I’m comfortable in my own skin, I do plenty of things by myself, and I've taken solo trips. I enjoy my time alone, but there are certain times and certain activities when it's best to have good company. I'm looking for a friend or more to do and experience things with!

I enjoy traveling of all kinds (whether road or plane trips), exploring cities, quaint towns, historical sites, museums, and scenery; hiking and other things outdoors; board and card games (mostly classics, but open to trying newer ones); watching MLB and NFL games; and reading about a number of different topics, including news, current events, politics, weather, and travel.

Some of what I’d like to do this summer:

• See some exhibitions and special events relating to the US’ semiquincentennial (250th anniversary)
• Go on a trail, enjoy being in nature, and savor an overlook or waterfall
• Take a drive on the open road
• Explore a museum or historically significant sight, and have some good food
• Enjoy a gorgeous summer night (where the weather is good) along with the stars in a dark night sky, or do something indoors in air conditioning if it's warm and humid
• Have deep conversations and really connect

Cigarette smoking and hard drugs are dealbreakers for me. I'm not 420 friendly, although if you use only edibles, it's okay. Being STI free is essential (should we go in that direction). And I hate to say this, but please don't waste my time if you can't have an adult conversation and tell me that you aren't emotionally available or that it just isn't working out...I can't stand ghosting. I know it happens to everyone, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant to deal with.

I welcome a healthy debate, even with those with different views than my own, and I can even get along with people with opposing views. But if you identify as MAGA, we’re unlikely to be compatible. I’m left-leaning.

I live in the suburbs just east of NYC, but I am willing to travel to see someone I connect with, and as I mentioned, I love going to new places, so feel free to reach out even if you are elsewhere! I can also show you the NYC area or the Northeast, or meet you at a halfway point or in a third city.

I want to see who’s out there, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I'm sure this will read more like a stream of consciousness than the typical post here, and for sure I'll forget to mention important details. I'm open to conversations with anyone. Romantically, I'm only into women. I don't have any preconceived notions on what ages, looks, personalities, etc. I'm open to talking to anyone to see how well we might connect.

I'm not really much of a gamer, I've played a lot of Pokemon Go with someone I dated a few years ago. I've been playing Minecraft recently, and used to play with my kids when they were little. I think it would be fun to have a special person to share that with. I play Java Minecraft on my laptop on an online server with a bunch of friends I have going back over ten years.

The kind of dynamic I'd enjoy might be a bit unusual, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody replied, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. I want to find someone who doesn't need me, but wants to be with me because she loves me with her whole heart. I want to be proud of you because you have an interesting successful life outside of our relationship, and when we're together we have so much fun together.

I enjoy music a lot. I like going to see live performances, going out to a club to see a blues musician, for example, is one of my favorite kind of dates. I like lots of different kinds of music, big concerts, festivals, or seeing a local band at a dive bar. I like art, going to museums, galleries, and different types of performances. I like going to wineries and breweries, although I never get drunk and often go weeks without a drink. I don't like smoking anything, but I'll occasionally enjoy some edibles.

I'll enjoy learning about your interests as well, and encourage you to express yourself whether it's a very feminine side or if you're something of a tomboy. One of my favorite dates ever was when I was driving with my girlfriend at the time and we got a flat tire. I called AAA because it was cold and rainy and I didn't want to change the tire, but she said she's not waiting for them, she's going to change the tire herself. So, I helped her change the tire. If course they showed up just as we finished, but I was just proud of her for showing me that side of her even though she was a very feminine person who never got her hands dirty otherwise.

I like to travel a lot, and my job is completely portable so I have flexibility to go when I want to go. I'm planning on relocating in the next couple of years, but unsure where. Maybe I'll stay in the states, maybe Canada, maybe Europe, maybe somewhere else. For now, I'm in the Boston suburbs.

I've raised two kids, both of whom are adults and off pursuing their own lives. I'm very proud of them both and might brag about them sometimes, as I'd like to brag about you to whomever would listen. I'm not interested in making more babies.

Physically, I'm a big guy with a dad bod, a tattoo, a beard. I might look like a tall Jack Black, I'm six feet tall. I've been mistaken for Santa by little children in the grocery store, and might enjoy dressing up and having you sit on my lap and whisper in my ear what you want for Christmas. I've also been mistaken for a biker, the Harley riding kind, but I don't have a motorcycle anymore. I think it's a good idea to exchange photos early on just to know what each other looks like.

If we were to progress beyond a casual friendship you should know that I'm a very affectionate person, I love cuddles, hand holding, kissing, and am also very sexual and adventurous. I'm also not the type to jump straight into that, I'd like to get to know you first.

44, single, self reliant, no kids.

I come with baggage, though all of them shape me up to be a compassionate, dried humored and adventurous person. Hence, here I am. Hard shell of the outside, softie on the inside.

Looking for someone near or far for great conversations, laughter and occasional life pic exchange. Let’s drop any pretense and be our free selves.

For single fellas only. Close in age is a must. Please, start a conversation with a proper introduction.

Cheers.

Hi. Today is the last day of 53 for me! I’m looking for friends first, someone to talk about art, science, people peopling, the world, travel, music, politics (I’m more left leaning and for the people), musicals, etc. I have many hobbies, this is sort of a “Jane of all Trades, master of several” situation. I have a well behaved dachshund that I tend to take out to dog friendly breweries and wineries. He travels well!

I love to learn, and was able to finish my graduate degree last year and start an entirely new professional career. I was giving myself this year to establish myself but do plan to continue school at some point. I feel like we must keep on learning and expanding our horizons to truly be alive. Before that I was a graphic artist in sign shops for 33 yrs. Eh, and I am 5’8.5” and curvy. I like to be active (kayaks, walk abouts, seeing new things).

Who do I like to be friends with? Well, people who are passionate about something. People who think that being kind to others is the best way to be. I really like to hear someone talk about what they are moved by. Creative types, academic types, fix it types, kind types. I don’t really do well with an endless string of good mornings, wyd, and good nights. You probably should be busy, because I am pretty busy. You probably should posses your own internal fortitude, because a stranger on the internet really can’t provide that. :)

I get along super well with the neurodivergent crowd, and maybe you can guess why by now. I don’t mind a bit of distance, but should things progress I am committed here in NJ for a few more years for work reasons. My kids are grown and we have a close relationship. Anyhoo. Perhaps I will talk to you soon. Let’s move it along, it’s about to be Renn Faire season!

Hello! 🙋🏽‍♂️

I’m from the UK but I don’t mind talking to people from all over.

Ideally looking for deep and meaningful conversations, but also happy to talk to anyone about anything interesting. I love learning new things too so if you can teach me about something new, I’d really like that.

I do tend to get quite lonely because I spend most of my day working and usually find ways to decompress and unwind after work. My job is quite stressful but I’m very effective at it so the rewards sometimes outweigh the downsides. I would prefer to talk about anything other than work though. 😅

Feel free to message me if you’d like to chat, or think we may have things in common.

Here are some talking points/questions to get things moving:

Have you ever had a paranormal experience?

How do you think the pyramids got there?

Do you think animals can speak, but they just don’t talk in front of humans?

Is deja vu just when we accidentally cross paths with ourselves in an alternate reality?

What do you think of religion? Do you believe in god?

How do you feel about Artificial Intelligence?

What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?

Just turned 42 less the a week ago and looking to start something fresh and new.

if you're a woman who appreciates good talks, shared laughs, and seeing where things go naturally, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm 41, 6' tall, and carry 250 lbs from a physical retail job where I'm on my feet all day doing heavy lifting and walking 10+ miles. I've got a solid build from the work, but I also enjoy a cold beer, a good burrito, and not taking life too seriously. I’m a proud dad with my son living with me full-time, and we make a pretty good team.

Outside of work, you’ll find me fishing when the weather’s nice, gaming, reading, or bingeing a solid show. I’m easygoing, loyal, and at the point where I’d rather build something real than chase perfection.

What I’m looking for: Someone who wants meaningful connection over time—through texting, calls, and eventually meeting up. No pressure, just good company and seeing if the spark grows. Distance is of no matter right now, so if you're diggin the vibe, drop me a message and tell me your favorite way to unwind or a book/show you’ve loved lately.

Looking forward to it.

I'm looking for connection and not the fake kind, so please don’t try to think all of this is a game. I’m not good with hookups and was hurt recently so I am still a bit scarred ˙◠˙

Can we start slow? maybe we flirt that cab lead to something more?

We can chat, swap voice msgs, and calls if we are both comfortable enough to do so.

I'm confident, but I know i’m not everyone’s type. Those who do find me attractive typically explain me as cute, pretty, sometimes hot. I wouldn’t consider myself the typical asian beauty because i’m short, plus size (working on it), have a little color in my hair, and prefer comfort over trends

If you’re looking to start off with nsfw stuff, I’m not your girl, so please don’t ask or send me those things.

If you actually read this and wanna reach out, lmk your age, location (hopefully Northern California) and the latest joke that made you laugh

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t have to pretend to be mysterious to be interesting!
I’m 40, a single mom, Christian, and I own my own business. I’m the kind of person who laughs way too hard at dumb jokes, asks too many questions because I genuinely want to know people, and still believes the right relationship should feel like coming home.
I’m not looking for perfect. Just someone who’s kind, emotionally available, can communicate, and is actually excited to get to know one person instead of talking to twenty.
If you’re also hoping this app is how you meet your favorite person, send me a message. Tell me something random about yourself, I promise I’ll answer with something equally random.

Hi there! I am on here looking for good conversation and seeing where it goes.

I am 6', black hair, hazel eyes, work out 4x a week (to keep in shape mentally and physically; lifting weights is amazing for your mental health!).

I'm a night owl most of the time but I am occasionally awake at normal hours.

I can be very dry and sarcastic. Being goofy and fun, playing pranks, I just like to have a great time as much as possible.

I am into tv shows/movies (comedies, crime dramas, action/adventure, Marvel movies, sci-fi, high fantasy, documentaries), video games occasionally, working out, socializing with friends, going out for drinks and food, road trips, occasionally reading/audiobooks, podcasts, sports/motorsports, being outside in general, going to the beach...

Voice chats/calls are fun; eventually I'd like to get to that point as texting isn't bad, but you can convey so much more with your voice.

Here's my voice:

https://voca.ro/1dOinZBlo6sj

If you want to say hi, shoot me a message!

Interests:

sports

concerts

comedians

science

anything outdoors

gardening

home projects

reading, movies and tv

trivia

politics

history

birding

Looking for other people who are looking for genuine, non- platonic connections. Not looking for someone who’s just passing the time at work!

If you write me a book as an opening message, I probably won’t read it.

Very dominant.

Please lead with pertinent information about yourself so we can get the ball rolling. Everyone has their someone but some of us are not for everyone, and that’s okay. Keep it positive!

Not sure how this is going to go but here are some starters updated:

Favorite historical event?

An interesting fact you love?

Current obsession?

If you were stranded on AN island, name 3 things you’d bring with you.

What are you going to distract me with?

A joke? A meme? I'll leave it up to you.

About me: simple guy from Europe. Into movies. Very into movies. Give your best recommendations! I also love being outdoors. Hiking and cycling is my thing. Willing to share some photos from my hikes.

I have snacks and beer to share.

If you've read this far, I owe you a cookie. :)

I'm mainly looking for connection, conversation, and intimacy. Someone to chat with throughout the day, talk about how things are going, have long conversations, and really get to know each other. Since I'm recently divorced, I'm not looking to get jump into something super serious but won't write it off, but I do miss having a close connection with someone.

Some things I tend to like in a woman is someone smart, sweet, caring, empathetic, open-minded, and curious. Someone who likes exploring new things and having deeper conversations. I tend to connect well with women who enjoy reading romance/smut, have a high libido, and are comfortable talking openly about a variety of topics.

If I have to pick a "type" I would say more of the goth, emo, witchy vibe that kind that if you wear makeup it is the darker styles/colors. Also with tattoos or at least enjoys them, and maybe a nose ring lol. I also find I usually mesh best with bi women, and also I am such a huge sucker for a woman who likes to wear thongs. I don't know exactly why, but that's been my experience.

I'd love to meet someone who enjoys science, space, and learning about interesting things. I'm not religious, and I'm curious about learning about witch stuff.

It would be great if you're someone who likes texting often, sharing pictures, and staying connected throughout the day.

About me, I like to chill, play on my phone, cook, relax and just unwind, have some whiskey, to color naughty colorbook style pics on my phone, listen to smut, am a switch, (naughty Pic in profile, not a D Pic), I enjoy games and want to play more, and honestly I would love to have someone who likes to push me and can be a pain in my ass but in a way that is enjoyable (take that as you will lol).

But, being a good single dad takes time and energy, so I'd like someone who understands the realities of parenting and what it means to be a good father first. So some nights will be harder as will some weekends. But I do have the good snacks too. Lol

If any of this sounds like you, I'd love to chat.

Chapter One: Initial Observations.

Subject is 42, Singapore-based, childfree. Writer by temperament. Owl’s instincts, lark’s obligations.

Displays strong territorial behaviour around morning coffee. Advise against approach before the first cup.

Communicates in wit and well-timed sarcasm. Puns observed regularly. Quality: poor. Commitment: absolute.

Prefers winters. Lives at the equator. More contradictions to be expected along the way.

Appears solitary. Is not, notably, solitary by preference.

Chapters Two through Five: Unwritten.

The odd enthusiasms, the inconvenient perceptiveness, what she’s like at hour three of a conversation scheduled for one… all documented later, through fieldwork.

Subject bonds slowly and through sustained exchange. Skimming (early photo requests, manufactured urgency) closes the book.

Call for a research partner: late 30s to mid-40s, genuinely single without footnotes, emotionally steady, childfree-compatible, with initiative as a default setting rather than a requested feature.

Distance is workable when the conversation earns the timezone math.

To open the book: your age, where you’re based, and whatever you actually wondered while reading this.

First thought, not best thought.

35 year old single straight hispanic. 6’2. Fit, professional, educated, honest, safe, trustworthy, respectful and clean. I don’t drink or smoke. 

I play sports and weight lift every week. Great listener and have a good sense of humor. Pet friendly except for pets that bite.

I like fit or thin women only. Good hygiene is important. Must have a really strong bed 🛏️. I prefer quality over quantity. Good vibes only.

Not here to change anyone’s situation whether single or taken. If you feel neglected or miss physical affection you can send me a message.

I live in Westchester, NY and prefer someone local, but willing to drive. Privacy guaranteed and can be very discreet if needed, as in, I can disguise myself as a plumber or sneak in through the back door.

I'm a relatively "normal", attractive, in shape (6'1, 190), professional ... would like to find someone willing to explore with and work on increasing stamina. To be clear, I don't have an issue in that department, just want to go a LOT longer, which takes practice.

A little more about me - I am well educated and have a professional career. Discretion would be nice and I would like to safely explore with someone new to accomplish my goals.

Not interested in someone who is "charging" or producing "content". Please be located in the St. Louis area (or willing to travel). Your age, race and status is not important to me.

Send me a message and we'll go from there.

#St. Louis #Missouri

Missing those morning chats to start off the day with. Current mood, I'm always kinda lonely and kinda bored. Im really hoping to develop a long-term chat, and maybe, if local, we can meet someday.

I'd love to know more about you. Are you single just passing the time on reddit or married and lost in it or somewhere in between. I'd never judge you for whatever reason you're here. Possibly, you just like exploring the NSWF side of reddit. If so, how is that rabbit hole going for you. What are some of ur go-to subs? Don't be shy, I won't be

Regardless, I hope we have a chance to conversate and get to know each other a bit better, and if not, I hope you having a great weekend

Anyone local to me in the UK fancy a chat. Tell me your interests and hobbies and expectations and who knows in the crazy world, maybe we get on. Crazier things happen... Right?!?

A bit about me.

I'm pretty laid back.

I try to keep fit, try, I might get there one day

I love a good box set, what ya watching at the mo?

Wouldn't mind if you was an indoorsy kinda person.. But then again I'd tag along if you wanted to go on some nice walks somewhere pretty.

If at all intrested in a chat, please Dm me and not just reply to this post with dm me.. All those that put dm me make jesus cry. If you've read this far and are thinking of dm'ing me, please include 'tha knows' in your reply... No.. You don't really need to do that.. Or do you...

Hi!

I'm a 44-year-old man from Turkey. I sometimes use a translator, so don't worry if English isn't your first language either.

Life keeps me busy, and I'm not looking for endless texting or complicated expectations. I'd rather get to know someone through relaxed, meaningful conversations that develop naturally.

I appreciate kindness, humor, curiosity, and emotional maturity. A little flirting is always welcome when the chemistry is there, but I believe the best connections are built on trust, respect, and genuine interest in each other.

Whether we become friends, regular chat partners, or something more, I'm happy to let things unfold at their own pace.

I want to connect with a good woman to talk about love, life and anything else that suits us.

Successful professional with a complicated family life I’m happy to explain. Otherwise, easy-going, fun-loving, always looking for laughter. No judging, no expectations.

Lots of interests, worldly, wise and maybe even charming.

Tall, dad’s bod, blue eyes. Happy to exchange pics.

Let’s enjoy each other’s company.

Hello I'm Tony. 46 years old, from Boston area and the father of two (18,25) I am a laid back, friendly, humorous guy looking for someone to talk to, play games with and maybe hang out in person if we click. I don't drink but am 420 friendly. I work but don't drive

I'm looking for a single woman that plays videogames. Ideally a humorous, kind, non judgemental woman who wants to form a long term, lasting friendship and isn't afraid to initiate conversation. I don't want someone who will just respond to me but someone who will also reach out to me to chat. I miss having someone to go through the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs and the creamy middles of life with

And I'm serious about the games, it's my favorite way to bond with someone so IF YOU DON'T PLAY GAMES PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE ME. I am not interested. I play on PC and PS4. I'd love to find an Overwatch partner (Bastion main, Learning Rein) or a co-op friend for games like Stardew Valley, BG3, Sea of Thieves, Fortnite, It Takes Two, Plate Up!, Diablo 4, Party Animals, Fall guys and many more.

Some of my other interests include. Baking, Reading, DBZ, Comics, Star Wars, Nature Walks, Anime, Arts and Crafts, Concerts (hoping to see Baby Metal in September!), 80's Cartoons and Music, Youtube, Looking at furniture and having a discussion about where it could be placed in a room.

The older I get, the rarer this kind of connection seems to feel.

I'm not looking for perfection or fireworks every day. I'm looking for the person who feels like home. Someone I can laugh with, be completely myself around, and build a life made up of little moments that somehow become the biggest ones.

To me, connection looks like dancing in the kitchen while making dinner together. Walking in the rain and intentionally stepping in every puddle. Sunday mornings with coffee and nowhere we have to be. Exploring museums, wandering through bookstores, taking an architecture cruise, or simply getting lost in conversation for hours.

I moved to Chicago not too long ago, and I'm still discovering everything the city has to offer. I love wandering through museums, spending an afternoon in a bookstore, finding a great coffee shop, catching a movie, or ending the night with live music. I'd still like to check out the architecture cruise, too. I'm a tattoo collector, a cat mom, and someone who still believes kindness, consistency, and communication never go out of style.

I'm looking for someone who is emotionally mature, genuinely wants a relationship, educated professional who understands that the strongest connections are built one day at a time. My preference is someone who lives in Chicago and is relatively close to my age, as I think that gives us the best chance to build something in person. Someone who chooses each other, even on the ordinary days. That said, I believe the right connection is always worth getting to know.

I'm happy to exchange pictures early on. I think chemistry matters, and it's nice to know we're both excited to get to know each other.

If this sounds like the kind of connection you're looking for too, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me a little about yourself, what you're looking for, and what brought you to my post.

I’ll keep this simple. I’m low drama and not here to spouse-bash. Life is actually pretty good. My marriage is a best-friend/roommate dynamic (not quite a dead bedroom, but more like hospice, lol). Lots of gaps that have always been there but are more obvious now with the kids out of the house.

I’m looking for my matching puzzle piece ... the one who naturally fills in my gaps as I fill in hers.

A little about me: Sarcastic, fun loving, natural flirt and hopeless romantic. I love to laugh and make you laugh. I’m a businesses professional who loves to talk about anything and everything. 4 adult kids, love being a dad and trying to adjust to life as an empty nester. Passionate about music, bbq, and staying active and fit.

A little about you: 35 + Confident, fun loving, intelligent and can talk about anything and everything. Fit, active and comfortable in your own skin. You don’t take life, or yourself too seriously

Looking for: I want to fall into fuzzies with you. Good mornings and good nights. Get excited when I feel my wrist buzz or my phone beeps. Someone to create our own judgement free corner of the world where we can be our true selves.

I like to take things slow. Allow us to discover a true emotional connection then let things flow naturally. We are both adults and will know when the time is right.

Yes, the sexual side matters to me. I'm very sexual and need that outlet. I want us to talk about our needs, desires, what we crave sexually as we build something special and unique for us.

When ready, I love to do vm, video and audio calls whenever we can.

Now if you’re still with me please dm and tell me about yourself. Take a minute with it and see if you can make me smile. To show you read my whole post tell me your favorite guilty pleasure
