M4F Texas 35 [M4F] #Houston, Texas. A small essay about my personality and interests, and what I'm looking for. Hope to hear from you.

2 Upvotes
  • I'd like to find someone who captivates me. Someone who I can talk with effortlessly. I want to meet a person who I can include in my daily tasks, and talk with throughout the day. I just want to find someone I can be open with. Platonic conversation or romance. Whatever you are looking for, don't hesitate to message me. I hope to hear from you.
  • I'm fairly open to trying new things, but some of the things I enjoy are as follows. I love the outdoors. I've never been camping, but I would like to try it with someone someday. I also love to fish. I mostly fish salt water. I do occasionally fish freshwater though.
  • PC games are also an enjoyable pastime for me on occasions. I have a variety of games, most of which are on Steam. I have other games on various other stores/services. I enjoy a wide variety of different kind of games, so I'm sure we can find something to play together if you game.
  • One hobby I discovered later on in life is Magic the Gathering. I play both online on MtG Arena, and with physical cards. Magic has become something I am particularly fond of.
  • Music has always been a part of my life. My tastes are varied, ranging from country, death and black metal, electronic, classic rock, folk, pop punk, and more.
  • I enjoy doing things outside, as well as spending time indoors. I can veg out all day under the covers curled up in my bed, or I can take a trip somewhere and experience something new. I think my personality is a mix of the best of both worlds.
  • As far as my personality is concerned, I would say I am fairly relaxed and laid back. I feel like I am mostly shy and quiet, with an introverted personality. Around people I don't know, I tend to be fairly quiet and to myself. In the company of someone who I am close with, I am more open and freer.
  • All I hope for is a connection. It could be platonic, or it could blossom into romance, and commitment. I'm not putting a limit on what I am looking for.
  • With the prior being said, I am single. I may be interested in changing that with the right person. The idea of commitment excites me. Monogamy is appealing to me.

F4A California 36 [F4A] #California Anywhere- creative friendships and FFXIV buddies. Do you roleplay?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

Hope y’all are doing well. You can call me Esac or Emi. Either works. I’m 36 years old, I like anime and video games! Also neurodivergent (autism).

Super into Pride and Prejudice and LotR, they’re both comfort medias.

I’m a self taught artist, and I used to work in a museum, so like art history is a thing I really like. I also like museums of all kinds! And just hanging out at coffee shops and sketching, or writing if time permits.

So what am I lookin for?

I’d love to have a friend that draws and makes their own OCs. Also please I beg (nicely) be into writing roleplays. Or drawing, I’m starved of both in my circle of friends. I miss sharing similar hobbies with people.

I’m a big fan of monster characters too! And monster romance.

Other than that it would be nice to have more gaming buddies. We don’t have to play games together all the time, but it would be nice to play FFXIV together :) I am all caught up with everything. I’ve just been leveling the crafting stuff. I don’t raid though, sorry.

Actually, I need more FFXIV friends. I’m on Aether/jenova. No, I don’t need an FC I am in charge of my own. I just need more bodies for daily roulettes cuz I don’t like playing in my own lol.

I’m alt/goth if that matters and in a long term open relationship.

Big fan of cute things, rocks, stickers, jewelry and makeup, bats, werewolves and vampires. I loooove sunsets and the rain!

What’s your favorite season?

Also I really like writing. I love brainstorming and coming up with ideas. I love roleplaying as well and creating something with another person. Before you ask I do NOT like DnD, so please do not ask me.

I’m looking for another person that likes to info dump and talk about their day! And drawing of course. I miss showing off artwork to other people.

M4F Oregon / Online 40 [M4F] Oregon/Online - Looking for daytime banter before I start naming the houseplants

2 Upvotes

40, Portland, OR, WFH in tech. The job is fine. The house is quiet. By 2pm I’ve already had entire conversations with the microwave and given two of the plants names they did not ask for.

Looking for a woman to chat with during the day. Easy and fun. Banter, teasing, the occasional badly timed joke. If it turns a little flirty, even better. I like that kind of back and forth. Bonus points if you also work in tech.

I’m on X more than I should be. I listen to the Red Scare podcast, Anna and Dasha. The Perfume Nationalist. Rare Candy. If you’ve been in that orbit, we will probably get along.

I’m not trying to make this a whole production. I like talking to someone who’s sharp and doesn’t take herself too seriously. If you can make a Monday afternoon interesting, that’s pretty much my type.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, say hi. Tell me what you’re avoiding at work or home right now. I’ll tell you about the latest meeting I keep postponing.

M4F Florida / Online 25 [M4F] #Florida, #Anywhere, US/EST/ Online, Looking for a great relationship :)

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow Humans!! 💖🌍

I use reddit a lot, so I figured I'd give this a shot I guess 🥰

Happy October!!! lol 🥳🎉💖 My name is Lou, my favorite color is blue, I’m a huge gaming fan and I'm from Florida, seeking a long term relationship with someone that I truly connect with on a deep level. Someone who isn't perfect, but is willing to grow in the right direction. I'd love to spend the weekends watching the rain together, playing video games together, going out to visit museums together, and really just do anything together. You don't have to have these things of course, but you do get bonus points if you're a gamer, open minded, have tattoos, or love animals. I don't want to be with someone who hates cats and dogs and just animals in general. If I could live a second life as any animal, I'd immediately pick living as a panda. I'd love to have a pet one day when I'm in a better situation to properly take care of one. I love cats and dogs 🐶🐱I also love gaming and play all kinds of games ❤️

EXPECTATIONS / WANTS

- I'm okay with long distance dating and I'm also cool with dating someone in Florida as well.

- Emotionally mature, truthful and willing to grow together

- Values compassion, empathy, kindness, being considerate, 100% honesty, and understanding

- Open minded and curiosity to learn about a variety of topics

- Passionate about their hobbies and willing to talk about anything from the most simple things like the beautiful rain outside, to funny things like pandas dancing, to more serious topics about societal issues

- Someone who complements my personality and matches my energy.

- I prefer someone that is my age (25) or maybe someone that is a few years older or younger.

- As far as attraction is concerned, I'm genuinely attracted to all kinds of body types and shapes, but I do like some sort of thickness or curves with something back there lol I hope that doesn't sound superficial, tattoos are awesome as well :)

- I'm a democrat/leftist, so if you're a republican or in the middle, we are incompatible.

RED FLAGS / TURN OFFS / NON NEGOTIABLES

• Homophobia, Bigoted, Racism, Colorism, Misogyny, Sexism, Transphobia, all of the other methods of discrimination that make me mad.

• Once again, I'm a democrat/leftist, so if you're a republican or in the middle, we are incompatible.

• Completely against science, anti - science

• Being superficial, materialistic, obsessed with vanity, overly judgmental,

• Hating animals, being superficial about animals in terms of their appearance, treating pets like personal play toys, rather than living beings with their own personalities who need love, respect, and proper care.

• Smoking, drugs (Exception - Medical weed is fine as it can especially medically help with autism and adhd, ptsd etc.), excessive drinking, hard partying

* I'm not religious, so I prefer to be with someone who is also not religious. Exception - If your spiritual that's okay :)

* Most people including myself want to be liked and loved which is a good thing, but if you're willing to build bridges with bad people at the expense of your values or change yourself into a different person in order to be liked by people, than we absolutely incompatible.

* If you believe in capital punishment, then we are incompatible.

ABOUT ME / HOBBIES

• I'm 5'9, 230 lbs (chubby to fat), brown eyes, my ethnicity is Haitian, I'm Agnostic, and I love being black. Also, my left arm is fully functional, but can't extend as far as my right arm can. I have sort of a thunderbolt like scar from surgery. Here's what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/4kSPPWk

• I love learning, talking, watching, and playing video games. There are so many to choose from, but my favorite game of all time would be Katamari Damacy, I play on PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch.

• I have a high school diploma and no degree at the moment. I'm currently working as a mental health technician at a mental health facility. It's pretty wild job especially as a first job, but I've learned so many life lessons from working there for the past three years. I also live with my parents so if that's a turn off for you, I completely understand :)

• Over the course of my life so far.. or rather the 25 years I've spent with the earth spinning around, people have told me that I'm kind, chill, and have a deep voice for radio. I've been told that I'm funny, I don't really see it in myself, but I appreciate the compliment. I can also be too cynical sometimes, overthink things, and can be a bit afraid to step out of my comfort zone.

• I also have ADHD and have struggled with education my whole life, so school has been hard and annoying for me, especially when figuring out what my learning styles are. So having an understanding of neurodivergence and seeking a diagnosis is also very important to me, as people tend to be very mean, inconsiderate, ableist, and just not very understanding of how learning disorders exist on a spectrum.

• I'm honest, kind, chill, caring, compassionate, thoughtful, open minded and introspective. You can tell me anything and I promise you that I will never tell a soul about what you've told me in confidence. I deeply respect people's privacy so I would definitely want to earn your trust.

• Music: I honestly listen to all kinds of music from different genres, as long as it sounds good to my ears, I'm listening. My earliest memories of listening to music was when my parents would play Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Norah Jones, etc. Mariah Carey - We Belong Together is one of my favorite songs. I love Beyonce's Irreplaceable as well.

• TV/Film: I'll watch a movie from any genre If I truly like it. I really love animated films and Finding Nemo is one of my favorite movies ever. I've been quite behind on movies and watching tv shows as of late, but I do have a favorite movie and that would be Spiderman Across the Spiderverse right now.

• I'm a very casual sports fan, so I don't really tune into games that much, more so highlights. I really have become a big fan of futbol and I like watching futbol(soccer) ever since watched the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I probably watch futbol highlights the most out of any other sport. I also like watching the basketball and watching basketball highlights as well. I love watching Coco Gauff, Aja Wilson, Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese play in their respective sports. I once had a cute fantasy of being a professional basketball player, but that was more of my parents dream to be honest that they attempted to forced onto me.

• I'm also into writing, pop culture, cooking, reading. I really love watching the rain though and the weather channel.

CONCLUSION

I'm not necessarily the biggest people person and I love being single lol so if I'm bringing someone into my life, I'd prefer for that person to be someone that I genuinely love and appreciate. I want to be with someone that actually likes me, not just tolerating me. Like I stated in the beginning of this post, I'm not looking for perfection, but I am looking for someone who is willing to be on the exact same page as I am. I love talking and making genuine connections, as there is a gigantic world out there. So if your truly interested talking, then a genuine relationship can happen 😄 DM if interested!! :) It's also okay if you're not interested because I'm not entitled to a relationship and I'm also not entitled to anyone's time. 💖 Have a great day and week!!!

M4F United Kingdom 29 [M4F] UK - Am I your dream guy? I hope not, most of my dreams are really weird.

2 Upvotes

Hello there! As mentioned in my title (You did read the title, I hope? I put a lot of effort into it.), I'm a 29-year-old guy living in the mystical, magical land of checks notes England. Okay, maybe not so magical. All the dragons are in Wales, Excalibur has been melted down for scrap, and Hogwarts is in Scotland.

I currently work in a law firm. Sadly I'm not a lawyer, as that would mean I'd be earning shedloads, but actually I do admin work for them, earning considerably less than shedloads. But it's a fine job, I get on well with my coworkers, and I'm not down a coal mine, so I consider that a win.

As for me myself? Well, I actually speak multiple languages. I'm a fluent German speaker, and I also have a decently high level of Italian. I could also struggle through French if I had to, and I have basic Spanish and Japanese. I do like languages, although it's hard to find the time to do any study of them, what with the problems of having an adult life with adult responsibilities!

Another interesting [citation needed] thing about me is that I'm currently attempting to plan out a series of fantasy novels I want to write. It's going...decently. We'll see how it ends up, but I've wanted to write a book since I was 13 or so, and now as an adult I'm finally doing something about it!

In terms of pop culture, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. Like, I'm the sort of Doctor Who fan who knows what a telerecording is and can tell you about the Australian censor clips. That kind of fan. I also finally got into Harry Potter this year after putting it off for my whole life, meaning I now finally know the context for Dumbledore asking calmly.

I'm also getting back into Pokémon somewhat after avoiding it for most of the Switch era. Other things I enjoy are The Elder Scrolls, Red Dead, GTA. I'm big Assassin's Creed fan too. In general I like single player, open world games. I'm not a huge multiplayer guy, I don't like having other people ruining my fun!

I'm trying to read more too lately. That's a thing I've always enjoyed that I'm now trying to find the time for again.

And I suppose I should say, I'm a fat guy. Trying to do something about it though!

M4F California 39 [M4F] #Eastvale, California. Intentional dating with marriage, family, and a peaceful home in mind

1 Upvotes

The best dynamic is one where neither person has to perform. When the day winds down, the right connection simply feels like exhaling.

I am posting with clear intention: I am looking for a partner with a warm heart, quiet depth, and grounded values to build a lasting marriage, a shared home, and a family together. Someone who brings laughter, curiosity, and warmth into a room, but appreciates having a steady, dependable man in her corner who handles the logistics, keeps life grounded, and makes sure she always feels completely looked after.

A proper introduction:

  • Background: 39, 5'10", fit, clean, and healthy.
  • Profession: Data scientist by day, balancing complex analytical work with an active, tactile routine outside the office.
  • Roots: Eldest sibling from a first-generation background. Deeply rooted in cultural heritage and family ties, while keeping a thoughtful, modern outlook on life and personal growth.
  • Daily Life: Happiest working with my hands in the garden, cooking wholesome meals from scratch, staying active, or heading out to the mountains and coastline to hike, camp, and reset in nature.

What I am building toward: I believe real romance lives in both intentional dates and simple domestic rhythms: cooking side-by-side, slow weekend mornings, quiet evenings winding down together, and building a committed future rooted in mutual respect, laughter, and children. With the fall season settling in and Diwali right around the corner, it is an ideal time of year for cozy evenings, shared celebrations, and starting something meaningful.

Logistics and communication: I am based in Eastvale (Inland Empire). Local to Southern California is ideal for easy momentum, though I am open to someone willing to relocate for the right match. Mutual attraction and real-world chemistry matter, so let us connect right here in Reddit chat/DMs, swap clear photos early to put faces to names, and transition to a relaxed phone call before planning an easy first meeting.

If this aligns with what you are looking to build, send a message sharing a bit about your background, what your ideal unplugged Sunday looks like, and what thoughtful gesture makes you feel truly valued.

M4F Ohio / Online 24 [M4F] Almost a year and half out of college, looking to meet a girl who loves the gym as much as I do #Ohio #Online

1 Upvotes

I’m an engineering grad who loves the gym, running, and fun bike rides or hiking trips with friends. (even tho I never thought I’d see the day where I actually enjoyed running, somehow we got here)

I’ve definitely been feeling a bit isolated recently. I work for a relatively small manufacturing company as a design engineer for water well accessories (seals, adapters, check valves, etc.. that you would use if your house ran on a well water system) I enjoy the ownership and design work a lot, the only issue is that it can be a bit isolating. I don’t really have many peers around my age so I mostly only catch up with friends on weekends.

Dating apps really haven’t been working too well for me lately, and have been draining my energy so I’m deciding to give this a shot instead lol

I’m looking for someone to talk to on weeknights or weekends when we feel lonely or don’t have plans. I don’t really have any expectations, just please be genuine :) (bots get annoying as hell)

I’ll do my best to respond as soon as I can but I definitely prefer platforms other than Reddit where I’m more active.

M4F Louisiana 35 [M4F] Louisiana / US - Alt/nerd seeks a connection rooted in genuine love.

1 Upvotes

I'm a quiet, private guy and I keep to myself until I get to know someone. I value upfront honesty and people who are comfortable being themselves. Most of my time goes into gaming, learning new crafts, reading, binging a series, or -doomscrolling-.

I'll take sporadic trips to nearby places I haven't eaten at yet when I don't feel like cooking and walk a few laps at a local park when I'm able.

I'm wired a bit differently and navigate the world with a neurodivergent mindset (ennui, choice paralysis, executivedysfunction), which means my attention and energy can fluctuate, but I'm always focused on my own growth and discipline. Just as well as my title implied I am a bit of an alt nerd with my style; a few piercings and tattoos and black nails. (Often mistaken for not presenting as straight and I find that funny.)

I'm looking for a serious, *strictly monogamous* relationship where we can just be completely transparent with each other.

A woman that is familiar with or at least willing to learn about *AuDHD*.

I'm *heavily* *introverted*, so an adoptive extrovert would be much appreciated.

The fuzzy dad-bod is here to stay.

I'm looking for someone who balances me out, and I often find myself most drawn to women from diverse cultural backgrounds. I really appreciate a partner who has a more assertive, protective, or nurturing presence that makes it easy for me to drop my walls and relax. I feel it should be effortless for someone to let themselves be vulnerable with someone else, I try to be as approachable myself. Witty banter, being more expressive and direct, attempts to relate or to be inclusive are easy brownie points for the taking! (Which, the closer you are the better.)

I feel like I gave enough to talk about though, so I look forward to hearing from you! ☺️

Not looking for anything specific but not against anything either. Whether it be a quick conversation, ongoing friendship, or anything more and in-between. I'm terrible at talking about myself, but I'll give some spark notes. I'm a writer, so I also read A LOT currently reading Red Seas Under Red Skies, The Name of the Wind, and Between Two Fires. Love movies and TV as well, but I've been in a bit of a viewing slump. My favorites are Twin Peaks, The Expanse, Bobs Burgers, and The Evil Dead movies. I do play games but a bit sporadically but would be down to do something if you'd like! Big fan of cold and rainy weather, and I do daydream on occasion of becoming a mountaintop hermit. My opening karaoke song is usually Hound Dog by Elvis. It sets the vibe.

Determined to connect with a special someone

Monogamous : Serious Intentions Only

Hi, and thanks for stopping by.

I’m a 28-year-old Florida woman with a mixed cultural background that includes Black, Asian, and European heritage. I’m Black-presenting, so if that’s not your preference, no worries.

I’m at a point in life where I’m looking for something meaningful, lasting, and grounded in real compatibility. I value faith, loyalty, emotional maturity, honesty, and mutual respect, and I’d love to find someone who feels similarly about building a strong relationship and eventually a family together.

A few things that matter to me are good communication, consistency, kindness, and being able to genuinely enjoy each other’s company. I also care deeply about family and appreciate people who are respectful toward the important people in my life.

What I’m Looking For:

• Monogamous and emotionally mature

• Christian (strong faith in God) and serious about faith

• Honest, respectful, and intentional

• Good communicator who doesn’t ghost

• Family-oriented and grounded

• Someone who desires having kids and is ready

• Someone who enjoys humor and can laugh easily (Give me your best Dark or dry Humor joke)

• Health-conscious or working toward self-improvement

• No smoking or drug use

• Between 24–56

• White or East Asian

A Little About Me:

I’m introspective, creative, affectionate, and adventurous. I enjoy nature, history, road trips, discovering new places, and learning random interesting things. I love both deep conversations and playful humor.

In my free time, I enjoy gaming (especially RPGs, FPS games, and simulation games), journaling, singing, skincare, listening to rock and heavy metal, and relaxing outdoors with a warm drink.

I also have a background in healthcare and interests in medical laboratory science and related fields. My faith keeps me grounded, and I try to approach life with gratitude, resilience, and authenticity.

If you’re looking for a serious relationship built on trust, faith, respect, and genuine connection, feel free to send a thoughtful introduction.

Please don’t message me if you have the tendency to block or ghost and can’t conduct a civil conversation.
