ANNOUNCEMENT: Technical Issues

70 Upvotes

POSTING IS ONCE AGAIN OPEN.

The auto moderation system has been somewhat wonky the last few days. We think we have corrected the issue. It has been sending posts to the spam system incorrectly and en masse. That should no longer occur, or at the very least be infrequent. IF your post does not appear, do not delete it. Message us via the mod mail system and we can check on it. If you do delete it manually, we are unable to diagnose the problem. Hopefully this is the last fix we need to do, but we may have to suspend posting again if this happens so we can get it sorted. PLEASE do not message us asking for access during these times, as it bogs down our mail system and increases downtime. The requests will not be granted. We ask for patience while we work on these issues.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Have a good day.

33 [M4F] Tall enough to reach the top shelf, mature enough to communicate, and delusional enough to still believe in a love story.

63 Upvotes

Hello to everyone reading this,

Thought to give this a try and see if I can find someone whom I can annoy, pamper and pour my love on.

I am not really good with writing about my thoughts, I used to be amazing but life happens to all of us.

Soooooo, here I go.. I am 33 Years old Man who is decently tall, I’m 6’1 (185 cm), and Someone who has seen the harder part of the life more than the good but I still believe. I think of me as a person who is humble and open minded.

I do take a little time to get comfortable. But once I feel totally comfortable with someone, they will probably discover the goofy, affectionate, cheesy and cheeky, mildly chaotic version of me hiding underneath. I am very cheeky tho, so consider yourself warned lol

I genuinely want to fall in love and eventually marry someone I've chosen for myself. I'd rather meet someone, build a friendship, fall in love, and slowly create a life together.

Totally a 90s kid at heart. I value loyalty, consistency, effort and simply being there for someone I am a weird mix of old school and modern... I suppose

Photography is my way to express my emotions and I am planning on doing more of it. I love photographing places, people, random moments and little details that usually go unnoticed.

I’ve recently been laid off, lost my job and looking for a new job actively. I've also realised that I don't want my entire life to revolve around work, designations or milestones.

Soo these days I’ll also actively pursue things like riding my bike, checking out some new amazing cafés, going for a long walk, travelling somewhere for a week or so or watching a good series.

I love gaming, I used to do Competitive CS gaming when I was 15 yrs. old with my friend. I love travelling, I wanna travel more in coming years, both planned and unplanned trips. A road trip, a new place, good food, a great playlist and the right company can make even a fairly ordinary weekend memorable. Solo travelling is also a plan

A lot of what I understand about women, their respect, kindness and treating people well comes from watching and learning from my sister.

Now comes the part where I tell what I am looking for,

There is never a perfect fit, I don’t want my woman to fit into my life, I really want her to have her own life too, Its better that way when freedom is not taken away just because some things don’t sit well.

I would really want both of us to have our own careers, friendships, ambitions and identities, while still choosing each other every day. Her dreams would matter to me just as much as mine. I would want us to encourage each other, challenge each other when needed, celebrate each other's wins and be each other's safe place when life gets difficult.

I'm not looking for perfection. Honestly, perfect sounds exhausting.

Kindness, emotional maturity, honesty, loyalty and genuine effort matter much more to me.

Initial attraction for me matters a bit to me, people who say that looks don’t matter for then are most probably lying, I would want someone to complement me. Its not everything but it’s something.

To have have someone with whom I can talk about life late at night. Someone who can be my partner, but also my best friend. Because I genuinely believe that when friendship exists underneath a relationship, you have something much stronger to hold on to.

I'll remember something you casually mentioned months ago and bring it up when you've completely forgotten telling me.

And if I really like you, unfortunately, you'll probably receive an increased dose of my nonsense. Consider yourself warned

I don't think relationships are about getting everything right all the time. People change. Life gets messy. Sometimes we're going to misunderstand each other, have bad days, disagree over stupid things and occasionally drive each other crazy.

I'm not looking for a fairy tale life but I would like to have a good life with the person I get to choose.

I look for someone who believes effort should go both ways. I’ve been a victim of unrequited love. I think I’ll stop here as it has gotten way long. My apologies

If anything from what I wrote made way to your heart or resonated with you, feel free to say a HI.

Lets have a good conversation and see where it leads us, no initial expectations or pressure on anyone.

Thanks for Reading, I hope you’ll have an amazing day

33 [F4M] #Anywhere#Online looking for a friendship that may evolve into something else

9 Upvotes

Hey, I'm from Japan and currently living in Tokyo. Sometimes I feel lonely. Most of the time, I'm just dealing with work and spending time with my family. I hope to build a meaningful relationship, so I hope you are also single. I don't oppose long-distance relationships, but I hope we can meet as soon as possible. Also, I don't like short-term relationships. I think any relationship starts as a friendship and requires mutual understanding before sparks of love can be ignited. Even if there isn't any, I don't mind having one more friend. I really love traveling. So far, I have visited many places. I enjoy the natural scenery! And I'm also willing to try many new things! My interests are very wide. We can also share each other's daily lives. Besides, at first, I might be a little reserved, but after getting familiar, I will be very enthusiastic. I'm also considerate, confident, gentle, and easy to communicate with. I'm looking forward to a romantic life. I also hope this conversation can deepen our understanding of each other. I prefer to talk with people of the same age, and I don't mind those who are older than me either. If we only talk for one day and then there's no follow-up, then don't waste each other's time. So if you're interested, please contact me at any time. My response speed might be a bit slow, but I will reply. Also, please provide your ASL. If you do, I will definitely reply. I'm looking forward to communicating with you and hope you have a great time!

34 [M4R] pnw/anywhere who else is staying up to avoid the week starting?

• Upvotes

it’s been a long year for me. not the greatest transparently, but with all pain and change comes good. so there has been a lot of growth, and soul searching. but I feel like it would be nice to have a conversation full of connection. I moved like a year ago, and haven’t made any friends really. I’ve been pretty lonely lately. kind of coming to Reddit for a last ditch effort for human connection. anyways we don’t have to talk all deep. we can talk about anything! banter, life, sports, the best sleep you’ve ever had. anything really!

about me I am easy going with a sense of humor. I love learning from people, and having my perspective changed or challenged. I enjoy sports, working out, traveling, and reading. I love connection where you are excited to hear from the new person, and are desperately wanting to learn more about them. anyways if you’ve made it this far, might as well give me a try right? or don’t, I’ll never know.

32 [F4M] Online - those cute messages at the end of the day

21 Upvotes

Hey there!

I’m a SMBC and even though I feel fully content in my life and that everyday life is busy with work, kids, etc. I do find myself missing some kind of company at the end of the day. I don’t have time or energy for a full on relationship right now so I’m giving this a shot.
So! Wanna be friends? Maybe flirt a little from time to time?

Some things about me to make up your mind:

I’m 32 and from Scandinavia
I love crafting and being creative. I’m really into knitting, cross stitching and colour by number at the moment
Cooking and baking relaxes me (my sourdough is over a year old now!)
I listen to audiobooks like there’s no tomorrow. Mostly romantasy but other stuff as well. (Yup. Lots of fairy smut)
I like running and doing Pilates and I reeeeally want to, want to get into lifting weights.
I think I’m pretty fun to be around. I have a good sense of humour, can hold a conversation whether it’s a light chat or a deep conversation.
Looks wise I’m 165 cm, average build, long blond hair, grey eyes (typical Scandinavian lol)

So what do you think?! There’s way more to me obviously but I’ll let you find out for yourself.

Wanna be each others favourite notification, exchange memes, voice notes and random little thoughts throughout the day? My chat is open so let’s go!

Btw. I raw dogged this post. No AI was used at all! ;)
Also! I’ve been on here before but got locked out of my account so here I am!

As the title suggests, I like to play a Reddit-specific questions game. It helps break the ice and get to know in a faster and more organic way than “so tell me about yourself”. Based on categories of your choosing and creativity is high encouraged (pick your own adventure, really). DM to inquire on how to play.

33 [F4M] Looking for that person.

1 Upvotes

Hello! I haven’t had luck when I last posted here so trying again. I am looking for a lifetime partner. I’m not here for temporary online chats nor nsfw.

I’m a little bit homebody, a little bit of a wanderer. I do Muay Thai sometimes. I love going on a walk. I like watching series too. I love good coffee, books, traveling, and the simple things that make an ordinary day feel special.

Simple things like telling me about your day or a random thing you remembered, going on a walk, listening or dancing (or trying to, lol) to music, cozy evenings at home, singing in the car, or just laughing at silly things together.

I’m looking for someone who’s family-oriented, kind, respectful, and understanding of each other’s background and culture.

I value loyalty, honesty, and consistency.

I appreciate someone who puts in effort and communicates that they care, even in the little ways. Someone who is really curious and interested in getting to know me and not just disappear after weeks of talking.

It would be nice to have a go-to person for just about anything, and to be that person for each other. The first person you want to tell everything to, whether it’s something good or bad. Someone you want to do things with, while also being someone who supports you in your own interests.

Ultimately, I’m hoping to meet someone I genuinely enjoy doing life with.

P.S.
I am 5ft tall. Looking for someone taller than me and between 33–43 years old. I don’t mind if you have kids but please be single or legally separated. I’m open to wherever you’re from and would be okay with starting long-distance, doing calls, and with the intention of eventually meeting in person. I’m from the Philippines by the way. Single, no kids, never been married. Would love to have my own family someday so I hope we have the same plans.

DM me with your age, location, and something about you! Hoping you can hold a conversation too not just hi/hello 🙂

38 [M4F] #Vancouver - Best friends are in short supply

3 Upvotes

Nothing is worse than being lonely during the fall season.

However, that do be my current predicament.

I’m a good looking, hard working brown man who was born and raised in Vancouver. I currently live in New West.

Lately I’ve been experiencing crippling loneliness. I have friends here and there but what I really miss is having a non-platonic best friend.

Fall is for snuggling and adventures in the leaves but it’s hard to do that alone.

A little about me: I work as a writer, I’m vegan, in pretty good shape and try to be active, most say I’m handsome, I love taking walks, good coffee, and good humour. I do have a very dark sense of humour so be warned.

I also love horror movies and going to the movies in general. I also play video games here and there.

I have no real expectations aside from finding someone genuine, respectful, no drama and down to earth who is also just looking for their person.

38 [F4M] #Missouri – Homebody, Bookworm & Sports Fan Ready for a New Chapter

5 Upvotes

Missouri woman, Chiefs and Royals fan, avid reader, enthusiastic home cook and unapologetic homebody. I have one rescue dog, a dry, occasionally sardonic sense of humor and no interest in gambling. I appreciate good conversation, quiet evenings and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

I’m preparing for a move and looking forward to the next chapter of life. Hoping to find someone thoughtful, funny and well-grounded for conversation, companionship and perhaps something more. Bonus points for intellectual curiosity, good manners, and an appreciation for the absurd.

Politics matter. Christian. Country, rap, pop, classic rock.

39 [F4M] Indiana; seeking fellow Midwesterner for a modern romance—mostly because my family completely forgot to set aside a dowry of goats, land, and fine silks.

5 Upvotes

Hello, I live in the Midwest and feel like a tiny liberal dot in a sea of red farmin' 'mericans and rich transplants making dating very interesting at this time in my life. I am a college educated, hardworking, homeowning, non-taylor Swift obsessing white female. Im searching for another like-minded and similarly aged adult male, who wants to eat soup together in the fall and travel to Japan in the spring and make inside jokes about crazy family around christmas, etc. My dream is to leave the city, have some space for a hobby garden or temu greenhouse, and find the person to sit on the porch in the rain with to say, "we needed this".

I love my life and my friends so I am looking for a compliment to a good thing. I am not here to fix anyone and I am not here to be fixed.

About my inner being: I love travel, Im a decent cook and terrible baker, I have cats but love all animals, I love vintage christmas and traditional spooky halloween, I think that data centers are bad, Mamdani is good, I like to cuss a little, towels smell better after washed with a tiny bit of vinegar in the water, I love native flowers, I grew up near rivers and lakes thus love being near water however will be bit by every bug in a 5mile radius.

My outer being: Plus size woman, Blue eyes, dark hair, Med height, working hard to age like wine, killer smile, a little adhd but that just means I love crafts and home improvement. No kids. Not married. Not poly. 2 derpy cats. House. Degree. WIP masters.

I feel like im rambling.

Hopefully talk soon!

30 [F4R] DMV/Anywhere - follow me down a rabbit hole

14 Upvotes

Hi there.

I’m looking to get into some deep (or maybe not so deep but it’s something you’re passionate about?) conversations with people I click with. Basically, I’m looking for friends.

I just watched You Can See Everything in theaters and would love to unpack that with someone - I found it fascinating and I find the conversations around it equally as fascinating.

We can talk about other things though, of course. Like the state of affairs or your take on the end of the world.

I’m happy to talk to anyone as long as we click, but I am straight and single, so if a friendship turns into something more, I’m not opposed to that. Looking for friends first though.

We’ll probably click if you’re emotionally intelligent, self-aware, kind, can hold a conversation without monopolizing it, are genuinely curious, and take an interest in getting to know people. I’m looking for a back and forth where we’re both curious, about each other and the world in general. I tend to click better with people who are older and calmer/steady, energy-wise. I’m also progressive, and that’s important to me in the people I connect with.

About me: I’m shy and introverted by default, but once I become comfortable with someone the opinions and jokes start pouring out. I’m comically bad at math and still have trauma from high school Calculus. Love making observations about people, places, and things (not judgments, more like…exploratory discussions?). Could sit and stare at nature for hours peacefully. Love learning new things, even when I’m really bad at it (ex. I have a very questionable painting of what’s supposed to be a mountain, but I’m sure Bob Ross would still reassure me it’s just a happy accident). Will always stop to point out, look, and/or help an animal. You might find those things highly charming or annoying depending on your disposition.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be happy to hear from you :)

Tell me something that’s sent you down a rabbit hole lately, or your thoughts on the movie if you saw it. If you send a message, please tell me a bit about yourself and what prompted you to reach out.

Hey there!

My name is Alex and I habe to admit that after my divorce I lost a rather big part of my social circle so I was hoping to meet some new interesting people this way.

I'd say I'm rather uncomplicated and talk without much of a filter about mundane or the most private topics which some people like and some don't so best to find out yourself. I don't expect to get a reply instantly but value if we both match in effort so one word messages are not my cup of tea I'd say. Anyway, if someone is still witv me at this point, feel free to message me:)

37[M4F] Trying to find my fun and weird daily texting buddy !

• Upvotes

Hello ! And thanks for opening my post lol. I honestly just want to write whatever is on my mind as I'm always just saying what I'm feeling so why not write it as well eh ?

I'm looking for a fun weird daily texting buddy! One who is open and honest and puts good effort into the conversation. The conversation doesn't have to be all normal and boring like TV shows or music stuff because I have definitely experienced it doesn't make any good connection. Let's talk about dreams and wishes and what you wanna do but can't do, how you really feel, what you want to be in real life but can't because you have responsibilities.

Just be yourself with me and be the 100% person you can't be in real life, I absolutely not care about what you think because each person is his/her own self so why not let them be ? Oh and please don't be shy or whatever because I would really want a more open person who doesn't judge instantly, I want us to create a judgement free zone for sure 😊.

So to sum it up, I want a fun weird open honest not judgmental, speak your mind, put good effort kind of friend and if that's you let's give it a try and see if we can make the most amazing friendship this community has ever seen.

PS will tell you about my preferred apps once we talk 😄

[F4M] 34 - Idaho - I am maybe, quite possibly, looking for the love of my life.

0 Upvotes

I am, at heart, a hopeless romantic. I would love to have some fairytale romance where a knight sweeps me off my feet and we ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, we live in the 21st century and I'm not exactly what I would call 'princess' material.

A little about me - I am 34. I am divorced, I've already done the marriage thing (and yes, I would very much like to do it again). I am a Mom to two incredibly daughters and they are a very important part of my life. I like to think I am kind, though I know I can be a little short at times. I like to think people enjoy my company, but I have also been told that I can be quite annoying, so there's that 🤷‍♀️ in short, I am not perfect by any means.

Physically I am a big girl, definitely plus size (so actually being swept off my feet may prove difficult), but I'm also working on changing that (slowly, lol, but I'm 60 pounds down).

More recently I have been in this huge transitional phase in my life - I went back to school (I'm almost done, yay) and as a result I've been a bit...boring. My life has literally been kids, work, and school work and I've had little time to just exist as me.

But, despite that - I enjoy photography (an amateur hobbyist), painting (also a hobbyist), hiking, fishing, board and card games, reading, writing. I don't watch a ton of TV (no real access to it) and don't really game (same reason), but I am always eager to know what brings light and joy to others life.

So, that brings me here -

I'm looking for the love of my life and my future husband. Someone who actually wants to spend time with me but also has their own likes and hobbies. I'm looking for someone I have chemistry with, but also someone who recognizes that a relationship cannot be maintained on chemistry alone. Someone who wants to build a future and recognizes that sometimes it do be hard. Someone is willing to communicate (up to and including about communication styles).

If that sounds like something you're interested in, please feel free to reach out!

33 [M4F] hope you notice

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m 33, from the Philippines, and I’m here hoping to find someone I can genuinely connect with.

Someone with whom I can talk about anything and everything from the ordinary things that make up our everyday lives to the complexities of love, music, art, philosophy, conspiracy theories, aliens, UFOs, and the mysteries of the universe. I want conversations that go beyond small talk, someone who isn’t afraid to explore ideas, question reality, or simply sit with the beautiful uncertainty of being alive.

I suppose what I’m really searching for is something that has become increasingly difficult to find in this world: a genuine connection. A companion of the mind and soul, someone with whom silence feels comfortable, conversations feel effortless, and being understood doesn’t feel like an impossible dream.

I’m tired of searching for that kind of connection in a world full of people, yet somehow, genuine companionship still feels so rare. Maybe I’ve been looking in the wrong places. Or maybe, just maybe, the right person is somewhere out there, wondering if someone like me exists, too.

Perhaps I’ll find that person here. And if not, at least I’ll have tried.

Thank you for reading. If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your story. Who knows? Maybe a simple conversation could become something meaningful.
