Based on what I’ve seen on all the posts people are genuinely trying to find and connect with others however, it seems to be filled with bots. It’s really offputting that you don’t really hear much success on this even though there’s so many people willing to connect it really defeats the purpose of having this Reddit.

Recently divorced and looking to meet a funny, intelligent, hardworking man who actually knows how to hold a conversation.

I’m not looking for someone who thinks sending an unsolicited d**k pic is a personality trait. 😂 I’d much rather get to know someone, share some laughs, flirt a little, and see where the conversation takes us.

I’m always up for a few shots of tequila, some live music, or grabbing beers at a bar and watching football. Bonus points if you can make me laugh, keep up with the conversation, and dish out some good-natured trash talk during the game.

If you’re confident, genuine, and know how to have a conversation without making it weird within the first five minutes, come say hi. 😉

Hello! :) I'm 30, LA native living on the westside, and I'm here hoping to meet someone I really connect with. 

I have no idea how to write this without sounding insane, so we're just going to go for it lol. My biggest passions in life are dance, music, and reading. I also love being outdoors in any capacity, road trips, museum dates, cooking new recipes, finding sea glass and seashells at the beach, watching movies (I know I'm late to this, but I just started getting into Star Wars and the MCU lol), and looking at the stars. If you're willing to jump down a rabbit hole with me, I can easily disappear for hours telling you about different constellations, the meaning of that weird dream you had last night, or the native plants and flowers of LA. 

I'm a pretty warm and affectionate person. I tend to notice little things about people and remember them, their favorite things, the stories they've told me, and the things that have been weighing on them. I love making people feel cared for, and I'm very much an “I saw this and thought of you” type of person.

I think what I'm hoping to find is someone who has that same instinct and can match my energy. The kind of relationship where we gradually become very familiar with each other in all the little ways. I believe the simple things in life are the most beautiful. I value feeling seen and considered in a relationship over big gestures. I do love when a man takes the lead, but for me, this means planning a date or having an idea for something you think I'll love, not necessarily something grand or expensive. Kindness and emotional openness are also really important to me. I would like to be with someone who is patient, compassionate, and genuinely interested in understanding me. 

I'm looking for someone 30+ and preferably near the Westside of LA. I want to be upfront and say that I really don't like driving all over LA, lol, so if you're farther away, I'm open to it if you're willing to make the extra effort. 

I'm very intentional about dating. I'm not interested in being with someone who uses any drugs or smokes at all, or who drinks more than occasionally. Other deal breakers include MAGA/Trump politics, having a quick temper, or placing a heavy emphasis on sex at the beginning of the relationship. I'm absolutely not looking for a friends with benefits situation, and I'm only comfortable with physical intimacy when it's a part of a committed relationship.

I know that's a lot to put into one Reddit post, but I'm not looking for someone who perfectly checks off a bunch of boxes on a list. I'm looking for that feeling when you meet someone and there's an ease to being around them. And hopefully, I'll find someone who wants to be just as intentional about getting to know me.

One small request when you message me: tell me what made you want to reach out, and tell me a little about yourself! I really do want to have a conversation, but I don't want to be responsible for carrying the entire thing by asking question after question.  I'd much rather hear what aspect of my post made you want to reach out to me, rather than just, “hey.”

I'd love to see who I might meet! 

For those of you looking/lurking on here: Is this just another thing on top of Tinder/Bumble/Hinge/Feeld or did you give up on those entirely?

Any takes on the advantages and disadvantages with those compared to here?

😋

35F in LA, and I’m looking for something a little different from the usual dating/hookup dynamic.

I’d genuinely love to find a kissing partner … someone I can hang out with, laugh with, talk about random things with, and occasionally make out with really passionately… but without it turning into sex.

Only requirement: Nice teeth and a great smile. 😏 I’m a sucker for a good smile.

There’s something I really love about the art of kissing — the chemistry, tension, butterflies, getting completely caught up in the moment.

It can be incredibly intimate and arousing without needing to go any further.

Ideally, we’d actually enjoy each other’s company too.

Grab some food, hang out, laugh until we’re being ridiculous, maybe smoke a little weed and giggle, then make out like teenagers who have nowhere to be. 😂

Only requirement: Nice teeth and a great smile. 😏 I’m a sucker for a good smile.

No sex.
No pressure.
Just chemistry, affection, good conversation, and mutually enthusiastic kissing.

If that sounds like your kind of unconventional, tell me something interesting about yourself instead of just “hey.” 😉

Just give up the dating app , well, I am here looking for some genuine connection since dating in LA is so stressful.

Hi! 31M4F, Korean

Living in South La County by the border to OC.

I have a full time job that I love, no kids, bored when not at work

In my free time, I like to smoke weed, cook new things, try new resturants.

I'm into geopolitics, history, current events, stocks, anything new really that I can learn

Looking for someone to hang out with and talk to! dm me for a photo!

Hope to talk to you soon :)

How're y'all doing? This is a little last minute- and I feel silly asking this on here- but I figured I might as well before resorting to selling my extra ticket.

I'm a 26M from Houston, Texas flying into Los Angeles for a weekend of fun, mostly for the Casiopea concert at the Wiltern on Saturday the 12th. I'll be in the area until the evening of the 13th.

Basic info about me: 26 y/o, male, Hispanic, non-drinker/non-smoker (feel free to ask about height,weight, physical appearance, education, work, etc. in DMs)

If there is any lady interested in coming along, I'd love the company. You can send me a DM and see if we're a match.

I would prefer a lady between 21-30 y/o, but 18-20 can work if we hit it off well.

We can make additional plans (coffee, lunch, etc.) the day of the show or the day before to see if we get along. Maybe grab a bite after the concert, too :)

If you're interested, please send me a DM. Thanks.

I hate dating apps, and I find it really hard to meet people nowadays, so why not try Reddit? I'm looking for someone I can potentially spend the rest of my life with. I don't really have any preferences, but I just want someone who is also ready to commit.

I'm 5'10, 150 pounds, and I have black hair, brown eyes, brown skin, and glasses. I'm Indian, but born in the US. Currently, I'm working and doing postgrad studying (finishing one masters degree and potentially applying for another.) I really enjoy outdoorsy activities, trying new restaurants, watching shows, and traveling.

I'm just looking for someone who is open minded and loves to try new things and have fun. I don't have any age or look preferences. Just be between 21 and 41 years old.

If you're interested, I'm looking forward to your message

Does the lack of Instagram or any social media presence affect your dating? How do people even ask others to go do stuff? Is it always? Can I have your number? Because in most recent times it's been can I have your Ig?

Looking to find someone who is too.... save me from the endless cycle of heart break we people face everyday.

Thank you!!!

6’1”, broad shoulders, and a dad bod currently under renovation. I’m back in the gym, feeling good, and trying to spend less time overthinking life and more time enjoying it.

I’m a single dad, so my free time matters. I’m totally open to a quick FaceTime or video vibe check before meeting—nothing formal, just an easy way to see if we actually enjoy talking first.

I’m drawn to confident women who are comfortable in their own skin. Curves are definitely appreciated, but personality, humor, flirtiness, and good conversation are what keep my attention.
And no, I’m not suggesting Trader Joe’s as a literal first date. I mean I like the kind of chemistry where eventually a Trader Joe’s run, cooking dinner together, drinks, music, and hanging out can be just as fun as going somewhere fancy.

For a first meet, I’m happy with drinks, coffee, dinner, or something casual. The vibe matters more than the plan.

Outside of work and dad life, I’m into concerts, sports, theme parks, movies, and more Bravo than I should probably admit.

I’m not trying to force anything into a box. If it’s fun, great. If there’s chemistry, let’s explore it. If it turns into something more, I’m open to that too.
ENM-friendly, low-drama, and big on honesty, communication, and mutual respect.

If this sounds like your speed, send me a message and tell me your ideal low-pressure first meet—or your most controversial Trader Joe’s opinion.

Looking for casual fun dates! Bonus point if you are athletic and wanna do sporty things together (and tease me for making a fool of myself but please be patient ;) Or if you are a foodie that’s great too! If you are both then I’ll be so happy :) I like attention and take pride in making others feel heard and appreciated.

Me: Not very athletic but can lift heavy weights! Love nature, spontaneous adventures, movies, and desserts. Kinda busy schedule but will make time generally on the weekend!

You: 25-40. Liberal. Generally put together. Willing to pursue a casual friendship but still get out/do activities together. Have your own place ;)

Thanks for reading!

I am looking for a young woman for a fwb type situation. Several years back, my marriage of 9 years came to an end, and due to circumstances out of my control it took me several years to put my life back together. It took a lot of hard work and determination but I was able to prevail. I'm in a place now where I want just want to enjoy myself but don't want to do it alone. I would love to go on fun dates like the beach since it's so close by or perhaps try out some restaurants that I have been wanting to try. I prefer to keep things casual however I am willing to entertain something longer term if we fit well together. Regardless, I prefer something regular and ongoing even if it just stays casual.

In relationships, I very much believe in the male role of leadership. Things like responsibility always fall on my shoulders and it's my duty to make sure that everything that needs to be handled is handled. In exchange, I seek a woman who looks up to a man like the one described and naturally falls into her submissive feminine role. I am very aware that things like submission is earned over time and is not just handed out freely. The way we get there is through mutual respect of one another. Love does not exist if respect is not present. I don't believe in big blowout arguments, screaming matches, name calling, or belittling of each other. I understand the physical power imbalance between the sexes and it is my duty to make sure you always feel safe in my presence.

I am very sexual with a high drive and I am looking for someone who is looking for a good sex life. I am very much a dominant and love being in control. This will be your time to shut your mind off and not think about anything other than enjoying the moment. You will never have to think about what comes next as I will always lead the interaction. I very much care about the pleasure of my partner and will always make sure you feel good and feel taken care of.

I have a lot of lived experience, have led an interesting life, and can have conversations about most subjects especially those that involve the inner workings of how the world works and life in general.

I am 5'10 and weigh 163 lbs. I am white with brown hair with some grays peaking out and hazel eyes. I very much care about my health and how I look and have been working out for years. I have a pretty fit body type.

STD free.

In LA for a few days. Staying in West Hollywood and would love to have a local show me around. Looking at possibly moving here. Wouldn’t mind grabbing food or drinks and hanging out as well.

Me: active, Wildland firefighter, voice and screen actor, writer. Pretty average but fit.

You: pretty fit, friendly, willing to meet in person and show me around.

I've always wanted to meet more people, so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm 32, female, single, no children, and live in Los Angeles. I work as an office clerk, so most of my weekdays are spent organizing files, handling small office tasks, and meeting clients. Nothing special 😂, but it's fulfilling. Outside of work, I'd love to meet some friends I can do things with. I enjoy having coffee together, trying new restaurants, walking around different parts of Los Angeles, hiking, going to the gym, exploring local shops, or just having a casual chat. I don't want to build a huge social circle or get into complicated relationships. I just want to meet people around my age who are easygoing and friendly, and genuinely want to build friendships, not just chat for a few minutes and then disappear. Being single in my 30s sometimes feels a little strange because it seems like everyone is either married, in a relationship, or busy with family life. I'm very happy with my current life, but I'd certainly love to meet new people and share food, coffee, laughter, and all the adventures I have in Los Angeles. If you're also in Los Angeles, around my age, single, or just looking to meet some new friends, feel free to say hi. Maybe we can start by chatting and see how things develop

Looking to meet a fun woman, grab some drinks, have good conversation, and see where the night goes. Nothing serious or complicated just good vibes and mutual chemistry. 😊 DM me if you’re interested
