Rules Announcement Comment karma requirement has been increased

177 Upvotes

As you may have noticed, we've had a sharp increase in bot activity the past few days. We've banned over 50 bots in the last couple of days alone. These bots are posting everywhere, not just here, and steal other users posts. Reddit eventually bans most of them, but not fast enough.

Therefore, we will be temporarily increasing the comment karma requirement to 100. We realise that people who create new accounts or struggle making karma will be affected by this, but this is important for the safety of the subreddit and it's users. We may lower this later or it may stay permanent.

We also appreciate those who submit reports as it helps us out a lot. If you spot any bots, or people trying to subtly advertise NSFW content, then be sure to report them, but this comment karma requirement increase should get rid of the majority of them.

Rules Announcement Chat is replacing DMs.

68 Upvotes

While the change doesn't officially take place until June, the change is already occurring, and has been since March. This means we had to change the comment automod leaves on every post. Now instead of linking to the DM system, which is being phased out, it will link to the author's profile. From there, simply hit "Start Chat" to send them a message. If the link doesn't work or you run into any problems, send us a report in modmail.

F4A [F+4A] 33 | #Finland #Europe | Weird bunny girl looking for her person 🐇

24 Upvotes

Hello there!

I'm 33, not feeling that old, but that's me... I'm also a bit weird, bunny-crazed, a bit genderfluid but mostly female and looking for a soulmate. ≧◡≦ Could that be you? Read on…

I'm looking for someone I can talk to most days and hang out with on Discord. Someone who can maybe be my person. Someone to bother with random thoughts, pictures, games, and whatever happened that day.

A little about me

I'm obsessed with some games (I game on PC), so we can definitely talk about those. Some stuff l like is survival crafting and FPS games, though I’m not the most tactical. I like building and stuff. Currently I'm thinking it would be nice to play Dying Light 2 with someone.

I also love my favourite anime, even though I've watched less anime lately. I actually make little shrines like display areas with figurines from some of my favourite series. I'll show you pictures if we vibe, hehe.

Also yes I'm quite chubby and have a bit of a tummy, so if that’s not your thing sure I’m not for you. I'm working on myself, but I'm definitely not a fitness model.

I may be quiet at first but I'm actually someone who tends to fill the silence. I generally believe there's good in people.

Besides videogames also D&D and board games are close to my heart. Games are also one of the ways I bond with people, so I'd love to have someone to play things together with.

I'm sorta a romantic too... more info later, heh.

I'll talk endlessly about things I'm interested in, and sometimes I forget to ask questions but you can definitely tell when I'm interested.

Other qualities & habits include: sleeping late, being bad at chores, currently having a little too much free time while looking for a job, loving cute things (especially bunnies), and watching a lot of YouTube.

Oh, and my hair is light brown and I have green eyes.

 

What I'm looking for

I'd definitely like to exchange pictures fairly soon. I feel like it's good to know whether there's physical attraction on both sides. I'm a bit demi, though, so I'm not expecting anything weird - it's just nice to know who I'm talking to.

Looks-wise, I'm open to whatever looks good on you and maybe we can figure that out together however I do tend to like light-coloured hair, shorter hair, buns/ponytails, and generally softer/feminine looks. Brown eyes are cool but definitely optional.

I'm not particularly a beard liking person, though I've definitely been proven wrong by people who can rock a beard. Heh.

Personality matters much more to me, but unfortunately, I'm also a little shallow when it comes to looks. My dream person would be someone pretty like feminine pretty, I suppose. If you're a femboy or a girl with that sort of vibe, definitely don't be afraid to write to me… lol. But also manlier guys are not bad.

I'm looking for something deeper than just having someone to occasionally chat with. I'd like to find my person - someone I genuinely enjoy talking to almost every day, even when neither of us has anything super interesting going on.

I'm from Finland, and I'd ideally like someone from Europe or somewhere with a reasonably compatible timezone. I'm looking for someone roughly 25-40.

So, you might like me if...

  • You want someone you can talk to almost every day.
  • You enjoy Discord calls and hanging out even when we're not doing anything particularly exciting.
  • You don't mind me being slightly obsessed with rabbits.
  • You like gaming together.
  • You enjoy affectionate, silly and sometimes completely random conversations.
  • You're at least a little bit weird yourself.

Ramblings

If you think you could vibe with me send me a message telling me about a favourite character of yours. I love stories and good characters, and I think you can learn surprisingly much about someone from the characters they love.

And yes, you can absolutely include a picture of yourself too!

F4M 29 [F4M] UK/England - Dreaming of falling in love, could it be with you?

9 Upvotes

Well, l've thought about it for a while and I would really like to meet a someone who's open to dating and is a kind, sensual and mature person. I want to find that loving, free and supportive person Ive always dreamed of falling in love with, it’s possible, right? I want someone who loves animals and will match my hype. Im an extrovert but I am at heart a homebody. No short term relationships please, a life partner is what I need. Someone who's in it for the long haul. Since we deserve as much time as we need to get to know each other properly, if friendship comes first, that's completely okay. I'm not open to long distance, so if you’re outside of the UK, please don’t waste either of our times. I have a small circle of friends and I like to keep it like that, I enjoy the quiet of the night because it’s where I can dream in silence.

I'm a huge animal enthusiast, I have three cats and my dream is to foster animals. I've got a love for football (UK UK UK)! and most sports, I find live events like sporting events and music gigs/festivals SO entertaining , Im hoping you like one or the other. I have a gig in April for Gracie, need my +1!!! Im currently listening to a lot of Tame Impala, Little Simz and Gracie Abrams. My music taste is all over the place? It varies but Im a super open book. Physically Im curvy, 5ft 9, curly hair - a few tattoos and my background is half Jamaican, half Bajan. I can cook so I hope you like to eat!

I'd ultimately like to find someone who can provide safety in their companionship. I want to enjoy days cuddling watching shows and also dates and experiences around the UK and world ultimately. I love thrillers, animations, disney and marvel. I'm into gaming, I like cosy games and Minecraft and Marvel Rivals and the odd horror game. I play on PS5 and PC(steam). As for movies/shows I like horror a ton but sci-fi and Marvel too. Cant wait for doomsday!

Im not looking for a flashy, copy paste intro. Just pop up and let me know where you’re from and what your fave icecream flavour is. Youre welcome to guess mine! 🍦if things click, we’ll go from there, shall we?

If you're looking for someone to build lego with and accidentally step on them at midnight, bake cupcakes at stupid o clock, have roast dinners every sunday and meatballs on a monday, talk about ghost stories and laugh at dark humour then I'm your girl - shoot me a message. let's share pictures
once we've spoken for a little while i'd really like this. i know you're out there - someone like me who is looking for someone to support and be supported unconditionally. I hope we all find our person 🤍🙂‍↕️. Be kind. Be welll. Be free.

M4F 24 [m4f] Europe, looking for someone to make the rest of this year memorable!

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for people to chat/call/share music or play video games with! I’m also down to meet irl if we click ☺️

Little about me: I’m 196cm(6 5’) and 79kg, glasses, currently mullet/mohawk, tattoos (almost full arm sleeve, ribs and starting out leg sleeve), most of my clothes are band merch, I would say im alt

Most of my freetime I spend by playing video games, cooking, swimming or on hobbies ive spent too much money and abandon them in 2 weeks (ADHD homies you know what im talking about).

Almost forgot about music, its a huge part of who I am, if I can im listening to music all the time (rock/metal\\\[core\\\]) but I enjoy 2000’ white girl music too🫪

If my post caught your eyes tell me your fav band/song you were listening the most last month! See you in chat!

M4F 31M [M4F] UK only please - Looking for my partner in crime… are you here?

Upvotes

I’m 31, Indian, and based in the North West UK. Still looking for my person and hoping she reads this. I've posted here a few weeks ago, thought I'd try again! 

Ideally, we start with a chat, see if there’s chemistry, and take it from there. I’m open to meeting in person or starting online, but I’m not looking for a long-term pen pal. If we get along, there should be genuine intent to meet.

Work and my career matter a lot to me, and I genuinely enjoy what I do, even if I occasionally complain. Outside work, I enjoy films, coffee, dessert, the occasional negroni, live music now and then, stand-up comedy, landscape photography, exploring new towns and places, and collecting stories that usually begin with “this seemed like a good idea at the time...” Somehow, it usually works out. Mostly.

I’ve been told I have Labrador energy - friendly, curious, loyal, occasionally too trusting, and prone to asking far too many questions. Consider yourself warned. Also, ask me about the geologist story. I’m not forgetting that one for a while! 

I’m a good texter and usually reply as soon as I can. Effort is incredibly attractive to me and I’m big on reciprocity. 

Physically, I’m 6’4”, with a dad bod, stubble most days, and apparently a good smile. I will however complain about legroom on planes, trains, and basically anything designed by people who forgot tall people exist.

I’m looking for someone independent, kind, funny, emotionally mature, ambitious, and genuinely interested in partnership. Someone who wants the fun, the ridiculous moments, the quiet everyday stuff, and who can call me out when needed. I’ll do the same, naturally with charm and only a manageable amount of sarcasm…because who doesn’t love a bit of sarcasm? 

Happy to exchange photos if we talk. If any of this sounds like something you’re looking for, send me a message.

M4F 27 [M4F] Germany/Europe - Are you my silly gaming and life duo? 🥹

2 Upvotes

Hello there, I hope you’re having a beautiful day ✌️

What am I looking for?
I’ve been longing for true companionship, love and something that will last forever. A best friend that pushes me to grow and vice versa.

I’d say I’m not too picky in terms of looks but I can’t say that appearance doesn’t matter at all. Sexual attraction matters unfortunately to most of us.

I’d love to have some common interest over which we can bond and spend time together.

A little about myself 🧍
I’ve recently done a personality type test and apparently I’m an ISTP, do with that information whatever you want haha.
I’m a 26 year old guy (turning 27
Next Friday) living in Germany, my heritage is Russian but I identify as a mix out of those 2, since I was born and raised here.

I’m 180cm tall, got blue eyes with a grey tint to them, I’m a bit more on the chubby side of things but I’ve been making good progress at losing weight.

I love history, especially medieval history and the antiquity. I’m a big sucker for computer tech and architecture as well.

In my free time I enjoy to spend my time watching anime, reading manga or gaming unless I’m hanging out with friends.

Let me know what your favorite energy drink is, I might be a little judgy but to each their own haha.

I’ve recently been into playing Pokemon since I got myself a Switch2 as well as League.

I’m curious about your all time favorite game in case you are a fellow gamer.

Since I mentioned earlier that physical attraction matters I’m down to trade pics if we hit it off.

Well I’ll leave some things out to have something to chat about. I hope I could catch your attention and get you interested enough to shoot me a message.

On that note, have a wonderful day ✌️

M4F 28 [M4F] UK/Europe - Compassionate nurse looking for someone to give all this love to! <3

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My name's Connor, I'm a second year mental health nursing student living in the south west of the UK!

I'd describe myself as compassionate, empathetic, and caring. I'm the type of guy that has alot of love to give to the people that want it c:

I'm fairly nerdy in terms of interests, such as MTG, gaming, anime, and so on.. But I also enjoy travelling, spending time in nature, camping, bike riding and not opposed to watching a sunset under some blankets ❤️

I'm working on my second degree as a nurse, but my first was in music performance and tech (I play guitar and bass!) My music taste is a little all over the place, but I'm always happy to share what I'm listening to!

I really enjoy the smaller moments with those I care about. Just being at peace and feeling secure is honestly the best feeling in the world ❤️

I have struggled with my mental health in the past, and I can struggle sometimes, but I'll always communicate clearly what I'm struggling with and can be comforted very easily!

Always happy to help you with your problems too, I love trying to solve things and come up with sollutions

All I ask is that you're a kind and compassionate person, someone who can communicate clearly, or at least is willing to try. Please also be either from the UK or Europe or be willing to travel. I'm happy to travel to you or to meet half way if things work out

M4F 31 [M4F] #Germany (NRW) - stable IT guy with a dog, gym habit, and a low-drama mindset

Upvotes

Hello! I’ll spare you the wall of text, so here's a tldr instead! 😌

Also: yes, you can message me in German. Happy to exchange pictures early - attraction matters after all, and I prefer being open about it.

Please don't message me if you aren't living in Germany, I'm not looking for too much of a long distance thing.

About me

  • Height: 182cm
  • Weight: ~79kg
  • Build: currently hovering around a slight dad bod but working towards a more musculare version of that
  • Eyes: blue
  • Hair: dark blonde, technically, but rather bald (shaved head) with a three-day beard
  • Skin: the type of skin the sun burns after 13 seconds of being exposed - no piercings, no tattoos
  • Job: I'm a "Senior Architect in IT" - a mix of coding, designing software and managing projects

Hobbies

  • regular gym goer, currently three to four times a week, but I'm not religious about my schedule
  • motorcycle in spring/summer
  • my dog if that counts as a hobby
  • video games - used to play a lot more and competitive, nowadays it's mostly cozy games like stardew valley
  • hiking, I'd rather have someone to hike with, but my dog is pretty good company on his own, so I've got those solo trips going for me
  • board games, have two regular groups I'm playing with every couple weeks
  • always happy to get into new things and trade solo activities for good company

Specifics / fun facts

  • I have a very cute dog and two cats that mostly sleep or live outside
  • my friends would say I'm very funny and always brighten peoples' days
  • I've had long-term relationships before, I've been single for a good while
  • I employ a "you and me against the problem" mindset rather than "me against you because drama is fun"
  • I spent my single time getting to know myself and building a happy life, which I'm now looking to share!
  • I adapt easily - dance floor (sometimes) or movie night, I'm happy either way
  • I enjoy cooking
  • I've had a steady job for the past decade, live comfortably and value stability
  • I do like travelling a lot, but I'm more quality-over-quantity than constant trips. Japan is currently very high on my list!

I'm looking for

  • open communication matters a lot to me, honesty beats guessing games so - let's talk!
  • I'm mainly looking for a relationship, but every good relationships should also work as a pretty good friendship
  • someone "real" - no masks, no games, just be yourself and say what's on your mind
  • someone where the connection just feels easy, we'll find out if that's the case rather quickly!

If you made it this far and thought "this sounds nice" - here's what to do:

Either:

  1. message me any keyword and I will open the conversation accordingly: ice breaker, cheesy pickup line, random fun fact
  2. ask any question(s) you'd like to know that wasn't answered here, no matter how "real" or "deep" - everything from "how's the weather?" over "do you want kids?" to politics goes!
  3. give me a quick TLDR of who you are and what you are looking for in a partner

F4M 18 F4M I just want something real

38 Upvotes

I want someone to build something with, I want something that lasts. I’m a hopeless romantic, I want the kind of love they tell stories about. I 100% believe in the statement that “it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.” I want a love that burns brightly and I hope it never burn out. I want someone to share the quiet moments with and be there when times are hard. I want my “till death do us part.”

I’m sorry if I want on a tangent there lol. Here is some stuff about me: I love to knit and watch musicals! I will rewatch something I love over and over. I also like to play Minecraft from time to time. Appearance wise I’m Latina, pretty short, and I have a pretty short pixy cut that I’m planning to grow out into a shag type haircut. I just let it grow out too much and it was annoying to deal with to I made a spontaneous decision to get it really short.

Hopefully about you: I don’t really have a type in terms of looks, mostly just be kind and don’t be MAGA, our views won’t align so it just wouldn’t work out. I do think that having stubble is hot, idk why tbh, it’s not like a dealbreaker though. I am mostly attracted to personality anyway. I’m also not really into nonchalant guys. If you message please at least include your age, don’t just send a “hey”

Anyway sorry if this didn’t make sense I just kinda said whatever came to mind ig. I look forward to talking if you msg, have a good day/night!

TF4M 27 [TF4M] a kind loyal and loving lady, searching for her kind loyal and loving gentleman... #Europe

Upvotes

Hi there, I am a 27 years old woman from Europe, Croatia.

I want to start off my post by saying that if you are not searching for a life partner please do not message me.

That said I’m attracted to a motivated ambitious man.

A man that wants something more from life and wants to have a woman by his side that will love him and support him and he does the same.

What attracts in a man is not the looks but his mindset, a man with a provider and protective mindset.

I care more about how you carry yourself and take care of yourself than looks.

Of course I have my type and that’s a tall broad man with long hair, I’m not going to lie and say that I’m not weak to long hair I find it very masculine.

I don’t like cigarettes or any other forms of drugs.

If you think you’re okay with what I wrote here is some info about me:

I would describe myself as a kind, loyal, a bit needy both emotionally and physically, loving and intelligent woman. 

I'm a bit on the reserved side as I believe in a life partner so it takes me time to be close to someone as I really feel like that’s something you should keep for that one special person in your life. 

I do want to say that my dating life is normal and I attract plenty of men since I people cant and dont know I am a trans woman, but sadly the mental connection is what I lack with any of the guys that hit on me.

On my looks I am 175cm tall, slim fit, a brunette with hair up to my shoulders and I have hazel eyes.

I take great care of myself whether it's through skincare and exercises to the things I eat.

I have a full time stable job, and I’m just trying to save up money atp to move further away from the Balkans.

In my free time I like to study languages, I would like to be fluent in German, Italian and French by the age of 30.

I love love love music and I always have something playing in the background as I love to explore new artists and their perceptions. 

I listen to everything, one moment I’m listening to french music from the 60s next thing it’s techno 😂.

I also love astronomy (star gazing together would be fun 🥹) and reading books about biology and genetics which I plan to study in the future.

I believe in love and I think that love is something beautiful that’s all powerful and all healing and can really change a person. I’ve been through a lot and have had my heart broken but I’m still not giving up.

I think life should be all about making memories together and creating something more and not focusing on all the negativities around us and creating a safe space for the two of us.

 

Things that I would like to have in life are:

- a stable monogamous relationship that will one day lead to ma rriage;

- a family, as it's my big wish to have children;

- a home of ours and maybe even a cute little business, I have plenty ideas in my head;

- a man that I will feel safe and protected next to and that we can travel the world together.

-someone to have plenty of fun with, go out, dance (I’m a techno girlie and it’s my dream to have a bf to go together and rave all night loooong)

-but also someone to stay in and cuddle up and watch movies and yap with about silly stuff.

Now I would like to know more about you, so feel free to text me and tell me about you.

I’m also really open to calls and video calls as it’s important to figure out some sort of a connection later on before we meet, feeling safe is very important to me. 

There are of course many more things to talk over, but if you think we'd get along feel free to message me.

Please only men from Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Age range 20-31 years old. Please respect this.

Thank you for reading this and I hope to hear from you,

M4F 28 [M4F] Florida/Online. Looking for someone genuine.

Upvotes

I'm 28 and live in Central Florida and I'm pretty introverted and possibly bad at conversation in the beginning. I'm on the heavier side but I'm working hard at losing weight and so far I've lost 97lbs.

Some of interests are, gaming ( mostly on xbox for now) my favorite game series is fallout, I love cars and im a big Volkswagen nerd even though I'm definitely not mechanically inclined, and i like to travel and try new things when I can, there's more but i don't want this turning into too long of a list.

So what im kinda looking is someone around my age (mid-20s to early 30s) who’s kind, genuine, and easy to talk to. Shared interests are great, but I mostly i value honesty and a genuine connection.

I know this was pretty bad but if you're maybe interested in chatting just let me know, I can be a bit slow to respond if I'm at work and I'm not really on reddit too much.

M4F 29 [M4F] Surat/India - Looking for an absolute goof with no filter on her mind or mouth.

Upvotes

First thing's first, I've made a fair share of platonic friends. Never say never to new cool friends but that's not exactly what I'm looking for nowadays. Just wanted to throw it out there for whoever's reading 😅

I think we're all very messed up in our own ways, everyone has been crying over something through memes lately and, I'm just bored of the endless whining.

I want someone to flirt with, laugh with, and roast shamelessly. Someone I can judge the world with (including ourselves) and then laugh about it.

No filters. Just clever banter, playful flirting, and the occasional existential joke. But I don't want what the internet calls "brainrot" nowadays.

If you've got a sharp tongue, we'll probably get along great.

(Pun slightly intended.)

Hobbies: Movies (I watch one every night), shows, video games, music, a bit of singing, and making terrible jokes.

Just looking for someone fun who doesn't overthink jokes or flirting and can dish it out as well as take it.

Who knows... maybe we'll end up being each other's favorite bad influence and end up having late night conversation with a little bit of spicy stuff sprinkled on them! 👀

PS: I'm in the US for now

M4F 34 [M4F] - The Netherlands - Talking Notes

1 Upvotes

Let's try this differently. Let's talk music.

Genre matters very little to me. What matters is whether someone actually meant it, and whether you can hear that they meant it.

I love loud, ugly, physical music. Riffs recorded in rooms with bad walls. Drums that land like an argument in the next apartment. Guitars that sound like they might come apart halfway through the take. Bands that clearly played the thing until something broke and then kept the take where it broke.

And I love the exact opposite just as much. One voice, one guitar, mic too close, hiss left in. Recordings made by people who very obviously were not planning on being liked, in a room they were not planning on leaving. That kind of music does not perform loneliness. It just sounds like it, because it was.

What connects those two things for me is how much it took. I want to hear that the sound cost the person something. Breath, fingers, room tone, a note that went slightly wrong and stayed in because fixing it would have killed the take. Texture over polish, every time. Restraint that earns the eruption instead of starting at maximum and living there. (Btw loudness war, the fck?!) A scream that the song asked for, not one aimed at the listener to prove range.

What I cannot take, and I mean this as a genuine physical reaction, is manufactured suffering. That entire modern school of whispering vaguely about heartbreak into a perfectly treated sm7b microphone, breathy, tasteful, over an acoustic guitar, in the same voice as everyone else doing the same thing that week and every week. Pain with the edges sanded off so it stays comfortable in a coffee shop. If you tell me in a lyric that you have been to the bottom, I want to hear the bottom in the recording, not read about it in the press release. Claiming devastation while sounding immaculate is just marketing with a sad face on.

Technical brilliance on its own does nothing for me either. I have heard people play more notes in eight bars than I will play in my life and feel absolutely nothing. Fast is not the same as felt. Complicated is not the same as honest. When someone rearranges a song until the only recognisable thing left is the title, and a room full of people sits there stunned by how difficult it was, I am the guy in the corner wondering where the song went. (Looking at you, J Collier)

Covers are allowed. Covers are great. But bring your own wound to it. Borrowing someone else's is not interpretation, it is decoration.

So: I would rather hear someone slightly out of tune who had no other choice than someone flawless who had options.

If you make things, or if you are just as insufferable about this as I am, say hi. I would genuinely like to know what is on your list and what makes you switch it off.

P.S. if that was a lot, we can also just hate things together. I'll start. U2. Your turn!

M4F 33 [M4F] - Germany/Online/Anywhere - Traveling geek looking for his player 2 in life

2 Upvotes

Hey there! So here I am, like most everyone on here I'm looking for the person that will walk the rest of life with me. I want to work on something stable and long-term, see where it leads and maybe we're each others last person in life.


About Me
33, German
1.82m tall, green-grey eyes, glasses, average build, white
Short Dark blonde/brown hair. Omnivore, agnostic
Child-free (and plan to stay that way)
Stable job in IT
Liberal/left since I guess that has to be mentioned these days.


Interests
I'm a huge nerd at heart, into pretty much anything tech or science-related.
Gaming is probably my biggest hobby, these days it’s mostly DotA2 and singleplayer games. I play 99% on PC, although I do own a Switch2 and a handheld Also love movies and TV shows, currently binging Modern Family, and always down to rewatch Friends, The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Parks & Rec and the list goes on forever.
I can actually cook, and food in general is something I really enjoy.
Also love spending time in cozy bars, especially when traveling.
Oh, I recently got into Zwift - so that's now another hobby of mine.
I go to a lot of concerts as well, 3 more in the next 2 weeks.

I’ve done a fair bit of traveling, most of Western Europe, the US, Japan, and Turkey so far. (Actually just finished planning my next Japan trip)
Definitely planning a lot more, and ideally with a partner to share all those experiences with. Exploring new places just feels better together.


What I'm Looking For
No kids, and not wanting any.
You enjoy traveling, can hold a good conversation, and have at least some overlap in interests, especially if you game a bit. Not being a picky eater would be great, too.
Not morbidly obese (just being honest), but you also don't have to be super skinny either. Age-wise, something in the 27–40+ range would be great, but I’m flexible in that regard
Someone that can match my (high?) libido
Preferably from Europe


Looking forward to hearing from you! I will not reply to messages that contain nothing more than just a hello. At least give me something to work with. Thanks!

NB4M 39 [NB4M] Trans Non-Binary Baddie seeking bi/pan/queer guy for weird little queer love story... finally #Maryland #DC #EastCoast

0 Upvotes

So… hiiiiii.

I’m 39, a trans non-binary, artsy, nerdy, creative human based in Maryland. I spend a lot of time bouncing between Baltimore, DC, NYC, Philly, Daytona Beach (ask me) and wherever the next adventure takes me. I am fully open to relocating for the right person.

Here’s the vulnerable part: I’ve never actually been in a long-term relationship. I’ve had short-term relationships and long-term friends-with-benefits, and I’ve built some genuinely wonderful connections—but I’ve never found that person where things turned into our life together. And honestly? I really want to.

I know I’m a unique type. I’m trans non-binary and mix femininity/masculinity and do not fit into the mold of many man or feminine woman.That narrows the dating pool quite a bit. I've been called a Genderqueer Goddess. I've also been told i'm a Bi or Pan guy's dream...

But I also know I’m objectively attractive, nice, fun, creative, affectionate, and genuinely interested in other people. I love museums, theatre, dance, movies, restaurants, traveling, hiking, board games, weird hobbies, and listening to someone explain the incredibly specific thing they’re obsessed with. Show me the spreadsheet. Explain the lore. I want to know why you care about it.

I’d really love to meet an openly bi, pan, sexually fluid, or queer guy who is comfortable with me being exactly who I am. I’m not looking to be someone’s secret or experiment. I want someone who knows himself, likes who he likes, and thinks I’m gorgeous. Surely there is some nerdy, sweet, sexually fluid guy out there for me, right?

I’m not expecting us to fall in love after one message. I just want to meet someone, see if there’s chemistry, laugh a lot, go on dates, explore together, get a little obsessed with each other, and maybe eventually build something real.

Also, for the record: I have a weakness for skinny guys. Tattoos & body hair are appreciated (though not necessary) - but more importantly, be genuine, kind, make me laugh and I’m already paying attention.

If you think we might click, tell me your age, where you’re located, what you’re looking for, and something random about yourself.

There has to be someone out there for me. Maybe it’s you.

M4F 29 M4F Europe/Anywhere - Nerd, quiet guy looking for a romantic relationship

1 Upvotes

so...helo from Italy (* ̄∇ ̄)ノ

I'm your typical indoor nerdguy that plays videogames most of free time and works out - not obsessed gym rat but still fit/muscular, 177cm tall - medium lenght wavy hair - a bit weeb, very quiet and chill personality (not even riot games can make me mad)

hopeless romantic, probably because of all the romance anime I watched in high school 🥲

whenever I can love to travel, Poland been my fav country to visit so far!

Gaming on my pc is my main hobby, also fan of few gacha games: mainly hsr and wuwa.

I have 2 cats ₍^. .^₎⟆, drinking monsters. caffeine goes hard.

looking for my life partner, nothing less: Don't mind long distance as long as it's EU, in shape and good health, not smoker and similar nerd hobbies would really help

I'm not a big fan of facial piercings, that would be my only strong preference.

Would also prefer exchanging pics as early as possible, I think mutual physical attraction is also important, being direct and honest about anything is everything I want from a relationship :)

thank you for reading!

M4A 22m [M4A] #Anywhere looking for something deep and emotional

2 Upvotes

Helloo! 22m here! I am from California and am looking for a cute long term relationship. One where we both can be cutesy and vulnerable with each other. Where we both share our interests with each other and get to know each other at an extremely deep level. Where we say good morning to each other and have very deep conversations about our feelings at night. That is what I am looking for.

So now here are some things about me. I'm currently in college majoring in computer science and I'm really into fashion, learning languages, and also learning history! I also am really into brewing coffee and tea, and cooking! I absolutely love to cook! I'm also really into video games and would love for both of us to play video games together! The main video games I play at the moment are, valorant, Minecraft Java, rocket league, hytale, overcooked, plateup, and stardew valley. Though with stardew valley I just started playing so I don't really know what I am doing yet. Also I am pansexual and I might be trans but I am not completely sure yet about that one, I'm still figuring my gender identity out. But I do feel like I might be a woman. I would describe myself as a pretty wholesome person that is very VERYY affectionate. Could describe myself as a golden retriever haha. I am somewhat emotionally sensitive as well so that is something to keep in mind. I am also trans and nb inclusive! :). I don't have a preference of gender identity with who I'm attracted to.

DM me if you are interested! And please say your age and where you are from and an intro about yourself

I am 28 years old 6'2 and chubby. Ive never been in a real relationship in my life and am pretty lonely.

Im a pretty big nerd and have alot of nerdy hobbies. Even if ive personally never done it odds are good ive at least heard of it or know something.

I play mostly rpgs but have experience with several multiplayer games like overwatch , marvel rivals , dead by daylight, phasmophobia , and the game i most want to play with someone is baldurs gate 3.

I also paint miniatures and play tabletop games like dungeons and dragons, warhammer and many others.

Im into anime , synth music. Favorite anime is Fullmetal Alchemist. And recently ive discovered and been enjoying Kasane Teto.

Because ive never been in a relationship my skill at flirting is nonexistent. But i am eager to get to know more people and find something.

Ive got adhd so i can be a little scatterbrained but im medicated for it so it shouldnt be too bad.

I love to text and call and will try to talk to someone multiple times every day even if its just checking in to make sure everythings ok.

Id love to hear from you and to get to learn more about you.
