50 F4M I need an escape

Life is a bit too much these days and I could use an escape.

I’m 50, live in Alaska, work full time. I enjoy music, movie/tv, comedy, cooking. I’m looking forward to summer and road trips. Physically I’m curvy, chubby, dark hair, brown eyes, tattoos.

I like tall, beards, muscles, tattoos. I also like first responders and military. I like sarcasm, dominance and intelligence. I love consistency and honesty.

I don’t like messages that just say hello. So because of that I’ll give you a starting point….if you took me to a dive bar what song would you play on the jukebox to slow dance to?

37 [M4F] Still searching-Easy energy, hilarious and witty

Hey there, I'm Jay. I'm 37, from the Chicago area.

Average height, dark hair, dark features, heavily tattooed and sort of alt styled.

A little more about me and what I'm looking for-

I work a a blue collar job, it IS dangerous (sometimes) but I do enjoy it.

In my free time, I'm also a musician, I can hold my own with guitar, bass and drums. Maybe Ill write you a song! I also write, read, I'm all over the place. But I'm always open to new hobbies, if you have suggestions!

I'm super sarcastic and dry humored. Wit and banter earn huge points in my book too. Come at me, let's see what ya got!

I'm hoping to find someone I genuinely connect with and can develop something with. Someone to talk with throughout the day, send stupid pictures too and vent to. Someone that makes me smile every time I look at my phone.

If this sounds like you, we have any similar interests or even if you just think we'd hit it off, lemme know!

I think Im definitely worth getting to know!

41 [M4F] Netherlands - looking for a real connection

Hello there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm a 41-year-old programmer 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, which is why I enjoy traveling to see ancient sites in person.

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. 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.

40[F4M] CA/online chat the Tuesday scaries away

Hey you. How’s it going? It’s only Tuesday but this week is a struggle and I could use some dopamine. I only have one meeting left today and then it’s time to procrastinate. Join me?

Some things about me: I broke my left foot twice in one year. My dog and I both have the same autoimmune disease because she’s my bio baby. I love Tiny Desk Concerts, read a lot, and have a love/hate relationship with my job. Once, LL Cool J looked me up and down outside a bodega and smiled. I believe that if “film”’is a hobby then so is tv. I’ve interviewed a serial killer. Proud owner of two large dimples and a millennial side part. Low capacity for bullshit but high capacity for forgiveness

Looking for a guy in a similar sitch, which is bored but not looking for anything life changing or romantic. Let’s just shoot the shit and make each other smile. The fun is in going with the flow, so let’s just have an organic convo and get to know each other.

Come say (more than just) hi :) 35+

48 [M4F] Utah/Any, Don’t let anyone, ever, make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want

I am a single dad in Utah, originally from Seattle, I can carry all the groceries in one trip, and am left handed. Looking for that special woman to share life's fun and foibles.

I am 6’3”, dadbod and active

I have a cat and a teenager that live with me.

I enjoy weightlifting, playing the piano, walks in the moonlight and movies.

What I am looking for:

I am looking for someone wonderful that brings a spark with her. Having that connection is the most important to me. The emotional connection matters to me the most. Though dancing together in the kitchen makes it even better. If this sounds like something you want, I would love to hear from you

44 [F4M] #CA- looking for something serious

I’m an Asian female who personally prefers Asian men, based on my own experiences, but I’m open to anyone who knows and appreciates Asian culture.

I’m demisexual, so I’m not interested in casual hookups. I am primarily looking for a life partner, but I’m also open to meeting kind, genuine people for meaningful friendships that could last a lifetime. I value honesty, connection, and shared interests, and I hope to build something real and lasting.

41 [M4M] #Netherlands - Geeky chub looking for genuine romance!

My name is Mark and this is what I look like. I'm pretty short at 1m70 (5'7 in Freedom Units) and chubby. With the right guy I'm very affectionate and flirty, empathetic, open-minded, and sometimes funny. I also have anxiety, which keeps me from working, which can't be an issue for you. I do have my own place though, so meeting is no problem!

I'm into tech, fantasy and science fiction, non-PvP gaming, futurism, board games, and all things science, especially astronomy. You don't have to be a gamer, if you have a better idea on how to bond, I'm all ears! I'd also love to lose some weight and get in shape, so if that's something we can do together that would be amazing!

As for what I'm looking for: you can be any height, hair colour, etc, all I really need from you is patience, empathy, interesting conversation, and unlimited hugs. You don't have to have your life sorted, I certainly don't, we can muddle through it together.

If any of the above appeals to you, please feel free to contact me!

43 [F4M/W] #Upstate NY #Online - Seeking my Homebody King/Queen

Hey y'all. I'm going to try something different. I'm going to put myself out there an hopefully, I'll find that special one. I'm a black woman. 43 years old, but I technically stopped counting. I'm a bit chubby and I have an exercise bike that I'm definitely going to use one day. I'm a homebody, but I like going out as long as it not too busy. I'm not a fan of large crowds and if I'm in a group, I prefer smaller groups of 2-3 friends. I never really grew out of that shy, awkward stage.

I'm usually at home reading or playing games. I like WoW and Runescape. But, I also love board games, Miniature games, TTRPGs and boardgames. I have a nice collection of solo games, but I do make it out to play at my favorite game store sometimes. Other than games, my other interests/hobbies include arts and crafts. I've always wanted to get into cosplay, but I may have missed that boat. I'll just stick to paper crafts and painting the occasional mini.

I'm divorced with 2 teens. My ex and I are cool - so no drama. I'm open to a LTR, or a good friendship. I have no idea what else to say about myself. And I don't really have any preference about my potential match other than no cigarette smokers or vapers.

45 [M4F] KY/Anywhere Emotionally intelligent, dog-approved, and finally not here for nonsense

I’m 45, based in Kentucky with a remote job so open to relocation, and at a point where I’ve done enough life to know what matters—and what doesn’t.

I work full-time in a leadership role focused on developing people, which means I spend a lot of time helping others grow while continuing to work on myself too. I’m grounded, stable, and intentional about the life I’m building.

Outside of work, I’m a mix of low-key and spontaneous. I enjoy nights in with good food and something worth watching, but I’m also always up for getting out, exploring, or doing something that turns into a great story later.

I’ve got a golden retriever who’s a big part of my world, so being a dog person definitely helps your case.

I’m thoughtful, a little introspective, and I value real conversations—the kind where you actually learn someone, not just pass time. I’ve got a dry sense of humor, can be a little sarcastic, and I appreciate someone who can give it right back.

What I’m looking for:

A woman who’s kind, self-aware, and knows how to communicate. You don’t have to have everything figured out, but you should have a sense of who you are and what you want. I’m drawn to someone who can be both easygoing and emotionally present.

Bonus points if you:

\* Love dogs

\* Enjoy good food and trying new places

\* Can go from meaningful conversation to laughing at something dumb in seconds

I’m not here for games or endless back-and-forth that goes nowhere. I’m open to something real if there’s a connection.

If this resonates, send me a message and tell me what your ideal low-key weekend looks like—or something completely random that says a lot about you.

60 [F4M] #MD #DMV - Where is my partner?

Are you still out there? If so, where are you hiding? I've looked inside plastic Easter eggs, peeked under my bed (wow, is it dusty), rubbed genie lamps, and cut open all the large cardboard boxes I could find. (My neighbors keep yelling at me to get off their porches with my box cutter, but I remain hopeful.) Nope, no honey bunnies anywhere. So here I am, on Reddit, looking for you in the ether.

60F, divorced after a long, mostly great marriage, looking for my partner. I learned a lot in my marriage: from how to fight fairly, to when to part lovingly. I'm all about balance -- we both give, we both woo, we both lean on each other. Some days I'll be stronger, some days you will be, and some days we'll both fall apart... but overall, we know we can rely on each other. We're far from perfect, but we're each other's favorite person anyway. We talk things through before they become insurmountable problems. We give each other affection as well as space. We know a loving relationship takes work, but it usually doesn't feel like work.

I need someone who sees the world similarly to me. Habits and hobbies don't matter to me, but world views do. That said: I'm liberal, not remotely religious or spiritual, and believe in helping others. That's just part of living in society. Kindness and compassion are foundational. Empathy is everything. Cooperation and consideration cover the rest.

Please be local enough that we can meet on a fairly regular basis. Of course, in the DC metro area, 30 miles away can mean 90 minutes, easily. I drive for a local rescue, so some distance doesn't deter me, but it would be splendid if you're also in the DMV. And actually single. And close to my age. I'm not looking for FWB, cubs, or hookups (you do you, just not with me). I want monogamy, conversation, and to really know each other. I want to grow together. We can bring out the best in each other, while accepting the worst. We'll be each others' safe place. We all have damage, especially by our age, but the very most important thing to me about another person is that they have a good heart.

Are you ready for something real with someone who continues to work on her inner self?

47 [M4F] UK, Essex - Tell your pets I said hi.

I often find animals have better communication skills than a lot of people. They're usually more loyal, have bigger hearts, more compassion and empathy, and they're great cuddle buddies.  All qualities I look for in a soul mate. The only thing they can't do is return back tickles...but then again I've never really met a woman who does either 🙁

If your pet can vouch for you then I'll talk to you too 😁 I really could do with some help getting out of the house more this summer so if you're a doggo maybe I could join you and your human on a walk? If you're a catto or another mostly housebound pet maybe I can cuddle you and your human when we get back from our walk/day out?

UK only please.

So to the human reading this, tell me about your pet, bombard me with pics of them, tell me about you, where you're from, how old you are, what you're into. Tell me your favourite silly joke.

40 [M4F] Colorado / Online Looking for My Favorite Distraction

I’m 40, living in Colorado, and I’ve learned something about myself… I don’t want casual noise. I want one person who lingers.

I’m the emotionally intelligent, observant type.... the man who listens closely, remembers what you said three days ago, and uses it later to make you smile. I’m calm, grounded, a little mysterious at first. But once I’m comfortable? Playful. Teasing. Slightly dangerous with my words.

I love cooking...and I fully expect you to “bother” me in the kitchen while I pretend to focus. I’m into cozy nights, winter over summer, movies, and conversations that get progressively more honest after midnight.

Yes… I like clingy.

Not chaotic. Not jealous. But the kind of clingy where you double text because you’re excited. Where you want my attention and aren’t afraid to take it.

If you’re curious, emotionally aware, a little affectionate (maybe even possessive in a soft way), and you like the idea of being someone’s favorite notification…

Say hi.

51 [f4m] Maryland: looking for something real

Let’s skip the endless texting and meet like actual adults—coffee, a drink, a walk…something simple to see if there’s a real connection.

I’m a woman with a full life, a solid career, and zero interest in games or surface-level nonsense. I won’t sext, I won’t waste time, and I won’t pretend to be anything other than exactly who I am.

What will you get? Someone who’s genuine, emotionally aware, and knows how to show up. I value honesty, laughter, and those rare conversations that actually go somewhere. I love music that hits deep, moments that feel real, and people who mean what they say.

I’m the kind of person who cares deeply, sees the good in others, and also knows her worth—so I’m looking for the same energy in return.

You: kind, grounded, emotionally intelligent, able to communicate, and not afraid of something that could grow into more.

If you’re looking for real connection, not just a distraction… we’ll get along just fine.

Let’s meet and see what happens.

40[F4M] #Peoria #Illinois looking for friends, maybe more

https://imgur.com/a/V4Syx4f Halfday at work, having a lunch cocktail. Join me?

Man, finding friends and dating is hard. Idk maybe I was cuter when I was younger or something. No one seems to want to put forth real effort in getting to know someone else. Not even on the friend level. Whole lot of rudeness flying around too. Where are the happy people at?? I've met and hung out with four people from here now, just not much common ground. Fun experiences, looking for more of them.

I'm a single 40 year old looking for connection. I am settled with my own car and place. Have no ex drama and no kid drama. I work full time, have health insurance, a hair stylist, a dentist, a doctor, a therapist and a good relationship with my parents. Well, mostly. I mean my parents say they don't have a favorite, but they use my sister's birthday for their passwords.

I like my life but it feels empty sometimes. I'm past the age of having kids. It's very okay if you do. The older the better, my dog gets nervous around toddlers. I think it's their high voices. She's been that way since she was a puppy.

I love animals, dogs especially! I love amusement parks, swimming, dancing (years of training when I was a tyke), roller skating, drawing, playing RPGs and watching movies. I love a good potato and anything covered in cheese.

I'm in Peoria and I'd love to make a friend (maybe more) to have random lunches or dinners with. Maybe see a movie or comedy show together. Hopefully you're within an hour or two and we can meet up. If you have a social dog, maybe we can get them together for a playdate! Shoot me a message with your age and location, let's get something started!

30-something married lady looking to chat!

I'm not here with a list of 100 things you must or must not be. I'm here for some sort of attention, but not so much attention that our worlds catch fire. I don't need sparks or fireworks, I'm not trying to fall in love. I don't need saving. What I do need is some easy conversation and friendship. Not to trash our spouses, but to connect with someone outside of my world. Someone outside of this house and family.

I'm slow to trust because I have seen what people do when they let emotions make the choices. It's not pretty, guys. I'm also not looking to dive into sext. Maybe it'll happen down the road, but if you say some weird shit straight away, I'll leave you on read until I die. Comprende?

Maybe we will hate eachother. Maybe we will become friends til the end. Or maybe something totally unexpected. Whatever it is, I want it to come organically. I'm also giving preference to people who use voice notes and calls. If you don't/won't/can't, you may not want to message me.

I've got time to spend with someone if there's a click. For no reason in particular, I'll either connect or I won't. No offense if I don't, but I'll tell you. Please actually be able to communicate. Be over 35, be from the US and leave your comments about dead bedrooms at the door. Age and location in your message!

Realistically these are short term chats, which is okay. I don't want conversation to feel forced one direction. Bored and here for chat! And maybe a phone call?

55M in IL seeking chats and maybe long term friends

I get a rush connecting with genuine people. I’ve had some good conversations with interesting people. Most have been short term and that’s ok, but I’d prefer to make long term connections. That’s why I’m here.

I live in Illinois and work from home a few days a week, which allows me some opportunities to chat. I believe you can never have too many friends.

I enjoy a warm and sunny day outside — from cooking on the grill, taking care of my flowers, or going on a hike or road trip. I also like all sorts of music, movies, animals and sports. I’m never too old to learn something new and I welcome that.

If anything of this sounds interesting to you, please tell me a little about you if you reach out.
