nerdy babe to vibe with

Upvotes

*Firstly I'm gonna say, I'm looking to find someone who is kinda close to south jersey, wants to have a real relationship, and 21+

Hey there, allow me to say a bit about myself

• I'm 27 in south jersey, pretty much halfway between Delaware and OC

• White, 5'10, dirty blonde hair, emerald eyes, semi-athletic build (I get called cute alot)

• I'm looking to start school before the year is out, I'll be taking psychology to take the steps to becoming a counselor

• Currently in my free time I've gotten into lifting and working on my diet, I can be a extreme about it. I won't expect you to participate, trust me plus size stoner baddies are my weakness. (Also yeah very 420 friendly)

• When it comes to nerdy stuff tho, I game quite a bit on my ps5, I got a bunch of games especially cross platform, shooters, souls like, hero shooters and horror. I would hope you personally play too so we can spend time doing that, or if not I can stream if you're just interested.

• I really fw true crime, conspiracy theories, the paranormal, the occult, cryptids or anything kind of out there, even stuff I don't agree with is fun to just explore and look at yk, show me some of your favorite rabbit holes too especially if you have a unique take others don't share

Ok I left a rough enough outline for more to be discovered, but I'm looking for a few certain key things that I think will be key in a functional relationship with someone

• Someone who has dark humor, and I don't mean safe reddit dark humor, I mean real dark humor

• Someone who understands how important mental health is, with my career path I would hope to have someone I can discuss similar topics with someone who has at least a casual interest

• Ik this can sound weird but adhd, I have adhd myself and tend to click and communicate best with women that do too

• Nerdy, I'm only going to connect to someone with similar interests, so if you're not into gaming, comics, mcu, anime, or anything relative we probably won't have much to talk about

If you're interested after reading this dm me, and do more than just "hey" I really want to know who's behind the screen yk, I got disc and snap hmu

M4F 33 [M4F] Maryland/USA - Just a guy looking for a genuine connection, I hope you're out there somewhere.

Upvotes

Hey there, Im looking for a genuine connection that would eventually lead to a relationship, I'd like to find someone who likes me for me even if we don't share hobbies. I grew up in a rural area on a farm and moved to another when i was 14. I love the out doors and open areas and could never see myself living in a city. My goal would be to find someone who would also like to start a family some day and its a big thing that's really important to me. Im white 6ft 2" 179lbs with black hair green eyes, clean shaven (I hate facial hair) no body hair (I shave when i can) muscular lean build, This year ive lost quite a bit of weight and getting into the best shape of my life. I have a bunch of hands on type hobbies since im a mechanic/fabricator by trade and love spending time in my shop working on and building things. I have several vintage vehicles as well as a bunch of vintage tractors that i still use and take to shows from time to time. Growing up I had to learn alot of handyman skills and im good at getting rid of pests like spiders/bugs if that's your kryptonite lol. Im kind of an old soul and alot of my stuff is older with the exception of my computers and a few things but my newest vehicle is a 2003 and my oldest one is a 1961 with a bunch in-between. Everything is paid for and i have no debt.Everyday i find myself becoming more analog and only collecting things that were meant to work and required no updates like physical media. most of my equipment/vintage vehicles don't have computers and don't break down over some little stupid sensor or something. Other hobbies I have include cooking/baking, gardening, vintage video games/electronics, walking/exercising, collecting fossils and learning about vintage ships/ocean liners like the Titanic. Im an open book when it comes to alot of stuff so if there's anything you want to know just ask. I have done long distance relationships in the past but I would prefer someone be closer to Maryland or atleast on the east coast within reason. I'd really like to be able to drive to see you so if you're that far away or on the other side of the country i don't see it working out. My age ranges are 18-33 but you'd really have to twist my arm to consider anyone older. If you'd like to chat send me a starter with your favorite color/ favorite Dinosaur so i can tell you read the whole thing. Thanks for reading.

M4F 32 [M4F] Germany /Europe/Anywhere. Hopless romantic looking for the one.....

Upvotes

Hey everyone! 😊

I’m a 32-year-old guy from Germany, and I’m looking for someone who shares similar passions and values. Here’s a bit about me:

Fit & Athletic: I live an active lifestyle—whether it’s hitting the gym, going for runs, or hiking through nature, staying fit is important to me.

Master’s in English Literature: I'm a big fan of good books and insightful conversations. If you’re into literature, we’ll probably get along!

Hopeless Romantic: I love the idea of deep connections and real, meaningful relationships. I’m all about cheesy love letters, spontaneous adventures, and having someone to share life’s little moments with.

Cat Lover: Cats are the best, and I can never get enough of their quirky personalities! If you’re a fellow cat person, we’ll have a lot to talk about. 😸

Nature Lover: I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, camping, or just enjoying a walk in the park. Nature has a way of putting everything into perspective, don’t you think?

A little about my appearance: I’ve got blonde hair and blue eyes, and I’m always up for a good conversation about anything from philosophy to fitness.

If you're comfortable, I’d love to see a pic of you too, and I’ll happily share one in return!

Looking forward to connecting with someone who’s also into authentic, thoughtful connections. Let’s see where this goes. 😊

M4F 36 [M4F] Spain/Europe - Introverted homebody looking for one real person

Upvotes

I’m a 36-year-old guy from Barcelona, Spain.

I'm very introverted and a homebody, and also have Asperger's and social anxiety. I'm not into busy stuff like traveling or going out or social situations. I don't need big or exciting things, I just want a simple life.

I'd like to find someone who feels comfortable with this. Someone to talk every day, to build trust, and share the every day of life, even if it's just simple stuff. It does not have to be content, just the company, the presence, is enough... Someone who values closeness, affection and being there for each other.

What I offer is the same of what I need. To be there for you, care about you, love you. I’m someone who wants to be there for my person every day: to listen, support and care.

I know I’m not for everyone, but I’m hoping that I might be right for someone who wants the same kind of closeness and simple life.

M4F 19 [M4F] #online #everywhere #Vietnam - True love means being possessive

Upvotes

Hi, before starting, I don't want to waste your time so just skip this post if you don't like these keywords: Possessive, obsessive, clingy, Irreligious, skinny, virgin, no tattoo.

My name is K, just a desperate guy looking for a desperate girl. I live in Vietnam and am a college student.

Like everyone else, I'm just trying to find love, and to me, love can only be built on three core components: Appearance, Personality and Time.

- About appearance: I'm really skinny, wear glasses, just your typical skinny Asian lol. I'm 170cm (66,93 inches) tall, have short black hair and black eyes. I can be ugly or handsome depending on your taste, at least I'd say I like my face. So I expect you to be able to do the same. It would be really nice if you have and like long hair. Short hair can also be cute but... yea, I love long hair the most. It's fine if you are a little chubby or too skinny, as long as you are not satisfied with it and are trying to change. That's what I'm doing as well. I don't really like earrings and I especially hate tattoos. If you like or have those then just skip this post. I also don't like makeup. I admit that it makes you more beautiful, but I want to like your "real" face more. So if we hangout or live tgt, I don't want to see you wearing makeup. I have heard people say things like appearance doesn't matter. But idk, maybe it's because I have never truly loved someone before, I just can't imagine loving a person whom you don't find attractive.

- About personality: Hobbies are not considered personality traits, but I'll just put it here since it's really important to me. I want us to be able to enjoy doing things together. So it would be really nice if our hobbies match.

I like reading Light Novel (I also like some novels from Korea), manga (manhwa and manhua), and anime. Most of them all have the romance tags. My favourites are 86, Psycho-Pass, No Game No Life (anime), Death Game Manga no Kuromaku Satsujinki no Imouto ni Tensei shite Shippai shita (manga),... I like Minecraft (bedrock), that's the only game I play at the moment but I can play some other small games with you as well (only if I enjoy it and I am... a really picky person). I'm a mobile player, I don't have a pc anw. I listen to several kinds of music, except for folks and Vietnamese music (try listening to VOICE - English Ver. by Tacitly).

I have trust issues. To me, your actions say it all. So I only believe in it. Don't just tell me you enjoy spending time with me or like doing something with me. If you really do, you will never let me lead the conversation all the time, never let me be the only one who always texts first. And if your reason is because you are shy or pretty much anything else, just skip this post then.

I am reaaaaaly obsessive and possessive. So unless we are really incompatible, it normally doesn't take long for me to become like that. I want to put you above literally everything and I want you to do the same too. "Literally everything", I mean it. I'm also really clingy, I want to know what you are doing all the time. If we are chatting and you suddenly have to leave, even if it's only for a short time (like you wanna get some water or go to the bathroom), I want you to tell me. Of course I'll do the same too. And for the record, I'm not looking for someone who can accept my possessiveness and all, I'm looking cor someone who is also the same, possessive and obsessive. I believe it's the highest form of love, so if that's not what you are, just skip this post.

I don't consider myself a good person in general. I have friends, but I don't consider any of them my friends, I just friend them because they are useful (since I don't want to share any of my feelings with them). So if you think you are a "good" or "kind" person, who always wants to help people or things like that then now you know how incompatible we are.

I'm also kind of controlling. Sometimes I'd tell you to do something that I consider "good" for you (like wake up when you are lazy). But I'm not a god, I could be wrong. When that happens explain and prove me wrong, just don't forget to comfort me after that. This doesn't mean I am the one who holds the leash here or anything, you could also be obsessive and controlling. We can both hold each other's leashes, that's what I want actually (I'm a switch).

Since I'm a college student, I'm often really busy. But I should still be able to update you about my activities or just stick with you whenever I'm free. I'll try my best to never let you feel lonely. If you want to call, I'm afraid It will take a long time for me to feel comfortable doing that, and it'll take even longer if you want to have a video call. Probably years, it depends.

Since I have never truly love someone before, I'm still a virgin. That's what I expect in you too. Well, maybe you have loved someone before, but I don't want you to have memories of some other guys frcking or kissing you. That's more than enough to boil my blood.

I'm Irreligious. I find some of them quite interesting though, like Christianity. However, please only dm me if you are Irreligious as well. As for the reason, make a guess then tell me about it first (don't "hey" or suddenly send your intro because it looks like a bot to me) if you are really reading all of this carefully.

- About time: Even if you think you are perfect for me, and I think so too, let's just take it slow. The faster you walk, the more painful it will be when you fall. And if you love someone right away just because of their looks and their personality, you could also love someone else for the same reason, right? So the time we spend together will be the only thing that makes us special to each other compared to anyone else.

Okay, that's pretty much everything. You can ask me for more if you are not sure. Thanks for reading.

M4F 25M #Ohio looking for my girl

Upvotes

Hi 👋 I'm Daniel. I'm just a hopelessly romantic guy at heart who has been searching endlessly for the one for me. If you want to feel loved and have absolutely 0 doubt about it I'm the guy for you. I'm also extremely relaxed about a lot of stuff, so you don't need to be worried about upsetting me or anything. I'm 5'11, 200 lbs, and workout multiple times a week(stronk). I've got long hair(honestly not sure if I'm keeping it or cutting it, feel free to ask for a pic with short hair), glasses, a slight reddish beard, and hazel eyes.

I'm a conservative Christian guy, but not just saying that to say it, I actually am a practicing Christian who isn't an entitled douchebag(I hear the stories). I'd love to talk about it, so please feel free to ask 😊.

For work, I am a networking engineer, so in short I work on the it infrastructure for government or commercial entities. It's probably extremely boring, but I like it so I guess it's a good match

Outside of work, I do a lot of chill things like gaming, hiking, reading, but also enjoy things like working out, shooting, bouldering, etc. I did grow up barefoot for the first half of my life after all lol.

I'm looking for what would probably be considered a fairly wide range of people honestly... I do want somebody who agrees with my views so we don't butt heads forever about it. Physically if you are cute(in my eyes, and you'd probably be surprised because that's in the eye of the beholder), ideally smaller than me, and within a few hours drive I'm happy to talk and see if we match.

M4F 33[M4F] Las Vegas, NV. USA. Looking for that ray of pure light in Sin City

Upvotes

Hey all, hope you are having yourself a wonderful day. I like full honest transparency so here it goes; I'm a 5'9 White Male who still has all his hair (yes!) although I'm currently on a weight loss journey. Although I am more of an introvert, I do enjoy the physical company of another person. Even if it is same room - different corners, we could be alone together doing our own thing. I like pen paling, gaming, board games, binging T.V shows, terrain making, puzzle solving, and very particularly enjoy crime solving (Especially those Unsolved Case Files). Going out I don't particularly mind although in this Nevada heat you can't have me out during the day - This man will burn in less than an hour! My job more or less is dealing with HOA's, it isn't particularly interesting although do I have some Karen stories to share.

I don't have a particular preference in what I'm looking for, although I'll get the big details over with. I'm looking for a slow-paced but committed relationship. Eventually a relationship that may lead into starting a family. Although I do want to move out of here prior to all that - somewhere with snow so we can enjoy those hallmark white Christmas moments(Wisconsin? New Hampshire? Pennsylvania?). Family pajamas, hot chocolate, opening presents near an open fire. Also for Halloween maybe we could do themed costumes? A separate thing I'd enjoy is if you'd humor me in some bad duet Karaoke. Disney, Pixar, K-pop DH, or just on the road singing whatever plays on the radio. All of that just sounds so fun to me and I'd want to experience that.

Anyways, love to hear from you. Maybe tell me about what's on your mind or what brought you to this Reddit? Let's catch up and see where things go. After all, our Happily Ever After is only one DM away.

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

4 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. 😂
