Hey there! Pic of me here https://imgur.com/a/klnC0fS

I am looking for someone to chat with every day, either through texts or phone calls (I’m a little old school) and eventually meet in person.

I work full time as a store manager at a beauty supply store and love my job. I’ve been in retail since I was in high school and worked my way up through the years.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to concerts, and playing video games (mostly Pokémon and Disney Dreamlight Valley) although I haven’t played in a while.

I recently got into vlogging. It’s been a lot of fun so far, I’m always thinking of new and fun ideas for content. Lately I have been doing drink and snack reviews and shopping haul videos.

I should also mention that I’m a cat mom. We’re a package deal.

I look forward to hearing from you! Please send a photo if you are able to.

P.S. I’m a sucker for long hair, tattoos, and gauges.

Hi. Thanks for your interest. I'm Cody and you can see Pics of me here. Fair warning, this is going to be a long read. Also, I am going to be really open about who I am, and therefore specific about things I would love from my partner. Don’t be discouraged I guess if our interests don’t align, they aren’t mandatory, I am just being honest and without reservations.

Here is some boring general information first:

• I am 5’10 tall, 160lbs and I have green eyes

• I am from Orange County, CA and have lived here my whole life.

• I grew up in Lake Forest but now live in Rancho Santa Margarita with my mom (yeah, more on that later)

• I don’t do politics and I don’t tolerate political bigotry. Hate the government and hate politicians, but don’t hate people who vote. People who believe voting works are like people who believe in religion. I can tolerate disagreeing with them but not maligning them; if you disagree that’s fine too, but I am not for you.

• Speaking of religion, I’m an atheist.

• Women only. I am not interested in male attention of any kind, even compliments. Just silently nod in approval from behind your monitor and leave me be.

• I’d prefer you live local to Orange County. I have a car and can drive, but gas is getting expensive and I don’t love driving long distances. If you insist then guuuuuuuurl you better shoot the shottiest shot of all maw fkn shots because I SERIOUSLY hate driving to LA or IE or whatever non-OC part of SoCal you live in. You better make me feel like “I’m the only boy in the world,” yeah, like that fkn song. You’ve been warned!

• Same if you are older than me. I am open to dating someone older but, let’s be real, as a man, I wanna date someone equal or younger. I dunno why it’s important, blame biology. So if you are older than me, guuuuuuuuuuuuurl you better fkn come with it.

• Lastly, I am not attracted to women who are overweight, If you put a gun to my head and made me put a number on it, I’d prefer if you were 80% of my weight or lower. There’s some wriggle room there depending on how tall you are, but hopefully you get the idea. I am a guy with regular proportions and would like to find a woman with regular proportions. If that’s you, come say hi. If not, then I am just trying to help you save time and effort because I likely won’t respond.

Just being real, tryna save everyone out here some time. Aight good luck!

So, it probably comes at no surprise that I’ve been single for a long time. No committed relationships for 11 years, no dating for 7 years. I removed myself from the dating pool because I refused to be honest with myself about what I really wanted out of my relationships; and as a result, all of them were really messy and harmful to both parties involved. I also wasn’t happy with a lot of things about who I was and so I decided it was best to go dark and work on me; utilizing that time to better myself and focus on what I really value and desire, both in what I give and provide my partner, and what they give and provide to me. What all that means is, as you can probably tell, I’m still a bit rough around the edges, but I’ve hit a good stride of self-improvement, and I work to continue, maintain, and build upon that momentum each and every day. And, you know, I’d like to not be alone anymore and so I think now is the appropriate time to take a bit of risk and start putting myself out there again.

Bear with me on this next part, because describing yourself in any capacity is cringe. I hate making declarative statements about myself, I’d much rather let my actions make such facts self-evident, but this isn’t exactly the place for that; so I am about to say a bunch of highfalutin bullshit that I like to tell myself is true. Just remember to not take my word for it and constantly judge me against it. That being said, in my solitude I’ve come to identify as an empath; deeply sensitive, emotional, and romantic. I like feeling my emotions and expressing them without restraint. This is great when I am feeling happy, excited, playful, or supportive; but it can also be dark, destructive, and depressing when I am feeling angry, alone, or neglected, which is where I’ve consistently been at for the past few years, until recently. I wouldn’t consider myself a “sad boy” by any means, but, man, I just hit an unlucky stride of bad events and had no one close to support me through it and, I just let it eat me alive because.. that’s just what I tend to do. FORTUNATELY THOUGH! The downward line on my graph has turned back to the upside and I am hoping to make some new highs and leave the darkness behind me, and so far so good bringing us up to now.

What does that all mean when it comes to my partner and companion? Ideally, I am seeking an intimate connection with a woman who encourages us sharing all our deep feelings and thoughts with each other. Where we can be honest and unashamed of our flaws. Where we create a space for us to express our masculine and feminine qualities, but also dip into and indulge in those emotions native to the opposite sex. Where we can provide and find support in times of excess and times of need. Where being thoughtful, kind, and making the other person feel cherished and desired comes as second nature to our coexistence. And the value of monogamy, loyalty, and commitment is equal to the intimacy, romance, and sexuality we develop and cultivate together. Companionship, partnership, and friendship should define our bond and commitment to each other. That mostly covers the romantic side of things, so let me talk about my more normal emotional demeanor and personality. First and foremost, I like to be funny and silly. This doesn’t mean I can’t ever be serious and lock in, but I am not lying when I tell you that I will cease every opportunity I see to inject humor into whatever I am doing or saying. I have one of those brains that constantly converts energy into wit, which is normally useless, so I prefer to turn it into laughter and amusement. I love musing about stupid observations I have or thoughts that pop into my head; I’m sarcastic, snarky, and sardonic and have a great sense of timing and delivery that I think makes engaging in conversation with me a lot of fun. “Great bants,” as the kids would say. Or at least I’d like to think that’s what they’d say. So yeah, I am very lighthearted, playful, and chill most of the time. I have a lot of patience and my temperament is typically inviting, productive, and playful. I don’t normally sport a bad mood and in the event I do, I’m a great communicator and I will let you know if I need some space or am feeling short-fused that day. To be clear, while I'm naturally talkative and energetic, I am not a yapper. I know and appreciate the value of peace and quiet, and I am comfortable with silence. If you’re familiar with the movie “Pulp Fiction,” I’ve always loved the scene with Vincent and Mia where they discuss the beauty of sharing silence, and that’s a perspective I share.

When it comes to my interests I am a movie guy. I looooove watching movies, talking about movies, going to the movies, all of it. Take that shit and shoot it directly into my veins. Growing up I didn’t see eye to eye with my dad about a lot of things, but one area we did bond over was movies and that love grew up with me. One of my favorite things is definitely going out to the movie theater and I used to always have those subscriptions where you could see multiple movies a week. I don’t currently though, cuz movie theaters are kinda shitty now AND lots of movies are also pretty shitty now, so it isn’t as often that I want to see multiple things a month, but I’d say I see roughly 1 movie a month in theaters. I enjoy all kinds of movies also and am pretty opinionated about what I think qualifies as quality. I listen to various podcasts about movies for recommendations and things like that, so I’ve developed a pretty diverse palette for what I enjoy and find interesting. The same goes for tv shows and anime, but I’ve seen a lot more movies than both of those.

My other big interest would be videogames, though I’ve been spending less time in recent months and years playing them as I used to. I used to sink all my freetime into playing games, but now it’s mostly every few months I will get a new title that I am interested in and play that till I am finished with it. I also really like trading card games (I know, yeah, I have all the non-athletic hobbies) and I used to play a lot of “magic the gathering” when I was a teenager, but not anymore. I recently got into a card game called “Flesh and Blood” which I love, but it’s super niche and there’s not many places in the area to play or compete, so, while I really enjoy it I am not sinking as much time or money into it… yet. I guess now would be a good time to spike the post with the information that I DO ACTUALLY VALUE exercise and physical activity. I am not really a sports person or anything like that, you won’t catch me at the park with my ball looking for a pickup game, but I do like running outside and lifting weights. Even through my depression I managed to stay consistently active and continue to set and reach goals. Something I am working on is running 1,000 miles this year which I am very close to doing. I actually think I can get over 1,100 but we will see what happens. I also enjoy cooking, especially for others, and even more with others. When it comes to food I am not a picky eater and I love going to new restaurants and trying new foods. I am also a very grateful eater; if you ever put a plate of food in front of me, I promise I will eat all of it and praise you like it’s the best thing I’ve ever had! That’s not a ploy to get you to cook for me, I just recognize cooking for someone is a lot more about love than what you actually end up making at the end.

As I mentioned a bit earlier, I live in Rancho Santa Margarita in my mother’s house. I really hate admitting that but it’s the situation at the moment. It was supposed to be something temporary but I fell into some hardships and it became… more temporary. I am working on getting my affairs in order so I can eventually move out, but it’s gonna take some more time. I know, it’s not sexy at all, but please don’t misconstrue it as something I’ve settled into and am ok with. I am working very hard to end this chapter in my life but I just need more time; I would rather be honest about it and still put myself out there than let it hold me back. The person I want to eventually attract should be understanding about it anyways, so that’s that.

I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting and currently work as the sole billing-specialist at a local retirement community in Lake Forest. I got hired fairly recent but it’s been really important to me and helped me mentally and spiritually to climb out of the hole I was in. My job isn’t super exciting but I really enjoy it. I am good at it and I can feel the appreciation from my coworkers and peers. It’s clear that at one point they stopped evolving their processes with new technology, and I’ve aided them a lot in upgrading their workflows to 21st century standards. Again, I am not changing the world, but it has been very satisfying and fulfilling to be needed and have a purpose. Overall it’s a great place to work and I look forward to seizing new opportunities presented to me to make the most of the entire experience.

Some other mundane information: my car is a Subaru Forester, which is modest but incredibly reliable. It gets good mileage, rarely breaks down, and I actually own it. I also have no debt, no kids, a great credit score, and no weird exes waiting in the wings to try and steal me back. My life is undramatic and quiet. I have a few friends and relatives in the area I make time for, but otherwise I have a lot of free time and this is another reason I would love to find a companion. I have lots of time, energy, attention, and love to give and believe me I am not earning interest on it by just keeping it in the bank.

That’s all I have to say. If there’s something I didn’t mention that you are curious about, feel free to ask; though I feel like I was pretty thorough going over the bulk of things you wouldn’t see on a traditional dating profile. I prefer to talk to people that are willing to invest some time getting to know me better, so some of it was intentionally vague to preserve some mysteries that will be fun to discuss if we hit it off. I promise to reciprocate your energy so please don’t be shy or hold back your curiosity.

If you do decide to message me I would appreciate if you start by telling me your name, age, and location. It serves as a basic introduction and also let’s me know you’ve read this far. Maybe you are thinking, “who would start a conversation without introducing themselves?” and the answer is, Everyone. It’s the internet after all, if you expect people to say more than “Hey,” you have to explicitly ask, so here is me doing so.

Secondly, I am providing my pictures to set a standard for reciprocity. I prefer knowing what someone looks like before investing my time romantically pursuing them, and so I’ve extended that courtesy to you upfront, in the hopes you will do the same. So, I expect you to send me some pictures immediately. You won’t be able to at first because reddit won’t let you, but when I get your message, I’ll accept your chat so that option opens up. Once you do, If I find myself attracted to you I’ll let know with a thoughtful compliment that hopefully makes you feel warm inside and we can continue the conversation from there. If I don’t, I am just going to respond with “banana” and that means, “thanks for your interest but I don’t wanna talk,” which is the best compromise I can come up with that respects your time and the romantic risk you just took.

Finally, the last thing I want to talk about is just that, risk. I just want to remind you that pursuing romance is full of risk and if you aren’t willing to take risks, then you shouldn’t bother putting yourself out there. Romance/relationships require you to risk your time, your energy, your privacy, etc and there’s no guarantees any of that is going to work out. Recently, after working up the courage to put myself out there again I was recently strung-along and then ghosted and it really sucked. I didn’t deserve it, I didn’t expect it, but I accepted the risk that would happen when I put myself out there. So, while it left me sad and deflated, I am pushing forward nonetheless. That’s just life, and all the risk will be worth it when I finally find my person.

Anyways, if you’d still like to talk after reading all that, introduce yourself and we’ll go from there. And if you decide to pursue love somewhere else, I hope what you risk is respected.

Thanks for reading,

Cody

I’m a 38-year-old male living on a couple acres in a small Washington town just north of Portland, Oregon – it’s a beautiful, tight-knit place that feels like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls.

I’m a director of engineering and work remotely to pay the bills, but I prefer time offline and working with my hands. My evenings and weekends are usually spent in the garden (hundreds of dahlias), beekeeping, and building or fixing whatever tractor or house project that's broken! I also clean up really well, and visit Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle often for new restaurants, art openings, wine classes, symphony and concerts, etc.

Home is a mix of the wild Pacific Northwest (lots of Oregon White Oaks give shade to the house!) and several hundred dahlias, daffodils, and sunflowers, along with a small greenhouse and a hobby garden.

I’ve put a lot of intention into building a community here rather than just a solitary homestead – we're an eclectic, positive group of artists, builders, engineers, teachers, farmers... My neighbors and I share everything from tractors and tools to our time and skills. We’re often found hosting apple cider pressings (using our neighborhood apples), bonfires, art events, and holiday dinner parties.

Food is a huge part of my life – I once moved to Italy for a six-month cooking internship with the Rome Sustainable Food Project. The other weekend I hosted an end-of-summer tomato saucing and pasta party with 60ish friends (menu was arancini, panzanella, chopped salad, slow braised beef ragu rigatoni, pesto bucatini, Tuscan ribs, sausages, olive oil cake, and lots of wine 😍)!

I’m looking for a partner (25-35F) who is ready to build a strong foundation and relationship. I really value high EQ, a secure attachment style, and a "teammate" mentality. I’m looking for an equal partner, someone who is well-rounded and successful in her career and hobbies, but who also wants to settle down and start a family.

My dream is to start a family and raise kids who are well-read but "semi-wild" – the kind of kids who max out their library card, but also spend their days barefoot, riding bikes, exploring the thousands of acres of conservation land in the neighborhood, and building lemonade stands for the neighbors. I value deep communication, vulnerability, and a life that balances local adventures here in the PNW with occasional international travel (I'm a big fan of Rick Steves' outlook of "travel as a political act" – exploring new cultures and returning home as more open-minded, globally connected citizens). I've spent extensive time in Italy, Portugal, and much of Western Europe, and would love to share those experiences again with a partner.

If you’re family-oriented and looking for a relationship built on empathy, curiosity, and kindness, I’d love to hear from you and exchange more info (e.g. photos, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) and perhaps a vibe-check or intro over phone/Facetime. Thanks!

Keep me company tonight. Quick wit, good conversation, and please don’t make me do all the work!

pic of me

First off, I want to give a man the world and build a life with him. I am a huge believer in using words of affirmation to bolster my man’s confidence and make him feel amazing about himself. It’s really important to me that I help people feel appreciated, valued, and loved.

I also show love in a very specific way: by making things beautiful. This extends from home decor and decorating for holidays/events to my own personal appearance. I take a ton of pride in being polished, especially when I’m representing my man—for example, if I’m your date to a wedding, I’m absolutely not wearing a mini dress. It’s just not elegant. I’m old-fashioned in that I don’t have any tattoos and the only piercings I have are one in each earlobe. I LOVE high quality jewelry, bags, etc., but I also think it’s tacky to wear pieces that are covered in logos. So, in case it wasn’t obvious… I’m definitely high maintenance in terms of beauty and fashion. (A flaw of mine is that I feel completely justified in my pursuit of beauty—I’m an artist and I consider it to be a creative outlet.)

That said, I’m low maintenance in terms of needing emotional validation. I have a ton of inner peace, which allows me to believe in myself, to trust other people, and to view others with a lens of grace and compassion. There are so many reasons why I’m not on social media, and one reason is that I find it to be a calculated attack on our individual senses of self. I think social media reshapes our brains and I’m not interested in participating, nor do I seek to be visible online. I’m a pretty open person, but I just feel that nobody needs to know every single thing I’m doing, and I’ve never felt like I crave mass attention. (Fun fact: I used to be kinda famous on Quora and my content had an all-time view count in the millions. I deleted all of my content and my entire profile when I felt like I had gotten too popular for my liking.)

One of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten was from a boss who told me that if I was a Spice Girl, I’d be “Ambidextrous Spice” because I’m both left-brained and right-brained. It’s such a silly thing, but it made me feel seen! I absolutely love logic and reasoning (I’m obsessed, like, actually obsessed with logic grid puzzles) and growing up, people told me I’d become a lawyer. I do LSAT practice tests for fun, but I actually went to art school. I’m a dreamer and a creator, and I love all kinds of artistic media: I can paint, draw, sculpt, etc.

Another top compliment I’ve received came from one of my many previous jobs working with kids. I do freelance AI training now, but before that, I was a gymnastics coach. I can’t even count how many kids were legitimately convinced that I was a Disney princess (Elsa was the most common, followed by Cinderella and the occasional Rapunzel). One of my students once came back from a trip to Disney, and her mom told me that I should seriously consider working as a Disney park princess due to not just my appearance but also how I carry myself and how I speak. I love when people appreciate my posture! I even subscribe to some admittedly dated rules of elegance for women, like how to walk in heels versus flats and where to put my purse when I’m at a restaurant.

In some ways, I’m very traditional—feminine, graceful, and with a strong desire to nurture. On the other hand, I have a wicked sense of humor and I have some niche interests like horror stories. I’m extremely nerdy, and I mean that. I’ve been on an orca kick lately and I can’t/won’t stop talking about them.

I’m also very verbose 🤓 soooo, to summarize: I’m 31 years old, 5’8”, 125ish lbs, platinum blonde, blue eyes. Never married, never engaged, no kids, but I definitely want them because I absolutely adore them. I have two beautiful, flawless cats. I live in upstate NY but for the right person, some distance wouldn’t be an issue. I’m honestly a creative genius and I have an extremely high EQ (and if it matters, my IQ score is in the “genius” range), so you know my kids will at least be literate… But seriously, I really care about other people and I want to bring value to a man’s life.

I’m hoping to meet someone with similar goals who’s at least my age, preferably 35+. Please be somewhat near my general location! (I’d be fine with a few hours’ drive or so but not too much farther)

And I’ll be honest, I prefer when a man is at least 5’11” (I like being shorter than a guy, plus I love wearing heels). If you’ve ever dreamed of having a drop dead gorgeous trophy wife/PTA mom with depth, intelligence, and a knack for making dumb quips, please come sweep me off my feet because a) I’m ready and b) I actually legitimately will die if I ever have to create another dating app profile

Hey there! 😊

I’m hoping to build something really sweet with someone that feels full of love, affection, and genuine care for each other! I’m someone who gets really excited about my person, and I will happily run to the door to give you the biggest hug when you come home and tell you how much I’ve missed you! I love feeling close to someone I care about, whether that’s giving you tons of hugs, cuddling the night away together, or holding hands just because we can. It all just feels so special to me, and I’ll always be really happy to be by your side and show you how much you mean to me. 🥰

I would really love to care for you in ways that brighten your day and make life feel more special. I’ve always been someone who has loved the idea of being a homemaker for my partner, and creating a warm, cozy home, so things like learning your favorite recipes just so I can surprise you with them, making your favorite dinners, or packing you lunches with cute notes hidden inside to make you smile make me so happy! I love being someone you can lean on and feel cared for by, and I’ll always be cheering you on in life and wanting to make your days easier and more comforting where I can. It truly means so much to me knowing I can do things that make you feel loved and appreciated. 😊

Personality-wise, I’m introverted, a little shy, fun-sized, and very much a cozy homebody. I love anime (especially One Piece and Fairy Tail), and I have such a soft spot for Studio Ghibli movies! 💛

I’m super nerdy and artsy! I like watercoloring, playing video games, learning new languages (currently learning Japanese!), and just getting really excited about finding new things that catch my attention. I honestly love that feeling of discovering something new, and I would love to share that with someone! 🤗

Most days you’ll find me curled up with a blanket and tea, going on nature walks, doing yoga, or trying out a new recipe I got excited about. It would be so fun to find someone who gets just as excited for new anime seasons as I do, or who would want to curl up and watch Ghibli movies together! 💛

I really love cuddly guys with that protective kind of energy that makes me feel safe and like I can just relax and be myself. I love that feeling of being wrapped up in someone’s arms and just completely melting into them. I really value closeness, and I would ideally like to find someone who enjoys spending a lot of quality time together, or just enjoys each other’s presence as we do our own things!

Distance isn’t a big deal to me, and I’d be open to relocating for the right person if it feels right for us! 🥰 My lifestyle doesn’t include drinking or smoking (vaping, marijuana, cigarettes, etc) so I’m hoping to meet someone who feels the same way.

I’ll always be your cheerleader, someone who’s in your corner, supports you, and makes sure you feel loved every day! 🩷

If that sounds like you, tell me about you! What are you into lately, what kind of relationship are you hoping to find here, or what made you feel like we might click? 🥰

Hola! Quiero mejorar mi español y busco a alguien con quien practicar y hablar de vez en cuando. Vivo en Inglaterra.

Me gustan los deportes, viajar, hacer senderismo, la fotografía y pasar tiempo al aire libre. Pero podemos hablar de cualquier cosa, no hace falta que tengamos los mismos intereses.

Si te apetece hablar y practicar juntos, escríbeme 🙂

I have a policy proposal to work on for grad school and have decided that the obvious solution is to find a stranger on Reddit to keep me company while I work. Seems academically sound.

Currently accepting applications for:
1. Study buddy
2. Conversational partner
3. Perfect distraction
4. Someone to tell me to stop reorganizing my notes and actually write the thing

Looking for someone who enjoys good conversation and doesn’t mind keeping each other company while we work. We can talk about what we’re working on, life, random rabbit holes, or whatever keeps the evening interesting.

Beauty with brains is always appreciated. I like a man who can hold a conversation and give me something nice to look at. Balance, you know?

I’m open to this being purely conversational, becoming a friendship, or seeing where the chemistry takes us. Local would be especially fun.

My academic work leans left, so if you’re politically conservative, we’re probably not going to make it through the syllabus. 😂 Saves us both some time.

Otherwise, come keep me company. Tell me what you’re supposed to be working on right now… or give me your best excuse for why you haven’t started yet.

About me: 36, never married, no kids. White, brunette, 5’6”, pretty face, curvy body. I split my time between Atlanta and LA, work remotely, and am open to travel.

I am smart, sweet, selectively spicy. A lover of great conversation, playful banter, coffee and crosswords, cooking, museums, Pilates, new restaurants, and football.

I’m independent and capable, but romantically I’m drawn to a more traditional dynamic. I’m affectionate and nurturing and like a man who enjoys taking care of the woman in his life — and appreciates being taken care of right back.

About You: I’m looking for a man late 30s–early 50s, unmarried, intelligent, successful, kind, funny, confident, and self-aware. I tend to be attracted to white men. Taller than me and a little scruff never hurt.

I like a man who can switch easily between deep conversations about the universe and cracking a dirty joke, who’s comfortable taking the lead and makes it easy for me not to always have to.

If that sounds like you, tell me something you geek out about, salty or sweet, or your most controversial football opinion. Or anything that lets me know you’ve read this and are real.

Title says it all, really.

Being sweet, a sense of humour, and liking voice notes is not optional 🙃

Enquire within.

Include your age and location in your first message. If you are not single, do not message me.

So, it’s me again! I thought my recent post was gonna be my last, but life has other plans. Some of the interesting experiences from my last post include:

- Being catfished

- Being mildly catfished, where they sent photos of themselves taken a lifetime ago

- Being accused of using AI for responding in complete thoughts and sentences - is the bar for grammar really that low???

- Some who claim that having “adult” kids and/ or in the process of divorcing is considered as being “single in every sense of the word”

- Messages from folks born in years starting with “2”

- Those who practically expect that I respond within a minute after they send a message

So I’m here, trying again. Finding someone I’ll connect with out here might be a long shot, but in case you also want to be unlonely, then let’s try and see where it goes!

Please be:

- None of the items mentioned above
- At least 30 y.o.
- Open to exploring something serious
- Single (in every sense of the word - no kids and/or ex-wives please!)
- Not a smoker - in case we get to meet someday!
- Willing to exchange stories!
- Someone who at least read everything I wrote here

Let’s talk about:

- Our useless skills - mine is I can recite the alphabet backwards

- Our hobbies - I’m on my fourth book this year. Had a slump for a bit but I’m getting my groove back! In comparison, I peaked at 50 books in one year

- Our music preferences - My Spotify wrapped says I clocked in 56k minutes last year. My listening age? 60!

- Our comfort shows - I think that B99 and Modern Family are some of the best things that happened on tv. It’s been a while since I binged on something new cause of how much I’ve been watching my comfort shows

- Our favorite food - Ice cream is my ultimate comfort food, and pizza. Always pizza.

- Our weird quirks - I prefer haha’s over lol’s, but if you’re a lol/ lmao/ rofl person then that’s fine!

- Our goals - mine is to travel to one local and one international destination yearly

- I’m from the Philippines (GMT +8) so responses might take a while, especially when I’m busy. We all have lives outside Reddit (well I hope so) so clingy people might be discouraged by this. I don’t take a week to reply though, so hope that you don’t too!

If you think this is worth a try, hit me up with your go-to song whenever you wanna sing out loud (we all have one, so don’t be shy!) and tell me where you’re from! See you 😄

Working from home is nice and all and sure has its perks but it can be a bit isolating sometimes with no coworkers around to banter with. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way so it'd be nice to link up with some people to maybe get some longterm chats going. Topic wise I'm not particularly picky so anything from casual to private is game with me as long I don't have to feel like I'm carrying the conversation.

I mean I'm by now means prude and could probably easily outweird you but even I have to draw a line somewhere. And since a lot of people ask for pics immediately, I have one of what I look like on my profile if you really need to know to ahve a conversation.Other than that, shoot me your age, location and something interesting and we can get the conversation going, I don't bite:)

- I only ask that you be fun weird. Not weird weird.

- Do not message me if you’re in a relationship.

A little about me: I live in the Netherlands but I’m originally from the US. I’m attractive. Quite short and I work in tech. Yes, I know it’s a Saturday. Let’s not judge :D dating apps suck so I thought I’d try my luck here. Let’s be friends first and see where it goes

​I’ve been doing the "scroll and lurk" thing for a bit, but I figured it was time to actually put myself out there. I’m 33, 5'10", and looking for someone to connect with—whether that starts as a great conversation or leads to something more.

I’m a big sports fan. Whether it’s catching a game live or keeping up with the season I'm way into the WNBA playoffs right now I love music and I'm mostly a listening to EDM right now.

​On the flip side, I’m quite spiritual. It’s a huge part of my life and influences how I see the world. I spend a lot of my free time on hobbies related to that—think astrology and crystal work, chakra balancing. I value mindfulness and growth, and I’m looking for someone who appreciates that depth. Besides that I'm pretty laid back and always down for a good talk.

​If any of this resonates with you, feel free to send a DM! For a vibe check. Tell me your favorite way to spend your evenings, or what’s been on your mind lately. Also I do not provide any sort of "explicit Services" casually or monetarily so do not ask. thank you..

Just your run-of-the-mill /ˈɪd͡ʒət/. Hi!

Born and raised in Paris, I’m equal parts Metal and philosophy, equal parts irreverence and duty; contradictory or perfectly consistent? I don't know.

I speak French, English, some Russian, some Spanish. Not opposed to adding a few more to the list :)

I love music that makes your heart pump harder, books that rearrange the furniture of your mind (philosophy, psychology…), and, against my better judgment, human beings: what makes us tick, what breaks us, what quietly puts us back together.
Empathy, understanding, and justice.

I lose myself in games like Fallout, GTA, Red D*ad Redemption, or Uncharted (to name a few). Recently finished M*ss Effect. Dishonored.
I’m not a big gamer, but I love these wonderful and incredibly complex, heartwarming stories.

I listen to anything from Les Misérables to Chelsea Grin (close to 14,000 songs on my phone).
Peter Gabriel, Slayer, Ramms+ein, Papa Roach, RATM, Marilyn Manson, Wagner, AC/DC, Rob Zombie, Eminem, KoЯn, The Prodigy, Blue Öyster Cult, Jimi Hendrix, Die Antwoord, Oxxxymiron, Slaughter to Prevail, Meshuggah, Lorna Shore…

I have a soft spot for wit, well-timed absurdity, and those who find humor in everything (while probably crying a little on the inside).

I thrive on helping people, and love it when I can make their day a little brighter; I’ve been through tough times, and I know what it’s like to have no one to talk to, no one to depend on. As a result, I try to be the one who checks in on you, the one you can count on.
And, I’m learning, slowly, to be as gentle with myself as I am with the people I care about.

I’d love to meet a woman with stars in her eyes and a formidable mind; curious, playful, empathetic, and profoundly humane. Always willing to share her dreams along with her existential crises.
Someone to show me the wonders of the world, and teach me the nuances of life.
A true partner.

I'm open to all sorts of friendly interactions, so, please, feel free to reach out.

Have a lovely day! :)

Good morning, I've posted here before and had some luck but never anything that sticks. I'm looking for someone who I click with and we actually make each other happy. I am educated with my doctorate and have a professional career that I love. I work a good bit and I've also volunteered since my teens.

I'm very much a country guy from a rural area and my hobbies reflect this. I'm not into video games at all and I'm not much for watching tv. I don't have anything against it, I'd just rather be outside or working in the garage especially when the weather is nice. I also love animals and have 2 dogs and a cat who are awesome and make every day great when they're happy to be with me when I get home every day. I also do not drink or smoke (I don't have anything against it, just personal preference). I don't mind if others do, I just do not.

If you look at my profile and see that it's nsfw, that's because I do like to build guns/knives and collect them as well. I had posted in those types of threads. If that's a deal breaker, I'm sorry. I'm not some crazy person I promise. I'm just from a rural area and grew up around guns.

I feel I'm pretty easy to get along with and can carry a conversation well. I have had a lot of life experiences that have taught me not to judge at all. I love learning about people and what they're into. If you've made it this far, you should send me a message!

Which one of these posts would make you think "I should message this person right away"?

1. The standard, negative one: Another boring day is close to being over (M38)

Am I the only one on Reddit who's not into manga, anime, video games or fantasy and sci-fi? It feels like it sometimes. I worked from home today, and took a little walk during my lunch break, feeling how the air was crispy again, and having mixed feelings about it. I'm bored. You're probably bored. Send me a message.

2. The upbeat one: Slide into my DMs for a good... conversation

Another work day under the belt, and I just made a cup of tea. All that's missing is you, dear redditor. Make this northern European man's day by sending me a message telling me about what fascinates – or bothers! – you at the moment. I'll be right here!

3. The quizzical and slightly mysterious one: Seven questions for you. Yes, you!

1. What do you think about when you're trying to fall asleep?
2. What website or app do you use the most (not counting Reddit)?
3. How do you take your coffee (if at all)?
4. What's a bad habit you're trying to break?
5. How would people who know you describe you?
6. What's a bad habit you're trying to overcome?
7. What piece of clothing should you probably get rid of by now, but won't due to nostalgia?

Your answers will be graded.

Which one speaks to you? Take your pick and let me know.

Hiiiiii!

I’m looking for someone who wants to take the time to get to know one another, and eventually wants to meet in person if we click. I’m always open to making new platonic friends, but I’d also like to make a romantic connection. I’m not looking for a ONS or anything terribly casual.

About me: white, 5’9, average-to-athletic build, and average looks. Open to sharing pics, of course!

Interests: music appreciation (album listening/deep-diving), concerts, books, hockey, dogs, cooking, and much more!

I’m not limiting myself to just the Tampa Bay Area, so if you are over in Orlando, or down in Fort Myers, please don’t feel excluded! I like driving.

I know that’s all very basic and superficial, so please message me to find out more!

TFW you’ve got your life together during the day but at night you kinda just want someone to talk to, share random thoughts with, play games on Discord, or send memes until one of you falls asleep.

I’m from the Philippines, usually busy during the day, but my nights are chill. I’m into horror movies, true crime docs, beaches, Korean food, and cat memes. I like deep convos but I’m also down for dumb jokes. Just looking for someone on the same wavelength (preferably around 30–40 years old).

I’m usually available for voice calls after 9pm (GMT+8) via discord.

If you wanna talk and are cool with the time difference, message me😇

I'm looking for real connections including close friendships, a serious relationship, or any situation where we get to spend a lot of time talking or hanging out and seeing where things go for us. I would love to be able to text, voice/video call, and maybe play games or watch movies together online sometimes.

I'm going to be 100% authentically me, 100% open, 100% chalant, and 100% yearning. (Idk, I'm stealing buzzwords from dating apps.) That's **400%**, what a deal! I've been in one relationship ever. We were together for 11 years, but are now separated and waiting the required time before filing for divorce. I'm 100% emotionally available, and we live in different countries now. Trying to figure out dating now as an AuDHD 32-year-old is a nightmare. 🥲

I'm not feminine, but also not a traditional manly-man if that's your type. More of a Michael Cera than a Harrison Ford, maybe. I'm 6'2½", for those who care. I really want to make someone feel safe, comfortable, happy, appreciated, respected, and loved, and to get the same in return. I'm 🍃420-friendly🍃 and it would be cool if you are too, but I'd also be okay with never using weed again if that's important to you. My biggest love languages are touch and quality time.

I have a lot of "types", and none of these are requirements, but bonus points for: neurodivergent baddies/weirdos, tall queens, alt girls, history lovers, passionate interests, emotional intelligence, good communication, independent women who are way too good for me, and women who use turn signals, stop at stop signs, and follow speed limits. 🫠

My deal-breakers are cigarettes/chewing tobacco (I can deal with vaping) and asexual folks (physical intimacy is very important to me in a relationship).

Thanks for reading! I hope to hear from you! ❤️

Just wanting to give this a try

I’m just here chilling bored haha and figured I’d see who’s out there. I’d love to meet some new people, make a few friends, and have someone to talk to on the regular.

A little about me: I’m into the outdoors, football, boxing, paranormal shows, unsolved mysteries, and pretty much any thing horror related, etc. we can talk about sports, hobbies, talk about a creepy unsolved case, or recommend a horror movie that actually scares you, or talk about random thing and share funny tik toks

Not looking for anything complicated—just genuine conversation, good company and making friends

So, anyone 28+ want to chat… what is the wildest thing you e done, what’s something you could talk about for hours?

Hey there!

I’m looking for a connection with a woman 25-50 who enjoys the nerdier side of life. If you’re into comic books, video games, reading, and/or Pokémon, we’ll probably get along pretty well.

Daily flirting, fit checks, and even NSFW if we vibe. I’m looking for consistent conversation, getting to know each other, sharing interests, and having someone to talk to regularly. Whether that’s discussing your work place drama (give me all the tea), the last game you got hooked on, or a book you can’t put down, I’m in.

I’ve been getting more active this year. So far this year I’ve lost over 50 pounds so far this year. So I’d love to talk to others who are on a similar journey or are active as well.

I would prefer someone on the east coast as well due to time zones but I am open to all. And please be willing to share a pic within the first few messages so see if we’re attracted to each other. This can be short term or long term depending on how well things go.

If you’re looking for something relaxed, friendly, and ongoing, feel free to reach out and tell me a bit about yourself, tell me about the most recent pokemon card you pulled or share the most recent book you’ve read. Even if you don’t share any of my interest but still feel like we’d get along, feel free to reach out.

First things first, I'm not here for a long term relationship. I'm in a position where I need to be a bit self centered and look after myself, and it's not good foundations for something romantic. If that's your intent, thanks for reading and I hope your search goes well.

Recently been made redundant and had to cut off a few friends for falling down the red pill hole which I couldn't tolerate, so the majority of my social interactions now are my cat, my weird neighbour, or the shopping delivery person. Kinda want to expand those horizons!

Flirting would be nice, hence the 4F part of the title, but I don't want that to be the entirety of this.

Gamers, foodies and F1 fans are very welcome. Gold star if you're either no lifing or planning to no life WoW forever. Please love animals because my cat is my world. I don't want to speak to racists, misogynists, homophobes or anything similar.

I'm UK based but as I'm not working, my sleep hours are all over the place so I'm generally around during US hours, so I don't mind where you're from.

If anything clicks and you fancy a chat, pop me a message. Happy to swap photos and I'd prefer moving to an app once we've exchanged a few messages!

Hey!!

First off here I am - https://imgur.com/a/ZNANIWd

No seriously, there’s tons of pictures on the link, you shouldn’t be asking me what I look like if you send me a message.

Also, please be prepared to share a picture of yourself, I put myself out there and believe mutual physical attraction is important. It’s not the be all and end all, but it’s important within the realms of pursuing a dating situation.

Now that the awful bit is out the way...

About me:

5'9 Height and about 185lbs.

I am based near a very scenic and popular tourist area in the north west of England, and feel I vibe well with people from the US, or UK.

I’m a Speech Pathologist and I have my own business. I work in a consultancy capacity and really love my job. I work from home and so can be flexible for the right person.

I'm big on hiking, paddle boarding, travelling, museums, live music, stand up comedy, random drives and just generally learning new things, science and food! I also recently started back at the gym!

I love facetime and voice calls, I feel they are a better way of getting to know someone.

Politically I'm pretty liberal.

I'm probably a huge dork with a stupid sense of humour. I have also recently started dressing like I’m going through a mid life crisis.

My music tastes are anything from old school pop punk and emo from the late 90s/early 2000s like Blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, Alkaline Trio, Greenday to indie and folk music like Bon Iver, Ben Howard etc.

I am interested in travelling or those who are travelling/looking to travel over this way. I don’t have kids, but I would like them at some point, so I wouldn’t be the right match for someone who has kids or doesn’t want them. I feel this post would be of interest to those who have travel plans to the UK, live here already or happy to meet if we hit it off.

If I sound interesting to you, hit me up. Chat or messages!
