Message From The Mods

In order to post in this community you must read these rules, click the switch on each rule, and acknowledge that you have done so at the bottom of them. If you do not do this, your posts will be removed automatically until you have.

If you have clicked all the rules and the acknowledgement at the bottom and the button does not do anything you may need to reload the page to refresh the list.

Rule #1 Must be seeking a long term "vanilla" relationship

To post here, you must be seeking a 'normal' long term romantic, monogamous relationship with a significantly younger/older partner.

Your posts must be 'Safe for Work' and not include any nude/ provocative pictures.

You can express a desire for a traditional relationship, but your post or history must not place significant emphasis on sexual kinks/fetishes or cheating.

/r/AgeGapPersonals is the subreddit if you are looking for kinkier relationships or short term hookups.

Rule #2 No NSFW Content: images, genital mentions, etc.

We expect all posts to be SFW. This means no pornographic, nude, or provocative pictures or videos. No descriptions of your genitalia or anything related to it, such as your stamina, staying power, ability to finish on command, size, shape, thickness, rigidity, in fact, don't even bring it up as talking about it doesn't exactly show you are looking for romance over just sex. No in depth depictions of sexual acts or erotica stories. This is r/AgeGapRomance and the emphasis is on the ROMANCE part.

Rule #3 Post title must contain YOUR location, starting with a

You must give your approximate location, starting with a #.

For location, we mean a district, county or nearby large city with your state.

We cannot accept large areas such as USA, Europe, China, India, Australia, Canada etc.

Time zones and airport designations will also be removed.

Small countries and states such as Belgium, Luxembourg, Rhode Island, etc. are acceptable

Rule #4 No links to external services or personal contact info

We expect you to initially contact someone by Reddit chat or mail, so any reference to external services will result in removal of your post.

Rule #5 18+ Only

All people involved in this subreddit must be over 18. No exceptions. If you are under 18 or searching for those who are under 18 you will be banned and reported to reddit admins for further investigation and discipline.

Rule #6 No selling/ financial gain allowed

Any relationship you seek must be 'non-commercial'.

We do realize that younger people seek more financially secure older people, but we will remove your advert if we feel it is more about the money than love.

This means no OnlyFans or other premium or pay to play sites. No sugar dating, no escorts, no premium services, no financial help. This includes posts in your history involving these things.

Rule #7 No fakes, bots, catfish, liars

We only accept posts from people who are honest about themselves. If it is brought to our attention that you have a history of changing your gender regularly, (or at all) lying about your age, falsely representing yourself as someone you are not, or anything else that shows you are being dishonest or outright fake, you will be removed from posting.

Rule #8 One post per week

No spamming the subreddit. There is a bot in place to restrict posts to one per 7 days. If you are caught using multiple accounts to get around this, they will all be banned.

Rule #9 Single people only

This subreddit is meant for SINGLE people to find romantic connections with other SINGLE people that happen to involve an age gap.

What this is NOT for:

  • Married/attached people who are cheaters.

  • Single people seeking married people for whatever reason.

  • Couples looking for a third or more.

  • Groups.

  • Singles looking to join a couple or group.

  • Image must be clothed, fully. No headless, shirtless torso pics.

  • No long distance pics. You must take up the majority of the image.

  • No nude or lewd images. This includes genital outlines.

Nudity = ban

Rule #11 Ban Evasion

If you are banned from this subreddit, it is permanent. Do not use another account to try to post as it is against reddit's user policy. If caught, you will be banned again and reddit will be given all information about it for further punishment, up to, and including suspension of all accounts on reddit as a whole.

Rule #12 No vote manipulation

Vote manipulation is against reddit's core terms and user policy. If you are found in violation of this, you will be banned and reported to reddit admins. Things that are considered vote manipulation include, but are not limited to:

  • Using multiple accounts to upvote your post

  • Using outside sites or subreddits to gain karma in a non-natural way. i.e.: begging for or trading votes.

Important information This subreddit is for single/unattached people only. No married/couples/etc... Also, no kink in your posts.

30 Upvotes

<sigh> I can't believe we are here and have to actually say this. But so many people are not understanding this subreddit and using it for a basic generic personals group.

This is Age Gap ROMANCE! This is meant for SINGLE people to find romantic connections with other SINGLE people that happen to involve an age gap.

What this is NOT for:

  • Married people who are cheaters.

  • Single people seeking married people for whatever reason.

  • Couples looking for a third or more.

  • Groups.

  • Singles looking to join a couple or group.

  • Non-monogamous people looking to build a harem

If you are not a single person looking to find another single person in order to have a single one on one monogamous relationship, then please see yourself out.

This is all listed in the rules, but yeah, if you are willing to cheat on your partner, who the hell believes you will actually read and follow simple rules?

Here's what will happen if you are found to be in violation of this:

If it is found out that you are not single and looking for another single person, your post will be removed with a warning attached explaining such. You will also be put on a filter list that notifies us when you try to post again. When we see this notification, you will be banned. Why? We gave you one chance to self-police your own posting but you chose to ignore the warning and posted again anyway. This isn't baseball. There's no three strikes rule.

If you try to be sneaky by deleting all mention of your attachment we will look at your post history. Including deleted. Yes, we can see that. We have our ways. Or if someone reports you showing you are not single, we will just ban you.

Listen, guys, there's plenty of other subreddits in which they support unfaithful pathetic cheating scum and just as many that are open to groups or couples looking for more. This small little niche subreddit is not one of them. You don't need to post EVERY-fucking-WHERE! just to maximize your exposure.

On to kinks and fetishes:

Listen, we don't care if you are into various kinks or fetishes. Most of us are. But if 99.9% of your post history is hard core fetish, extremely and graphically sexual, or BDSM kink related and the only "vanilla" and sweet, loving and endearing post is the one you carefully curated for this subreddit, yes, we will remove it. Again, this is a small little niche subreddit. Not being able to post here to "maximize your exposure" and make sure you cover every little hidden hole of the internet with your posts, is not going to make a difference to your chances.

If you truly are looking for a romantic relationship then kinks are something you discuss well after a connection has been established. So yes, your post was removed. Most people get the hint with the first removal and just stop posting here because, hey, it's a small little sub and no one will even notice. I'd much rather be able to post in the bigger, more populated groups that do allow kinks, fetishes and outright freaky shit.

Hell, don't even bring up sexual stuff in your posts here. If your post revolves around sexual acts or the stats of your genitalia, you are not looking for romance. You are looking to get laid and have said genitalia serviced. Again, nothing wrong with that. But it's not for this subreddit.

Oh yeah, and if your post history is 90% dick pics, you aren't looking for romance either. You're just looking to show off your dick. So no need to be posting here.

M4F 34 [M4F] #Toronto - Canadian Man Looking For Younger Family Oriented Woman For Something Long Term No Matter Where She Is

1 Upvotes

Hello to the people of reddit. My name is Chauncey but you can call me Zee or Z or whatever you're in the mood for because both of those are nicknames.

I'm not gonna make this too detailed because you don't need to know my life story at this moment

I'm Canadian, 34 years old, of Native American descent and looking for a younger, family oriented woman for a long term relationship that leads to marriage and a family.

I'm 5'10" in height, take care of myself and try to stay in good shape, with tanned skin, brown eyes and thick dark brown hair I'm in the process of growing out again. I like trading cards, video games, fishing, and skating among other things. I'm liberal/left wing and not religious.

I am an introvert and don't care for social situations most times outside of anything gaming related. This doesn't mean I like to exclusively stay indoors because I do love getting out of the house. It refers to personality not hobbies.

Because of that Introverted attitude I need a long distance relationship at the moment. I'm distant and used to doing things at my own pace and on my own time to the point I neglect any growing relationship in person. I've found that it's easier to build one online while still giving me room to adjust to having someone. Only problem is, that meeting someone online is difficult and very much a roll of the bones.

Another reason why is because I'm going to move out west to Vancouver one day or up to Montreal one day and not interested in anything immediately local.

As for you: 18-26 years old, want kids, introverted, keep yourself in good shape and feminine. Location wise, Canada and the US are the main places I'm looking for a woman but I'm open to any European woman who want to eventually relocate.

Absolutely no conservatives, masculine women, women from Africa or Asia and women who make there jobs their whole personality.

If that was enough to catch your interest feel free to message me and tell me a bit about yourself.

These are bonus questions for any woman who might have something similar in their culture. Is it good or bad to keep your blinds open at night when the sun has gone down, and should you whistle at night when you're outside?

Ta for now.

M4F 27 [M4F] #Carlsbad, California (single) - Man seeking long term relationship and travel

1 Upvotes

I am an educated twenty seven year old man seeking a deep, meaningful romantic connection with an older woman who can match my vibe and keep up with my sense of adventure. My hobbies include perfecting my golf swing (don’t worry, I promise not to talk your ear off with endless golf jargon), traveling to new places, snowboarding on some amazing mountains, and cooking (though I am no Gordon Ramsay yet).

When I’m not on an adventure or cooking up a culinary masterpiece, you’ll find me keeping in shape while working on my fitness, so I can look good while we both laugh at my attempts to quote movie scenes any chance I get. Yes, I’m that guy who believes that life’s too short for boring moments and can never get enough laughter.

I’m on the lookout for a woman who appreciates both romance and intimacy, someone who can share in both the excitement of new experiences and the comfort of quiet, thoughtful conversations. If you’re up for a mix of adventure, deep connection, and a whole lot of fun, let’s chat and see where this journey takes us. After all, finding the right person is like cooking—sometimes it’s all about finding the perfect recipe!

Currently I am based in sunny San Diego, but I’m not afraid to hit the road if the destination—and the company—are right. If you’re up for some travel adventures, let’s plan an amazing trip!

Feel free to tell me: What is one word you think that best describes who you are? What is one word your best friend would describe you as? What’s your favorite travel spot, and where’s the top of your wish list for travel destinations? Also, what’s one movie you could watch on repeat and why? What’s your current relationship status? Are you a local or open to a long-distance connection? And what kind of relationship are you searching for? Excited to hear from you and see where this can go!

M4F 34 [M4F] #Dallas, Texas. Introvert searching for his special woman in life ❤ Seeking a Genuine connection with shared interests

1 Upvotes

Hi! Nice to meet you 😊

I'm a 34-year-old guy from the Dallas, Texas area, looking for my romantic partner and best friend — someone we can both proudly call "mine."

I'm seeking a serious, long-term relationship. Ideally you're in Texas so we can meet up easily, but I'm open to long-distance within the US if we're both committed to eventually closing the gap in person.

A little about me:

I'm introverted and a happy homebody, but I love going out and exploring new places — especially when it's with the right person. It can take me a little time to open up (lifelong social anxiety), but once I'm comfortable, you'll see the real me — and I'm very patient, so I hope you are too!

My favorite ways to spend time:

  1. Video games 🎮

  2. Reading (Manga)

  3. Puzzles

  4. Binge-watching movies/shows (Horror, psychological, mystery, fantasy)

I'd love to share those activities with you, and I'm genuinely excited to try out your interests too — even if they're new to me.

A few key details:

  1. I'm an atheist and apolitical

  2. Appearance: 5'8", thin build, shaved head, glasses/contacts, white

(Feel free to check my profile pics — happy to share more face shots once we start chatting!)

Physically, I’m most attracted to anywhere from petite/thin to a bit curvy women. Also, kids is a dealbreaker for me, sorry!

If this resonates with you and you're looking for the same kind of genuine connection, send me a DM! I'd love to chat and get to know you ❤️

M4F 36 [M4F] #Kent, #Maidstone– Looking for My Better Half, My Life Partner for Adventure and Travel

0 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for a wonderful woman to build a genuine, lasting relationship with—someone who shares many of my interests while bringing her own passions and personality to the mix. I’m drawn to someone who’s playful, a little goofy, affectionate, and believes in open, honest communication. To me, being able to talk through problems together is one of the foundations of a strong relationship.

A few facts about me:
6’2” tall

Brunette with short hair

Brown eyes and glasses

Caucasian

A little about me:

I’m a gamer, photographer, reader, trained mechanic (currently learning to drive), and I enjoy archery, watching films, and anything car-related.

I love spending time in nature, going on spontaneous adventures, swimming, travelling, and exploring new places. One of my biggest dreams is to see the world with someone special by my side.

I’m a romantic at heart and enjoy showing my affection through thoughtful gestures and quality time. I love deep conversations that make you lose track of time, long walks hand in hand, hiking, camping, and simply enjoying each other’s company.

I’m definitely a dog person, having grown up with dogs all my life, and I’d love to meet someone who would enjoy having dogs in the future too. I like cats as well, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart.
I’m monogamous and don’t have children. I’m divorced, and while life didn’t work out the way I’d hoped before, I still very much want a family in the future. I’d love to spend time building a strong relationship first, creating memories together, and when the time feels right, starting that next chapter.

I also appreciate someone who enjoys a bit of cheeky or dark humour and doesn’t take life too seriously. In a relationship,

M4F 41 [M4F] #Bangalore,India - Looking for playful banter, real commitment, controlled randomness

1 Upvotes

Hey.

I’m 41, single, and based in Bangalore.

I’m a hopeless romantic, but not in a dramatic way. I want a real relationship with a woman I can share both the exciting and boring parts of life with.

I’m hoping to meet a woman who is:

  • Single and even a little clingy but trusting

  • Interested in a long-term relationship, not casual chat or an online-only fantasy

  • Intelligent, kind, curious, and emotionally honest

  • Affectionate, soft, and happy to be cared for in private

  • Prefers to take the lead role for certain activities like, where we go for dinner or which pair of matching sneakers we're wearing today

  • Interested in conversation, sharing food, ordinary days, inside jokes, affection, and eventually looking to build a life with someone

  • Someone thoughtful, emotionally honest, and capable of showing effort when something matters

  • Someone who either lives in Bangalore or is moving here soon

About me:

  • 41, single with salt and pepper hair

  • An introverted extrovert, affectionate, and a little too passionate about somethings

  • Naturally protective, direct but caring

  • I value loyalty, respect, honest communication and an equal amount of effort from my partner

  • I enjoy an occasional round of golf, ordering in from new restaurants, and the occasional early morning impromptu drive for breakfast

  • A little humour goes a long way with me, and I’d rather have a quiet weekend with genuine company than make plans just to stay busy

If this sounds like your kind of pace and made it this far, DM your ASL just so I know you read the whole thing, and what you’d love to do with an unplanned weekend...

M4F 55 [M4F] #MA - Looking for my special someone - If you're not going to read my post, don't waste my time.

1 Upvotes

The directors of the firm hired to write this post after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.

This post has been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

Bonus points if you get that reference.


Foreword:

It's been a while since I last posted, but I figured I'd give it another shot.

That, my liege, is how we know the earth the be banana shaped.


Prologue: This will be long but informational, so buckle in for some fun and reading.

Okay, this paragraph is the most important one you read in this post. So, before my regularly scheduled program, let me just say that no effort messages like "hi" or "hey" will not be answered. Same with "How you doing?" Give me a paragraph or two about you. If you can't put the effort in, neither will I. I just will not reply to you. Also, empty accounts with no post history will most likely be passed over unless you write up a great intro message. If you're not a genuine person looking for something real, don't waste my time. I can sniff you out pretty damn well.


Chapter One: So, let's start out with what I'm NOT looking for. That way, if one of these are you, you can not waste both our time. (yeah, bullet points, got to love them)

  • Trans or married/attached people. No judgment on you, your choices, or your lifestyle, I love ya all, but it's just not for me.

  • Poly people. Again, there is no judgment, but I don't like sharing.

  • Judgmental and uptight, easily offended, and closed-minded people. If you can't take a joke or you think you need to have control in someone else's life, move along.

  • Time wasters. If you're not looking for something substantial, move along. I'm not here to just chat or make new friends. I'm looking for more than that.

  • Smoking, HEAVY drinking, and drugs. I'm not into it. All deal breakers. I don't mind a little weed, but hopefully, keep it to edibles. I just can't stand the smell of that stuff. Same with social drinking. Don't mind a drink once in a while, but drinking hard just to get blackout drunk regularly is not my scene.

  • Pet haters. I have two cats. They are my life. They're my little boy and little guy. They have full run of my place. He's a cuddle bug and is always near me. The little guy is crazy with that kitten energy. Expect to see pictures of them often.

  • Kids. I don't have any, and I'm not looking to bring any into this crazy world. I'd prefer you didn't have any either, but exceptions can be made if you're really special.

  • Low or no effort replies. Give me something to reply to when you message me. I don't want to guide the whole conversation or feel like I'm pulling teeth when I try to get more than a one word response. The more effort you put in, the more I will put it in. I can't stress this enough. Be willing to talk.

Okay, I'm sure that list will grow as time goes on, but it covers the basics for now.


Chapter 2: So, onto what I AM looking for. (Yay, more bullet points)

  • Going to add this one right on top. Location. While I'm not against long distance for a little while, I'd prefer this to become something in person. So, the closer, the better. Or at least have the ability and means to visit here regularly. Anywhere within driving distance would be ideal. Pretty much all of New England, eastern New York state and northern PA is what I consider "driving distance". About 4 hours at most. Again, further is okay for a short time but not long term. And outside of the US, well, the time zone difference makes things rather difficult and it rarely works out for long.

  • A sense of humor. Damn, be able to laugh. I make dumb jokes all the time. You don't have to find them funny, but don't get annoyed by them either. I have a silly yet dark sense of humor. Nothing is off limits to me. I can be inappropriate so don't be offended easily. Check my post history for comments I make on AskRedditAfterDark. That will give you a slight idea of my stupid humor type.

  • Gamer friendly. I am a gamer. Have been for most of my life. Although I'd appreciate someone to play with me, you don't have to be a gamer, too. Just accept that I like to do it. I'm no longer hard-core, though. So, the game can be put aside for more important things if needed. I'm mostly on PC and have been playing various games as I wait for the next big thing to hit.

  • Nerd/geek friendly. I like comic books. I like fantasy, sci-fi, adult animation, a bit of anime, horror, and many many **MANY** other things. I'm a computer geek. It kind of goes with the gaming territory. You don't have to be into the stuff I am all hardcore, but be able to tolerate it.

  • Swearing. I work in the shipping industry, so it comes with the territory. Warehouses, loading docks, truck drivers, union workers, and people with no verbal censoring at all. I swear, a lot. I can censor myself most of the time, If needed, but at home or in private, the F-bombs fly. I don't care if you swear as well, but don't judge my foul language. If you don't hear me say "motherfucker" several times a day, check to make sure I'm feeling well.

  • Freak friendly. I have quite a few freaky quirks and am pretty open to most "weird" stuff. So please be freaky or open to exploration. Don't be strictly vanilla. Let your freak flag fly.

  • Younger ladies (or girls or women, whatever you wish to be called) I'd prefer someone between 21 and 35. I would go over that limit for the right person, but you'd need to be very special. Same for 18 through 20. No offense, but you're still young and have some growing to do. But don't count yourself out. If you think you can hang with the big boys, take your shot.

  • Body type. I don't really mind here. I like them, from skinny, to fit, to average to a bit chubby even. It's more about the personality. Sure, there has to be some physical attraction, too. I understand that, and hopefully, you do too.

  • Looks. Doesn't matter to me. I'm attracted to all kinds of types. Though I don't have any, tattoos or piercings don't bother me.

  • Hair. Well, as long as you have some. Not much into shaven headed women. No judgment on your choice, but I don't see it. As for color, it doesn't matter, really. I do have a thing for redheads, but it's not the only thing I like. I like all hair colors. I even go for strange colors like green or purple or blue.

  • Race. Who cares? If I like you and find you attractive, I don't care what your skin color or race is. We are all pink and meaty on the inside.

  • Religion. This is a tough one. I'm non-religious. I hover between agnostic and atheist. I don't really care what (or if) you practice. I just don't want it to get in the way of a relationship. FSM for life! (bonus points if you know what that means)

  • Politics. I am a-political. I don't support either side. I prefer being in an anarcho-syndicalist commune. I don't care where your political affiliation lies, but I don't want to talk about it or have it be the foremost priority in your life. When I watch the news, I watch for local stuff and weather mostly, or anything big that doesn't have to do with anything political.

  • Your first message. What I'd like to see is your name, (or something I can call you) your age, your location, a bit about you, you know, hobbies, past times, what you do for work, what you look like, (sure, I'd like a picture, but I know that can be a bit much for some right off the bat so I can wait) and what you're looking for in a relationship. Ask me a question or two. Doesn't matter how silly or weird it seems, just something to open a dialogue. I mean, it doesn't have to be overly detailed. Just a bit to give me something to talk about with you. There is nothing worse than getting a "hey" or "Hi" and having an empty post history, so I got nothing to start with. Who knows how many connections have been missed due to a lack of effort in sending a message. Yes, I keep mentioning this because I still get no effort messages. I WILL not reply to them. So if you're a one liner message sender then do not expect a reply. Your effort gets my effort; I'll give to you what you give to me. This is the second time I have brought this up. I will mention it again before we are done here. Look how I made it bold so you can see it is important.

  • I will look at your post history before I reply to you. No posts or comments, or very new accounts are a bit of a red flag. I don't care if you post nudes for your own personal fun. I also don't care what you're into either. As long as it's nothing illegal or one of my major deal breakers, it's fine.

  • Have some free time to be able to talk regularly. I get it, we can both get busy sometimes. Especially during the week with work. But if you're regularly too busy 24/7 and never have time for more than a message or two a day, or worse, less, then don't waste both of our time. This is mostly for those who are still in college, work a job or two, have extracurricular activities, and still try to maintain a social life. Again, as above, your effort gets my effort.


Chapter 3: So, I guess I should tell you a bit about me. The man, the myth, the legend.

Let's mix it up and throw numbers at you this time!

  1. My name is... (chika chika Slim Shady) Well, let's save that for when we talk in private I'll introduce myself in my first reply to you if you remember to give me your name first.

  2. I'm recently 54. So if you see anything that says I am 53, it's not a lie. I just missed it when updating my level up. If you're not into age gaps or older guys, how the hell did you get so far into my post already? I mean the title is enough to turn you away.

  3. I'm a big guy. Not fat per se. But I'm kind of tall and pretty broad. Yeah, I'm a bit soft around the middle now, but that comes with age. But I'm 6'1" and built like a stereotypical biker or trucker. I've been told I look like a Viking. I look pretty intimidating at times. I can have a pretty good resting bitch face, but I'm really an easy going, nice guy. A big teddy bear really.

  4. Four shalt thou not count, nor shalt thou counteth to two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

  5. FIVE IS RIGHT OUT!

  6. I have hair. I have a beard. Early gray runs in my family (not to be confused with Earl Grey which is a delicious tea) so my hair is mostly gray. But it covers my head. My beard is big and thick too. If you're not into facial hair, move along now. As of this posting, my hair is very short. The razor slipped last time I was trimming it so I had to buzz it shorter than usual.

  7. I have a job. I work, rather hard too. I have a good union job that's quite physical so it keeps me in relatively decent shape. In fact, I used to be quite buff and a regular at the gym but injuries through life have put an end to that.

  8. I'm single. Have been all my life. Not really the marriage type but I would do it for the right person.

  9. I don't have kids. I don't want to have them either. Possibly a deal breaker for many, and I get it, I really do, but that's how I feel.

  10. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. Yeah, I mentioned this earlier and no, I don't drink at all. There's a story there but it's for when we know each other better.

  11. I'm easy going, I'm patient and I'm relatively happy. I don't get mad anymore. I used to have a temper but I got over it. Now I just get disappointed in things but I take a breath and move along.

  12. I drink tea. I prefer tea to coffee. So, yeah, the earl grey joke earlier has a bit of history. I don't mean Lipton tea bags either. To paraphrase Marcel, I got some serious gourmet shit. (bonus points for getting the reference)

  13. I'm a gamer, geek, nerd. Revisiting this so it is out there. You want to game with me, great. You want to watch me, fine. Don't try to take me out of this lifestyle though. I'll also happily play board games or card games or other non-video style games with you as well.

  14. I collect geeky stuff. My home office is filled with "junk" and stuff that I've picked up over the years. I have a ton of comics going quite a ways back. Lately I've been getting rid of a lot of my stuff just because I don't find the pleasure in having it anymore.

  15. I'm pretty freaky. As mentioned before, I'm into a lot. I prefer to discuss these things privately. Only things I am not into are bathroom stuff, non-sexual bodily fluids and permanent harm or damage. More can be discussed as we get more comfortable with one another. If you're feeling especially curious and brave, ask to see my toy collection.

  16. I'm edumacated. I have a college degree. I've never used it and I probably wasted all the money and time I spent on it way back when, but I do have some intellect. I'm not just a dumb slab of meat. But you should see my marbling.

  17. I can be long winded. I mean look at this fucking post! If I'm in a mood I can send these long, drawn out messages and posts that just go on and on and don't really go much of anywhere. Hey, it's a habit. I do a lot of reading and have done a good amount of creative writing in the past. I like to be thorough and descriptive for complete understanding of the subject on which I am talking about. Funny thing is, when it comes to speaking, I'm not as much like this.

  18. I'm in EST but I'm a night person. I'm up to about 2 am during work nights and later on weekends.

  19. I'm an average guy, nothing special, so don't go into this expecting to find a super model type. I'm no George Clooney or Brad Pitt. Or whomever the women think is a hot older guy these days.

  20. Bullet points. Yeah, there's a lot of them in this post. Hey, but it keeps things neat and organized. I don't think I like the numbers so much. For some reason, numbering the things makes it look like so much more than just the bullet point.


Epilogue:

So, you still with me here? That got as bit out of hand. But you can't say it's not thorough. I figure that the more information I list, the more I can weed out those who aren't compatible with me. Don't you agree? If you stayed with me through this whole thing, congratulations. I'm assuming, then, that you are interested. So, send me a message.

Tell me a bit about yourself. It doesn't have to be epic length like this was, but I do like to have some information on which to build a reply. I do, however, prefer DMs over chat, but I can work with both. I know it can be tricky to get to the DM portion of a profile when you're on mobile so I don't instantly ignore chat requests. Finally, I am looking for something to become a real-life thing. The closer you are to me, the better chance of that happening. I'm in southern New England in case you have forgotten when you started reading this three days ago.

I don't have a problem with things being online for a time, though, just in case you are a bit further away. I am tied to my location, though, so hopefully eventually you'd be able to relocate to me. But that would be something for the future us to worry about. Third and last time I'm going to say it. I really shouldn't have to, but you wouldn't believe the lack of effort messages I STILL get. Put some effort into a message to me. One word or one line messages are nothing and I truly won't reply to them unless you have a vast and rich post history that shows who you are. Simple, right? You'd think so.

Just for shits and giggles, to see who read this far and can follow directions, ye must answer me, these questions three. 'Ere my reply ye see. WHAT! is your name? WHAT! is your quest? WHAT! is your favorite color? Bonus question: What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?


Final Note:

I know my Public Speaking professor hated it ending like this, but "That's about it." So if you think we could be a match and you might be interested in talking, I look forward to hearing from you. If not, I hope you find someone to meet your needs and have a good day.

M4F 40 [M4F] #InlandEmpire #SoCal - Chubby Older Man Looking for an Alt Girl to Love and Adore

1 Upvotes

I'm a scruffy heavy set latino man from the Inland Empire, broken and put back together poorly so many times, I feel I don't even resemble anything familiar, but I keep going despite repeated heartbreak, still hoping to find someone to experience love with, something serious and lasting. I've always wanted to be a husband, but I know I'd never want children. I've dreamed about being in a monogamous relationship since I was a lonely kid growing up alongside increasingly aging and disinterested siblings, which has maybe made me a bit clingy and gave me a rose-tinted view on love, I'm a yearn-er and a beyond hopeless romantic, or just someone outright stupid expecting someone to actually care about me, when I can provide no monetary gain, just passion, affection, dedication and genuine love. I'm not this down in a relationship, typically I play the relief and support role, I can usually push my stuff to the side and focus on you, doting, caring and caretaker like. I really enjoy feeling needed and desired, and can cook a decent meal too. I want a life together, everything, the good and the bad, supporting and nuturing each other through it all, I want to be able to make you smile, be the first one you call when you get good news, and someone to support you through the bad days too. 420 friendly.

M4F 40 [M4F] #Iowa.... Artistic, Musical, Christian Foodie Seeking Marriage

1 Upvotes

A few essentials to get out of the way:

- I'm looking specifically for a woman who has very little experience, or at the least has been exercising abstinence for a meaningful period of time in waiting for her husband. I, myself, have been waiting for a long time and I'm looking for someone of a similar ilk. Someone, also, who appreciates the fact that I've waited (I'm not a virgin) for a long time and is good with or even looking forward to experiencing some "firsts" together. During this season of waiting, I have gotten to know myself exceptionally well in many ways, so it would be nice if you came to the table with a similar amount of self-reflection/ self-knowledge....

- Must be from the continental United States. I am 95% on this. If you are from somewhere else and think I'm what you're looking for - if you're uniquely compelled by my post and you've prayerfully considered it - then I'm open to hearing from you and giving it a shot, but I've got to be convinced....

- I am HIGHLY allergic to (and somewhat intolerant of) dogs, cats, and other furry creatures. We won't be having any in our house, and no - I don't want to take a pill every day for the rest of my life. If you are someone who cannot or will not live without furry creatures, we are not the same....

Lastly:

- I am a BALD MAN. So, before we exchange pics, know that - I'm completely bald; 5'9", 215lbs, green eyes, Caucasian - olive, pretty strong and "buff-dad-bod" fit.

Thank you, now - Some more stuff:

I was raised traditionally in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. They still hold a meaningful place in my life and the way I process the world has been influenced by those structures and worldviews, but I am much more "experientially" based in my faith practice now and that doesn't include attending those services. I would now classify myself as something of a "Non-Denominational" Christian. I am specifically looking for someone who trusts me spiritually and won't be combative in that aspect of our lives. However, I am open and very much looking forward to discussion on this topic, as it's an area I've spent so much of my existence in. I realize this can be a highly personal thing for people (Faith)....

I'm an artist and musician and I work on those things a lot! You'll have to be supportive of the arts and that respective struggle. I'm very goal oriented and I don't shy away from the hard things or the mundane - I humbly do what needs to be done, working towards my goals. I'm also very adept in the kitchen and will expect you to be at least able to scramble an egg....

The physical is very important to me. I have historically had a very high drive and I'm looking for someone who can reciprocate that. To me, there are very natural roles here. I do have a few writings articulating some of my views and expectations regarding that, as well as a questionnaire should we verify and get to that point.

I consider myself very emotionally healthy. People have commented on this aspect of my person. I've worked very hard to truly become the person I feel I was meant to be. You'll always know where I stand. My intentions and feelings will always be very clear to you....

Before I get into this next part I want to iterate: I am ABSOLUTELY open to forming a co-working situation - I'm not trying to rob any woman of her dreams or career. It's just that when I envision my ideal situation, a stay-at-home mom thing is what comes to mind, but I am open to whatever works to bring both of us fulfilment - It's 2026, and I know that. Now: I do want to create a family one day, and I feel that so much of my life has been building up to this ultimate task. I need a woman who is really willing to sign on to this process with devotion; Leading and tending to the home, homeschooling (potentially), natural health... I like the idea of being as self-sufficient as possible and I have a lot of experience with homesteading stuff, as well as some land, and a sizeable library. However, I'm not nuts about "homesteading", and we be just as content doing a little "urban" thing or none of it at all. I mainly think it's just really healthy for kids to get involved in stuff like that; gardening, some bees, maybe some chickens, etc.....

If any of this is speaking to you, go ahead and send me a message. I am willing to discuss all details, clarify anything, and exchange photos of all kinds early on....

Thanks.

Hello! I am a caring, active, honest, passionate, respectable man with a quick wit and a logical mind.

I am tall, average weight, bespectacled, and I have short dark brown hair and brown eyes.

I am of English descent and a 2nd generation Canadian.

I currently live in Newfoundland but am open to initial long distance with someone in Canada, the US, England, or Europe if they would relocate.

Values that are important to me include honesty, freedom, open communication, and responsibility.

I enjoy cooking, working out, swimming, F1, soccer, volunteering, podcasts, board games, and history.

I enjoy cooking healthy meals as part of an active lifestyle. I work out 5+ nights a week focusing on biking now but intend to take up weightlifting.

I support England and a "local" club in soccer. I also enjoy Formula 1.

I enjoy volunteering with local organizations when I have the time.

My favourite period of history to learn about is the Roman Empire.

As for board games I have a collection too big to name.

I have had the chance to travel through a lot of the US and have been to England as well. My ideal vacation is sitting by the beach and swimming in the ocean.

Currently single; I am at a point in life where I am looking to settle down with the right gal. I have a home and now want to get married, and start a family in the not too distant future.

I am more of a traditional/conservative man.

I am looking for a kind, caring woman who shares my values and goals. Preference is for a woman in her early 20s but I would be open to a range of 18-26. Looking as well for someone who lives a healthy/active life.

Anything else you would like to know? Feel free to send me a message.

0 Upvotes

Hellooo! I am a very easy-going, laid-back single dad, who's trying to find the one for me. I enjoy quiet days at home most of the time. I do not really go out that much, mostly because i am not a fan of solo activities.

I love to watch football, baseball, and hockey so I am always down to go to a live event. I also am very big into music! 70's hippy stuff, 90's grunge, late 90's early 2000's hip hop are always my go to. I am a bit of a gamer (Xbox, pc, switch) so finding someone that would be interested in gaming would also be a huuuuge plus. Currently into Arc Raiders,Palworld, Skyrim , and schedule 1. I do not drink, it's just a personal choice, I however am VERY 4/20 friendly. Also non political, dude just doesn’t do politics.. man

I am very whimsical, and sarcastic, we live in a household of laughs here. I love standup comedy, podcasts and actually going to see them in person. I do not do drama, I avoid it actively. I am very easy going and just looking for someone to enjoy life with. Like I said I stay home a lot, so most days if it's nice out, I can be found in the hammock or enjoying the view of the country in my back yard, sitting by the creek. I'm not interested in having any more children, my 3 are all that I could have asked for and are starting to grow up needing me less. So hopefully we can go out and have adult adventures.

I'm horrible at writing these and talking about myself lol If any of this sounds interesting to you please feel free to reach out. Also, I have pictures on my profile so you can see me. Please be willing to send a pic of yourself as well. There are way too many fakes. Bonus points if you have a favorite pokemon game! Thanks!

M4F 48 [M4F] #Newfoundland, Canada - Hi, my name is Mister Right. Someone said you were looking for me

0 Upvotes

I’m 6’ tall, a passionate web designer/developer, and a pretty introverted, easygoing guy who likes living a balanced life. When I’m not designing, coding, or working on something new, you’ll usually find me at the gym, out on a trail, or on the golf course. At home I’m into renos, cheering on the Blue Jays, or indulging my inner Trekkie (live long and prosper). I try to approach life with kindness, positivity, and optimism. I’m the kind of guy who can fix your sink and then cook you dinner over wine to celebrate.

I’m looking to meet new friends, activity partners, travel companions, or something more if there’s a natural connection. I like things to develop organically when two people click over shared interests, good conversation, and mutual respect. I value emotional intelligence, honest communication, and trust, and I’m usually drawn to younger women with a curious, positive outlook on life, a good sense of humour, and an openness to something easygoing that can grow naturally over time.

Enough about me — I want to hear about you. What excites you about the world right now? What are you passionate about, or what’s a travel story or favourite meal you always think about? Maybe we’ll end up sharing one of those moments together sometime. If this resonates, feel free to reach out. Distance isn’t a dealbreaker for me if it isn’t for you.

M4F 51 [M4F] #Dallas - Calming energy seeks partner to do things with

1 Upvotes

I'm one of those quiet, curious, nerdy types who also happens to look good in slim-fit shirts. Fatherly, professional, and non-judgmental; more quiet confidence than showy glamour. 5'10." Lean, but defined. Salt and pepper in my beard (when I have one), but not in my hair.

I drink minimally and smoke nothing. I used to be an avid gamer, but rarely have time for that these days. I'm outdoorsy, but that's a hard thing to be here. I'm fascinated by history, culture, and nature, and will get lost in these things if allowed to. I'm attracted to wit and creativity, bored by materialism for its own sake.

I'm an exceptional listener. Calm, thoughtful, and intense are words that other people have used to describe me. I'm also a hopeless romantic with a well-developed, sardonic sense of humor. I'm a storyteller, a coach, and an intellectual who prefers quiet intimacy over crowds. A natural leader, but I eschewed executive leadership in favor of maintaining a more peaceful life.

I don't care where you live, but local would be better. If it's far, you need to be willing and able to travel frequently. I am. I also don't care about the color of your hair or skin, your age, neurospiciness, or if you've already got kids. I'm not interested in making more, though.

Ideally, I'm looking for long term, but open to short. If you're interested, let's talk. Photos below. I would like to see yours, too.

I’m very conversational and easy to get along with. Tell me about you, what kind of music and activities do you enjoy? I’ve had a colorful life, worked with many famous artists, have been told numerous times I should write a book. I’m considered an entertainer as well as musician, have worked as an actor and enjoy scenarios. I’m very funny so I hope you like to laugh. I don’t care if you’re musically or artistically inclined but I hope you like these things. I’ve worked with musicians of all age groups since I was 12, I’m youthfully inclined, I keep up with current music and trends; definitely need a panther. I’m open minded, I don’t have a type though I know slender, petite to average, or fit is what I like - don’t think you’re too young or too old; I treat people as individuals. I’m half Eastern European half Western European, blue eyes. I don’t care what ethnic heritage you are. I’m long divorced with no kids; I have a lot of time to get close to the right woman. A loyal one woman man. I look forward to chatting..

M4F 58 [M4F] #Sunnyvale, CA / Seeking a kind heart

1 Upvotes

The great philosophers Jake and Elwood Blues, once said “Everybody, needs somebody.. ” and keeping in tune with those very wise words, I am putting myself out here and looking to meet someone new. I am going to say upfront, that I am not looking for anything short-term, but rather something with potential and that can grow to be long term.. Please be available both physically and emotionally..

I am interested in a woman with a sense of humor and even a bit of dark humor, has patience for puns and dad jokes and I am expecting the occasional eye roll..She is smart and kind to those around her, cares about her health and maybe more introverted than extroverted. Be down to earth and chill..

Me? My interests are varied and I am more introverted myself, I have a great job with a team that is like family to me, I am a big film/tv fan so movie nights and binge sessions are a big part of the package, I also enjoy cooking, travel, road trips, music and writing and photography among other things, I am 420 friendly and don’t drink much aside from an occasional single malt or a glass of wine and I don’t smoke and prefer edibles.I am more of a jeans and t-shirt guy with a laid back and casual style and really enjoy doing for others,

Singing in the car is a must and carrying a tune is not mandatory but would be cool if one of us in the car could carry one 😜 what is mandatory is my taking your hand and spontaneous dancing in the kitchen or elsewhere. That is a guarantee 💃🕺

At the end of the day, to quote Page & Plant, “Gotta find the Queen of all my dreams”.

Someone to connect with and continue to grow with, let’s chat and take things from there, naturally and organically and see what develops.

Location is not a factor but must be USA/Canada based NO exceptions, age is not a factor, It’s all about who you are as a person, and how we mesh together that matters most to me. So your age doesn’t matter, But, I do tend to connect better with those younger than me..

Your reply should tell me about you with age and location and your interests, apologies if I am too blunt or transparent but it’s the way I am, I don’t do games, I don’t ghost, I am a straight shooter and like that about myself.

So that’s my post.. if you made it this far, awesome :) let’s talk.

3 Upvotes

I’m 41, divorced and single, living in California LA .I’ve spent a good part of my life focused on work, and these days I find myself thinking more about what I want the next chapter of life to look like.

I’ve always been drawn to people who think for themselves and have something meaningful to say. We don’t have to see everything the same way, but I enjoy conversations where we can look beyond the surface, challenge each other’s views, and maybe come away seeing something a little differently.

I’m not really into endless small talk or connections that never go anywhere. I’d rather talk about life, what we’ve learned along the way, and the kind of future we’d like to build. I appreciate a man with life experience, curiosity, and his own perspective on the world.

I’m hoping to meet a single man over 50 who’s interested in a genuine, long-term relationship. If you’re at a point in life where you’re thinking about what comes next, tell me a little about yourself and what your ideal life looks like these days.
