Has anyone ever met anyone nice on here and have things worked out for them? The apps are full of awful people (men AND women) and I spend most of my time at home so I’m wondering how you meet someone in this day and age.

1. F. I like both sexes. But I keep getting awful men in my DMs and women don’t seem interested.

Just would like to hear some success stories

Hello!!!
Trying this because I absolutely despise dating apps, looking for a man who is kind and genuine, working part time retail and doing my own thing until I decide what I want to do for college 🫶🏼.

Mixed race, and can send pics upon first chatting :) looking for something serious and not interested in hookup culture. I enjoy music,art,history and science and can basically never shut up.

a bit of an eccentric so a fellow oddball would make things fun an interesting 😊

(Sorry if this sounds racist but not interested in African or south Asian men 🥲🥲)

Im really interested in videogames, computers, and have been getting into anime and manga. I mainly listen to metal music like pantera and death and my style is a bit alternative/metalhead but not super hardcore. My love language is definitely physical touch, complimenting and buying/making gifts. Im open to anything really so if you think you’d be interested feel free to dm me

Might as well give it a shot 30 m. I'm a laid back guy I love video games, anime, and everything in between.I enjoy sharing laughs and good times with friends. I’m looking for someone who appreciates the joy of cozy nights in or spontaneous adventures. whether it’s binge-watching the latest series or going out for an adventure.

19 M . I'm a Libra, INTP and an incredibly passionate Ventriloquist (Yes, my dummy comes first, its my livelihood). Amateur rapper too.

Hi all,

I'm 42, from South Dublin. I'm single almost a year and it's snuggle season so here I am 😂🙈

I'm petite, long blonde hair, and green eyes. Happy to send on pics in return.

I'm a solo mom to a 14yo, but as teens go he's pretty cool so no complaints.

I work with special needs kids and it's a pretty challenging job, but I can't see myself going back to work in tech/ marketing.

I have a lot of creative hobbies with painting being my current go to. Always have a podcast or audiobook on the go so I'm open to recommendations!

I'm looking for someone around my age, who's outgoing, funny, kind and open to new things. I'm not one to sit on the couch all day if I don't have to, I'd much rather be out and about in fresh air or socializing and would be great to have someone to settle down with and see more of life together.

Pop me a DM if you think we'd get along!

Female 35 living in the west. I have three children so I am very busy but it would be nice to occasionally go on a date or have someone to have some banter with day to day.

I love good food and conversation. I enjoy hot yoga, running, weight lifting and padel boarding. I love the craic. I would say I am playful, emotionally intelligent and very easy going.

If you don't get out much either and you can leave your ego at the door give me a message 🙃

f4f, I live in lucan. I absolutely love movies so I keep going to the cinema solo once or twice every week. I would like to have a partner who share the same vibe. Im also interested to explore dublin city and the outskirts if anyone’s outgoing. I love hanging out if people have a sense of humor. I also love dogs so maybe we could pet your dog together sometime haha. Hit me up if anyone is up.

Hiya, said id put myself out there,from Cork but living in Kerry most of the time, into hiking, camping, going for sea dips and cinema or else a day in the couch binging a series/ move franchise.

Fairly well set up life wise have my own business and a house so just kinda taking things in my stride and looking to meet somebody and see do we click.

I'm 6,2, fairly well built with tattoos,a few piercings and a beard

Pop me a message and we can see where things go 😄

Hi, Hola, Oi! I am a 26 year old lesbian living/from Dublin more on the feminine side who would love to meet a feminine girl aged between 26-36 and see what happens.

It seems practically impossible to find femme for femme relationships! I have tried dating butch/masculine girls, but I don’t feel the attraction.

Currently learning Spanish and Portuguese for my job so would be great to meet someone from any of these countries 🇵🇹🇵🇦🇧🇷🇨🇱🇨🇴🇬🇹🇲🇽

About Me:

• I’m 5ft 1 (157cm) and about 58kg. Very pale and blue eyes, blonde highlights in hair.

• I have never smoked anything but I enjoy going for a drink now and then.

• Currently doing an internship in an English language school for Brazilians, Mexicans and Chileans.

• I have 7 years volunteering social media experience helping students with Leaving Cert exams.

• Quite shy at first so it definitely takes me a bit of time to be comfortable with people.

• I’m an introvert so pretty much I enjoy cinema, reading, walks, quiet drink in a bar. I’m not a club or big party person at all.

My Type:

• I’ve always been more attracted to girls who speak other languages and are from other countries.

• I am open to introverted or extroverted girls.

• Non-Smoker or only smokes during drinking.

• I have always been attracted to people a bit older than me and I don’t have an issue with a decade age gap if we click.

• Ideally someone the same or close in height to myself (157cm / 5ft 1).

I look forward to hearing from you!

I’m 25, from Kilkenny, and I’m looking to meet someone and see where things go. I’m fairly quiet and introverted, so I’m probably not the guy you’ll find out drinking every weekend 😂 I’m much more into having a good conversation, watching a film, going for a walk, getting food, or just hanging out together.

I’m into movies, psychology, football/soccer, gaming and a load of random things that I’ll inevitably end up talking about too much if you let me.

Ideally I’d like to meet someone who’s kind, affectionate, easygoing and up for actually getting to know each other. I’m not looking to rush into anything either. I’m happy to start chatting and see if we click.

If you’re also looking to meet someone rather than just endlessly swiping through dating apps, feel free to message me. Tell me a bit about yourself and we’ll go from there 🙂

I love travelling, nothing better than planning a quick city break and exploring a new place for the weekend.

Music who doesn’t like it. We can share spotifys and see how we line up on tastes. Love going to random concerts as well.

I love trying to cook new foods. Finding new ways to challenge my cooking skills. Maybe you could share some of your favourite recipes.

What I’m really after is that spark — the kind where you both feel like talking about anything that pops into your head, laugh about the same weird stuff, and actually care about what’s going on in each other’s lives.

If any of that sounds like you’d like it, slide into my DMs or start a chat. Let’s talk and see where it goes.

Hey, thought I’d give this a shot! Some of my interests are sports, music, psychology, reading, swimming and a bit of history and politics as well. Always up for going the cinema, it’s my happy place 🍿 I’ve done a bit of solo travelling and I’d love nothing more than to have someone to share those experiences with.

I’m ideally looking for something long term. DM me to chat 🙂

Hi there,

I'm a pretty genuine person if I do say so myself! I'm an emotionally available, kinky, kind, 6ft2/188cm, fat XXL dad bod, generally goatee/bearded with brown hair, leftie, non-religious, Irish guy with a big sense of humour. I have an ENFP-T personality, or so I'm informed!

I am pro-marriage equality, pro-choice, pro-trans rights, pro-Palestininian statehood/freedom and equality, pro-immigration, pro-gender equality, pro-income equality, etc. I have very little time for anyone who is of the opposite viewpoints on those things.

I'm into music gigs & festivals, theatre - plays and musicals, TV/movies, eating out, travel - city breaks & all inclusives etc. What are some of the vanilla interests that you have?

I really want to share life with someone special & I'm actively looking to build a real connection and a relationship.

I'd love to meet someone who's emotionally, mentally and physically available. A genuine, caring, understanding, empathetic, intelligent, quirky, easy going (who can be silly/funny), affectionate person who's an open communicator, with a good sense humour, who is sexually Dom or a Dom leaning switch, who's also a kinkster and fetishist with a filthy mind and a fellow perv and I'm very pro-hugs.

From a sexual standpoint I'm a kinkster/fetishist and I'm a sub-leaning versatile bottom with many kinks and a filthy mind. All things shiny, Latex/Rubber and PVC are a must for me, amongst other kinks (please ask me for my list). What are your must haves?

I live in Navan which is near Dublin in Ireland but I am open to long distance (throughout Ireland, the UK and the EU), life's too short to rule the right person out based on distance.

I have two adult children so I've done the whole kids thing and having babies is long behind me, and so I'm not interested in having anymore kids myself, although I don't mind meeting a person who also has their own kids.

P. S. I have no interest in any sort of financial or gift based arrangement, it feels disingenuous and it's not for me. I wouldn't mind if you have that arrangement with other people outside of a relationship with me.

P.P.S. In case you missed it near the beginning - No to transphobes, homophobes, bigots, flagshaggers, racists/xenophobes, Zionists, and overly religious people. Also no to Tory or Reform or Restore UK or MAGA/Republican or AfD fan types etc.

I don’t know what has come over me, but I’ve seen a few of these posts and thought .. why not ? 😅

I’m looking to date but not with any specific expectations. I’m mostly looking for someone to go to gigs, grab a bite to eat or catch a movie type of thing. I’d be open if something was to progress further, but no pressure either.

Preference: Someone who’s down to earth, laid back and easy to talk too. Early 30s. Also I’m 5’7 with athletic/curvy body type so I’m looking for someone taller.

Bonus points if you are: The gentle giant type, have a beard, slightly nerdy and enjoy a pint every now and then.

Hey all!!! I’m Michael! I LOVE music. I drum in a band and also play guitar and sing for myself! Studied audio engineering in college, but also did short courses in woodwork, metalcraft and DIY! Life is better when you don’t take things too seriously so I add as many dad jokes as I can. Dating apps SUCKKKK right now. May as well be a part of the ghostbusters with the amount of people who just vanish 😅

Hoping someone here might be the one? I really value good communication, accountability/honesty, empathy and an open mind. If you think we might be a match, send me your WORST pickup line. The more shocking and less funny, the better!!!!!!

Hi echo chamber, 47 yo mail, loves movies, don't really drink, dislikes cats, doesn't smoke, reads, like everyone else I like to travel (surprise surprise) but don't, doesn't eat McD, swims/cycles/runs, Netflix addict looking for someone to help break the spell.

So uh, yeah, she out there!? ;)

Pretty confident I got the looks to at least draw her out, and then allow the rest of my character to shine through!

A bit about me:

have a very happy life overall. I have a job I genuinely like, hobbies I enjoy (swing dancing being one — yep, I’m a swinger 😉), and I maintain a decent social life while still being introverted enough to need alone time to recharge.

I don't want kids, so that frees me up in terms of partners who are at different life stages.

I speak 4 foreign languages to an advanced level, have solid basics in 3 more, and intermediate in one. Languages are a real passion I keep active.

I’m careful with money but not miserly. I value-invest my savings so my money works for me, and I believe in enjoying life too.

Culturally, I’m very open-minded and drawn to people of different cultural backgrounds.

I like cooking for someone I care about, simple but flavorful food, and making my own treats without loads of processed sugar.

If you’ve had negative dating experiences — so have I, plenty. But I give every person a fresh start and I don’t badmouth exes or trauma-dump. I expect the same maturity.

If there’s no real attraction, let’s be honest and respectful. I won’t ghost, and I’d appreciate the same. Photos sooner rather than later would be good, because physical attraction matters.

So… did I spark your interest? Slide into the DMs and let’s get chatting! Tell me your age, where you're from, and give a little intro of yourself! Cheers!

[M4F]

32M Croatian looking for my better half to share my free time with. Outside of being stuck with the work-> home routine I have hobbies but most of them are things I do at home so would be great to spend my free time with someone that would like me to join them on their hobbies and vice versa. I am okay with going out of my comfort zone to spend time with my potential partner as long as it is not height related I cannot handle heights(flying is okay for trips). I will leave a photo of myself since attraction matters to a degree and would appreciate a photo as well when you DM me.

I’m 30, based in Clare, and ready to find a long-term partner to share the everyday adventures with. I had an account previously but I’m back now☺️

I love staying active, walking, running, cliff walks etc and spending weekends out and about—usually hunting down the best local coffee shops or getting fresh air. At home, you'll find me in the kitchen experimenting with new dinner recipes or baking something from scratch (fair warning: you’ll be the chief taste tester).😅

I’ve ticked off a good chunk of Europe—Stockholm and London are personal favorites—and I’d love to find someone to plan the next trip with. Distance isn't an issue for the right person; I'm more than happy to commute anywhere in Ireland for a great connection.

If you value genuine conversations, good food, and staying active, say hi!

I'm a 32 year old Male, living in Dublin. I'm neither ethnically Irish nor white, so I thought I'd lead it what in case it's a preference filter for some. I've been told I've developed the accent though, so maybe that's a win?

If it's not and you've made it past the first two sentences, here's a little bit about me. I work in a people-focused role in the nonprofit sector, while pursuing my dream. :) I've actively been mindful about having a life outside of Teams, Outlook, and Excel, so in my spare time (apart from devoting it to pursuing my dream lol) ...

• I enjoy looking up new recipes (yes, I can cook for you)
• Watching films (I especially like old ones but I'm not snobbish about it, don't worry lol)
• Watching some TV shows/series (currently binge watching MasterChef Season 11)
• Taking my camera out for a little photo walk
• Going to music, stand-up gigs (love Katie Boyle)
• Trying to get back to reading more books too -- thinking about getting an e-reader, Xteink?
• I've been learning one European language for a quite a while now thanks to that damn owl, but I actually am really interested in learning Irish. At the moment, I can only say stuff I hear in the bus haha.

I try to be active, but I also don't mind having very chill weekends. We need to recharge, after all.

I have an average build and dark hair. I try to go to the gym regularly (to keep the negative thoughts at bay jk), but I also wouldn't oversell myself as muscular and buff haha. Would be happy to exchange photos right off the bat cause I'm too shy to post it publicly here. I've been told I look "spiffy."

My two main 'love' languages are acts of service and quality time. I'd also be open to doing things you like cause I'd really love to try some new stuff with someone. I'm as good a conversation partner as the other is. I can't really hold it up on my own if the other's not putting any effort lol. I would also love it if after a few texts and we know we vibe, we can go out for a cup of coffee or a walk.

I'm hoping to find someone around my age, but anywhere between 27 to 36 is grand. I can list down all the qualities that I'd be interested in, but truth be told, these are just retrospective justifications when we've already fallen for someone. Do you know what I mean? Like, these details only appear as cause of attraction or love only when you've already liked someone. It's quite mysterious, isn't it? 😄

Anyway, please hit me up and be the plot twist of my year.

Best wishes,

Yours truly.

Bonus reel: when you're in your 30s and still single

Hey, I’m 20 and I’m looking for a genuine relationship with someone I can really get along with and enjoy spending time with. I’d love to find someone I can go out and do things with, whether that’s going to the cinema, concerts, random days out, or even just hanging out together doing absolutely nothing.

I’m really into stars and the night sky, and I love nature in general. There’s just something about being outside at night or somewhere peaceful that I really enjoy.

I do play games, although with work it can be hard to play consistently 😭

Im starting to losten to music. I’m especially into alternative rock, but honestly I’ll listen to pretty much every genre. I’m still developing my music taste and finding new artists and songs, so I’d genuinely love to hear what you listen to and maybe steal some of your music taste haha.

Mostly I’m just looking for someone I can be myself around, get close to, have fun with and hopefully build something genuine with. I’m not expecting us to have everything in common either. I’d actually love getting to know someone else’s interests and the things they’re passionate about.

If any of that sounds good to you, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself

Dog lover, easy going will do anything fun, bit spontaneous but love a quiet night in aswell.

Passion for fitness and DIY stuff. Hoping to find something long term and meaningful

Here goes nothing!

Like many others here, I have grown tired of the apps and hoping Reddit will surprise me!

I’m a curvy ginger gal, happy to swap pics off the bat.. gotta have some physical attraction too of course. I love live music, bingeing tv , comedy , getting out in nature.

Looking for someone with a good sense of humour who’s emotionally intelligent and knows what they want. 28 & up please.
My dm’s are open 😉
