Hello, whoever you are.

I'm a guy born in 1993, living in Norway, and I've reached that uncomfortable point where I've noticed the older I get, the faster the years seem to disappear.

I'm okay on my own. I'd rather remain single than be with someone simply for the sake of not being alone. But I'd hate to look back one day and realize I wanted someone beside me and never made the effort to find her.

So... is there anyone out there?

A little about the creature you'd be dating

I'm 183 cm, with long hair, a beard and moustache. If I leave my hair down, being called Jesus isn't unusual. I also have tattoos on my hands and arms. I don't regret them, and I'll probably get more someday.

My mother is American, my father Finnish, and I was born and raised in Norway. I've never felt like I belong entirely to one nationality; I'm just me, with pieces from several places.

I speak English and Norwegian fluently and can communicate semi-fluently with my Danish and sheepish neighbours. If being with you means learning another language, I'm willing. Just be patient while I inevitably butcher it for a while.

I'm extremely introverted. If nothing requires me to leave the house, there's a good chance I won't. I'm still up for camping or exploring, but staying home, cooking, playing games and doing our own things beside each other sounds pretty good too.

I value comfortable silence; simply having someone there can mean more than filling every second with conversation. At a distance, though, I enjoy texting.

And please communicate directly with me.

I'm terrible at social cues. If you're upset but tell me "nothing is wrong" while expecting me to figure it out, we're both going to have a bad time. Tell me what's wrong. Tell me what you want. Ask me what I want.

I take things literally and I'm brutally honest when directly asked something. If you ask a question, I'll assume you actually want my answer.

I'm almost unrealistically patient. Missed a train and the next comes in an hour? I'll happily wait. Paradoxically, I hate being late and will happily arrive an hour early so I can relax and compose myself.

Apparently my solution to being patient is giving myself more opportunities to wait.

My humour is dark. Very dark. I don't think humour needs many sacred cows. If your reaction to a terrible joke is laughter followed by "Jesus Christ, you can't say that," we'll probably get along.

What do I actually do?

I work in a store. If I don't have anything better to do, I might as well work.

I enjoy idle and long, drawn-out games. Give me progression, optimization and an unnecessary grind and I'll probably be entertained. Sometimes the process is more fun than the end.

I'm a Magic: The Gathering player, enjoy card games and tactics, and also play Hearthstone. I haven't read many traditional novels lately, but I'm still an avid reader. Manga, manhwa and manhua have become my little escape.

I also love worldbuilding: characters, worlds, magic systems and story ideas that accumulate in notes whether or not they ever become finished stories.

And I love cooking. More on why that's important later.

What am I looking for?

Ultimately, my best friend whom I'm also hopelessly attracted to.

Someone kind, affectionate, communicative and willing to listen while expecting the same from me. A relationship should be give and take, with effort from both people.

Physical affection matters to me. I'm someone who'll give you an unprompted hug simply because you're there. If you dislike physical contact or always need physical distance, we probably aren't compatible.

I'd prefer another indoor-oriented person who's still willing to occasionally emerge from our cave and confirm that trees continue to exist.

I'd also like someone curious and open-minded. My attitude is don't judge it until you've tried it. I'll form my own opinion after experiencing something rather than inheriting someone else's. "That's weird, therefore it's bad" isn't an attitude I enjoy.

My philosophy is somewhere between "sometimes things just go wrong" and "prepare for the worst, hope for the best." Figure out what can be fixed and carry on.

The practical compatibility stuff

I'd prefer someone reasonably close to my age; a little younger or older is fine.

I want a child someday. One would make me perfectly happy; I could probably be negotiated into two. If you definitely don't want children, I respect that, but we're looking for different futures.

I've never made that lifelong commitment before. I'm open to making things official someday, but I'd prefer a courthouse or small gathering over a giant ceremony.

I'm not religious, but I'm fine dating someone who is, provided neither of us forces our beliefs on the other. If you're religious, prepare for approximately four thousand curious questions about your faith.

I don't smoke, although I've promised myself a pipe at 60. Hard drugs are a no. I occasionally enjoy whisky, brandy, cognac or akevitt.

I'm firmly monogamous. If we're pursuing a relationship, I want us to be pursuing each other, not maintaining alternatives in case something better appears. Cheating is an absolute dealbreaker, including a history of it.

I'm willing to relocate for the right person, although I'd prefer you eventually wanted to come to Norway. Europe would be easiest, but I'm open to long distance and most of the world. You can absolutely be American—my mother is—but I don't want to live in the United States now or in the foreseeable future. Unless things change dramatically, relocation there isn't on my list.

One unusually important thing: food

I have severe coeliac disease. This isn't a dietary preference. Tiny amounts of gluten contamination can make me ill.

You don't have to give up bread, but I need you to understand cross-contamination and take cleaning seriously.

On the other hand, voluntarily join me in the gluten-free life and you've unlocked the personal-chef relationship perk. I genuinely love cooking and would be very happy feeding you.

Attraction

Physical attraction matters alongside emotional compatibility.

I don't have a height preference. Short, average or tall can all be attractive to me. I tend to prefer slimmer/average builds and pale/fair complexions.

Those are preferences, not a character-creation screen where you need the correct sliders. Attraction is something I discover when I see and get to know someone.

I'm happy to exchange pictures. You might look at me and decide Jesus isn't your type. That's fair.

I've done this twice before

I've had two relationships. My first was with someone very sporty and athletic. Where we connected, things were wonderful, but there were also parts of each other we simply didn't understand. Eventually we drifted apart.

My second began too quickly, before we'd properly established what we wanted from our futures. Eventually it became clear those futures weren't the same, and I ended things rather than dragging out something that couldn't become what either of us wanted.

I learned from both.

I've had two. I'd rather number three be the last.

So, who are you?

Maybe you're in Norway, elsewhere in Europe, or halfway across the planet wondering why you're still reading the ramblings of some long-haired, tattooed Norwegian-Finnish-American-ish man who plays Magic and promises gluten-free food.

I'd like you to be kind. Affectionate. Communicative. Curious. Capable of laughing at terrible things. Comfortable spending a quiet evening indoors. Someone with her own thoughts and interests who isn't looking for a man to simply agree with everything she says.

I don't want pushy, snobbish or rude people, someone obsessed with status and showing off, games, cheating, or an ex perpetually lurking in our relationship.

I'm not looking for perfection. God knows you wouldn't be getting it in return.

I'm looking for someone whose imperfections work with mine.

Someone I can cook for. Someone who'll tell me when I'm being an idiot. Someone I can send stupid messages to from the other side of the world until, hopefully, we're eventually sitting beside each other instead. Someone I can hug for absolutely no reason. Someone who can sit in silence with me without wondering whether something is wrong.

Someone whose language I might initially speak terribly, but who'll laugh with me while I learn. Someone with whom ordinary life feels a little less ordinary.

Time is going to pass regardless of whether I make this post. So I might as well send a message out into the void and see if someone answers.

If you've reached the end and think we might get along, tell me about yourself. Don't worry about constructing the perfect opening message. Give me something genuine and I'll take genuine over polished any day.

And perhaps tell me something you enjoy that most people would consider weird.

It seems like a good place to start.

Heya, I’m Joe, 33, from Cardigan in West Wales. I’m 188cm / 6'2" tall 😊

I’d love to meet a woman around my age for an affectionate, monogamous, long-term relationship. Someone to flirt with, share ridiculous running jokes with, and gradually become part of each other’s everyday lives.

I’m a quiet introvert and a good listener. I enjoy hearing someone get carried away talking about what they love, and I’ve got my own thoughts and enthusiasm to share too. I’m comfortable with silences, so we can enjoy each other’s company without having to force conversation.

Gaming is a big hobby of mine. I mainly play on PC, alongside a PS5 and Switch 2. Nintendo has a special place in my heart, and Ocarina of Time has been my favourite since childhood. Hearing its music at a Zelda symphony in London is still a lovely memory.

The rest of my top five are Donkey Kong Country 2, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the original Resident Evil 4 (although the remake is very close!) and a heavily modded Fallout: New Vegas.

I’d love to share favourite games and discover new ones together. I’m patient when co-op goes spectacularly wrong and happy to laugh and try again. I will absolutely steal your Mario Party stars, though 😏

I’m also a bit of a night owl. I love the kind of voice chat where we’ve finished playing, someone says “I should probably head to bed,” and somehow we’re still talking half an hour later. Tell me about your day, show me something you’ve made, or introduce me to your latest obsession.

Music-wise, it’s usually game soundtracks, drum and bass or synthwave. The Midnight are my favourite band, and I’d happily exchange favourite songs with you 😁

Away from gaming, I enjoy woodland walks and hiking somewhere with a view. I also like baking, although that’s mostly an excuse to make homemade pizza! Making one together, then curling up with a horror film, sounds like an excellent evening. The Thing (the one from 1982!) is my favourite.

I live alone in a cosy flat and I’m very close with my small family. I also do two hours of Pilates every week. Apparently gaming posture doesn’t correct itself 😆

I’m autistic and comfortable in my own skin. I appreciate clear, kind communication, playful teasing and affection that goes both ways.

I enjoy fixing electronics. I’m currently not working and am looking into training as an electrician.

I’m particularly drawn to feminine women, and sharing my enthusiasm for gaming would be a big plus. Ideally, you’d be based in the UK. I’m open to distance if there’s a realistic way for us to spend time together in person, with calls and games between visits. I don’t currently drive, so I’d be travelling by bus or train. Eventually, visiting Super Nintendo World together would be a lovely adventure.

Tell me a little about yourself and a game or song you’d love to introduce me to 😊

P.S. Here’s a photo of me and a voice preview if you’re curious.

Hello to everyone reading this,

Thought to give this a try and see if I can find someone whom I can annoy, pamper and pour my love on.

I am not really good with writing about my thoughts, I used to be amazing but life happens to all of us.

Soooooo, here I go..

I am 33 Years old Man who is decently tall, I’m 6’1 (185 cm), and Someone who has seen the harder part of the life more than the good but I still believe. I think of me as a person who is humble and open minded.

I do take a little time to get comfortable. But once I feel totally comfortable with someone, they will probably discover the goofy, affectionate, cheesy and cheeky, mildly chaotic version of me hiding underneath. I am very cheeky tho, so consider yourself warned lol

I genuinely want to fall in love. I'd rather meet someone, build a friendship, fall in love, and slowly create a life together.

Totally a 90s kid at heart. I value loyalty, consistency, effort and simply being there for someone I am a weird mix of old school and modern thoughts and ideologies.

Photography is my way to express my emotions and I am planning on doing more of it. I love photographing places, people, random moments and little details that usually go unnoticed.

I’ve recently been laid off, lost my job and looking for a new job actively. I've also realised that I don't want my entire life to revolve around work, designations or milestones.

Soo these days I’ll also actively pursue things like riding my bike, checking out some new amazing cafés, going for a long walk, travelling somewhere for a week or so or watching a good series.

I love gaming, I used to do Competitive CS gaming when I was 15 yrs. old with my friend. I love travelling, I wanna travel more in coming years, both planned and unplanned trips. A road trip, a new place, good food, a great playlist and the right company can make even a fairly ordinary weekend memorable. Solo travelling is also a plan.

A lot of what I understand about women, their respect, kindness and treating people well comes from watching and learning from my sister.

Now comes the part where I tell what I am looking for,

There is never a perfect fit, I don’t want my woman to fit into my life, I really want her to have her own life too, Its better that way when freedom is not taken away just because some things don’t sit well.

I would really want both of us to have our own careers, friendships, ambitions and identities, while still choosing each other every day. Her dreams would matter to me just as much as mine. I would want us to encourage each other, challenge each other when needed, celebrate each other's wins and be each other's safe place when life gets difficult

I'm not looking for perfection. Honestly, perfect sounds exhausting.

Kindness, emotional maturity, honesty, loyalty and genuine effort matter much more to me.

Initial attraction for me matters a bit to me, people who say that looks don’t matter for then are most probably lying, I would want someone to complement me. Its not everything but it’s something.

To have someone with whom I can talk about life late at night. Someone who can be my partner, but also my best friend. Because I genuinely believe that when friendship exists underneath a relationship, you have something much stronger to hold on to.

I'll remember something you casually mentioned months ago and bring it up when you've completely forgotten telling me.

And if I really like you, unfortunately, you'll probably receive an increased dose of my nonsense. Consider yourself warned.

I don't think relationships are about getting everything right all the time. People change. Life gets messy. Sometimes we're going to misunderstand each other, have bad days, disagree over stupid things and occasionally drive each other crazy.

I'm not looking for a fairy tale life but I would like to have a good life with the person I get to choose.

I look for someone who believes effort should go both ways. I’ve been a victim of unrequited love.

I think I’ll stop here as it has gotten way long. My apologies

If anything from what I wrote made way to your heart or resonated with you, feel free to say a HI.

Lets have a good conversation. . Thanks for Reading, I hope you’ll have an amazing day

My name's Annie. I am mostly looking for my other half. Someone to spend time with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games, I've recently been very into Life is Strange). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions! (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, is a hotdog a sandwich? why, or why not?). Please, preferably no one over 24.

Hey there!

I'm a 40-year-old guy from Texas, and I've decided to throw caution to the wind and see if Reddit can help me find someone special. Dating apps haven't exactly been a roaring success, so why not try something different?

A little about me

I'm a pretty introverted, somewhat nerdy guy who works in IT. I'm the kind of person who can be perfectly content spending an evening at home gaming, watching something together, or just talking about absolutely nothing for hours.

I'm a single dad to a teenager, a dog dad to a golden retriever, and the reluctant servant of two cats. So life is never entirely boring around here.

Gaming has always been one of my biggest hobbies. I've spent plenty of time in MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft, and I enjoy RPGs and other games too. Having someone to game with would be awesome, but it's definitely not a requirement.

I'm also someone who's been working pretty hard on improving himself lately. I've made some major changes to my health and lifestyle, and I'm trying to push myself to experience more of what life has to offer. I'd love to travel more, especially to Japan someday.

Personality-wise, I'm an introvert until I get comfortable with someone. Then you might have trouble getting me to shut up. I love random conversations, silly jokes, affectionate teasing, and sharing all the little things that happen throughout the day.

What I'm looking for

More than anything, I want a genuine connection.

I want someone who actually looks forward to hearing from me. Someone I can send a ridiculous meme to in the middle of the workday, spend an evening gaming with, or stay up way too late talking to about life.

I love affection, both giving and receiving it, and I'm definitely a bit of a romantic at heart.

I'm not expecting us to be attached at the hip or spend every waking moment together. We should both have our own lives, hobbies, and interests. But I'd love to find someone who genuinely wants to make room for each other in those lives.

Communication is really important to me. I'd much rather have an awkward but honest conversation than play guessing games about how someone feels.

I don't care if you're a little awkward, nerdy, shy, or unconventional. In fact, we'd probably get along pretty well.

A few more things

I'm a bigger guy, though I've been steadily losing weight and working on getting healthier. I'm not going to pretend I'm some fitness model, but I'm proud of the progress I've made.

I'm open to long-distance connections, especially if there's genuine potential for something more eventually. I don't expect everything to happen overnight.

I don't have some enormous checklist of requirements. Physical attraction matters, sure, but kindness, affection, humor, and actually enjoying each other's company matter a whole lot more to me.

If you've made it this far...

Tell me a little about yourself! What games are you playing lately? What's something you're ridiculously passionate about? Or what's a random little thing that always makes your day better?

I'd love to hear from you. Maybe we'll hit it off, maybe we'll just have a fun conversation. Either way, I'm glad you stopped by. :)

hi hi lovely people!! I'll cut straight to the meat and potatoes, I'm in search of something long-term. In a nutshell, my ideal relationship would involve role reversal and the cg/l dynamic. I love the idea of being stay-at-home, taking care of household chores, working from home and doing whatever I can to make my partner's life easier! I'm definitely a bit on the sensitive side, and I really like being babied and cared for. I think I also get pretty clingy once I'm attached to someone.

I'm quite flexible appearance-wise, I can do both masc and fem styles pretty well and don't mind dressing however you'd like me to. The only thing I wouldn't want to change about my appearance is my long hair!

I find a lot of value in the little things like spending time together, and I think games can be a great way to bond. I play mostly on PC and love hanging out in open-world co-op exploration/puzzle games, going on cute virtual dates and just having a good time while talking on a call! ^^

To name a few, lately I've been enjoying playing Peak a lot, I love the Alpine map! Some other games I enjoy are Big Walk, Raft, Fall Guys, Scrap Mechanic, Human Fall Flat, We Were Here, probably a bunch more I can't recall. And I'm often too scared to play certain games alone, like The Forest and Phasmophobia, but I like playing them a lot with friends! I also like watching TV shows, I recently got done with Ludwig, and I've now been watching The Celebrity Traitors UK!

I'm a pretty big computer nerd and electronics hobbyist, have my own homelab, love building PCs, messing around with networking, virtual machines, RC vehicles, hardware hacking, you name it! I'm also very careful with my privacy, I don't use any service along the lines of google, apple, social media or even a SIM card for that matter :P

Oh! And did I mention how much I love cats? I don't have any pets for now unfortunately, but every time I'm outside and see a kitty, I have to go pet it! Sometimes I meet super clingy cats that don't let me go back home hehe. I really like geckos too, they're so adorable.

Anyways, hope it wasn't too long of a read, you can probably tell I'm a professional yapper, but I do know how to keep my mouth shut, I promise! Toodles <3

Disclaimer: I am only looking for people local to areas around Seattle/Everett/Bellevue!

I am a curvy INFJ lady on a pilgrimage to finding a new social group and a relationship! I figured I'd give it a shot here.

A little bit about me:

I recently moved from San Diego and am now a resident enrichment coordinator/manager at a memory care community where I am working to better the lives of people who will never truly remember me! It's all fine an dandy, we have a great time regardless. In my free time, mostly Fridays and Saturdays, I'd love to find someone to game, voice, and commit shenanigans in the city with. I have two degrees in Psychology and Communication, and am debt-free, moisturized, and in my lane, existing! I own a senior cat and he continues to defy death at the ripe age of eighteen. I do not drink, smoke, do drugs or party much! I am like a little decrepit old hag trapped in the body of a young woman, slaving over a hot stove (cast iron only.) I am on the expensive zepbound, so I can't eat as much as I used to!

Values:

Time, Kindness, stability, structure, mindfulness, empathy, ambition, communication and of course, humor~

What I am looking for:

I love to voice! It's so important to have great verbal chemistry. I'm hoping to meet someone who loves to talk as much as they enjoy sitting in silence doing their own thing, sharing each other's company when we're just flat out exhausted. Ideally, we can roleplay, game, go out on the town, and maybe do a little bit of movie watching too! I love to watch period dramas, animes, horror movies and comedies alike. I'm not necessarily looking to rush into anything, as I'd rather meet someone and see where things lead. My ideal life is living right outside my small town in the woodlands, in a two bed two bath house with wifi and enough ice water / freeze dried mangoes to satiate me. Boring is sometimes good in the realm of predictability and structure.

Age wise, someone between the ages of 28-38 is ideal, past their college years, and looking to build a life of comedically predictable bliss!

Superficially, I'm really into someone who could tower over me and defend my pizza takeout from the downtown midnight scallywags. I have a huge weakness for a good sense of business functional fashion!

Deal Breakers:

Not enough time to invest, anger issues/yelling of any sort, smoking, drinking to cope (social okay), drugs, lack of communication, financial irresponsibility, polygamy, dishonesty, racism, overly religious, I do not wish to have kids.

Games:

No Rest for the Wicked, Elden Ring Seamless Coop, Second Life, Stardew Valley, Witcher 3, Guild Wars 2, Warframe, Assassin's Creed, Peak, Divinity OS2, Baldur's Gate, Valheim, and much more!

Hobbies:

Roleplaying (one person only), Going to carnivals, rock hounding, (I want to hike but don't yet.), tons of games, writing my own lore/world, exploration, travel (if I can afford it), design, cooking (lots of different cultures!), volunteering, creating a cozy existence, and more to uncover!

Here is my face! <3 https://imgur.com/a/26bO3EO

Hello! My name is Kevin, and if I had to describe myself in one word, it would be bad at following directions. I have a black belt at saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. I’m big, hairy, and unintentionally loud. I’m hangry in the mornings and a cuddle powerhouse in the afternoon. I may look intimidating, but I’m actually a big softy on the inside. 

I give the best hugs, and 9/10 cats say I make a great cuddle partner. The tenth cat is a real jerk. I don’t like confrontation, but come after my people and I’m a force of nature. Napping is a top five favourite activity. Feed me and I’m loyal to you forever. Back scratches are accepted currency in my life. I have experienced the many flavors of abuse and trauma, and would rather die than have someone in my life go through similar experiences unsupported. I am fiercely protective of those in my circle!

I give off real “That is the nerdiest lumberjack I’ve ever seen” vibes. That, or I reignite belief in cryptids like Sasquatch & Bigfoot. It is what it is, hence the bear metaphor fitting nicely. I’m 6’4” and have a pretty well developed dad bod. I’d much rather be cold than hot, so bring on the winter weather! I am also the kind of guy to interrupt whatever conversation we may be having to point out any dogs in the area, even if I am more of a cat dad. 

This hairy goof is looking for a lovely woman to connect with, be it over the internet or in person. Long chats into the early morning hours, movie nights, fun outings, trying new restaurants or recipes, I’m all in. Let’s get cozy cuddling under some blankets or playing some games online and see where things go?

I’m not looking to rush into anything, but I am yearning for that deeper connection and intimacy that comes with trust, familiarity, and vulnerability. I crave movie and board game nights, or days spent exploring new neighborhoods and cuisines. I believe in a healthy mix of time spent together and apart, and that we should both be complete people looking to enhance each other’s lives. I’m ready! Hopefully you are too!

I’m a simple, easy to please man at heart. Food, animals, movies, and a board game are the way to my everlasting love. I am a big time history and sci-fi nerd.  I was raised by a single mom and have a deep respect for strong women, which I also attribute to my love of characters such as Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley, & Xena. This combined with such figures as Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, & Steve Irwing gave me a pretty well rounded outlook. You could say I was radicalized by basic human decency. 

As for some other interests I volunteer with local animal rescues in several capacities, and I am also getting involved with the local hospital’s library program. If you want cute cat pictures, I’m your man! I run an active tabletop gaming group every Sunday. I’m the kind of nerd that builds and paints models to escape from the world for a while. 

I am very left leaning politically and do not tolerate any forms of bigotry. I do not smoke and very rarely drink, but I do love my baked goods a little too much. I do not have nor want any children of my own. My ambitions are humble but deeply personal; give me a small house, a loving partner, and some rescue animals and I’m more than happy with life!

Hi there! I’m 27F in Phoenix, AZ. I am seeking someone in Arizona. I am looking for something serious !!

About me: office job, cat. Leftist, monogamist, childfree. I am plus-size (5’6”, 230 lbs) and white/asian (but look white). Currently living with my family (cannot host shenanigans). I enjoy baking, music and concerts, video games, crafting, and going new places.

Ideally looking for: someone local to Arizona. someone who is also leftist, monogamist, and childfree. Someone who is interested in building up to a relationship. I prefer under 33.

Some more fun info to sound less intense: I love cozy gaming and grew up on farming sims. I would love a horror/thriller movie cuddle buddy. I work in science!

Feel free to send me a message or chat (:

28M4F Looking for someone as my forever wedding date / someone to do the dishes for. #NYC and or #online

Putting #online since I’m figuring why not it’s a big wide world out there.

I’m 28 M in NYC so locals are welcome but so is Antarctica.

I’m horrible at the about me stuff so I’m going to be my best:
Yes I have J.O.B so I’m not covered in Cheeto dust doing nothing like Reddit would suggest.
10 countries and counting and all around the USA
I love running, following sports \\\[ let’s go Knicks we did it yay \\\] , reading is my passion and aiming for 7 books a year if work doesn’t get in the way.
Currently obsessed with weekend food crawls to try new dishes and expand my pallet away from the typical just chicken and beef on rotation.

I’m happy to swap photos on connecting or waiting a bit but brief descriptor im 5’9 \\\[175cm\\\] and in good shape. Brown hair and eyes and white.

If you’re interested shoot me a message here on the chat feature and I look forward to connecting. Just shoot me a brief hey I saw your post and your age and we can get to yapping.

Want someone to get closer to you than anyone ever has? Someone who digs deep and wants all the details? Want to pour out everything to someone who will listen?

Do you want me to ask about everything? How much do you want me to know? What if I learned everything about you? Could you teach me how you want to be loved? Tell me how to make you fall in love? Maybe it could actually work. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Tell me whatever you’d like

First, to be clear about location: I'm based in the Southeastern region of the USA. It would be amazing if my person is within driving distance in the same region, but for a number of reasons I have my doubts that's true. Country music, fashion, and that accent some of you may think is specific to Texas if you're reading this from another country, are all very common here and sadly those are all turn offs for me. That said, I think if my soulmate is even in the USA, she's probably in the north, west, or midwest. If by the end of this post, you think you might be the one I'm looking for and I might be the one you're looking for, you don't have to be in the USA to find out. 😁

(My profile is tagged because of one of the places I post this to since some have actually had luck finding something serious there. Figured it's worth a shot, haha.)

I'm searching for the kind of wonderful woman who shares most of my interests below in addition to her hobbies and interests, who's also goofy, likes to playfully insult each other, and also believes in open and honest communication. I believe with that, we can work out any problems when they arise. 💛

• I'm a gamer, car guy, and maybe one day, a musician too. I enjoy anime, nature, going on little adventures, swimming, traveling... I wanna see the world with you.

- Current games I've focused on lately are R.E.P.O., Deep Rock Galactic, and trying to 100% Doom Eternal, but this changes and there are tons of multiplayer games in my library! I would also eventually like to play other things together like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Terraria, etc.

- My taste is music is nearly everything except country and today's rap. To name a few bands/musicians I really love: Led Zeppelin, Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Queens of the Stone Age, Mac Demarco, Them Crooked Vultures, and Metronomy.

• I want to dance with you. In the living room, bedroom, back yard, in the park, almost anywhere. I enjoy doing romantic things and expressing my love. I love deep conversations that distract us from the passing of time.

• I'm a dog person because my allergies chose to target cats for whatever reason, so there's that. 😅

• I'm monogamous and don't have children currently, but they're in my future plans. I want to spend plenty of time with you, and enjoy the best of life as a couple, and then as spouses, traveling and whatnot, before we start a family. 🤗

• I'm really hoping to find someone who's also into dirty humor (amongst other forms of humor) and has mutual...interests 😏 so we have even better compatibility in the bedroom (and sometimes away from home too). I usually have a high libido, but making sure we both feel safe and trust one another first is crucial. 😁

• Specs for those who would like them:

- 6 feet tall (about 183 cm).

- 190 lbs and dropping (about 86 kg).

- My figure is very dad-bod at the moment, but apparently it comes with a nice ass (so I'm told).

- I'm targeting somewhere around 170 lbs (about 77 kg).

- Brunette/dirty blonde, kept relatively short.

- Blue eyes.

- Caucasian.

• My type? If I had to describe my type, I guess Caucasian or East Asian ranging from petite to average body type. I don't love going to the gym, but if you have or want a membership I wouldn't mind going together. 😁

I apologize if my preferences differ from who you are. You're all beautiful people, regardless! Please love yourself and enjoy the time you're given in life! 💛

Chat with ya soon! 😁

Hey, its me Jonathan nice to meet you everyone. Im endlessly curious and love learning about everything, history, hobbies and everything

I'm looking someone who a goofball, love the little things, a bit like me when it comes to nerdyness otherwise im going to be torturing about my stuff 😂 I also appreciate empathy greatly.

Cool facts about me im a ginger, ive ran a 100k ultra marathon, ive built my pc, I do content creation and livestreaming to a community, im deeply passionate and compassionate about people and my hobbies,

I want to find my best friend, someone who gets as excited about the little things and the bigger things. Someone who loves being a couch potato but also loves at times going for epic adventures not knowing where it takes us.

Heyoo! Okay so, just doing this off the cuff: Am a 36 year old guy from Finland who's looking for that one special person. I'm basically after a mutual "nerdy homebody meets sporadic activity" -vibe, so a lot of gaming, reading, and binging stuff - but without forgetting the sporadic random expeditions to balance it out.

I value emotional availability, transparency, and good communication skills - though I also like spontaneity, chaotic tendencies, and being open to experience. Having a passion or niche interest is super cool! Just wanna click and go from there slowly; the good ol' frens to lovers pipeline.

So, what else? I'm 6'2, slim, and youthful. Don't smoke and almost never drink, but don't care as long you don't smoke cigs. Child-free as well! I tend to be a bit asocial yet really present and yap-heavy 1-on-1 when invested. I do still have my sporadic outgoing sprees - when I am on, I am on. I've been called a cat maaany times; if you get it, you get it.

I'm also active in bursts; I do yoga and run a lot, but only like to go out when the UV rays stop bullying me, so night-runs/walks are where it's at. Or stuff like attending gigs! Generally into cultural stuff like opera, theatre, museums, etc. By default, though - I like being holed up at home watching stuff and gaming and such. c:

Gaming-wise? I started another Cyberpunk run due to the Edgerunners patch! Also been doing my autumnal once-a-year replay of Bloodborne while still on my 1st Onimusha PT. OW and WuWa are also some usual suspects. I'm honestly super genre-agnostic, though I've dumped yeeears into MMOs - will be nolifing WoW Forever as well. Also into WH, board games, and DnD!

I love gothic horror lit/films, high fantasy, and steampunky/cyberpunky stuff in general. Can't forget the romance stuff either though (anime included!) Now that it's darker and atmospheric again, it's a super immersive time to read while having some music on.

Speaking of music: it stays on. I'm into everything, but I did write for a metal mag in the past. Lately, I've been binging Baroque music in general, Kate Bush, Dead Can Dance, Summoning, post-black/blackgaze, and goth rocky stuff. Spotify jam seshes? Bet! Also, I do have a degree related to the Japanese language and love linguistics.

So yeah, just hit me up if you're in that 23-45ish~ age range. I am only looking for someone within Europe - unless you're open to relocating here. Thanks for reading! 💜

Heya! It’s really nice to meet you! I’m from Sydney, Australia, and I’m looking to meet someone genuine and to form a real bond with someone. It can start as great friendship that grows organically, built on mutual trust and respect with consistency and just genuine care! I am truly looking for my player two and that fully embraces who I am, and what I stand for.

I am a little shy at first but once I do open up to you, I believe I am warm, caring, truly loyal and someone who will be with you, whatever your mood or situation will be. I have a large heart that’s honestly filled with a lot of love and respect for those closest to me. I honestly believe that the right partner is someone that can communicate excellently, working through all the details to try and make a middle ground in a nice and safe space for everyone. I value loyalty a lot, and fully embracing my partners full personality, making sure they know they are cared, and loved for.

What I look like: I am of European descent (predominantly Polish) so I have pretty light skin. I’m about 184cm tall (about 6foot1) with light brown hair and light blue eyes! I am also pretty lean.

What’s my personality like?: I am kind, loyal, sweet, and quite sarcastic with a wide sense of humour having some of the most obscure jokes and references trying to bring light to the world. I am quite loyal and protective so that does mean I tend to overthink A LOT and I’m quite self aware but I truly do love deep and I believe that communication is absolutely key!

Lifestyle: I am a non smoker, never used drugs, and don’t like the taste of alcohol (though I do drink casually, to celebrate something). For me a drug free and smoker free is essential.

Career Goals: I am currently studying a bachelor of IT at a university in Sydney though I do want to work in the sales or tech sector someday soon! I have experience working in tech sales and I love meeting new people, even though I’m quite shy so I have to put on a brave face haha.

Interests + Hobbies

\- Collecting (I’ve always loved collecting pokemon TCG, since I’ve been little)

\- Video Games (I play honestly a bit too many games from a wide variety of topics with my favorite being any Nintendo game (mainly pokemon) to JRPGS, racing games and way more

\- Tennis (I play tennis occasionally with family though I use to do competition for a few years and still love watching the grand slams!

\- Camping (I am a huge camping fan, I love exploring the outdoors and going off the beaten trails to find some awesome remote spot and chill!)

\- Kayaking and Cycling

\- Cars/Motorbikes/Planes (Always been a car guy and love almost everything about them! I have my car and motorbike license plus hopefully one day a pilots license 🙏)

\- Formula 1

\- Skiing

Interesting fun facts and Quirks

\- Favourite animals are sharks and birds with the Spotted Wobbegong being my favourite animal

\- I speak two languages, plus trying to learn two more

\- Not a foodie at all

\- Sitcome lover 📺

\- Wide music taste 🎵

\- Love the cold weather and snow so much!! ❄️

Anyways, if anything resonates with you or something hits your fancy, feel free to send me a message! I am open to long distance as well. Thank you for reading my post though!!

Hey! I’m 28, from Valtellina in northern Italy. I’m an introvert, and my friends would probably describe me as smart and opinionated (I’ll let you decide whether that’s a good thing 😄).

I’m into everything from Tchaikovsky to Pantera, Tool and Death. I love David Lynch’s films, my favourite movie is Wild Strawberries, and I spend far too much time playing strategy games. I’ve also watched every F1 race since 2013.

I’d love to meet someone to watch movies with, cook together, eat ice cream while wandering around a city, travel across Europe and have long conversations about what’s happening in the world.
I’m childfree but I would be open to having kids with the right person and looking to meet someone aged 24–32 who’d like to see where things go, hopefully leading to a long-term relationship.

I’m based in northern Italy, open to meeting someone elsewhere in the EU, Switzerland or Norway, and willing to relocate for the right person.
If you think we might get along, tell me a little about yourself! What’s a movie, song or topic you could talk about for hours? :)

Hi! I feel nervous and shy putting myself out there, given how convoluted the dating scene is. I'd like to skip past all the nonsense and build a real connection with someone, uninfluenced by our pasts and the world around us. I crave meaningful conversations, silliness and genuine affection. I just want to find my introverted weirdo with a dark sense of humor, interests and values similar to mine. Someone to match my freak, so to speak. Really sort of like finding my other half, and coming home. Someone to look forward to everyday. I want to live a quiet and adventurous life where we travel and immerse ourselves in all the world has to offer, yet still savor the comfort of quiet, cozy days at home most days.

Writing about myself is the bane of my existence, so here I will display the stats: I'm childfree, atheist, and politically left-leaning. I'm black American, plus-size, around 5'6" (167 cm) tall, long dark brown hair, big dark brown eyes, and always wearing glasses. (See here.) I'm curious about the world and about people I care about. I'm someone who sometimes has too many thoughts, but doesn't like to fret over the small things in life. I may sound really serious, but I'm actually quite goofy and non-serious on the inside. 😄 Some of my interests include technology, writing, photography, horror, psychology, video games, anime, true crime, philosophy, history, astronomy, sociology, biology, reading, and traveling. Music-wise, I adore alternative/indie pop, electronic pop, classic rock, hip-hop and R&B.

I like to be romantic and affectionate with my partner.

Emotional intelligence, communication, empathy, patience, and understanding are incredibly important to me.

I adore shy, reserved, tall, tech/science nerdy men who love to write, and yap once they open up.

I'm (non-negotiable) looking for someone who is: single, monogamous, childfree (meaning no offspring and no desire for offspring), never m arried, emotionally available (including not being hung up on a past romantic interest, or recently out of a relationship), politically left-leaning, and non-religious. Near my age (25-33—not younger, not older.)

I'm currently in the southeast US, but I'm not really attached to the area, or like the stereotypes. Whether my niche person be somewhere across the sea, or somewhere closer to home (but just so happens to be reading this post..) I'm fine with distances, but please be able/willing to meet in-person, and from the USA, Canada, or Europe.

If this resonates with you and you think we might match, send me a message! Tell me about yourself, maybe include a photo of yourself, and the phrase "over the moon!" somewhere in your message so I know you've read this post in full.

I look forward to getting to know you. 🌹✨

​

Hey there, beautiful stranger, welcome to my circus.

I’m a 28 year old guy from the world famous country of Bosnia and Herzegovina (just pretend you’ve heard of it, small place, big energy). I come with terrible jokes, random pocket tools and snacks, and just enough trouble to keep things interesting.

I love art and music (my playlist is a mess, Bach and Tupac jamming to Eminem while Bob Marley is chasing pirates or something so please don't ask about it). Jazz clubs, museums, and mountains are where my heart lives. I like visiting new cities, trying new cuisines, and finding moments of tranquility amid the chaos. Also, I absolutely love movies and books (wow, super unique, please be impressed) . Physically, I'm tall, my eyes still kinda work, and girls said I have a nice butt. You could also check my post history to get better idea about my looks (spoiler alert: no butt pictures tho, gotta leave something to the imagination.. or later). I'm also open for a photo exchange so feel free to send some my way if that's your cup of hot chocolate.

I also have a cute hamster named Captain Hamsterstein. He’s small, judgmental, and impossible to compete with but you’ll try.

As I'm still kinda not sure about all this and have no idea how anything really works here, I'll keep my options open for whatever. So, looking for a friend? I'm your man. Need a shoulder to cry? Still your man. Memes exchange? Hell yeah! Relationship? Tell me what kind of restaurant you fancy for our date. Wedding? The suit is ready. Nonsense flirting? Count me in. Serious talks? Let me put my smart face on.

Simply put, I’m looking for someone to vibe with. Someone I can talk to about anything, tease a little, laugh a lot, and also get serious with when the lights go low. Someone who challenges me, sharpens me, and upgrades my meme collection. Also, If you have a cat, I’m already all yours (don’t tell the Captain).

I'm not really good at talking about myself (duh) so I'll just leave that part for you to ask about whatever you're interested in.

Also (yeah, I say “also” too much), If you’re still reading, I’ve gotta ask: what’s wrong with you?

(Whatever it is… I like it.)

Keep in mind that our timezones may be different so there's a possibility that I won't be able to answer immediately but I'll try my best to get to you as soon as possible.

Message me whenever, however you want, just know there’s a high chance of flirting, sarcasm, and late-night conversations that go a little deeper than planned. Just behave yourself cause I am legally allowed to handcuff you (again, don't ask).

Meanwhile, have a lovely day or night or whatever and take care!

PS, don't text me if you're only into my kidneys, I have only 5 left. And no, you can't have them.

Hello everyone I'm a alt nerdy guy who hopes to find his special someone. I want to be the Watson to your Sherlock, The Sam to your Frodo, the ghost to your guardian. I want to be at your side on your adventures and through life. Loyal and willing to go with you to the end. I want to help lighten your burden and be there for you when you need it. After all a relationship is more than being there for each other through the good times.

I'm willing to move. Whether that's a different state city or a different country.

I love history. I think it's incredibly important otherwise we're doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. I also love to learn mythology and other beliefs. It gives such a fascinating view and insight into our world. Along with having a deep interest in philosophy throughout the ages too.

I adore going to conventions. I've been going to the one in Phoenix since I was 8 and have only missed one year since then. I've also been to the one in San Diego and two in Savannah Georgia while I attended college there for two years. I'm currently trying to get into cosplay.

Now a bit about me. I'm sure you've guessed that I am indeed a bit of a nerd. I'm a sucker for gaming both board and video. I love reading, especially comics. I do hope one day to be a published author even if it only a short story or a few comic issues. I'm also an artist. I draw, sometimes paint, and every now and again create some 3d art out of things lying around. I enjoy shows and movies as well. Of all kinds. I try to explore as many genres as I can in all forms of media. You never know when a new piece in a genre you wouldn't typically try will become a favorite. Or change you.

As far as comics go, John Constantine is by far my favorite character, especially his original Vertigo run. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Batman and Captain America. But I just love how dark, weird, and interesting more obscure characters like Constantine can be. Though V for Vendetta is my favorite story followed closely behind by DMZ.

I adore horror. I love the feeling of adrenaline it gives. The way that even slashers depict female characters. Often being far more complex and interesting then many of their other counter parts. From the likes of Ripley to what you'll find in 10 Cloverfield lane, Smile, Prey and so many others. To horror's willingness to explore controversial parts of life that no other media seems willing to touch such as mental health. I love how well it mixes with other genres such as historical fiction, comedy, Fantasy, Sci Fi. I also adore a good mystery. A story that unfolds as it goes along.

And for games I have so many different ones I love. But to name a few the BioShock franchise. I adore Mass Effect going so far as having ink for it. Life is Strange. Halo, Dead Space the franchise which awakened my love of the horror genre. To co-op ones like Space Marine 2, Destiny and many others. Lots of RPG's too. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Avowed, BG and many more. I play on Xbox, PS5, PC, and switch.

I adore alternative music like Grandson and Royal and the Serpent. And I love going to concerts. Though my musical taste can be all over the place. From Alt to Soundtracks to Phonk to lo fi to classical. Bring me The Horizon is so good too.

I also love going out and exploring the world with others. Especially someone special. Seeing Museums, galleries, parks you name it. Learning new history and subjects. Seeing new places and countries when I can manage it. Love going to concerts.

As a person though psychically I'm on the short side. I'm fit with some muscle though definitely leaning towards a more feminine body type. I'm definitely alt with asymmetrical long hair. Plenty of tattoos and piercings and plans for more. I usually wear a lot of black and grey. With some color depending on the situation. I've been told I have very pretty eye lashes. And I'm willing to trade pics when we're both ready.

For personality I'm an odd mix of pessimism and optimism. I can very peppy for the people I care about. I will always be there for them when they need me. Whether that's listening to them and giving advice. To spending time with them or to helping them out. I take great pride in helping others and one day hope to work with young adults with trauma and are neurodivergent. I've been told I'm very good at it and it's a field in need. I am also myself Neurodivergent which is worth putting out there.

I'm about as liberal as it gets And agnostic. Which doesn't mean I have any problem with those that are religious. I just ask that you respect me as I will you.

I'm a big supporter of women's and LGBTQ rights. We are all human and deserve to be treated as such. They deserve every single right that I do as a man.

If I sound like someone you'd be interested in I hope to hear from you. And I do have a discord we can shift to eventually and most of the other messaging apps. Or if not but you still took the time to read this. I hope that you have a great day and you find your someone. Though there doesn't seem to be quite an option for a tag. I am also okay with Trans men and none binary folks. And thank you if you're read this whole thing. I realize it's a bit long. but I figure it's better longer then shorter. that way you know what you're getting into it if you're interested.

Hey all. I'm 38 years old, 6'2 and 180 lbs. Location wise, I'm in western Washington. Kind of on the introverted side, but not so introverted that I'm stuck inside all day, and always willing to go on an adventure.

Have tons of hobbies, some nerdy, such as video games, MtG, and watching anime, but I also like to touch grass by going out for walks, bowl, bake some snacks, and hang with friends. I live by myself, have a good paying job and work schedule, working car, and a cat that doesn't like other people. (Sorry cat lovers/haters) I'm 420 friendly, but more of an edible enjoyer than a smoker, and I like making my own edibles, so more to enjoy.

What I'm looking for is someone from around 29-42, someone nearby, similar interests, don't mind if you're a yapper, if you don't mind that I'm not, doesn't try to attach to my hip immediately, and doesn't start trauma dumping on first site. (This has happened more than once, I appreciate openness, but time and place for everything)

If you think we'd be a good match, just hit up my inbox about yourself. I should note, I'm not terminally online, so don't expect a response immediately.

Howdy, the name's Chance, I'm a 25 year old Indigenous Canadian who loves Music, Worldbuilding and Gaming.

About Chance:

• I'm a huge melophile, with a particular love of music that came out before I was born, anything from the 60s to 80s and a little bit of 90s, I love. Only downside, I'm not quite fond of today's music, though there are some outliers, but for the most part I'd rather comb through obscure or underrated r&b bands of years past.

• I love Worldbuilding, I enjoy coming up with story ideas, characters and worlds for those characters and stories to be set in, I have several story ideas, and worlds I'm still developing, please ask me about them.

• I'm a gamer, that's no secret, I'm mostly a fan of singleplayer story driven RPGs but I frequently play multiplayer, currently I'm playing Marvel Rivals, Fallout 76, Dead By Daylight, The Finals, and sometimes Fortnite. I play on PC, Xbox, and have a PS5 that i play Outlast Trials on, feel free to ask for any of my usernames for either console, I would definitely love a Player 2.

• I'm also looking to get into TTRPGs like DnD so if you play and have any tips or even want me to play in a campaign, i would love to join, I'd need help though since I'm less then a novice.

• I'm not really sure how to describe my personality, that's really up for you to decide, however I do try to be respectful, and not ask too many personal questions, and people I hang out with often say I'm kind and chill, so there's that.

• In terms of what I'm looking for, I'm not picky, as long as you're respectful, and kind.

• Though if you we're to have the same interests, or at least share some interests, you might honestly be the one.

• When not listening to music, playing games, or worldbuilding, I'm watching anime or reading manga, I'm not much into stuff like JJK, Dragon Ball, AoT, Tokyo Ghoul or Chainsaw Man, I'm more into Slice-of-Life, Comedy, Romance and maybe some Supernatural stuff. My guilty pleasure has to be Isekai/Fantasy Slop, just the most generic formulaic overpowered MC garbage, i can't get enough.

• Also the Hughie from The Boys thing comes from my growing collection of band shirts, I'm literally a walking advertisement for some of my favorite bands.

My Flaws (I feel you should know about these beforehand):

• I'm very self conscious, and frequently overthink, I worry about what people think about me and often talk bad about myself. It's bad I know and I'm trying to take steps to stop myself from being like this.

• I'm very forgetful, I often forget stuff people tell me a few minutes prior, and if you tell me something important I may get distracted by something and completely forget what I was just told.

• I'm a very socially awkward person, I'm not the best at conversation, I also fear I'll say the wrong thing and make things awkward, so if it happens, let me know otherwise I won't notice.

• I'm very inexperienced in romance, I wasn't exactly popular in high school so I never really got to experience anything like it, and when I did it didn't last, so I would appreciate it if you could be patient with me as I'm still trying to learn.

Don't know if I'll find anyone, but this will be here in case someone stumbles upon it and I pique their interest.

Hi r/ForeverAloneDating! 👋

I'm Jess, a tech marketer based in the USA. Currently on the West Coast but moving back to the East Coast in a few months. I've had my fair share of Reddit chats, connections, experiences, but figured I'd try again to see if something more long-term is out there.

I'm ultimately looking for a long-term, monogamous, romantic connection. Location doesn't really matter to me at the moment but it's not something I'd want to do forever. Ultimately looking for someone that adds to my life and makes it even more fun than it already is.

So, what about me?

I'm an eldest daughter, have a cat, enjoy a pretty robust social life, and a decent chunk of hobbies. I will also add I am an ambivert, but can skew more social, and am the general organizer of my friend groups. My friends would say I'm loyal, witty, caring, kind, and definitely a nerd. Some of my interests include:

Reading (recently finished Demon Copperhead), though the TBR is never-ending and See You Next Tuesday is vying for some reading and the audiobook at the moment is One Hundred Years of Solitude. I pretty much read most genres but enjoy contemporary fiction, historical fiction, romance, and sci-fi/fantasy.

Travel, which I still don't have my next trip planned outside the US but there's plenty I want to explore! Next non-work trip is with a friend to NYC to see a bunch of Broadway shows. Which I'm very excited for. My last international trip was to the UK in October last year and I can't wait to go back.

Miscellaneous events, but not limited to pub trivia, working out (getting back into running and strength training so that's a big focus right now), hiking, exploring restaurants, being by the water, movies, gaming, 60s-80s TV, dancing, and probably some other things I can't think of right now.

But that seems like enough. What am I looking for? Someone who:

• Is between the ages of 30-40.
• Prefers to live in a city (sorry I am a visit the country person)
• Is not racist/sexist/homophobic/a general asshole
• Does not want (or currently have) kids -- this is dealbreaker
• Enjoys chatting over voice notes or video calls
• Is okay with a partner that socially drinks or consumes edibles

I'd also want to exchange pictures fairly early on. If you've gotten this far -- hope to hear from you!

I am a great many things, but at the moment, I am tipsy.

Good morning, from CST.

Who am I? There isn’t a simple definition here, so I’ll just start listing facets of myself and you can decide if I’m worth your time.

I am a nerd, currently invested in how Bleach finally ends, given I’ve never read the manga.

I am Messianic Jewish, so I’m down with the whole “Gifts of the Spirit” thing.

I enjoy Metal! \m/ Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza dropped a new single and it’s great, even if it eats my speakers.

I write well, specializing in fantasy-ish stories with a heavy emphasis on gritty realism and real-world trauma and the overcoming there-of.

I adore fountain pens and know more about inks and paper than any man probably should.

I have sung liturgies for 20,000 people through Facebook Live. Yes, really.

I have copy-edited the Bible.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are some of my favorite games. But I enjoy murdering strangers in COD on occasion.

I dress well, and learned color theory/fashion by trying to make my FFXIV character look better.

I have found beauty in any number of strange places, and I’ve yet to find anyone who sees it like I do. I dream of finding someone who understands.

I love boots. I love polishing and brushing shoes in general. It’s therapeutic, and I look fine as hell.

I am too smart for my own good. Indeed, being smart has done me very little good in and of itself. I’d be very interested in hearing the exchange rate for IQ points and “Motivation.”

I am not for everyone, and that’s fine—I’m monogamous after all—but someone to chat with today would help me a lot, so I thought I’d try reaching out.

I’ve no expectations of a response. I will dream of one regardless.

I’m originally from South India, currently pursuing my grad school in US. I’ve always been academically inclined and ambitious, but I try not to make my career my entire personality. Career-wise, I’m happy with where things are heading and excited about what’s next.
Outside work, I enjoy working out and playing badminton and maintaining an active lifestyle. I love travelling, exploring new cities, trying different cuisines, and experiencing different cultures. Living in the US has given me plenty of opportunities to explore, and there’s still a long list of places I’d love to visit.

Personality-wise, I’d describe myself as curious, ambitious, open-minded, and fairly easygoing. I enjoy intellectual conversations, but equally appreciate random, silly discussions about absolutely nothing. I value independence and personal growth, but also believe life is much more enjoyable when you have someone to share the little things with.
What I’m looking for:
Someone who’s ambitious, independent, emotionally mature, and genuinely kind. I find intelligence and curiosity attractive, but I think being able to communicate openly, laugh together, and understand each other matters even more.
Ideally, I’d like a relationship where we’re both pursuing our individual goals while being each other’s biggest supporters. Someone I can travel with, explore new places with, have deep conversations with, and also just spend a lazy weekend doing absolutely nothing.
I believe mutual attraction, emotional compatibility, and shared values are all important. I’m looking for something genuine and long-term rather than something casual.
If any of this resonates with you, feel free to DM! Happy to exchange pictures and get to know each other. :)
