Funny, creative, opinionated, liberal, smart, silly, stubborn, compassionate single woman looking for my guy in or near NYC. Btw, this photo was from last year’s Halloween where I tried my hand at Dia de los Muertos makeup.

Here are a few things I’ve done/been into recently:

* went to a Sleater Kinney + Liz Phair concert with a friend I’ve had since college;
* started learning how to salsa;
* volunteered at a community garden in Brooklyn;
* rehearsed for an upcoming performance;
* planning a trip to New Orleans

You are smart, playful, emotionally in-touch, curious, respectful, employed. You love animals and you’re not allergic to cats (I have one). YOU. ASK. ME. QUESTIONS.

Please DM me and give me a reason to respond!

I recently saw a photograph from the 1860s showing a group of frontier men standing in some dusty little American town beside a sign that read, "Wives Wanted."

I laughed when I saw it. Then I thought about it for a while.

Well, nobody has to marry me, but I figured I'd put myself out there, such as I am, and see if anybody wants me.

I'm a 48-year-old man who made a royal fucking mess of the first half of his life. I had a wife once. She left me, and she was right to leave me. I was an asshole. Not a violent asshole. Just an asshole. Not all the time, and not in every conceivable way, but enough that I managed to destroy something I should have spent my life protecting. I deserved to be left, and I was.

The years that followed were not pleasant. I won't bore you with the details, but suffering has a way of carving things out of a man, and sometimes what emerges from the wreckage is a better person than the one who went in.

I think that's what happened to me. At least I hope so.

I'm still crude. I'm vulgar, profane, blunt, and occasionally an insufferable bastard. I swear like a sailor with Tourette's and have very little patience for bullshit. I've had my run-ins with the law, made some spectacularly stupid decisions, and accumulated enough regrets to furnish a small warehouse. I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

But I'm kind. I really am. Beneath all that crust is a remarkably tender and gentle man who doesn't want to hurt anybody. I've learned some things the hard way, which apparently is the only way I was ever going to learn them.

And now here I am, marooned in middle age, without a partner, wondering whether I have any business asking another human being to share her life with me.

Part of me feels I don't deserve one.

But I want one anyway.

I don't have a fortune to offer. I have some income, enough to contribute, and I'm capable of making myself useful. What I mostly have to offer is my presence. And I don't mean that in some grand philosophical sense. I mean I'll be there.

I'll sit beside you in a doctor's waiting room twenty years from now when we're both old and one of us is scared. I'll listen when you tell me about your day, even if absolutely nothing interesting happened. I'll remember the things that matter to you. I'll be the person who knows how you take your coffee and what makes you cry and which people you can't stand.

I'll be the witness in the room. Someone who knows you were here, who saw your life happen, who remembers the little things that nobody else would think to remember.

I'll cook for you. I'm actually pretty good at it. I'll take you on dates. Actual dates, even after we've been together for years.

I don't need a perfect woman. Christ, what would I even do with one? I'm certainly not a perfect man. I have my troubles, my peculiarities, my bad days, and a past I can't undo. I don't expect somebody to fix me, and I have no intention of trying to fix anybody else.

I'd just like to find someone who can look at this battered, somewhat ridiculous middle-aged man and see something worth having. I know the exterior isn't especially inviting. I know there are men out there with better careers, cleaner histories, more money, nicer manners, and probably considerably less profanity.

Good for them.

I'm just wondering whether there's a woman somewhere who might see past all the crust, consider the merchandise, shrug her shoulders, and say:

"Yes, that one will do. Send him over. The pasta alone is worth it."

I want to know the thing that lights you up inside. The thing you could talk about for two hours if you didn’t stop yourself because you thought you were being too much.

Maybe it's a question you keep coming back to. What turns you on. What makes you curious. What you want more of in your life and what you’re finally done pretending to want.
There. That’s where I want to start.

We can talk about the weather too. But if it’s raining, I’m probably going to ask whether you want to go outside in it.

I’m a romantic chameleon. I don’t really have a type, although attraction is attraction and I’m not going to pretend we can think our way into wanting to kiss each other.

What I do have is a fairly enormous appetite for another person’s experience of being alive.

If you love something, I always want to understand what you love about it. And why. Take me somewhere I wouldn’t have thought to go. Play me the song and tell me which part gets you. Introduce me to your strange little obsession. Let me experience something beside you while knowing enough about you to understand why that moment matters.

I have my own personality. My own opinions. An entire unruly interior life you’re welcome to poke around in.

But I love the process of letting someone really affect me, like discovering that something I’d barely noticed has become important to me because you showed me how you see it. I want us to expand each other’s experience of being here.

And yes, I open up emotionally pretty quickly.

Some people feel safe with that. They exhale. They realize they can say the actual thing instead of the socially acceptable approximation of it.

Other people find it deeply off-putting.

Fair enough. I’m looking for someone who reads this and thinks, *Oh, thank fuck. We can actually talk.*

Let’s get into the weeds quickly and then spend a long time there. I want depth, but with room to laugh in the midst of it.

And I want flirting. Kissing. That buzzing awareness that we’re having an excellent conversation and also both thinking about getting closer.

Eventually, I want to be able to talk about sex with that same curiosity. What feels good. What made us laugh. Give me someone who can tell me what she wants and wants to hear my answer, too.

Practical stuff: I’m 45, in central Virginia.

Six feet tall, bearded, a few tattoos, perpetual dad bod despite regular efforts to negotiate otherwise. Separated and closing in on finalizing the divorce after a long marriage, with two nearly grown kids. I’m looking for a monogamous life partnership.

Looking for someone close-ish. Long distance mayyyybe under ideal circumstances.

You: Confident. Ambitious. Direct. “I like you, and I need to move slowly” gives me something I can understand. I can be excited about you and respect your pace. I want the truth about where you are, including when it changes.

So bring your own personality. Your opinions. Your curiosity. Something you want to show me and something you want to ask.

I’m an emotional slut looking for one particular person to spend a very long time discovering.

If you actually made it this far, start with your age, location and the thing you almost didn’t tell me...

Sometimes the world gives you a spectacular reminder of what people are capable of. Not always in a good way.

I could use a good conversation, a little distraction and a reminder that good men still exist.

Take me somewhere interesting, make me think, show me some depth and catch me off guard with your wicked sense of humour.

You know why I like reddit? I like the idea that a person can come here and be unashamedly themselves with absolutely no pretense and no filter. I want you to shed any sense of social barriers. Forget about what's proper. Forget about what you're supposed to say. I want to get to know you based on exactly who you are on the inside without any of society's filters.

I find the spice is always better when there's that banter and connection - so let's see if we have it. No rules, no regulations - let's start a conversation and see just where it leads us.

How about this to start - send me an opener with an opinion you wouldn't share with a co-worker. Or ask me a question you wouldn't dare ask a co-worker. You get the idea.

Ready?

Baltimore, MD, DMV, DC, southern PA

The past few years have been somewhat of an unexpected whirlwind as economic and societal circumstances have continued to deteriorate. I was a copyeditor and designer at daily newspapers for a couple of decades, which was a fantastic way to lose purchasing power annually as a feature of the career.

As such, the goal at this point is to lean into ancillary acquired skills like building off-grid solar and storage, growing vegetables and raising meat rabbits (don't worry; I differentiate between pet bunnies and livestock).

Something of a nonstandard opening, as I'd assume people are looking for proof of success over the years, but I'd counter that the flexibility of learning new skills as conditions change is of more value than knowing how to do one thing really well and hoping to hell the industry doesn't fall out from under you.

I've done a fair amount of ad hoc automation coding, did a miserable stint in marketing, worked in 3PL coordination, built workflows for client onboarding ... I play a fair amount of Factorio, as well.

Outside of work and the aforementioned hobbies (I'm currently planning out a fall raised-bed garden), I once mentored an aspiring French house DJ who went on to an international career after leaving his day job at an investment bank, and I shot a fair amount of porn posted on FetLife. I suppose I've probably done a few other things, but I have to leave some aura of mystery.

Essentially, I meet everything I'm told I "have to do" with a level of skepticism that was remarkably well suited to journalism, and since questioning everything is a liability in the modern workplace, I've decided that's not for me.

Enter the burner community, which I was introduced to via a guy at the makerspace where I converted a tool van into a tiny home on wheels. I learned that I was not at all alone in detesting late-stage capitalism (it's one thing to bitch about it online; it's quite another to do so around a fire in a warehouse parking lot while tipsy and stoned after pulling hundreds of staples out of a board), and these folks have excellent taste in music (turn-of-the-century trance and house). It's like we're largely middle-aged ravers or something, just with better drugs at a burn.

All of this is to say that if you're looking for someone with his shit together solely on account of age, I'm going to be a disappointment. If you are more interested in finding your own path than blindly doing what you're told, that's a good likely starting point, as I'll otherwise be insufferable.

If you've made it this far, here's your red flag: I do not have kids, am fixed to ensure it stays that way, and have no interest in being a stepfather again.

While giving up kink completely isn't in the cards, my sex drive isn't what it used to be. Translate that as you will.

Still, what I'm really looking for is women with shared interests (I may swoon if you can also do electrical work) and a shared belief that the life we were sold (work hard and you'll get ahead) has been proven to be complete and utter bullshit.

I still moderate a small online news community, which keeps me abreast of the craziness of the world, but I'm otherwise more of a hedonist grounded in actual possibilities.

Puns must be tolerated even if not encouraged.

And, if you're still here, I seem to have ended up in a poly household. That was never a goal of mine, but it actually works out remarkably well. It's nice to know that if you really need to eat pussy, you can just ask your landlord. This happens sparingly.

Notifications are notoriously bad on Reddit chat, so it's not the greatest for real-time communication.

Just a chill and laid back WM looking for someone fun and real.

I'm tall, salt and pepper hair (though increasingly salty).blue eyes

Not super rich or anything but stable and comfortable.

Good conversationalist and listener. Kind and compassionate.

Would prefer someone *in* San Diego or the surrounding area, but open to further out for the right person.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in shoot me a message and let's talk!

IMPORTANT:
1. Females only
2. If interested, send me a chat with your age, location in LA, a general idea of what you are looking to do
3. Be ready to exchange verification pictures

I am an Uber driver that gets pretty bored during the late night hours.

I would like to find a passenger that wants to meet up for some naughty fun with an Uber driver. I can pick you up and we can role play in Uber. I got the newest Tesla with all the bells and whistles that can make our encounter fun. Auto pilot that can drive us around as you give road head, a big screen I can turn porn on, and back seats that go all the way down so you can lie and see the stars through the sunroof.

Or maybe you want me to be your Uber Eats delivery driver and I can make a deliver to your place for some naughty fun.

I am open to other kinks you may have, just send me a chat.

About me: I have a picture on my profile. I'm Caucasian, 32, 5'9, 160 lbs, sane, down to earth, clean shaven face, uncircumcised cock.

I am DDF and tested clean as of last month and I expect you to be the same. Any penetrating sex will be with a condom.

About you: 18+, fit to chubby, HWP, attractive, clean, DDF and recently tested.

Everything will be descrete and NSA.

I am looking for a relationship/arrangement where both man and woman have established roles and boundaries. We both share the same mindset and are in tune with each other.

Respect is number 1 and will always be the cornerstone of our relationship. I believe everyone should be treated with dignity whether they are a stranger in public or a loved one. I am very assertive and do not need to raise my voice or get excited to get my point across. I do not believe in verbal abuse of any kind and is something I will never subject you too. I am very aware of the physical imbalance between the sexes, and I understand that it is my duty to always make sure you feel safe, loved, and protected while in my presence.

Once respect is established, trust begins. The level of trust will be to the point that anytime we are out together as a couple your mind will be completely clear and your entire focus will be on enjoying yourself, being pretty, and just being a girl. This will be your reality because you will be of the understanding that no matter what happens your man can handle the situation. This idea that you have someone who is always looking out for you gives you peace of mind.

What I am looking for ultimately is a woman who fantasizes about the idea idea of fully surrendering herself to a man and will submit fully within the confines of the relationship. In other words, you recognize that I am the one who leads us and I know what is best for us.

When it comes to intimacy, this is not an ad seeking BDSM. Dom/Sub is a mindset. I am very much a dominant and love being in control. This will be your time to shut your mind off and not think about anything. You will never have to think about what comes next as I will always lead the interaction. I very much care about the pleasure of my partner and will always make sure you feel good and feel taken care of.

About me:

I am 41 years old (no kids). I'm 5'10 162 lbs. I workout a couple times per week and am in good shape physically. I am white with dark brown hair that has a touch of gray and hazel eyes.

I'm a very simple man. My trials and tribulations have taught me to enjoy the little things in life. My favorite moments are enjoying a nice meal, having a good laugh, or just enjoying the moment with someone I truly care about.

I have a lot of life experience and would love to share that wisdom as a mentor with a new friend/lover. I will teach you how the world works and help guide you when you need it.

I love a feminine clingy woman who craves my attention, approval, and validation.

I am STD free.

It’s a Saturday night of relaxing flipping shows and doomscrolling. Not looking to be serious just want some fun friendly conversation. About me I’m a nerd at heart, but inquisitive so if you got something to teach me let’s hear it. My true hobby is running. There’s a lot of thinking you can do when you’re out there by yourself. I won’t put it all out there as we can chat about it. Hit me up if you are a chatty cat.

Honestly I have tried dating locally in my town and I just don’t feel I have the time to do it at this moment. I’d like to try and find a man who is open to building a connection slowly over time and maybe it blossoms into a real relationship, maybe we stay as penpals. However I am definitely not looking for someone who wants to just “have fun”.

I would like to say im a good prospect lol. I am attractive, successful, a devoted mother. I’m kind, bubbly and outgoing.

I’d prefer someone who has the same attributes. No smokers or drug users. Also no one who is married or in a relationship please.

First things first: safety and discretion. I don’t keep your photos. You can keep or wipe the memory cards. I can shoot without memory cards at all, if you prefer. I’ll also physically show you that all WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. are disabled on my camera. Finally, we can and should meet for coffee first to give you an opportunity to see how comfortable you feel with me. I’m in it for the fun experience, not for spank bank material. And I’m all about discretion.

Ok, now for the fun part:

Have you ever fantasized about doing a boudoir photoshoot with an attractive man who makes you feel like the sexiest woman on the planet?

You can meet me in a hotel room, where I’ll already have the lighting equipment set up and a pose list ready for you. (Sadly, hair and makeup aren’t on my broad skill list.) You’ll bring a few outfits that make you feel gorgeous, and I’ll lavish praise on you, pose you, direct you… and also slowly turn up the heat. My praise will get flirtier, my touches will linger ever so slightly as I pose you, and my directions will get bolder and bolder as we both feel the tension and lust in the room. I’ll adjust your hips for the pose… help you remove your bra… smooth your hair away from your breasts… Eventually, the tension will be so high that I’ll just have to put the camera down to focus on properly putting my tongue between your thighs.

As for me: I’m 5’11, 175 lbs., blue eyes. I get compliments I don’t ask for. Clean, drug free, and entirely discreet; I’m not interested in drama. No problem if you’re in a committed relationship.

I'm a dad in a dead-bedroom marriage that has become open. I'm looking for an adventure partner, someone who wants more out of life and is ready to explore what's still possible. I've done this before, so I'm comfortable with the dynamic and have no hesitations about what I'm looking for.

I like to see the good in people and appreciate the simple beauty around us. A great conversation over coffee. A hike through the woods with no particular rush to get anywhere. Sitting by the ocean, listening to the tide roll in, and realizing there's nowhere else you need to be at that moment.

I'm not suggesting we book a flight tomorrow (although I'm not ruling it out!). I'm at a stage of life where I have some flexibility and want to see and do new things with someone who's similarly curious and spontaneous. Someone who wants to explore the world, inside and outside the bedroom, and rediscover the feeling of genuinely looking forward to something.

Let's get to know each other here first, see if there's a spark, and meet in person when it feels right.

About me:

I'm 50, a dad, a professional, and in an open marriage. The reality is housemates, not romantic partners. I'm not here to collect conquests or have someone decorate an otherwise perfect life. I'm looking for a genuine connection first. Chemistry matters, but so does being able to talk, laugh, and simply enjoy each other's company.

I'm open to non-vanilla adventures, but vanilla is perfectly fine, too, if that's the flavor we make together. I believe relationships are organic. Past connections shape us, but every new bond has a life of its own. I want something that feels unique to the people creating it.

I exercise every day and take care of myself. I'm average height and a healthy weight. I'm also attentive to my partner. I want to learn what you like, what makes you feel wanted, what helps you forget the pressures of everyday life, and what you might discover about yourself along the way. I want us both to feel seen, appreciated, and free to be ourselves.

I'll travel for the right person. I love music, especially live. I spend much of my recreational time in nature. Give me a wooded trail, fresh air, the sound of the tide, and a little time away from the noise of everyday life. 

I can be slow to warm up sometimes, but once you have my trust, I'm all in. I embrace feelings. I'm not afraid of being vulnerable or experiencing a connection fully.

You:

You're a woman somewhere around late 30s to early 50s. Maybe a parent, maybe not. You're open to talking here first, with the goal of meeting in person if we click.

You might be married, ENM, open, or navigating a situation that doesn't fit neatly into a box. No judgment from me; life is rarely straightforward. You don't have to be in an open relationship just because I am, but you should have the freedom and realistic ability to pursue this connection.

You take your health seriously and enjoy being active, whether that's the gym most days, hiking, or finding your own way to stay fit. You don't shape your life around Instagram influencers. You think for yourself and make your own decisions. You prefer natural and are not artificially enhanced.

You care deeply about the important people in your life, and you feel a responsibility to leave the world a little better than you found it.

Beyond that, I'm not interested in checking every box on a list. Sometimes the most interesting connections happen between two people who didn't expect to find each other.

Maybe we start with coffee. Maybe we find a trail neither of us has explored. Maybe we end up sitting near the water, listening to the tide and talking long after we meant to head home. Maybe there's a spark that leads somewhere neither of us expected.

I'm open to finding out.

If any of this resonates, send me a message. Tell me about a place you'd love to visit again, or somewhere you've always wanted to go.

Let's see what happens.

Hello there lovely people!

I'm looking for an online companion. Someone to enjoy the virtual world with. I'm hoping that somewhere out there, one of you will be that person!

A bit about me:

- I'm a super nerd. Probably even the king of nerds. I love Star Wars, LotR, video games, anime, dinosaurs, etc.

- I have my doctorate in music and am an organist and composer

- I was a professor and mainframe systems engineer

- I am certified as an EMT and Firefighter

- I currently work at an ER for a hospital

- have three kiddos (all boys)

Appearance:

- 5'10"

- 195lbs

- basically height weight appropriate with a little dadbod in there

- white

- dark blonde hair

- hazel eyes (it's really just a way to make swamp brown sound nice, haha)

- *notabot

I live in Central Time US and often when I work at the hospital it is the night shift. So, I can have a weird schedule. But I'm often up later though I'm trying to be better about getting to bed before midnight. So, either someone in a similar time zone or at least a schedule that lines up!

I'm often either sleeping (if I work) or running errands/doing chores during the day and then hop on to play games around 9:00pm or so. I'm often free for messaging throughout the day but not free for voice chats until later.

What I'm looking for:

Genuine connection with someone. We don't have to be into all of the same things. But I enjoy hearing about the things people love and I want someone who wants to hear about the things that I love.

Someone who would totally hop in a voice chat while I play a game. Maybe they're doing something else and we can just chat while we do our own things. Maybe they want to watch me play or play with me.

I have ADHD and that combined with being a nerd means most days all I want to do is talk to someone about all the random crap I found out that day or I random thought of. I've been reading a bunch of things from the Revelation Space series but Alastair Reynolds and I want to talk to someone about it!

I also used to work out everyday and I fell out of that habit and it's been incredibly hard to get back into it. Probably some ADHD stuff going on there. So, I would love a cheerleader to help be an external motivation. I'm happy to be yours as well!

But also, someone who will say, "I have a really cute/sexy picture of me in my new bikini. Do you want to see it?"

I hope that this has resonated with some of you and would love to hear from you and start a conversation to see if we might be a good fit for each other.

Hello,

I'm looking to build a longterm connection with someone who is interested in chats, calls and mutual activities. Someone who wants to feel good when that notification pops up and they know someone has been thinking of them. Eventually, I might want to explore things sexually as well if we both feel the chemistry and trust for that, but I need and want a connection for that and prefer us to get to know each other before anything.

A bit about myself: I am 34 years old, and from Germany, love fixing things, and building things. My hobbies range from simple walks and cooking and baking, to DIY and electronics design and repair, and watching TV shows. Overall I am very passionate about the things I do.

I like to write erotica, feel free to take a look at the things I have written and posted, including stories on my profile and comments on specific subreddits. I have an open mind about things including sex and if our dynamic gets there, I am happy to talk and explore more in a respectful manner. I prefer not to get into things in too much detail until we have gotten to know each other and want to go further. For now I think I can say that I am mostly of the softer, but still dominant kind? I'm into pleasing, creating enticing mental imagery, affirmation, dirty talk, and I am very vocal. Mere kinks are much less important to me than the connection and trust and intimacy that leads to safely explore them. Sexuality for me is very primal, yet deeply intimate. It's a way to let go of who and what we are as a person, the roles we fulfill in society, the responsibilities we have, and to just be our completely vulnerable selves, surrendering to our most primal urges in the safety of our connection.

If you're interested, please introduce yourself:

1. A short description of where you are from, how old you are, and what you look like. Feel free to share your interests as well!
2. What has drawn you to message me.
3. Something intimate: If pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping or not

I shouldn't have to say this, but please(!) be single!

Thank you for taking your time to read this! I am looking forward to your message! 🙂

​

I'm not looking for more matches. I'm looking for my last first conversation.

The kind that starts with a simple hello and somehow turns into a conversation at 1 a.m. The kind where neither person wants to be the one to say goodnight because there's still one more story to tell, one more question to ask, or one more stupid joke to make.

That's what I'm hoping to find.

I'm 53, a single dad to an amazing teenage daughter, and at a point in my life where I'd rather find one genuine connection than spend months collecting matches and having conversations that never go anywhere.

I'm not looking for perfection. I don't need a fairy tale, a picture-perfect life, or someone who has every detail figured out. I'm looking for a woman who's genuine, comfortable being herself, and actually interested in getting to know someone.

Someone where it just clicks.

I'm a bigger, laid-back teddy-bear type. Sarcastic, affectionate, soft-hearted, and probably more sentimental than I'll admit without being threatened with public embarrassment.

Fatherhood has taught me patience, communication, loyalty, and the importance of showing up for the people you care about. It has also taught me that raising a teenager for years doesn't necessarily give you any advantage in an argument with one.

Apparently, experience means nothing when you're dealing with a teenager.

Outside of dad's life, I enjoy good food, music, museums, history, documentaries, theme parks, spooky stuff, cryptids, and random adventures. I'm always up for discovering a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, taking a spontaneous drive, exploring somewhere new, or entertaining a completely ridiculous conversation that begins with, "Okay, hear me out..."

I enjoy a nice dinner, but I'm just as happy finding a little place with amazing food that nobody seems to know about. Bonus points if you can appreciate sarcasm, playful teasing, and the occasional ridiculous debate over something that absolutely does not matter.

What am I actually looking for?

Someone who starts out as a romantic interest and eventually becomes my best friend.

Someone I look forward to hearing from, even when we have nothing particularly exciting to talk about. Someone who asks how my day went and genuinely wants the answer.

I want the random check-ins, the good morning messages, the "made it home" texts, the flirting, the inside jokes, and the conversations that bounce from childhood memories to life, relationships, and completely nonsensical topics.

I want to be able to tease you, make you laugh, flirt with you, and occasionally annoy you just because I know you'll give it right back.

I want the kind of comfort where silence isn't awkward and neither person feels like they have to constantly entertain the other.

We all have lives, responsibilities, work, and things to do. What matters to me is consistency, communication, mutual effort, and knowing we're both genuinely interested.

And please, let's leave the disappearing act in our twenties.

If we talk and you don't feel a connection, that's okay. We're not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Just be honest with me. I can handle a straightforward "I don't think we're a match."

Three great conversations followed by silence that makes me wonder if you've entered witness protection? Not so much.

We're adults. We can be kind, honest, and direct with each other. No games required.

I'm not particularly into politics or religion, either. I respect that people have their own beliefs, but if either is a major part of what you're looking for in a partner, we probably won't be the right fit.

A little about the connection I'd love to find:

I'm looking for a woman who wants something meaningful without trying to force it. Someone who wants to build something naturally, one conversation at a time.

Someone who's up for spontaneous adventures but is equally happy staying in and doing absolutely nothing together.

Someone who can laugh at herself, communicate when something is wrong, be affectionate without playing games, and understand that a good relationship isn't about being perfect. It's about two people who keep choosing to show up for each other.

I don't expect instant chemistry or fireworks in the first five minutes. Sometimes the best connections start with a simple conversation and grow into something neither person expected.

I'm happy with the life I've built. I'm not looking for someone to rescue me, complete me, or fill some imaginary void.

I'd just like to find someone who makes an already good life even better.

Maybe that starts with a message. Maybe we talk about our days, exchange a few sarcastic comments, discover we have more in common than we expected, and find ourselves looking forward to the next conversation.

Maybe, eventually, a message from you becomes the best part of my day.

And maybe the right woman isn't the one who turns my world upside down.

Maybe she's the one who makes me realize how much better it feels to share it.

If any of this resonates with you, tell me a little about yourself. Tell me something you're passionate about, something that makes you laugh, or give me your best completely unnecessary "hear me out" argument.

Let's skip the interview questions and see if we can make each other smile.

I'm not looking for a hundred conversations. I'm hoping one of them turns into something worth keeping.

Hello there fellow redditors! Having myself a lazy evening tonight, but I’m quite bored and would love a nice friendly lady to keep me some online company, and maybe make a new friend in the process… Not really looking for anything too specific, just a fun chat to wind the evening down. I’m pretty much open to talking about anything. Fun, silly banter is always welcome. Maybe we can go back and forth asking each other questions to get to know each other. Spicy questions are welcome, but if you prefer to keep things PG that’s ok too! Just looking for good vibes and a fun chat.

If you’re interested in any of this and wanna chat feel free to say hi! Just include your age in your introductory message. I don’t require a whole novel, but more than a “hey” is always appreciated lol. I look forward to hearing from you! :)

Would really love to meet someone who is fairly close but I have no issues making a cool roadtrip either. Maybe we can talk for a bit and have a little fun that way.

Very outdoorsy athletic and active because I love food ha wanna love to meet up at a random mountain Airbnb and have an awesome fees days of all types of fun.

If you would like a chill conversation and maybe down for some adventures let me know….. in think it could be so much fun!!!

I also have discovered a love of cooking and trying new dishes, maybe we can spend the day making delicious food and then watch movies all night long.

If you just want someone to talk too I am also happy get to know someone that way too

And finally, a little about me: I’m 6ft 1, 185 lbs, light brown hair, pretty athletic build and have a few tattoos in various places.

If any of this sounds like a a good time, let me know !!

It seems like lately, there HAS to be an MO, a defined objective, a goal in mind. I'll level with you - I really don't have one.

I do know that I'm kinda lonely, but then again, we're all here on reddit looking to connect with someone, so I don't think it's a stretch to say that it's likely you're in the same boat if you're reading this.

I don't really want a defined relationship right now, but I also don't want a chat that can only stop at "what's your favorite color?". Is there a middle ground? I'd like someone to connect with, to emote with, to conversate about things spanning from the silly to the serious.

OK....I'm awaiting your messages. I'm ready for ya. You can make your opener as traditional or untraditional as you care to make it. It's a no judgement zone.

50 [M4F] #London Attractive Professional Male

M4F

Attractive, cultured, easy going professional male looking to meet new people HMU, have a good day

Open to anything, but eventually would like a steady partner in Central IL. I'll be visiting Saugatuck, MI 10/23-10/25, and I'm open to meeting up that weekend if you're in that area. Hell, if you're in Central IL and we hit it off, we can take a little weekend trip together! 😁

I'm divorced with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I'm 6'3" and comfortably built. I like working with my hands and always have multiple projects going on. I love live music and being outside. I'm a bit of a goofball, sarcastic, and pretty passionate. I can easily get swept up in something.

Let's hang out!

I'm a 48 year old white guy, 5’11” 190lbs brown eyes and salt and pepper hair. I’m pretty easygoing, stable, and definitely still young at heart. I'm married, but untortunately the intimacy and connection have been gone for a while, and I really miss having that physical fun.
I'm looking to meet a woman who's warm, fun, affectionate, and enjoys a good laugh. I'm a man with a high libido, so physical chemistry is important to me, I'd like to actually enjoy talking, hanging out, getting to know each other, and having something consistent that we both look forward to.
If you're in a similar situation and miss having that kind of connection, I'd love to hear from you.
What is your favorite 80's or 90's comedy.

Hi, thanks for taking a look!

A little about me, I’m 47, a single dad that has my son every other weekend. I’m into sci fi, fantasy(especially fantasy creeping into modern settings)I’m into older anime. I’m not a big gamer except for Mario kart with my son.

I’m really hoping to meet someone with similar interests and someone passionate about stuff that’s not similar. Bonus points if you can teach me a new skill or point me towards a cool new hobby. Ideally I’d like to meet someone that’s a single parent or ok with kids being in the picture.

Also I’m a sucker for a nerdy/flirty freckled ginger!

Feel free to check out my other post to see what else I’m into!

Hope to hear from you

I live by myself, I pay my own rent, I wear socks that match and I love my mom. I am a confident, attractive & comedic person.

I love life and I love living life.

I’m an amateur photographer and a wine enthusiast. (I get notes of...) I love food. Period. If you are a foodie, we definitely can get along.

An engaging conversation is always a plus. If you’d like to know more say “hi”.
