Just want to put this out there gently. I noticed that a lot of people on this sub myself included have had really horrible experiences with relationships. And even if that’s not the case, everyone (mostly) has the belief that they’re better off single full stop. It seems a bit extreme. Or are there people with a more moderate outlook that like, yeah right now things are really nice being single and happy, and yeah shitty relationships will suck and make you hate life. BUT maybe at some point, maybeeeee, you could meet someone that makes life easier, richer, more fulfilling.

Or is everyone here just downright against even having a glimmer of hope? Because if so honestly feels a bit anti social and misanthropic. Which I am, to a degree, but look, we can’t discount that we might meet a partner that makes life even better. It’s theoretically possible.

Unless you believe that fundamentally that’s not possible and your beliefs are that no matter what it will always turn sour, too difficult, and solitude is always better.

I guess that’s a bit of a tangent. Thoughts?

I (31M) used to live in Kunming, China for a couple years and was quite fluent in Mandarin. I’ve lost a bit of it and would love to find some Mandarin-speaking friends to practice with. I speak Italian and German, and could also help you with your English. If we get a big enough group we could start a Mandarin table — though I’d prefer if it was a group of advanced speakers rather than beginner/intermediate.

我想找住在波士顿的会说中文的朋友。我是心理学的博士，工作在哈佛。如果你想互相联系中文和英文请DM**我**** ****谢谢呀！**😊

Edit: idk why there’s some formatting issues with the Chinese characters when I publish the post…. Please disregard

Pleaseeeeeeeee.
Have no idea how this sub works....

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for 1–3 roommates in their late 20s to mid-30s to team up and find a place together in Cambridge, Somerville, or central Boston (open to nearby areas as well). My budget is $1,000–$1,500/month. Looking for 9/1 move in but am flexible a bit.

About Me:
—31M, PhD in Psychology. I teach at Harvard in the spring, work clinically in Copley Square, and am taking classes part-time.
—Living Style: Very clean, reliable, and responsible. I tend to keep a low profile and value a quiet, respectful living space, but I’m always happy to hang out when time permits.
—Pet: I have an insanely affectionate, sweet 10-month-old cat who loves people

What I’m Looking For:
—Fellow young professionals/grad students (late 20s to mid-30s).
—Clean, responsible, and financially reliable folks who want to build a comfortable, relaxed home together.

If you’re looking for a roommate to hunt for a place with, please DM me with a bit about yourself, what kind of setup you're hoping to find, and your timeline!

Hey everyone,
31M living in Allston, looking to expand my circle and make some new friends in the area.
Have my PhD in psychology, and research psychedelic therapy.
Down for a low-key night out. anyone around 30+ —especially fellow academics / professionals in mental health — down to grab a drink in Allston tonight? DM me!

Hey everyone! I’m a 31M looking to team up with one or more folks to find a multi-bedroom place (a 2bed/2bath would be absolute perfection) for a September 1st move-in.

A Little About Me: I work full-time in the mental health/healthcare space. My office is based in Copley Square, but I'm incredibly flexible on location. I'm actively looking at Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Allston/Brighton, and the surrounding Greater Boston areas.
When I’m off the clock, I’m pretty low-key. I love hiking, traveling, checking out new food spots, or just playing a bit of music and chilling out at home after a long day.

The Important Details:
I have a 9-month-old cat who is exceptionally friendly, social, and affectionate. He is a great roommate in his own right.

Budget: Around $1,500/month for my share, but I have some flexibility for the right spot.

Vibe/Expectations: I’m looking to share a space with young working professionals or grad students. I highly value a clean, tidy, and peaceful living environment. I'm looking for a home that is a relaxed sanctuary to unwind in, so a generally quiet baseline is a must (no constant party houses, please!).

If you think we’d be a good fit to hunt for a place together—or if you already have an open master bedroom/bath that fits the bill—drop a comment or shoot me a DM with a bit about yourself!
