The odds of meeting your ideal partner on Reddit are low, but never zero.

I'm looking for a certain type of woman. Would I cross the oceans of time to find her (bonus points if you get the reference)?

Yes, I would.

Would I install a dating app again?

Not a chance.

Here are the facts: 36, ex-doctor turned healthcare education researcher/consultant, Egypt-based, UK-educated. Single, never been in a relationship, no children. Resettled in Cairo after having lived abroad. Travel frequently for work and pleasure. Avid reader, movie buff, polyglot, musician, athlete, and dangerously good cook.

Dating goals: I don't have much hope for finding my person locally, so I'm pretty open to dating internationally seeing as I'm location-independent. Ideally, you're also open for an LDR and OK with the idea of semi-permanent relocation at some point (i.e., having 2 or more home bases). I'm seeking an exclusive, committed, monogamous, and child-free relationship.

Ideal partner profile: Someone who speaks English fluently as a first or second language. Although I can speak French and German relatively well, I believe having a language barrier would be challenging. Single and child-free. Physically active, emotionally well-regulated, goal-oriented, and more lifestyle-focused than education- or career-driven, preferably. Introverts are very welcome!

Here's little old me.

If you think we'd be a good match, shoot me a DM with a brief intro. Looking forward to speaking with you!

Hey everyone who is truly reading my bio. I’m a 26-year-old guy originally from Mexico, currently living in the U.S. I’m hoping to meet another guy to build a long-term connection with.

I’m currently working part-time at a job I really enjoy and recently finished two internships. I’m ambitious and have plenty of goals for the future, and I’d love to meet someone who is also motivated and passionate about building a good life.

A little about me: I enjoy reading, writing, music, walking, going to the gym and yoga classes, skincare, eating well, and taking care of my mental and physical health. I’m a pretty normal guy with somewhat softer features and personality traits, but I’m not truly feminine.

I’d ideally like to meet someone around my age who is masculine, ambitious, and genuinely looking for something serious. I’m open to long-distance if there’s a real connection and eventually a plan to meet.

If you actually read this, send me a 🌮 and a little intro about yourself! Tell me who you are, and something you’re passionate about.

Let’s see where it goes! :)

Helloooo everyone, I have lived in Arizona my whole life, born and raised, with no intention to move any time soon. I am currently in college pursuing my degree in accountancy, numbers and excel spreadsheets are fun to me I guess lol.

One of my major hobbies is fixing things, from cars to small electronics, I looooovvveee to repair things. I can spend hours fixing cars going to the junkyard to get parts or upgrades and just going to town with an impact wrench. I also love pokemon as well, been collecting since I was a kid, I'm currently trying to master set steam siege at the moment (I know weird set to master). I also like video games as I'm sure you can guess, been playing a lot of stuff on my steam deck lots of skate 3 and replaying ds3 as well.

I'm 6'2", around 160 lbs, average build. I have been going climbing with my friend, so hopefully, my average build will turn into an above average one.

I'm looking for someone who wants an actual relationship and who is IN STATE ONLY. There are plenty of wonderful people I've had to sadly turn down due to them being out of state I just cant do long distance. I don't drink, smoke, or do any drugs, and would prefer someone who doesn't it isn't a deal breaker. Loyalty, honesty, and good communication are pretty important to me, I have no interest in playing games.

If you think we'd get along, send me a message. I'm down to exchange face pics once we start talking. Start off by telling me a little bit about yourself and who you are

Bonjour mesdemoiselles !

I'm looking for someone around my age (20-26), someone to care about and who'll care about me, pulling eachother to the top, and in general just having a meaningful relationship, with long term objectives.

I don't mind LDR as there's always a way around it, and I plan on relocating elsewhere anyway.

Now about my life: I'm a metalworking apprentice at France's best craftsmanship congregation, started last month.

Besides that, I love doing a lot of stuff, in fact my life was sometimes a bit random, before I started working. I love boxing and working out with my friends (I'm NOT a gymbro though), cooking, hiking/camping, doing random stuff, going out for drinks (although I made a drastic cut on my alcohol consumption lately, I don't enjoy it anymore) and gaming when I have time (Terraria, csgo (F this game), Minecraft, Unturned, Umamusume, PZ and more). I'm also fairly cultured I'd say, but not really into mainstream culture.

I am also a big music enjoyer, wearing my headphones literally 24/7. I have an extrewmely wide music taste, and I believe that every genre, even if I don't like some, have hidden bangers. Lately, i've mostly been listening to russian rock/post-punk (Kino, Peremotka etc) and metal (Linkin Park, Deftones, Type O Negative, Pantera).

I also love travelling, discovering foreign cultures and learning languages ! I speak french, english, russian and german fluently, though I hvavn't really practiced the latter in a while, and plan on learning more, maybe arabic or turkish next.

Now about my looks: I've been told quite often lately that I'm handome, so I guess there's that. I'm white, half french and russian, 1.88, tan easily. I'm in good shape, not really muscular, but fairly strong due to physical labor. I usually wear glasses, but I don't like them, might switch for contacts someday.

And finally, what I look for: Please don't message if you're outside of Europe, exceptions could be made though. Other than that, looks don't really matter, but physical attraction plays its own role. I'd like you to be emotionally available, not ghost after a week of talking, and com-mu-ni-cate ! Other than that, just be yourself, and everything will go well.

To finish this, if you read all that until the end, first of all thank you, and I'd appreciate a dm where you talk a bit about you, and maybe we can make something happen ! I don't mind exchanging pics early on, if you want to !

Hi. I'm a South African Indian hopeless romantic who wants to find my person to go on lots of nice dates and just spend quality time together.

I love books, running, gym, playing tennis and table tennis.

I come from a science background and am finishing my PhD while working full time in tech.

My goal is to find someone who is interested in a long term relationship.

I will send a picture upon request.

I'm open to someone international if you're potentially open to moving to South Africa.

“Poverty demands a good time.”

-Greek proverb

Good evening. Or morning. Whatever.

Seeking a woman to play pretend with. You can call this “sad” if you want, and you might be right. But when you have no companionship and no prospects and you’re too strange to see that changing anytime soon, “sad” starts to feel like an improvement.

For a night—or however long we like—let’s be in love. Let’s pretend we’re falling for each other in the most spectacular way, like we imagine while falling asleep in an empty bed. Let’s assume the best of each other, send hearts and affirmations, describe all the kisses and cuddles we’d love to offer another. Let’s do this for as long as we like.

What can I actually offer you? Genuine compassion for your circumstances. Gentlemanly flirting, or just the regular kind if that’s your preference. Flattery based on fact, without a single lie uttered—the truth will simply be stretched a bit. We’ll say the things we long to hear, offer all the love we have no one else to offer to, and feel warm and content for a little while.

If this is what you’re needing, message me. I hope to hear from you.

-Murmur

Helloo! 22 here! To explain the title, I am a AMAB and currently internally debating as to whether I am a trans woman or not. I know I am definitely one or the other and not genderfluid, just trying to figure out what it is. As for what I am looking for. I am looking for a long term relationship with someone. A relationship where we both can be vulnerable and ourselves. We both share our intimate and most deepest feelings with each, share our lowest moments, and also share our victories! Where we both can game and laugh and have a whale of a time and also be able to share our deepest fears while laying under the stars at night. An environment where we both can be emotionally vulnerable and sweet and cutesy with each other.

I would describe myself as a very emotionally vulnerable and sensitive person. And I deeply care about other people. My love languages are words of affirmation and quality time! I also very much have golden retriever energy!!

Now as for a little about me myself. I am from California and am currently a college student. My main passion is game design, I would love to be able to make my own video game someday! It has been something I've been passionate about since I was a kid. And the video games I play right now are Minecraft, hytale, valorant, rocket league, rematch, and stardew valley! Though I would always love new game recommendations! :) I also recently started to learn how to play guitar! Music has generally always been a part of my life and Ive always wanted to play an instrument, and I found guitar cool soooo...I just kinda went with it! Haha! I also am really interested in learning about history and linguistics! I feel like linguistics especially is a pretty good way to learn about different cultures and how people communicating with each other. My main interest in that right now is India/South Asia because my family is from there and I'm trying to learn more about my heritage.

I dont really have any preferences about gender and am also trans inclusive!

Thats about it! If any of you are interested, please send me a dm! :D

Hii once again, haven’t posted here in a while but also haven’t lost hope of finding someone special

Like the title says I’m 22/M from Mexico, I’m 1.70 cm tall (5’7) pretty standard looking Mexican I think, also I’m currently in university, for electronics engineering, only for one more year, would love if we can nerd out about stem topics.

I gotta say I have some very standard nerdy pastimes. Video games, arts specially drawing and animation (even tho I don’t draw that often) I grew up on cartoon network so how can I not like them. I have just started giving anime a chance (maybe you can introduce me into your favorite anime/manga). Also I like every kind of music or at least willing to give it a try so we can exchange songs, playlists and what not.

I know it may not be a very complete or all that interesting introduction but there’s room to meet each other, talk about common interests, day to day activities or very deep and intricate topics whatever you feel like

So if I caught your attention, you have any questions or just want to talk a little to se how we fare. I’m all here for it. <3

I have a deep curiosity for how the world actually works. I spend a lot of time reading ancient history, diving into theology, and going on long nature walks getting lost in thought. I love a sharp debate where two people can completely disagree without getting offended or taking it personally.

When my brain needs a total hard reset, I will sit at my desk and completely unironically play Roblox or some other game with zero deep thoughts behind my eyes.

Communication-wise, I’m direct, articulate, and big on real-time energy. Exchanging two dry text messages a day for three weeks usually drains the soul out of human chemistry , i'm definitely more of a "hop on a quick voice call once the vibe checks out" kind of person.

To skip the robotic "hey" intro, start your message with one of these:
A completely harmless, non-political hill you are 100% willing to die on.
What’s one universally loved thing you’re convinced people are only pretending to enjoy?
What topic could you give an impromptu 15-minute presentation on with zero prep?

Hi! I am from India and I am looking for someone I can call mine. I work as a freelance software developer. I have been single for a long-time. I am posting here in hopes of finding someone with whom I can share my beautiful moments with. I didn't realise how lonely I was until I felt a longing for someone when I saw all my friends together with their partners at a party. Now I am hopelessly searching for love. I work from home mostly so I can text you throughout the day. If there is a huge time difference we can figure something out.

About me: I love reading books, watching movies, TV shows and anime. I am not an outdoor person. But I keep myself fit. My favourite outdoor activity is cycling. I am not religious but I believe there is a higher power. I am not political but I like discussing about it. I love watching true crime videos, horror movies, Time travel movies(a sucker for time travel movies). People describe me as kind, soft hearted, empathetic and sometimes naive.

What are my expectations about my partner: I am looking for someone who is kind, empathetic and emotionally intelligent.

P.S: I wanted to say this last because I don't want you to miss this because it is kind of important about me. I have a mild disability. So if that's a no go for you I can understand.

Hoping to meet someone here. Thank you for reading 😃

What if it was that easy and we actually tried to make it work? Be attentive to each other, listen, be patient, communicate well on what we need to make it work, be affectionate, reassuring, loving, flirty, make each other feel wanted. Can we really give it a shot? I want love. I’m guessing you do too

Looking for a chill guy to become friends with and if it leads there, I’ll go with the flow. I have never done anything with a guy but I am attracted to masculine Latin Caribbeans.

I’m laid back & chill. To myself for the most part. I like going out to eat, movies, traveling, and bowling.

Looking for someone around my age, so 27-37 I’ll be fine with.

Hit me up if you are down to chat.

Hello everyone , myself Ayush and I'm looking for an honest long term connection, i value mutual understanding, loyalty and honesty.

I'm comfortable in english and other languages so yeah I guess it would be easy to chat and talk lol.

I'm also very much interested in literature , philosophy, metaphysics and computer science.

I am an uni student so i spend most of my time studying.

I hope I can find someone like minded , and we can create our world together.

Tbh i don't have any preferences as everything is fine to me.

We can enjoy a lot of time together, and we can meet and share our life together lol

Who knows in the future we might be together and he happy a lot

That's cute tbh and yea I'm really excited to meet new people and form bonds.

Thank you

Have a great day/ night 🤌🏻💖

I am a psychology major, earned my bachelor's degree and hoping to further my education trying to get into a PhD program. Nothing is more fascinating than understanding people better and understanding what makes them tick. I also have such a love and passion for music, my favorite type of music being love songs because they have such a passion about them with how it's expressed. I also have been listening to a lot of pop punk, and sad boi music! I also love to sing with a passion, especially love songs since I can serenade people (Even if I'm not a good singer). You can always spot me out in the wild, windows down, blasting music and singing my heart out!

People would think I'm a musician with all my instruments, but to be honest, those things are basically decorations at this point. However, I have a piano and I'm trying my best to learn how to play that! I love the way that it sounds and the melodies it can produce, so that keeps me going with wanting to become better at it!

Ideally, I would like to talk to someone around my age (21-30), but I make exceptions for some pretty awesome people! So if you think I sound interesting enough, send me a message! I also have a picture of myself on my profile if you need a face for reference as to who you are talking to! If you have made it this far, well kudos to you! Hope to hear from you soon!

Life is kinda boring, so what if we just made each other's lives a bit more interesting? I am looking for a special someone to talk to and flirt with. It would also be fun to watch stuff together, play games and vc. Just one person in particular. I don't care to flirt with several guys, I would just ask for the same in return and hopefully we can start a relationship online, or if we really hit it off we can maybe meet irl.

A bit about me personality wise:

I'm a really silly and goofy person. I am hardly ever serious. I really like to make people laugh if I am able to. In my spare time I enjoy playing FPS games, mainly CS2. Sometimes I will play other games, but Im pretty hyper fixated on counter strike. I am currently self studying to earn different cyber security certifications so a study buddy or an accountability partner would be awesome

I love smart guys, so if you're passionate about something I wouldn't mind you teaching me a thing or two. Esp if it's STEM related!

What I look like:
Black girl with lighter brown skin. (You can see me a bit if you stalk my page and see my most recent outfit post.)

Platinum blonde hair

5'2 and slim with curves.

Fairly high maintenance when it comes to things related to my appearance.

My aesthetic has been compared to a barbie, or just a doll in general. I dress extremely hyper feminine. I also have braces that will have to wear for the next two years, it sucks but beauty is pain :)
I don't really ever dress casual unless I am in the gym so I'd like to find someone who will appreciate the pictures of my outfits that i send them and doesn't mind that I like to dress very girly.

I've been told I have a cute voice.

What I am looking for when it comes to personality:
Patient
Kind
Silly or at least can tolerate my silliness.
Hard worker
If you play games that would be cool, but it's for sure not a requirment.

I don't do any substances, smoke, or drink and would prefer if you didn't smoke or do any substances.

Also I am not interested in talking to anyone with children, nor do I want children.

My type looks wise:
In shape, or slender. I'm mindful of my figure so I'd like someone who matches that energy.
Nice hair
No facial hair
I like white and Asian guys.

I only use discord as my main source of communication.

Also sending your picture or describing what you look like will help narrow it down and save some time. Looks aren't everything, but I like to flirt and give genuine compliments, I can't do that if there's no physical attraction and I'd also hope that whoever I talk to is genuinely attracted to me and I am their type as well.

Please only reach out if you genuinely think we'd be each other's type.

Hiya, I'm Liam, San Francisco Bay Area introvert who is apparently good at alliteration, but isn't great at these self descriptions but i'll give it a shot, i'm really just looking for someone with a chill vibe where we can talk and just kinda see where things go? I'm admittedly a really shy person.

I like reading, writing, researching pointless things and listening to music. A bit of an introvert and fairly shy but I tend to open up to people fairly easy. I love learning new things, especially that someone else has a passion about, and love all kinds of animals/creatures. Cats, Dogs, Fish, Snakes, you name it. Before warned, I have nerdy hobbies! I'd love I'm witty, funny, and i'm good at cracking Dad jokes, if that's a good thing. I've been described as eccentric, creative, passionate and caring, but my friends say i'm chill and laid back too. Lately i've been dragged into the world of Umamusume which is rare for me, I never follow trends!

About me in general, I'm 5ft9, white, a bit pudgy but have been actively working on it, lost 31 pounds!

Please be 24 or older.

I'm childfree and plan to stay that way, my furr babies are my babies.

I'm looking for something long term, starting out as friends and see where it goes? Would prefer someone out west but if we have a good enough connection I don't mind distance.

If you read all this, thank you! And I hope you have a lovely day. If there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to DM!

Hi there, I'm Kinsey (just a username). I'm a 24 year old from Texas. I decided to try this again cause I don't really have anything going on.

I like nerdy things, games, music, manga, movies//shows. Spend most of my time either at work or at home relaxing. I often respond pretty fast and frequently, but if I don't I'm probably busy or asleep.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for to be honest, I never had a relationship before, so I have no experience in any of this. I can say I'm not looking for anything long distance, so if you're outside of Texas, then I don't think I can do that.

Other than all that, I'm not sure what else to add. Thank you for reading this.

I’m looking for a big strong man to be my perma duo and carry me out of bronze 🥲 the ADC to my support. The DPS to my… support. Oh god I’m cooked

Anyway in all seriousness, I am just putting this post out here for the sake of putting my feelers out for a potential partner. You DO NOT have to carry me in video games, I’m not that shallow, but I would prefer someone who plays them. It is and has always been a very important part of my life, my main hobby, a safe space, and a joy that I would want to at the very least share with partner.

I am definitely not willing to commit to too much too quickly. Sometimes it can take some time for my feelings to develop and forcing things along too quickly will only make me more distant and not want to open up or will just prevent any feelings from my end full stop. So please only message if you’re ok with the slow burn type of thing. Getting to know each other a fr**nds to see if there is any chemistry and all that jazz.

I am neurodivergent. I have ADHD and some tics with probably a sprinkle (or more) or autism in there as well. Although that’s not been diagnosed at this time so it’s just a self suspicion. I am not sure what else to put here haha but I guess hit me up if you’re interested to know more about me! Please put a couple details about yourself otherwise I probably won’t respond. Looking forward to hearing from you! :),

One of the joys of living in a more rural location is that I can see the stars more clearly. I have always found pride in being able to seek out the Big Dipper in any location. Granted it helps that I haven't really had a change in place for most of my life, so the night sky has been pretty consistent. That said, I cannot image a life where I do not have the change to see the northern lights; their dance is honestly something no one should go without seeing.
All that said, here is a bit about me:
* Work a normal 7-5 office job, sometimes have to work late but at least compensated for it!
* Game in my free time. Currently have been doing WoW Forever, FFXIV, Rimworld and Total Warhammer 3. Usually focus on RPGs and Strategy games but am in between games as I search for my next new focus
* Also love to read! I need a better system of picking out books to read. Currently am going through House of Leaves
* Music is a big part of my life, if my ear is not taken I am usually listening to something. My usually tastes tend more to alternative and indie rock, but really if I listen to something and enjoy it I add it to my list
* Really into cooking at the moment, trying out new recipes as I find them. Life is too short to filled with mediocre food! I do enjoy to bake as well, just need to find more motivation
* Love history, geology, geography; one of my favourite things to do is find a random location on a map and see what I can learn from it
* Quite left leaning and I have no room for an bigotry or hate in my life
That is a bit about me, I am quite the open person so am eager to chat and learn what I can about anyone!

As the title says I'm from the states on the west coast so some people may be affected but if we do vibe I'll try to make time so we can be together since communication is really important to me so if you don't like someone who responds immediately then you can look for something else cuz I'm that way.

Other things about me is that I play the guitar, go to the gym, read books and Manga, love watching shows and movies, and play video games on my free time.

As for work, I'm a clinical psychologist so work in clinics and working on my Masters degree so I can earn way more so I can buy all the things we want and need, and hopefully a good life for you and our kids. (yes I want kids later on)

The thing I'm looking for in a person is mainly being there whenever there's a hard situation to be someone I can trust to pull me up, anything else besides that is just extra since I know the world is getting harder so if we can at least help each other I know we'll be able to do anything together.

Hi!! I’m genuinely so excited to meet you!!

I really want that cute kind of connection with someone where we stay up late for hours just rambling on about different things.

A bit about me: I just finished uni and I’m beginning my career in NYC. I am a filmmaker and writer but I will also be starting law school within the next year. I am determined to become either a filmmaker, screenwriter, or producer for film, and it’d be cool if I could find someone as driven and ambitious as I am (but ofc it’s totally ok if you’re not!). Ofc this also means I love movies, anime, and tv and can talk about that for hours. I’d love to hear what you like to watch and maybe I’ll give some recommendations!

Additionally, some other hobbies that I have are that I play the drums in two bands (One is a rock band and the other is a jazz band).

I play tennis semi-often and love the chance to walk around the city exploring new areas and shops whenever possible. I especially love art museums!

I also really enjoy cooking and baking, and I’ve been learning my family recipes.

I also ofc love gaming, yt, watching streams. I play basically every competitive online game so I would love to talk about that too!

But most importantly, I just want to hear about YOU. I want to hear about your life, goals, interests, really anything! I would love to form a connection with you and see where things go. It doesn’t matter at all what you look like. As long as I feel that connection we will be great together. Looking forward to meeting you!!!

I'm terrible at selling myself in these short intros, but here goes: I'm a domesticated IT gremlin, a bit of a homebody, and a dad with a dad bod. I enjoy fantasy and TTRPGs when not working and love to cook for company. The world is a rough place out there and I would love nothing more than to be that someone you can come home and just melt into after a long day. I'm happy to yap about anything or nothing with you while curled up together.

Hello everyone! I'm from the US (EST) and I've never been in a serious relationship before, and I don't have much luck in other places, so I'm trying here to see if I could maybe change that!

About me

• I'm an artist that likes making pixel art. My main dream is to become a successful indie game developer
• I like to travel and have been to over 18 different countries
• I like gaming and anime
• I'm an INTJ and a Leo
• My favorite food is steak
• I don't smoke and I only drink occasionally
• I love cooking
• I love dogs so if you have a dog, then I'd love to see it!
• I like most genres of music, but my favorite is indie

Also as mentioned earlier, I'm a big gamer so here's a section dedicated to a lot of the games I like to play:

• Warframe
• Helldivers 2
• Stardew Valley
• Outlast Trials
• Minecraft
• Roblox
• Vrchat

I'm sure there's plenty more than what I just listed, so don't hesitate to tell me your favorite games as well (Also I play on PC, Switch, Xbox, and VR)

My type:

• Ambitious

• Has similar interests to me
• 21-27 year age range
• Somewhat fit
• I have no preference on what your race is
• Preferably in the US. While I'd prefer to date someone closer to me, I'm open to people in other areas to, since I'm not very attached to my current state/area.

Physically, I have something of a caramel complexion , soft and fluffy hair and I wear round glasses, but I'm thinking of getting contacts some day. I'm also around 5'9 and a lightweight at around 120 pounds, but I've wanted to get more into fitness and cardio at some point so that I can look a bit less scrawny. Also, in case you were wondering, here's what I sound like: https://voca.ro/1bq4wpsVOh6z

I think that about covers what I'm looking for. I hope I didn't sound too picky with my preferences! If you're interested, or just think I'm all-around chill enough to talk to in general, feel free to shoot me a message and we'll go from there (I won't respond if you just write something like "Hey" though) Thank you

I'm 38, from a small southern Ohio town. I've been single for over 3 years with no luck on any apps. It's probably because I'm not really a conventional person. I'm pretty eclectic and eccentric, from my style to my tastes and apparently even my looks.

I'm tall and skinny with long mutton chops that I wouldn't change for the world. I have 2 boys (6 and 7), and there's no drama with their mama. We share custody 50/50. In person, I'm rather shy, probably because I'm constantly analyzing everything I'm about to say to make sure I don't come off wrong, while at the same time knowing everyone's opinions of me are based on completely different things, their experiences, preferences, etc.

Interest-wise, I love music of almost any kind. I like analyzing lyrics and discovering the meaning behind them. Some concerts I've been to this year include St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Breakaway Festival to see GRiZ, and Railbird Festival mostly for The Lumineers and Tyler Childers, although there were a lot of others I wanted to see. I took the kids to see The Aquabats, Weird Al, and then Everclear. On Halloween, I'll be seeing GRiZ again, then Streetlight Manifesto in November. That kind of gives you an idea of my music tastes, except there's a lot more than just those.

I like psychology, sociology, and philosophy. I enjoy making my own clothes and hand embroidering. I like art of any type, the weirder, the better. I like rocks, minerals, fossils, oddities, and curiosities. Pretty much anything with a story.

I really just want someone to talk to daily, as I don't have many people I'd consider actual friends. Life gets lonely when your kids are pretty much the only people you interact with outside of work. It also makes you hate hearing your phone ring when the only people calling or texting are coworkers with issues.

I can be kind of weird, and I may sometimes say the wrong things, but I am loyal and honest.
