ANNOUNCEMENT: Technical Issues

57 Upvotes

POSTING IS ONCE AGAIN OPEN.

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

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

37 [F4M] - Hey, Mr. Right Now

Upvotes

I love conversations that begin with absolutely no expectations and somehow become the most interesting part of the night.

The kind where one of us says something unexpectedly clever, the other answers a little too honestly and suddenly you’re three tangents deep discussing who knows what.

There’s something addictive about meeting a person you were never supposed to meet.

Someone outside your usual circles. Someone whose stories you haven’t already heard and whose next response you can’t quite predict. A completely unfamiliar mind to wander through, flirt with and see what happens when neither of us is trying too hard.

That’s what I’m looking for here.

Not a résumé exchange. Not perfectly rehearsed answers or twelve polite messages about work. I want the conversation that takes an unexpected turn and becomes the reason neither of us goes to sleep when we planned to. The kind where the teasing gets better, the replies get faster and…

I’m drawn to wit, curiosity, confidence, and personality. People who are unapologetically themselves. Tell me the story you usually save until someone has earned it. Send me the song that sounds better after midnight. Give me an opinion I can challenge, a confession I can’t ignore or a question that catches me slightly off guard.

Maybe we trade a few messages and leave each other with something new to think about. Maybe there’s an immediate spark. Maybe the conversation develops that rare little pull that makes you check your phone more often than you’d ever admit.

No plan, no expectations. 

Just two interesting strangers and a conversation with enough chemistry to make ending it feel like a gamble.

So Mr. Right Now. What’re we talking about?

14 Upvotes

Hey friends ☺️

I am tall (6ftish), plus sized, white with curly reddish hair and glasses. I love music (2000s/2010s indie/alt has been hitting recently), podcasts (scams, cults, white collar crime), tv shows (think Community, Parks and Rec, the Mindy Project), calming crafts and nature walks. Politically I am a leftist and I hold those values closely. I have a lil cat named Bijou who is feisty af. I am disabled (🧠) and am not able to work rn, hence all the free time. I work full time on my mental health and establishing healthy routines for myself. That being said, I am not looking for someone to support me except emotionally lol. I dabble in the dating sites but I find Reddit people are more my style so I’m curious if anyone is out there for me. Message me if you think we’d get along!

32 [M4F] Germany - Plus size guy looking for a nice woman to talk to

3 Upvotes

Hey everybody!

I am from Germany and I am 32 years old. I am respectful, polite, kind, empathetic and funny. I'm very selfless, it's more important for me that you have pleasure and satisfaction. Consent and that you feel comfortable are very important things to me. I would also say I am a LGBTQ+ ally and a feminist. We can just talk normally in the beginning and get to know each other and then see where that leads us 😊

I am partial to women with more to love, but I welcome all bodies and sizes to message me.

I just wish, I could make a woman feel like she is the most beautiful woman in the world, make her feel appreciated and desired.

So yeah, message me if you are interested 😊

35 [M4F] Michigan / Anywhere. Looking for a distraction, a connection, and voice chats....

10 Upvotes

I'm naturally introverted (but still like to go out and explore) and deal with a bit of social anxiety, so my circle is pretty small. I'm looking for someone to laugh with, share late-night conversations, send random memes to, and see where it goes. Love voice chats and down to swap pics!

A little about me:

- 6'2"

- Supervisor by day

- Huge nerd: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, fantasy, video games, and a little anime

- Love movies and TV

- I stay active and enjoy going to the gym

- I love cooking and baking

What I'm looking for:

Someone kind, affectionate, and a little goofy. Someone who's comfortable being themselves and enjoys flirting, good morning texts, sharing little moments from their day, and slowly building a genuine connection.

I'm especially drawn to empathy, honesty, and a good sense of humor. If you have an accent... well, I probably won't get tired of hearing your voice.

Distance doesn't matter as much as effort. If we click, we can figure out the rest together.

If any of this sounds like your kind of person, send me a message. Tell me about your favorite comfort movie, what game you're currently playing.

37[F4R] - Looking for a Meal Planning & Weight Loss Buddy

2 Upvotes

I've been trying to lose weight for the last 4–5 months, and for the first time in my life I've actually stayed consistent and made real progress. Things are going well, but I still lose motivation on a lot of days.

I eat two meals a day and try to prepare healthy, filling meals instead of just eating less. The excitement I had at the beginning isn't really there anymore, and some days the whole process just feels repetitive and boring.

I'm looking for someone to meal plan with and maybe prepare food together 2 - 3 times a week. Having to decide what to eat every single day is exhausting, so I want to start making monthly meal plans. I also want to prepare freezer-friendly meals or ingredients in advance to make things easier.

The problem is that cooking and eating healthy has started to feel like a chore, and I'm honestly getting tired of it. I think it would be much easier and more enjoyable to do this with someone else. If you're in the same situation, maybe we can plan our meals together, try new recipes, and make this whole process a little less boring.

If you're in a different time zone and still want to join, that's totally fine! We can make our meal plans and share photos of what we cook and eat. Of course, similar time zones (GMT+3) would be nice since cooking or meal prepping at the same time could make it more fun.

37 [M4F] USA/Anywhere - Looking to make some friends.

5 Upvotes

I never know what to say in these things. I’ll try to keep it brief and to the point.

37 year old guy from the north east. I’m not looking for anything particular, just someone to who’s easy going and able to hold a conversation.

I’m a pretty avid reader. I like music (metal, hardcore, rock-like stuff etc). I play guitar. I occasionally play video games, but very infrequently. I occasionally go fishing (I don’t catch much of anything). I don’t really watch TV so I have no idea what shows are cool or what anyone is talking about. Socially and politically I’m very progressive, if that matters. I like banter, dark humor, and just not taking things too seriously.

I think I’ve covered the basics… maybe. If think we’d mix well, send me a message. It doesn’t need to be a fancy introduction or anything crazy, it’s only Reddit after all.

31 [F4M] South Carolina – Single mom, spooky nerd, and professional overthinker looking for something real

2 Upvotes

Okay, I have officially reached the "maybe my person is hiding somewhere on Reddit" stage of dating, so here we are lol.

I'm 31 and live near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I'm a widowed mom to two-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, and l also have a black Lab mix who is basically my third child. My life can be chaotic, but it is also full of love, snacks, toddler nonsense, dog hair, and someone always needing something from me.

I'm 5'4", curvy/plus-size, mixed Black and white, with blue eyes, short dark curly hair, and glasses. I'm happy to exchange pictures once we've spoken a little, because attraction matters, but I'm not trying to lead with a full photoshoot for the men of Reddit lol.

Personality-wise, I'm affectionate, sensitive, sarcastic, a little awkward, and probably too honest once I feel comfortable. I can be introverted and definitely prefer being at home with someone I love over going out to crowded bars every weekend. I like meaningful conversations, laughing over stupid things, sending random thoughts throughout the day, and feeling like the person I'm talking to actually wants to know me.

Some of the things I'm into:
Thrifting, consignment stores, flea markets, and finding weird vintage things I absolutely do not need
Metaphysical shops, crystals, astrology, spirituality, and anything slightly mysterious
Indie horror games and watching video-game playthroughs
Games like Persona, Dragon Age, and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines
Shows like The X-Files and Twin Peaks
Horror, mysteries, weird internet rabbit holes, and conversations that go in completely unexpected directions
Staying home, getting comfortable, ordering food, and watching something together while pretending we're going to stay awake

I'm looking for an actual relationship. Not a situationship, secret hookup, "let's just vibe," or a married man who is allegedly leaving his wife sometime within the next three business years.! want something intentional, monogamous, affectionate, emotionally safe, and eventually serious.

I'm most attracted to men who are kind, masculine, protective, family-oriented, loyal, emotionally mature, and comfortable taking initiative. I appreciate a traditional/provider-minded man not because I expect to contribute nothing, but because I'm happiest in a relationship where the man genuinely enjoys leading, providing stability, and making his partner feel cared for. I'm not looking for a roommate-style 50/50 relationship where we Venmo each other for toilet paper.

You need to be comfortable dating a mother and understand that my children are a permanent and very important part of my life. I'm not expecting anyone to immediately step into a father role, but I am only interested in someone who could eventually embrace being part of a family. Please be genuinely single, emotionally available, and done entertaining multiple women.
I'm not looking for a pen pal who lives across the world. Ideally, you're somewhere in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, or within a realistic driving distance. I'm open to talking online first, but the goal would be to meet and build a real-life relationship not message forever while pretending distance is irrelevant.

Send me a message with your age, location, what you're looking for, and a little about your life. Please give me more than "hey" or "wyd." Tell me your favorite strange, creepy, nerdy, or completely random interest so I know you actually read this.

34[M4F] #USA, #Texas, - Slow wednesdays and songs living rent free in your head

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all, does anyone else feel like they have so much to say in one of these posts, yet the moment they open up a fresh one their mind just goes blank?

Anyways, congrats, we all survived to the midweek. Just a few more days to go and then the weekend is back. Work was more of work today, that's for sure. Also some please take Texas out of the oven, this heat is ridiculous!

About me: former chef, a creative type and a nerd at heart with a sense of humor. I love being outdoors but I'm also down with a rainy day on the couch with a good book. I love everything from sci-fi to historical fiction to fantasy. Life is an adventure and I prefer for every day to be something new.

What am I looking for? Great question and I honestly don't have a damn clue. I like to approach every opportunity I can and keep my expectations low. Hoping to know whatever it is I'm after when I see it type of situation. Maybe it's just casual flirty banter or maybe something more, I guess we will find out in the end.

Anyways drop me a line and if you bothered to make it this far and read the fine print let me know what song is currently stuck on repeat in your head. (I miss you by blink 182 is stuck in mine) Looking forward to getting to know you.

[M4F] 50 #Toronto looking for a spark

Upvotes

I’m a 50‑year‑old guy in Toronto who’s got his life together, a dry sense of humour, and a habit of catching people off guard in good ways. I’m outdoorsy, active, and a little bit mischievous — the kind of person who can talk travel, wine, or the kind of stories you only tell when the lighting’s low. I’m here because I miss that feeling when a conversation starts slow, gets playful, and suddenly you’re both leaning in a little. I’m not looking for chaos — just someone curious, confident, and open to seeing where chemistry goes. If you like a man who’s grounded, flirtatious, and knows how to keep things interesting, send a message. Tell me what kind of trouble you’re in the mood for.

My English isn't perfect, but I do my best. Just DM me if you're interested. :)

39 [F4M] #Connecticut

Upvotes

Seeking a man aged 37-50 in Connecticut or one of the surrounding states. If this is not you, please do not DM me. I would like to eventually be able to meet up in person on a regular basis.

I would like to build connection and trust and create a friendship with the goal of it developing into a relationship. If you do not have the ability to make time for someone, we will not align.

I’m 5’4”, blue eyes, brown hair, curvy. Alt/goth-ish. Tattooed and planning on more. Mother to one teenager and one dog. Married and divorced once. I vape but plan to quit by the end of the summer. I am 420 friendly. I have a great job that I enjoy.

I love thrifting/antiquing, flea and farmers markets, dive bars, cooking, reading, snuggling on the couch watching movies, collecting things like stickers, bones, enamel pins, souls of the damned. Always down for bowling or an arcade.

If you meet my criteria and feel like we’d vibe, please send a DM with your age, location, and your opinion on hot vs cold lobster rolls.

31 [M4F] Texas/Online, Let’s chit and chat! Maybe even in that order!

Upvotes

Hiya Reddit, I’m sure this will get lost in a never ending sea of posts of the same types of people look for the same amounts of connection but I’m here to annoyingly add another!

I’m a 31 year old from Texas (not the yikes part, also a leftist), who works full time and just wanting to find a connection that I can message and talk with constantly and have become my favorite notification. I haven’t had much luck with these kind of endeavors irl lately so wanted to give here a shot!

At the advice of someone else on here I guess some physical description is good for this sort of thing as well (I get it, we all have preferences!). I’m 5’8” (painfully average), Latino and am physically fit (not a statue or anything don’t have that sort of expectation lmao) and am always working on myself in that regard!

I have my life pretty well put together and my interests include the usual video games, anime and nerdy things with a few of my favorites down below! I’m also getting back in love with the gym and am a long time practitioner of Muay Thai so activity is a big plus for me!

For a list of my kpop favorites: Le Sserafim, Illit, Aespa Stray Kids, Enhypen, and Ateez are some of my faves!

Manga: Chainsaw Man, Dandadan, Akane-Banashi, Blue Box

Hope that this finds some people who are interested and reach out via DM! And if not why do you care? Did you even read this far?

39 [F4M] EST, But Open

38 Upvotes

This can’t be any worse than dating apps, right?

Freshly 39, single, never married, no kids.

Me:

I love to make things - I bake (lately bread, I’m late on the sourdough train), I brew (mead specifically, yes I’m likely as dorky as I sound), I weave (I picked up chainmaille again recently after years away).

I love to learn new things, and I will opine. Predictably, I love a good banter or heated discussion.. so long as no one expects to “win.”

I read voraciously. Mostly fantasy, but I dabble in anything that sparks interest. My nonfiction skews to the Big Questions - the nature of reality, physics, how the universe started. I guess I stay true to the “appreciates world-building” theme?

I love to be outside and in nature, the irony being I live in a city (which I often debate leaving). Recently my travel has revolved around hiking in beautiful places around the world. I prefer travel over vacations, and yes there absolutely is a difference!

What I’m looking for:

While I wouldn’t mind a friendship growing from a response to this post, ideally I’m looking for a partner. Someone who’s sure about the core of what they want. Not perfect or without baggage, that’s boring and frankly kinda suss; but someone who knows that building something together means compromise and work.

I’m generally an agreeable and flexible person, but I’m not interested in doing the emotional labor of a relationship on my own. I appreciate kindness over niceties, and a balance of teasing wit with earned vulnerability.

I value my life as it is now - good community, friends and family, an awesome dog, financially sound - so I’m holding out for someone awesome. Someone who engages, sparks interest, and wants to go toe-to-toe with a partner.

Tell me something you’re passionate about. Maintain a conversational volley. Read this entire post and tell me if you prefer sweet or savory cornbread. Be authentic and candid. I’m not one for small talk, and I can’t keep it going for long. I value what’s on the inside more, but I’m only human and looks are part of compatibility for me. Let’s plan to exchange SFW pictures within the first few messages.

I'm in the USA.

About me: outgoing & extroverted, I love sunsets. the beach & jovial songs. Words (from poems, prose, lyrics, books, etc.) make me feel things, if that even makes sense.

I'd rather have a deep conversation than endless small talk. I appreciate kindness, empathy, and people who can laugh at themselves. I am charitable and volunteer. I like to cuddle, I am trusting &very loyal. If you are a female who party's every weekend with your girl friends we are probably not a match. If you like to do that on occasions, cuddle with your man and share many adventures then let's chat! Open to LDR's/airport dating.

I know the SCAMS though so don't bother to solicit!

34 [M4F] - PJs at 5PM and Other Signs You're Getting Old.

1 Upvotes

I'm always hearing about people saying stuff like "35 is the new 25". Sure, it would be nice to go back to a time when life was more carefree and our dispositions were more innocent, but maybe we should really lean into another strategy: 35 is the new 65.

I'll throw some things out there:

Complaining about the music being too loud at a restaurant (where you're having dinner at approximately 4:15PM).

Comparing how many hours of sleep you got last night with your friends and co-workers as if its a competitive sport.

Making noises when you sit down. Bonus points if the chair is wobbly and you try to fix it.

Turning the car radio down so you can see better.

Scrolling through Cable TV (because you still have that) and finding nothing to watch, commenting that we had less channels 20 years ago and more content.

Yes, this post is a shameless way to try and get you to smile and have you want to message me. I guess having no filter is another thing to add to the list.

33 [M4F] Husky Nerd Seeking Powerful Damsel

1 Upvotes

I’m a simple, easy to please man at heart. Food, animals, movies, and a board game are the way to my everlasting love. I am a big time history and sci-fi nerd.  I was raised by a single mom and have a deep respect for strong women, which I also attribute to my love of characters such as Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley, & Xena. Be my Damsel, and let’s cause some Distress for the bad guys, together? 

I work a variety of part-time jobs while dealing with chronic pain from a spinal injury. I write, edit, and do audio censorship. I volunteer with local animal rescues in several capacities, and I am also getting involved with the local hospital’s library program. If you want cute cat pictures, I’m your man! 

I am very left leaning politically and do not tolerate any forms of bigotry. I do not smoke and very rarely drink, but I do love my baked goods a little too much. I do not have nor want any children of my own. My ambitions are humble but deeply personal; give me a small house, a loving partner, and some rescue animals and I’m more than happy with life!

Honestly just looking to pass the time at work.

I’ll be your hype man if there’s something you’re proud of that you have accomplished in your life recently.

I’ll be an ear if you are sad about something and commiserate.

If you want to sharpen your social skills I can give you what has worked for me.

Minimal effort needed will talk as much as you want or I can just listen if you need a void to scream into.

A little bit about me I’ve been interviewing people for work for about 15 years and can keep the conversation going. I can talk about most topics, music (always open to suggestions also!) is my specialty.

What is your favorite song of all time?
