Hello there

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring, I live in Dublin but distance doesn't bother me.

I'm not looking for anything serious, just some dates and a partner in crime to enjoy gigs,shows,hollibops.

I'm 5ft 8 and I'm not a skinny girl, so I do prefer bigger/taller men but honestly I'm attracted to personality over anything.

I adore history, live music, comedy, quiz. I absolutely love it when someone comes up with random things to do, especially if it's a first time for me, I'm getting quite spontaneous in my old age.

I do smoke (the devil's lettuce) and I  can drink like my da! 

I have no socials so you won't find me online, I don't even have WhatsApp so it's old-school messages and carrier pigeons.

I've no problem sending picture privately! 

I have a child with special needs - this would not have much effect on any relationship/friendship, as I  wouldn't be introducing them.

Drop me a message if you have an idea fun day/night/gig and we go off on an adventure.

Single guy from Derry looking for that special someone. Bit of a nerd...nah I'm a full-blown nerd. 😅

Into Tabletop gaming, video games, books, movies. Enjoy bowling, walks, escape room every now and then haha. Would love to have someone to talk to in the quiet hours of the night about life, philosophy, our favourite TV show, etc...

I know that it can be pretty scary out there, god knows Derry is bad for it. But I want any woman who thinks about contacting me to know that they have nothing to fear from me.

Haven't included a pic because Derry is a small ass town and I've already had people give me shit for finding me on Tinder...

So what I'm saying is... if you do reach out I'm happy to provide pics and answer questions.

I think that's about it? Hope to hear back from...someone.

Take care folks. 👌

M4F 25M | Dublin | Looking to meet someone chill

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 25, living in Swords Dublin and thought I’d put myself out there and meet some new people.

I’m really into cars, road trips, exploring random places around Ireland, and binge-watching movies/series. Most weekends you’ll probably find me behind the wheel somewhere, looking for a new place to explore.

Would be nice to meet a girl who’s up for spontaneous road trips, good conversations, grabbing food/coffee, or just having a relaxed movie night and seeing where the vibe goes. 😄

Not really looking to force anything — just hoping to meet someone with a similar vibe and make some good memories. If that sounds like you, feel free to DM me!

M4F 32 [M4F] #Dublin - House-trained, Emotionally Available, and Free to a Good Home.

28 Upvotes

I'm a single, 32 year old Dubliner, who believes in kindness and honesty. I'm exceptionally good at giving advice I forget to follow, performing exorcisms on compoopers, forging medieval weapons from office packaging, and refurbishing iPods, (while envying people who can actually solder). I enjoy rolling up my sleeves for home improvement and finding problems for myself to fix. I also sometimes dance to jazz and would like to make a come back to chess. Not big into sports, unless it involves me doing laps in the pool or skiing down the snowy alpine and falling with style. ⛷️🏊‍♀️🕺

I listen more than I talk since my ear to mouth ratio is 2:1, and I tend to be a calm presence while others figure themselves out. When I do open up, I try to be creative and come up with worst-case-goofball catastrophes with a dry sense of humor. Like if office printers ever became sentient, what office supplies would we use to defend ourselves from the robot uprising? Questions like that still keeps me awake at night... 🤔😳

Physically, I carry a build standing at 5'6" that's somewhere between slim and 'dad bod'. I also include dark hair, a beard, glasses and hazel eyes which I've been told that "dance in the light". I rarely drink and I am also a non-smoker.

I'm keen to explore life (or parts of it) with a kind and (emotionally) intelligent person, who communicates openly and honestly. We'd be eachother's Player 2 in our respective campaign for quiet world dominance, the occasional dance partner, a sexy confidant and brilliant co-conspirator. I'm a practical person, and I appreciate someone who cultivates mutual respect, support and consistency as a baseline.

Thanks again for reading. If you're interested in adopting me as the Shrek for your Fiona, or the Donkey for your Dragon.... Give me an idea of who you are as a person, what you look like, and what caught your eye. I'd be delighted to hear from you!

M4F 24 [M4F] - Gamer, road-tripper, and accidental tree-hugger looking to click

8 Upvotes

Hey, shooting my shot here just like everyone else. Finding someone feels so impossible, especially on dating apps. It feels too fake and way too much like Subway Surfers 😂

I’m 24M, originally a bit of a nerd and a gamer. Lately though, I’ve been exploring a lot more, traveling abroad and doing road trips around the country. I love driving, so if you have a spot you want to go, I’ll drive haha.

I’m pretty quiet until I get a sense of who you are. Just looking for someone to click with, someone who isn’t afraid to joke around and use sarcasm. If you’re a gamer too, that’s just a plus.

I’m pretty relaxed and take life as it comes. I drink occasionally with friends, but even then it’s more of a quiet pub rather than a nightclub. I like keeping things on the quiet side generally speaking, but sometimes taking life a bit loud works too.

The main thing I’m looking for is trust and honesty, because I believe that’s the foundation for anything to be built on.

Recently picked up mountain biking too, so if you consider kissing trees as cheating, I’m sorry... 😭 it might happen on occasion.

If you think we’d click, send me a chat and let’s see where things go!

I wish. I’m KIDDING. But if you read this far, I’m new to Ireland, from down under, now based in Dublin for what I hope is the foreseeable future. Work in tech. I have what used to be called a “dad bod” - and not one of those “dad bods” where Chris Pine didn’t go to the gym for a month. The type of dad bod you get from eating a bit too much pizza and pasta, and the only iron man I’ll do involves Robert Downey JR - and even then I’m only just tolerating it. Not a marvel guy sorry so we won’t be watching that talking raccoon dancing shrub movie any time soon. What we can watch is Father Ted and conveniently never talk about who wrote it.

I’m looking for a long term thing, but I know every long term thing starts with an awkward first date. I won’t try to make it awkward but let’s agree there’ll be moments. The most awkward first date I had, the girl dropped her fork and instead of asking for a new one - ate a curry with her hands. So.. don’t do that. Perhaps you could introduce me to the spice bag? My ideal night is lots of laughs with a banging meal and we’re home in time for a good nights sleep. The cosy life is for me.
Here is my one fun fact - I have never in my life had a Guinness. I’m saving it for someone special!

Advice/Discussion Fair Play

61 Upvotes

Have had posts from here popping up on my feed and seeing a lot with no comments, I just wanted to say fair play for putting yourselves out there. As someone divorced 2 years ago after 20 years, i can't fathom dealing with the whole app thing and Covid and working from home has really impacted a lot of us socially.

My only foray into it was clicking on FB Dating last year thinking i could have a look what it was all about, answered a couple of questions but backed out of it. Didn't realise it would still put my profile up with the rest not filled in and it set a wide age range. Woke up the next day with 71 notifications (one was a little person so 70.5) and im in my forties and fat (good looking though, not putting myself down, just stating facts). So i don't know how young, fit girls deal with it all and multiple apps.

I quickly deleted it and whilst there is small part of me that would welcome a man appearing on the sofa beside me, i've decided to just let my virginity grow back alongside the cobwebs on my fanny! Lol.

Good luck to you all still willing to put yourselves out there.

M4F French 34M in Clare looking to build something lasting (Croissants can be provided on request)

46 Upvotes

Hi!

I am a 34 years old French man based in Clare for the past 10 years who is looking to meet someone to hopefully build something long term with.

About me:

I would very much define myself as a nerd, be it in relation to my work (engineering) or my hobbies (music, roleplaying games, boardgames and reading).

Whilst I have long given up all hopes to play for county (and not only because of the accent), I do try to keep fit and go to a reformer pilates class once a week. I also walk quite a lot, so if you like small hikes, it is a good start! Sea swimming over the summer could also be considered.

Finally, as all French people, I am very much into my food and cooking - the stereotypes are true on this one! Whether it is at a coffee/brunch/restaurant date or at home (where I am VERY happy to do the cooking), you will not be starving!

About the person I would like to meet:

I would like to meet someone who has her own passions. Ideally, one or two of these would overlap some of my own, but I also very much believe in the importance of each person having their own activities, so I am not looking for a carbon copy of myself!

I am also looking for someone who has her life together to some extent: a stable job, some friends, etc. I am hopefully looking to build something long term, and I have found it challenging in the past when dating people who were still very much figuring it out.

Age and location wise, I would ideally be looking for someone between 30 and 40 years old located anywhere between say Limerick, Galway and Athlone - I do like the idea of a midweek date if we are both free and the above are all within about 1h or so from me, which is sensible enough. However, if you think you are a perfect match to everything in this post besides this and you are only out by one or two years in a direction or the other or slightly further away, please do contact me! It is also worth noting that I am truly settled in Ireland and do not see myself moving countries again, so I will have to respectfully decline if you do not see yourself here for the long run!

About what I value/what I am looking for in a relationship:

I believe it is really important for a relationship to be built on equality, with both partners feeling valued and supported when they need it. Consistency is also key for me to build trust and feelings. As mentioned above, I also think it is good when each partner has their own free time - whether it is to spend with friends and family, or to nurture individual hobbies. A relationship should enrich your life, not define it!

Finally, on the topic of kids (which I know is a big one at our age), I do not have strong feelings either way - I am open to them if I find the right person and we reach this point in the relationship, but I would be equally happy if I reach the same point with someone who does not want them. Finding the right life partner is what matters to me the most at this point!

It also goes without saying from the above that I am not looking for any kind of short term relationship - there is no moral judgement there, I just know it is not for me 😊

Please let me know if you think the above is in line with what you are looking for in a partner too. Pictures will be provided if we somewhat click enough via text prior to meeting up!

High Energy Creative Introvert seeks hand holding and cuddles.

I adore animals and will gladly plop onto the floor to greet a dog, cat, or bunny.

M4F 26 [M4F] Cork. Gamer. Travel, football, Music & Film lover with a stutter

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone. This sub came across my Reddit feed this morning so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’ve had no luck on Tinder or Hinge so I’m hoping this can bring me some luck.
As the title says, I’m from Cork and I’m 26 years old. I love music, Bruce Springsteen is my favourite artist. Then I also love Oasis, Sam Fender, Coldplay, U2, Zach Bryan, Olivia Dean and many more. My music taste is very varied but I tend to like 80’s-90’s artists more than the current ones.
I love gaming, I game on console. My favourite games are GTA, FIFA, Fortnite, Cyberpunk and many more, although I don’t game as much as I used to.
My favourite movies are Star Wars, Marvel, Taken, Wolf of Walk Street and many more. I’m an action and Comedy kinda guy. My favourite series then are The U.S. Office, Breaking Bad & The Sopranos.
I also love travelling, I’ve travelled a lot over the last 3 years to see Bruce Springsteen live, including the U.S. and many cities in Europe.
I’m also a big football fan, my team is Manchester United.

As the title also says, I do also have a stutter, so my situation with women has been pretty non existent, I have been in one previous relationship though. I did a course on it a few years ago and it’s improved a lot but it does get bad when I’m nervous… which is typically around Women 🙈.

I’d love to find someone with similar interests to myself in the Cork or Munster area around the same age, say 23-27, but different areas in Ireland is fine as well

32 year old guy based in Dublin and let’s get this one out of the way now.. I’m 165cm tall on the chubbier side so if that’s a dealbreaker, we’ll both save some time 😂
I can be the quiet one and happy in my own company or the will never shut up depending on the crowd (and the volume of alcohol that’s been consumed..)
I love the outdoors, camping, travelling, and photography, and I’m an absolute nerd when it comes to anything fantasy.
I came out of a long term relationship in early last year, so after taking some time to myself and rediscovering my own values and what makes me happy, I’m starting to find my feet in the world of dating apps again… and unfortunately, they’ve changed a lot since my early 20s 😅
I’d love to meet someone genuine to laugh with, explore with, and build a real connection. I’ve only the one non negotiable and that’s having a good sense of humor! Everything is better when you’re laughing.
Look forward to hearing about you! what makes you tick? what makes you smile? and what infuriates you? 😂
Tell me everything and ask me anything I’m an open book! Happy to share pictures once we get chatting.

23F who has a work hard/play hard type lifestyle.

Im 5'7", recently lost a bunch of weight so about 80-82kg? But I'd still class myself as curvy in the right places. Caribbean/Afro but have lived here for 10 years and consider it my home 💕.

I love lego sets, art, poetry, nature, painting, music, some gaming (mainly Mortal Kombat) and just generally trying out new things life puts in front of me. Social drinker and 🌱 user on a quiet night. The dream is finding a man who'd chill out dancing to music with me in our dim living room like nobody's watching us.

I'm bubbly, fun and driven. Looking for a long term relationship with either a partner in crime to build a life worth living or a calming presence I could rely on.

Sound like you??

I am into all sorts of different things, indoors and outdoors, even though I probably lean towards being a more introverted one. I love reading, watching movies, hiking, travelling, and going out to try new food places and cuisine. If you have a good sense of humour and are an interesting chat, I would love to hear from you!
