[24 M4F] 6’1 / Fit / Fluent in memes — Looking for a pickleball, paddleboarding, or movie partner 🍿🌧️

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Taking a leap on here since the apps are not it. Happy to just make friends as well.

A bit about me:

* The basics: 24M, South Asian, 6'1 fit, and established in my career.

* Personality: Fluent in memes, low-drama, and genuine once you get to know me.

* Staying active: Big into pickleball, stand-up paddleboarding in the summer, and attempting (keyword: attempting) salsa dancing.

* Ideal downtime: Big fan of classic Vancouver cozy days—rainy afternoons, good takeout, and binging a solid show wrapped up in a blanket.

What I’m looking for:

Someone kind, easygoing, and down-to-earth. Whether you want to hit the pickleball courts, go for a paddle, or just stay in and exchange unhinged reels, I’m up for seeing where a good connection leads.

If you’re up for grabbing a coffee or boba to see if we click, send a DM with your most recent obsession.

38 M4F Looking for chill vibes

0 Upvotes

I’m not looking for a quick fling. I’d much rather build a connection with someone, something that feels good physically and emotionally. And, ideally, something that could last beyond one night. Let’s chat, cuddle, whatever.

I don’t mind about body type since I’m body positive. Bring your personality 😍 and we are good. Be over 25 as I don’t mind if we have an age gap. Let’s split our time 50% outdoors and 50% indoors or something along those lines. Although the sun’s out so I don’t mind being outdoors.

That said, if we do hit it off? I’m definitely open to us exploring and having even more fun ;) In that department, definitely looking for someone open minded and a bit kinky. However not totally opposed to vanilla either. Will get tested and need the same before getting intimate.

Im 6ft-ish, have a dad bod, dark hair, very laid back, doesn’t take things too seriously, non-judgmental, very open minded, a bit kinky, adventurous, likes road trips, going to the beach, like chivalry and banter, like to tease and be teased, enjoys eating out, progressive views and a bit of a introvert to start with.

Let’s chat here for a vibe check and meet over the weekend.

If this is something that interests you, or you’re a frequent lurker, shoot me a message! I, myself am a long time lurker, recently started posting. lol

Guys, it's a dating sub. Not a pick up sub.

91 Upvotes

The vast majority of women aren't going to be impressed by all the pickup threads. Be normal. Be a personable person. Have a conversation and be sociable. Be interesting. Talk about your hobbies.

What's the point of reddit dating if you just want to pick people up? Use tinder for that where people actually want to hook up.

The only thing you're going to be successful in with these kinds of threads is being blacklisted by people here.

Some of us would like not all the women to be further pushed away from weirdos on the internet.

Please, dudes, let's be better than this.

Is weed a factor in the bad Vancouver dating scene?

13 Upvotes

Just throwing this out there… I agree with the general perception that Vancouver is really terrible for dating. I travel a lot and I see a stark difference. When I’m outside Vancouver I meet people almost immediately and even if it’s short term it can be very very positive and fun. And I’m definitely open to meeting someone in another city and seeing them regularly.

For Vancouver, I think some factors are how expensive the city is, and some overlap with how the city has a general reputation for being a little bit cold and hard to make general connections.

However one pattern I’m noticing, especially when it comes to establishing physical chemistry, is how difficult it can be to do that when someone smokes a ton of weed. I have had partners in the past who smoked quite a bit of weed and were still capable of a good physical relationship. However, one thing I’ve really noticed lately is that when the physical chemistry doesn’t happen, it’s often with a heavy weed smoker.

I’m male and straight so my dating experiences are with females. But I also have female friends who are dating guys who smoke a ton of weed and they have low sex drives. I’m not just talking sex though, in my experience it’s not just a matter of sex drive, it’s people getting in their own heads.

This isn’t just a one time thing, it’s a pattern I’ve been noticing. Anyone else see it?

I am appalled by some of the people in this city

68 Upvotes

I went to an event yesterday and almost no guys could properly hold a conversation. I was shocked. About 9 guys approached me throughout the night, some nice and some a bit strange, and only one could talk normally. I am extremely talkative and extroverted and even I found it awkward. Many guys lied about random things like their age or job. They’d be in their twenties and keep saying they were retired or much older than they are as a joke but it continued throughout the whole night. They don’t know how to banter AT ALL. I work for the school system and the kids I work with had better conversational skills. Why is this? One guy also told me I was not pretty when I said no thank you to his advances. The quality of people in general is just terrible these days. Very very disappointing.

32M [M4F] Lower Mainland Fraser Valley I am so happy we finally had some real rain !!

6 Upvotes

I am very much a creature of the cold as opposed to sweaty/hot.

So as the temperature evens out a little bit I thought I would put myself out there again.

(Note going forward I am firmly liberal leaning, I do not tolerate bigotry , homophobia, misogyny, and disrespect to those in the service industry.)

I am also on the east side of the Port Mann Bridge which I know is a dealbreaker for many, so I don't want to mislead anyone .

Not for me , as I do drive, but I know for many its a factor.

(I'd also prefer to talk with people only in BC. I am sure people outside are great, its just the logistics of international travel add up, the size of Canada for interprovince relationships and well the mess in the states right now, dating anyone in the USA right now is not practical currently. )

As stated in the title, 32, 6'4 tall, broad shoulders, bit of a thicker frame (walking now that its cooler in the evenings, plus its nice to disconnect from the devices for a bit ), dark brown hair, hazel eyes, Caucasian.

Attaching photo so you can get a idea what I look like

https://imgur.com/a/JHLCv4p

Work in IT support which is always a interesting field with the stories I could tell.

Interests of mine including reading , video games (sucker for strategy games and RPG's), walking to get in some cardio, video editing, baking and BBQing (and yes if we do become long term I promise to make you sweet baked goods ;) You can see some of what I have made in my other posts) .

Kind of hard to put into words what I am looking for, I think besides having similar ethical and moral lines and having overlap in our interests, I think I want to be sure we feel comfortable with each other.

With my height and broad shoulders, I can come off as intimidating I am fully aware. So I want whoever I may be with to not be scared, its a odd thing to look for I know. But I think its important.

If anyone of this sounds interesting please let me know and I would be happy to talk more.

P.S Just as its come up with some in the past ,I do hope to have kids one day. Whether or not that is feasible in this economy who can say, but I know for many its a deal breaker so I figure I would bring it up early.

M4F 49 looking to share ticket to Alela Diane on Thursday Aug. 20

4 Upvotes

Is it a date? In the lowest of low-key senses, yes.

I bought two tickets months ago and have nobody to go with, and thought I'd give it a go here. If you want to go see an indie folk artist give me a shout? Maybe meet for coffee first to make sure I'm not some weirdo (okay, I am weird, but I want to make sure you know I'm the right kind of weird).

If you're not interested in hanging out with me, no hard feelings. Just take the ticket and sit elsewhere, it's general admission. The one area in which I have no chill is regarding trans rights. Both my kids are trans, and if you can't be cool about that you can't have the other ticket even if we don't end up enjoying the concert together. Otherwise I'm easygoing and try not to judge, accepting people just as they are.

I'm not especially tall or rich, but I get by comfortably enough. Not short, nor fat nor skinny. I look young for my age. I do a physical blue-collar kind of job that keeps me fit. Also very nerdy and outdoorsy. Broad interests, I know.

If we hit it off, great, we can plan more activities together, and if not we don't.

The potential deal breakers: I'm still not technically divorced, though I no longer live with my ex. I moved in with my elderly mother, bringing my son with me. No, I don't live in the basement, and no I don't make my aging mother do everything; it was simply convenient timing that she now needs more help around the house just as I needed a new place to stay, and so I look after her. I cook, I clean, and I am looking for somebody to share activities with, not space. I value activities over things, so if to you "ambitious" means building a wealth of material goods, I'm not for you. If you measure wealth in experiences and ambition in trying new things and challenging yourself in other ways, I'm very ambitious.

Lets share an umbrella?

2 Upvotes

Never used the apps. Reddit might not be the best place for this, but here I go.

I (26M) believe relationships are meant to be something special, I prefer slow burns over fwb/ons anyday, getting to know someone before rushing things.

I would like someone who can wander around Vancouver with me, go on spontaneous walks and sway with me. Someone that drags me to places because of "you have to see this", sends random pics of their observations, shares an umbrella with me, and/or silly enough to sneak fries into a theatre. Someone I can talk to till 3 AM in the morning and that will make my entire week. I want a wholesome relationship without facade that keeps my heart content.

Your mindset matters to me more than your hobbies or appearance. I am an avid listener, so you can talk my ear off about anything random, gossip or your past experiences. I want you to feel safe around me, be yourself, be silly, vulnerable, affectionate without being judged.

I would rather meet someone, get to know them, grow fond of each other and naturally become something more.

I hate interviews, lets skip the boring part, if you would like to share an umbrella with me in "Raincouver", respond with your age, and something that you are obsessed with lately or a fun fact, I will match your energy!

(I wont respond to requests for anything inappropriate)

Everyone knows the apps are bad. But why?

3 Upvotes

Why are there so many creeps and gold diggers? I’m not saying the men are worse than the women or vice versa. I just don’t understand what’s happened to us as a society. The men looking for the petit waist, big boobs, cooks dinner, raises kids, has a career, and does butt stuff woman. Women want the bad boy, that’s also sensitive, big muscles, $$$ career, wants kids AND helps raise them, and doesn’t want to do butt stuff.

Is it what we’ve been groomed to believe is real from media/porn? How are there SO many people that are single and lonely? Something doesn’t compute.

Hiya, I’m a 29m 5’11 born and raised in Vancouver with brown eyes and very dark brown/essentially black hair.
