I see my reference to the absolute idiocy and British elitism of the Oxford comma has generated some angst. I’ve staffed out your concerns and you will all be receiving correspondence from my team shortly.

Having said that, I was leaving a convenience store this morning and attempted to open the door on my right-hand side. It didn’t budge. Locked. As per usual when that happens (frequently) I paused. I stayed where I was, dramatically looking skyward and shaking my head. I turned to the clerk and made sure they were fully aware of my disdain. Oh the look I gave that person.

Speaking of that, the semi-colon. Just stop. Many of you who defend the empire’s Oxford comma, also attempt to use the semi-colon. Stop. You don’t know how. Just avoid it. Periods and commas (not Oxford). Periods and commas.

And another thing; my hostas are growing nicely and I sang some classic Jackson Browne while watering them last night. The neighborhood ladies were impressed.

I'll try to sound excited to be here posting again, looking for someone special to share life with. I'm not looking for someone who has no intention of ever meeting in person. I'm not looking for a perpetual pen pal.

I’m looking for a partner who’s there when things are good and when they are not. I’m looking for a friend who’s can laugh with me and about me and at themselves. I’m looking for a love that inspires me every morning to be a better man. I’m looking for a mind that is curious, questioning, understanding and accepting of all points of view. I’m looking for a woman who makes me see stars when we kiss and I feel lost when she’s not with me. 

I want the dream. I want the whole thing. But…

I’m a realist. I know how life’s little expectations often are unfulfilled. I know there is no perfect companion out there and I know I’m not perfect in any way shape or form. So I’m ready to accept what the universe has for me. I’m ready to find a friend, meet my new love, spend a good few months together or a lifetime. I am happy to have it all but I’m not foolish enough to ignore the happy little things as they come along. 

I find joy in simplicity. If I am with an intriguing person, having an amazing conversation leading to a lasting connection, I don’t care if it happens in a park, the McDonald’s drive through or the Palm.  

I am as happy listening to the local band play at the street festival as the symphony in a fancy venue. I’m as pleased hiking through a wood as I am dressed up at an event. I’m happy because of the company I keep and the way they make me feel. I don’t care at all about the venue. 

People like to be spoiled. And I like to spoil my partner with quality time, physical touch, meaningful activities, devotion and love. I’m not into shopping or the most expensive wine or steak. Material stuff means little to me. It’s all so easy to lose but love and a solid relationship can last forever. 

If this sounds familiar or appealing, please reach out. I would love to talk to you.

Ok. Look. A few things I need to come clean with.

I have flip flop tan lines. Starting at 11am my mind is on getting to my yard and creating work for myself.

I resist the urge to comment on any post that has grammatical horror in the title. It drives me a little insane. Seriously. Loose and lose. It’s not varsity.

I traded half a rhododendron for a wagon of hostas today and I swear I may not sleep because it excites me that much.

I see pictures of guys on social media staring wistfully toward the horizon as they drive and I wonder how they hired an Oompa Loompa to crouch in the passenger foot place and wait for…”Now…take it now.”

Oxford commas are for elitist assholes. We won the revolutionary war so we wouldn’t have to use them.

That’s it for now. Watch DTF St. Louis on HBO. It’s ridiculously good.

Share everyday moments, discuss challenges and difficulties at work, and explore meaningful and insightful topics.

I hope to find someone with whom I can learn from each other and grow together.

I am under 50 years old

One more thing: If you are under 45, please do not send private messages.

Would love to have a good, consistent conversation with a mature, emotionally available man. Not into kink talks or pictures. I just want someone who will start and end my day, as well as his, with a nice talk, ideal for those who work from home or are in retirement mode who are into similar interests. I would like to bounce back energy and witty banter if we vibe. Although I still work, I make efforts to reply when I can because I like real connections.
I'm not looking for online hookups, either. Not entertaining married men. My idea of "fun" is within the context of exclusivity, if it will lead to it. (Is that too radical?) I'm trying my luck here, who knows? :D For now, let's stay respectful.
Younger than 50s , no need to DM.

TG: Somethingaboutlove7

Searching for a mature Lady who would enjoy an attentive and submissive man focused on putting Her first within their relationship. A Lady who has reached the point of her life where she has raised her children and is now ready to be more self-focused. Ready to enjoy her “me” time and is looking for a supportive man to be at her beck and call where she . . .

• has a controlling nature and she expects to be put first in Her relationship - TPE and D/s

• would enjoy a man who sees his role as being devoted and dedicated to striving to please Her - making it all about Her

• enjoys Her “me time” or private alone-time whether that is just relaxing or spending time on Her hobbies but expects her man to be available and responsive to Her when needed

• expects to be pampered and have Her man take care of the chores and domestic tasks around the home - and learn to do so “Her way”

• enjoys taking the lead and making the rules over Her relationship and Her man

• enjoys seeing Her man suffer torment and sacrifice his pleasure to keep focus on pleasing Her.

• 40+ years old

me:

• used to be more athletic but still somewhat athletic

• enjoy working-out but not obsessed with it

• have a professional job as an account manager for a software company - work remotely from home mostly - plan to continue to work outside the home and take over the domestic chores - not looking for a free-ride.

• attracted to a strong controlling Lady who expects her man to follow Her rules and have things done Her way.

• enjoys nice dinners and travel and beach vacations

i feel strongly that the my role in the relationship is to make “Her” life easier. i expect to learn what she enjoys so she doesn’t need to ask. otherwise i’m not paying attention and i’m not focusing on what is important - pleasing Her. i’m a “pleaser” just wired that way i guess. i match best with a lady who tends to be selfish and would enjoy pushing her man to be attentive to Her needs and wants.

i’m in Ohio but my son is now in he’s late 20s and on his own so i’m open to relocating

FLR == Female led relationship or D/s relationship — level 3 or 4

Feel free to send me a chat msg if this type of relationship interests you.

Found this place through a friend’s suggestion and I’m glad I did. She knew it would suit me.

I’m married and a shy mother, so prefer to keep my identity private here.

I enjoy slow, respectful conversations and getting to know people first. I love learning about different people, cultures & tend to connect better with mature (55+) men from abroad.

Looking for a genuine connection. If comfort, interest and trust build over time, I may share more privately...

Hi. Im actually 36 and not 51. I have a thing for older women, though. I have a bit of a Mommy kink and a diaper fetish that im looking to explore. We can discuss more when yodynamic. Im also interested in ABDL. Which we can also discuss.

Im looking for friends first, and fwb if it leads to that. I love an older/younger dynamic. 46-59 is my age range. Kink-friendly or open to exploring kink/ABDL a huge plus. Race doesnt matter. From Minnesota or lives around Minneapolis/SW Minneapolis area. Able to travel. We can take turns hosting.

DM me if interested.

I’d like to thank all of you for the genuine concern you showed for my harrowing trip to the DMV last week. I made it out alive. The aforementioned item in the woman’s hair in front of me turned out to be a piece of dried tomato, possibly a shard of pepperoni. Disturbing.

I’m currently in an airport, a south Texas airport, and I just saw two middle aged men wearing flat-brimmed ball caps. I can’t stress this enough: that is just not acceptable. That’s a young man’s game you’re playing and you’re not playing it well. Curve the brim if you’re over 35, men. Our gender suffers because of you.

I have a breakfast burrito in front of me and I’m eating it with a fork. People are glancing and murmuring. Let them. Let them, I say. If I were to pick this up, the results would be dramatic, messy and long-lasting.

Thank you for your attention to the matters above.

Seriously. This is nuts. Just sit down. This is how my morning and early afternoon went.

Arrived at Five Below at 10:02. Minor chastising from the pre-teen because we weren’t the first ones there, because that’s critical. 20 minutes or so there and I have to tell you this without hubris or ego…I was the best looking, wittiest, virile guy in there.

Ok. I was the only guy in there.

Deals. It’s all about deals. In exchange for the hell of Five Below the kiddo agreed to 11 minutes in Home Depot. Speed run. Potting soil, flowers with no research, a quick convo with a lady about perennials (I knew the answers but she was cute), then—as the kids would say—Audi 5000.

Now I’m planting things with ear buds in, singing Yacht Rock tunes loudly. Cargo shorts, flip flops, cheap beer in hand.

Line to the left, ladies.

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?

Anyone have any experience living on the road? I am thinking about giving the van life a go. I don't really have any obligations and I work remote so there is nothing tying me down. If you have any experiences to share or are interested in giving it a try send me a message!

After reading many things posted by others, I think this may be weird, but it is what I'm looking for.

I am looking for someone to chat with and flirt with online. I am not looking for a relationship or a hookup. Strictly, an online only connection that makes both people feel desirable and interesting. A connection that provides good communication, flirtation, sexy chat. The mundane and the spicey. Friendship plus.

Is it unrealistic to want to add to each other's day without the intention of a face to face meet? I hope to find men to chat with that are respectful, but also open to a bit of online excitement. The kind that makes you feel eager to check your phone and see what the other person says, but without the expectation of it going any further.

I've seen many posts about people not even wanting to text very long before they meet in person. My interests may be unappealing to many, but surely not all?

Full-time dad to a teenage daughter, part-time menace with a sense of humor that tends to get me into (fun) trouble.

I’m a bigger guy—so if your ideal date includes feeling safe, laughing a lot, and getting pulled into a hug that lasts just a little longer than expected… we’re already off to a solid start.

I’m naturally easy to be around. No awkward energy, no pretending. I’m the kind of person people open up to without realizing it, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll remember the details, check in when it matters, and actually listen—not just wait for my turn to talk.

Personality wise:

Think quick-witted with a grounded side. I’ll give you a hard time (in a good way), keep things playful, and make you laugh—but I’m also the guy who can flip a late-night conversation into something real without it feeling heavy.

I like depth. The kind where a random topic turns into stories, opinions, and “wait, tell me more about that.” If you’ve got thoughts, personality, and a little edge, we’ll get along just fine.

What Dating Me Feels Like

I don’t do boring. Even the simple stuff turns into something memorable—late-night food runs that turn into hour-long conversations, random stops that become inside jokes, and those “we should probably go” moments that neither of us actually follows through on.

Also, fair warning: I will take you somewhere mildly chaotic like a haunted house and act brave… right up until I need backup. It builds character.

Random Facts That Matter More Than They Should:

Sushi is always a yes

Pineapple on pizza is not up for debate (I’m right)

Mushrooms are on thin ice

Yogurt has been permanently exiled

Allergic to bees and berries, so there’s a non-zero chance you’ll get to be the hero in our story

Music taste is all over the place—classic rock, metal, 80s, random throwbacks. If there’s a kitchen nearby, there’s a chance it turns into a dance floor.

What I’m Looking For:

Someone who’s genuine, a little playful, and knows how to be present. You can flirt, laugh easily, and hold a conversation that doesn’t feel forced.

Bonus points if you can keep up with sarcasm, enjoy a little back-and-forth, and don’t mind getting pulled into moments that last longer than planned.

If we click, you’ll know. The conversation won’t stall, the laughs will come easy, and suddenly it’s way later than either of us expected.

Married, Bucks County, PA. 64… allegedly. I feel younger, act younger, and most days forget I’m supposed to be “this age.”

Life’s good on paper—no drama, no chaos. Just… a little too predictable. I miss the fun part. The spark. The kind of connection where texting isn’t a chore and seeing someone actually feels like something to look forward to.

I’m easygoing, respectful, discreet—and yeah, I’ve got a sense of humor (slightly sarcastic, occasionally inappropriate, always well-timed). I like good food, live music, getting outside, and I’m just as happy cooking something great and staying in.

I take care of myself, I’m a giver in all the right ways, and I appreciate a woman who does the same.

Not looking to change anyone’s life—just add something real, consistent, and local (30–45 min so we’re not planning like it’s a road trip).

If you’re in the same boat and miss that something, or just want to chat, then drop me a line and say "hi".

50 [M4F] #London Attractive Professional Male M4F

M4F

Attractive, cultured, easy going professional male looking to meet new people HMU, for fun and friendship. Have a wide range of interests, have a good day

Married white man age 59 living in New York, (Long Island) is seeking an ongoing free consensual intimate friendship with a woman that lives in the nyc/queens/Long Island area… I am seeking a woman that needs a friend for conversation and intimacy in her life.

I was up before the crack this morning and feeling incredibly ambitious. I opened my laptop, intending to eloquently answer ten or twelve moderately important emails.

I answered one and then a Lulu Lemon ad popped up so I naturally decided to look at some tasteful Reddit porn, which turned into a scenario featuring an innocent girl trying to make her way through med school by stripping while serving drinks from the golf course beer cart.

Next thing you know, I’m watching YouTube golf instructional videos and now I’m convinced I can hit a draw off the tee box.

And that’s the morning of a middle aged divorced man. Line forms to the left, ladies.

Anyone local ish to me in Sheffield UK.

up for a chat, see if we connect on any level then maybe something IRL one day.

I'd say my intrests are music, reading, tv.

I know, not all that awe inspiring, no long walks in the wilderness reciting poetry and quoting long forgotten philosophers but hey ho, I'm sure there's someone like that on here..Nothing against long walks though, just more an inside kinda person this kinda year where is there anything better than cancelled plans.

If at all intrested, please send me a message.
