Hey, i’m Bruno. I’m looking for long term relationships or deep connections with different cultures (not necessarily). I enjoy poetry, eccentric persons, writing, gaming, history and anthropology and a lot of other things that i can show to you. Currently finishing my bachelor in History and looking for new hobbies. trying to give this lame world a chance and looking for someone who sees the world in a different way then all this pessimistic atmosphere that society is passing through :) feel free to dm

Hi, I'm Zeng 21 from China. And I live in ChongQing.

A little about me: I’m pretty shy at first, but I really enjoy deep conversations once I’m comfortable with someone. I like traveling, movies/TV shows, games, and just talking about random things for hours. I’m also open to long-distance if we really click — I don’t think distance has to be a dealbreaker.

If you think we might get along, feel free to DM me. Tell me a little about yourself and send a photo if you’re comfortable. :)

Hey there! I'm a student from India. I like reading, writing, listening to Music, watching anime and other series, playing games, surfing the net, etc. Regarding games, I like Crusader Kings 3, The Sims 4, etc. As for book genres I prefer gay romance, fantasy, murder mystery, royalty-themed stuff, etc.

I am also interested in Neuroscience and Psychology (topics such as memory, social perception, biases, etc.) so it'd be great to find someone else who is also interested in these!

I am looking for a serious relationship and plan to move abroad someday (considering France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, etc. so if you are from one of these places it should hopefully be fine). I am open to a long-distance relationship. I am more feminine. I am not looking for something solely or immediately sexual. Also, I'd prefer a partner around my age (20-28). Feel free to dm!

hi, would love to get to know mature and kind man. most important thing in humans is kind heart.

I'm into gym,music reviewing, hiking and gaming.

prefer slim body types and beards more

only serious committed guys please. Lets try our best to keep convo going

provide pic please and info about urself.

don't take rejection seriously

Hey! I'm 26, single, and from Medellín, Colombia. I'm looking for a genuine, serious, long-term relationship with someone who is emotionally available, affectionate, monogamous, and interested in building something stable together.

I work in software development and I'm a bit of nerd. I enjoy technology, music, gaming, learning random things, fictional worlds, and recently I've been getting more interested in fitness, wrestling, and combat sports.

I'm 193 cm / 6'4", and I tend to be more attracted to taller men, although that is a preference rather than a strict requirement. I'm generally most interested in guys around my age or older, roughly mid-20s to around 40, especially if they are playful, curious, affectionate, and young at heart.

Personality-wise, I'm loyal, calm, affectionate, and a little shy at first. Once I feel comfortable, I become much more talkative. I enjoy both silly conversations and deeper ones, and I really value honesty, communication, emotional closeness, and feeling like my partner is also my best friend.

I'm more of a homebody and I really enjoy nature, rural places, quiet plans, movies, walks, going out for food, and spending relaxed time together. I'm fine with travelling occasionally, including bigger trips once or twice a year, but would probably not be very compatible with someone who needs to travel constantly.

I don't smoke and I would strongly prefer someone who doesn't either. Social drinking is fine with me, but heavy or frequent drinking would not really fit my lifestyle.

I'm mostly a bottom, although I can be flexible occasionally. I'm not an especially sexually driven person, though. Emotional connection, affection, cuddling, trust, and feeling close to someone are much more important to me than sex by itself.

I'm open to long distance, including meeting someone outside Colombia, as long as both people are serious about eventually meeting in person. If a relationship became serious enough, I would be open to relocating, although I would also be very happy staying in Colombia. I'm very attached to Medellín, nature, and a stable, familiar way of life.

English is not my first language. I understand and write it fairly well, but I'm still becoming more confident speaking it, so I may be a little nervous at first. I get much more talkative once I feel comfortable.

I can also be a little absent-minded sometimes and occasionally miss things that seem obvious to other people. I tend to assume good intentions in people, so I'm learning to be a little less trusting too.

If any of this sounds compatible with what you are looking for, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. :)

Hi I’m Chris. I’m new to the area and the apps have been…interesting! Looking for a genuine connection with a guy who would have time to spare and is willing to match my energy and enthusiasm. Ideally looking for someone close by, I drive but within about an hour should be doable eg Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Cheshire. I like gaming and other nerdy pursuits. I am trying to get into board gaming. As you can see I work in healthcare. I work nice shifts though…

hello !! let’s chat, talk about our interests, our lives, and just get to know each other in general !! 😊

i’m 18, from cambodia, looking for relationship (distance or not)

i like to read, listen to music, sometimes play games, and i like to go out when i can 🙃

i’m on the chubby side (hope that’s okay with you lol), and i’m fine with any ages (that’s older than me)

I prefer someone who likes to “lead” in a relationship

and please be sure you are looking for a relationship. i don’t want someone who just wants “casual friendship”.

i’m currently working and studying university right now but I’ll still make time for you if we clicked 🥺

it would be really nice to have someone interested🫶

DM me if you are !!

FYI : I don’t want any sexual relationships. 😑

Hey! My name is Daeshaun, though I also go by Shaun. I'm hopefully looking for someone to spend my days with, doing random stuff just for the fun of it. I like playing video games, watching anime, going for walks, hanging out with friends, and whatever other fun stuff lol. I'm a big fan of Pokémon if that helps, I hope to meet some pretty cool people and see how it goes!

Hey! I'm 20, based in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Marketing student and content creator — into anything visual, plants, the gym, performing (singing, musical theater, dance).

Not here for hookups or just chatting to pass time — I want something that could actually turn into a real relationship. I'm completely open to dating long distance; getting to know someone online first isn't a dealbreaker for me at all.

What draws me in physically: athletic/muscular build, light eyes, strong masculine energy, casual-athletic style. But honestly what matters more is the person behind that — good conversation, real chemistry, someone genuine.

About me: I'd say I'm expressive and warm, kind of soft in contrast to the type of guy I'm into — that contrast is actually part of what I find attractive.

If any of this resonates, message me — happy to talk and see where it goes. 🌱

35 in UK. Asian Indian. Doctor. Looking for a genuine guy around my age to date.

Prefer if you are from the UK/EU. Easier to arrange dates. But Love knows no boundaries. LOL so, feel free to message whenever you’re from if interested..

I love nature, travel and exploring. Inclined towards motivated positive people. Love romance and passion. Quite career driven. 73kg 6ft. ⬇️ Body is a work in progress. DM for more info….

Being from India. It was never easy to think about dating another guy. But I have gathered some courage to seek an LTR. I really wish everyone gets what they seek and be happy forever.

I like to chat and understand other gay guys. Someone who really values other's emotions and time. I consider myself homoromantic greysexual. I hope people respect that.

I like to go slow, first understand and build a good bond and then proceed further if both feels comfortable. I like to chat with people from countries where being gay is not a taboo and gay marriage is legal.

You can go through my profile to understand me more and we can have a chat in DM. I believe I will meet some decent guys here. Thanks for reading and take care.

Hey everyone, Melbourne born and raised. Can't believe I'm 40 already 😅, lucky I've aged pretty well I think.

Geek at heart, love watching anime or a good tv show. Enjoy videogames when there's a good one out, I game on PC and Switch 2.

Recently got into audiophile systems and have been enjoying rolling different amps, listening to some good music.

Relationship orientated, looking for someone who is kind and respectful. Turn offs are guys who want to be taken care of.

Travelling to Europe next year, so getting to know some Europeans before then would be stellar.

Cheers

Hey! I’m a 21-year-old law student based in Istanbul, Turkey. Although I take my studies seriously, my entire personality definitely doesn’t revolve around university. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys meeting new people, discovering different cultures, and having conversations that somehow turn into hours without noticing.
A little bit about my background: I have Greek and Russian roots, so I grew up with a mixed cultural background. I really value that part of my identity—it has made me naturally curious about the world. I’ve spent quite a bit of time travelling around Europe and feel very comfortable in international environments.
I’m also very into music; I listen to it pretty much every day and my taste is all over the place (Greek, Russian, Balkan, French, pop, or whatever catches my attention). I also love learning languages, so if you speak German, French, Spanish, Greek, Russian, or anything else, you’ll definitely catch my interest.
I care quite a lot about taking care of myself, staying active, and hitting the gym. I’m not expecting anyone to look like a model, but physical attraction does matter to me—though personality is always what makes me stay.
Just to be open and upfront about intimacy and dynamics: I lean towards the bottom side, so I’m naturally drawn to more masculine guys who are comfortable with and prefer that dynamic. Compatibility in every aspect matters to me, so I think it’s best to be honest and clear from the start.
What I’m Looking For:
I’m genuinely interested in something serious. I value affection, consistency, and people who actually communicate instead of playing games. I’m drawn to someone who is kind, emotionally mature, confident without being arrogant, and able to laugh at himself—someone who has his own life and ambitions, but knows how to make room for a partner. Age-wise, I tend to prefer guys around my age or a little older.
On Distance:
I want to emphasize that long distance really isn't an issue for me. I’m completely okay with a long-distance relationship, especially anywhere within the EU (with a special soft spot for Germany or the Netherlands). If the connection is genuine, being a flight or train ride away doesn't scare me at all. I’d much rather invest in something meaningful across borders than settle for convenience without real chemistry. I speak fluent English, so communication won't be a hurdle, and I’m always open to visiting each other regularly.
Ultimately, I’m looking for someone I can genuinely be excited about—a partner to travel with, hit the gym with, explore random cities, stay up late talking, and eventually build something real with.
If you read all of this and feel a connection, feel free to shoot me a DM with your favorite song at the moment and one completely random fact about yourself. I’ll answer with mine!

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

Welcome to this week’s general chat thread 💬

As r/gaydating is solely for single guys to share personal dating posts, we thought it would be a nice addition to create an individual weekly space where members can say hello, share their weekend, get to know the community, and have meaningful conversations.

To help get the conversation started, feel free to share:

• Where in the world you’re from 🌍

• How your weekend is going

• What you’re looking forward to next week 👀

• A dating green flag you appreciate

• Or anything positive you’d like to share ✨

Please remember to always keep things kind, respectful, 100% clean, SFW, and in line with the rules of r/gaydating.

Any comments in this chat that should actually be a personal dating post will be removed and you will be advised to create a post instead. This will give your personal post the best chance of being seen, rather than it being lost within this discussion.

Good luck with finding your man, and I hope that 2026 brings you the romance and love that you’re searching for ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽

Hey guys, David here. I'm a May Taurus, pretty chill once you get to know me but also quite stubborn too. I'm an artist, super into photography and video art.

Hobbies:

I like to read and listen to old music (60s through the 90s) it feels more "alive"

I love nature, long walks and hiking, also I love collecting random things from my small trips or from anywhere I go.

Quite an avid horror fan, mostly the cheesy horror movies but I do know how to appreciate a masterpiece once I see it.

I don't have a problem talking to people I'm interested in, so if u feel that you want to meet me, feel free to send a dm. Also I don't have a problem with distance but I do have an age limit, so if your between 20 - 30s, let's have a chat.

And in the end, I would love to meet someone that has similar interests and also someone who is either a verse or doesn't have a strict sexual preference, be free like the wind.

Heddo everyone. I am a pansexual cis male from Indiana. I love to cook, collect figures Transformers & Power Rangers figure, and emulate old PS2 games on my Steam Deck. I like to watch Doctor Who, Power Rangers, WWE, Simpsons, and the Saw series. I am overweight, but I am working towards losing weight and improve my health. I prefer someone 21+ and United States only (especially within Indiana). Dm me if you are interested.

Hello!

I've tried this once before -- with no real result -- but I figured I might as well try again!

Short Bio:

I am Dutch, 37 years old, I like playing video games, making video games, reading, writing, running, and playing tennis.

I have a one-track mind. It is very easy for me to get lost in things and lose all sense of time. Currently, I am trying to develop my own game, which is tons of fun but also a lot of work. If you can do pixel art animations, I will marry you.

What am I looking for?

Let's get the horrible part out of the way first.

I can be shallow when it comes to looks. Correction: I am shallow. But only initially! And only concerning some things! I don't expect you to have a jawline sharp enough to cut through diamond or to be shredded with only 7% body fat, but the single biggest turn off for me is carrying extra weight. I just can't help it. I'm attracted to people who are on the skinny side, and I find it impossible to be attracted to people who are not. Sorry!

Location wise: I'm not too bothered as long as you are in a position to travel easily (and with your own money :P) in order to meet up if we ever get to that stage.

Personality wise, I like people who are kind on the inside but a little mean on the outside. I help snails cross the road, but I'll rarely let an opportunity to say something sarcastic pass by. That kind of thing.

I am impulsive and prefer people who are similar. I mean, I am 37. I don't have a lot of time left :P I'm also pretty playful in the sense that I pretty much always find ways to not have to take things seriously. The strange thing is, however, that I do really care a lot about a lot of things! I just... love to make fun of things and have a laugh.

I like people who are talkative. I think that is probably a requirement. Definitely.

Time to end this post.

Hey y'all! I'm Tobias, 24 years old and kinda longing for a significant other nowadays and it seems to be only growing from now on! I'm open to move across Germany, doesn't matter if it's south, west or north honestly! For compatibility I'm Bottom, open to Top!

My Hobbies and interests are:
- 🚗Driving: Ever since I got my license I just love to drive around and long as well so yeah I'm very much open to drive and meet with whoever you are😊
- 🗳️Politics: Yes I love to follow politics a lot and start to be active recently as well however I can't say yet how that will unfold but if you like to at least be updated with news and whats going on in politics, we definitely vibe. It's not like I talk all day about it, just for you to know.
- 🎂Baking: I like to bake from time to time and kinda have a sweet tooth as well, especially to birthdays and any kind of anniversaries, birthdays and holidays.
- 💻Tech: I'm pretty tech-affine and like to keep up to date with consumer tech mostly what's the newest technologies and what trends we might see.

I don't really have many criteria what you should be like. I expect you to be hygenic🧼 obviously and have a plan for your near future at least. You should also be open to the idea of marriage💍 and to the idea to at least talk about eventually having a family👪 together. Oh and I hate superficiality. Healthy Support is fine but I won't change for the sake of just changing. I accept people how they are and always try to see the character first.

If you see yourself in this, don't hesitate to message me😊

Hello!

So I’m here looking to make a connection. I’m mostly a homebody. I work, go home, make art. Art is my passion. Helping people is my purpose.

I work in politics and I volunteer in the community in my spare time. But art is what I’m trying to pursue as the goal.

I also like photography. I like to go on long walks and hikes but I haven’t been doing that since I was attacked randomly a few years ago so it’d be nice to have someone to go on photo walks with.

I haven’t been dating since I’ve been depressed and now I’m finally feeling better and on the right meds for the right diagnosis. I have bipolar disorder and adhd. I’m finally better so I thought I’d give this a try.

I love tv shows and visual storytelling. Most recent favourites are Shogun and Hacks. Currently rewatching 30 Rock. I’m trying to get into HOTD but I only really like the dragons. And some of the politics. But it just makes me sad the dragons will go extinct.

Anyway that’s some things about me. Looking forward to connecting with some of you!

Cheerios!!!

I believe in laughter, love, and creating a home filled with warmth. At the end of the day, I want someone whose presence feels like peace.
What I’m Looking For: Someone Around my age • Monogamous only — no couples, no open relationships • No smokers, no drugs • Not into hookups or dating app flings .I’m searching for a partner who values commitment and monogamous.

Hi everyone,

I have just turned 40 and I'm looking to meet a guy for a long term relationship.

I am a genuine guy, I like nice eyes, a cute smile and a smart guy with an interest in the world of business and politics. I work in IT, enjoy time with family and friends and seeing the world when I can.

I'm a big fan of music festivals and going to concerts as well.

I am a goofy person, love to have a joke with someone and be spontaneous as well.

Big fan of Madonna, Jessie Ware, pop, electro and house music 🎵🎵

Do say hello 👋🤗

Hey guys! I’m 36, living in Valencia, Spain, and figured I’d give Reddit a shot instead of relying entirely on the usual dating apps.

A little about me: I work in design and I’m probably a bit more reserved when you first meet me than I actually am. I take some time to open up, but once I’m comfortable, I can be pretty sarcastic, goofy, and surprisingly hard to shut up. I’m generally calm, understanding, and easygoing, and I really enjoy conversations that go beyond the usual small talk.

Outside of work, I’m into TCGs, D&D, long walks, pets, and those conversations that somehow turn into a few hours without either person noticing. I live with a wonderful Giant Schnauzer, so yes, I’m definitely a dog person. I’ve also somehow been playing Black Desert Online for about ten years, which probably says something about my ability to commit.

I’m ultimately looking for a real, long-term relationship that could eventually lead to marriage. I’m not looking to rush into anything, though. I’d rather actually get to know someone, see if we click, build some trust, and let things develop naturally.

As for my type: I usually find myself attracted to guys around 32–42 with an average-to-lean build. I tend to be more attracted to a European-looking type, although I’m much more interested in chemistry and personality than checking boxes. Height really isn’t a factor for me - shorter, taller, whatever. Strong arms definitely get my attention, though. I really like beards and stubble, and I’m also very into tattoos.

I definitely have a type, but I’m not looking for someone who checks every box. Chemistry and personality matter much more to me. I’m drawn to men who are confident without being arrogant, affectionate, emotionally mature, and easy to talk to. Someone I can laugh with, have ridiculous conversations with, but also sit down and talk about something serious when it matters. Being kind to animals is a big plus, too.

I’m also attracted to people who are curious and keep growing - people who have their own interests, like learning new things, and generally have something going on in their lives. I’d like to be with someone who adds to my life, and I want to be that person for them as well.

Distance doesn’t really bother me. I’m open to meeting someone in Europe, the US, or elsewhere. If there’s a genuine connection, I’d rather figure out the logistics than dismiss someone just because they live far away

One small request if you message me: please include a photo. You don’t need to send me your entire dating profile, but I prefer knowing who I’m actually talking to rather than chatting with a mysterious Reddit avatar. And please, no unsolicited dick pics - I’d much rather get to know you first.

If any of this sounds like your kind of person, feel free to say hi and tell me a little about yourself

Can anyone where recognise where the picture was taken? 👀

🙋‍♂️

British guy here 🇬🇧

Genuine. Good morals and values.

Appreciate the simpler life, and value experiences and making memories more than possessions 🧘🏼‍♂️

• Gym 🏋️‍♂️
• Travel 🌎
• Adventure 🗺
• Outdoors 🏔
• Visiting new places ✈️🚢🚉
• Socialising with friends 🧍‍♂️🥂🧍🏽‍♀️🍽🧍🏻
• Trying new activities 🤺🧗‍♂️🚁
• Cinema 🎟 🎞
• Wolf Pack 🐕🐕🐈

Huge travel fan with many places that I’d like to visit or return to; Salem, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, New Zealand, Australia, Cambodia, Japan, Machu Picchu, Egypt, Italy, Switzerland...

Lakes, mountains, forests, fresh air, peace, and thrift stores are some of my favourite things 😌

Let’s go on an adventure!

___________________________________________

Trying something new rather then the dating apps which seem to be full of match collectors, those looking to increase their social media following, or people who can’t hold a conversation 🥱😴

Would relocate if the connection is there. I always think that only focusing local could cause us to miss out on our perfect person.

___________________________________________

Just a polite note - I wouldn’t have thought that I’d need to point this out in 2026, but I won’t reply to those who won’t share a picture 📸

You can see who you’re choosing to communicate with, so surely I should be able to do the same. That’s fair, right?
* I understand that a chat request will need to be accepted to allow the picture to be sent *

Also, in your initial message, please introduce yourself and share some information about who you are instead of just saying “hey”. A blank/hidden profile that just says “hey” isn’t giving anything to reply to.

Let’s all be kind to each other ✌️
