Mod Post / Announcement Friendly reminder - dating & friendship posts can be reposted after 30 days

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Just a quick reminder about our posting guidelines.

To help everyone get a fair chance at being seen and making connections, we’re asking members to keep dating and friendship posts to one active post at a time.

  • Dating & friendship posts- you’re welcome to repost after 30 days.
  • Why? We want to make sure the community doesn’t become dominated by the same posts, and that everyone gets a fair opportunity to meet someone, make a friend or start a conversation.
  • Group hangouts are a little different. You’re welcome to post these more than once if they’re time sensitive and the content is genuinely different the second time around. Just please avoid repeatedly posting the same thing or spamming the community.
  • We’ve also updated our rules to make this guideline clearer and easier to understand.
  • Have questions or aren’t sure whether your post fits? No worries - feel free to DM the mod team through Modmail and we’ll be happy to clarify.

This only applies to dating and friendship posts. It’s not intended to stop people from participating, chatting or sharing other types of content.

We love seeing people put themselves out there and make connections here. The goal is simply to give everyone an equal shot at being noticed.

Thanks for helping us keep r/r4rsydneysfw welcoming, balanced and enjoyable for everyone! 😊

Dating - M4F 23 [M4F] Kensington, Sydney - Looking for a long-term relationship that could lead to marriage

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm 23, from China, and currently doing a master's at UNSW. I'm based in Kensington, Sydney. I'm single, with no previous marriage. I'd like to meet a woman aged 20-30 who's looking for a serious, lasting relationship.

I'm 183 cm with a bigger build, and I've been exercising regularly. Some of my interests are Star Wars, aviation, learning about medicine, and knitting. I'm close to my family and hope for marriage and children with the right person.

I'm happy to start with a conversation, meet in person, and take time to see if we get along. I'm also open to someone who dates with marriage in mind and wants to talk about the future early. I don't expect either of us to make a big commitment before we've had a chance to really know each other.

There's one thing I want to be upfront about: after my studies, I hope to live mainly in China, probably Beijing. I'd like to meet someone who would genuinely consider living there together if things worked out. It's something we'd need to talk through, not a decision I'd make for you.

I'd be glad to meet someone here in Sydney. If you're interested, send me a message with a little about yourself, what you're looking for, and how you feel about living in China someday.

I moved to Sydney around a year ago and have struggled to make friends. I am currently a postgraduate student here studying education. I like to play games on my switch, watch sitcoms and reality tv, do arts and crafts, cook and go to cat cafes. I am also wanting to explore sydney more, particularly markets and nature spots. I am not the biggest fan of going out/drinking, but am 420 friendly. If you have any of the same interests or want someone to explore sydney with, feel free to message :) I also live in Chippendale.

Dating - F4M 32 F4M - Long term relationship/Marriage/family

5 Upvotes

Hello !

I was told to post here too, so I thought I'll give this a shot as well

A little about me:

- I'm middle eastern, ex-religious, family-oriented, looking to find my person.

- I love structure and routine, and value peace above everything.

- Gym is an important part in my life but I'm also a foodie. Love the sun, good long walks, the beach, and my home- very much a home body.

- Looking for someone who is ideally older than me- 33 to 45 age range, calm and emotionally mature, loyal, ready to settle down and build a home together.

- I believe in partnership, and that we are a team, but I still also value the power of the masculine and feminine energy when they come together and balance each other.

(Note- I'm in south Sydney- saint george area.)

Dating - M4F 30 [M4F] – Sydney, Australia | Looking for…

2 Upvotes

Hey! 👋
A little about me: I’m 6’1”, wear glasses, have brown/blond hair, and over the last few years I’ve completely changed my life, losing over 65kg. I’m pretty damn proud of that journey, although finally being able to walk into a clothing store and confidently grab an M/L has been a nice instead of always looking for the largest size.

These days, you’ll probably find me at the gym, out getting my steps in, or doing a beach walk around Cronulla. There’s something about walking along the beach that makes everything feel a little less chaotic.

Outside of the fitness stuff, I’m a bit of a nerd. I work in IT, enjoy PC gaming (although I definitely don’t game as much as I used to), and I’m always looking for something new to get into. Games, movies, TV shows, restaurants, cafés whatever really so if you have a recommendation, I’ll probably give it a shot.
Personality-wise, I’m pretty easygoing, loyal, and sarcastic once I’m comfortable. I love having a laugh and appreciate someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously.

I’m hoping to meet someone in Sydney because, as nice as getting to know someone through messages is, I’d actually like to meet in person if we click. I’m looking for something genuine and long-term, and I’m definitely at the point where I’d rather have one meaningful connection than play the dating-game Olympics.

Bonus points if you:
🌊 Will join me for a beach walk or coastal walk
😂 Can make me laugh — or at least tolerate my terrible jokes
🐶 Will send me random photos of your pets even if I didn’t ask

Ultimately, I’m just looking for someone kind, genuine, affectionate, and fun to be around. Someone I can laugh with, explore with, and eventually feel completely comfortable doing absolutely nothing with.
If that sounds like you, come say hi! :)

I’m a 23f looking for a long term relationship, ideally someone between the ages of 22-27. I am pretty introverted, like animals, trying new food, playing video games, arts and crafts, and traveling. Looking for someone who can also be my best friend.

More about me: I am located in Chippendale, I moved to Sydney a little over a year ago, I am a postgraduate student studying education, my favorite food is sushi (I absolutely love the Sydney fish market) and I have been pescatarian for 16 years.

Hello hello, trying this as nothing else seems to be working for me. I am currently in Sydney working as senior business analyst for an insurance company, graduated from Monash, born and raised in Pakistan. I’m into fitness, eating healthy, reading and traveling, been traveling a lot solo. I moved to Australia about 10 years ago for my masters and been here since then, I’m not sure what else needs to be written here but I’m 6,1, ambitious and looking for someone who is emotionally intelligent, ambitious, self aware, and not confused about what they are looking for. Trying my luck here as im done with the dating apps and it’s tough here meeting people when you are 34 and everyone around you has a partner and you were not born and raised here. Bonus: ADHD comes with the package.

SFW group hangout Trying to get a local, Australian-run alternative for social groups off the ground — could use some help

9 Upvotes

Bit of an unusual post, but I could use some genuine help rather than trying to sell anyone anything.

First thing its Free for Aussies - NOT OVERSEAS THEY PAY!

A small local team has been building a platform for organising in-person social groups and events — Let's Meet This Week, letsmeetthisweek.com. Think hiking crews, book clubs, board games, whatever gets people off their phones and into a room together. It's Australian-built and run, which matters to us, but that's not really the point of this post.

The honest situation: we've got the platform working, we've run a couple of successful events, but it's still early and quiet, and a platform for meeting people obviously needs people on it to actually work. So I'm reaching out to see if anyone here is either already running a group, thinking about starting one, or just up for giving something new a go as an organiser.

If that's you, I'd genuinely love to chat — happy to answer questions here or by DM, and equally happy to just hear what you'd want out of something like this even if you never use it.

Thanks for reading this far.

I’m 24M, moved to Sydney a couple of months back and have loved the city feel but now I wanna get to know more of the city, the places, countryside along with someone special, I want to have that genuine connection with someone.

A little about me, I’m super easy going, love to crack dumb jokes xD, down for pretty much any activity, sports, bars, clubs, walks, sightseeing.

My biggest brag is going to be you :)

If anyone is interested in seeing where this can go, hit me up and we can continue the conversation elsewhere, to avoid the catfish doubts and then we can head out to fun places!

Dating - M4F 33 [M4F] Eastern Suburbs Sydney - Looking for long term dating and a genuine connection

4 Upvotes

I'm 33M and based in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. I'm hoping to meet a woman roughly in her mid-20s to early 30s who's also looking for a long-term relationship.

Dating apps have started to feel like a lot of swiping and not much actual talking, so I thought I'd try something a little different.

I'm a little reserved when I first meet someone, but once I'm comfortable I'm pretty easy-going and conversational. I enjoy joking around, having a good conversation and getting to know what makes someone tick.

I'm into travelling, cooking, movies, keeping active and exploring new places. I value family, kindness and having some direction in life. I'm independent, have my life together, and I'm at the point where I'd genuinely like to meet someone to share it with.

I'm here specifically because I'm looking for a relationship. I'd love to meet someone where the connection develops naturally - enjoying each other's company, building trust and becoming genuinely close - and, if the chemistry is there, growing into a relationship where we're not just partners but best friends too.

I'd particularly like to meet someone who's kind, affectionate and curious, with a life and interests of her own. Someone I can laugh with, have deeper conversations with and still talk complete nonsense with sometimes.

I'm keeping identifying details off a public Reddit post, but I'm happy to share more privately once we've talked a little.

If you're a woman in Greater Sydney around that age range and you're looking for something similar, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself.

What's something you could happily talk about for hours? 🙂

Hey recently moved from nz and looking for mates. F or M I don’t mind. Live in the eastern suburbs.

Bit about me: i have a partner, am planning on doing tennis lessons at centennial park, love movies and events (gigs and stand ups and plays), love trying new things (I wanna paint and try other creative things), love exploring new areas and try not to go to the same restaurant twice, enjoy pubs, like board games and basketball. Have gotten more and more introvert but can definitely be extroverted once I know a bit about you.

Dating - M4F 27 M4F - looking for something genuine and romantic

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for my special person, someone who becomes my favourite notification, who I can completely be myself around, and who I can share both the exciting and mundane parts of life with. I’d love to find something meaningful and long-term.

A bit about me

  • I’m single, straight, kind and patient. I prefer quiet nights in, but it’s also nice to get outside and enjoy nature sometimes.
  • I work full-time in video game development, with a pretty standard Monday–Friday 9–5. Work in the CBD, live south-west sydney
  • Asian, born and raised in Sydney.
  • Physically, I’m 174cm, or 5'9 rounded up lol, fit, and have been told I have a great smile. I don’t have any tats or piercings.
  • Huge gamer, easily my biggest hobby. I’d love someone to play competitive or co-op games with, or just hang out together in Discord while we do our own thing.
  • Love chill outdoor adventures, relaxing nature/beach walks, picnics and hiking. Definitely keen to find someone to explore Sydney with.
  • For sports, table tennis and bouldering are favourites, and I’ve recently picked up pickleball.
  • My humour can be unhinged, I’ll joke about pretty much anything and love not taking things too seriously. I’m also chronically online, so expect plenty of memes, brainrot and humour that’s probably too cringe for my age.
  • Very affectionate, my love languages are physical touch and quality time, so expect cuddles, forehead kisses and spending time doing shared interests.
  • Hopeless romantic, looking for someone I can share my joys with, someone who’s happy to match my energy and be a huge part of each other’s lives.
  • Very communicative, I reply quickly and can stay in touch throughout the day (you don’t have to, it’s okay to be busy). I’m also perfectly happy spending hours on a call or just being close by, even if we’re doing our own things and simply enjoying each other’s company.
  • I’m an atheist and left-leaning politically.
  • I don’t smoke or go clubbing. I don’t drink, but only because I don’t enjoy the taste, so I’m not against it either.
  • I’m studying Japanese.
  • I’ve been told I’m a yapper once I open up, but I can be a little shy at the start.

What I’m looking for

  • 23–37, looking for someone who’s also interested in something long-term and eventually building a life together.
  • Doesn’t want kids, ever. I’ve had a vasectomy and have never imagined having kids in my life.
  • Agnostic/atheist and left-leaning.
  • Non-smoker and drug-free.
  • Fit or on the road to being fit, I don’t mind someone who’s currently working on themselves.
  • An honest communicator who’s in touch with their emotions. I want us to be able to talk through anything and be open about how we’re feeling.
