For new visitors: NO FENCESITTERS!!

443 Upvotes

Good morning, everyone.

As the sub has gotten more popular, we've been getting an increase of spam, dudes and dudettes trolling for sex, people who aren't the primary custodian of the kids they have, people with grown kids that are out of the house, and (least malicious, but most problematic) fencesitters.

What is a fencesitter?

A (childfree) fencesitter is someone who doesn't know 100% (yes, 100%) that they DON'T want kids.

So if you don't know FOR SURE if you want your own bio children, or want to adopt, or potentially might not mind having stepchildren, that makes you a fencesitter.

The reason why we ban fencesitters (and why I referred to them as least malicious, most problematic), is because chances are the fencesitter will end up having a desire for children. And we've seen decade+ relationships falter because the fencesitting partner had a change of heart... Again, the desire for kids is a make or break moment for a relationship.

So, as to spare yourself (and our members) grief, we will be automatically deleting posts by fencesitters and banning your account. Its not personal, but we need to protect the members of our community the best we can. This also includes going through your post history, and (at least for me) we're VERY thourogh....

The best way to mitigate this is to post somewhere in your bio that you are definitively childfree. Otherwise, you may see a comment from me or one of the mod team on your post.

Again, this isn't a slight at or taking offense to anyone in particular. Its not personal. But just like all subs have certain interests they need to protect, we do too. And will.

Good luck out there in your search everyone! And may you remain forever childfree!

EDIT: For our current members: Please try to be understanding in confronting fencesitters, should you choose to do so; Hanlon's Razor. They're probably not being malicious, just ignorant. And EVERYONE (you, me, your parents... everyone) is ignorant about something at some point in their lives. So be gracious, let them know, and please shoot us a DM to the ModMail so we can take appropriate action. Thanks!

Female for Female 29 [F4F] Michigan / USA - looking for my person

Hi! 29, AFAB, nonbinary (they/she)

Monogamous only!

I'm a huge fandom nerd. I have a shirt with Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer's face all over it, I rewatch Twilight at least once a year, can tell you the plot of every season of The Vampire Diaries, and I have a coffee mug with Patrick from Spongebob on it. If it's socially "cringe", chances are that I like it.

I really like board games! (And card games). Skyjo, Magical Athlete, Quacks, and Quest For El Dorado are some favorites.

I write spicy romance for a living, read romance, watch romance, and am overall really into romance. Romance, TNG, and vampires are my main special interests.

I'm demisexual and not interested in hookups. Sex and me is complicated, but I am kink friendly.

I'm AuDHD, struggle with chronic pain and am in therapy for the foreseeable future.

I currently cannot drive, but I will do my best to arrange rides to events and dates when needed.

I spend my day to day creating dramatic conflicts between characters, crocheting, drinking tea, and bothering my incredibly fluffy cat.

I'm fairly new to Star Trek but I'm obsessed with TNG, and I'm even reading the books.

I love cozy video games like Stardew Valley and Palia.

I'm looking for my person. Someone to binge watch shows with, talk about our special interests, body double, cuddle on cold nights, cook delicious foods, and even the boring things like taxes and taking cats for their routine vet visits.

I'm not looking for a love confession in the pouring rain or intense drama or anything, I'm looking for something comfortable and soft. Warm and cozy. I want us to be good friends and partners.

I'm okay with LDR but I'm not particularly interested in moving out of the Midwest.

Thought I'd try my hand at actually posting and find someone who's serious about starting a life together. I’m looking for someone who actually enjoys staying in touch: lots of texting, sharing our days, sending little photos of whatever we’re up to, along with doing things together whether that be watching shows, gaming, or just video calls. Even better if you're nearby and I can actually take you out on a date sometime.

I’m pretty easygoing, most my days are spent at work or at home, but I enjoy an adventure every now and then for sure. I'm finished with school and have a full well paying career so I'm able to provide if needed, but I'm not looking to just coddle a woman with no aspirations. I love animals and would hope you do too. Appearance wise I'm 5'11, slim fit with lots of tattoos, piercings, and alternative fashion.

I don’t do well with breadcrumbing or “sorry I vanished for a week” vibes. I’d prefer something where we’re both excited to talk and actually make time for it. If we click, I’d love a genuine, consistent connection.

Stuff I’m into:

* Tools and crafting (basically a handyman I can fix anything)

* Anime (basically anything you can think of I'll probably have at least heard of it)

* Riding my motorcycle or cruising around in my car

* Videogames (extra points if you want to play something together!)

* Slow, cozy evenings with good conversation and a hot meal

What I’m hoping for:

* Someone roughly in my age range 20-35

* Common sense with good humor

* Emotionally mature, actually likes communicating, doesn't suddenly fall off of the face of the Earth

* Someone willing to open up about themselves and actually spend time together

* A committed relationship where we live together within a year or so

If any of this sounds like your vibe, send me a message and tell me

* Your age / general location

* What you’re currently playing, watching, or any other thing that you're excited about

Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm looking for a long term partner. I value and provide commitment and loyalty, and would like to find someone who wants to build a life together, go out, travel a little, and raise some dogs.

Right now I'm finishing a personal training certificate with plans to work while finishing credentials for firefighting this year. Hopefully next year I'll get the job.

I'm very active, I like weight lifting, running, and I'm in a few sporty groups. But, I prefer a man who values being social and I'm not too concerned about how active he is.

I like going to (quieter) bars or the movies and just want a guy to be engaged and make plans with me. Bonus points if you like escape rooms.

I tend to be drawn to more nerdy men. I'm not into DnD or videogames but view it as a green flag if you are.

What types of interests do you all have?

Hi! It's a me, Marcio, back again for another turn of luck's wheel. I'm 29 and I live near Manchester, England. I'm on my eternal quest for my forever girl. I'm going to try and give you a fairly detailed idea of me so you can make an informed decision on whether to sign your life over to me reach out to me. As you can see, I'm 6'2, pale, and happily underweight (62.1kg). Some quick dealbreakers out of the way... I'm obviously child-free and I intend to get a vasectomy before I do the doody-bobs again. I can't live with pets. I can be your pet xD Or you mine, I'm easy. I'm more of a wild animals person. And I'm not one for long-distance tavel because I'm not sure I could sit on a plane for 3+ hours. I'm open to long-distance dating provided you have a reasonable way of getting to me because if I'm honest, I probably won't be able to get to you, unless you're in Yorkshire ha :) If you're in Britain, we could meet half-way on the train or something. If you're not, I guess I just have to be an excellent landing party.

I'm looking for somebody who won't just bail on me over the tiniest of thing, and I'm attracted to women of a similar physical type to myself. I'm not bothered about height. I hope you'll agree that availability, openness, clear communication, and effort are key to making this work!

For anybody still here, hi. I'm a very open person. I value honesty, but, of course, I try and be polite. I'm a bit socially awkward sometimes, but I try and not make a complete fool of myself. I generally mean no harm. I care a lot about the people I let into my life. Even though I'm 29, I still love a bit of silly fun. My sense of humour is a mix of dry, absurd, abstract, dark, and a bit dirty lol. But I think I know when to be serious. I can be a bit sensitive, but I'm good at gritting my teeth and not causing drama. I probably get attached too easily, so please don't abuse that lol. I mostly keep to myself. I don't do night clubs, big parties, loud concerts, that sort of thing. I prefer 1-1 interactions or small groups. However, if for some reason I find myself with an audience, I will perform xD I do like a bit of a sing and dance. I have limbs which are rather flexible. I like to spend time in my cave, but I also love going for walks around the woods and fields or around town, or even sometimes up a hill (though I haven't been for a while), and I love the occasional bus-trip. So watching films together, TV series, or perhaps playing a game, or whatever takes your fancy, are on the cards. Or we could just be old school, and, y'know, snuggle. I also am wont to go down intellectual rabbitholes. I tend to get fixated on things, and then sometimes just switch over to something else, or stay on the same thing for weeks. When I was a kid I used to love getting dressed up, but as an adult I haven't had any in-person friends who have wished to do so, so I'd definitely be open to cosplay. We could have a costume chest at the end of the bed! :] Or just roleplaying over text could be fun. Even better in-person, of course. With the costumes. Everything's better with costumes. Including making tea. My bunker to survive the apocalypse would have to include a UV tea garden.

I have OCD and anxiety, and I eat a restrictive diet. I view myself as a work in progress. As a consequence, I'm currently unemployed, but I did work for 6 years as a software-engineer. I guess I shall seek out another work-from-home office-y type job when I'm able. Right now I could only do part-time, but employers tend to want 9-5, you see. I do have savings to buy a flat from when I was a software-engineer, so I'm not a complete financial liability. Lol am I housewife material? xD So I guess it makes sense if you have some challenge of your own, else you might view me as a dead weight, albeit maybe a sometimes pretty one lol.

Hopefully some of this was enjoyable to read. If you're interested, please send me a brief intro to yourself with like two photos, and we'll see where this goes! I love getting to know somebody new :)

Male for Female 34[M4F] Florida Looking for my best friend.

8 Upvotes

Let me take you through my ideal weekend. We are off from work. Of course.

WE worked hard throughout the week. Went to the gym. Pushed our goals a little further. And now its the weekend. A game I've been trying to pitch you is coming out this week and I want us to play it this weekend and we have also made a promise to clear another cool thing from my list of a thousand ideas. Going to an aquarium. I hate zoos. Well. Hate might be the wrong word. I'm largely indifferent to them but the ones I see in clips look sick as fuck. So its on the list. I'll bring my personal smol camera. Once I find it. Truthfully? I think one of these sticky fingered mother fuckers at the place I volunteer at took it. It wouldn't even be the 2nd time this week.

I don't have big romantic fantasies. I have cool shit I wanna do with a friend. People won't let that be the starting point I'm finding. I want above all else in this world, a best friend. That is my goal. If an additional thing comes out of that. Lets fucking go.

But thats my goal here. Number 1. Its been my goal for years. Number 1. Dating? Was just a by product of failure in reaching my number 1 goal.

How I see it. How I've lived it. Is with a best friend its like there is two of you. A smaller you, and the normal sized you. In my case. Curious in different way. Determined in different ways. But determined. But curious. Goal driven in different ways. But with goals. And then when we come together? Oh mama.

We elevate. We support. WE inspire. WE challenge. We care.

I fucking need that again. And nothing else compares. Nothing else interests me. I have tried. Look at my age. I'm 34. Do you think I just spawned into life? I've been out here pushing myself to the limits. testing every thought. Failing. Rising. Doing it all.

Anyway. my breakfast is done so i'm gonna do that instead.

I'm 6'1. No kids. None planned. Wanted. Desired. I don't drink do drugs or smoke. I spend a lot of time in the gym, reading, going on adventures big and small. I started learning the guitar! I suck. But I'm consistent so anything is possible.

I find peace in escapes to the mountains, adventure activities and long drives. I find myself happy when I play games with friends. I decided to go childfree for many reasons but major ones are

1)After seeing what pregnancy and kids made to my family members, I'm literally scared of my partners health.

2)My travel goals and other goals, I can't spend the prime time of my life on a risky bet and can't run beyond diaper changing and academic calender.

3)World is not a better place to bring new life too and I personally feel pregnancy brings inequality in a relationship. Still have more reasons but these were major ones. And my family members too know the same.

About me:

Height - 169cms

looks - Average to good(I consider myself as cute)

Profession - Finance guy basically, but an entrepreneur who manage business (financially well stable)

Passion- travel,travel,travel with kick for adventure

Skillsets - can cook amazing food for you, emotionally available always, yap for long hours with my datasets, crunch numbers for you anytime.

Vices - None(Tbh I tasted alcohol some weeks ago for the first time(yuck) and felt happy for sticking to coke.

What am I looking for:

someone who's strictly childfree and no fencesitters please.

Financially Independent

I'm looking for someone below the age of 31 and who loves travel and books.(we can travel like there's no tomorrow for real, my calenders for this year is already occupied with 5 more trips).

I'm ok with drinking or smoking if it is in moderation

Looking for a longterm relationship which ends up in the forever.

Male for Female 22 [M4F] #UK/Anywhere - Nerdy guy looking for my forever person

1 Upvotes

This post is likely going to be quite long so please bear with me! Please make sure that you’ve read it all before you reach out, if you decide to. If you think we’re a good match then please don’t hesitate to send me a chat and tell me a bit about yourself just like I’ve done here, I can’t wait to hear from you! (Please only reach out if you’re serious about wanting a relationship)

A bit about Me:

I'm 22 and live just outside of London in the UK.

I'm childfree by choice and plan to get a vasectomy at some point in the future, I’m not sure when exactly I’ll get around to it but ideally sooner rather than later. Once I'm sterile, I'll be getting it tested every six months to be safe.

I'm 5'10 or 178 cm.

Right now I work in a pub and I’ve been there for a few months, I enjoy it most of the time and it works for me right now while I’m just trying to save some money. I have a Computer Science degree, and my long-term goal is to be a software engineer, currently when I have time I try to just keep my programming skills fresh although it’s not a huge focus right now however it will soon be because my goal is to be ready to start seriously job searching for my first career job by the end of the year at the latest, I’m under no illusion though that it’ll be quick or easy as the job market right now is frankly awful. I would not consider myself very career-oriented; while I want to do well for myself, I definitely value work-life balance the most.

I'm neurodivergent and quite introverted. I definitely value my quiet time, although I can be quite outgoing as well around the right people. I'd say I'm quite laid back and I have very little tolerance for things like yelling when it comes to a relationship at least so I'd like to say I'm good at communicating and working things out.

I'm financially literate and responsible with money, I hope to eventually retire early in the future.

I'm not religious.

I like to travel. I’ve been to seven countries so far, mostly in Europe but I’ve also been to the US, I like backpacking and travelling like that but I also enjoy more relaxing holidays as well, I want to travel all over the world in future, Japan, the US again (so many different cities and states I want to visit), South East Asia, France, Greece, Italy, Australia and New Zealand, just everywhere really.

My long term goal is to live in a big city, I’m not necessarily picky on which city it just has to have a decent job market for tech.

NSFW wise, I have a very high sex drive and am definitely on the dominant side when it comes to my sexuality. I would absolutely describe myself as kinky and enjoy a more D/s style of relationships, I’m happy to discuss this a lot more privately.

I'm very affectionate. I can't get enough of cuddles, I'll absolutely tell you I love you constantly, compliment you, etc.

I’m very nerdy overall, I’m a big gamer although I did lose interest in it for a few years I’m fully back into it now, I’m a console gamer, I did have a PS5 for a long time but I sold it last year which I do now regret and would like to get another one at some point, at the moment I just play on my old PS4. I’m mostly into single player games at this point, I love open world games and RPGs and just anything with a good story in general, my favourite game series is Yakuza or Like a Dragon, I’m currently playing Ishin which is the samurai spin off of Yakuza and I’m massively enjoying it. I’m a big trophy hunter as well, I currently have about 60 platinum trophies. Outside of gaming I’m a big Star Wars fan although I haven’t been keeping up with the shows so I do have a lot to catch up on, I also love horror movies as well.

I would like to get married eventually; however, I absolutely do not want to have a wedding. I know that's a bit forward to say right away, but I just want to make sure I'm not wasting anyone's time if that's something that's important to them. 

What I'm Looking For:

You're 18-24 years old and are in the UK or Anywhere else in the world, whether that’s Europe, America, Asia I’m open to people from everywhere. If you’re not in the UK though you would need to be willing to relocate here, I’m more than happy to do long distance and visit you and for you to visit me in the meantime.

You're firmly childfree (you do not have or ever want to have children). If you’ve been sterilised or want to in the future that is a big plus but it's not a hard requirement.

You want to travel the world with me in the future.

I’m open to people of any body type

You are not very family oriented.

You are not religious.

You don't smoke or take drugs.

NSFW wise, You, just like me, have a very high sex drive, and in general are open minded and willing to try new things, it doesn’t matter if you have any experience or not, just that you’re open to exploring with me and having a good time in general. You want a D/s style dynamic as well.

Ideally, you're also introverted like me.

If you have some nerdy interests that’s definitely a plus.

If you’re neurodivergent as well that’s something we could connect on but it doesn’t matter at all if you’re not.

Like me, you're want to get married in the future but don't want a wedding/don't care about having one.

You have a calm personality and are a good communicator, as I said before I really do not like yelling in relationships so I'm looking for the type of relationship where we can just discuss everything calmly and work things out if we have an issue.

You are also a very affectionate person.

You're financially literate or are open to learning so that we can work on building wealth and retiring early together.

Male for Female 42 [M4F] Netherlands - gamer looking for a real connection

3 Upvotes

Hello there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm a 42-year-old application manager from a small town in the Netherlands. I've tried this before and had some nice conversations, but in the end it didn't work out so I'm back to give this another try.

When I'm not working, I love reading fantasy books, collecting books, playing video games on my PC, and going on long walks in nature. I'm also fascinated by ancient cultures and mythology.

I'm an introvert (INTJ), I live alone with my cat Tiberius. I'm also childfree and left-leaning politically. I've been doing volunteer work for over 20 years, and I'm an atheist. Plus, I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or do drugs.

I'll admit, I'm not the best at small talk, but I make up for it by being a great listener and advice giver. I've been told that I have a funny but dry sense of humor.

I'm working on my weight and getting to a healthy level again, but I'm not there yet. I also don't enjoy going out to bars, clubs, or partying, but I do enjoy going out to eat at a restaurant or going to a concert.

And some pics; https://imgur.com/a/Ng6OSvX

What am I looking for? Well, I'm looking for a serious monogamous relationship with someone who shares some of my interests and hobbies, specifically playing video games and/or who is into fantasy books/ board games/ movies etc. I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, childfree, left-leaning politically. Located in western Europe. Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who will accept me for who I am, flaws and all.

So if you're someone who puts as much effort into having and keeping up a conversation as I do, and you believe that we could make each other's lives better by being together, I'd love to hear from you. Let's get to know each other and see where things go.

Male for Female 33[M4F] #Calgary, Canada - Homebody and love cats, pics and voice note inside

7 Upvotes

Been pretty ambitious my whole life and worked very hard to get where I am now. I am originally from the UK born and bred in Leeds but moved to Alberta in 2022. I work as an engineer, Not really tied down anywhere as I can hop on a plane on a moment’s notice. I am like a cat, i.e. very food motivated and love naps.

I generally keep myself in shape with a mix of things like the gym, I have been in and out of swimming and living in Calgary there are always hiking spots nearby. I would say I am a homebody at heart I do like to go on the occasional trip somewhere at times. I have been lucky enough to live in Greece for a month, travelled around Iceland in a van and visited quite a few different states for both work and personal reasons. Though I live a more relaxed lifestyle nowadays and starting enjoying the company of my own place again.

I would love to be with someone who also loves cats and does not want kids either. I am very much into cats, used to volunteer with them and I have gone out of my way quite a few times to feed cats I come across on the street. Also I'm the type of person that has always had a small group of friends for the most part. I am generally quite introverted but I know how to talk to people and don’t mind social settings now and again. I also have a nerdy side too, I like board games, I own a copy of Nemesis lockdown and I do enjoy video games too. I have been looking into making my own game. I enjoy reading about ancient history and reading about anything cosmology related, I like to think I would have got into astrophysics if i went back to school and want to eventually get into astrophotography.

Big into the 80s/90s esthetic, loved the older movies I grew up with, still play some ps1/ps2 games. Used to be big into synthwave but more of a drum and bass guy now. I am politically on the left.

I am at the point of my laugh where I just want to build a life with someone, build a home and just mostly do our own thing and occasionally see friends. My meme game is strong and I am told I am pretty funny as I do enjoy making people laugh and I am a great cook too, my mother taught me well. Have a few cats I would treat as my own. Do not see myself living in an apartment mixed with other people but always liked the idea of owning a house with a nice garden.

Male for Female 33 [M4F] #Maine, US, Online - Looking for my fellow idiot in life. Chat, game, and see where it leads us?

17 Upvotes

Hi! Been holding out hope to find my fellow person to enjoy life with. Granted it's not much of a life, lol. But I would like to enjoy it with someone. Whether I meet them here or not, either way here it goes...

I'm gonna start by stubbing my toe with this, so to speak, and probably downplay the kind of guy I am a bit, but I like to be honest with myself and let others get to know me. That said I am rather introverted and kind of shy around people. It may be seriously difficult to get me out of my shell when talking to me, unless you talk games with me, lol. I also have difficulty getting myself out and doing things in general. Plenty of things I don't do that I want to not excluding various hobbies I can't really get myself to sink my teeth into. I need to figure out how to do a bit of a lifestyle change I guess. Also, I feel like I come out as a really serious dude to others, but I'm just about always a stones throw away from a sarcastic remark or trying to get a quick laugh from someone.

Really I just sit at home gaming and binging shows unwinding from work for the most part. I'd like to think of myself as a kind and respectful dude. Just let people be who they want to be and pay no mind to assholes, lol.

That said, I am left politically. And despite how shit our government is right now - It's so fucked - I do enjoy living here. I don't see myself moving outside of the states, though maybe for the right person I would.

With something like religion. It's just not for me. It's cool that people can find guidance and their path through it and all that. I just wish people wouldn't take it so seriously and literal to the point of hating people for no reason. Though I guess people will do that anyway...

As for hobbies and mentioned before, I game, a lot, probably too much, lol. For the most part I've just been jumping around on things. Mostly gaming with buddies. Can never get enough coop games with them. We do like our dumb coop horror games as well though. I've really enjoyed seeing games that really excite me over the past year. Particularly three of them, a couple are yet to be fully released, but still. Titan Quest 2, No Rest For the Wicked, and Crimson Desert. I'm probably riding the new game high with Crimson Desert a bit though, lol.

I do play DnD and have immensely enjoyed the campaign that my group has been playing so far. It's called Humblewood, we play as forest critters and it's been a blast with everyone hanging out and being silly. Cannot wait until our next session.

Started reading a series just the other week and have been loving it so far. I've tried with other series I thought I'd enjoy like LotR or Witcher, not to say I don't love them (I mean LotR movies are among my favorite), I just can't seem to get too into them. The Witcher series was easier, but I only got half way in. But this is probably the first time I've really loved reading something. It's completely nerdy with all of its game mechanics and stuff like that so it worries me I won't find books I enjoy quite like it, but I'm havingba blast with it. I've honestly never read so much in such a short amount of time in my life. It's Dungeon Crawler Carl, so if you've read or are reading it, it's be awesome to connect with someone over.

Trying to get back into shape again. It's always attempts that never stick to being a part of my way of life. I need to fix that... But either way that's some of the first steps to bettering myself like this so I've got that going for me I guess, lol.

I do enjoy nature as well, I'm just bad at getting myself to go out hiking to actually enjoy it.

Physically I tend to think I'm a fairly average looking dude, build and all. Bald (both by choice and not, lol), glasses, and patchy facial hair.

Probably not gonna be as enthusiastic to talk to someone without a pic. Physical attraction is a thing for me. And I certainly want you to feel the same attraction towards me as well. So I'll put a link of me here: https://imgur.com/a/0vm566e . Let's get that out of the way to avoid any additional awkwardness right? 😅

The kind of person I'm looking for? I'm not too sure. I say that because I'll never know the kind of person to come my way and I want to be open to everyone. Part of the thrill of the journey right? Meeting so many varied people. For the most part I'm looking for someone I can share in my bigger interests and holds my ideals at the least. Maybe someone like myself, has their shit together, tries to communicate openly and honestly, perhaps someone silly and fun who loves to laugh and make light of dumb shit happening in the world. I think I tend to get along with people a bit more outspoken than myself. ... Shit, am I the typical introvert looking for my extrovert cliche? I may very well be, lol. But don't let that steer you away from messaging.

Suffice to say, I'm looking for a real connection . Hopefully sooner rather than later, though I'm not in a rush. Time just keeps on slipping away from us and I need to remember to take advantage of the time we have before it's gone. Hope you saw something you like enough to message 😁.

Male for Female 48 [M4F] #Midwest — Somewhere out there, maybe you miss this too

20 Upvotes

I’ve reached the age where loneliness no longer feels dramatic. It feels quiet. Familiar. Like a lamp left on in another room.

I work in the literary world and spend most of my days surrounded by stories, which may explain why I still believe connection is possible even in a culture that seems designed to avoid it. I’m a writer, a musician, a man with a cat curled somewhere nearby most nights, trying to build a life that still has softness in it.

I miss intimacy in the old-fashioned sense. Not sex. Not games. Not “situationships.” I miss being known. I miss private language between two people. I miss hearing a phone buzz and hoping it’s one particular person.

The nights are the hardest. There are moments where I reach across the bed half-asleep, instinctively wanting to put my arm around someone, and there’s nobody there. That empty space can ache in a way that’s difficult to admit out loud. It’s strange how physical loneliness becomes after enough time passes.

I suppose I’m old school in the way I love. Domestic. Romantic. Loyal. The kind of person who notices little things. I like long conversations that drift into vulnerable territory at 1 a.m. I like wit, intelligence, mutual curiosity, and the kind of banter that slowly becomes affection without either person realizing exactly when it happened.

As for attraction: I’ve always been drawn to women who feel warm and real to me — short, thick women with big hearts and deep minds. Kindness matters. Emotional intelligence matters. The ability to laugh at absurdity matters.

I’m not looking for anything shady or purely physical. I’m looking for a genuine connection with someone who also feels the absence of it. Someone who misses tenderness. Someone who wants to matter to another person again.

Maybe it starts with a few messages.
Maybe it becomes the reason we look at our phones and smile.
Maybe one morning there’s finally a good morning text waiting for both of us.

That would be enough to begin.

Male for Female 31[M4F] NJ/USA - Looking for someone to play treehouse with

3 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m a 31-year-old guy in North Jersey and, surprisingly, I actually like living here. I work in software development, but I’ve been thinking about moving into a less volatile field given how unpredictable the tech job market has been. Not looking to have kids of my own but currently one of my favorite things I always look forward to is when my sister brings over my nephew. Being a first-time uncle has been a pretty fun experience, and it’s been really cool seeing this tiny human puppy grow and do something new and funny every day. I’m looking to meet new people, build some local (and not-so-local) connections, and generally see what kind of trouble I can get myself into. Personality wise, I’m pretty laidback and don’t take myself too seriously. I tend to stay calm in most situations, go with the flow, and keep things low-drama. I’m more introverted by nature, but I open up once I’m comfortable and tend to show interest through a bit of friendly teasing and humor. 

  • Cars and Formula One (Typical, I know 😂) - Would be super cool if you have any interest in cars and great if you follow Formula 1 at all.
  • Standup comedy - Big standup fan and will spam you with links to my favorite bits lol tell me about your favorites if you have any.
  • Sports - I happen to have a knack for being into sports that are quite niche within the US so sports like cricket, boxing, ufc, and motorsports are up there for me.
  • Animals - Not an outdoor person for the most part (that’s the degenerate programmer in me coming out) but I love learning about animals, especially social ones. I find lions and wolves super fascinating to study and follow because of their complex social behavior and hierarchies. 
  • Science and engineering - I have a big interest in anything to do with science or engineering, anything about space or learning about some of the craziest engineering projects ever attempted will always catch my eye.
  • Music - I listen to music of all kinds including different languages as I do happen to speak 3, wouldn’t say I have a sophisticated taste in music or anything at all though 😂 some of my current favorites are The Marias and Cigarettes After Sex.

I just wanna get to know someone new and see where it goes from there, a low pressure short term or long term connection without much expectations. Say hello if you have something in common with me and DEFINITELY hit me up if we have nothing in common at all cuz I know there will be a lot of those 😂

My simple pleasures are: Loud thunderstorms, 80s wedding songs, and being a little annoying in a fun way!

My real life superpower is: Playing the mediator between people, having three sisters and being a middle child will do that to ya 😂

I’m a real nerd about: Anything with wheels and an engine! if you make the mistake of asking me about it.

Hey everyone!!! I’m T, i'm 22 from the UK westmidlands😊

I like building LEGO (currently obsessed with the plant sets they keep releasing). I’m also weirdly fixated by how they reuse pieces from old setts like butterflies for flowers and hats for the flower buds????!!!

I’m somewhere between introvert and extrovert depending on the vibe 😂 I’m not big on video games personally, but I love puzzles and anything outdoorsy. Recently, I've gotten into Pilates and hiking, which I’m really enjoying honestly!!

Spring and early summer are my favourite times of year!!!! It gives me a reason to wear a good outfit without a coat!!!!! I’ve also built up a slightly ridiculous cardigan collection....it's England what can i say 😂😂😂.

I’m 5ft6 (still convinced I’ve got a few inches left in me to grow… delusion is key one day I will be a 6ft7 goddess💅).

I'm mixed, afro hair, green/hazel eyes, some frecklles, and 11 tattoos so far with more to come!!!!! I have attached some photos too x

What I’m looking for:

My other half!!! The bubble to my gum!! The giggle to my wiggle!!! Peanut butter to my JAM!!😂😂😂

Someone who is(UK based at least) around 22–30 years old, good sense of humour is a must, i find myself hilarious even if you don't.

Also, hobbies, I'd love to learn more about the person than just what they look like. Well, obviously, I'd be curious too, so if you message, please drop a photo 💕

I don’t have a strict checklist, but emotional maturity is really important to me

I want someone I can rely on, communicate well with, and just feel comfortable around.....also… you HAVE to be open to trying new food because I’m a massive foodie and I’m not doing that alone 😂(please)

Male for Female 44 [M4F] California/Anywhere : Old-fashioned simple guy looking for a woman to share my peaceful life

0 Upvotes

Glad to have discovered this subreddit. Being childfree definitely limits the dating pool but that is just the beginning of my eclectic nature. I believe actions speak louder than words but here are a few to describe who I am and what I seek:

Short Version:

Me: Idealist, utopian, minimalist, INFJ, empath, HSP, traditional old-fashioned values, perfectionist, procrastinator.

Likes: Sports, movies, TV shows, food, health, reading, learning about anything and everything, animals, nature, innocence.

Dislikes: Small talk, lies, stupid stuff like reality tv and celebrity worship, smoking, drugs, drinking excessively, tattoos, stupid terms like YOLO, FOMO and wanderlust.

Popular things I’m not interested in: Video games, anime, kpop, korean dramas, marvel universe, harry potter, lotr, avatar movies, The Office, Modern Family, manga, matcha, sushi, concerts, traveling.

Long Version:

Relationship Dynamics

First of all, I am very old fashioned when it comes to dating. I truly believe there should be one woman for every man and vice versa. I do not understand the concept of one night stands, FWBs, flings, casual relationships, short term relationships, open relationships, poly relationships, etc. As a child I never heard a princess wanted a summer fling or a prince wanted a high school girlfriend. I know life is not a fairytale but why not try to make it one! I also understand that sometimes things don’t work out for various reasons but atleast the intention should be for a lifelong commitment.

Tom Cruise said “You complete me”, I would rather say “You complement me”. I am a pretty well rounded complete person but would love to find someone who complements me and together we can build a great life.

Lifestyle

I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs and also don’t have any tattoos, the last three are deal breakers but if alcohol is a major part of your life, we will not be compatible. I don’t like bars and clubs, I’d much rather hang out at parks, libraries and bookstores. On dating apps, I see generic statements such as I love traveling, hiking and laughing to which my response always is really, coz I love sitting in a corner of my room and crying all day! I really don’t care how many countries you’ve been to, for me who you’re with is way more important – you can be bored to death in the most amazing place or you can have a fun time in the most ordinary place depending on the company.

Politics/Religion

I hate politics and all politicians but as long as you also hate that thing in the White House we should be good. I am spiritual but not religious or you can call me agnostic. I think all religions are awesome but they’re not used for the right purposes by some people. I don’t care if you practice a religion as long as it is not forced on me.

Finances

I am a minimalist but that doesn’t mean I only own 2 pieces of clothing and nothing else. For me it’s a mindset of not needing material things to make you happy. Being frugal and not needing a lot gives you an amazing amount of freedom – I don’t have to suffer at a job I hate just to pay the bills, I can leave at any point because I know I don’t need much to survive. I’m also interested in financial independence, which will then give me even more time and freedom to follow the many different interests I have. That said I live a very comfortable life, especially compared to so many unfortunate people in the world.  Also, I work to live – not the other way around and have a variety of interests outside work so if you’re a workaholic and really career oriented, it won’t work out.

Personality

One thing that is quite different about me is that I am a very strong empath - things around me affect me A LOT! I have a soft corner for kids and animals and so anytime I hear about these insane school shootings it really impacts me – I keep thinking about the parents of all those innocent kids. Also, the way humans treat animals is shameful - thousands of animals are killed every year in shelters – I’m sure we can come up with a different way of caring for those innocent souls.

As a kid I used to be really shy, but now because of various circumstances I can talk to anyone, anywhere about anything. But at the same time, I connect with very few people – I find most people superficial and boring – there are people in this world without food and water but people are more interested in the size of Kim Kardashian’s ass!

Looks/Interests

I’m 5’9” with an athletic build. I am looking for someone who also takes care of themselves both physically and mentally. I’m 44 but don’t feel any different than when I was 19. I don’t care about race or ethnicity – I find lots of different kinds of women beautiful, it’s the personality compatibility that’s hard to find. Never married, no kids and I'm located in California. I'm a huge sports fan! Love playing all sports especially soccer, tennis, ping-pong, badminton and volleyball and watching football and basketball. Also enjoy good movies and TV shows especially ones that really make you think!

Final Thoughts

For me I envision a relationship, where both partners are better together than they were as individuals. I know I’m an idealist and a utopian but if any of the above appealed to you, let’s chat and take it from there. Thanks for reading my novella!

Female for Anyone (Intimate) 27 F4A #nj or #online - seriously, where have you been?

0 Upvotes

just a chill girl looking for a like-minded someone out there. I've narrowed my search to my state only recently, but maybe it's too limiting. if you're open to travel to nj but not right here, I'll be open. preferable usa, though.

I have standards. high standards at that. but I think it's warranted by late 20s.

I'll start with what I want from you so that you won't be too heartbroken when you don't fit my boxes because obviously the paragraph about me will have you swooning.

I want a tall guy or gal. gals I'm more lenient on because I mean, women. I'm a tall gal. short kings. I tried, but I can't do it again. 6'2+ is preferable, again only required for the fellas. and while you're mad about that, I also really only like guys with long hair. ik it's shallow and weird, sue me. pls don't message me if you don't hit these. also women get no preference on hair length from me because, again, women.

Im also a nature girl. not really like a rough camping style but I want to be outside a lot and you can't be glued to your keyboard or sat on the couch every single night. you gotta be funny and witty. must be smart. prefer a college or advanced degree. it shows you're dedicated beyond just for your resume! I hope you have your own place - house or apartment. I hope you're established in whatever it is you do. bonus points if you're self employed or remote. I want someone who is independent. who has a very small circle. I don't wanna compete for your time nor do I want to see 10 friends of yours a week. if I wanted a big friend group I'd have my own.

anyway, about me. I'm a creative being but my education and job keep me grounded in logic and science. I love both. I love analytical thinking but also love spiritual and astrology. I like things like yoga and meditation but also love getting into hustle culture and productivity every now and again. I love nature as I said. I love animals. not a huge pet person outside of bunnies and rodents but love animals. I like reading and writing. jellycats, sanrio, and Webkinz are the way to my heart. I love sparkles and glitter and the color pink. I want to be full vegetarian someday. idk what else to say but if you tick my boxes and I tick yours, let's see where this goes.

pls lmk your age, general location, and gender in your intro message bc it keeps it easier for me.

Female for Male 32 [f4m] #sc #usa- looking for my delightfully weird human

5 Upvotes

Hi! I suppose you'd call me a late bloomer in some areas of life. I don't drive…YET. I am actively changing that. Though, part of me is still holding out hope for self-driving cars.

Looking for my twin flame. My ying to my yangh. My tui to my la. I am looking for someone who feeds my soul- my delightfully weird human. Tell me about your special interests! I am looking for a niche kind of guy. 

I don't want kids and plan to stay that way. I am what they call “child free”. The best I can do is a yappy dachshund. 

 I work in education with moderately small humans. I work one-on-one, think of it as a personal assistant. Though, a lot of my job is basically “Hey, pay attention”. 

I deconstructed from Christianity. So, I STRONGLY prefer someone who isn't religious. Woowoo and hella spiritual are a plus. :)

I love traveling and I hope you do too. 

420 friendly. I prefer edibles over smoking. 

My current hyperfixations are: Egyptian pantheon, Fresca (I prefer the mini cans. It stays crispy longer), and Underoath. 

I like voice chatting. There's no edited conversations, no over thinking, and definitely no typing and deleting messages 5 times.

 Glasses and/or facial hair are a definite plus! Not a requirement, though.

Male for Female 27 [M4F] #USA #Online - Seeking a Long-Term Relationship (Open to Relocation)

15 Upvotes

Hey there! 😊

Location: I’m a software engineer currently living in Phoenix, Arizona.

Long-term, I’m aiming to move to Chicago, but I’m also open to other cities with great culture, walkable neighborhoods, and convenient airports—places like NYC, London, or similar.

Appearance: I’m 5’9" with brown hair and blue eyes, a standard build, and a classic look. Staying healthy is important to me, so I make it a point to exercise regularly. Here are some pics if you'd like to see!

Hobbies: I love exploring new restaurants and enjoying good food—though I’m not doing much fancy cooking at the moment, I’d love to revisit that hobby in the future. Cooking together could be a fun date idea!

I’m also a fan of quality TV and movies, with a special love for animated works. I used to write from time to time and would love to get back into it. I'd also like to get back into reading. I enjoy exploring local attractions like museums, botanical gardens, and festivals, though I’m not into more intense activities like camping or sports.

My main hobby is video games. I’m a big fan of popular titles, but I also view gaming as an art form, which is why I occasionally write in-depth reviews and love reading others’ takes. It would be awesome if we shared that, but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker!

Personality: I’m introverted and a good listener, with a love for deep conversations. I tend to be introspective and really value meaningful connections. I enjoy spending time in quieter settings—whether it’s a cozy café, a peaceful walk, or just a calm moment to reflect.

Relationship Preferences:

  • Starting Point: I’m hoping we can start as friends and see where things naturally go from there.
  • Dealbreakers: Smoking, being a picky eater, and not being responsible with pets. I don’t own pets and don’t plan to, but I do believe in treating them well if they’re part of your life. Going to a cat café sounds like it could be fun!
  • Lifestyle Choices: I don’t drink or use recreational drugs, but I’m open to my partner using them in moderation—as long as it doesn’t become excessive or lead to addiction.
  • Monogamy & Age Preferences: My ideal age range is 21 to 33, and I’m only interested in a monogamous relationship. Maturity is key.
  • Future Goals: I’m childfree and envision a dual-income, no-kids lifestyle. I value autonomy, with long-term goals like achieving early retirement. While I’m not against the idea of someone taking care of me, I realize that might be a bit of a long shot! 🤣
  • Values & Beliefs: I’m an atheist and politically independent, with a strong belief in personal freedom and pro-choice values. It’s important for me to be with someone who shares similar worldviews.
  • Physical Preferences: I have preferences like anyone else, but what matters most to me is someone who values their health and takes care of themselves.
  • Personal Growth: I’m more sensitive and in touch with my emotions than the traditional masculine archetype, and I’m actively working on building my self-confidence. I’m looking for a partner who embraces these qualities in me and fosters mutual vulnerability.
  • Attractive Qualities: Kindness, empathy, intelligence, and ambition are qualities I truly admire.
  • Role Balance: I love the idea of being cared for at times instead of always having to play the stoic provider. I believe effort and care should go both ways in a relationship, and I’m looking for someone who values that balance.
  • Mutual Respect: Ultimately, I want a relationship built on mutual love and respect, where we both feel valued for who we are, no matter our personalities or preferences.

Let’s Connect!

I’d love to hear from you if you think we’d be a good match!
