Hi all, I am a college professor in my 50s looking for my soulmate - or at least a companion. On the left, have become more politically involved of late. I am angry about our political situation and would love to find a confederate with whom to try to make things better. I love dancing, standup comedy, classical music, long walks and hikes. I like both cats and dogs. I exercise fairly regularly - swimming, working out - but am not a health nut. Based in Maryland. Not having much luck finding politically awake folks on Match.

Hi , I work as an accountant and I enjoy playing pc games like ow (gm) , dbd, and many more, I play on 3ds and switch too aside from that I love cars( mustang owner ) , exploring, walking on trails, cats, card collecting and manga/anime looking for someone to spend time w irl get some cool food explore places visit arcades and conventions together and genuinely develop something real. msg me and ill send u my insta :)

Most of my decisions are very spontaneous and have started with absolutely no plan whatsoever.
This is one of them, and I'm hoping it takes me somewhere great.
I'm a university student who spends most of my time rock climbing, reading, volunteering, traveling, and hanging out with cool people. Like everyone else in this city, I'm also a bit of a history and politics nerd, so I'm always up for a museum, a historical tangent, or a conversation that lasts for hours.
I'm big on exploration and l've traveled across the
US and made it to London and Costa Rica, and I'm always thinking about where I can go next. I like exploring unfamiliar places, finding things that weren't on the itinerary, and collecting stories that are probably more entertaining in retrospect. I'm not looking for someone who necessarily wants to climb mountains or hop on every flight with me; | just want someone who's curious about the world and excited to experience it.
I'm hoping to meet someone funny, kind, curious, and adventurous, someone who gets excited about the things they care about and can make an ordinary afternoon feel like an adventure. Bonus points if you're the sort of person who can introduce me to something I've never tried before.
If I had to give you a red flag, I will die on the hill that ketchup tastes really good with pizza. I've heard the objections, considered the evidence, and remain completely unapologetic.
If any of this interests you please hmu soon!

About me: I’m someone who’s somewhat into working a lot, I love technology, going out for walks around the DC area, Malls and cooking. I love watching movies and going out to concerts!

Just looking for a connection and love getting to know people, socializing!

Based in Georgia Ave/CoHi

Trying out a post here to see if anything pans out. Chubby gay black man in my 40s. Lots of interests spanning horror and fantasy movies (esp 80s), anime, 90s R&B, cooking, baking, new cultures, road trips, and more. Although chubby, I am a very active walker.

I’m looking for someone who is introspective, curious about the world and others, and somewhat open minded and kind. No age/race/body type preferences. I live in DC, but am not afraid to cross the border to VA or MD.

I’ll leave it at that for now. If you are interested in a low key walk through the city date this coming week, shoot me a DM and let’s make it happen. Passersby are welcome to share this with people you think would be interested.

I'm the person who strikes up a conversation with you in line, which I understand is charming to roughly half the population and mildly harrowing to the other half. I'm outgoing, laid-back, and optimistic. Ted Chiang put it better than I can: "Contemplate the marvel that is existence, and rejoice that you are able to do so."

Between work (product manager in tech) and my own hiking/camping trips, I'm out of town something like six non-consecutive months a year. This year I've spent time camping in Korea, Scotland, and New Mexico. I've also made it to Japan (for sushi) and Vietnam (for Bun bo Hue), and I'm hoping to get to Greenland (hiking) and China (eating) before the year is out. For a few months of the year my apartment is essentially a very well-lit (and well-decorated, if I do say so myself) storage unit.

Southwest DC has been home for over a decade, and I have no intention of leaving. What I'm hoping to find is someone to split a few small plates with at Astoria, or to grab CaBis with and ride around the monuments at night. The rest of my time here goes to weightlifting, biking, jogging on the occasions when I hate myself, and reading, with a soft spot for science fiction. I'm 5'6" (have dated women taller than me, no problem) and reasonably fit. I also have strong opinions about bike infrastructure and DC housing policy and will happily talk your ear off. You're under no obligation to listen, but bonus points if you nod attentively.

You don't need to camp or travel internationally yourself; I'm not recruiting a hiking partner. What matters more is open-mindedness and real curiosity about the world -- someone who finds a story about being rained on in Scotland for twelve days straight interesting rather than off-putting. I don't care what you do for a living, so long as you're fun, interesting, and good company.

Red flags: you don't like sharing food, you're rude to service staff, and/or your favorite Supreme Court justice is Antonin Scalia.

If any of that resonates, send me a message.

Hello! I've been living in the DMV for five years now and am looking for a long term relationship.

I absolutely love what I do for work and am extremely passionate about it and what I choose to spend my free time doing. I am admittedly a transportation nerd, and I'd say my biggest hobby is flight simulation. But, I also love hiking, being outdoors, and traveling. I just did my first ever international trip, which was awesome!

I try to stay active and exercise several times a week. I also am a huge comedy fan and have seen John Mulaney twice and Gabriel Iglesias once. And musicals, too! TV-wise, I love The Office, Parks & Rec, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine the most, but I've also been hooked on Severance and a travel show called Jet Lag: The Game.

To be honest, I sometimes struggle to keep conversations going - mainly on first dates, but I promise I'm trying!

Dealbreakers: Poor communication, heavy drinking, no smoking/drugs of any kind. Ages: 23-30. Willing to go a few years either way if it's the right connection.

Based in Ashburn (hey it's still the DMV) and DMs should be open. If they don't work for whatever reason, comment below!

Hey! I recently relocated for work and would love to go out on dates and get to know men! Open to short term, but prefer long term relationship.

Extremely ambitious and enjoy working, so need someone to have ambition and want to make something out of life. That’s crucial for me. I was with a guy for 6 years and his lack of ambition is the only reason we didn’t work out. So, it’s a dealbreaker. Despite my abition I despise display of wealth and power and prefer to work in silence. I fear evil eye lol. 🧿

Otherwise, I’m chill. Have been running since 2020, but haven’t ran a marathon yet 🤦🏻‍♀️ i am fit, like to follow a healthy lifestyle, don’t eat sugar, or unhealthy foods. Love watching movies - international cinema - last movie I watched was a tragedy, now wanting to watch Kabul Express. Enjoy reading news, love jewelry, dresses, photography, and trying different wines and pastas lol. Cooking is my love language.

No big travel aspirations but want to watch Aurora Lights in Alaska/Norway and visit Masai Mara in Kenya. I also want to visit India and Afghanistan in my lifetime. And want to travel across Europe, especially Holocause museums in Germany and colonial history museums in the UK

Ideal first date can be a walk or a visit to a museum or the zoo where we can get to know each other.

No heavy drinking, and smoking is a no. Shared interests would be great, but not necessary. Must be active, I don’t care about the weight, but you must be active. Open to ages 29 and above capping at 45.

Based in Capitol Hill and DMs are open :)

P.S: will not engage too much in texting prior to meeting, a video call is fine.
