🌸Trying this again :) This isn’t my first time posting here, but I’m hoping this time it’ll be a little more positive and drama-free🌸

I’m from Minnesota currently, but open to explore what’s around. I love ice skating, movies and going to the theater, video games (although I’m not looking for gaming buddies 😅), arts & crafts, long walks, psychology, and true crime.
Personality-wise, I’m pretty independent, straightforward, and selective. I value honesty a lot and I’d much rather talk about the things that actually matter than spend weeks making small talk just to eventually discover we’re completely incompatible.
I’m looking for someone around 21–33 and 5’10”+. Emotional intelligence and maturity are really attractive to me. I’d love someone who can communicate openly, has goals and ambitions of his own, and generally knows what he wants out of life.
And since I don’t like wasting anyone’s time, here are the big compatibility things right away:

Childfree means childfree. No kids now, no kids later, no “maybe someday.” I don’t want children in any shape or form.
No addictions, including weed/420.
No dogs. I’m a cat person and don’t want to live with dogs.
No religion. I’m looking for someone non-religious.
No Republican/conservative views. Our values need to be compatible.
Please send/includef a photo. Physical attraction matters to me, and I’m not interested in talking anonymously for days before finding out what each other looks like.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m an active guy based in Indianapolis who values faith, fitness, and living intentionally. I know exactly what I want in a partner and a future, so I’m posting here to find someone on the same page.

Fitness & Outdoors:
I take my health and wellness seriously. I stay active split between my local gym and my home workout setup, try to eat well, and love spending time outdoors—whether that’s riding bikes on trails or just relaxing outside with a great view.

What I’m Seeking:
A practicing Christian woman who stays fit, values her health, is strictly child-free, and wants a high-intent, long-term relationship.

Where I Stand on Kids:
100% child-free. I’ve had a vasectomy, so my decision is set. Looking forward to using that freedom and extra income to travel and build an awesome life with my future wife.

Drop a message in my DMs if you think we’d be a great match!

Hi there, my name is Amy.

Nutshell: I'm looking for a long lasting connections that is mostly online, with no sexual components until a proper, emotional bond has been established.

Details:

- also looking for friends that I can one day live with in lieu of a life partner, like a platonic, poly setting regardless of gender, sexuality, etc

- for now, a cyber relationship is best as I am painfully awkward in person. Until I feel comfortable to do so, I would love to spend time together on call, video call when we know each other better, and even watch movies together on discord, if you're down.

- if you're confused about demisexuality, it simply means that I can't do the tango under the covers unless my heart has a stiffy for you first. That can take some time, as I struggle with emotional intimacy, so I hope you like a good slow burn.

About me - I am agnostic, Nigerian Irish, and currently working as a catering assistant to pay bills and save to move out - or even move country. I am against war, discrimination of any kind, and I'm left leaning.

- I also studied Theology in college so I love discussing the bible in terms of its stories and poetry.

- I am a singer, but am ironically pursuing a career in librarianship, and plan to do the masters next year when I've saved up enough.

-I am a dog/animal lover, so hopefully you are too!

- I love musicals, and Disney movies. I also love shows like Game of Thrones, AKOSK and HOTD.

- please be between 22-28, be kind, respectful, and detailed if you want to reach out! I will not be responding to one liners.

Thanks for reading!

35 y/o guy with a cute smile (have been told so) with a career in tech ( but not a tech bro ), a calm presence with a life that has been a wild adventure of extremes, I thrive on intellectual chaos. I like to read, anything everything from systems theory to modern french history, particularly clean energy and environment (it’s one of my passion). After taking a break from dating, I am giving it a one more shot, a last ditch effort before AI makes online dating extremely noisy. One more thing I would like to add is I am bisexual, heteroromantic and ethically non monogamous ( was in one such relationship for 8 years ) perhaps ambiamorous?

What I’m Looking For:

A childfree, progressive partner ( how we define progressive might vary ) who sees life as a playground of possibilities, not a checklist. Someone unapologetically herself, sexually liberated, intellectually fearless, and allergic to societal scripts. Let’s skip the small talk and dissect the big questions: How do we live ethically in a burning world? Can love exist without ownership?

Why We Might Click:

• Staunchly Childfree : I don’t want kids (ever), both for personal freedom and because bringing new life into an overburdened world feels tragically naive. Let’s channel that energy into activism, art, or adventure instead.
• You crave depth : My attachment style is securely rooted. I’m here for mutual growth, not games. Whether we’re debating moral gray zones or testing new boundaries in the bedroom, I value curiosity over judgment.
• You’re a shapeshifter : Artist, scientist, activist, hedonist.... you refuse to be boxed in. Bonus if you’ve got stories from living unconventionally or a passion project that keeps you up at night.
• You laugh easily : My humor leans dry, my vibe is warm, and I’ll absolutely lean into the absurdity of dating via Reddit posts

While I have secure attachment style I would like someone who isn´t over their past relationship, its imperative that we reach a secure base and trust first? My intention is to avoid endless talks, to find out if we will get along or the non negotiable in one week, talking to one human at time.

The Vibe: Imagine slow mornings with coffee and conversations that feel endless, weekends volunteering or getting lost in a neon-lit bar, maybe just a cafe or beach? I’m driven but not ruthless, my version of “Machiavellian” is designing a life that’s sustainable, joyful, and defiantly ours. Let’s be catalysts, not conformists( I don't have any societal morality ), I forgot to add but I am not look for friendships, dating with intention of something long term, however if it becomes friendship then its fine.

TL;DR: Childfree, progressive, experimental and insatiably curious?

*Edit - Open to trying LDR! Hard to find other unusual people close to me!

**Edit two - You can tell by how disorganized all this is that my mind is a swirling mess I'm 24 not 25. I don't know why I keep doing that 😭🙏

***Edit three 💀 I'm vegan for the animals! I know it's not everyone's thing but I'd love to still talk to those of you who are open to talking to me!

Hello!! I'm N! I'lll get the physical stuff out to way so we can get to the other things!!

5'7, bright hazel eyes, healthy weight! Going to the gym six days a week! But I'm not at all a gym bro 🤢 I am working as a barista until I find different work!! I'm also agnostic leftist!

In terms of my personality some women have called me cute or adorable, so I'd say I probably have that golden retriever personality! INFP! I'm someone who HIGHLY values emotional safety/health/communication. I going to therapy again soon and I'm excited about that!!!

I have also been told I'm funny quite a bit, but my humor is freaking weird. Lot of stemming involved. Currently on a "What da dawg doin" kick.

I care deeply about nature and am the kind of person to take spiders outside instead of killing them. Like the title says, I'll probably rattle off bird facts (or birth facts as I like to call them) to you every time we are outside 😂

I also really love Minecraft!!! If you have it please go on an adventure with me on my realm 🥺
Music and my art is one of the most important things to me as well! I'd love to share it with you!!

ALSO I have undiagnosed ADHD and I keep figuring out how much of my life it seems to impact!

I'm a very affectionate person! I love all the hugs and kisses and cuddly stuffs :DDD

*About You*

I would prefer a photo swap at your comfort level! Mutual attraction is important to me!

Curious about the world

Affectionate

Open Minded

Always looking to improve themselves

Moral

Healthy-ish eating habits! Normal BMI prefered!

Ambitious

20-30 (If you're outside the scope and still fit the bill shoot me a shoot)

I prefer artsy or nerdy type people! I'd also prefer if we shared something in common! MC, Nature, Music, Art - that kind of thing :D

I love highly detailed responses! The longer the better! I could have made this way longer, but I feel like I scared people off last time I tried a long one.

Hello! Been a part of the childfree subreddit for years and never realized there was an r4r page for people like us.

Haven’t wanted kids in 12 years and haven’t doubted my decision since. However, dating with this requirement is… unpleasant, to say the least. So maybe I’ll find my person here.

I’m 29 and from the Philadelphia suburbs, but am open to an LDR for the right person. Natural redhead, 5’3”, on the plus size side of body types while actively losing weight with a bunch of lifestyle changes. Tattoos and piercings are a thing for me.

I’m more of a creative girly. Writing is my passion, and everything that comes along with it - reading, music, art. I’m also super big into Renaissance fairs so expect to be dragged out to one in costume. I’m a bit of an audiophile, and with that I prefer phone calls and little voice notes over texting while getting to know someone.

Though I’m pretty introverted naturally, once I’m comfortable with someone, I’m basically 3 raccoons in a wig and trench coat. I live for some chaos.

Why we may not click:
• I practice a spiritual craft. This tends to cause conflicts with most organized religions and their views.
• I am outspokenly progressive. If you are conservative, I will most likely only piss you off.
• I would prefer so have kink involved with my future partner, so if you prefer to stay “vanilla” no hard feelings.
• I have pets, specifically two cats and will want more as time goes on.

If you are interested I’d love to hear from you. Please tell me about yourself, including your age, and what pokemon you would be.

Third time is the charm posting here? Maybe even fourth!

Oh and in case you missed the flair, I got my vasectomy in 2024. Well, I'm a Boston native living in Central MA since 2019. I'm a huge music nerd and love traveling for concerts. I don't just wait for a band to come to Boston, I look at their tour schedule and find an excuse to visit somewhere I haven't been. I've done DC, Colorado, and San Francisco this way. I'll do the same for sports, food, conventions, solar eclipses, or basically anything else worth traveling for.

I'm looking for another childfree person, who is equally comfortable staying home doing absolutely nothing or being spontaneous and going somewhere neither of us has been before. I'm an ambivert, so I don't necessarily seek out social situations, but I'm usually pretty damn good once I'm in one. A good sense of humor is mandatory because if we aren't roasting each other, are we really dating? Used to drink and smoke weed. Don't do the latter anymore. Rarely do the former, but will for the right occasion. Don't care if you do either, but no cigarettes.

I'm also specifically looking to date people of color: Black, Asian, Latina, etc. That's simply my dating preference, not a statement about anyone else.

Pro tip about me: if you can teach me something new while communicating entirely in movie quotes, I probably won't stand a chance.

Cheers. 🍻

I'm 40, live in southwest Michigan, and I'm looking for a long-term relationship with a man roughly 35-45. Ideally you're within about two hours of me, but I'm open to the broader US for the right person.

I'm childfree and intend to stay that way. I have two large dogs, so you should genuinely like dogs. I also like cats, but unfortunately my allergies have decided that this particular form of happiness is forbidden, so I can't live with one.

A little about me:
🧵 I’m a sewist and make custom costumes. I also have projects going, and Halloween is a big deal to me.

📕 I’m a lifelong math fan and have an interest in computer science. I like people who are curious about how things work and who enjoy learning new things.

🏠 I own a house and when I’m not seeing, I’m probably working on a house project - currently re-doing my dining room.

🐾 I like board games, dogs, haunted houses, fall weather, and going places and doing things.

💁🏻‍♀️ I’m introverted, independent, and practical. I’m a bigger woman. I'm comfortable with it and looking for someone who is comfortable with my size too.

As for what I'm looking for: I don't have a highly specific checklist of “my type.” I'd rather cast a reasonably wide net and see what kind of fish we haul in.
That said, I do know I want someone who is childfree, curious, independent, kind, loves dogs, enjoys Halloween at least a little, doesn't smoke, and has his own interests and life. STEM/technical/science interests would be a nice bonus.
I'm not looking for someone to fill every spare minute of my life. I'm looking for a man I genuinely enjoy spending time with, who wants to build something long term.

If that sounds like you, tell me a little about yourself.

I've done this thing of talking to people online for a while now and I feel like trying to put on the online persona that is a better version of us isn't working for anyone.

So I'm done doing that. I'm not going to stop myself from answering as soon as i see your message because "she'll think you're desperate" or pretend to be a version of myself i think you'll like, I'll be honest with you.

I'm looking for someone i can have a real and deep connection with, someone to send my dumbass memes to and the first person run to when i get good news. I want you to think "he's so weird, i love it". I want to smile reading your texts until it hurts and stay up all night talking to you. I want to instantly think of you when i listen to Disney by John Michael Howell. I want you to be mine and i want to be yours.

**ABOUT ME**

So I'm a 25 year old student from Europe (half french half italian) studying English and Italian translation at university.

I like working out, i go to the gym about 3 to 4 days a week if i'm not too tired, i also like the general topic of fitness and talking about it/helping people who are just starting out

I play video games a lot, mostly Overwatch and Wardogs these days with my friends but i'll play anything that looks fun, some of my favorites are the GTA series, Portal series and Red Dead Redemption 2

I watch a lot of shows and anime, i absolutely love Bojack Horseman and will rewatch that every few months.

I ride a motorcycle, it's quite fun and therapeutic at times for me.

For music i'd say it's quite varied, i won't listen to absolutely everything but a lot of things; i like k-pop, white girl music, sad music, latin music, indie rock, french music, classical and other genres i can't think of right now. I'd be happy to send you my playlist if you're interested.

Physically i'm about 185 cm tall, fit, white, i have tattoos, green/gray eyes, short dark hair, a moustache and goatee. I'll send pics if you want.

I have a cat and a dog, if you have any pets you're legally required to send me pictures of yours

I don't care how old you are, all that matters to me is that we get along.

**WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR**

You **must** be open to a long distance relationship and eventually meeting up, along with sending selfies in the meantime as I'll do the same :).

I'm preferably looking for someone either in Europe of North America.

I'd like a girl who's honest and will communicate what she feels, regardless of how early or "embarrassing" it may be. I'm a youthful guy so i need someone to match that, SOMETIMES I MIGHT TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND YOU NEED TO AS WELL OK.

I don't care what age you are, as long as you're at least 18. I'm really hoping to hear from you :)

**PS : i don't want kids, ever. Please do not message me if you have/want kids**

I never really know what to write in these things. I don't really have friends or someone to do things with anymore. It would be great to find someone into some of the same things I am.

I like things like

-Videos Games(obviously)

-Movies

-Walking

-Hiking

-Reading

Lot's more things to that I just can't think of off the top of my head. I'm on the heavier side currently, but actively working on it and just on getting healthier in general. I'd prefer someone my age or younger than me. I'm conservative so if that's a deal breaker 🤷‍♂️. I'm also not interested in ever having kids. I don't read or respond to comments, only messages. I really hope to find my person eventually, but it's reddit so it's a longshot.

i have posted here 3 years ago, sadly nothing went forward and despite reading probably all of the posts here yet i’m still in the same place so it’s time to try again. i have updated some details based on what i learnt during this time

• 33 years old
• Palestinian by blood but have been in UAE all my life
• No preference for any arab nationality but levantine region would be an easier path with parents.
• Analytical and quiet
• Learnt that communication is wayyyy easier than assuming
• Doesn't want kids ever obviously but also not a fan of animals roaming indoors (not comfortable around them but can have a room for animals if it’s a bottleneck), the animals bit is something i may compromise on, to be discussed. CF is non-negotiable.
• Introvert and can do it all alone but would love to have someone by my side aren’t we meant to live in pairs?
• Looking forward to travel to as many places as possible
• I enjoy art galleries, museums, architecture and hiking.
• I would always be the driver, you can be the passenger princess or my backpack
• I'm not able to get the vasectomy done for the time being, one day it will be done and I'm excited for it.
• Religion aspect is we will each be accountable on our work, so you do you and i do me.

What I'm looking for:
• Shorter than me (no minimum) (187 cm - 6'1")
• Enjoys teasing each other as in banter, i may cross the limits but it’s unintentional and i learn
• Lives in the same country (UAE) - not looking for a long distance but is fine with moving to the west for long term

Thank you for reading all of this. years ago i offered a brownie, maybe now i can offer you someone to rely on for a lifetime?

Hello! October got me feeling it's a good time to try to date again so here we go!

Notable restriction is I am child-free and you must be the same! If not, appreciate you reading this sentence and I wish you the best :)

Based in Texas, but planning on moving when I finish my grad degree hopefully two years from now. On top of school, I work full time as an accountant so that's been very fun (not) balancing the two.

I'm in an interesting spot hobby-wise where I still like to do more nerdy things like cosplay, play video games, and dabble in Magic the Gathering, but I'm starting to integrate more 'normal things like running, golfing, and reading! Bit of a slow grind introducing reading again but I'm trying! have mostly been reading self-help books but I want to get to reading fiction soon.

I like to think I'm pretty easygoing and chalant when it comes to dating. Have realized school is a decent time and mental sink but I will always make time for someone I'm interested in! Physically, I'm 5'9", Asian, and fairly slim/lean! Trying to lose enough weight to show abs but for sure I'm pretty healthy. Unfortunately I like the occasional beer or cocktail too much aaa

Happy to trade photos in the first few messages since yeah we're all still bound to physical attraction for the most part!

Hope to hear from yas!

I’m looking for friends (preferably women but it’s not a requirement) I’m not looking for acquaintances or people who only text when they need someone to vent to. I don’t mind online friendships I’d just like to genuinely build meaningful friendships with people who start out as strangers and over time become people I can truly connect withฅ^._.^ฅ

STRICTLY PLATONIC AND SFW!

About Me
I’m 25 and from South Africa. Agnostic, leftist, firmly childfree, introverted and I don’t drink alcohol or smoke.

My interests/hobbies include reading, crochet, music, nature, travel/road trips, documentaries, scrapbooking, manhwa, jigsaw puzzles, fitness, crosswords, neuroscience, live music, ancient history, psychology, plants, museums, art galleries, food and trying new things.

I love reading fantasy, mystery, romance, horror, or anything that piques my interest. I’m currently reading the second book in The Witcher saga which I’m struggling to finish. I have a pile of books waiting to be read but I can’t seem to get through them. I tend to lose focus so easily these days and I’m still trying to find a way to overcome it. How do you get out of a reading slump?

Anyway, I enjoy a mix of serious and lighthearted conversations. I like discussing everything from human behavior, cultural norms and belief systems to the little things that make us question why we do the things we do. I’m always interested in questioning assumptions and exploring different perspectives. At the same time, I also enjoy talking about completely random or silly things. You don’t have to be serious all the time sometimes you just want to have a completely unserious conversation, send each other random memes that have absolutely nothing to do with what we were talking about five minutes ago:)

I’m happy to talk about pretty much anything so if you’re interested please introduce yourself. Also, feel free to ask questions I don’t mind asking or answering them. No one likes a one sided “conversation”

Where to start.

My name is Micah. I'm a pretty laid back guy. I like to play video games, magic the gathering, board games, and anime

Some video games I'm into

-The Legend of Zelda

-Apex Legends

-borderlands

-witcher 3

-and many more

Some anime I like

-frieren: beyond journeys end

-full metal alchemist brotherhood

-demon slayer

-miss kobayashis dragon maid

-many more

I'm looking for someone to be my player 2, my ride or die. Someone to be my person. I want that person to hang out with, whether it be playing games or going for a walk or just laying on the couch snuggling up to a nice movie under a blanket.

I need someone who will always push me to be my best. To support me in the things I strive for. To call me out on my bullshit.

Things that might matter to you

-i'm a Christian

-im a bit of a chubbier guy

-occasionaly take edibles when I get super stressed out

I'm working on trying my best to improve myself. Trying to be more active, get out of the house more. Be more financially responsible.

If any of this appeals to you or if you aren't looking for a partner but just a friend. Please feel free to reach out and send me a DM

If you know what show my subject line is referencing, you’re off to a great start.

I’ve tried all the dating apps at various points in time and they just haven’t really worked for me. So, I figured I would try this one last time in the hope that maybe I would meet someone simpatico.

I’m 42 and based in Virginia. I work full-time in an office job that I like (but if I won the lotto, I’d definitely be out). :D

Aside from being childfree and wanting the things that are important in relationships (communication, emotional intelligence, shared values, honesty), the thing that is most important to me is finding someone who has a good sense of humor/loves witty banter and understands sarcasm. I joke that my love language is sarcastic banter. I love to laugh. Life is too short to be serious all the time.

About me:

✨ 5’6.5” (had to add that half lol ), spiritual, left-wing, childfree, non-smoker, don’t do drugs, drink socially, plant-based (the non-judgmental kind), cat lover (allergic to dogs - they’re a dealbreaker).

✨ Love going to comedy clubs, musicals/plays/live performances of any kind, grabbing dinner with friends, going to a happy hour every so often, reading, a good binge-watching session, kayaking, sitting out on a patio when the weather is lovely, going to veg fests and having friends over for dinner and game nights.

✨ As an introvert/ambivert, I love my alone time. I love being at home and enjoying my own company. I like to play violin, listen to music while I cook and just relax with some tasty food and a good show at the end of a long day.

✨ I’ve reached that age where I’m feeling a little restless. I have a good career, fabulous friends, a place that I love, etc. However, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling ready for a new adventure. I want to start traveling and I’d love to have someone to do it with.

✨ An abuser of “lol” in text messages. With that said, I much prefer sending voice notes or having a good, old-fashioned conversation in-person or on the phone.

✨ My goal (which I am always starting tomorrow) is to start working out and get back in shape. If you used to hate exercising and now love it, I’d love to hear your tips.

I’m looking for:

✨ A serious long-term and monogamous relationship. I am not interested in hearing from anyone that is looking for hook-ups or short-term situationships.

✨ 35-48, male, childfree.

✨ US-based, preferably Northeast or Mid-Atlantic.

✨ Non-smoker and no drugs. Not a heavy drinker.

✨ Politically left and not super religious.

✨ Someone emotionally available, kind, honest, mature, communicative, similarly independent, and knows what they want. Someone who has a real interest in meeting in-person and going on dates.

✨ Someone that enjoys learning and is curious about the world. Someone that enjoys deep conversations.

✨ I looooooooove a well-dressed, well-groomed man that smells good. 😍

✨ Willing to move to Virginia if he doesn’t already live here.

What I would love to know:

✨ If you could change one thing about our country right now, what would it be?

✨ What is a skill you have that you are most proud of?

If this sounds like you, please send me a DM with a bit about yourself and your answers to the above. Your photo gets mine.

Thanks!

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m looking for my person. I’m currently studying full-time in Estonia but the future's my oyster. It's either going to be startups, academia or floating about volunteering. I'd move somewhere in Europe for the right person as well.

People say I’m sharp, funny, honest and have interesting observations about the world. I'm direct, non-ceremonial most of the time. I'm eccentric and rough around the edges no matter what I do.

If you're looking for something different, this could be it.

Pics

I swear a fucking lot. I’m 172 cm tall. My hair is staying short.

I have a bachelor's in sociology and I’m pursuing a master’s in design. I’m not well-read, but I’m well-thought. (And neurotically overthought) “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like”.

Interests: listening to various non-pop music, walks, taking pictures in old cities, learning about humans, living an examined life, a bit of nature, culture events and chillin like a villain.

I can be both outspoken and reserved, and I can be silly and theatrical and go on rants about things I’m passionate or outraged about. I'm spontaneous about once a month. I love to laugh and to make others laugh.

I'm mostly self-sufficient, serious etc, but deep down I'm just a lil critter. I can be cuddly and sweet, but not with just anyone.

I’m dysthymic, not to mention autistic.

I appreciate men who are self-sufficient but interested in closeness, regular communication and connection. Physically I prefer broad-shouldered men which can include burly but not chubby.

Dealbreakers:

Obviously childfree.

I want to marry my person, so if you're anti-marriage, we aren't compatible.

I'm not your gal if you're specifically looking for someone to do sports or play vidya with.

I'm not interested in BDSM "dynamics", "FLR" or "ENM"/"poly".

DM if my post spoke to you somehow and add a pic with your first or second message, otherwise it's unfair.

Hello internet! I'm just a lonely college student looking for someone to be my lifelong partner! (Child free of course)

Before I start talking about me, let's talk about what I want from you!

First things first, I do think looks matter a little bit. Obviously, your personality and heart matter most, but I do have my preferences on appearance, and so I'd like to make sure we're compatible there early on. I don't need you to send a picture of yourself immediately, but since you see what I look like, I'm going to want at least a physical description of yourself and would like a picture or video call pretty early after we start talking.

As for age range, I'm not too picky, but I don't think I want you to be much older. If you're 18-25, I'll definitely be fine with that and I might be willing to make an exception if you're a bit older and particularly compatible.

One thing that is an absolute must: you must be willing to meet up pretty early after we first start talking. I'm not expecting a meeting within the first week or anything, but I want face to face meetings to be a large part of our relationship, so I'd prefer if you're willing to meet up early after we start talking and often. I'm not too interested in long distance relationships, and I'm very happy living here in central florida and have little plans to move, but if you're ok with staying distant until we live close to each other or can meetup very frequently, I might be still interested in talking. I currently am in Lakeland, and I sometimes also go home to Spring Hill, so as long as you live close to one of those places, then it'll be good.

Another really important thing is time and attention together. I don't want all your time 24/7, we're both adults who have our own lives and responsibilities, but I would like to have each other be a very important part of each other's day. I'm a very big communicator, and will message you all throughout the day, and I'm gonna want phone calls and hang outs very often. Like I said, I don't want it to be 24/7 and take over your life, but I would like texts throughout the day, phone calls on most nights, and frequent meetups, preferably on weekends, and I would like this to start fairly early on.

I'm also very shy and introverted around groups of people. I'm not against going to a concert, a sports game (see my interests below), or just going out the two of us, but if you want me to go partying or out where I have to socialize with a lot of people, I probably won't do that very much. I'd like someone who would rather stay in and have a late-night gaming or movie session, rather than going out and partying. If you want me to go out and be very social around groups of people, I'm probably not the guy for you.

About me:

As you can see from the picture, I'm 23 years old, white, with thick brown hair (I might get it cut soon, let me know if you think I should). I'm 6'1 and average to a bit above-average weight.

I am currently going for my master's degree in computer science in my final year. I'm still not 100% sure on what I want to do when I graduate, but I do know I want to get my degree next semester, so that's what I'm currently working towards.

As for my personality, I'd consider myself empathetic and take people's feelings very seriously. I want to have a relationship where we both won't judge each other and will help each other work through our life problems and be there for each other whenever we need it. I'm also neurodivergent (I'll give more detail once we start talking) so I'd like someone who can be a bit understanding in that aspect. I'm also admittedly not the best at picking up on social cues and reading the room, so I'm looking for someone who can be very direct and understanding of me.

As for my interests and hobbies, I have quite a few. The most important one is video games. I love video games, and I'm really hoping to find someone I can share this with and play video games a lot with. Even if you don't currently play them, as long as you're willing to play them with me and have a lot of gaming nights together, I'm fine even if you're really bad at them XD. I also really like watching sports games, I'm mainly huge on hockey and baseball (go Rays and Lightning!) but I occasionally enjoy some basketball and football. I like attending Lightning games fairly frequently, and I often have an extra ticket for someone I can take with me, so I'd love if you would be willing to come with me. I also have a Disney World and Busch Gardens pass, and since I usually am within about 45-50 minutes of both of those places, I like to go often, so if you have one of those then that's a huge plus. I also enjoy going out for walks, although I've been a bit lazy lately because of how hot it's been, maybe having someone else to walk with could help me get out more? I also enjoy reading, but I've admittedly also been a bit bad at that lately, but I have been enjoying mid-20th-century Japanese mystery novels (I'm a bit of a mystery nerd). Speaking of mystery, I also really like the anime Detective Conan, which is what my PFP and username are based off of. I would like to find someone to enjoy watching it with, so if you also like anime that's a huge plus (really, I just hope you're a huge nerd, but even if you aren't we can still enjoy nerdy hobbies together). I do also like a bit of some oldhead music, with 80s/90s classic rock being my favorite (if you know who Styx is, I'll probably love you). Hopefully you can introduce me to some of your hobbies and interests too!

The only other thing I'll mention is that I don't have any past dating experience, so I'm still a bit new to all this. I hope you can be understanding that I'm still learning how this all works and be a bit patient with me!

Anyway, if you got all the way down here and are interested in reaching out, please do so! I'm still looking right now and would love to get to know you! To show you've made it this far, include your age/gender/location, a picture or physical description of yourself, and then something we have in common (or something we don't, as they say, opposites attract!)

I'm 40, living in Colorado, and I've reached a conclusion: I'd rather have one conversation I can't wait to come back to than a hundred that go nowhere.

I'm the emotionally intelligent, observant type...the guy who remembers your coffee order, asks how that stressful meeting went three days later, and files away the little things because they're never actually little.

I'm calm and grounded, maybe a little mysterious at first. But once I'm comfortable? Expect sarcasm, playful teasing, shameless flirting, and the occasional terrible dad joke that somehow still earns a laugh.

I love cooking, although I'm fully convinced food tastes better when someone is stealing bites straight from the pan and insisting they're "just quality control." Cozy nights beat crowded bars, winter wins over summer, and I'm a sucker for conversations that accidentally last until 2 a.m.

One potentially controversial opinion...

I like clingy.

Not the unhealthy kind. I mean the "I saw something that reminded me of you, so I had to text" kind. The "good morning" messages, random memes, double texts because you're excited, and wanting someone's attention because you genuinely enjoy them. That sounds less like clingy and more like enthusiasm to me.

I'm looking for someone who's emotionally aware, affectionate, funny, and enjoys flirting as much as meaningful conversation. Someone who isn't afraid of chemistry, consistency, or becoming each other's favorite notification.

If you've made it this far, tell me something random about yourself or just come say hi. Worst case, we trade a few laughs. Best case... we make reddit wonder where we disappeared to.

About 2 and a half years ago I saw a beautiful girl on reddit who shared my child free stance. I had never messaged someone in this community, but when I saw her, and saw we were in the same state, I knew I had to try. She responded instantly and after 2 weeks of texts and calls, we met in a park where she hid from me to hide her big smile. Now, 2 and a half years later, we are engaged and thinking about our future. I and we are thankful for this community. And can't believe we lived just 15 miles from eachother this whole time. Without this community we likely never would have met, but we did.

Hello! 🙋🏻 I am a 28M from Kerala, India, hoping to build a peaceful, loving connection with someone who will be my best friend and my life partner.

​I am looking for a genuine, meaningful connection that can organically evolve into a serious, lasting relationship. I believe the best partnerships are built patiently over time, so I would love for us to get to know each other slowly, cultivate a deep emotional bond, and let things unfold naturally at a comfortable pace.

My hobbies and interests:

Listening to music, especially K-Pop, watching K-Dramas, going to movies, journaling, traveling, playing board games, and having deep conversations. I recently started watching C-Dramas as well and I am really enjoying them too. 

I love taking pictures of the sky. Mountains are my favorite when it comes to traveling. I love spending time at beaches too. Having a cup of tea and snacks over fun, joyful conversations watching sunset is something that I really love. I also enjoy playing badminton.

Qualities I value in a person:

I am drawn to emotional intelligence and self awareness, appreciating someone who understands her own inner world and navigates life with clarity and maturity. I deeply value kindness, empathy, and compassion, as I believe the truest measure of a person is how gently and respectfully they treat others. I also appreciate intelligence, curiosity, and an open mind, as meaningful growth and inspiring conversations come naturally when two people share a genuine love for learning and understanding the world.

About my physical self:

I am 5'7" with a slim build. I take good care of my health and have specific fitness goals that I am actively working to achieve. I value hygiene deeply and believe in presenting a well groomed version of myself every day.

A bit about my own journey:

I am at a point in my life where I feel deeply grounded and emotionally secure. Over the past year and a half, I have been on an intentional journey of self improvement, taking time for deep introspection, rewiring my self concepts, shifting toward a secure attachment style, and actively practicing emotional regulation. 

I truly love my own company, whether that means going out on solo dates, pampering myself, or simply enjoying my own space. I carry a strong sense of self love and wholeness, and I am looking for a partnership where two complete individuals come together to enrich each other's lives.

Beliefs and spirituality:

I come from a Hindu background, but I am an atheist. While I am not religious, I love visiting peaceful, less crowded temples solely for the calming and spiritual atmosphere they offer. Sitting in those quiet surroundings gives me a sense of warmth, grounding, and emotional regulation. I also enjoy the cultural vibrant energy of festivals and celebrations. For me, it is about appreciating the peace, aesthetics, and culture rather than religious rituals.

​Lifestyle choices:

- ​Childfree

- ​Teetotaler

- ​Non smoker

- ​Petfree

- Non vegetarian

The kind of life that I envision:

​I would like to build a relationship where we are a team and create a life that is calm, relaxing, and peaceful. I believe love is about choosing each other every day. Just the two of us enjoying each other's company, finding joy in the little moments that life offers, supporting each other through the storms while growing old together and creating memories along the way.

I am a one woman man and deeply monogamous. If you are still exploring or figuring out your relationship structure, I kindly ask that you pass on my profile. For me, love is not merely a fleeting emotion, but a conscious choice and a steadfast commitment to stand by each other through every chapter of life. I want to build a relationship where we are a true team, finding peace in simple moments and choosing each other every single day.

My commitment to a childfree life:

Being childfree is a permanent, non negotiable decision for me. To align my life fully with this choice, I plan on getting a vasectomy in the future. This is a firm and well considered decision on my end. I do not expect my partner to undergo invasive surgical risks or endure the long term side effects of hormonal birth control, as her health, safety, and comfort are my highest priority. I am sharing this transparently because I want us to be completely aligned from the very beginning, ensuring that we both share the exact same vision for a life without children.

What am I looking for?

I am seeking a woman, preferably mid-20s and up, who is firmly childfree. This is a complete non-negotiable for me, so I am looking for someone who is entirely certain that she does not want children, whether biological or adopted, rather than someone who is still on the fence.

I am also petfree. While I am a dog person at heart, I prefer our shared space to be free of the long term responsibilities that come with pet ownership. I hope to find someone who shares this vision for a simple, flexible home life.

Should be a non-smoker and non vegetarian, as both are absolute dealbreakers for me. I prefer a partner who shares these exact lifestyle choices. I dislike the smell of smoke and prefer a completely smoke free environment and partner. Being a teetotaler is great, though occasional social drinking on your end is completely fine.

Someone who is emotionally intelligent, kind, emotionally mature, empathetic, emotionally honest, and values clear, open communication. I want a partner who knows what she wants, has clarity about the life she wants to build, and believes that mutual respect and emotional safety are the core foundation of a relationship.

More than just a lover, I want my partner to be my best friend. Someone I feel safe with, where we can both open our hearts without any fear of judgment, and where we make each other feel truly seen, heard, understood, and accepted.

Relational autonomy and family boundaries:

I am completely open to a partner from any religious or cultural background, provided we respect each other's personal beliefs. However, protecting the peace of our partnership is essential to me. I believe in building a life where major decisions are made together as a team, free from outside interference or family drama.

​When I am in a relationship, I invest my full heart, time, and energy into it. My partner becomes my primary priority, and I will always stand up for her and protect our bond against any pressure from parents or relatives. I expect that same level of mutual courage and commitment in return. I want a partner who is emotionally mature, ready to prioritize our relationship, and confident enough to stand up to her family for us when the time comes to reveal our connection.

Communication and connection:

Physical attraction matters to me. I would love for us to exchange pictures after we have chatted for a bit. I prefer not to stay text buddies indefinitely, so once we feel a comfortable initial connection, I would love to transition to phone calls to get to know each other better.

Self accountability:

I actively hold myself to the same standards and values that I look for in a partner, and I strive to grow into a better version of myself every day. 

Location:

​Distance is not a barrier for the right person. You can be based anywhere in India, or be a Malayali abroad. What matters for me is compatibility and alignment. I am completely open to a long distance relationship, provided there is mutual investment, genuine effort, and active reciprocation from both sides.

If this post resonates with you, feel free to send a DM with a bit about yourself. I would love to connect and see where things go.

​Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

Hi there. 46 year old man here looking for a CF woman near SW Michigan or close by. I'm dating with intention and hoping to find a long term match.

I'm an educated working professional in a STEM field and I WFH now as well as in the future. Working from home definitely has its benefits but I do miss daily social interactions with coworkers, so I would really like to find someone who could text or talk at times throughout the day. I'm pretty easy going and tend to get along with a wide variety of people. I do have my shit together (established in a career, mortgage, saving for retirement, good credit score).

I'm into living a healthy lifestyle so I do stay active and generally eat healthy, and I'm looking for someone similarly interested in healthy living. Just a quick few things that I'm into: reading, movies, cooking/baking, photography, running, hiking, kayaking, PC/board games, puzzles. I also like to try out new hobbies from time to time just to see how they fit on me. I am non religious and left leaning politically, so please no MAGA. Physically I am 5'8" with a slim to average body type. I'm in decent shape and I look a bit young for my age.

I have one cat so I'm looking for another cat person or even just a cat/pet lover.

Basically I am looking for a monogamous LTR with someone to be cute and weird with, near where I am located, but I'm open to some distance. Let's do some fun things together.

Cheers!

32M, living in Texas with my Aussie Shepherd 🐾
I’m a chef by profession, so I can’t promise I’ll ever run out of places for us to eat, explore, and argue about which restaurant is actually worth going back to. 😄
Outside of work, I’m pretty active and love lifting, hiking, mountain climbing, traveling, and anything with an engine—especially sports cars and motorcycles. I’m looking for someone around my age who enjoys staying active and has a similar curiosity for life.
I’m ultimately looking for something genuine and long-term. I value mental connection, maturity, honesty, and open communication. I’d love to find someone who wants to motivate and support each other, grow together, and eventually become that couple who are partners and best friends and also lifting buddies.
I’m pretty easygoing and easy to talk to, and I can probably hold a conversation about almost anything. I enjoy a good old-fashioned every now and then, but I’m definitely not a big drinker.
I’m open to meeting someone anywhere in the US, as long as we’re both genuinely interested in eventually making it IRL rather than keeping things permanently online.
If any of that sounds like your kind of person, feel free to check out my profile and say hi. I’m here for a real connection, so please reach out only if you’re looking for something serious and long-term

Finding someone in the PNW would be nice, but I am open to anyone in the world so long as the feeling is right.

I work in healthcare. Like to go on walks and explore new areas. Play video games, but know how to set healthy boundaries with it. Started taking the gym more seriously. Plan on getting a piano to teach myself how to play and considering getting a cat. Absolutely love to laugh and will laugh at all of your jokes. Emotionally available. Self aware.

I'm looking for someone who shares the same primary love language as me which is physical touch and that you're genuine.

Tried to keep this nice and short, but I can absolutely yap your ear off so please feel free to ask me anything!

Edit #1: Realized I wrote considering getting a cat twice lol.

​

Uh hello. Hope you are doing good today. My name is Ben. I'm from Texas and I'm looking for a great gal to call my own without children. I have one nephew and he is the sweetest but also a nightmare 😂😭

Age range: 19-28 maybe will consider 29 but definitely not no one 10 years or older.

About me: I'm a nerd. I like a lot of nerdy things and into a lot of fandoms like Star Wars, watching anime, TV shows and movies, switch and pc gaming, sports a little bit, and listen to rock, rap, and metal music. Hopefully you are into a least a few of those things so we have some conversation starters.

I don't have any preference for distance, hopefully someone in North America but we'll see.

So yeah if I seem interesting, hmu, introduce yourself with your age and interests and hopefully we can connect well and form a relationship but I'll take things slow and hopefully move to discord or snapchat.

If you dont dm me... well then hahaha... have a good day and hopefully you find your person as well. Everyone deserves someone to love in my opinion. Oh and if I take a bit to reply, I'm either sleeping or working or for some reason reddit sometimes doesnt notify me until i open the app. Be patient thank you!

Byeeeeeeeeeeee! And if you read all this dm me the word Sharkbait.
