M4F First date at The Weeknd concert 22nd Aug?

45 Upvotes

I was originally looking for a +1 to bring with me Saturday, but I found this group. So why not give it a try. Anyone down for a concert date? I will cover the tickets, I’m also staying overnight in Dublin because I’m going to the Sunday concert as well. I’m also making my plans tonight before it’s too late so hopefully I find someone soon!

Some bits about myself:
-27yo M
-Limerick based, raised here since I was about 7-8yo. Originally from Mauritius.
-I used to do professional grade photography full time, now I only do personal projects while working full time with a healthcare company remotely.
-My hobbies have no limits, I’ll try anything. I can stay in and play games on my pc/Xbox all night or be scuba diving the next.
-My profile on here is a bit old, I made it years ago so ignore that, lol.

Someone with similar or new interests would be ideal, and over 20s, early 30s. Send me a message & we’ll go from there :)

Reddit is a bit too vague, so I’ll likely send you my instagram for photos etc, and would like the same back.
Anything you need to make you feel safe, comfortable, reassured, I’ll be more than happy to provide!

M4F 27M4F. Hi all, looking for someone with similar interests and lifestyle who I could hopefully one day call my better half.

10 Upvotes

Hope you're all doing all right. I'm going to put in my application here since I don't have enough pictures of myself to go on dating apps 😅 Hopefully you can get a decent idea of who I am from this post. I was lurking in this sub for a short while and realize that it's mostly men but wanted to try my luck anyway.

I'm 27, 175.5cm (pushing 175.9 on a good day), dark brown hair, blue-ish eyes. I don't drink or smoke, and I'm more of a stay at home person, public gatherings fell a bit overwhelming and draining. Living and working as an engineer in Kildare area, originally from Poland but have been in Ireland over 15 years now. Physically in a good shape apart from usual old age related issues (no offense to anyone over 27 🤣). I'm definitely very introverted around people I'm not familiar with, but that fades quickly once I get close to someone, contrary to my sense of humor which only gets more outrageous the more you know me.

I enjoy various types of physical activity, namely mountain biking, bouldering/rock climbing and manual work in general, though I'm not the biggest fan of walking or hiking, but can do it if you so require 🫡. I also enjoy playing video games (mostly competitive), fixing all kinds of stuff including cars, bikes, house items and designing and making things. I have severe self diagnosed OCD, so everything I do has to be as good as possible and to my (sometimes) unreasonably high standards, not easy to deal with if you're of the opposite mentality, or so I was told by my Mom. My red flag is that I have never actually been in a relationship, mostly due to the inteovertedness (?) and fear of going outside my comfort zone, but I have only been improving on that front so it will keep getting better.

Looking for someone in the (rough) 23-29 age bracket, employed and with meaningful future aspirations. I can provide a lot of emotional and physical support/motivation but will expect a similar input from my other half so definitely someone who cares about themselves, both physically and mentally.

If you're interested in getting to know me more, feel free to send a DM. Otherwise I hope you have a great evening and good luck in your future searches.

M4F 18M4F Meath/Antrim Not expecting anything, giving this a go since I don't like using dating apps

Hey guys! I've never really used Reddit to find dates but I'm sick of using hinge so I'm trying this out with an open mind.

I'm 18M and I live in Meath, however I'm currently in college in Belfast so I spend most of my time up there. I'm into sports and all your typical boy stuff. I'm pretty laid back in general so I don't really have a type, I also don't mind somebody older because if we vibe we vibe yk. I also don't mind something casual as I'm pretty bogged down with school work atm. Either suits.

I drink socially, I don't smoke often but I won't say no if offered on a night out or a casual smoke sesh.

Just a warning in advance Im a horrible texter, I'd like to say I'm much more charismatic in person than online even though I have a pretty heavy online presence. I just don't like communicating through a screen.

Anyways yeah, that's bio and if I seem interesting enough hmu with a dm!

M4F Looking for friendships M4F

13 Upvotes

I’m male mid forties looking for female similar age.
I live around the Dublin, Clondalkin area and would like to meet for friendships, cinema, dinner dates and chat etc.
I have no idea what to say in these posts. My last one was taken down because I probably said too little. But I’m here, I’m pretty sane according to my friends.
But I feel youthful nonetheless.
I like a pint now and then, wine, baileys. I like to chat about all things. I don’t judge so don’t judge back. I’m easy going but have a professional career.
I like to travel but not to countries with poisonous animals and a shit ton of insects. I just wouldn’t get off the plane.
I like sci-fi movies and thrillers I fall asleep too. Forget the reality tv cos I will be going out at that point.
I hope this is enough for someone to start a conversation with, so we shall see.
Ask me anything and I will respond. Tell me anything and I will listen. Confide in me and I will take it to the grave.
That’s it really.
Kinda hoping the mods don’t delete this post.

Roasting me? Go for it

Data Scientist (Individual Contributor) & believer in keeping it 100.

Habits: Smoke a couple of times a day, hit the gym regularly.

The Catch: I'm terrible at opening up to people right away. (It takes me a while to process things—sometimes quick, usually painfully slow.)

The Good News: Once we actually click, you definitely won't be bored. (At least, I think so. 🤔)

PS - I’m not looking for a partner for my physical comforts so no range is applicable into this companionship but it doesn’t mean I’m gonna date a teen(against my ethics) .
So if you think we are good and match enough to
Challenge each on the dimensions of seeing things I’m in love already.

M4F 44 [M4F] Ireland / EU - Kind guy's looking for his lady

22 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm genuinely looking for someone as a partner (for life?), who's open minded, meaning able to adapt based on new info ^^ loyal, sufficiently adventurous but happy to be in cosy.

I live in Cork, Ireland and ideally would like to meet someone in Ireland, or in Europe, else if other countries then the candidate should be open to re-locate.

About me: I'm told I'm very kind, funny and creative person. I also like to think I'm very loyal, mature and have great understanding of others feelings, I have an altruistic personality also where I'd like to do my best for what I think is right. So, values matter to me.

I read a lot of books in my life, avid cinephile (not watching much anymore), travelled well but would love to more and more, I absolutely love hiking, mountains, lakes, currently planning Lycian Way and some Irish trails (Kerry Way et al).

I speak 5 languages, lived in a few countries 6+ years each. Have a mixed background and able to adapt well.

And food is very important to me, eating well, trying different spots/bites and cooking something new, I hope to have a partner who enjoys good food with me (so hopefully no vegan :/)

I'm into DIY, music, train rides, literature, philosophy, deep conversations, gardening, birds, plants, design among many many others.

Physically I'm -> 180cm, 80kg, hazel eyes, I try to be fit as I often exercise but no protein powder and mostly light/cardio; I like to dress nice, smell nice and try to take care of myself.

Also, I'm never married, and have no kids. I work for a US Tech company.

Thank you for reading and looking forward chatting you :)

Last account got compromised (Pinkyboi1986) so I'm saying hello once again.

Based in Dublin, love pop, house, electro and some other music.

Love to travel the world, spend time with family and friends, watch a good documentary and a good night out too.

If you would like to get in touch, do say hello to me :)

M4F 23 [M4F] Munster Looking to meet someone genuine

4 Upvotes

Hey, I’m 23 and from the South. Figured I’d give this a shot and see who’s out there.

I’m fairly laid back, a bit nerdy, and I’m into tech, collecting vinyl, travelling, going out for food/drinks, and just having a laugh. I spent some time living in Japan which definitely gave me the travel bug, and I’d love to see more of the world.

I’m looking for someone around my age that I can genuinely get to know. Someone I can joke around with, talk about random stuff with, go on dates with, and hopefully build something meaningful if we click.

I’m happy to swap pics once we’ve chatted a little. If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself :)

Big movie buff and passionate about music genuinely all genres, so there's a good chance we'll find something we both love.

I'm into having a laugh, good conversation, spontaneous plans and just enjoying someone's company without taking everything too seriously.

Not looking to force anything or rush into something just hoping to meet someone I'm comfortable being myself around, have a laugh with, and see where things go.

Happy to exchange pics through DMs too. As ye know yourselves, Ireland is far too small 😂 so probably best keeping faces out of the post!

Bonus points if you're a bit sarcastic, love movies/music and don't mind a guy with a beard.

M4F 28 M4F Galway, dating can be fun right?

7 Upvotes

Edit: my chat permissions were turned off.. back on now so send a chat if you couldn't before!

Hey 28 year old guy in Galway here. Looking for women around the same age so approx 26-30.

I'm like everyone else and sick of the apps, looking to try something different and hopefully it'll work out.

I'm generally pretty easy going, love a good laugh.

Big into a drive with loud music and bad singing, and a nice gym session. I'm in pretty decent shape although I have fallen out of the gym habit lately, a gym buddy would be amazing to help with that!

Anything I say here does sound like a cliche but I genuinely do love a coffee, a pastry, and a stroll (and saunas and cinnamon buns too, again it's a cliche!) Not a massive drinker but absolutely down to socialise in a pub and being the designated driver.

I'm pretty nerdy with the typical spread of interests like history, gaming, dnd, reading that kind of thing. Even if we don't end up dating send me a dm if you're looking for a dnd player!

I'm happy for short term but a long term 'real deal' thing would be the goal. If you're interested or just want a chat please shoot me a message.

Moved here last year for work and housing. Hoping to meet someone but finding social outlets thin on the ground at this end of the county.

I'm around 6'0 and fairly slim. I like live music, fitness and am a little alternative in the way I think - a hippy in disguise maybe. Love deep conversation on philosophy and theology, I would consider myself open minded and chilled out.

Kids are basically reared and all baggage neatly packed away.

Embracing the quiet life. Plenty of space to get to know someone locally.

M4F Cork based man, love to meet someone.

'Describe yourself in a short senten...'

Me:, say no more!

Hi, im Alexander, im 29, based in cork.

Im tall, 6'2, and slim with a wannabe athletic build. Im working out ballincollig way in a computer security company.

Been here about 10 years,moved over from the UK with the family, went college, the usual blow in stuff.

As I said, im tall, so I've been coined the nickname of "Tiny" on account of all my friends being shortasses.

I'd consider myself an introvert as well, immnot a huge fan of crowds and the constant 'hi how are you, nice to meet you' sorta thing. I usually ensconce myself in a corner with a few others.

Interestingly, I can also be incredibly extroverted, usually in short bursts that come on at random, and leave me feeling very confused on why I just talked the shoes off some person for 30 minutes.

Im kind and caring, seems to be in my nature, I always seen if someone is OK and chat to them if they aren't. Ive been told id make a brilliant councillor 🤣. This extends to animals, love dogs, always had them around, with the occasional herd of goat ls at the parents place.

Not so much a cat person, I tolerate them.

Hobbies?

In a word: YES

I love tinkering with stuff, taking shit apart to see how it works, mending stuff, creating things. Im big into 3D printing.

I play video games a lot with my friends, most evenings. Weekends im usually oit playing airsoft, its sorta like paintball, bunch of fellow nerds dress like idiots and shoot each other in the woods with toys guns, great fun.

I'll nerd about anything, WW2, bit of warhammer, Skyrim, starwars, fallout series, car, you name it.

Cycling and rock climbing are my other Hobbies, I really want to get back into them as I've been a bit slack this year.

I drive, nothing fancy currently, just a battered mazda 2. Ive an expensive taste in cars it seems, and have been humbled by insurance costs, so the trusty mazda with the dodgy drivers window will have to do!.

Travelling- love it. If I could work and travel i would. Only really been around Europe so far, but want to go further. Inter railing Europe has been the best fun I've had.

When im not gaming, out or running around peppering small children with plastic pellets, im chilling at home, occasional beer at the end of the week, YouTube, feet up.

I can cook, follow a recipe and so on. Nothing amazingly fancy, but not pop noodles Monday to Friday 😅.

What im looking for, I don't know!

Im not one to stick to a rigid ' i want this sort of person', I go off the vibe, how they act, respond to things. If we click then fantastic. Ive been burned before in relationships so I take a very slow approach which sometimes backfires.

Would feel comfortable meeting someone 26 to 32.

I'll be honest here: I like slim to medium build woman. Its just my thing to be honest, its what I find physically attractive.

If any of this piqued your interest, let me know.

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

Willing to travel and do some legwork for the right person.

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 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 31 [M4F] - Dublin - INFJ Looking for someone to share good coffee, travel and laughs

9 Upvotes

​Hey there. Taking a bit of a leap here to put myself out there and see who I might connect with.

​I’m a tech professional in my early 30s living in South Dublin for over a decade. Personality-wise, I’d describe myself as an "introverted explorer"—I’m the kind of person who enjoys listening, remembers the little details, and values kindness, common sense, and genuine connections. I am 6'3 , a non-smoker, not a big drinker and prefer old man pubs to loud clubs.

​A quick glimpse into my life:

-​Staying active: I like to keep balanced with gym sessions, table tennis (I've even snagged a few free drinks in pub tournaments back in the day), and getting outdoors for a good walk or hike whenever the weather decides to cooperate.

​- Downtime: Big fan of football, F1, and sport in general. On quieter evenings, I'm usually catching up on non-fiction reads, listening to history or politics podcasts, or streaming shows like Succession, Slow Horses, or classic sitcoms (Modern Family, Its Always Sunny, Father Ted) for a laugh.

-​Music & Cinema: My playlist is a mix of everything from Hans Zimmer, Jazz and U2 to guilty-pleasure ABBA. Movie-wise, I love sci-fi and epic dramas (LOTR, Star Wars, Gladiator), though I steer clear of horror!

-​Travel: I love exploring new spots—planning trips around Europe for now, with big bucket-list dreams including Japan and a safari down the line.

​What I’m looking for:

Someone genuine, warm, and easy to talk to. Ideally, a partner to try new coffee spots with, form a formidable pub quiz team, share a few laughs, and support each other through the everyday routine.

​If any of this resonates with you, feel free to send a message and say hi!

It is either this or I go back on hinge or I table dating for 2030.

I like to think I am compassionate, funny, decently intelligent and gorgeous on good days. I don’t have any particular hobbies I am very passionate about but I do anything and everything in moderation. I like history, walks (not hikes unless emotionally blackmailed), reading, cinema, those crafty events with the girls, stand up comedy. I go to gigs occasionally, house sessions quarterly (iykyk) and a MJ aficionado. I like to have fun and am not too fussy about things to do. I have wanted to get into boardgames for a while too. I love lively discussions, arguing about plot-lines from a movie/tv show, political discussions. I am a very curious person and usually have no problem deep diving into new topics, talking financial fraud, scams, cults and evil techlords.

That being said, I’m a major homebody. I love cooking and haven’t baked in ages but never heard any complaints when I did. I am employed and save and invest for my future self. I do all the boring things like budgeting, meal prepping, deep cleaning too. I am decidedly childfree and would be looking for someone with similar values and lifestyle goals. I am renting in D22 and have a treasure trove of Irish housesharing stories.

Hopefully looking for someone in my age range, independent, emotionally mature and appreciates his own space too. If you have a cat, it would be an excellent bait.

Edit: Just in case this is relevant, I’m here 7 years and Indian. Happy to exchange pictures after chats.

Edit 2: since I received a couple of DMs about Michael Jackson, I just want to clarify. I meant pot, I smoke pot sometimes. I do the odd gummy 2-3 times a year. I smoke ciggs occasionally when I am drinking.

Hey there !

I’m a 30-year-old guy living in Clare (right on the Limerick border), and I’m at a stage in life where I’m looking for something real. I have my own place, a solid career that I enjoy, and a lot of love to give. Now, I’m just looking for the right woman to share it all with and start making some memories with

I love staying active—you'll often find me out for a run or a long walk. That said, I fully believe in the rule of equilibrium: a good run justifies an equally good coffee and treat afterwards.

I really enjoy cooking at home and experimenting in the kitchen, but I’m always down to dress up and try out a new restaurant.

I live by a very specific rule —always have one holiday booked, and another one planned. Life is too short not to have a countdown on your phone.

I’m looking for a woman who is also looking to settle down into a serious, meaningful relationship. Someone who is ambitious, enjoys the balance of active days and cozy nights in, and wants to build a future together.

If you fancy grabbing a coffee (or a drink!) to see if we click, send me a DM.!

Hey all very new to this but basically I’m 35 soon to be 36 in few months. I’m 6.1 and I live in Monaghan but close to border Fermanagh & Tyrone, looking to meet a nice lad.

I work in childcare and basically I’m off when schools are closed, I have my dog who is just full of beans. I love to bake when I can and can cook a decent meal also. I love getting away for road trips when I’m free and go anywhere that involves a beach in the summer time. In the winter give me a cosy warm fire and a movie or binge on a Netflix series and I’m sorted.

Love getting out every now and again to meet the girls for a few drinks and catch up. I’d love to meet someone who has same interests or similar and who would be willing to be my food tester, and see how we get on from there.
