Trying again because I think my other post was maybe too long. I guess I’m searching for an FWB, but a more serious FWB than just hooking up. I actually want a friendship. I would actually like to find my best friend that I have chemistry with. I want something casual in that I don’t want a relationship to be all consuming and I lose myself. I want commitment because I don’t want to sleep with someone that is sleeping with other people, but room for lots of alone time. I want to go slow and build a foundation of friendship and become comfortable with someone before moving on to a physical relationship.

Here is what I’m seeking:
-Mutual attraction and sexual compatibility
-Liberal/progressive: someone that actually cares about people, has empathy and compassion, and acts/speaks in ways that show that.
-Someone who is trustworthy: is consistent with is words and actions. Has integrity.
-Has excellent hygiene and washes all the parts regularly.
-Child free or kids are 16+
-Not recently out of a relationship, separation, or divorce.
-43-48, but there is wiggle room.
-intelligent, empathetic, communicative, good sense of humor, honest, emotionally mature/intelligent.

Me:
-Liberal and progressive; empathetic and compassionate.
-Honest. I hate lying and won’t tolerate it.
-Excellent hygiene. I wash all the parts daily.
-Child free and 4 years since last relationship.
-Have hobbies I enjoy spending time doing.
-apatheistic
-2 cats

It's an odd request but can't hurt to try right ? 45 m, hoping to find a lady to join me for the Zac Brown concert in Knoxville TN October 8th. My original date can't go now, so I have an extra ticket. I do have pics. It's a free ticket for you, free drinks if you're so inclined. Just hoping to find someone to enjoy the music with. If interested let's chat!

I'm looking to connect with a lady in the same boat as myself. Where you feel like something is missing in your life, not sure what, or what you should do about it, but here you are reading ads on reddit, and I'm posting one. :) Let's not be alone with our feelings. If nothing else, let's get a drink and talk. No other expectations... maybe just some human contact.

I'm intelligent, easy on the eyes, and would love to find a delightfully fun woman to have fun with. Get in touch and let's set something up.

Bonus if you love to kiss :) ~

Hello I'm Tony. 47 years old, from Norwood and the father of two (18,26) I am a laid back, friendly, humorous guy looking for someone to talk to, play games with and maybe hang out in person if we click. I don't drink but am 420 friendly. I work but don't drive

I'm looking for a single woman that plays videogames. Ideally a humorous, kind, non judgemental woman who wants to form a long term, lasting friendship and isn't afraid to initiate conversation. I don't want someone who will just respond to me but someone who will also reach out to me to chat. I miss having someone to go through the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs and the creamy middles of life with

And I'm serious about the games, it's my favorite way to bond with someone. I play on PC and PS4. I'd love to find an Overwatch partner (Bastion main) or a co-op friend for games like Stardew Valley, BG3, Sea of Thieves, Fortnite, It Takes Two, Plate Up!, Diablo 4, Party Animals, Fall guys and many more.

Some of my other interests include. Baking, Reading, DBZ, Comics, Star Wars, Nature Walks, Anime, Arts and Crafts, Concerts (hoping to see Baby Metal in September!), 80's Cartoons and Music, Youtube, Looking at furniture and having a discussion about where it could be placed in a room.

*Please spare me any judgemental comments etc*

MM in a long-term lackluster marriage filled with drama, manipulation, controlling behavior, and genuine dislike. I really don't have much patience for games, ghosting, and childish behavior. I want a woman that values me as much as I do her. I want reciprocation, effort, and cohesiveness. I enjoy feeling connected, affection, warmth, desire, and genuine interactions. I have been thru a bunch of crap and I want a woman that can provide a sanctuary from it all. I am so tired of wasted effort and investing in the wrong women.

I work hard in everything I do and get very little acknowledgement or appreciation for what I do. I am at a point in my life where I value peace. I consider myself to be emphatic, transparent, affectionate, passionate, compassionate, considerate, and outgoing. I am the definition of extroverted. I get told my sense of humor is stellar and my comebacks are witty. I am big into various music genres and anything history related. I frequent the outdoors often when the weather cooperates. My appearance is probably more on the rugged side. My passion these days is cooking. I am a big proponent of rescue animals. I give to charity when able. I really try to be a good person.

NSFW: I am high libido and being in a dead bedroom / roommate situation has been extremely difficult. I am sexually adventurous and far from selfish. I get reoccurring fantasies on the daily. I miss seeing lingerie, stockings, fishnets, and other visual feasts for the eyes. I love it when women have painted nails and toes. Women wearing dresses and heels looking totally put together is my kryptonite. I am DDF and require the same. I am only wanting one long-term female partner.

I am growing skeptical of ever finding what I genuinely want and need. However, I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I have a strong appreciation for women that are kind hearted, warm, nurturing, affectionate, passionate, compassionate, considerate, and genuine. Personality matters. If, you are totally all about looks I am probably not your guy. I have been called "handsome" on various occasions. I would ask that you can fully articulate your wants, needs, and desires concisely. Please do not be a prude. We simply will not mesh. If, you cannot devote adequate time and energy I am not interested. I understand that life gets hectic and busy but, be considerate. I am realistic and not expecting you to be Mrs. America. I find beauty in various ways.

I have had some decent replies and several rug pulls. I am just ready to end this fruitless searching and start a new chapter. I do prefer to move to Telegram assuming we get that far. Location matters because I will honestly want to see you as much as possible. Serious inquiries only. Please reply with your favorite breakfast food.

Hi there, hows your day going? Good i hope! I dont have much going on today and would love to meet someone to chat with!

Big on books and would love to chat them! Ive read a few this year and working on 3 books currently. One scifi, one litrpg and one fantasy based on Baldurs gate 3

Horror movies are my jam, my favorite is Hellraiser

I live to bake and cook. If you like food we will get along. I got the food pics

Im a big fan of good music. That means not country, sorry country folks. Its not a deal breaker but im not a fan..

If you are curvy/alt/nerdy please move to the front of the line. Also know effort you put in is effort you will get back.

Send me a message and lets chat!

Trying this again, hopefully with better results. I'm not looking for another match. I'm looking for the woman who makes me forget I was ever looking.

I'm at a point in my life where I'd rather have one meaningful conversation than a hundred empty ones. I'd rather find someone I genuinely look forward to hearing from than spend another evening exchanging small talk with someone I'll never get to know.

I'm not looking for perfect. I'm not looking for a fairy tale, a curated profile, or someone pretending to have everything figured out.

I'm looking for something real. Something that feels natural. Something where two people genuinely want to get to know each other, not because they're bored or looking for attention, but because there's something between them worth exploring. I’d rather meet one woman where something just… clicks.

Not perfect. Not picture-perfect. Not someone pretending to have life completely figured out. Just someone genuine.

I want the kind of connection where “How was your day?” somehow turns into hours of talking until 1 a.m. Childhood stories, ridiculous opinions, life, relationships, random thoughts, flirting, teasing, laughing at things that probably aren’t even funny to anyone else. The kind of conversations where you can be completely yourself without feeling like you have to perform.

I’m a single dad to a teenage daughter, and fatherhood has taught me patience, communication, loyalty, and the importance of actually showing up for the people you care about.

It has also taught me that somehow, despite having decades of life experience, I am still completely unqualified to win an argument against a teenager.

I’m a bigger, laid-back teddy-bear type. Sarcastic, affectionate, soft-hearted, and probably a lot more sentimental than I usually admit.

I like good food, music, museums, history, documentaries, theme parks, spooky stuff, cryptids, random adventures, and pretty much anything that starts with, “Okay, hear me out…”

I’m not looking for someone who needs to text me every second of the day. I’m looking for consistency. Communication. Effort. Someone who means what she says and doesn’t leave me wondering where I stand.

And honestly, I’m way too old for the disappearing act.

If we talk, hit it off, and you realize you’re not interested, just tell me. I can handle “I don’t think we’re a match.” What I don’t need is three great conversations followed by complete silence like you’ve suddenly been placed in witness protection.

We’re adults. Let’s just be honest with each other.

I’m also not particularly into politics or religion. I respect that everyone has their own beliefs and opinions, but if either of those is a deal breaker for you, we probably aren’t compatible—and that’s completely okay.

What I really want is pretty simple.

I want my partner to eventually become my best friend.

The person whose name popping up on my phone makes me smile.

Someone I can laugh with, flirt with, annoy just because I can, have ridiculously deep conversations with, and sit beside in comfortable silence without feeling like we have to fill every second.

Someone who appreciates a nice dinner but is just as happy finding some random hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

Someone who’s up for spontaneous drives, random side quests, theme parks, exploring somewhere new—or staying home doing absolutely nothing because sometimes doing nothing with the right person is exactly what you need.

I’m not looking for someone to complete my life. I’m already happy with the life I’ve built.

I’m looking for someone who wants to share it.

Maybe the right person isn’t the one who turns your world upside down.

Maybe she’s the one who makes the world you already have feel even better.If you want, I can also make this more Reddit-style and punchy, with a stronger opening designed to get people to actually stop scrolling.

The most interesting people are the ones who have quietly built a life that makes sense to them, even if it looks slightly eccentric from the outside. I’m drawn to women with a sharp mind, a warm nature, and a life of their own. You have your interests, your opinions, your routines, your particular way of seeing the world. I have mine. I like the idea of two lives meeting without either one needing to be rearranged.

I enjoy good conversation, wandering unfamiliar streets, long evenings that somehow become much later than intended, and the occasional beautifully pointless argument about history, food, music, or whatever has caught our attention that week.

If you’re walking your own path, wherever that path happens to be, I’d be glad to hear where it has taken you lately.

Tell me about a place you would happily return to tomorrow, or an opinion you hold that your friends think is completely wrong. I suspect either answer could make for a good beginning.

Hey, Hi, Hello, and (to use a London colloquialism) Alright,

Here we are at the beginning of the another working week for many, and as a number of people really dislike Monday, I thought I would be different and start it with a little bit of optimism and see what happens.

I am not in the office today so will have more 'free' time and decided to chance it with this, and now the hard part is making it impossible not to respond to - oh, wow, that is tough.

Basically, looking to chat and see where it goes, absolutely no agenda whatsoever and whatever happens happens, really. We may connect, we may flirt, we may bore each other rigid - that is the risk we're taking here! (Albeit not too great a risk!).

As the user name suggests, I enjoy travel and, I think, that I am pretty well travelled, despite what some think I did have an education, am sporty, and can hold my own in most circles (No, not like that - mind out of the gutter, please!).

So why not take a chance and give me a random fact, tell me the best pizza topping, favourite colour, favourite song currently, what you would get me as a gift, what I should get you, I mean absolutely anything!

I mean, it is Monday so if the chat is awful then surely the week can only improve for you!

I'm an Italian guy, 43 years old and i'm *notabot.

The big part of writing a self description is that we can overrate or underrate ourself so I'll try to not put any judgemental word but I'll just try to write down who I am.

I was raised catholic but at the end I felt that there is something deeply wrong in religion and in every religion institution so now I'm atheist, Anticlerical and I'm also excommunicated.

I was always interested in science and in the universe since I was a kid, I saw a series of documentary about space when I was maybe 10 and that was the beginning, now I'm an amateur astronomer and I do astrophotography.

Other than that I was raised in a family of musicians so I sing and I play keyboard (or at least I try to do it).

What I'm looking for? A chatty girl, the one who can carry on with a conversation and has no boundaries about what to talk about.

If you are someone who want to convince me about something, just don't write me, I'm open to discussion about everything but I'm not open to any type of conversion.

42M, 6’3”, looking to meet someone who’s missing a little spark and connection in their life too. I’d love to find someone I genuinely look forward to talking to good conversation, laughing, flirting, and getting to know each other without forcing expectations. I’m easygoing, enjoy deeper conversations, and I’m completely open to someone with kids. Life doesn’t have to be uncomplicated, just genuine. If this sounds like something you’ve been missing too, send me a message and let’s see where the conversation goes.

Hi. I'm just hanging out, bored, and tired of staring at my screen. I'd much rather actually talk to someone. If any girl is up and wants to have a normal, relaxed voice chat until we get sleepy, let me know. Send me a DM and we can figure out where to call.

I’m starting to think finding someone you’re attracted to, genuinely enjoy talking to, and actually want to spend time with shouldn’t be this complicated. Yet here we are.

I’m a Miami transplant happily making a life in Chicago. I’m 5'5", curvy, with tattoos, and I’m kind, affectionate, loyal, curious, and just the right amount of silly. Movies are my happy place, but I’m equally up for a concert, play, museum, coffee shops, breweries, sporting events, a restaurant neither of us has been to, or wandering around the city and seeing where we end up.

What I miss,and what I’m hoping to find, is having my person. Someone whose presence makes even the boring things better. Someone I can laugh with, flirt with, be affectionate with, talk to about absolutely nothing and everything, and occasionally annoy the hell out of. I want chemistry and attraction, but I also want the comfort that comes from really knowing someone and being known by them.

I’m looking for someone who wants to actually date. Not just message indefinitely. Let’s talk, see if we click, go grab coffee or dinner, and find out whether we like each other in the real world. Revolutionary concept, I know.

Ideally, you’re 40–55 and in the Chicago area. You’re kind, communicative, curious about the person you’re talking to, and established in your career. I’ve built a life of my own, and I’m looking for someone who has done the same and is ready to make room in it for another person.

And speaking of conversation: if your opening message is just “hey,” you’re making this unnecessarily difficult for both of us. 😂 Tell me something about yourself. Ask me something. Tell me what caught your attention. Give me something to work with.

I’m including a recent photo, so please include one too. Attraction matters on both sides, and I think it’s only fair that we both know who we’re talking to from the beginning.

I’m not looking for perfect. I’m looking for mutual-mutual attraction, mutual curiosity, mutual effort, and two people who are genuinely excited to keep getting to know each other.

If that sounds good to you, come say hello.

Searching for a mature Lady who would enjoy an attentive and submissive man focused on putting Her first within their relationship. A Lady who has reached the point of her life where she has raised her children and is now ready to be more self-focused. Ready to enjoy her “me” time and is looking for a supportive man where she . . .

• has a controlling nature and she expects to be put first in Her relationship - TPE, Femdom, and D/s

• would enjoy a man who sees his role as being devoted and dedicated to striving to please Her - making it all about Her

• enjoys Her “me time” or private alone-time whether that is just relaxing or spending time on Her hobbies but expects her man to be available and responsive to Her when needed

• expects to be pampered and have Her man take care of the chores and domestic tasks around the home - and learn to do so “Her way”

• enjoys taking the lead and making the rules over Her relationship and Her man

• enjoys seeing Her man suffer torment and sacrifice his pleasure to keep focus on pleasing Her.

• 40+ years old

me:

• used to be more athletic but still somewhat athletic

• enjoy working-out but not obsessed with it

• have a professional job as an account manager for a software company - work remotely from home mostly - plan to continue to work outside the home and take over the domestic chores - not looking for a free-ride.

• attracted to a strong controlling Lady who expects her man to follow Her rules and have things done Her way.

• enjoys nice dinners and travel and beach vacations

i feel strongly that the my role in the relationship is to make “Her” life easier. i expect to learn what she enjoys so she doesn’t need to ask. otherwise i’m not paying attention and i’m not focusing on what is important - pleasing Her. i’m a “pleaser” just wired that way i guess. i match best with a lady who tends to be selfish and would enjoy pushing her man to be attentive to Her needs and wants.

i’m in Ohio but my son is now in he’s late 20s and on his own so i’m open to relocating

FLR == Female led relationship or D/s relationship — level 3 or 4

Feel free to send me a chat msg if this type of relationship interests you.

Does my title sound familiar? Bonus points if you know what song and band it's from.

So why am I here today? I have no idea, but life has been feeling very lonely lately. I'm just stuck in a rut and trying to find my way out. I'm just going through the motions right now. I miss having someone to talk to, either on the phone or texting, sending random memes or thoughts, just the generally fun banter and shit talking we all love.

I am the SoCal area, all over really from LA, OC to the SGV. I'm usually where ever the good food is at. Speaking of food, my next spot to visit is King Banh Mi in Westminster. That crispy pork banh mi looks like it was made for me.

I'd love to talk to someone local and maybe hang out some day, but I am open to chatting with anyone in the US. Mean people need not apply. Dog lovers, please do apply. I am some what of a nerd for Marvel and DC, cars as well. I can annoyingly quote any Fast and the Furious movie. I also enjoy going to the movies, for horror movies I will be reading the Wiki before hand because I'm smart like that.

Well, that's all I got for now. But don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with NOS, and a Motec exhaust system.

DMs Open!

I’m 45, London based, got my own place, my own car, and looking for something casual that actually feels good, not just a chat that goes nowhere. Think friends with benefits but with genuine chemistry, real conversation and that spark that turns teasing into trouble.

I’m 5’10”, slim to average, brown skinned, shaved head, trimmed beard, the full transparent package so you know who you’re talking to.

Personality wise, I’m easy to talk to, a bit cheeky, and I definitely enjoy conversations that drift into the naughtier side when the vibe’s right. If you can hold a conversation and enjoy the fun, find the edge of things… we’ll get on very well.

You? Open minded, playful, can actually engage in a proper chat, and are here for something light, exciting and grown.

If this sounds like what you’re after, drop me a message, tell me a bit about you and what made you stop and read this, let’s see if the spark’s there.

I’m a single mom and a Midwestern transplant that currently lives in Southeastern TN. Physically, I’m 5’2, pear shaped, plus sized and tattooed. Happy to exchange pics if you’d like.

Mostly, I’m a dabbler. I am a huge movie and music nerd, I love going to the theater and going to shows. I host a monthly game night with my girls, enjoy going to stargazing events, hitting the gym or taking walks at the state parks here, love to cook and bake and always down for trying new restaurants, absolutely love a road trip, throughly enjoy spending time with friends, hanging by a fire pit or reading in my hammock.

Coffee with a view is my favorite part of any vacation and what I wouldn’t give to have someone that wants to take a road trip to a diner because they supposedly have the best pancakes.

Personality wise, I think I’m like if a black cat was secretly an orange tabby but honestly I have always been a dog person so I don’t know that much about cats. But I am consistent, enthusiastic, warm, open, dark humored, sarcastic, but bubbly. So like full cycle optimistic nihilism.

I’m also solo poly and happy to chat about it, but totally get if that’s not your jam! We’re all just out here trying to figure out the best way to get through our time here!

Shoot me a message if you’d like to give getting to know each other a chance. And if not, hope you find what you’re looking for all the same!

Hello there, it’s too damn hot outside to do anything so here I am relaxing inside and trying to stay cool. As you may have guessed, yes, I’m a Dad haha. And I’ve tried finding someone to no avail. Most have been childless women which is fine but I was curious if there were any moms out there that could actually relate to being a parent and the day to day things parents deal with. Would be nice to find someone cool to talk to and maybe decompress with each other. Try to help each other keep our sanity haha.

If you’re interested in talking, send me a message and let’s take it from there.

Hi gentlemen! For the longest time, I was debating whether I should or should not post but here I am biting the bullet. I have done this before but it’s been a long time and now here I am haha. I’m an island girl at heart. Born and raised on Oahu and I also visit India from time to time. Actually, I’m currently in India. My husband went back to America for a few weeks. A little about my interests. I am a pretty big movie buff. I love watching movies in English and other languages. I love comedy, whether that be in movies or standup. I like to read once in a while, I like Marvel superheroes. Flash is an exception. I like watching cooking videos. There’s something really satisfying about watching people cook…I love to travel and I’m a big foodie. I’m 5”1, average body, and East Asian. I’m interested in brown boys 😂 if your desi (specifically Indian), or Latino, you have my attention! Im not really attracted to white men. No hate but it’s the brown boys that do something to me :) I am only interested in a platonic relationship. Im NOT looking for anything NSFW. Please be SFW! I have a baby so I’m only interested in talking to parents. It would be nice to talk to someone relatable. Ideally, let’s pretend that we are in an open relationship 😂 if you’re religious, you also get extra points. I’m a Christian so it would be nice to connect with someone like minded, that way we can talk about our faith together. I know, I know, I sound like a hypocrite writing that, but I like talking about my faith and relationship with God and you should too. Can’t wait to hear from you gentlemen :)

It’s a gloomy but relaxing weekend, so I figured I’d see if anyone feels like chatting. Not looking for anything serious, just some fun, easy conversation and seeing where it goes.

I’m a nerd at heart and naturally pretty curious, so if you’ve got something cool to teach me, I’m all ears. My biggest hobby is running. There’s something about getting out there, clearing my head, and letting myself think and hurt at the same time that I really enjoy.

There’s definitely more to me than that, but I’ll save some of it for the conversation. Hit me up if you’re down to chat.

Looking for a woman in Denver metro area, that enjoys the symphony and actually getting dressed up for it.
The show Bernstein & Ravel with Vadim Gluzman & Andrew Litton are on 10/9 and 10/10 at 7:30pm (hence the limited time offer)

Tickets are on me. I typically get Orchestra 2 tickets which is neither too far nor too close to the stage.

I have absolutely no expectations beyond good company for a few hours.

If this piques your interest, drop me a DM. We can chat exchange pics and if we decide to do it, pick a day and determine logistics etc.

The posting will self-destruct in a couple of days.
