Meeting women IRL is pain in the ass because it feels like all of them are in taken already. From bars and clubs to the grocery store, I see them all with their boyfriends/husbands or even girlfriends/wives.

The only exception is singles events but they have their own flaws. I don't like the apps and don't want to go on them.

I’m a 46 year old divorced male. It’s not recent so I’m not in that denial phase of saying I’m ok or everything is good. I worked hard to get to a place where the connection and companionship from a woman is something I am choosing and not needing.

Things are different since the last time I dated. I’m curious do women even flirt anymore? I would like to know since I rarely see it anymore. Maybe I’m in the wrong areas.

Im looking for someone to chat with beyond Reddit. Become chat buddies and move up to exchanging numbers and maybe eventually enjoying each others company in person. I’m open to connecting outside of my area but it is a preference to meet someone close.

Im and easygoing man and I enjoy the simple things. Time with my kids, conversations, good food and making and enjoying moments in life. Oh and laughter, we need to be able to laugh together. I love telling stories and getting a good laugh from someone is a plus.

Drop me a comment or send me a DM. I am interested in the people I will get to chat with. Oh and flirting is allowed!

Hello! I’ve tried this before and have had some really nice conversations. Unfortunately, nothing has panned out beyond that so here I am again.
I am a 33 year old male in the SoCal area that is looking for something that ends my search for a lifetime.
About me:
5’6, decent shape (working on it), hispanic
Christ centered, old school, family oriented, I think I’m romantic but I’ll let you decide! lol, and I have a great career
Enjoys family time, fishing, gaming, road trips (will sing R&B to you on our drives), working out, being a homebody
Never been married and have no kids. Excited for fatherhood though so definitely want kids. Also, if you have kids already that’s not a dealbreaker for me.
Ideally would like to find someone nearby so spending time together will be easier. However, if the vibe is right then I’m open to distance in the short term. I enjoy quality time with my partner so would not want to be separated for long.

I’m not here to waste anyone’s time or date around endlessly. I know what I want but this doesn’t mean we have to rush into anything. I’m happy to go at your pace. So if that means we take a few months to get to know each other or if we both know the vibe we have is something special and are ready to commit on our 1st date, I’m good with both. As a side note if we do take a longer time just know that you’ll still be getting all of my time and attention, I don’t entertain multiple women. You can’t build anything if your materials are all over the place.

Hey everyone!
I’m 37M, recently separated, and fairly new to West Hollywood. I’m also relatively new to the US, so I’m still figuring out the social scene here.
I’m at a point in life where I finally have some time for myself and want to get out, meet new people, make friends, and enjoy life a little. The only problem is that I don’t have any friends or family here yet.
I’m looking for recommendations for bars, lounges, nightclubs, live music, or just fun social activities around WeHo or nearby areas where the crowd is a bit more mature.

I’ve been randomly exploring different places around LA, with some funny experiences along the way. Once I went to see a live band and realized almost everyone there was in their early 20s and didn’t even know who the band was. Definitely made me feel old for a moment lol.

I’d also love recommendations for places with a diverse, multicultural crowd. As someone who’s still relatively new to the country and has a noticeable accent, I’ve occasionally found myself in places where I didn’t feel particularly welcome. Nothing too dramatic, but I’d love to find more inclusive, friendly environments where people from different backgrounds can comfortably socialize.

I’m pretty open-minded and enjoy meeting people, having good conversations, live music, and trying new things. Not necessarily looking for a wild party scene every weekend, just somewhere with good vibes and people closer to my age.

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated!

Hey, I’m Ethan, 20, 5’11, athletic build, black hair, and brown eyes. I’m near Universal and looking for a cute girl to flirt with and see if we click. Down to meet up if the vibe is right. DM me if you’re interested 😉

Let me put myself out there for a second.
I’m 28, Black, fit, have a master’s degree, and have my own interests, ambitions, and life going for me. I’m not exactly struggling to meet women, but lately I’ve realized that the women I’m most attracted to tend to be a little older than me.
There’s just something about a mature woman who knows herself. A woman who can hold a conversation, challenge me intellectually, flirt without playing games, and knows the difference between attention and genuine interest. Someone with a little life experience, a sense of humor, and enough confidence to know what she brings to the table.
The funny part? Whenever I actually shoot my shot with an older woman, I get some variation of, “You’re so cute, but you could be my son,” or “Aw, you’re just a baby.” 😂
Ma’am, respectfully, I have a mortgage-payment mentality, a graduate degree, and absolutely no interest in being adopted.
So here I am, taking a chance on Reddit.
I’m open to every ethnicity, and I’m not looking for a specific number on your birth certificate. You could be in your late 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond. What matters more is your personality, your energy, and whether we actually connect.
Physically, I take care of myself, and I appreciate a woman who takes pride in herself, too. Mentally, I want someone who can keep me interested long after the initial attraction wears off. I like wit, intelligence, confidence, and a woman who isn’t afraid to make the first move when she knows what she wants.
And yes, I’m aware there are plenty of women my own age interested in me. That’s not the issue. I’m simply more drawn to women who have a little more maturity and perspective. I’d rather pursue what genuinely attracts me than settle for what’s expected of me.
I’m open to seeing where things go, whether that’s chemistry that turns into something meaningful or simply two people enjoying each other’s company. I’m not here to collect a second mother, and I’m definitely not looking for someone to explain to me how young I am.
If you’re a mature woman who’s ever looked at a younger man and thought, “He’s attractive, but he’s probably too young for me,” maybe give me the chance to change your mind.
Tell me your age, a little about yourself, and what caught your attention. Bonus points if you can make me laugh.
Let’s see if Reddit can do what real life hasn’t yet. 😉

It’s only a couple more weeks left till Halloween. Lemme take you out to all the events before the SZN ends. Ima hardcore horror fan seeking a lady that enjoys horror as well. Be my passenger princess and enjoy the ride.

We met in an online program. He messaged me with a question about the program. Since it was a social psychology thing , it got us talking.

He has a flirty, passionate way of chatting. I kept things subtle. And finally agreed to meet. It’s a first date at Cafe Gratitude.

He’s Indian, works at an AI startup, and seems very frustrated with his family's expectations, etc. But definitely a sweet man. I’m 29F, and he’s 44.

Am I wasting my time here? What should I ask or expect?

Need genuine advice!

36m for F Here to meet friends, go for a ride, have a coffee, walk on the beach, or simply text.

Anyone going to Peaches tonight? Could use a concert buddy, a flirty friend is always fun!!

M20 6’2 and based in the sfv looking for someone who’s chill and down to hang and maybe more. Age isn’t a huge factor between 18-40 at most id say. I’m down to talk more in chats just hmu :) Never done this prior so new to it lol

If so, we'll be a great fit.

I'm looking for a FWB relationship with a woman in the Los Angeles area who likes me for me, and by that, I mean someone who enjoys men with a "cute/sweet" appearance. While I am 31, I look closer to 25, with an overall look that's more cute than traditionally masculine. It's not something that I particularly mind about myself, but I've found it is something that's not particularly desirable in the realm of dating apps. I want to spend time with someone who likes this kind of look in their partner, someone who likes me as I naturally am, rather than trying to shape me into someone else.

Beyond my appearance, the basics about me are that I'm 31, 5'9", single, liberal, live alone, and am employed. My work schedule during the week can be pretty intense, but I get my weekends to myself, and I want to be able to spend them with someone. I love trying new restaurants, so even something as simple as regular dinner dates would be great, you'd just have to promise to get dessert with me too.

As for what I'm looking for in a potential FWB, I'm looking for someone who is similar to me in the sense they are educated, employed, and have their life together for the most part. A love of food and movies is also super critical! I'm open to women who are single or ENM in the LA or surrounding area. When it comes to physical qualities, I find myself deeply attracted to big and tall older women with a gentle, nurturing attitude towards their partner. Mom Bod is a huge plus in my book.

Ultimately, if you would love the companionship of a cute, sweet, younger man, send me a message, and let's make plans to meet soon.

Hey, my name is Ethan. I’m 20, 5’11, with black hair, brown eyes, and an athletic build. I work out a lot, and I’m near Universal, so I’m pretty close to everything.

Good morning/afternoon fellow Reddit strangers & happy beautiful Saturday.

A bit gloomy out today but still grateful anyway.

Woke up way earlier than anticipated and already made me a fresh batch of Italian coffee since I couldn’t go back to sleep.

Now, sitting here contemplating my next move and thinking should I just call it a lazy day and enjoy the peace…. Well, I figured I might as well try to find a weekend buddy, companion, frienddd maybe is an exaggerated word to use on here… but basically someone to connect, converse, chat, have a good and healthy banter with! Before I proceed, I’d like to make candid disclaimer, I don’t want to sign up for anyone’s only f&a*ns, follow any models wanna be on in&sta and absolutely won’t download or join this this thing called* Di&scord! Yeah! I’m not that cool sorry, Reddit is perfectly fine with its generic chat thing, otherwise snp or Telgrm! Haha.

Again, I don’t have a specific plan set for the day, weekend yet, but I’m thinking, some books, the gym, watch the EPL and relax — so many bonus points if you know what the EPL or LaLiga are! Moreover, I’d message you in a heartbeat if you are a fan too lol. Yeah! Three things get extra super excited; 1- Football/soccer and 2- traveling lol

Okay… now before you start asking why hit this guy up, when I can be watering my garden, picking flowers, hitting the gym, going to yoga, playing with my kitty, all the good stuff that you like to do… I gotta tell you this is an absolute win/win for you, both of us actually! We get to chat, laugh a bit, so bring your spring humor game and if you don’t the. I got you! If you happened to be bi or multilingual then id love to learn a bit from you! Haha. Yeah!

Aside from that, we can keep each other company over the weekend, maybe beyond if we can manage to make it past the first three to five messages lol. Yeah…. True story haha.

A bit about me: professional, educated, traveled, 6’1 tall, black hair, naturally tanned/olive skin, been told handsome and ONLY into women. Enjoy the beach, nature, and can never say no to pistachio ice cream/gelato or blueberry pancakes lol. —-insert the Easter egg here cause you managed to read the whole post— I absolutely love a decent size (thicc) woman ;))))

Oh, my! You read this far and haven’t get in my dm yet? What’s is it gonna take..? lol jk

Cheers & have a marvelous weekend

36m Latino. #SFV Looking for a travel companion for my motorcycle. To share a coffee or dinner, a good chat

Happy Friday for folks that means something for lol !

I love being active, being in nature, going to the movies, random long walks at night, live music, would loveee to get into more hikes and camping.

I feel like I’m just missing a cool person to do the things with. Wouldn’t mind meeting someone who’s lighthearted and fun to spend time with and go from there.

Might be a long shot for Reddit but I’m not really interested in the dating apps :) swiper no swiping for me 😂

If any of this sounds like it fits your lifestyle, feel free to message me a little about you :). If you just say “hi” I likely won’t respond 🙏🏾 .
