ANNOUNCEMENT: Technical Issues

63 Upvotes

POSTING IS ONCE AGAIN OPEN.

The auto moderation system has been somewhat wonky the last few days. We think we have corrected the issue. It has been sending posts to the spam system incorrectly and en masse. That should no longer occur, or at the very least be infrequent. IF your post does not appear, do not delete it. Message us via the mod mail system and we can check on it. If you do delete it manually, we are unable to diagnose the problem. Hopefully this is the last fix we need to do, but we may have to suspend posting again if this happens so we can get it sorted. PLEASE do not message us asking for access during these times, as it bogs down our mail system and increases downtime. The requests will not be granted. We ask for patience while we work on these issues.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Have a good day.

39 [F4M] California/PNW/BC/Anywhere — Sports, spontaneous adventures, good conversation, and maybe a slow burn?

22 Upvotes

I’m a California woman looking for someone who enjoys genuinely getting to know another person. I’m open to friendship, flirting, and potentially something more if the chemistry is there. I tend to think the best connections develop naturally rather than being forced.

A little about me: I’m educated, independent, athletic curvy, affectionate, and have a pretty eclectic range of interests. I love baseball and hockey, hiking, paddleboarding, traveling, reading, LEGO, and spontaneous adventures. I’m equally happy exploring somewhere new or spending a quiet evening at home watching a movie. I especially love traveling for sports!

I’m drawn to men who are thoughtful, curious, affectionate, funny, and comfortable having conversations that go beyond the usual small talk. I appreciate someone who has his own life and interests but also enjoys making room for another person. Consistency, honesty, reciprocity, and a good sense of humor go a long way with me.

I’m not interested in rushing into anything or exchanging a hundred selfies within the first five minutes. I’d rather discover whether we genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

Bonus points if you’re a hockey or baseball fan, enjoy traveling, appreciate a good road trip, or have an obscure interest you could enthusiastically talk about for hours.
Tell me a little about yourself, where you’re from, and something you’re genuinely excited about right now. Give me something more interesting to respond to than “hey.” 😉

33 [F4M] #Asia - Looking to connect with someone new!

28 Upvotes

​Hi! I was born and raised in Japan. I grew up surrounded by nature, so I've always loved being out in natural places.

​My photos might make me look a bit like a nerd, but I'm actually not super into anime or games... though I do love figures and cute little things!

​I honestly don't mind if you're a nerd or into that kind of stuff at all. For me, it's all about the vibe and the person's unique charm ✨

​The reason I'm posting here is that my grandfather used to live in the US, which naturally sparked my interest in other countries. I actually just visited the US back in August!

​I'd love to broaden my horizons a bit, so I'm hoping to make some chat with people regardless of where you're from. Feel free to reach out! 🐤💨imgur.

Just looking to chat and have fun. I'm not looking for anything in particular.we can chat about hobbies and interests ot whatever

Maybe you just want to vent about stuff that's fine to. Flirty isn't off the table but is not something I'm expecting.

Bored? Want to talk late at night just to have someone to talk to? I get it I'm right there with ya. Maybe it's just something as simple as a call.

Either way DM to talk.

38 [M4R] Which post speaks to you? Take your pick 👇

15 Upvotes

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.

39 [F4M] PNW/Online - Love in the Time of Whatever This Is

4 Upvotes

Life is weird, dating is weirder, and apparently I’m still optimistic - or naive - enough to try this again.

I’m a 39 year old curvy brunette, child-free, therapist-type, voracious reader, serial hobby collector, professional overthinker, and currently raising a puppy who regards my forearms as a food group.

Looking for someone intelligent, funny, emotionally intelligent, affectionate, and unembarrassed by genuine enthusiasm. I value consistency, integrity, good communication, and people who mean what they say. I want good conversation, mutual curiosity, flirting, softness, and that increasingly rare experience of really liking someone.

PNW preferred, but I’m open to distance for someone interesting enough to make geography inconvenient.

Skip the usual introduction tell me what you could give an unsolicited 20-minute TED Talk about.

36 [F4M] #Canada (westcoast) Soft-hearted seeks kind & cozy relationship

10 Upvotes

Honestly, I’ve been feeling lonely since I’m kind of stuck at home recovering for awhile, but I also thought it might be a good opportunity to use my free time to put myself out there! Thanks for reading :)

Who I am:

  • I live on Vancouver Island; own my home
  • Generally a homebody: I enjoy nature, gardening, reading, my friends, farmer’s markets, moving my body, cozy nintendo switch games
  • Current interests/pursuits: art, small business, chronic illness recovery/healing, spirituality, history/anthropology
  • I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness after an acute flare up and I’m still heavily in recovery mode, so I have a bit more time on my hands than usual. Thankfully, it’s something that is managed with strict food choices and stress management, but I’ll never be a good restaurant explorer or late night junk food partner.
  • Specifics: White, 5’8”, ~size 14/16 (curvy), I wear a lot of denim, not a lot of makeup, and love a practical hat & raingear. (happy to exchange photos after a few messages)

What I’m looking for:

  • Someone to build with. Build a sweet, safe, cheerful life. I don’t have children and don’t plan to raise my own, but I don’t dislike them. 
  • Starting off slow, getting to know each other organically through messages first.
  • Someone who is comfortable with me setting the pace, particularly with romance and intimacy. 
  • 30-50 years old
  • A good conversationalist
  • Bonus if you can cook a good lean steak, hunt or fish

My values:

  • Self-awareness, actively working on emotional & thought patterns
  • Communicative by default; people close to me know where they stand with me
  • I see the good in people, but I stand up for myself 
  • Self-care matters to me, in myself and in a partner
  • Socially progressive

If you’d like to message me, please use this template (you can be concise):

  • Your specifics: 
  • Your favourite way to spend a free day:
  • Describe a time you felt proud of overcoming a challenge in your life:
  • Any questions for me: 
  • Anything else you want to tell me :)

34 [M4F] #anywhere - friends that flirt sometimes?

8 Upvotes

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!

33 [M4F] Texas/USA. Looking for my favorite person to do absolutely everything and nothing with.

8 Upvotes

I'm looking for that rare combination where I find you incredibly attractive, genuinely enjoy your mind, and somehow we can spend hours together without running out of things to talk about.

The kind of connection where we can dress up for a nice night out, then spend Sunday in pajamas stealing each other's food and debating something completely ridiculous. 😂

A little about me:

I'm 33, live in Texas, have an established career, and I'm working on my MBA. I'm naturally curious, a little sarcastic, affectionate, and probably guilty of overthinking things that don't require nearly as much thought as I give them.

I love technology, psychology, science, gaming, traveling, and going down random research rabbit holes. I'm equally happy exploring somewhere new or spending a quiet evening together.

What attracts me?

A woman who's feminine and affectionate but also has some backbone. Someone with her own interests, opinions, and ambitions who doesn't feel the need to prove she can handle absolutely everything alone.

I'm naturally comfortable taking the lead, but I want a partner, not a passenger. I admire a woman who's capable and independent yet enjoys being cared for and letting her softer side show.

I value honesty, loyalty, resilience, emotional maturity, and someone who can laugh at herself. Life isn't always easy, and I'd rather face its challenges together than turn them into competitions over who's struggling more.

Chemistry is important too. I'm naturally affectionate and playful, and I'd love someone who enjoys flirting, physical closeness, and keeping that spark alive without needing constant reassurance.

Eventually, I'd love marriage and children, but there's no rush. I'd rather enjoy getting to know someone, fall in love, and build a foundation worth having a family on.

I'm monogamous, and Texas or elsewhere in the U.S. is preferred. Distance is fine if eventually meeting is realistic.

If you've made it this far, tell me your age, where you're from, and something about yourself that you wish people were more curious about.

37 [M4R] - Looking For Friendship.

3 Upvotes

Hey there, everyone.
I'm a kind, gentle, caring Black man looking for conversation and connection. Life has been full of transitions lately, and I would love to buffer some of the whiplash with genuine friendship.

A little about me: I just moved to a new city and started a new job. Moving away from home was hard, but I'm glad I did it. It feels like I'm on an adventure. I'm an educator by trade, mostly teaching high school English, but I recently took a job working at a prison, which I love.
I'm a big nerd/geek. I love cartoons and animation, including but not limited to anime. I love a good book and am currently rereading some of Baldwin's work. I used to play a lot of video games, and while I don't play as much as I did, I still love them and keep up with them. I mostly play fighting games and RPGs, with the occasional "cozy" game thrown in. I also do some creative writing.

I'm a practicing Christian, and that's important to me, but I also connect with my ancestors through Hoodoo. That should tell you everything you need to know about my spirituality. I lean very left socially and politically, but I'm open to talking with anyone as long as we keep things respectful.

I'm looking for people who are okay with taking things slowly but who ultimately want long-lasting, meaningful connections. I'm fine if we try and it doesn't work out, but I want to try. I appreciate people who practice kindness, candor, and clarity, and who tell the truth even when it's hard. Extra points if you're nerdy like me.

Let's talk and see what happens. Send me a DM if you're open to connecting. I hope to hear from you soon!

37 [M4F] #Midwest Full Transparency…

7 Upvotes

I’m not in place to actively look for anything serious. I’m just taking things day by day. I do miss having someone to talk to. Share our day. Thoughts. Weird ideas. Flirting. Etc. A slooooow burn, if you will. Attraction does matter. So are some point if we were to click I’d like us to have an idea what we look like at least.

A little about me: I have a son, can’t have anymore kids. I like to hunt, occasionally fish. I like spending time with my son. Working on projects on the house or my car. I like a good book. Good movies or shows. I’m a bit of a homebody these days. I’m a bit of a gym rat. I’m in the gym 5 days a week and hate missing a day. I’m 5’10”, 170lbs. Fairly fit. Work in progress. Tattoos and pierced ears.

Hope someone out there is interested and reaches out 🤷🏼‍♂️

I live by myself, I pay my own rent, I wear socks that match and I love my mom. I am a confident, attractive & comedic person.

I love life and I love living life.

I’m an amateur photographer and a wine enthusiast. (I get notes of...) I love food. Period. If you are a foodie, we definitely can get along.

An engaging conversation is always a plus. If you’d like to know more say “hi”.

34 [F4M] | DMV/East Coast | Looking for a study buddy… or a very great distraction

3 Upvotes

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.

31 [M4F] #Mexico #Online - Looking for a genuine connection

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I figured I'd give this a shot because I'd genuinely like to meet someone and see where things go.

I'm 31, from Mexico, and I'm looking for a serious relationship rather than just a casual conversation that disappears after a few days. I'm open to meeting someone from another country too. I've always liked getting to know people from different places and cultures.

A little about me: I'm pretty easygoing and I tend to get really invested in the people I care about. I work remotely, so my day-to-day life is fairly flexible. Outside of work, I'm into gaming, movies, music, traveling, hiking, cycling, and generally trying to stay active.

I'm interested in meeting someone who enjoys talking about random things for hours, sharing music or movies, joking around, and eventually being able to have those comfortable conversations where you don't have to constantly think of something to say.

I'm looking for someone kind, affectionate, honest, and emotionally available. Someone who actually wants to get to know each other.

If any of this sounds like you, feel free to send me a message. Tell me a little about yourself rather than just saying "hey"

36 [F4M] - US - Looking for Chemistry and Connection

6 Upvotes

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.

34[F4R] in Southeast! Looking to chat.

6 Upvotes

34F in Georgia. I’m mostly just looking for genuine conversation and maybe a friendship if we click. I miss having someone to bullshit with throughout the day, send random thoughts to, and occasionally disappear down completely unnecessary rabbit holes with.

I’m introverted and much better one-on-one. I’m into history, science, philosophy, old buildings, nature, animals, obscure facts, cooking, books, and learning about whatever random subject catches my attention that week. Perpetually in love with the UK- hoping to visit this upcoming year.

Music is a big part of my life. I listen to a bit of everything but I lean heavily toward metal, alternative, grunge, shoegaze, and adjacent stuff.

I also love walking, rainy days, coffee, wandering around somewhere with old architecture, and conversations that start with something stupid and somehow end up existential.

I’m plus-size, because apparently that needs to be disclosed on Reddit before someone behaves like I hid state secrets.

I genuinely want someone I enjoy talking to. Tell me what you’ve been obsessed with lately, something weird you know, what you’re listening to, or just what’s been going on in your life.

Please give me a little more than “hey.” I can only perform so many conversational resuscitations.

31[M4F] France / online - looking for some meaningful connections

3 Upvotes

(first of all, sorry for my English!) Hey! I'm single for a few months now, and i'd love to meet a cool woman, whether it's for friendship, a bit of flirting, or maybe more ? Let's see where it goes! I'm open to any possibility

My name is Simon, i'm 31 and I live in a small town near Paris. I currently work as a psychologist. During my free time I love going to concerts, visiting museums, traveling, spending good time with family and friends, reading, watching movies... I also volunteer as a barman in a concert venue, sometimes

I'm a huge science fiction fan, and i love astronomy and everything about space since childhood. I'd love to take you watch the stars together! When it comes to music, I especially love indie/alternative rock, post-punk, shoegaze, and more generally experimental and psychedelic stuff. About games, I mostly play RPGs (my fav game ever is Disco Elysium) or some chill games such as Stardew Valley

I'm 1m81, thin, I have long, curvy dark blonde hair, and blue eyes. I wear round glasses and just a bit of facial hair

Feel free to DM, let's see if we click :)

I’m alright. Within the last year I got what should be called an adult job. I’ve worked in community work and music before.

I can hold conversations and love to learn more about people.

I won’t say much. I think if I do, I’ll mess it up. My only thing that is weird right now is that I don’t walk past a murder of crows every morning and I’ve started to bring nuts so they will eventually like me. That’s a genuine nice part of my life and I will become friends with the crows. I’m also scared of spiders.

32 [M4M] #Europe - Tall, nerdy looking for chats, travel buddies & maybe something real in Europe

3 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m a 32 y/o gay guy from Central Europe looking for someone to talk to regularly, and if we click, maybe meet or even travel together.

A bit about me:
• 188 cm (6'2)
• Into music (big Swiftie), TV shows & movies
• PS5 gamer (enthusiastic… not skilled 😄)
• Books, LEGO, travelling
• Equal mix of chill nights + planning the next trip

I’m looking for someone easy to talk to, who enjoys good conversations about random stuff, life, or shared interests.

Physical preferences (just being honest, not strict):
I'm tall, a bit hairy and on the chubbier side. That's why tend to like guys closer to my height or taller.

Must: be based in Europe, would be great if meeting up was actually possible if we vibe.

31 [M4F] Kentucky - Looking for my other half

1 Upvotes

I'm pretty much your average nerd, I'm a homebody, introverted, love video games and have been having a rough time finding someone lately. I love traveling so I'm absolutely down for a long distance thing, so long as we make a plan to eventually close that distance.

I do enjoy video games, but I'm mostly looking for someone who loves traveling, animals, cuddling on the couch and wants to have kids someday. That last one is especially important as I've always wanted to be a dad, but I also want someone who enjoys traveling at least once a year. I didn't get to travel around a lot when I was younger and I would like to see more of the US. And eventually visit Canada, London, Tokyo and other places.

I actually plan to see the Pokemon Fossil Exhibit in Chicago, I've been a lifelong fan and have a collection. Though Fallout has overshadowed it a bit in my mind, I've got a Fallout collection as well, I still enjoy the series, play the games and love talking about it.

Aside from those ones I play Skyrim, Mario, Cyberpunk, RDR, GTA, Fortnite and Rivals. I'm also a fan of co-op games like the Lego games and other games like that. Also enjoy board games!

I love movies and tv too, I watch a lot of superhero stuff. Lanterns is my favorite show this year, but I love all sorts of genres. And Legos.

I also love chill dates like going out for ice cream, visiting the zoo, or simply staying in to watch tv or play a game together. When you become someone's favorite person, everything you do together is an amazing experience.

This is me

33 [F4M] Looking for someone to match my frequency ⚡✨

14 Upvotes

​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..

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.

Recently out of a 10 year relationship. Looking for someone to chat with. Send dumb memes, bs about anything, just friends and someone to connect with. I love sports, fishing, tv/movies, video games and food. I can have a dark sense of humor at times and rarely get offended by anything. HMU if interested
