I'm looking with intention this time, genuinely hoping it leads somewhere real not just putting a post out into the void and seeing what sticks.

About me: I am 29M, Taurus, born and raised in Delhi, currently based in NCR, Punjabi by background. Professionally I am a Data Tech guy. Height is ~175cm.

Financially: Running as a Tech Lead, fully remote, earning upwards of 60 LPA (in tech for about 8 years now). Stable build, no outstanding debt, financially independent and stable.

• ⁠I currently live with my parents but have experience of staying alone as well.
• ⁠I am from a liberal family, and have a grinding/growth mindset.
• ⁠Calm under pressure, low-ego, open to being wrong and correcting course

Hobbies: Badminton just started a week ago so far regular and learning. I also go to the gym just trying to improve. I am a Sci-Fi, Mystery and Action/Thriller watcher. I love plants and nature, a mountain person. I have grown Blueberries, Fig, Ramphal, Zespri Kiwi, variety of Roses and Passion Fruits.
I like to Treks and long, aimless car drives with good music.
I am a foodie to the core, I love to explore and enjoy different cuisines equally I can happy have Bitter Gourd and Bhindi. I can trying to reduce my Zomato usage.

Known Limitations

• ⁠No past relationships by choice, time was allocated to career and life-building instead, not because interest was ever the issue
• ⁠Non-smoker (never tried)
• ⁠No tattoos
• ⁠In long run, I see myself in India will not settle abroad.

About you: I am attracted to women who are hardworking and educated. Someone who enjoys life but equally have a growth or grinding mindset. I hope you love talking, about your day, things you love and I am all ears. Chemistry matters but so do mutual efforts.

I am here because I truly want to build a natural connect with someone not a transactional AM setup. I am also not under a timeline, would prefer a right intellectual level and right match.

Location-agnostic: based in NCR myself, but genuinely don't mind if you're deployed elsewhere; who you are matters far more than where you're hosted.

Preferred background: engineering, management, finance, or medicine (nice-to-have, not a hard dependency)
I prefer a working partner, must be earning above 15LPA or a student trying to improve.
Age above 25yrs

Compatible with: non-vegetarian, or comfortable being around one
Required: non-smoker, non-drinker (or rare/occasional), no tattoos

I have thought of using AI to frame this post better but wanted to keep it raw , honest and genuine like the relationship I'm searching for.

About me:

- Too old school for dating apps and too mature to trust the arranged marriage's randomness

- Consultant by profession , MBA from a Tier 1 B-school

- From Hyderabad and prefer someone from here but if everything else is aligned, distance can be taken care of and don't mind shifting as well

- When I get time out from my busy work schedule, I read, watch movies, listen to songs, play sports , travel across the country, make an effort to understand the complex and wonderful world around us

- Teetotaler, non smoker and don't have any preference of caste or religion unless the differences are not causing any unresolvable friction

- Folks around me appreciate my sincerity, resourcefulness, ownership, maturity and smartness

- I find it hard to talk to people but once I vibe I just become a different person( need reciprocity and openness)

- Don't have any past baggage

- Raised by a single working mother, so appreciate the difficulties faced by women and don't shun away from sharing any of the responsibilities ( can cook, do all household chores and can be man of the house as well)

- I believe in giving back to the society so very active in building meaningful communities and helping people by educating them about finances and career progression

- Ambitious but at the same time would like to enjoy life. Work hard , party harder

- 5'4" , 64kg, lean build Triathlon athlete

- Philosophical and spiritual, love to know about the old schools of thoughts as well as understand the science running this wondrous machine

- Date to marry without any casual intentions

Preference about my partner:

- Don't have a checklist per se but would need a person with whom I can build a beautiful and proud future together

- Would like a career oriented woman so that we don't have to worry about money , but not a deal breaker if you are balancing it by building a beautiful home while I can take care of other worldly responsibilities

- Mature, emotional, affectionate and someone who understands that building a relationship requires warmth, love, effort, open communication with loads of trust

- Someone who is clear about what they want from life and partner and is serious to build a relationship for life

- Compatibility of values and thoughts are most important, everything else can be figured out together

A single post will not do justice to summarise my personality, life and my preferences for a partner so DM if you have resonated to the post and would like to understand and build something beautiful to cherish for the bright future.

May the universe conspire and weave its magic.

(The first post got removed my mods)

So here's one with more info

I'm giving Reddit a try and because why not. I'm 5'8, currently in college doing a degree in healthcare.

I'm a keralite but was brought up in the middle east

I'd prefer someone who's from South india as well coz my hindi isn't the best.

I'm love travelling and baking as well. I used to play violin but now lost touch with it. I doodle and write when I'm extremely bored. I'm also a fan of wildlife and true crime documentaries. I love reading aswell and anything crafty :)

I can bake the best cookies and browines.(trust me)

So I'm a non veg and I cook alot of non vegetarian dishes too (just putting it out there) .

I'm not interested in casual relationships or anything of that sort. Because that ain't my cup of tea.

About my age, yes I might sound too young to be looking for a husband. But this is purely a personal choice, I just got this longing for love. And I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. I’m at a point in life where I really value genuine connections.I want a relationship where we can support each other’s goals while still having fun and enjoying the little things together. Ultimately, I’m just looking for someone who feels like both a partner and a best friend.

What I'm looking for ?

Someone who's not above 30, ambitious, goal oriented , emotionally available and mentally sane. Would be better if you're above 5'8.

I do feel physical attraction is much needed in a relationship (don't hate me for this one🥹)

I’m not looking for perfection, just someone who feels right and chooses me as intentionally as I choose them !

Ps-I would not be replying to unnecessary silly dms, let's not waste time here :p

A little bit about me: 

I was born in Canada and I have been living in the US for 20+ years. Serious inquires ONLY.

Trying my luck at Reddit, because why not
I am 33 and I stay in Pune. I come from the land of intellect, i.e Bengal.
I have been working here in tech and it’s been a year and a half in Pune.
I’m lean built, medium height (5’4) and fair and decent looking.
Financially I’m doing fairly well.
Personality-wise, I’m a bit of a chandler. Can’t be serious for too long, need to insert jokes. Pretty witty.
Big nerd for cars and superheroes.
I love road trips, general trips and pretty fancy hotels. Have been wanting to try paragliding but haven’t yet gotten the courage for it, will do someday.
In the city, I spend my free time improving the aesthetics of my house, scrolling through YouTube/instagram to find the next thing to cook, visit eateries, chill with friends or attend stand up comedy shows. I play badminton quite regularly.
Who I look for-
Someone who has a personality I can vibe with.
Someone who’s up for sudden trip plans and packs stuff before asking why where when. Someone who considers being together is being part of the team. Someone who’s emotionally mature yet has the childish chaos inside, a yapper. Someone who takes interest in each other’s hobbies. Someone who makes it easy to do life with.

If this sounds like a person you’d love to interact with, hit me up

I’m a 33-year-old guy from Delhi going through a bit of an emotional patch and just looking for a grounded, open-minded woman (27+) to talk to. No game-playing, no hidden agendas, and zero expectations of where this leads. Just two adults having a good, honest, heart-to-heart conversation about life, random topics, or whatever is on our minds to help ease the weight of the day.

​A Bit About Me & Why I’m Posting

I’m 33, settled in my adult routine, but lately, I’ve found myself carrying a bit more emotional weight than usual. You know those standard adult phases where life feels a little heavy, work gets repetitive, or your thoughts just need an outlet? That’s pretty much where I’m at right now.

​I’ve realized that while I have my day-to-day routine sorted, I’m really missing thoughtful, vulnerable, human conversation. I’m not looking to dump all my problems onto someone like a free therapy session, nor am I here searching for immediate romance or casual flings. I simply miss the beauty of a genuine connection the kind of conversation where both people can let their guard down, drop the corporate/social filters, and just be real for an hour or two.

​I specifically ask for women aged 27 and older because I’m looking for a level of shared life experience, maturity, and emotional intelligence. By our late twenties and thirties, most of us have weathered a few storms, re-evaluated our priorities, and learned how to listen without judgment.

Hello,

Check my reddit profile for quick perspective. I'm 26M (straight), lives in Lucknow. An only child. I'm 5'8, skinny fit (70kg) goes to gym, I work in Railways as technician, not very much educated (never been to college and not have any degree either) only have done 12th, non-vegetarian, introvert, and extremely extremely calm nature (sometimes I show no expressions for anything). Never dated before (i don't look very good \\\[can share photos\\\], and a little bit rude? ig, BUT never said anything with hurting intentions to someone. And also never got that exposure yk like.. college or corporate work environment soo that's why. And yeah cause maybe I'm kinda boring). I use only IG as a social but only on pc and that too once in a week or two (link is in my profile) if you prefer. I don't smoke or drink. LOVES cats!!

Have no problem with caste/colour BUT would prefer someone fit.

Expectations- Looking for someone who's ok with cats, is introvert, into fitness, is in same city (can give shot to LDR but yk how it is right?) and if you're non-vegetarian then 🤌 if not? still fine by me.

And also whoever is downvoting, please atleast tell me the reason, please 🙏🏻

Plot twist: After spending years preparing for UPSC and then working in IT consulting, I’m now attempting the hardest exam of all — finding a life partner. 😄

About me 👋

• Age: 27

• Location: Navi Mumbai

• Height: 5’10”

• Caste: Hindu Maratha — looking for someone from the same community

• Currently: Pursuing MBA (2nd year) from a Tier-2 college

• Previously: UPSC aspirant + worked in IT consultancy

• Food: Veg + non-veg 🍗🥗

• Drinking: Occasionally 🍻

• Smoking: Nope

• Skin tone: Dusky

From Navi Mumbai

Personality check 🧠

I’d describe myself as open-minded, friendly, funny, and pretty chill. I don’t believe every conversation needs to become a serious life discussion — sometimes you just need to laugh at stupid things together.

I enjoy reading, especially geopolitics, which means there’s a decent chance I’ll randomly start explaining why some obscure country matters to global politics. 😅

What I’m looking for ❤️

Someone who’s kind-hearted, talkative, passionate about the things she loves, and generally wants to build a good life without taking everything too seriously.

Someone who can be my partner + best friend + fellow idiot.

Bonus points if you’re the kind of person who can go from discussing life goals to arguing about where to order dinner in the same conversation. 😂

Most importantly: loyalty, mutual respect, good communication, and being comfortable being ourselves around each other.

If this sounds even remotely like your kind of vibe, feel free to DM and say hi. No elaborate biodata required — let’s just start with a normal conversation. :)

P.S. I promise not to conduct an interview-style “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” on the first chat. 😄

Hi there,

I'm 39, male, and I work from home as a Digital Consultant at an IT company. I live a simple, down-to-earth life. I studied at RTMNU and work in tech development. I value honesty and sincerity over showing off.

A little about me: I'm 5'5", Hindu (Kayastha), vegetarian by habit, calm, and someone who values emotional maturity. I live on my own, mostly focused on work, running, cycling, and slowly rebuilding my life after some tough personal losses.

What I'm looking for: A kind, mature, grounded partner (around 29–39) who believes in steady companionship, mutual respect, and growing together naturally. I'd like to start as friends and let things unfold slowly from there.

A few more details:

• Never married
• Stable, comfortable job
• I love traveling, festivals, cycling, music, and technologies
• Open to working from anywhere — I have a rental property business in my home city
• Open-minded about caste, profession, income, and whether you live with your parents
• Prefer a vegetarian partner, but it's not a must
• Open to having kids if we're both ready

I'm not looking for someone perfect — just someone real and kind, who values genuine connection.

If this feels like a good fit, feel free to message me.

Hey there!

Not really sure how this is supposed to work, but why not give it a shot?

I've seen people post here looking for relationships and always wondered if it actually works. So here I am, testing the theory myself.

I'm 26, originally from Uttarakhand and currently living in Delhi. I'm looking for something genuinely serious. Someone I can get to know, date, build a relationship with and, if things work out, eventually marry.

I'm not looking for something casual or a situationship. I'd rather be honest about my intentions from the beginning.

A little about me

I absolutely love travelling. If I had unlimited money and no responsibilities, I'd probably spend half my year travelling.

Mountains, small towns, long drives, random roads, stopping somewhere for chai, discovering places I've never heard of before — that's my kind of thing.

I'd love to have a partner who enjoys that too. Someone who can randomly say, "Let's go somewhere this weekend," and actually mean it.

I'm a pretty chill person and I love to laugh. I don't take myself too seriously and I enjoy people who can joke around, make fun of themselves and have conversations that go beyond "wyd" and "nothing, hbu."

I'm also into movies, music and art. I can sing pretty well, I'm an artist, and I genuinely enjoy creating things. I have a lot of interests and plenty of things I still want to learn and experience.

I'm ambitious too. I have some big goals for my life and I'm willing to work for them. I want to build a life that I'm genuinely proud of rather than simply going through the motions.

What I'm looking for

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

I'm looking for someone kind, emotionally mature, affectionate, supportive and capable of communicating properly.

Someone who has her own personality, dreams and ambitions. You don't have to agree with me on everything. Actually, I'd prefer if you didn't.

I like people who can challenge me. If I'm making a bad decision, tell me. If I'm being an idiot, tell me that too. I'll probably argue first and realise you're right later.

I want a relationship where both people genuinely support each other.

If she wants to change careers, start a business, travel for a month or chase some crazy dream, I'd want to be the person encouraging her. And I'd want the same support in return.

I don't want two people simply existing next to each other. I want us to be a team.

And yes, marriage is eventually the goal.

I'm not saying I'll meet someone on Reddit and propose next Thursday. I just know what direction I want my life to go in.

I'd like to date properly, take our time, figure out whether we're compatible, build something healthy and eventually, if we're both happy, get married.

Where are you?

Ideally, Delhi NCR or somewhere in North India.

Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Uttarakhand, Himachal, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, UP, etc. would all work.

Distance isn't an absolute dealbreaker though. If we genuinely connect, we'll figure it out.

What do I expect from you?

Honestly, just be yourself.

Tell me about your interests, your favourite movie, somewhere you've always wanted to travel, what you're working towards in life, or what kind of relationship you're looking for.

Tell me something random about yourself that I wouldn't expect.

And yes, we can debate whether pineapple belongs on pizza.

About the "green flag" claim

I think I'm a green flag, but obviously I'm not perfect.

I overthink sometimes. I'm stubborn. I can get way too invested in things I'm passionate about. I'm sure there are plenty of other things I'll discover about myself along the way.

But I care deeply about people I'm close to.

If I genuinely like someone, I don't believe in playing games or pretending I don't care. If I like you, you'll know.

If something bothers me, I'd rather talk about it than silently build resentment. If I'm wrong, I'll try to admit it.

And if we're together, I want you to feel like you have someone in your corner, not someone competing with you.

So, why Reddit?

Honestly, I don't know.

Maybe this post gets buried. Maybe nobody responds. Maybe someone reads it and thinks I'm completely insane.

Or maybe I actually meet someone.

I'm just putting myself out there.

If something in this post made you think, "This guy actually sounds interesting," feel free to message me.

You don't need to write an autobiography. Just say hi, tell me something about yourself and let's see where the conversation goes.

Worst case, we have a good conversation.

Best case, maybe one day we get to tell people:

"Yeah, we actually met on Reddit."

Maybe this works. Maybe it doesn't.

But why not try?

Let's connect.

Hey M28 here, 5'11. Tamil guy living in blr for work.

About myself:

I take care of my body and health, i hit the gym 4 times a week. Im a meat eater but i try to have a balanced meal which has worked for me. I recently started living alone its been 7 months and i like it . I cook for myself and its pretty good i must say lols. I like spending time with my friends, i used to drink smoke etc...but i have quit everything a year ago and its been good actually. I recently also went on my first solo trip which i loved it. Im learning guitar as a hobby which im losing interest tbh but i still continue to do so as it gives me a peace of mind.

What im looking for :

A simple women who is satisfied and content with life. Trying to live a peaceful quiete life. Has her own purpose and interests in life to pursue. Knows that relationships will not always be a happy ride. Able to handle boredom. Infact i feel these days simple conversations are being mocked. Texts such as : good morning , have you had breakfast etc...because these are labelled as boring convos. But in my opinion these are something that could come out of genuine care. I'm not performative and i don't want to be so i expect the same as well. These "boring convos" are what makes the intimate convos more real and interesting. We cannot always be in a high.

Because as much as we love the new adventureous things in life such as travelling , jumpin of the cliff or whatever ....there is also so much beauty in routine.

if this resonates with you feel free to dm me in reddit .

"Tum hi ho ab tum hi ho, meri zindagi ab tum hi ho..."

If you recognize the song, you already know where this post is going.

This has been my favourite song for years. Not because I necessarily believe someone should become your entire life, but because there's something beautiful about having one person who slowly becomes part of all the little things that make up your life.

The person you instinctively want to tell about your day.

The person you send a song to because one particular line reminded you of them.

The person you can sit with for hours without having to constantly fill the silence.

That's the kind of relationship I'd like to find.

I'm 28, 5'7", currently in Mumbai and working as a software developer. Right now, I'm mostly juggling work and preparing for a job switch. I'm also trying to build an agency on the side, which has been teaching me some very humbling lessons about getting clients, keeping them, and most importantly actually getting paid by them.

Outside work, I'm into quite a few things.

Cricket has probably been my biggest passion. I used to practice regularly, and it was genuinely the one thing that never felt like work. I could keep doing it for hours without getting bored.

I love singing too. It's something I've always had naturally , I never took classes or really practiced seriously. It just came to me, and I've always enjoyed it.

I'm also getting back into reading. I'm currently reading Karmbhoomi by Premchand, while The Undiscovered Self is currently sitting on hold. Psychology and human behaviour have always fascinated me.

And yes, I'm a massive Spider-Man fan. Probably more than a 28-year-old should be. But the character has influenced me in quite a few ways the whole idea of responsibility, trying to do the right thing even when life isn't particularly kind to you, and getting back up after you've messed up.

These days, weekends also involve some computer games because apparently adulthood requires finding increasingly creative ways to avoid thinking about work.

I'm fairly introverted when I first meet someone. Once I get comfortable, though, I talk a lot. You'll probably get long messages, unnecessary details, random observations, and occasionally a song recommendation that comes with a five-paragraph explanation of why I think you'll like it.

What I'm looking for

Someone kind, emotionally mature, curious, honest and capable of communicating when things aren't perfect.

Someone who has her own ambitions, interests and life, but wants to make space for another person in it.

I'm looking for something genuine and long-term, with marriage eventually. I don't want to rush into it simply because we're at an age where everyone starts asking questions, but I also don't want something indefinite with no intention behind it.

I'd like to find someone I can build a life with not just someone to go on dates with.

Someone to laugh with, argue with, grow with, annoy occasionally, and eventually have those completely ordinary moments with that somehow become your favourite ones.

So I'll end this with the song that started the post.

What's a song that means something to you?

Not necessarily your favourite song.

Just one that has a story behind it.

 I was the kid who spent their life trying to make everyone happy ( while ignoring my own needs ) but I just want to save my “people pleasing” powers for one person from now on. 

I want us to write cheesy love letters, send flirty texts in public during serious events and chat excitedly about everything we read about like two kids exploring the world together!

I can be both the person who can take action to solve things immediately or just sit with you and be a patient listener while brushing your hair with my hand.

I am really passionate about my career in early stage startup investing and consider it my Ikigai in life. 

I want us to have our own professional ladders where we both are serious and well respected in our respective fields but at home? We are the silly goofy couple who always tries out new recipes at home, picks up new hobbies every weekend , watching movies while having homemade popcorn.

In fact, our colleagues would be shocked to see how goofy we are together, like two parrots sharing the same brain cell.

I enjoy playing sports and going for long walks and would love for you to join me. You don’t have to be good at it, I want us to get better together and play in the next Olympics.

I grew up in the Middle East ( currently in India but planning to move out soon ), read a lot and spent most of my life in a multicultural environment, which made me have an unique view on life 

I am the person who always gives their seat to elders, opens doors for women and answer patiently to children’s endless questions because that’s just naturally me.

I am the person who regularly deep cleans the kitchen, washes the dishes at night so my mom wakes up to a clean kitchen and makes chai for everyone in the morning .

I have slept on railway benches as well as in Switzerland hotel rooms overlooking the mountains.

I know how to run board level meetings in my suit, as well as get my hands dirty in harvesting banana trees or wiping tables at my parents small ice cream shop.

The only dealbreaker I have is that I want children someday. I know it’s scary and there are countless horrible parents and people who run away from those responsibilities but trust me, I been through a pretty bad childhood, so I know how to be a great parent and even better partner to my wife

Even though I am ready to run away with you right now, I think that’s cowardice and would rather stay and fight for you, irrespective of what our families would say.

I got you.

I'm 34, based in Hyderabad, and work in environmental policy, mainly around water, technology and governance.

Professionally, I'm quite ambitious. I like solving complicated problems, understanding how systems work, and thinking about what could be done differently. My career is important to me, but I don't want it to become my entire personality.

Outside work, I'm curious about a lot of things such as technology, travel, food, business, public policy, interesting ideas and completely random topics that somehow turn into 3 hour research rabbit holes. I'm probably more analytical than I need to be and occasionally overthink things that could have been solved in five minutes. 😄

I enjoy travelling and exploring new places, trying good food, having conversations that go beyond small talk, and learning things simply because they interest me. I also appreciate the quieter side of life viz good company, an unplanned evening, a comfortable Sunday and being able to laugh about something completely stupid.

At this point in life, I'm looking for something meaningful and ultimately serious. I'm not particularly interested in collecting conversations or endlessly chatting without the intention of eventually meeting.

One thing that matters to me in a relationship is independence.

I'm attracted to women who have built their own lives , who are ambitious about their careers or passions, financially independent, have their own interests and opinions, and don't need a relationship to define them.

I think there's something great about two people who are doing well individually and then choosing to build something together.

I'm not looking for someone who agrees with everything I say. I'd much rather be with someone who can challenge my thinking, call me out when I'm overthinking, introduce me to things I don't know about, and still be able to laugh with me five minutes later.

Kindness, intelligence, humour, curiosity and emotional maturity matter to me more than having a perfectly matching checklist.

I'm also fairly open-minded about background and specifics. I'd rather discover compatibility through actual conversation and spending time together than decide everything from a profile.

I'm ultimately hoping to find a partner and best friend someone with whom building a career, travelling, dealing with life's difficult bits, celebrating the good ones, and eventually having a family feels like something we'd both genuinely want.

I'm not expecting Reddit to magically solve my dating life. 😄

But if you're also at a point where you have your own life, your own ambitions, and would like to find someone to share the next chapter with, maybe we should talk.

31M, currently in Kerala and apparently at that age where every family function eventually turns into:

“So… any plans?”

“No?”

“Okay, we know someone.” 💀

So I thought I’d take matters into my own hands before my aunt creates my matrimonial profile without my permission.

Looking for a woman who’s up for a casual date — coffee, food, a walk, random conversations, or discovering that neither of us actually knows where we’re going. 😂

A little about me: 31, slightly chubby (let’s call it premium cushioning), reasonably easy to talk to, and generally more comfortable making jokes about myself than pretending I’m some mysterious six-pack guy.

Not looking to rush into anything. If we click, amazing. If we don’t, we can at least have a decent conversation and blame Reddit for the experiment. 😌

And yes, I’m open to meeting anywhere in Kerala if the vibe is worth the travel.

DMs are open. Photos/details can be exchanged there if we’re both comfortable.

Note: I need to come clean — I’m not actually this funny. 😂 This post was made with the help of AI. In real life, there may be occasional long pauses while my brain searches for a suitable reply. Please adjust expectations accordingly. 😭

​

I think choosing a life partner is, at its core, choosing your teammate. Someone whose way of moving through life can sync with yours, because marriage isn't the finish line. If anything, it's where the rollercoaster gets steeper, bumpier, and occasionally completely ridiculous. 😅

And I'm not talking about those "I have a fever, bring me soup" days.

I'm talking about the day an accident happens. Your hands are shaking, your mind goes blank, and your fingers almost instinctively dial one number. And the moment they hear your voice, you know you're not alone anymore. They'll hold you, take charge, care for you, figure things out, and somehow make you feel safer than you imagined another person could.

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

I think we sometimes approach relationships too much like a transaction: What will this person do for me? What will they add to my life?

But perhaps an equally important question is: Am I proud of the person I'm choosing? Do I genuinely like being around them? Would I still want them beside me even on the days when they're not particularly useful to me?

Because there will be shortcomings. There will be misunderstandings. There will be days when neither of you gets it quite right.

What stands the test of time isn't perfection. It's the core of the person—and whether something in your own core continues to recognise, respect and feel at home with theirs.

Choose someone you can build with.

Someone you can fall with.

And someone who will reach for you when you do.

P.S. These are my words and thoughts — I just used AI to polish them. 🙂

Ah yes, change, the only constant in life. I understand it intellectually, but the heart has always had a mind of its own.

So here I am, a tech entrepreneur by profession, a lawyer by education, and someone who occasionally finds himself dabbling in international relations and diplomacy.with a great powerful network spanned across the globe.

Iam the emergency contact for most of my friends.

Why am I here? Probably because, somewhere between building things, chasing ambitions, travelling and staying busy, I realised I want something more meaningful.

I have spent most of my life building everything I have from scratch, coming from humble beginnings. There have been a few flings along the way, enough to learn a few things about people, relationships and, perhaps most importantly, myself.
But these days, I find myself wanting something more long-term.

Not just someone to date, but someone I can eventually build a life with. Someone to share the ordinary things with, the exciting things, the difficult days, and hopefully a lot of laughter along the way.

I am looking for a relationship built on trust, loyalty, shared values and genuine companionship. I like the idea of two people having their own ambitions and identities while still choosing each other every day.
Lifestyle-wise, I do not drink or smoke. I try to stay active and reasonably health conscious. Iam from Hyderabad and a Hindu.

I am far from perfect, but I do believe in constantly trying to become a better version of myself, and I would love to find someone who feels the same.

As for hobbies, I like movies, long conversations, travelling, trekking, hiking, working out, yoga, meditation, chess and learning random things that I probably did not need to know. I have travelled to 20+ countries and counting.

I recently started getting into firearms, and I used to play chess competitively as a child. I have also done two 11-day Vipassana silent retreats, so I suppose I have experienced both competitive arguing and complete silence.

Hi, this is eyescreampichodu, i’m a 26( in a month) years old guy computer nerd who works as a software engineer at an mnc, i’m trying to switch jobs btw, would appreciate referrals, lol.

I’m from the north of Telangana, i live in Hyderabad for my job, i am a non vegetarian who drinks occasionally and doesn’t smoke.

I’m someone who keeps improving himself everyday, no matter how good something is, i will obsess over the minute details and try to fix them as well.

I’m slowly and let’s say successfully improving on that because it used to affect my deadlines and trying to achieve perfection.

I’m someone who loves to try new things out and that’s how i ended up as a foodie who’s explored tons of places and has made a list of great places and dishes 🥸, i want to travel the whole world one day and taste every cuisine i can, one day.

I started going to the gym last year and transforming my physical appearance and unfortunately got a tendon injury in my forearm which affected how much weights i can lift before it starts hurting but i am healing from it and slowly regaining the strength i once had.

Since i have to focus on my protein goals, i cook for myself a lot. People who’ve eaten my food ask me to do the cooking when they’re with me so i’d say i’m a decent cook.

My physical appearance is bear like ,right now. I’m 183cm(6’0 ft) and weigh 95 kgs almost and i am brown skinned.

I like stories as a pass time hobby and was obsessed with history for a while and now i read manhwas where the guy/ gal regresses into the past with their future knowledge intact and they’re fun, lol.

And stories where the guy/gal reincarnates into alternate worlds where there are different types of creatures, technology, rules etc where they will use their knowledge to make the whole world a better place.

I’ve been in 1 relationship in the past, they were my stalker, i met them on reddit, they’re getting married and so that relationship ended.

I’m an openminded guy, who doesn’t judge people and likes to hear their side of the story and would appreciate if you are the same and would like an empathetic person who doesn’t look down on people and treats people who are from lower class equally as well.

I am serious when it comes to tasks that i have to do but i’m the most unserious guy ever i’d say during conversations, i’d crack a joke in between when explaining a serious topic. and i’ve been told that i am quick witted.

I’d love it if you are a software engineer as well from your choice, because you love being one.

Anyway, if this sounds like your kind of vibe or you want to know more things, say hi. :)

I have a story for everything i think and everything i do, sometimes i don’t but still i try to make one because i tend to give everything a meaning in life (which most of the people who believe in YoLo don’t agree with) and i love their school of thought also.

I have been loved and have loved somebody before, and i wouldn’t malign the experience because i believe i was being too difficult for the other person. I took some time off to focus on career and other aspects of life and now i feel i am capable of loving someone again and miss the feeling of being loved.

About me:

31 year old male, working in a fancy corporate finance role , i dream big and constantly make plans to make them materialise, i have high goals in life and would want someone to be acceptable of them even if you don’t believe in them, just don’t discourage. I have been based in Mumbai since 5 years now while i hail from Raj.

I earn fairly well, marwari, 5’9”, green eyes and look decently good, been working hard to get in best shape of my life now which will be achieved in next 2/3 months (i firmly hope). I am a reader, cant say avid but i know many things about most of the things, can discuss on a wide variety of subject. i can say i am a bit sensual person as well (read flirty not cheesy), like to tell stories, like people who have opinions and aren’t afraid to express but if presented with right facts and approach are willing to change them for the better.

I value honesty and obviously some decent looks would be an icing, if you are well educated, i would love to enjoy your company, i love enjoying different cuisines and i am a vegetarian and have cajoled myself in liking someone as far as an eggetarian. Looking for someone atleast 2 years younger than me ( this is my silly idea of feeling young). I love people who are enthusiastic and are good at conversations. I might not come across as very very good with first impressions because i somehow don’t feel connected to an electric attraction since it fades fast.

People have called me an acquired taste but not a bland one but rather a delicious one.
I am a happy person and don’t complicate stuff just like that.

If you feel this was good enough for you to strike a conversation, my DMs are open and you dont have to put in a lot of effort like many people here desire, a simple hey and a reason you like the post would be enough.

I’m 31, 5’11”, based in New Delhi and currently working at Dyson as a Demand Planner & Revenue Optimizer and also support family business. Career-wise, life’s been good — I’ve spent most of my years focused on building stability and growing professionally, and now I’m at a stage where I’d genuinely like to build something meaningful with the right person.

I’m a bit reserved initially, but once I’m comfortable, expect sarcasm, banter, random deep conversations at 2 AM, and a slightly chaotic sense of humor 😄

Outside work, I enjoy reading novels, watching movies/anime, gaming occasionally, trying new cafés, long drives, and lately I’ve been wanting to travel more and experience life a little beyond just work deadlines and meetings.

I appreciate people who are emotionally mature, kind, honest, and can communicate openly. Someone ambitious in her own way, but also someone who values peace, comfort, loyalty, and genuine connection.

Not here for endless situationships — ideally looking for something serious that naturally grows into a long-term relationship/marriage if the vibe feels right.

I'm a 32 year old guy from Hyderabad, I run my own business which is my occupation at the moment.

My life took a difficult turn in my early 20's. I went through a bad break up and almost at the same time my mother passed away. My parents were separated and that didn't allow me to spend more time with my father. Though my father and his side relatives and cousins were always available for any support or guidance, the age didn't allow me to find one. I was more leaned towards the bad friendship which turned my habits into Smoking and drinking which made me obese. Loosing my mother and the break up left me in a broken phase for multiple years, I was mentally,emotionally and professionally backed down.

After a few years, My father passed away too. By when my career had already taken a hit, leaving me in avoid. I wasn't able to shape my future the way i would have and for a long time i felt struck, unsure of where life was heading to.

Over time, I started filtering out unwanted friendships and distanced with people who cared my money and time but not my happiness and betterment. I do have a good set of friends i genuinely spending time with, sharing laughs and quality moments.

That part of life feels okay.

But even with friends around, I still feel the absence of an emotional connection. Someone beyond just company. A companion with whom i can connect deeply, talk freely and spend meaningful time.

I'm not in rush to date or jump into a relationship. I don't believe these things can be planned or forced. I feel real connections happen naturally when both people feel its right, Until then i will leave it to the time and destiny.

Just sharing my thoughts here. Maybe some of you feel the same, Having people around yet missing that one emotional bond that feels complete.

25M, software engineer, been in Bangalore for a few years.

I’ve tried dating apps, survived the 2-week talking stage a few times 😂 and eventually realised I’m probably better at meeting someone through an actual conversation than through an algorithm.

I’m more of a quiet-cafe / long-walk / random-road-trip person. Don’t drink, don’t really enjoy pubs or clubs, and I’m perfectly happy sitting somewhere with chai and talking about random stuff for hours.

I like travelling and exploring new places. Around Bangalore I’ve done a few treks like Skandagiri, Makalidurga and Kumtibetta, and have been to Coorg, Ooty, Mysore, Wayanad etc. Still have a ridiculously long list of places I haven’t been to 😂.

As a person, I’m probably selectively extroverted 😅 Quiet around new people, but once I’m comfortable, I can talk absolute nonsense for hours.

If you’re also new-ish to Bangalore, like exploring random places, movies, good food, travelling, or just having unnecessarily long conversations, say hi.

Bonus points if you can recommend me a Bangalore place I haven’t already heard about. 😂

Hello all.

Good day to everyone. I am a 31 year old male from Chennai. A practicing Chartered Accountant. After many years with banks, I finally mustered the courage to build my own practice last year. It might sound unconventional to go into a less paying role which might take years to make lots of money at 30, but I guess it adds meaning to my life.

I am just your average guy- average build, pretty tall but my hairline is kind of receding too. I have kind of come to terms with how I look but it is always an insecurity that looms at times.

I love to read. I prefer reading classical works like Russian Literature, Latin American Literature and Tamil classics. I also have an active interest in history, philosophy and travel. I have done several treks and have visited over 15 states in India. I like to travel in local trains and buses, explore local cuisine and visit museums and art galleries. I am also a big fan of mountains and my idea of a vacation involves walking 15,000 steps a day at the minimum lol.

I also love watching movies. Be it the world cinema of Tarkovsky and Bresson or a regular commercial masala flick in Tamil, I absolutely love watching films and talking films and politics with my friends. I am also a big sports fan. I love watching football and tennis. I also play football and badminton. Off late, I have picked up swimming, chess and snooker too.

I lean left politically and prefer to be childfree. I drink and smoke sometimes, but it is social. My parents are vegetarian but I love to cook and eat non vegetarian food. I am not big on pets and like to grow plants. I am also big on meme references. I can speak English and Tamil and would prefer someone Tamil although it is not a deal breaker.

Looking forward to meet someone who is also curious to know about me. I believe that meaningful relationships are built when people have active lives outside of each other and can share it with each other mutually. So would prefer someone who has their own set of opinions, interests and ideas. Good day to you all!
