M28, One last try. Hoping you see this- my one!!! (if you exist here on reddit)

28, from NCR, Hopeless romantic, homebody, mostly quiet, in essence a funny nerd but you can't stop me from talking once I get really comfortable.

Loves literature (fiction/non fiction/prose/poetry/hindi/english), cinema(from trashy bollywood to critically acclaimed regional films). I am what you call who loves novelty, creativity and honest efforts when it comes to art.

I root for the underdogs, jump on to try the latest tech, romanticise simplicity and yet aim for everything in life. I am ambitious but I am against the hustle culture.

Professionally- an engineer;

personally I like to believe I'm a polymath (but an average one at best 🤣)

----------

What am I looking for?

Yeah, well, if you are still reading this and finding me to be someone interesting then yeah I would love someone who gets me. Who is curious about the world but also have a sense of contentment with what tools they have to perceive it.

Come let's have a chat.... and see if we can vibe along and only if luck allows maybe build something really magical and long term 🌻

----------

Few questions that were asked to me before and the answers were quite upsetting. So I'm answering them here before so that I don't disappoint anyone.

I am 5'7", non vegetarian, earn above 25LPA, occasionally drink beer (nothing else), non-smoker (would prefer a non -smoker) and an atheist.

[Update] Banned from hinge for bullying and harrasment - Story time!!!

Hi, So I made a Hinge account last week. And today on Friday I finally got some time to send likes.

I came across a profile of a girl where her first prompt was asking men to have a good grasp on the grammar and know the difference between words like "you're" and "your" as it's bare minimum (screenshot attached).

In her second prompt she made a grammatical error of using "its" in place of "it's". (screenshot attached)

I thought it would be funny to call her out on this her "bare minimum" should also apply to her.

She didn't take it in a nice way. She doubled down on her own mistake and said something grammatically wrong again that "its" and "it's" do not have different meanings.

To which I said they do. And attached a link to the google image where it clearly showed a distinction between the meanings of both the words.

And she got really angry and reported me. And I got banned.

You can argue that maybe I shouldn't have called her out, or it's so silly and stupid of me. To which I will agree ki yeah I was just trying to tease her on her grammatical errors but only because it was her bare minimum to begin with.

I just have one question how is it "bullying/harassment"? And how is it fair that I am denied to use a dating app anymore?

u/iLoveCatsAndTech — 3 days ago

so the "bare minimum" apparently doesn't apply to her 😭

I just wanted to ragebait her into replying me. Which she did. But instead of taking the joke, she hit me with the condescending "Damn boy" and tried to pull off some olympic-level mental gymnastics to explain why her mistake was just "punctuation" but your/you're changes the "whole different meaning".

Edit: I have been banned from Hinge for harassment and bullying. 🥲🔪

28[M4F] NCR- Can we please chuck the mind games & be real for a second?

Note: if you are someone who plays mind games, not sure what they want, below 25, not in NCR or planning to be here in future, right-winger, or have shallow preferences- you can stop reading this & i wish you good luck.

For the rest of you-

Hi,

I'm 28 & have spent my fair share of time on dating apps and the dynamics are pretty f'ed up! More than that you are just a commodity being looked at until a better product comes along.

Currently I live in Gurgaon & plan to do so for the near future. I have a good job (AI was not able to take it- yet!). I earn well and maintain a decent lifestyle.

What I seek is a partner who is kind, loves comfortable silences, a little old school and be open to the new experiences and learning.

I am of the philosophy that ego can't live between two people who want to make a relationship together. You both have to understand each other and make a balance in a way it benefits both of you. Having a partner is a blessing especially when they are understanding and kind.

I know it's very weird to find someone here.... But I am just trying out my luck and hoping it works.

I am an atheist and a non vegetarian. I rarely consume alcohol (but 100% not a fan). I don't smoke. If you are not okay with any of the following it's better to not reach out. Because you should choose someone who aligns with your habits or way of lifestyle.

If you have any more questions, or feel like reaching out for something meaningful to happen I'd love that.

Thanks!

Hii!

Things that might:

atheist, feminist ally, NOT a fan of status quo, will be kind to you unless you hurt my cat (then I'm not so kind). trivia buff (will take you to random quiz shows, tell you about the rabbit hole i went in last night at 3am...).

Things I'm trying to be good at:

(Spoiler alert: failing miserably) Cooking, watching the same show again, public speaking, not letting AI take away my job.

What I’m looking for:

A woman who is self-aware, creative, NOT a hardcore religious person, preferably in NCR, and loves holding a good conversation. Someone who enjoys exploring hidden cafes in the city, sharing music playlists, or just having a genuine, unfiltered laugh over a cup of chai (from masala to matcha - I prefer all)

28 [M4F] Gurgaon/NCR - Looking for old school love/serious long-term connection.

In The Office, I hated what Jim did to Karen. It's something I see happening around me all the time. People with unresolved trauma or who still aren't over their exes jump into new relationships, only to end up hurting their partners.

​

Hi there! I'm 28 and living in Gurgaon. I earn a decent living and like to keep things simple and grounded. I'm the kind of person who was a backbencher in class but still loved all the nerdy stuff. I enjoy good conversations, learning random things, and finding the fun in everyday life.

​

If you are down for something serious and fun my DMs are open!

28 [M4F] NCR- looking for a gf (D2M/long-term only)

Hi, It's hard to find the right words to describe yourself but I will try:

​

I am a product engineer, decent looks, living with my cat, and fed up with dating apps. So trying my luck over here.

​

To put it simply I am 2 persons living in one- I love going out but I also love staying in. I love street food but then I also adore cooking on my own. I love tech but then I travel to mountains/beaches to stay tf away from that. I love having a balance between the two. And this duality will show up in my taste in movies, music, art, dressing sense, and in life in general.

​

What I am looking for:

​

Idk if I have a type?... but I would definitely like someone who is opinionated, kind & wholesome. We can figure out the trivial things later.

​

See you stranger!

28 [M4F] Gurgaon/NCR- A mix of movies, music & memes looking for genuine long term connection

Hii!

​

Putting myself out there to see if the Reddit algorithm can work some magic. I’m a 28-year-old software engineer living in Gurgaon, but don't worry... I promise my entire personality isn't just writing code and drinking coffee (though I do a fair bit of both).

​

Something about me:

​

I love being creative - be it in my job or personal life.

​

Massive fan of streetwear and comfortable, baggy silhouettes.

​

I balance city life with a deep appreciation for the simpler things... like spending time around nature, cooking, & sometimes working out.

​

What I’m looking for:

​

A woman who is self-aware, creative, and loves holding a good conversation. Someone who enjoys exploring hidden cafes in the city, sharing music playlists, or just having a genuine, unfiltered laugh over a cup of chai (from masala to matcha - I prefer all)

​

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to drop a slide into my DMs! Tell me your current favorite track or your go-to comfort food to break the ice. Let's see where a good conversation takes us.

28[M4F] Gurgaon - Looking to explore food & good banter

New to the place here... looking for someone who is into exploring food, cafes, & a good conversation over food and drives.

I am respectful, politically aware, and I'd like to believe my jokes are fun (sorry for humble bragging).

I am not looking for any kind of commitment/relationship just more of a casual hangout but I'm open to have a serious commitment if it comes organically. But that's not my agenda to start with. I believe being friends first is important.

What I love - music, storytelling, cinema, some nerdy stuff... listening to people.

Let me know if it clicks with you? DMs are open 🩷🌻

Hey,

I think being knowledgeable is cool... it could be anything. You can be passionate about anything from your current job to an absolute niche topic that only 3 people care about in the world.

If you care about people you love and you value common sense.

If you can stand against the wrong and are of the ideology that change is important for good intellectual growth.

If you are ethically concerned about things around you.

If you are looking for someone to give you company (for the rest of your life) and hopefully fall in love unconditionally.

I am just a DM away ❤️
