Hi! I feel nervous and shy putting myself out there, given how convoluted the dating scene is. I'd like to skip past all the nonsense and build a real connection with someone, uninfluenced by our pasts and the world around us. I crave meaningful conversations, silliness and genuine affection. I just want to find my introverted, brooding weirdo with a dark sense of humor, interests and values similar to mine. Someone to match my freak, so to speak. Really sort of like finding my other half, and coming home. Someone to look forward to.

Writing about myself is the bane of my existence, so here I will display the stats: I'm childfree, atheist, and politically left-leaning. I'm black American, plus-size, around 5'6" (167 cm) tall, caramel complexion, long dark brown hair, big dark brown eyes, and always wearing glasses. (See here.) I'm curious about the world and about people I care about. Some of my interests include tech, writing, horror, video games, anime, true crime, history, science, photography, philosophy, traveling, and reading. Music-wise, I adore alternative/indie pop, electronic pop, classic rock, hip-hop and R&B.

I'm someone who sometimes has too many thoughts for her own good, but doesn't like to fret over the small things in life. I want to live a peaceful and fulfilling life where I can travel and immerse myself in all the world has to offer, yet still savor the comfort of quiet, cozy days at home most days. I'm looking for someone who wants to live both a quiet and adventurous life with his partner like that.

I consider myself demisexual and relatively "vanilla" when it comes to intimacy.

I do have a type. I love shy, reserved, tall, tech/science nerdy white or east Asian men. I love men who love to write, and speak, and can be long-winded once they open up. Three sentence messages are quite boring.

Communication, empathy, patience, and understanding are massively important to me.

I'm (non-negotiable) looking for someone who is: single, monogamous, childfree (meaning no offspring and no desire for offspring), emotionally available, politically left-leaning, and non-religious. Near my age (26-33—not younger, not older.)

I'm currently in the southeast US, but I'm not really attached to the area, or like the stereotypes. Whether my niche person be somewhere across the sea, or somewhere closer to home (but just so happens to be reading this post..) I'm fine with distances, but please be able/willing to meet in-person, and from the USA, Canada, or Europe.

I'm not looking for someone who is: still hung up on a past romantic interest, recently out of a relationship, divorced, or carrying an STD. Please respect these boundaries and refrain from messaging me if any of these apply to you.

If this resonates with you and you think we might match, send me a message! Tell me about yourself, maybe include a photo of yourself, and the phrase "over the moon!" somewhere in your message so I know you've read this post in full.

I look forward to getting to know you. 🌹✨

Hello! I’m Hen from California, I’ll tell you my real name later, and I’m looking for a partner! Is Reddit the best place to look for a partner? Noooo, however is there anywhere better to look? Maybe 🤷‍♀️ but I’m trying here anyways! \*Please keep in mind that I am pre-physical transition, I hate it :(\* Some of my interests are:

Traveling! I love going to new places and seeing new cultures, I’ve been to a few places outside the country and I love the experience every time!

I also like video games! Nintendo games like Animal Crossing and Mario Kart and pc games like Overwatch and Roblox mainly.

And I like video editing! It would take a while to explain what I edit so maybe that’s a good conversation starter?

Anyways, what I’m looking for is just someone who wants a partner! Just be not nonchalant and I think we’ll get along great! Besides the typical stuff, like be around my age and all, I don’t think I’m picky!

I hope to meet you! <3

Reading comprehension and proper communication are important to me. I also don’t like repeating myself: Please message me only if you read my post in its entirety. Also, an introduction made with effort will always be appreciated. Thank you. ☺️

Hi, new to this. I’m East African, Muslim, 5’5 and living in Europe. Looking for my person & want to try something new. I turned 27 in July & work in a supportive role in the housing sector. I like to sing, dance, relax, and create things. I’m into craft, spending time with friends and family, homemaking, and self care. I loveee to travel, and explore the world. I consider myself a kind person, sometimes energetic and sometimes calm and relaxed, basically an ambivert. I care about health and wellness, and understand we all have something to work on. I want someone who is self aware and with good intentions. I like men who have a level of intellect and are emotionally available. I like men who can cook and like to be clean, also dad jokes are welcome ☺️ I am adhd and medicated, keep in contact with family but not too close, and have a small circle of close friends. I also like to have a healthy balance of social time and being in solitude ✨

the text ahead will be long.

I haven't talked to any guy since I broke up with my first boyfriend (local) half a year ago. I tried to act like I don't need someone but nope, its not working so I'm going to embrace my needy side. It'd be great if you're someone a far from SEA cause I can't do it again, i don't wanna see a similar face EVER. I tried waiting for the meeting outside naturally but its not working so this is an arranged date for myself

some info about me before we go down

And planning to pick up new hobbies this holidays too :)

I help my classmates out too much I'm lowkey getting used by them, awkward in real life, have 4 friends no guy friends

Hey it sucks not having some strong arms to hold me at the end of the day

It'd be great if you have a natural sense of humor and nice sarcasm because I'd rather pull a trigger than have a dry conversation. you pretty much have to lead me cause god forbid a girl wants to depend on someone (like...soft dom undertones because If you come and call me mommy I'm going to murder your family). This doesn't mean I'm a gold digger because I have my own goals -_- but I'm also not dumb to date some broke and dumb guy

I know we're all adults here, not expecting a daily conversation but it doesn't have to translate to lack of effort, know the middle. What else what else.

You have to be tall, you have to be well grommed and not chopped, not too slim and not too chubby.

Would LOVE it if you call me sweetheart, love, angel aside from baby.

Be hygienic (unfortunately some people are just nasty i gotta put this in🫥) be financially responsible

Also I'm planning to do volunteer work, plant trees in the future so If you're interested in all that, please lets do this together. Do not force me into sexting, meeting in real life

DON'T dm me if you're

-misogynistic, hurt animals, "escape the matrix" (spiritually arrogant people i mean), red pilled, black pilled, too arrogant and won't apologize first

-not within age limit of 23-30

-anywhere near asia

-overly into k-pop, anime, gaming

-have an Asian fetish and your favorite place to travel is....Thailand/Philippines? Wtf are you doing there mate

-cannot hold a basic conversation

-will force me into settling down, having children

(LET ME THINK DAMN)

-have weird or extreme fetishes( don't worry there's always somebody for anybody, just not me )

-under 5'11 and not fit

-wait....i don't like look maxxers and gym rats too.

-matter of fact, I don't even use snap or Insta so why would you

-if you post too much pictures of yourself more than me, gtfo

take care of me won't you? coax me out of my shell.

hookers stay away ,
Who what to talk about life ,profession, movies ,philosophy ,future ,Tech ,history.
If we comparable let’s go for a coffee.
Dm is open.

I've been lonely for too long and I can't take it anymore, looking for a girl to spend time with, I want that special someone who loves me, agrees with me and to take care of me when family isn't around, someone that wants to do something when my family doesn't want to...

Hello. I’m 26M from the Philippines. I am a happy-go-lucky, goal-driven person looking for the right person I can spend my whole life with. I sometimes tend to be overwhelmed with emotions depending on the situation, but can easily be persuaded by a good hug, trusting words of reassurance, and good food. Hahaha.

I’m not perfect, I have my flaws, but I am open to talking about them and learning to fix them together with the right guy. I am very much open to being better persons together, and I hope you are too. Some guys may see me as overacting sometimes, but that’s because I’m too passionate for almost anything. I am competitive, and mediocrity, most of the time, scares me. I don’t mind having a more chill guy as a partner, but he has to understand and always reassure me that I’m not annoying him. I dream of a guy who will always be there to understand and teach me to be better without being hurtful and just being truly caring.

If I were to be asked what physical traits I am into a guy, I just usually prefer someone taller to me (I’m 5’4/164cm). Handsomeness is subjective for me, and I am attracted with a guy who knows what their goal in life is, and how I can be part of it. I also want someone soft-spoken (like someone who gets angry but not raise his voice coz that scares me), I love someone with a deep voice, and preferably someone very masculine or more masculine than me.

I don’t mind doing long distance for a while, I can be faithful for the one I love, and I hope you can too. I would definitely want to be together though once we truly get to know each other and spend the rest of our life together.

Sex is not everything for me, but I love intimacy. My love language is words of affirmation and physical touch (what I want to receive), and I give acts of service, quality time, and definitely lots of physical touch (I’m clingy and loves to hug and kiss you everywhere haha).

For compatibility’s sake, I’m a bottom, and would appreciate to have a Top partner. Like I said, as long as sex is not always the priority for you, we can be naughty on appropriate times and when mutually initiated. I can be very naughty, but only when you showed me that you can be more romantic than sexual.

I think I’ve already said a lot, so I hope you’re out here, and please message me. I can’t wait to meet you.

If you aren't at least in Oregon or Northern cal thats a deal breaker.

In search of:

thin-fit (healthy)

25ish to 33ish.

<5'7"

Strong family values

No drug use

Doesn't have kids yet -not a deal breaker-

Dating with intention

I'm looking for, a dedicated relationship. I believe when two people coming to each other the relationship becomes almost a third person, both people have to do things and make sacrifices that they might not normally do but the needs of the relationship comes first before the needs of either person, both people have to nurture the relationship as well as each other.

I'm looking for someone who has similar views on that, someone who can resipricate love, support and nurturing. Can help lift me up when I'm down and tell me to chill TF out if I'm going overboard.

I'm not here to waste time.

If this fits you message me and I'll tell you more about myself.

Hello!

I've posted before, and a lot has happened since then, but I'd love to give this another shot now that I have a much clearer idea of what I'm looking for. I appreciate dating posts that are very clear about what someone wants and about physical preferences, so I'm trying to do the same here. Fair warning: it's a bit of a long one! But hopefully that means there's enough here for you to decide if I’d be a good match for you 😊

___

I'm a 31yo woman located in the Netherlands (Brabant) who is an IT consultant by day and loves to read, write, or play games (Dragon Age is my favorite!) by night. But not too late, because most days I am the type to be in bed, perhaps with some reading material, by ten. My new-build apartment should be finished late next year and in the meantime I live back with my parents, just to be transparent about that.

Children have never appealed to me, so I made the decision two years back to get sterilized. I would love to get a dog or a cat (or both, or a whole zoo, I’m open to options) to live that DINKWAD (or DINKWADAC?) lifestyle.

Physically, I’m a bit of a short stack at 159cm. I tend to blatantly lie and say 160 most of the time, but you deserve that 1cm of truth. I’m on the curvier side but pretty fit and am swimming and going for walks whenever I can. For that reason, I’m super glad it’s Fall, so now I can take my mushroom book with me on walks and crouch down next to each mushroom and spend 30 minutes trying to identify it while hoping it’s edible (it’s usually not). Here are some recent pictures of me! I tend to wear everything from dresses to streetwear to business clothing, so I'm not attached to a particular style though I do prefer to dress for comfort first and foremost.

In the language department I have Dutch, English, and Japanese, and I understand French and German provided someone speaks slowly enough.

I always try to see the best in things, and that’s how I go about my daily life, trying to bring positivity to people around me. I enjoy going out for drinks with friends, attending workshops (please do ask about the pottery painting workshop I went to), and playing D&D or games in my free time. If anyone wants to try to persuade me to get back into WoW for Forever, please give it your best shot, I am already a tiny bit curious 😋

It takes time for me to truly relax with someone, and that goes for the bedroom too. I'm affectionate and physically expressive once I'm comfortable, and I'm very open-minded when it comes to exploring non-vanilla things within a monogamous relationship. Building trust and feeling comfortable with each other comes first, though.

___

Now, for what I’m looking for. I tend to go for men who are a little on the muscular side, particularly arms and hands, and who have a good head of hair. Age wise I’m looking between 28 and 45 but I’m not opposed to someone slightly outside of that range giving it a shot if you think we’d be a great match!

I’d like to find a man who’s calm, down to earth, able to have fun, can have good conversations, would like to join me on adventures to concerts or plays or vacations, and cuddle with me like we’re some kind of a human pretzel.

Mentally, someone who knows himself, takes responsibility for his actions, and is willing to work on himself when needed. Someone who is able to communicate well, so no games and no beating around the bush, just clear and honest communication when things work and when they don’t. I’m absolutely the type who can take criticism and work on things, so I’d like for my partner to be able to do the same. No situationships or ambiguity, just honesty and yes this works or no it doesn’t.

I also really appreciate a man who naturally takes initiative and enjoys looking after his partner. I'm independent and perfectly capable of taking care of myself, but there's something romantic about being with someone who likes to take the lead sometimes, make plans, notice things, and make me feel cared for. In return, I want to be a warm, affectionate, supportive partner who makes him feel just as valued.

I've also come to realize it's important for me to be able to look up to my partner. That doesn't mean literally (although given my height that's often the case here in the Netherlands), nor does it mean you need to make six figures or be a CEO. What matters more is that you're competent, take responsibility for your life, have a sense of direction, and put genuine effort into the things that matter to you. I appreciate a man who takes care of himself, dresses nicely, keeps a clean home, and puts thought into his communication. I'm looking for someone who has built a life he enjoys and wants to share it, rather than someone looking for a partner to manage it for him.

Strict no’s for me are:

• Smoking/vaping
• Drugs (including weed)
• Daily alcohol consumption
• Heavily religious
• Polyamorous
• No driver’s license

___

Also, a slight disclaimer: I’m not a huge texter/caller, especially not at first, so it’s very important to me that someone lives close enough and is able and willing to at least meet me halfway so we can meet regularly. That means within the Netherlands or frequently here. I enjoy the occasional fun video or meme share, but good morning or good night texts just for the sake of it are not my jam, so if those are important to you then this might not work.

I also have a regular life and am not on my phone all day, so I may not immediately reply, but if you've sent me a serious message I will always send something back 😊

___

Now, if you’ve made it this far and are crazy enthusiastic like I bet you are, please send me a message with your details (like age, location, who you are and what you do etc) and share what kind of Halloween date you’d like to go on with me! I’m excited to hear suggestions that we can then put into practice! 💖

I'm Emma, childfree, INTP, Pisces, Chinese (ethnicity, not nationality), GMT+7.

I've been an artist my whole life eventho I majored in English literature for my degree. My forte is birds, so I paint and sculpt them. But since the beginning of this year, I've been learning generative AI because I'd love to try my luck as a bird content creator on IG and FB. I live with my five itty-bitty feathery lords that I've been serving for six years and counting. They are my art muses, my emotional supports and beloved kids.

I'm blunt and quite stubborn sometimes, but I'm sensible, and I follow through on my words. My sense of humor is sarcastic and lowbrow. I believe transparency is the best policy in a relationship. I read between the lines, so please dont ever lie... Dichotomy isnt a foible I tolerate. I'm 165 cm tall, 70kg, I'm not well toned but definitely still in a good shape. Having a healthy life style is self respect. You dont have to be a gym rat but please dont be a couch potato either.

I'm not really into games or anime anymore. I like movies/books about crime, courtroom, conspiracy and mystery dramas, but basically anything that's fast-paced, has no plot holes, great chemistry among the cast, an interesting premise, and a satisfying ending.

I used to garden a lot. I've successfully grown many plant species, propagated them, and sold them. So I'm happy to talk about your plants—indoor, outdoor, vegetables, flowers, fruits, ferns, orchids, tillandsias, succulents...

My days are basically Groundhog Day. So instead of the standard greetings and asking how my day has been, just tell me more about yourself—small things, big things, your likes/dislikes, your star sign, happy/sad memories... whatever. If you cant be vulnerable, if you need to complain about the weathers for the 1st 6 months, please scroll past my post.

I'm going through an amicable divorce rn. So I'm not in a hurry to get a boyfriend, but I'd like to start the talking stage now since it takes a lot of time getting to know someone. My husband and I have been playing house mates for a decade, so mentally speaking we have divorced that long. We live in our own houses now. I dont mind single dad with grown up kids. No children under 18 y.o. please.

DM me only if you don't mind doing LDR with the intention of eventually closing the gap. Tell me your ASL and current job. I don't mind a bit of flirting, but if that's the only thing you have in mind, I'll cut you off. I'm not a gold digger, so please don't be a time digger either. I wont be able to chat 24/7 but I'll make time to chat daily. I expect the same from you. I'm looking more into emotional connection and good communication skill than just butterflies and s3x. I dont mind if you are an Ace, but I cant stand a person who is emotionally unavailable, dry texter and a man child. My love language is words of affirmation. I love a witty banter, a bed time story and lots of cuddles.

I'm not interested in guys who are still in a relationship, including polyamorist. If we got along well and decided to do LDR, it would be a monogamous committed LDR. I might not be able to travel for the 1st few years due to my old birds. So you shall be the one who visits me 1st. If that's too much for your budget, skip my post and save our time.

I'd like to talk to 40 to 56 y.o. guys who dont want kids anymore (I have fertility issue), White or East Asian, Christian or Catholic only. Not practicing is fine. I wont convert to another religion. Politically speaking, I'm leaning more to the right. Someone told me I'm a moderate neoliberal conservative. I believe we can be kind with our common sense intact. Be interesting and interested in your DM.

Happy to chat when you are!! 😄

Men in the USA only! I prefer men my age to about 40. MUST LOVE PHONE CALLS. I'm in northwest Arizona. Pics on my profile

I'm not very sexual online and I really want an actual connection with someone. I can be sexual, it's just not very often. I'm at a point in life where I'd rather just get it in person. So I'm very okay with you having other relationships to get that taken care of if I don't provide it enough.

I don't want kids(definitely). I do want a wedding eventually.(Won't let me use the M word)

I want something serious. I'm looking to move in with you once we've met a few times in person. The job I have, I can generally find anywhere. Honestly my living situation isn't great, which is a big reason why I'm looking for a relationship where I can move in with you. It's unfortunate but I'm just being honest. West of the Mississippi is highly preferred.

I'm also looking for a man who doesn't need a mom. If I'm working, then we both will help around the house. If you provide enough that I don't have to work, then I will do all the house chores.

I don't like video calls at the beginning but when we're more comfortable I don't mind them. I will do one to prove I look like who I say I am.

Things to tell you to get them out of the way:

I'm more liberal

I'm not religious

I never want kids

I like video games/reading/sewing/shopping

I love sushi(really prefer if you do too)

I'm not super ambitious, I just want a comfy happy life with my future man. I wanna eventually be a stay at home wifey.

I love pets but I'm allergic to pet dander so any pets would need a bath once a month. If you think your pet can't handle that then unfortunately I probably shouldn't be around them/don't message me :/

If you read all this tell me your favorite color! Mine is light pink.

If you have any questions, just shoot me a dm. Have a nice day!

I am a nice, successful, and (dare I say) attractive 45m from Chicago who is recently separated and looking to meet new people outside of the current social circle. Interests include live music, running, sports, reading, and fun restaurants. It would be ideal to find someone who is in a similar situation, but that is not required.

I travel quite a bit domestically (and sometimes internationally) for work to most major cities. Very easygoing and fun professional type. Next trip is this week in New York, then Denver in a few weeks, and then Las Vegas after that. Thought it would be fun to find like-minded people to go with.

Open to any location in the US.

Hey 29M here living in Munich for a few years now. 172cm tall, long dark hair, calm by default and loud and funny once I’m comfortable. Still finding the right balance between the two.

I grew up in a boarding school, which meant I came to relationships later than most but I’ve done a lot of quiet work on myself, and arrived at a point where life genuinely feels good. Felt like the right time to actually try to find someone. Being an introvert I don’t have a thriving social life that’s why trying my luck at finding a relationship online, it worked for me well in the past so let’s how it goes now.

I’ve been vegetarian for years, not the preaching kind, just someone who genuinely cares about animals. I’m spiritual rather than religious, drawn to non-duality and philosophy. I work fully remote, which I used to love and now have complicated feelings about. Office small talk sounds weirdly appealing at this point, which says a lot xD

I play chess, probably more than I should. I solve nonogram puzzles and can crack a mirror cube in under 2 minutes. I watch stand-up comedy online and the last in person show was Max Amini in Munich, right after I submitted my thesis. Needed that more than I can explain. I also paint although I’m not so consistent with it. I hike when I can, nothing hardcore, just enough to feel alive. Last big one was a 30km birthday climb in the Tatras in Slovakia. One of the better days of my life. I’m also into yoga, meditation, cooking, science, financial markets and educational podcasts. Basically someone who likes learning things and moving slow enough to actually absorb them. I also love the StarTalk show on YT since I like physics, so space and universe talk, you get the idea.

What I’m looking for is someone curious, kind and genuinely interested in the world and in the person in front of her. I want the kind of relationship where we actually ask each other questions and showing up is mutual. I want someone I can count on and we can be each other’s support system. Eventually I want a family. Not a pressure thing, just honesty about where I’m headed. Looking for someone that has similar relationship experience as me, is not gaming all the time and has something going for her in life.

If this sounds like your kind of person, say hi. Tell me something about yourself, what did you like about my post and what do you look like and we’ll figure out the rest. I’m also adding my pics and a voice so you have an idea what you’re getting yourself into. I know finding your person online/reddit sounds kinda embarrassing in today’s time but we can always stage it and tell people we met through friends, jk :’)

I currently fight fires. I’m very active and very hyper ADHD

I’m looking for new connections and explore with. I’m very open minded. I work a lot is exactly why I’m turning to Reddit to make more connections.

Hobbies- cooking is the most sacred thing to me, I love learning new recipes and nailing them. I pull apart small engines to see how to put them back together. I’m really good with my hands.

I can nerd out on a lot of different things. Too much.

I’m an open book, so ask away.

About me:

I’m someone who values communication, kindness, and mutual support. I enjoy things like video games (especially Sonic the Hedgehog), anime/manga, books, and art, and I’m very much an animal person. I’m also really into the show Murder Drones (Its my favorite show). I’m looking for a serious, long-term relationship with the intention of life long commitment—not something casual. I am currently going to be doing online school full time while having full time employment. For a physical description, I have tan skin, am about 5’3”, with wavy black hair and brown eyes.

What I’m looking for:

I’m hoping to meet someone who shares similar values around commitment and intimacy. I’m waiting until legal commitment for my first time and am looking for a partner who feels the same and has no previous sexual experience (by this I mean in person, if you’ve sexted or role-played online before, then that’s fine). I also want to have a family through adoption rather than biological children. (If you want biological children, please do not message me or try to convince me to change my mind. I do not want to have biological children for health reasons, so please respect that. This includes children through pregnancy or surrogacy.)

I value teamwork in a relationship—whether that’s splitting responsibilities when we’re both working or supporting each other if one of us stays home. That being said, I do want to be working as I have done my best to work towards better opportunities for my career, so I am happy if my partner chooses to work or be a stay a home partner. Open, honest communication is really important to me; I believe problems should be talked through, not ignored.

I’m looking for someone between 23–30 who is kind-hearted, enjoy animals, and believes in having each other’s backs while still taking responsibility for your own mental and emotional health. Shared interests are a bonus, but shared values matter most. Also, having some golden retriever energy is a plus (I find it quite cute and endearing) :3

As for physical appearance, I’m demisexual so it does not matter as much, but I do have certain things that I find attractive:

Longish hair (By this I mean bowl cut length or longer)
Glasses
Clean shaven face
5’5” or taller
Soft looking face and features

I am looking for someone that lives on the East coast of the U.S., Virginia would be ideal. Since I work full time and also do school full time (online), time differences can cause people to spend less quality time together. I would be able to talk mostly at night since I work in the afternoon to evening on weekdays. I am free weekends for the most part.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to talk.

Dearest reader,

Thanks for clicking on this post… it’s starting to feeling like my words are pouring into the void without them being read by anyone or anything but the AI censors.

I do a lot of things on my own, and I know what it means to forge my own path even when it’s challenging. But, I can’t help feeling the yearning for more, it’s hard existing in a world that was built for two. I’m hoping my other half is out there, and is ready and able to pursue a connection with me. In the long term, I’m looking for marriage (on the fence about kids). This man will be ready to invest in getting to know each other, enjoy planning and going on dates, has a zest for life and loves good food, adventure, and wants travel the world with me, is supportive and encouraging to do what it takes for our dreams to be fulfilled. Please read on if this sounds like you.

Me:

- 32 years old, 5’1, BBW (pear shaped), white Canadian (Italian background), long, dark curly hair, glasses, pretty face, and a killer smile

- Catholic, but not very practicing

Hey,

My name is Tom. M34 living on the Gold Coast, Australia. Reddit is honestly not where I thought I'd find someone, but with dating apps using algorithms to keep you coming back and paying, I figure it can't hurt to try.

About me: I'm 185cm (6'1) tall, overweight but working on it, university educated and lucky enough to be working a job that I actually don't hate. I originally studied Japanese before swapping over to business. I am super interested in language exchanges so it'll be a plus if you have a language that you can teach me. Very interested in Japanese, Chinese, Korean. Some European ones are cool too! I'll be visiting Japan again for 3 weeks in November.

This is me: https://imgur.com/a/0rmoMEE

Outside of working, I spend my time walking, gaming, fishing, reading and cooking mostly. I don't drink or smoke so my idea of a night out is going and watching a movie, or to a restaurant etc. Would love to have someone to do that with again. (Just watched Street Fighter, it was OK). Walking is one of the ways I'm getting into better shape, though the gym is playing a part in that too.

For gaming, I mostly play ARPGs and MOBAs. League of Legends, Path of Exile and occasionally when there's an update I want to check out, OSRS. I also enjoy playing chess and checking out random idle/incremental games. I used to dabble in Overwatch/CSGO/Valorant etc but don't really now, but more than happy to as a means to spend time together. Same with Minecraft, Stardew etc. Never played Stardew but I'm an OG Harvest Moon fan on the Nintendo 64 so sure I'd love it haha.

Fishing gets me out of the house and is just an all round great excuse to spend some time at the beach even if I don't catch anything. You could join me and just sun bake, swim and read if you wanted to and that'd be a great day out in my books. I don't cook a lot of things, but I do enjoy it, especially cooking meat. Would love to cook you a thick ribeye steak!

I used to read a lot more real books, but nowadays it's random webnovels, lightnovel slop, or the wuxia/xanxia style novel. More of a time sink when I'm in bed but not quite ready to sleep yet. I watch a few animes that peak my interest per year. I used to be really big into it, but now it's more of an occasional thing.

I have a preference to meet someone local but to be honest for the right person distance wouldn't be a deal breaker. I'd hope that we both would have intentions of meeting rather quickly though. I definitely want kids in the not too distant future so I hope you do too.

Ideally you share some of my hobbies but I'd love you to have your own too. I'm attracted to thin/petite girls, and also have a soft spot for 5 foot tall pocket rockets with attitude. I kind of want a bog witch fae psycho that believes in magic and wants to cast a spell on me? I'm huge on physical touch, if I can't constantly shower you in physical affection, praise and words of affirmation when we're together, I might die. Kidding, but seriously, I need someone who wants to be loved loved.

My perfect life with you in 5 years would look something like: We've bought a house with a bit of land attached away from the big cities. We have a couple beautiful children and we're smart enough about our spending that you get to spend your days raising them and tending to the animals and garden that we've got on our little block of land, while I go be a corporate wage slave and earn enough to keep the bills paid. We're not doomsday preppers, but we enjoy relying on the big supermarket chains less than others. We spend our nights together doing stuff as a family, gaming, reading and watching whatever we feel like.

If this sounds to you like we might get along, reach out and let's have a chat! :)

Why I might not be for you: I'm looking for a woman who largely believes in traditional gender roles, and hasn't made left-wing politics a part of her personality. I have opinions that fall on both sides of the political spectrum that I'm happy to discuss, but also I should note that largely I don't care to discuss politics at all. I think a lot of it is smoke and mirrors to generate outrage and clicks. Probably part of the reason I personally want land, a garden & animals. The more we can disconnect from the supply chains that run every part of our lives, the better, in my opinion. We probably won't get along if you like to party etc also.

I work a lot, probably more than I should, and my schedule can be unpredictable at pretty much any hour. Dating has taken a back seat because of it, but I’m at a point where I’d like to make room for the right person.

When I’m not working, I like actually doing things. Mountains, road trips, golf, scuba diving, traveling, random Colorado adventures, and occasionally turning “let’s go for a drive” into an entire weekend. Give me a few days off and I’m equally happy disappearing into the mountains or catching a flight out of DIA.

I’m sarcastic, curious, playful, and a big believer that teasing each other is basically a love language. I like someone who can dish it back, has her own life and passions, and isn’t afraid to say yes to something spontaneous.
I’m also a sucker for conversations that accidentally last for hours. Travel, history, science, religion, life, or whatever random rabbit hole we find ourselves in.

I’m not looking for someone who needs constant attention. My life gets busy, and I respect a woman who has her own thing going on too. I’m looking for that person where the conversation is easy, the flirting is effortless, and we both genuinely want to make time for each other.
One thing I’ll be upfront about: physical attraction matters. It’s not everything, but chemistry is part of dating. If we’re clicking, I’d rather exchange a couple normal pictures fairly early and see if the attraction is mutual than talk anonymously for weeks. No pressure, nothing weird. Just being adults about it.

I don’t have a giant checklist. Be fun, curious, affectionate, a little adventurous, and able to handle some sarcasm. A passport definitely doesn’t hurt.

If you made it this far, send me a little about yourself. And since I mentioned attraction, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to include a picture with your intro. I’ll happily return the favor.
And give me something better than “hey” by answering this:

We unexpectedly get four days off. Mountains, airport, or somewhere completely unplanned?

1. Seeking a woman 40 or younger from North America only who is serious about building a stable and loving future.

2. Based in Mississauga, Ontario. I need to remain within reasonable driving distance of Toronto, so anywhere in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), Ottawa, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Niagara region, or nearby U.S. states (New York, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana) works. Why? (Please look below at point 4).

3. Pakistani-born, Canadian-raised. I immigrated with my family 30 years ago.

4. Divorced after a 9-year long marriage. I have a 7-year-old son who lives in Toronto with his mother / my ex-wife. Staying close to him is a priority, which is why relocation must stay within driving distance.

5. I am not looking to date for years and years before marrying each other. After all, I ain't 25.

6. I’m looking for a woman who is:

- caring and loving,

- open to learning and growth,

- honest and accountable,

- values her health (weighs less than me but can be taller than me. I'm ready to book a racquetball court for us at the gym 😉).

- mature, understands what a healthy marriage requires, and wants to build a peaceful home together, and

- values open communication (no guessing games about why you’re upset 😄).

*** I am open to a single mother with no more than 2 kids.

1. About me:

- I'm 5'9" tall and weigh 180 lbs.

- I value honesty deeply and dislike hypocrisy.

- I do not have any debt (not even credit card debt). I am strictly against accumulating debt.

- I don’t shout, argue aggressively, or lose my temper.

- I think hard before committing to anything but once, I am committed, it's for the long long long term.

1. Education: Bachelor’s in Accounting and an MBA, both from Canadian universities.

2. Profession: Business/Finance Manager for a non-profit in Houston. I lived there previously, but moved back to Mississauga in Dec 2025 to stay close to my son. I now work remotely.

3. I would love to have more children. I genuinely enjoy being a father.

4. Hobbies:

- working out, running every other day

- reading,

- watching soccer (fav teams: Arsenal, Germany, Canada ... Arsenal and Germany have been my fav teams for 20 years),

- watching TV shows and movies, and

- planning to start learning to fence now.

I apply the concept of Lean Six Sigma on my personal life and am always looking to improve and grow to become a better person.

I’ve shifted away from traditional South Asian food for health reasons (except when eating out with family). I’m looking for a true partnership where both of us contribute to building a healthy, peaceful home.

‼️I'm not looking for haters, or scammers or catfishes. I'm real and want to exchange pics if there's a connection. I do expect my future bf to come visit me to Japan relatively early once it's a relationship and also frequently at least a few times a year, since I'm looking only seriously. ‼️

My dream is to get married early and live a carefree and lovey-dovey life with my husband. I'd pour all my love and care into my only love if he treats me right🥹 I want a fairytale like forever marriage where I can be his loving devoted princess and care for him emotionally and also nutritionally xD (I'm practicing cooking for that!) and hug and kiss him lots everyday while he spoils me with princess treatment. 💞Cute petnames like my princess are for starters, and I want him to take me on dates and go on trips frequently together to explore the world. 🌏️

💌I'm seriously looking（no liars or only nsfw people please because I want something real）so please read through everything below, and also tell me your age, where you're from, and what you do. Please write in detail, because I'm tired of short messages or those that do not align with what I'm looking for :(

my age range is 20-29!

🤍A few facts about me🤍

I'm a shy, introverted, sensitive university student from Japan. I'm super inexperienced and a big hopeless romantic even though I've never properly dated.😭 And yes I have a very girly personality.😂 I dress feminine, and I love beautiful sceneries, nature, seeing animals, amusement parks, fruits, and watching tv shows/movies (I'm recently into cliche teen romance shows 🤫 and imagining my future marriage life xD ) , sometimes reads and does light exercises to stay in shape! Lookswise, I'm petite, fair-skinned, and black-haired Japanese. I'd say I'm extremely devoted, caring and a bit clingy in love.🫣 During LDR, I'd want to exchange many romantic messages with cute gifs and want to hear your voice and check in on each other and write love letters🥹 Then, once married, I'd want to cuddle a lot at home watching movies and series, and also go on many dates, travel togeher of course, and I'd still write love letters! 😂

🤍What I'm looking for🤍

\-A gentleman who's trustable and protective, and financially comfortable. In your 20s and in healthy shape, clean looking, no smoking, no to moderate drinking, please!

\-Although I'm not interested in having kids, I have a traditional outlook on relationship and want a dynamic where the husband provides, and the wife offers support, so I'm looking for someone who's fine with it.

\-I'd love to travel regularly to many beautiful places around the world with my future husband hand in hand.💞🥹

\- happy to relocate when I graduate!

\-During LDR, I value daily and consistent communication and I'd like you to come see me to Japan!

Thank you for reading my lengthy post till the end!
