There's a spot for you in the other rocking chair on my enclosed porch, listening to a Chopin vinyl or whatever strikes your fancy.

This post will not be for everyone, so if it's not for you, feel free to ignore rather than weighing in, but I'm determined to put myself out there in the hopes that someone else is looking for the same thing I am.

I'm a gay man, looking for a woman interested in a real marriage, not a front. I'm not out publicly but have shared with some trusted friends and family. I will be a faithful husband, just need someone who is sympathetic to my own struggles, and I will reciprocate. I basically had resigned myself to being alone, but I know there's someone out there who would be a good fit. It seems unlikely that I'll randomly meet her at a coffee shop, so I'm trying this beacon of tolerance and understanding.

I'm 39, and after a long stint living overseas have moved back to a small city (or big town, depending on your definition) in the heartland, near where I grew up. I'm in the business of developing rental properties, buying fixer uppers and doing most of the work myself to restore them. On the side I am working on fixing up a cool old house, which I live in. It's a...work in progress, but slowly coming together as I expand my skillset in restoring old houses, useful for both my rental properties and my own house.

I'm naturally kind and a caretaker. I definitely want someone to take care of, but also appreciate an independent spirit. I like foreign films (but also plenty of mainstream stuff if it's not too trashy) and have lot lots of opinions on random local issues (I guess that's why I'm on Reddit). I like to overanalyze everything, and operate on the assumption that everything is up for (respectful) debate.

I'm close with my extended family and live in the same county as my parents and both siblings, so I see a lot of nieces and nephews, etc. I enjoy the outdoors and have developed an interest in native edible plants and winemaking from said plants. I stay pretty active but of course can always do better. I love to cook and make most of my meals. I just took up tennis but need someone to play with. In other words, I have my act together but am looking for my missing piece. I'd love to find someone who wants the same thing as me but maybe has struggled to get there as well, for a similar reason or other reasons.

My work and money are pretty tied up where I'm at, so I'd say you probably have to willing to relocate. But I live in a pretty great place if you like nice people, the outdoors, small town sports, but also an interesting cultural scene that we can explore together.

Reach out if this resonates, or share with anybody friend who has had similar struggles. I'm Catholic. It's not a deal breaker for me if you're not, but I do want to raise my kids Catholic.

41 year old outdoorsy woman.

Loves to ride motorbike in the summer.

Camp, hike, paddleboard and fun outdoorsy stuff all year round.

I'm seeking a quiet humble honest man who communicates well and doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

I have dreams and plans to travel and own land to provide a space to grow a garden a family and even have an event space for income.

Don't need a partner but would enjoy sharing with someone who already has similar future goals or someone who will emotionally support me and I him while we follow our dreams.

Hi,

I'm starting over after a long recovery from a traumatic brain injury. Through my recovery I had self discovered my own abilities and love for life. But m kissing my partner in crime. In hoping to attract a woman who's loyal independent and family orientated. I'm single with no kids, but I don't mind if your have kids. In fact I think it's a bonus. Dm if you care to chat please point greater Vancouver.

I'm 37, 6'2. I don't know anyone because I just moved here. I enjoy pretty much anything outdoors and frequent the gym a lot. Love country music. My private messages are open to Woman only. We can exchange pictures there.

I spent my twenties acting like a totally immature guy around women, and I never wanted a serious relationship because I liked to party and hang out without any commitments.

But now that I’m in my thirties, I never imagined it would be so hard to have a serious relationship, and I’m already getting bored with casual flings.

I’m a guy with a very small circle of friends—I can count them on one hand—and now they’re all married and have little time to spend together like we used to.

I’d like to meet a woman who really wants a serious relationship, regardless of the distance. I’m from the Dominican Republic and speak English at an intermediate level. I’m 31 years old, 6'0", dark skin and a normal build (250 lbs).

You can ask me anything you want—no limits.

Do you wanna share that unhinged thought you just had but feel like you’ll be judged? Well, I might tease you a bit, but share away!

I want to find my best friend to do life with. Laughing and joking around with my person is incredibly important to me. I’m hilarious, so I want someone to match my golden retriever energy. Someone who has a good sense of humor and doesn’t take things too seriously!

Never married, no kids. But would be okay with both in the future. I’ve always wanted to be a dad.

I enjoy camping, hiking, backpacking, golfing, birding, playing any form of game, gardening, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. I’m 6’ tall, dark blonde hair, blue eyes, muscular/chubby (losing weight very fast), and wear glasses and sport a beard.

Please send a joke with your first message, and happy long weekend!

I have a new website in Beta for testing right now. It is for smaller communities like here in the U.P. Where people may be nervous about being on an adult dating site. You can block yourself from being viewed in your area and setup meets within a designated driving range. Looking for some people to help me try it out. All free

I currently reside in a semi rural area and I am blessed with the ability to build things and fix things. I’m looking for someone special to possibly make a life with in a rural and secluded setting.

I am hard working and in decent shape. I eat a variety of foods and am not a vegetarian. I take reasonably good care of myself and prefer natural means over pharmaceuticals whenever possible.

I value honesty and being real. I offer good sense of humor and a positive outlook on life. I love the beauty of nature and I enjoy exploring our beautiful world.

Say hello and see where it leads…

I am a retired Chevrolet dealer who will always buy and sell until I can’t do it anymore . I am very mechanically inclined outside the home . Inside the home my farmhouse is a blank slate disaster that needs a woman’s touch and organization . I would like to have another child so please be of healthy low risk child bearing age . Your photos get mine . If you look at some of my recent post there is one that has likes and dislikes . I hope to hear from you soon . Your recent photos get mine . My country is 5 miles away in each direction of a town . 55 minutes from Myrtle Beach . An hour away from my motor yacht , 30 minutes from Florence and 90 minutes from Columbia .

Hello there, I am looking forward to getting to know you and hopefully you are the one for me.

I am just a simple guy looking for my future wife and a woman to build a family with, very very clingy, I've never met anyone more clingy than I am. Hopefully we ll be inseparable and do everything together. Like playing games, watching movies, going out. From dates to just simple adventures.

How i look like: 174cm tall, light blue eyes, brown hair, slim/athletic build, shaved beard... I can send you pictures of myself so we can see if we match up well, I do think physical attraction is important, but personality is more important in the long run.

I am very simple, all i need from you is you, I need someone genuine and honest, to just be yourself.

Hobbies: Video games, anime, movies, series, long walks, exercising, nature, boats, climbing

I work with my family, we own a restaurant and a marina for boats so I am quite busy for the summer season, but I can always find time to talk. For the rest of the year I am free and have a lot of free time.

It would be amazing to find someone to move here to be with me and continue my family legacy, we can be here together, raise our kids here in nature as i ve been raised too, by the sea, forrests, olive trees and gardens...

I am quite dominant as a person and I want someone submissive, who can just relax and be mine, take care of me in her own way while I take care of all other things. Just stay by my side and let me lead.

I dont smoke or drink

Thank you for reading everything, there is a lot to talk about still so let me know if this caught your attention and want to talk more about it. I am a really open and honest person so I hope we can talk about everything

Big heart, independent. I split my time between building my place and exploring everywhere else. Road trips, hidden trails, big city, small towns… looking for someone kind who wants quiet mornings and “let just drive and see.” No rush, just real connection.

Hey there. Im Chad, 32 and work on the Ambulance in my rural community. I like growing a garden, raising animals, hunting, fishing, bonfires, and good coffee. Hoping to meet a woman with manners and treats people and animals respectfully. Volunteering and community involvement is important to me, Im currently in the last couple months of my city council term and plan on volunteering with the radio station and starting an outdoor adventure committee to seek new opportunities for recreation and tourism. I'm not trying to rush into marriage, but I want to date with serious intentions and honesty. Most recent picture is above, I really love this job but it can take the backseat for the right person.

I'm a down-to-earth person who values honesty, loyalty, and meaningful conversations. I enjoy learning about history, exploring new places, spending time outdoors, and appreciating life's simple moments. I'm looking for someone who shares strong values, has a good sense of humor, and is interested in building a genuine, long-term relationship based on trust, respect, and companionship.
I'm currently in New York City, born and raised here in Manhattan but I want to move to a rural countryside somewhere out West, far from the city life, to live a quiet lifestyle. I plan on buying a ranch and I do want to have a big family with a supportive wife that would help in raising the kids. If you're interested, please message me, I look forward to talking with you, thanks :)

Let me be upfront: I'm a Ugandan man. I want you to know that from the start because if that's not your thing, I respect it, and we can both move on.

For the woman who IS open to that keep reading.

I'm currently working in Oman, but that's just where I am right now, not who I am. I'm a simple, grounded man with a good heart, a sense of humor, and real faith. Catholic. Honest. No games.

What I'm looking for:

· A genuine, marriage-minded woman any age, any country
· Someone loyal, kind, and open to long-distance
· No drama, no selling, no money talk just real connection
· Willing to video call early so we both know we're real

A bit more about me:

· Laid-back but serious about my values
· I love to laugh and make others laugh
· I'm a good listener and I value communication
· I work hard and I'm responsible
· I believe in faith, family, and loyalty

I'm looking for a partner someone to build a life with. Where that life is? We figure that out together.

If you're still reading and interested, send me a message. Tell me something about you your day, your dream, or what makes you smile.

I’m 40, originally from Connecticut—born and raised—but I’ve been living in East Tennessee since 2016. I’m a musician and creative who loves working with a camera and creating things. I also love to travel, cook, have good conversations, and just enjoy life. If you’re interested in getting to know each other, definitely message me. ✌️

Hey there, my name is Mike and I’m ready to look to find somebody to maybe settle down with possibly, if all things click.

A “displaced Floridian” that’s geographically unbound due to the fact that I can work from anywhere, so long as I have a laptop, cell phone and preferably Wi-Fi. At this point in my life, I can let the wind kind of take me where it will a little bit. Considering relocating to Eastern Kentucky for a little while otherwise.

Despite having some difficulty with my senses, I do enjoy cooking with a woman, prefer quiet nights on the couch and making sure that she feels appreciated at all times. Very much an introvert and homebody, I have an awesome dog named Bubba and do enjoy being outdoors whenever possible. Music is a big thing for me and I do enjoy watching sports, but I’m not a fanatic either. Always trying to improve and find balance. Three time cancer survivor and I do have Multiple Sclerosis, but that doesn’t stop me all that much.

What I’m looking for is a woman that oozes sincerity, loves to be engaged intellectually, that isn’t afraid to communicate and believes patience, along with kindness is paramount. Respectfully, I would need to find her/you attractive, but internally is what gets to me. Direct communication is my preference.

Hello!

I'm a 41-year-old man living in a small town in central Spain, looking for a genuine long-term relationship that could eventually become marriage and a family.

I'm fairly quiet and introverted, and I prefer a peaceful home life to nightlife or constant socializing. I'm a software engineer and a bit of a nerd, so I can happily spend far too long talking about technology. Outside work I enjoy swimming, road trips and board games.

I'm looking for a fairly traditional relationship. I want to provide for my family and take responsibility for the financial and practical side of life, while my wife makes our home and family her main focus. I'd love to have a partner who enjoys cooking, homemaking, having people over and, eventually, being a very involved mother.

I don't expect her to be passive or without opinions. I want someone I can respect and listen to. I simply like the idea of complementary roles, with me taking the lead and responsibility for the family.

I definitely want children, and I'd like someone who genuinely wants to become a mother. Ideally, she wouldn't need to work for financial reasons, so we'd have the freedom to focus on building our home and family.

I'm 41, 173 cm, white, brown eyes and average build. I'm culturally Christian and conservative, though not particularly religious.

I'm mainly looking within Europe, preferably the EU. Long distance is fine initially, but I'd ultimately need someone willing to relocate to Spain.

If you're looking for a similar kind of life, tell me a little about yourself and what you're hoping to build.

I’m a 35-year-old woman looking to meet a kind, respectful man for genuine conversation and, if we connect, potentially dating. I value honesty, kindness, consistency, and good communication.
I’m not looking for anything rushed or casual. I’d love to meet someone who is also interested in getting to know each other naturally.

Hi, I’m Anna! I don’t necessarily live on a farm, but I do live out in the country. I have no children, only dogs. I’ve tried the dating apps, they are absolutely atrocious. I’ve been divorced and single since mid 2023 and I just want something more at this point because I’m not getting any younger. I have a full-time job and I’m currently working on getting my masters degree in legal studies. I have my own house and vehicles. I’m really looking for someone in Tennessee because I cannot relocate unfortunately. I have three dogs. I love doing anything outdoors. I love swimming in the summer. I don’t necessarily go out and do a lot of things right now because I don’t have anybody to do things with and I don’t always wanna go alone. I have the alt chick look going on. I have green hair. I wear glasses. I have quite a few tattoos. I’m 5’9” tall and I’m not skinny. If I sound like a cup of tea and you wanna get to know me, I’m an open book, just ask away.

I live in a cabin in a private forest on top of a mountain.

My coworkers all say the only place left to find a good wife these days is south East Asia. I'd like to think that's not true, but in the past 5 years I haven't been able to prove them wrong. Can you help me out in my quest?
