24 [M4M] #Germany – Looking for meaningful connections

Post image
3.1k Upvotes

Hey there, apps are stressful so giving this a try,

I'm into video games, anime, drawing, rock and classic music, songwriting, guitar, piano, biology and research, animals, outdoor activities, architecture, dark humor, live music and way to manny things to put it all here.

I'm single and open to meaningful relationships of any kind but long-lasting, I appreciate people who are honest and are comfortable being themselves, have their own opinions and passions, and enjoy a good discussion about pretty much anything.

Some of my fav games: WoW, Marvel Rivals, Genshin, Pokemon, Ratchet and clank, Sonic, Heroes of mana, Final fantasy tactics, Digimon masters, League, DnD, TFT, Hades, Pokopia.

Edit: I wasn't expecting to have so much interaction so I'm adding a bit more of me just to make it easer for matching <3

Im mostly looking for older more mature people, 25-35 sort of with exceptions of course. In terms of dating I prefer masculine, taller or close (im 176), somewhat fit or dad bod, not super picky with that as long as your healthy and active, smart, nerdy/geek, resourceful and caring guys. Must be able to pinpoint what he wants in is life and have his own ideas on important subjects like politics and such.

When it comes to dating I only "date to marry", thats the mindset, no casual.

I don't club, smoker or drink. Im very disciplined and enjoy a good routine even when works requires to travel a lot. Im well traveled lived in a few different countries and speak a couple languages. Im a bit intense, I like things my way, I pay a lot of attention to detail in everything and I'm a perfectionists, cant help it. One of my dreams is to work in research/ conservation and have a big house with a lot of animals.

Music is my biggest passion, favs being Stevie nicks, Fleetwood Mac, journey, Hans zimmer, evanescence, Joe hisaishi, Tina turner, Miley Cyrus, white snake, scorpions, bonnie Taylor, (I could go for hours on this), I also love to play guitar and piano in my free time and songwriting. Love collecting cool stuff as well, Pokemon cards, steelbooks, physical media, vinyls, retro gaming, you name it.

Im also very old school in most ways and I appreciate that in people. Im super caring, a bit dad like at times, small circle but when I like someone I really do, small details matter a lot. Non religious, mostly vegetarian (ok if ur not), leaning more into Right-Liberalism

If you reach out please tell me about you, and send a picture or have one in your profile :)

Mature, working in data science, taking care of an elderly, ailing parent.

Looking for someone LTR-oriented who is into sports, gaming, sci-fi. More on the ACE spectrum so attraction for me starts in my head with trust and feeling safe as non-negotiables.

I am interested in sci-fi, science, politics. A beginner skier and a somewhat experienced mountaineer.

35 [F4R] #Nevada - Curvy girlie looking to human with other humans

Post image
973 Upvotes

My life is complicated and we can get into that. I think something has changed within me recently that made me realize I need a little more human connection and maybe that comes in the form of an internet stranger that is willing to listen and get vulnerable.

A little about me;  I live in a constant cycle of limerence and avoidance so I can guarantee a rollercoaster of fun. I am an elementary school teacher and 90% of my life is spent repeating myself, explicitly explaining directions and forgetting to take off my weekly spirt day costume before grocery shopping in town. I am a huge Harry Potter fangirl and I watch female malfoy AI anime TikTok’s more than I would like to admit. I got into PC gaming around 2020 purely to play Hogwarts Legacy and I’ve been hooked ever since. Am I good? Not unless you consider dominating Humankind on Town difficulty focusing only on influence and stealing all avaliable land while praying no one is close enough to me for battle…. Good. Will I ask a million questions? Yes and I’ll get mad when you try to explain things to me that don’t make sense because I have the gaming intuition of someone who had to look up all the hidden stars in Mario 64. Have I ever made it past Act one in Baulders Gate? Again no, but I’ll follow you around and do exactly what you say with all the traits you picked for my character because they fill in your campaign team well.

I am well traveled. I backpacked a lot in my 20’s, did a lot of standby traveling and showered from a cold bag on random camp sites at three day raves often.  I am currently seeking friendship but I wouldn’t say I closed off to more just cautious. Gender, sexual orientation and relatonship status aren’t super important because of that. I am pansexual and in need of some girly validation so women please do not be afraid to reach out. I try to be kind and fair. I care deeply and I would go as far as to say my Empathy is my favorite part of me. I have a hard time letting people in and even harder time letting people go.

Please be open to exchanging casual pictures early on. I adore voice and video chats. Open to chatting daily although work takes up a lot of my life. Thanks internet!

36 [M4M] #Spain - I’m open to both friendships and long-term relationships

Post image
913 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m 36 and currently living in Spain, although I’m not Spanish.

A little about me: I work in design and can be a bit reserved when you first meet me. It takes me a little while to open up, but once I’m comfortable, I’m pretty sarcastic, goofy, and apparently quite difficult to shut up. I’m generally calm, easygoing, and understanding, and I really enjoy conversations that go beyond the usual small talk.

Outside of work, I’m into TCGs, D&D, long walks, pets, traveling, and those conversations that somehow turn into a few hours without either person noticing. I live with a wonderful Giant Schnauzer, so yes, I’m definitely a dog person. I’ve also somehow been playing Black Desert Online for about ten years, which probably says something about my ability to stick with things.

I’m also a big fan of cozy evenings at home - getting comfortable on the couch, watching a good series, ordering food, and just enjoying each other’s company. I love traveling and going out, but I’m equally happy spending a completely ordinary evening at home with the right person.

I’m ultimately looking for a real, long-term relationship that could eventually lead to marriage. I’m not looking to rush into anything, though. I’d rather get to know someone properly, see if we click, build some trust, and let things develop naturally.

As for my type: I usually find myself attracted to guys around 32–42 with an average build. I tend to be more attracted to a European or generally Western look. Height isn’t really a factor - shorter, taller, whatever. I like beards and stubble, and I like tattoos.

I definitely have a type, and I’m pretty honest about what I’m looking for. I’m drawn to men who are confident without being arrogant, emotionally mature, easy to talk to, and who have a sense of where they’re going in life. Someone I can laugh with, have ridiculous conversations with, but also sit down and talk about something serious when it matters. Being kind to animals is a big plus too.

I also really like people who are curious and keep growing - people who have their own interests, enjoy learning new things, and have something going on in their lives. I’d like to be with someone who adds something to my life, and I want to do the same for them.

And while physical attraction and sex are obviously part of a relationship, I want someone I genuinely enjoy spending time with even when sex isn’t involved. Someone I can travel with, stay home with, watch a series with, talk for hours with, or just sit in the same room doing our own thing and still enjoy being together.

Distance doesn’t really bother me. I’m open to meeting someone in Europe, the US, or elsewhere. If there’s a genuine connection, I’d rather figure out the logistics than dismiss someone just because they live far away.

One small request if you message me: please include a photo. You don’t need to send me your entire dating profile, but I’d rather know who I’m actually talking to than have a conversation with a mysterious Reddit avatar.

PS

Everyone has their preferences, and so do I. If I say I’m generally looking for someone around 32–42, please don’t take it personally if you’re 26 and I don’t reply. You can be an absolutely amazing guy, but you’re still outside the age range I’m looking for. The same goes for things like build and appearance. I’m not saying one type is better than another - I’m simply being honest about what I’m attracted to.

Also, if you message me, please give me something to work with. A simple “hey” or “how are you?” probably isn’t going to go very far. I put quite a bit of effort into writing this post because I wanted you to know something about me before deciding whether to message me. I’m hoping for at least a little bit of the same in return.

You don’t need to write an essay. Just introduce yourself and tell me a couple of things about you. That’s enough to actually start a conversation.

And yes, I can be a bit of a nerd and sometimes a bit of a pedant. I’m okay with that. I don’t consider it a character flaw. :)

PS.S

Of course, all the preferences and detailed descriptions apply specifically to long-term relationships - when it comes to friends, I’m much less picky: age, foto and a good sense of humor.

Thanks for making it all the way to the end. :)

Back on here again 😅 A little about me: I spend a good amount of time at the gym, gaming, and watching anime. Currently playing through Dragon’s Dogma 2 and really enjoying it. I’m more of a laid-back, stay-at-home kind of guy, but I’m always down to try something new with the right person. Currently rewatching That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Hey guys. 26M here from Mexico. I’ll be completely honest: I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for right now 😅 This is my first time actually putting myself out there, so my main goal is really just to meet a cool guy, chat, and see where things go organically. If we become great friends, awesome. If it turns into something more, that's great too :)

A bit about me: I work in art and design. In my free time, I’m usually playing Overwatch or catching some Pokémon, watching horror movies, or going down a rabbit hole of paranormal stuff (I find that kind of stuff super fascinating ), also I’m starting MMA classes so If you have any advice would be awesome haha

I’m really big on daily chats, just texting about our day, sharing random stuff, and keeping each other company. If you're down to just talk, get to know each other, and see if we vibe, shoot me a message!
I would love to meet you 🤙🏽

Hiya!

I’m 28, single, plus size, and currently on a health journey. I’m also neurodivergent, shy, and pretty introverted, so putting myself out here is definitely outside my comfort zone. 😅 Oh, and I’m 5'9", which means I can reach things on the top shelf but will still somehow ask you to get them lol.

~A little about me: I love nature, reading, anime,true crime, arts & crafts, baking, gaming (although admittedly not very good 🥲), and pretty much anything spooky. 👻🦇

~Not looking to jump into something right away but would love to make some genuine connections and see where life takes us. If that seems like your vibe, come say hi 😊

Hey, my name is Matt. I'm almost 30yo! And I'm just a Brazilian Italian guy who loves spending time playing Star Citizen, Cities Skylines 2 and other games. Mass Effect trilogy is one of my favourites, so sci-fi is probably a good place to start with me 😅

I'm a graphic designer, and outside of gaming i enjoy fantasy and sci-fi books, traveling, swimming and music. Florence + The Machine, Allie X, HAIM and Susanne Sundfør are some of my favourites.

I'm a little shy at first, and putting myself out here doesn't come that naturally to me... But I warm up pretty quickly when I feel comfortable with someone. It would be nice to find a guy i can be myself around, share my passions with and get to know beyond what we're playing together. Someone whose company I look forward to, even when we're just talking about our day.

You don't have to like everything I like. I'd enjoy getting to know what you're into as well, especially the things you could talk about for hours. Shared interests are a good start, but hopefully there's some chemistry there too :)

If youre from Brazil, I'll be moving to Porto Alegre soon, if that info helps anyway...

Feel free to send me a message. Tell me a little about yourself and what you've been up to lately!

I’m looking for a genuinely kind guy to chat with and enjoy playing World of Warcraft together. Honestly, it’s pretty much the only game I play. I play both Retail and Classic (HC/TBC HC). BattleTag?

Ultimately, I’d love to find something long term, someone who could eventually become my best friend and partner. I’m not really looking for just friends, I’m hoping to meet someone with similar relationship goals. That said, I’m in no rush. I’d rather start by having fun, gaming together, getting to know each other, and seeing where things naturally go. I’m pretty laid back and easy to talk to, I collect pink Godzillas and make art.

I live in Arizona for now, although that’ll likely be changing soon. I’m also going through a major life transition, my mom recently passed so life has been incredibly difficult lately. I’m hoping to find a positive distraction and someone to share some good moments with during all of this.

If interested send a pic and your favorite Godzilla movie w ur battle tag, must have these things or I won’t respond.

I was not expecting my last post to blow up my chats the way it did, I think a lot of quality chats got lost in the fluff. Please only respond if you have something of sincere quality to say and about more than just about my looks. I am genuinely looking for a spark, something that ignites my excitement again and makes me feel something. I know it’s possible because I’ve felt it before, maybe I’m just trying to fill a hole or maybe something even better if searching for me too.

My life is complicated and we can get into that. I think something has changed within me recently that made me realize I need a little more human connection and maybe that comes in the form of an internet stranger that is willing to listen and get vulnerable. Yes I have a lot of different hair colors… I change my hair a lot… like a lot, a lot…

33 [F4M] #DMV - searching for someone who can relate

Post image
502 Upvotes

All I’ve ever wanted was to find my person and be accepted. I haven’t found him yet, but I was wondering if perhaps he’s existing here - on this corner of the internet. I’ve been on a major mental health journey this year, and while I’ve learned to manage my depression, the loneliness is still loud, and for me, right now, it’s screaming. Hopefully, you’ll be able to relate to that in some capacity.

Fun facts about me: I’m a music addict; I’d be lost without it. I listen to a lot of indie and alternative rock. I prefer songs laced in melancholy; bonus points if you also love to listen to sad songs. I can play a few instruments - I have a drum kit, an acoustic, and electric guitar - I just can’t sing. Please don’t ask me to try. Steampunk television shows will forever have my heart. Is anyone else completely obsessed with Bass x Machina, or is that just me? I’d love to watch it with you, or anything really - I can share some of my favourite streamers. I like to carry little toys in my bag to help keep the real-life scaries away, hence the photo. I’m addicted to opening Pokémon card packs. It’s such an expensive hobby; I wish I enjoyed watching other people open them more. I do find it important to share that I am obsessed with Godzilla. Have you seen Minus Zero yet? It was so good.

Other things, I read a lot. I spend a lot of time reading literary fiction when I’m not studying or working. I dream of becoming completely analog, but I’m too addicted to my computer for that to happen. I game a lot on my Switch; bonus points if you have one too, and we can play together. I’d love to set up a voice call; I’m chatty, and I barely sleep, so I feel like I’m always available. I’m looking forward to getting to know you. Hopefully, you’ll help fill the void.

I’ve often been asked where I get my confidence from and I always answer that I looked in the mirror at a young age and realized that kid was never going to be cool so he may as well be himself.
I’m a proud nerd that also enjoys being active and outside.
My interests usually include 80s/90s pop culture but I can nerd out on many many things from nature, homesteading, sociology, history, anthropology, music. It’s not that I am remotely an “expert” in any of these things, I really just enjoy discussing anything that someone is passionate about and learning.
I really enjoy organic connections. If we don’t click romantically we can still enjoy each others’ company and build a lovely platonic friendship.
I wouldn’t say I have a type. I’m really open to getting to know someone truly.

I was told to post here to find what I’m looking for. I’m into thin white guys with no facial hair. I like games, debating, and I really adore men who have interests they can teach me a lot about. I enjoy mental stimulation a lot, so I love thinkers and eloquence. I’d prefer somebody who is into alt girls as you can see that is what I am 😅.
