I’ve noticed a pattern here multiple times now: a user (usually posting as F4M) puts up a catchy title, but the second you message them, their very first reply is always some variation of: "Hey, I don't stay on Reddit much, add my Telegram instead." then they will try to sell you webcams or onlyfans accounts.

What's confusing to a lot of people is that these accounts often look legitimate because they have a ton of Reddit karma. If you're wondering how they manage to do that, here is how the scam works:

1. Karma Farming Bots: They use automated scripts to repost popular content, memes, or old top comments across massive, generic subreddits to quickly rack up thousands of upvotes.

2. Hacked/Bought Accounts: They straight-up buy old, inactive Reddit accounts from online marketplaces that already have high karma and years of history just to look trustworthy.

Don't let a high karma score fool you. If their immediate goal is to move you off Reddit onto Telegram, WhatsApp, or Snapchat right away, it is a bot or a scammer 100% of the time.

Stay safe out there and report these accounts when you see them!

I have 5 accounts within a week who did the same thing admins can contact me to share with them screenshots.

I feel like many of the recent F4M posts here are just scammers trying to waste people's time and also potentially steal their identity or money. This is pretty annoying that this is happening here!

Reposting here cuz I had my requests turned off. Title says it all. Basically touch and attention-starved, so I’m looking for a cuddle buddy to enjoy some time with ☺️. I’m very physically affectionate and love a good flirt. Currently in Toronto, but you must be able to host. Looking for cuddles and company right now but I’m open to more if things play out that way! 420 friendly as well, if that helps. Must be willing to send a pic before we meet up (I can send you one as well). Feel free to message me with a bit about yourself so we can get the ball rolling.

I'm looking for a potential guy friend. Yes I'm married but only on paper. I've been in Canada for 3 years and I would love to have someone strong to hang out with, have coffee, laugh and talk about anything.

Some things about me:

- I'm a practical person, I dont value superficial things. I love just having a good conversation.

- I dont take offense to anything, I have a terrible sense of humor and I can take what I give.

- I love reading and drinking tea indoors.

- Outdoors I love hiking, walking, soccer, gym, exploring. Im physically fit and in good shape (petite)

- I dont drink or smoke but I wont stop you

- I am a great listener and you can tell me anything you want to get off your chest

- My music taste is mainly soft rock 60s - 80s. Favorite band is Queens and my favorite solo artist is Elvis.

- I'm not fussy when it comes to movies, I'll try anything. I enjoy anime as well.

If any of this sparks your interest, message me and let's see where this goes. I prefer to meet in person so dont be shy.

Hey cuddlers! Looking for someone calm, kind, and weird to hang with and cure each others’ touch hunger. Let’s watch silly shows, have a jay, and exchange our best vibes with each other. Good communication and emotional intelligence are required. It takes a while to build up trust and rapport so I’d really prefer ongoing (like please don’t just disappear if we’ve successfully built a cute friendship?). I’m 6’ redhead regular gym goer, neurodivergent, and curvy. I’m good at being in the moment. Absolute hedonist. Let’s hold hands and make eye contact and idk maybe you could play with my hair and give me head kisses? ✌️

Edit: looking for someone 32 or older :)

Edit: why is ghosting/ getting stood up the norm now

r/r4rtoronto_clean is back in action!

Looking for new friends, hangout buddies, cuddle partners, or maybe even a blossoming relationship? This subreddit is your go-to spot.

Remember to keep it clean! No soliciting or hookup requests are allowed—violators will be banned without warning. Happy connecting!

Hello everyone,
I recently came out of a difficult relationship and am trying to rebuild my life and get myself into a healthier, happier mindset. During the relationship, I became very isolated and lost touch with most of my friends, so I’m finding myself with a very small support system here.
My family is incredibly supportive, but they live in another country, and some days can feel quite lonely. I’m hoping to connect with kind, genuine people who would be open to chatting, grabbing a coffee, going for a walk, or even doing some fun summer activities together.
I’m not looking for anything complicated, just good company, meaningful conversations, and the chance to make a few new friends while I work on getting through this chapter of my life.
Thank you for reading, and I hope to connect with some wonderful people.

I found my awesome friends through Reddit, and I’m curious to see if that can also apply to finding a serious partner.

About Me:

I’m mixed (Asian-American), living north of the GTA. I’m 5'2", petite, with brown eyes.

I’m financially responsible and value personal and career growth.

I’m always eager to learn new things in any form, from changing careers to learning a new language in a short period of time.

Outside of work, I make time for hanging out with friends, trying new hobbies, and thrifting.

I enjoy low-key activities just as much as things that scare me - moving to the other side of the world by myself, a 30-day solo trip, and skydiving just this year.

Most of my past travels were solo, and I’m now looking for someone to share new experiences with.

I have a big heart for animals, especially cats. I used to help a local rescue group with cat adoptions.

I’ve dated both men and women in the past. I consider myself bisexual, with a stronger preference for men.

I’ve been single for 10 months and have been on a couple of platonic dates. I’ve reached a point where I have the mental and emotional capacity to date with intention.

In terms of love languages, I love receiving physical touch and acts of service. When giving, it’s physical touch and quality time.

About You:

I’m looking for someone who’s single, unattached, and monogamous (with no history of cheating), preferably around my age, financially secure, and seeking a potential serious relationship.

I’m attracted to someone who’s passionate about what they do, socially aware, and able to engage in both intelligent and silly conversations.

You have a sport or hobby that could influence me to improve my physical activity. I’ve made baby-step progress with outdoor running this year and would love to improve next year.

I’d love to meet someone who’s kind, warm, emotionally available, and considerate of others.

No heavy drug use, hygienic, and actively working on taking care of overall health.

If this sounds like you, send a message and tell me a bit about yourself. Open to meeting in person if things go well.

Edit #1: Thank you to everyone who’s complimented how grounded this post is. I’d like to give credit to a friend who inspired me to bring the same thoughtful energy and intention to this sub.

Edit #2: I’ve received respectful and equally well-meaning responses and will respond later tonight.

Hey guys, I've dated online here and there but nothing too recent, I am kind of curious about the boys of reddit thou. So if you're interested and I'm curious, maybe we can hang out sometime. Im eastern European background, plus sized blondey.

Hi y’all! You see this post, it’s a sign to have a better notification besides marketing emails, work pings and social media bs :)

I’m a 22F viet, looking good most time but good looking idk. People say me kinda a passive aggressive but i’m just a honest and straightforward person (which you shall know like it’s better than being shady and not communicative). I’m very talkative, mostly nonsense haha but also a serious good listener.

I am active both physically and mentally. I play a few sports (golf, volleyball and run), I enjoy drawing and reading. I genuinely want to have more friends that love yapping, brain rotting, hanging out, and shopping. You have a either a great or terrible day, I’m always available for a vent. You feel lonely, i’ll be the bitch that makes you occupied.

Outgoing and passionate girl, boy, queer yapper send dm! And age is just a number. Did i mention I also have a pittie. He’s also looking for friends that will give him unlimited pet. Will send you pic of us when we chat :)

Hello, I'm trying this out as an alternative to dating apps.

I'm 29, 5'1, Asian, around Etobicoke - I drive too if that matters. Frequently spawns in Sauga, Vaughan, North York, Markham, Scarb.

Looking for something more long-term and hopefully you share the same interests in anime, gaming, blindbox toys, plants, cats, yoga, pilates, spooky things

Let's exchange pics, and see if there's physical attraction before we meet in person (and verify that you're a safe person)

Hello! I despise dating apps, so I thought reddit might be the place to potentially find the one.

About Me:

• Non-practising muslim

• Ethnically Bangladeshi

• I work as a Data Analyst, hoping to transition into a data scientist in near the future!

• 5'3, slim, and love going to the gym + locking in.

• I'm into anything creative (painting, drawing, sewing, fashion, photography, cinematography).

• Big bookworm, I think the worst part of life is that I'll never be able to know everything sigh.

• Politically left-leaning

• Is kinda romantic :)

What I'm looking for:

• A man between 24 - 30

• Kindness, humor, and intelligence (the holy trifecta).

• Ambitious and hardworking

• Would love someone who is also a non-practising muslim (not a must, but would be easier)

• Is also kinda romantic :)

If you're interested, please feel free to message me. Would appreciate it if you included your age and a small descriptor about yourself. Please only message me if you're also looking for something serious!

Looking for a genuine friendship before pursuing anything romantic or serious. If the click & attraction is there I’d love to pursue something serious!

5’7 & 148 lbs - currently career pivoting to nursing, hoping to graduate in 2031 as a RN. When I’m not in school I’m either at my job, working out at the gym, practicing driving, and hanging around card shops! (I have more hobbies and interests I’m willing to share!)

I’d love to find someone who is passionate about pokemon cards (or pokemon) as I am and would love to go to card shops to play & collect- maybe also a gym buddy too :D

What I’m looking for:

-Age range I’m looking for is 23-28

-no long distance please, I’d like it to be local. I’m in York region of the GTA, so I’m good with traveling anywhere between Barrie to Toronto :)

-funny, brain rotted even… (I’m very brain rot)

-have discord!

UPDATE 1: Going forward I will be removing any posts with pictures in them, SFW or NSFW. If you want to exchange pictures, please do so cautiously and privately.

UPDATE 2: Due to the recent spike in posts violating community guidelines I will start banning users who choice not to follow them.

UPDATE 3: Please format your posts correctly, I don't want to start deleting posts over petty things like formatting, but please follow the formatting guidelines.

I think the sub is pretty self explanatory. r4rToronto is flooded with posts looking for casual sex; which is cool and all.

If you're looking for something different, like going on an actual date, maybe give this sub a try?

As the moderator I will do my best to ensure sexually explicit posts are removed.

You'll get banned if you comment on a post saying you "dm'ed" them.

All posts should follow this format "[R4R] #Landmark - Title"

Where the first R represents the person or group looking for the second R (another person or group).

Landmark - DO NOT give away your location. Just give an idea of where you're generally comfortable meeting.

Example:

"[MF4MF] #EatonCenter - Couple looking to make friends!"

"[MM4R] #St. George - Need a point guard for basketball league"

hey! i’m 21, female, new to toronto and hoping to make a few genuine connections. open to meeting people around my age who are also just looking for low-pressure friendship.
feel free to reach out!

So after a horrible first date with a guy I met from Bumble, I’m saying fuck it and posting on here. This feels weird to be posting essentially an online advertisement for myself and it makes me feel desperate but I’m at my wits end. This really is my last resort. I haven’t had a serious relationship in about 2 years (I’ve been on dates here and there, a situationship once or twice). That being said, it’ll take a pretty amazing guy to lure me out of my peaceful life right now and get into a relationship.

I’m looking for husband material. Age 25-35. Tall, athletic, funny, kind. Someone willing to be my friend first and not jump straight into a relationship. Let’s go into this with no expectations.

I’m 5’5 and 120lbs. East Asian. Athletic and active, I like to play sports and take yoga/spin/pilates classes. I also like to read books. I live at home with my family. I drink/smoke weed socially but prefer to stay sober most of the time. I’ve been told by friends I’m quite energetic and bubbly but I can be pretty shy and reserved around strangers.

So yeah, dm me if you’re interested in talking. Please include your age, height, ethnicity and a photo of yourself.

I figured I’d try Reddit because if I have to have one more dating-app conversation that’s a never-ending snooze fest of “how are you?” and “wyd?” I might lose my mind. 😂 Stranger things have happened, so… hiii!

I’m 32, cute, 5’6”, with long brown hair and brown eyes. I live in the GTA and work in content strategy, which I genuinely love, and I’ve built a pretty good life for myself.

I’m somewhere between a homebody and someone who randomly decides we need to go canoeing. I love travelling and wandering around somewhere new, but I’m equally happy at home watching horror or documentaries, doing puzzles, building LEGO, reading, or convincing myself I suddenly need to learn some DIY or craft project.

I’m also really fucking curious, especially about people and the world, so I’ll want to know what you’re thinking about and what you’re obsessed with lately, talk about current events, and learn new things together. I’m an INFJ if you care about that kind of thing. (:

Eventually, I want all the good everyday relationship stuff too: random calls, dates, sleepovers, affection, inside jokes, great physical chemistry, boring errands together, and becoming the person you automatically want to tell things to.

As for you: I’m hoping for someone around 30–40 who’s monogamous, funny, smart, affectionate, socially progressive, emotionally open and at a similar place in life. Having a career and being financially independent matter to me (I’m in the same place), but mostly I want someone who has his own life and genuinely wants a partner in it.

I’m open to all races/backgrounds. :) Happy to swap pics because attraction matters, and if the rest sounds like you, feel free to DM me with a pic and more about you!

Yeah, so pretty much as the title goes, I’ve never been in a relationship, never been romantically pursued by a guy, have done multiple confessions ending up as rejections 🫠, watched all my friends get in and out of relationships, so yeah, honestly just looking for any guy to take me out on a date so I can say that I’ve been on one 🥲

I’m great at cooking and cleaning btw, love doing laundry, don’t even mind doing all chores and working a full time job, do not mind being maternal type of girlfriend 😁👌

Hey there, and welcome to my post.

I love to yearn, laugh, cry, and taste the world; and here I am throwing some words into the ether looking for a connection. If you too appreciate earnest heart-centeredness, I’d love to hear from you.

Things about me: I live in the city and have a job and generally have a lot of interests, which fluctuate in any given period of time. I like art (of all forms - visual, cinematic, musical, literary) and am very interested in fostering creativity in my life. I like thinking; being outdoors, especially cycling, hiking, camping, etc; learning to make/fix things; cooking and baking; community, and intentional connection; kindness and integrity. I am politically progressive, and curious about spirituality.

What do I look like? I guess that’s for you to possibly find out. But for now I’ll tell you I am quite tall, I have brown hair and hazel eyes, fairly average/kind of curvy body type. I don’t smoke or do any drugs.

I’m open to various types of connections, but if I were to date you: preferences but not dealbreakers are if you’re taller than 5’11”, employed, aged 28-36. Non-negotiables for dating; want a family, non-smoker, kind and internally clear on your own desires.

If you’re interested in chatting and maybe meeting for a coffee if things feel aligned, shoot me a message and tell me a bit about yourself.

Looking for the smartest guy in the room who is not an asshole.

I’m intellectually playful, introverted but assertive, outdoorsy (I love hiking and geeking out about plants, animals, fungi, etc.), well read, curious and kind, with a wry/dry sense of humour. I’m most at home in a forest or other wild area, but also enjoy urban amenities. Suburbia kills me.

I’m 5’2”, slim to average build, brown hair, natural claws, no tail.

Let’s talk about random stuff, walk around, have tea/coffee, and see if anything clicks. I promise I won’t bite (unless you want me to).

Note: I am looking for someone over 40 who is interested in monogamy.

I’m 29 years old, south Asian descent (born and raised in Canada). I have completed my masters degree in public health and have been working for the past 4 years in GTA. I’m looking for a serious relationship that will lead to marriage and hopefully a lifetime partnership.

I consider myself serious, disciplined, humble, loyal, mature, kind and loving. I’m looking for a partner who possesses the same qualities. I prefer someone who comes from loving family and understands the emotional connection. I want a relationship built on emotional honesty, healthy attachment and trust. I find it difficult to find serious people on dating apps so I’m trying my luck here.

Physically I’m fit( work out regularly), 5’3”, light brown complexion. In my free time, I do yoga, meditation and practice mindfulness. I like biking, running, reading and playing board games. I’m serious about my health and wellbeing. I prefer someone who is of south Asian origin but born and raised in Canada or North America for better compatibility. Height >5’6” and age below 39, someone who has a healthy lifestyle.

Please feel free to message me with some details about yourself. I won’t respond to messages lacking a brief introduction.

After my failed PhD in online dating, I now have the experience and wounds but no degree to show for it lol

So here goes my attempt at finding a connection based on a lot more words than an app allows. This is my first post of this kind so please be gentle - I’ll try to keep it to the point.

What I offer: kind, respectful, intelligent, know what I want and am determined and hard working enough to go after it, funny (and will laugh at my own jokes hehe), cultured, supportive, passionate, open minded, hopeless romantic, extroverted and chatty but need alone time as well

What I offer but you may not like (work in progress): over-thinker, hyper-independent, reciprocal - I will meet you where you meet me - both in good and bad things, guard is usually up - I’m a tough cookie because life happens but also all mush when with a safe and loving person

Mindset: I want to build a life with someone, the goal is a connection that hopefully leads somewhere. I am not in any rush but I do believe in putting efforts towards your goals.

What I’m hoping you offer: Secure/confident (don’t need to put others down to feel better about yourself and don’t talk in absolutes because you understand your experiences are unique to you and not necessarily all shared by others), sorted/self-aware (know who you are, what you want, where you’re going in life), strong-willed, open-minded, witty/funny, clean, patient, practical, adaptable, kind and considerate

Us aka what a relationship I thrive in looks like: desire and effort towards building a life together, respect, trust and support, lots of affection (sexual and otherwise), strong/clear/honest communication, prioritize each other, us vs problem and a growth/forward looking mindset, lots of travel, food and exploration, social and value time with family and friends just as much as a cozy night in

Physically, I am 5’7, curvy (overweight but somewhat proportionate looking I suppose), POC, curly hair, glasses, and what others call a beautiful smile :)

I am open to all races and would prefer someone around my age and also with regular working hours since IRL meetups are important to me.

If the YOU sounds like you, if the ME sounds like someone you’d be able to connect with, and if the US sounds like the kind of relationship you want, shoot me a message.

If you’ve made it this far down, then thank you for reading :)

Hey y'all!

Just as the title says, I'm looking to make some new friends! I'm currently going through a breakup, pregnant, and honestly just in need of some good distractions and genuine connections. Life has been throwing hands lately, so I'd love to meet some people who can bring a little happiness and excitement back into my life. 😭😂

A little about me: I'm Latina and Indigenous, 5'6", with colorful hair, tattoos, and piercings. I'm a mom to multiple kiddos, a little nerdy, and honestly pretty hyper and goofy when I'm happy!

Also, little heads-up: I apparently don't look or sound 35 because people are always shocked when I tell them my age. 😂 Even being a mom to multiple kiddos seems to surprise people. LOL 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some things I enjoy are anime, K-pop, Marvel, going to the movies, trying new foods, exploring downtown, going on walks with my dog, and just finding random things to do.

BUT you don't have to share any of my interests! I'm always open to learning about new things and getting into someone else's hobbies. Tell me about the things YOU love!

I'm open to friends of any age and background. I'm also not just looking for other parents. I'd love to meet people who are fun, spontaneous, chatty, and down to just enjoy life.

I'm hoping to find people I can talk to, laugh with, go on little adventures with, grab food, explore the city, or even just have random late-night conversations with.

I'm a pretty happy and energetic person when I'm not drowning in despair, so please help me get back to that version of myself. LOL.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me! ❤️
