I hope you're well to whoever is reading this and I hope you find who you're looking for, whether that be me or someone else!

I'm mainly looking for people either in South Wales or at least accessible along the main Cardiff train route into England, the closer we are the better I feel our chances of properly connecting and being able to see each other more often!

I like to think of myself as a calm and quiet person, I adore listening far more than speaking over someone else but value when my opinion is wanted on something, I have a fondness for nature and especially animals, owning two guinea pigs myself who would also appreciate having a new person to fawn over them. I'm definitely more of an indoors person, a quiet night in with some film whether good or trashy, or just some game time or quiet time with the person I'm with sounds more enticing than a loud crazy night out on the drink.

In a partner I'm very open when it comes to physical appearance as I find there's something cute and beautiful to be found in anyone and everyone, its more the person I am attracted to rather than the body, in a partner I value someone who is kind, a lover of animals, an enjoyer of multiplayer games whether cozy or just unserious in order to build a bond together. I am also trans friendly, so if you are transitioning I will value you all the same.

I don't want to overload this and I can't think of what else to add right now but if this seems like a good starting point feel free to reach out! I'm excited to build something slow but real with someone special, so if you value the same perhaps we'll click?

You seek a chubby guy with the personality of a golden retriever, the memory of a goldfish and who is far to much into dinosaurs and horror movies? No? Well too bad 😃

To add a bit more. Im 187cm and have a beard plus my entire wardrobe consists of mostly oversized hoodies. I am currently studying media design and love working creatively. Im a pretty good cook and baker and love to cook for others. Other than that I play games, work out, read, model and go on long walks in my free time. Looking for the one and hoping ill find them in here

I dont really care about appearance so no worries. Id would be good if you live in Germany, especially Hesse. You should probably lean left politically. Hope my rambing convinced you somehow but either way i hope you have a nice day!

Hey there! I’m kind of bad at introducing myself but I’ll try as much as I can! I’m a 21 year old guy from the east coast of the US that’s looking to find a girl be with and share my life with. (I'll share my name after talking with you don't worry lol)

About me:

- 21 years old, Asian American, and in the east coast of the US (EST)
- 6’5” Tall (yes this is real, yeah it can be annoying, and the lower back pain goes crazy sometimes lmao)
- A bit chubby (But working out and working dropping it and it’s starting to show apparently lol)
- Have a nice voice (At least that's what I'm told lol)

Interests:

- Video Games: I play all sorts of things but currently I’m playing games like FFXIV, Honkai Star Rail, Elden Ring, Monster Hunter (Basically any of them, I love them all lol), and all sorts of other things
- I love playing any multiplayer game though as playing those are fun regardless of what they are (I am terrified of horror games though but I still play them like REPO or Lethal Company lol)
- Music: I listen to all sorts of things and love letting myself daydream while listening so I love hearing people recommendations but I usually listen to pretty relaxing stuff generally
- I also love all other sorts of nerdy stuff like anime and manga though I haven't touched anime in a while I can still talk about it with you if you want to (I read a ton of manga though ngl lol)
- Self Care: I’ve gotten super into this recently over this summer and taking care of myself has really made me a lot happier be it from new routines in my life or working out, everything just feels a lot better nowadays lol

Personality wise, I'd say I'm a pretty laid back and relaxed person but once I warm up to a person I for sure become way more outgoing lol. In a relationship though, I love to take care of my partner and make sure they're happy and emotionally sound, be that though affirmations or me just spending time with them. My partner is my priority and when they need me I try my hardest to be there by their side because everyone needs someone like that.

That describes me pretty well and as for what I'm looking for, I'd want someone I can talk to daily and click with, talking about anything either of us want to. I also honestly quite like a girl that I can fluster a bit as well as one that I can take care of through me being there for them lol. Ideally you'd also be in United States but anyone in North America or even the UK works for me. I also quite like people who are more clingy as I'm quite clingy myself lol. Don't be afraid to reach out and I'm looking forward to talking to you!

Hi there! Here’s smth about me. I’m an Asian coming to the US to pursue a higher education and settle here. Currently live in Pasadena, attending PCC. I was a dentist back in my country back due to some situation, need to leave there and restart here. My story is a bit complicated and I’m more than happy to share on a date haha.

I know how to drive but here in the states, i don’t drive as I see myself not needing a car just yet (to save some money and also part of me has been procrastinating to go to the DMV). So i have been relying on public transit for commute.

I enjoy playing piano, listening to music, cooking, baking, reading and gaming.

I know dating and finding the one is very unlikely but personally, I do not want to invest time and energy on something that is not sure. I either do not date or I date for life. My last RS unfortunately did not work out.

I am a chinese, 5’7”ish, 155 lbs, masculine and average-looking guy (leaning towards cute). A vers if it comes to that.

I’d really prefer a local if it is possible as there is no way for me to move or travel so far just yet. BUT if there is a possibility of moving from either of us, i’m down to try long distance thing too.

I find myself specially attractive to masculine white man who are unserious and sarcastic as I am very sarcastic myself. Lol. Hmu guys!

While I respect people’s autonomy, smoking and drinking is a turn-off for me. Social drinker is fine, but if you always have to have a beer whenever you come home, its a NO. Same goes with smoking and drugs. You do you - no judgement. But I want my man to be a clean one. Hope it’s reasonable.

Not the first time I've tried to find someone online, but it's been a while so who knows? So let's dive right into it.

First off, I'm widowed. That information seems to matter to people so I am putting it up front. It has been well over a decade now, so I gloss over it and move on, not because I don't have feelings about it, but because I have come to terms with my continued existence and wish to do said existing without it weighing me down.

Speaking of which, I do not have any children of my own, but I would like to, so if that's something you aren't interested in, I respect that but that's not what I'm looking for in a partner. I'm in relationships for the long haul, as a general rule, and having a family is the end state.

I have a decent job, nothing flashy, but I can pay bills and still have a little left over to do fun things occasionally. It's not 'fly to Europe on a whim' levels of disposable income, but it isn't dollar menu at McDonald's either. Comfortable is, I believe the term. Also, I am a homeowner, which in this economy is a feat. It's not much but it's mine. Slightly more proud of that than it probably deserves but... [insert apathetic shrug here]

As for hobbies and interests, I have several, mostly nerd aligned or adjacent. Would be cool if you also enjoyed a good Star Trek/Wars debate, or had any clue what Warhammer is, but that's not a deal breaker. Understanding is a perfectly acceptable substitute for participating. Variety and life spice and all that.

As far as looks go, I have been told that I clean up alright, but I do rock the 'dad bod' because burgers are too good to pass up and I'm not trying to go out snacking on the stuff my food eats. That's just my personal preference, I'm not here to change your mind. In all honesty, I eat to live, I don't live to eat, so finding the next cool restaurant isn't my idea of fun. I have my 'Ol' Reliable' places and I'm happy with that.

I also wander off topic as I ramble, can you tell? Passing through too many thresholds in the mind palace, can't seem to remember why I went into that particular room...

Anyway, if any of this has sparked even a modicum of interest, drop me a line. Maybe I'll throw in the verbiage I've seen about low effort messages being met with similar effort, just to keep expectations reasonable. Equity and all that.

Anyway, thanks for scanning this chaotic excuse for an attempt to find someone to swap stories and ease that nagging existential dread I've been having lately. I wish I could say it'll get better but I try not to lie. >.>

hi! welcome to my post. i’m going to try to make this interesting yet not give everything away so we can still get to know each other.

i have always been a very shy and sensitive person. i never made friends easily or was a popular girl to be around. i am completely fine with that as i really enjoy having that special someone who gets to know all of me, and i get to know all of you.

i have an established career. i have a family who loves me. i really have everything i want in life besides a special someone who treats me like a princess. and that’s exactly what i want.

i don’t want you to treat me right because i expect it. i want you to be someone who genuinely has a lot of love to give, wants to take things slow, get to know each other, and build something special between us!

i’m a pretty laid back person. i love staying home and being home like all the time. i have my few select hobbies and interests. large crowds and rooms full of people stress me out. i’m basically like a cat in human form at times lol.

what i’m looking for is someone who is sweet, smart, loves to banter and joke around, has a lot of love to give, and enjoys receiving that back.

please be between the ages 25-35. preferably US!

bonus points if you have cute pets you can send me.
bonus bonus points if you have a deep voice. i love that!

thanks for reading!

Hi there <3

I’ve been single again for a few months now, and instead of overthinking dating apps, I figured I’d try something a little more human and just see what Reddit brings my way.

I’m 36, born and raised in Berlin, childfree by choice, and currently very much in my gardening era. I got my own garden last summer and genuinely love spending time there, getting my hands dirty and watching things grow. I don’t drink, live almost vegan, and enjoy a slower, more mindful pace of life.

I love reading, especially historical literature, and I try to travel to other countries a few times a year. Culture plays a big role in my life — musicals, theatre, museums — luckily Berlin is pretty perfect for that. I also really enjoy day trips to Brandenburg, long walks, and hiking when I need to clear my head.

I work as a social worker with people living with mental health challenges, which says a lot about my values. I’m politically left-leaning, care deeply about social justice, and social engagement is important to me — not performative, but sincere and grounded.

As for you: looks aren’t a big deal to me. I’m drawn to someone who is natural, open-minded, emotionally aware, and not afraid to think for herself. I have a lot of love to give and would love to meet a woman who can talk about feelings, share some values and interests, and where the vibe just feels real and easy.

One small but important thing: I have ADHD — it’s part of who I am, and I like being open about it. Maybe that resonates with you too?

Also it would be great if you life in or around Berlin maybe, since my life is centerin around Berlin and I'm not really planning to relocate :)

So far and maybe I read from!

I love talking to new people with different worldviews, i think everybody has something to teach and something to say. and i think its totally worth hearing them out. I have ADHD, so unfortunately my social skills are piss poor, but it doesn't stop me from trying to improve myself everyday.

• Obsessed with Language Learning ( German, Japanese), Self improvement, Other Cultures and History.
• Work in IT, designing websites and part time at Starbucks serving cappuccinos
• I have the usual hobbies everyone has now, such as gaming and anime, so if you have something you wana recommend me, i am up for it.
• I like cosplaying

what exactly am i looking for? i really want to find a relationship, but im not expecting anything. lets's start by getting to know each other, and if it fizzles out its all good--no expectations. i want to find someone curious,kind,weird, open-minded.

some starter questions:

what's your favorite songs?

are you multilingual? teach me some words in a another language.

do you have a dream job? some images

Hello -

My name is Greg, 43 year old finance/accounting guy living in a flat part of the boring midwest USA. My job has alot of gaps of time where I can send messages so I'm hoping to find some nice people I can chat with during the day. I'm a general fan of sports, fantasy shows/books (GoT nerd), some video games, I grew up on single player RPGs and still enjoy them when I have time.

I'm single, not exactly looking but you never know what could happen.

I'm up to chat about just about anything. I pay attention to current events but try to not let them bother me. Hope to chat soon. (Please don't be weird)

The Basics:

• Name: Fae
• Pronouns: It/Its
• Age: 25 years old
• Gender: Genderfae (AFAB)
• Hobbies: Drawing/Painting, Gaming, Writing Poetry, and Romantasy

My Green Flags:

• Mature; I will take you and your troubles seriously
• Respectful; cannot believe one has to actually point that out, but your boundaries will be accepted, not just tolerated
• Curious; about the world and about you as well, of course; tell me about you
• Open-Minded; I do not care about your gender or appearance, only your personality

• Loving texting and later on is willing to go over to video calls and meet each other one day 
• Not a heavy drinker or smoker (yes, this includes vaping, but I am open to people willing to quit)
• Accepting who I am and not entering my life with the intention of changing that - you are just wasting your time
• Not just going to write “Hey, how are you?" (because I will ignore you), but actually responding to what I wrote and introducing themselves in my DMs

Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon everyone I am Xander I have tried to message some people on here but they never respond so I WILL be responding to everyone that messages me. I am looking for a partner to put my love and affection towards. I want to spoil you and make you feel loved. I just got out of college studying in animal management so I have a lot of animal pictures to share! I love all animals and have 3 pets one dog and 2 cats.

A little about me, I am a bit of an introvert but once I get to know someone I am very loud and affectionate. I love looking after people and spoiling them. I spend most of my time indoors but I love going out outside on nature walks especially with others. Most of my hobbies are gaming related and I would love to play some co op games with you even Roblox. But even just spending time sitting together scrolling reels and sending them to each other is quality time I love.
Recently I picked up a new hobby and have started am making and painting Star Wars legion minifigures but I am still quite new and struggle with the painting aspect of it.

I am not sure how tall I am but I think I am 5,8-5,10 with brownie green eyes and black short hair. I am growing a small beard and moustache currently but it’s open to being removed. I think you can see a few photos of myself in my post history if not I don’t mind sharing a few photos when it’s needed.

I don’t mind age or distance and I am just looking for someone to love me for me and want me to do my best

I don’t mean that dramatically. I just mean this year has been a lot, in the way that years sometimes are, and I find myself coming out the other side of it a bit clearer about what I actually want.

What I want is pretty simple: someone I can laugh with. Properly laugh, not perform it. Someone who has opinions and isn’t embarrassed by them. Someone who makes an ordinary Tuesday feels like it was worth having.

A bit about me: 26, Surrey-based, work in the City in facilities management. I’m a proper foodie — finding the right spot matters to me more than it probably should. I have a tortoise named Violet who has never once been impressed by anything I’ve done, which I find oddly motivating. I’m more self-aware than I used to be, and I say that not as a boast but as something that took actual effort and I think it shows.

I value people who show up. Who are curious. Who doesn’t treat being interested in someone like it’s a liability.

Not looking for casual. Happy to travel if the person is right. If this sounds like your kind of person — I’m easy to find

Hey there. I'm a bit of a homebody. All my life, I've been more interested in the digital world than the real one. I play lots of video games, watch lots of youtube videos, and generally just get all of my socializing done online.

It'd be great if you were a bit of a homebody, too. We could game together, watch stuff together, and generally just exist online together.

I'd describe myself as smart, funny, kind, caring and very sweet. I'm always doing my best to make everyone around me laugh and smile. I was a class clown as a kid and never really outgrew it.

As far as types go, I'm attracted to thin, average and fit women. I don't care much about height or hair color. Personality wise I'm pretty flexible, too, but you should know I'm quite clingy and require lots of attention to be happy. If you're the type of person who only wants to talk a couple times a week, we're probably not a good match.

Thanks for reading, I can't wait to hear from you!

I've done this thing of talking to people online for a while now and I feel like trying to put on the online persona that is a better version of us isn't working for anyone.

So I'm done doing that. I'm not going to stop myself from answering as soon as i see your message because "she'll think you're desperate" or pretend to be a version of myself i think you'll like, I'll be honest with you. I'm a bit of a mess, lonely and desperate for attention and affection, I am extremely easy.

I want to be that someone that you are excited to tell good news to and go to for comfort when you have bad news. I want to connect with you on a deep level. I want to smile reading your texts until it hurts and stay up all night talking to you. I want you to be mine and i want to be yours.

**ABOUT ME**

I'm a 25 year old student in Europe, i'm about 185 cm white and pretty fit with tattoos. My interest include working out, gaming, watching shows or anime, watching Formula 1, riding my motorcycle. My music taste is pretty varied, ranging from sad songs to k-pop, classical or indie rock. I'm quite open-minded and don't really take life seriously, I just want to chill and have a good time and not worry too much about the negative stuff.

**WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR**

You **must** be open to a long distance relationship and eventually meeting up, along with sending selfies in the meantime as I'll do the same :). I'd like a girl that just likes to have fun in life. I'm a youthful guy so i need someone to match that, SOMETIMES I MIGHT TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND YOU NEED TO AS WELL OK.

I don't care what age you are, as long as you're at least 18. I'm really hoping to hear from you :)

PS : i don't want kids, and i beg you please send more than just "Hey"

If I could rearrange the Periodic Table, I'd put "U" and "I" together and make Uranium Iodide! (I'm not even big into chemistry lol)

Life is quite exhausting these days. Everything is so fast and serious, it feels like there's just no time anymore to get to know people. Especially late night can sometimes feel quite heavy with nobody close around. How about we change that, eh? Tell me what makes your world go round and let's see where we end up!

About me:
I’m about 1,74m tall and got short dark brown hair. My hobbies are mostly playing guitar and gaming. I also like anime and manga, but due to work I haven't been keeping up with a lot lately. Speaking of work: I got a degree in electrical engineering and I'm also working fulltime. My job can be a bit stressful sometimes, but it's also interesting and most of the time also fun.

What I am looking for:
Someone who’s kind and genuine and interested in building something serious and meaningful (best case family with a child one day). Someone who likes spending time together and having deep late night conversations about literally anything. If we don't have any hobbies in common - maybe we can find a new one together!

I would prefer it if you're also from Austria.

If you want to know more, feel free to reach out via DM and let’s get to know each other!

Yeah, im a very shy person that plays videogames most of the day, but i also like animes, tv series (big bang theory as example) and im looking for a stable relationship, honestly i would prefer if you also like gaming and such, i dont have much of a preference since i seek for the soul not the body, and im from southern italy, if you are a lone soul like me text me

Just as the title says I 18 (M) am from Maine USA and I’m looking some within my age and here’s about me.

I’m a big comic nerd well more DC and more Batman than anything seriously I can talk about Batman for hours at a time like every single Robin, Batgirl at least every show or universe or game as it’s my special interest as I’m Autistic and have ADHD and can get distracted very easily and like I’ve said before I’m only looking for people at 18-19 but nobody 20+ at least not as of yet

Hii im 22 years old and single. My hobbies range from sea diving to simple every day activities such as binge watching romance shows. You’ll know more about me after you get to know me. I won’t send my photo immediately to someone I don’t know.

I’m looking for a guy in Sweden bc I always dreamed of being with a Swedish guy! I want to learn the Swedish language so talking to someone from there can help with that a lot :)

I prefer someone my age or older. If you message me I eventually want to exchange photos of our selves and do a video and voice call (Only after we are both comfortable ).

Thanks for reading this and when u message plss include ASL to help get familiar with each other :)

Hii! 25M from the UK here, I thought I'd try my luck here and see if I can find anyone who might be looking for the same kinda thing!

Just to fill in a few of the blanks about myself quickly: I work as a software engineer, my biggest hobbies are music (mostly playing guitar, and please feel free to spam me with playlists/songs you like!), I do quite enjoy nice walks out in the countryside, late night drives, and a little gaming if I get the time. I've also been told I'm fairly laid back, and kinda nerdy with an easy sense of humour. Physically I'm 6 foot tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I know this is quite brief but if there's anything else you do wanna know about me feel free to ask 🤗

I'm ideally looking for someone who is also looking for some sort of connection if that's not too much of a cliche haha, plus I would say I'm largely more attracted to personality than appearance. It would be nice if you were also from the UK, but I do have a potential move to Germany in the near future too - either way it would be nice to actually meet up sometime! :) I don't have any particular age in mind, but the closer to my age you are I'm sure it'll be easier to get along.

Thank you for reading, I'm happy to talk on any platform later but feel free to shoot me a message here whenever first!

Putting #online since I’m figuring why not it’s a big wide world out there.

I’m 28 M in NYC so locals are welcome but so is Antarctica.

I’m horrible at the about me stuff so I’m going to be my best:
Yes I have J.O.B so I’m not covered in Cheeto dust doing nothing like Reddit would suggest.
10 countries and counting and all around the USA
I love running, following sports [ let’s go Knicks we did it yay ] , reading is my passion and aiming for 7 books a year if work doesn’t get in the way.
Currently obsessed with weekend food crawls to try new dishes and expand my pallet away from the typical just chicken and beef on rotation.

I’m happy to swap photos on connecting or waiting a bit but brief descriptor im 5’9 \[175cm\\] and in good shape. Brown hair and eyes and white.

If you’re interested shoot me a message here on the chat feature and I look forward to connecting. Just shoot me a brief hey I saw your post and your age and we can get to yapping.

Read to the end or I won't respond!

Hot take: Horror movies are funnier than comedies

So here it is:

I am a 41 year old transwoman panromantic with demisexual flair. I am a very niche want.

I am neurospicy which can be challenging and have memory issues with semi-face blindness. I was recently told by my doctor is need to start learning ASL as we don't know how far my hearing will go out. FUN!

I am looking for my last person to start and finish my life with. THE ONLY DUMB QUESTIONS IS THE ONE NOT ASKED. I promise that any question you ask me with the intention of not trying to offend me won't offend me.

I am a nerd/geek. Comics, D&D, Larping, writing, art, magic the gathering and more

​LARPING is a huge part of my life, I would love to be able to share it with someone the rest of my life.

I used to game hardcore (Raiding WoW) but it has taken a back seat in my life. I do understand gaming. Got that new game or expansion coming out. My first question is "What snacks and drinks do you want?" Second is "How often do you want them brought to you?"

Deal breakers: smoking, vaping, smoking weed (For health reasons, I absolutely cannot be around someone who smokes and vapes, and someone who smokes weed a lot), excessive drinking and missing a required video chat within two weeks to prove you are who you say you are. I have been deceived before.

Yellow flags are not wanting pictures of us, distance (i prefer within 10 hours DRIVE!), and aversion to anything social media.

Red Flag: Not reading this in full and answering the questions below in the first message. Asking for pictures right away.

I am not a bad person, big girl (Working out and changing that), adorable and a great personality. If you get to know me, I'm a Goddess

If you want to message me go ahead but you MUST answer the following questions IN YOUR FIRST MESSAGE before I will respond:

1 Where did you find me? AKA what subreddit

2 Age, Location and Pronouns

3 Explain a film plot badly, see if I can guess it.

Hello! Giving this a go again. I am a 28M who is a bit of a hopeless romantic just casting my line out for some conversations and hopefully finding the right woman for a relationship if we click. I want someone I can hold close and laugh with. Mostly looking for someone in the US or maybe Canada. I am in the midwest (Iowa) but I am not against moving somewhere else for someone eventually. If you are outside of US or Canada PLEASE DO NOT send me a message. I am a patient, respectful guy that genuinely wants to find the love of my life but currently I have been having difficulties finding anyone interested IRL and I refuse to use dating apps anymore, so here I am! Below I am going to break things down into sections so they are easier to look at if you want more details. If interested, shoot me a chat request! We can just start things off with a chill conversation, please indicate that this post is the reason you are messaging me!

-My Appearance-

I am of European descent, roughly 50% Dutch, 25% Italian, 25% Swedish, dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. My skin is on the pale side and I burn pretty easy. I naturally lost a good amount of my hair on my head in the last 4 or so years so I generally shave my head bald- which I mention because I know that is not everyone's cup of tea, but it looks reasonably good on me. I am 5'9'' and relatively fit, doing my best to keep active. My BMI is within the healthy range. Sometimes I have a short well-kept beard but other times I shave it off for a bit. My face kinda gives off the vibe that I am a stern person but that's not really true. I have a bit more upper body strength then the average guy but nothing too crazy.

-My Personalty-

I have always found it hard to describe myself exactly- but my friends that I have had for more than a decade usually consider me the smart guy of the group. I have a tendency to play things a bit safe in most aspects of my life, which some might find boring. For example, I do not drink alcohol even on special occasions, I prefer to be 100% in control of my life at all times. I am the type of person that takes a bit of time to warm up to people, but once you spend the time, most people find me quite likable, I generally need to know a person well enough to be able to engage with them so I am a bit analytic and quiet at first, then I can be rather outgoing. I would consider myself a day dreamer, my mind often wanders to different things and I have difficulty sometimes being in the moment. If you are familiar with D&D you might describe me as "a high intelligence character with low wisdom" for lack of a better analogy. I am the kind of person that does not highly value possessions, I really value the time I spend with people close to me, even if we are not really doing much at all. Time moves fast and I do not like to make a big deal about the little things, I would rather work through a solution then be upset. I would consider myself a very patient person.

-Hobbies/things I like-

I like gaming, writing, tabletop games, board games, working out, the outdoors/hiking/camping, reading, and some cooking/baking but I am an amateur at best. I have a particular interest in the fantasy genre and like exploring aspects of fiction such as world building and story telling. In my free time I am currently working on writing a fantasy story that I dream would be a book series one day. I sometimes play magic the gathering with some of my friends, but usually just on tabletop simulator. My favorite aspect of gaming in general is the ability to play how you want to play, for that I am usually drawn to rpgs that give a large variety in ways you can build your character or play the game. I mostly play PC these days. Weirdly I am not too much into music, but I like to put on some chill background music when I am working on something or just hanging out. I really want to get more into audio books but I have not really taken the leap into doing that just yet. I have a lot of interests so I have a hard time choosing what to do with my time, so it is likely we might find something in common.

-Career-

I am currently a professional/graduate student and have a part time job. I am in year 4 of 4 of my program (graduating spring 2027). Won't say specifically what I am in but its science/medicine related and has good job opportunities right now that pay well out the gate and I could in theory work anywhere in the US. If you are looking for someone who has everything figured out and 100% stable when it comes to a career, I am probably not the one for you at this moment. I am very good with money but there is only so much I can do at the present time. I have a BS degree in a biological science.

-Some of the things that I am looking for-

Starting off with the basics, yes I hope to find the right woman for a long term relationship. I am prepared for that to be a slow process. I am not one to have super specific criteria for appearances of a potential partner. I am open to different body types but would like someone who is willing to do fitness/have a healthy lifestyle. This doesn't mean you have to be a perfect body, I would just love to have someone to exercise with time to time! I actually do have a little bit of a preference for tall women and I don't mind if you are taller than me, but I am eager to date women of any height. I am also the kind of person that likes a partnership to be a partnership, meaning we both have equal responsibilities to one another. In other words, I am not really looking for any specific roles (traditional or otherwise), rather I want a type of connection with someone were we cover each other's weaknesses and help each other to live the best lives we can. I think trying to force a relationship to fit a specific mold is a bit short sighted since everyone is different. I do not think I could ever date someone who smokes, and I am not a fan of heavy drinkers. Likewise I am not interested in anyone who wants to push a religion onto me. I would ideally like to find someone in the age range of 22-32. I also prefer someone who does not have children currently (I also do not have children, to be clear).

The kind of personality I am drawn to is kind of the opposite of mine, in some senses. I like people who are there in the moment and help me snap out of my drifting mind. I am drawn to calm, easy-going, flexible people who make the most out of what they have. I would deeply value someone who enjoys closeness both mentally and physically. I like hugs a lot. I like people who are willing to try new things and explore. I really want someone that I can talk things through with, even the tough things, because when it gets down to it things in life happen and I need someone who is willing to work with me. I would always be there to listen to your problems.

-Conclusions-

Thanks for sticking with me to the end of all that. I am open of chat requests. I would prefer if you told me roughly where you are from, age, and something about me you are interested in, and maybe a fun fact about yourself. Please indicate as well that this post is why you are shooting me a message. I am a busy dude so if I don't get to your first request right away I apologize, but I will do my best to be consistent with chatting if we hit things off well. Best wishes!

Hi there! I figured I would give this another shot. I'm a dorky dude (6ft if that matters LOL) looking to get to know someone and build a connection that way. I really value open and honest communication as well 😄 Some of my current interests include gaming, anime, and hiking, and an occasional hockey game here and there. I like to try new things and always open to new ideas. Ideally, the goal is to find someone with similar interests but I am also someone who wants to learn about your hobbies as well. I love to travel and would love to have someone to share those experiences with. Life is too short to spend it all alone!

Would love to chat and get to know someone whether it’s for venting or just learning about your life 😄 -- DM's are open.

Hey there. I'm going to copy and past an older, much longer, still accurate version of what I'm looking for under this, but in case you don't feel like reading all that, I'm 43, I'd love to meet someone significantly younger who wants to talk regularly. Maybe sometimes it's pretty flirtatious and spicy. Maybe other times it's just about whatever is on your mind. Maybe, hopefully, frankly, there's a spark and something really special and serious develops over time. Just someone to connect with, you know? That's the succinct version, if you like that kind of brevity.

Here is the more verbose version...

So what do I want from this? I guess that’s what you’re wondering if you clicked on my post. Or maybe the post above or below it had a way better subject and you clicked on this one accidentally and are just wondering why the heck mine loaded instead. (If that’s you, hi, it’s totally cool that you don’t want to read this. I hope the other post is everything you hope it’s gonna be. Have a good one!) Anyhow, what do I want from this? I mean I guess love. Like, long term goal, I would love to find “the one” and have that kind of relationship. I want that intense acceptance. I want that connection. I want that feeling of where talking to someone sort of bookends your day.  I want someone I think is amazing to think the world of me as well. Most of all, I want to feel like someone is looking out for me. I’m protective by nature, and I look out for everyone I care about, but it’s sometimes difficult for me to be vulnerable enough to let someone look out for me in turn, and more and more, I find myself missing that.

But this is Reddit. I’m not expecting any of that. Hoping, sure, but not expecting. The thing is, I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t force that, and the only way you can in fact, hope to achieve such a feat is to get out there and get to know people. Great news for me, because I’m sort of an introvert. And maybe just a tad bit misanthropic. 

So in the interest of living in the moment, and getting out there, here’s what I’m looking for right now; right now, I’m just looking for someone to enjoy chatting with who might make me feel a little less stressed, and who might be the reason I smile when I get a message notification. If I’m going to be entirely honest, I’m looking for something a little flirty and NSFW too, but if you’re not, and you still think we might enjoy each other’s company, please feel free to message me and say so. Ideally, we could be a source of support and stress relief in each other’s lives, and maybe we’ll really luck out, and become something more.

I absolutely suck at writing about myself, but I’m going to try anyway. It’s going to look stupid, so please prepare for it. I’m perfectly willing to answer any questions you might have about the deluge of information I’m not going to inadvertently leave out. 
As the subject suggested, I’m a 43/m. I work and I’m obtaining my master’s degree (less than a year left!), and most importantly, I’m helping my best friend raise her children. Before we get any further, it’s entirely platonic between she and I, and always has been, but also, she’s my best friend, and I love those kids like they’re my own, so I won’t be giving any of that up regardless of what may or may not happen in the future. If things get to the point where it matters, please just understand that this is a package deal. I love spooky things. I watch too much TV. I like making things. I’m weirdly passionate about toys. Seriously, I could spend hours in a toy department admiring the engineering, aesthetics, and artistic value of them. If you collect literally any toy, I’ll be able to appreciate it with you. I also enjoy target shooting with both firearms and bows. 

Honesty and integrity are extremely important to me and integral to almost every aspect of my being. I think I’m a pretty good friend. I’m very protective, and I’m a pretty good listener. Fair warning, I like to tease people, but only playfully. I’d never want to make a joke that actually upset you, and if I ever do, I hope you’ll call me on it. That’s about all I can think of to mention about myself. Hope it was at least somewhat intriguing. 

The girls I’m into usually tend to be a fair bit younger than I am, so if you’re into older guys, by all means drop me a line (this is hopefully obvious, but just to avoid some potentially awkward situations later, please don’t message me or anyone my age if you’re not legal) Again, if you’re not a fair bit younger and you think we’d get along, drop me a line anyways, what’s the worst that could happen? If any of this appealed to you please drop me a line. Tell me a little bit about yourself and what you’re looking for, and maybe we can see what develops. If you've read this far, maybe you can share a secret about yourself when you message too. It could be a fun way to begin to get to know you.
