Find Your Next Partner Here! - [Weekly] MegaThread

Hi everyone!

We understand that loneliness can be difficult, and that many people are looking for meaningful connections that they may not find through traditional dating apps.

With that in mind, the mod team is opening this weekly relationship megathread as a dedicated space for people looking to meet someone for a genuine relationship.

Please read the rules carefully before participating.

Who Can Comment?

Guys

Due to the heavily skewed gender ratio and concerns around unsolicited messages, only guys should make introductory comments in the thread.

Please use the following format:

> A, E, L > > A: 27 > E: Looking for a serious relationship; someone who enjoys travelling; emotionally available and communicative > L: Chandigarh > > About me: I work in ___, enjoy ___, and spend my free time ___.

Please include:

1. Your age
2. Your city/location
3. At least 3 things you expect from a relationship
4. Your hobbies and interests
5. Anything important that potential partners should know
6. Any relevant constraints or preferences

Be honest and clear from the beginning. There is no need to pretend to be someone you are not.

Women

Women are encouraged to reach out to people they are genuinely interested in rather than posting introductory comments themselves.

You can comment, DM, or initiate a conversation with someone you feel you may connect with.

Please remember that this is an open Reddit thread, and the mod team cannot control who may send you messages. You can keep your DMs closed through your Reddit settings if you prefer.

LGBTQIA+

LGBTQIA+ users are welcome to participate.

If someone contacts you in bad faith, harasses you, or deliberately violates the purpose of this thread, please report them to the mod team with evidence where possible.

Appropriate action, including a ban, may be taken.

DMs and Personal Safety

You do not have to open your DMs to participate.

We recommend:

1. Start the conversation publicly where possible.

2. Move to DMs only when you are comfortable.

3. Do not share your phone number, address, workplace, financial information, or other sensitive personal information too quickly.

4. Verify that the person you are talking to is who they claim to be.

5. Meet in a public place if you eventually decide to meet offline.

6. Tell a trusted person where you are going.

7. Trust your instincts and end the conversation if something feels wrong.

This is a community thread, not a dating service, and the moderators are not responsible for what happens after users connect.

No Irrelevant Comments

Keep the thread focused on its purpose.

Irrelevant, spammy, trolling, argumentative, or otherwise disruptive comments may be removed and can result in a temporary or permanent ban depending on the circumstances.

Please do not turn someone's introduction into an argument or mock their preferences.

---

Respect People's Preferences

Everyone has different expectations, interests, and preferences.

You are allowed to decide that someone is not compatible with you.

If you are not interested, simply move on.

---

No AI-Generated Creepy or Spam Comments

Using AI does not exempt you from the rules.

If you use AI to generate comments, replies, introductions, DMs, or other content that is sexual, creepy, harassing, manipulative, unsolicited, or otherwise inappropriate, it will be treated exactly the same as if you had written it yourself.

AI-assisted rule-breaking = permanent ban.

---

Final Reminder

This thread exists to help people find genuine connections and potential relationships.

If your intention is to:

• Find a hookup
• "Have some fun"
• Solicit NSFW interactions
• Make creepy advances
• Harass or objectify someone
• Spam people
• Use AI to generate comments or messages
• Otherwise behave inappropriately

DO NOT PARTICIPATE.

Violations of the sexual, NSFW, hookup, creepy-behaviour, harassment, or AI-assisted content prohibiting policies will result in an immediate and permanent subreddit ban.

Be respectful. Be honest. Be safe.

Good luck, everyone, and please treat each other like actual people.

I am 22F, and around two years back, I was molested by my mom's cousin. When I shared it with my mother, she refused to believe me. I don't have father or any sibling. My mom's sister, unmarried, lives with us along with my mom's mother. They both sided with my mother, and I was cornered, and all three of them never believed me.

After that incident, all of them behaved as if nothing has happened and talk very normally, even to him, laughing and everything. They mention his name while talking at times and it takes me back to the day when that incident happened and how traumatized I was. And even though I told mom once that what you are doing is really hurting me, she apologized, yet it did not improve her behavior. All this has left a very deep wound.

I'm currently studying for CA. I can't focus on my studies. Somewhere I feel like taking revenge, but I don't know how to. I just want to slap him once. After I saw how my own family reacted, I can't trust anybody with this information. I don't know what to do.

I also want to be financially independent asap so that I can move out of this house. What should I do? How do I focus on my career and studies leaving behind and ignoring whatever is happening in my house?

Tell me what should be the most important things and your perception on how what habits are best to be that.

Today my brother and I went to drop our cousin at the railway station and when we came back. I came to my room and heard branches falling. There's a mango tree just in front of room window, I told my brother someone was cutting our tree. We both went to check. Turns out this man was from a bijali vibhaag cutting our tree. Nobody was home btw. This man jumped off the boundary and started chopping. I saw that and I cried. I called my father and said "papa inne mera ped kaat diya" and crying. Father said kal aake dekhta hu me we'll do something...

The tree is still there he just chopped some parts of it.

Now..after a while I'm thinking is it normal, To cry over a tree? Is it because I watched it grow from lil plant to big tree so I felt bad I feel confused and weird and kinda embarrassed too. I think I overreacted 🫪 Idk wtf I was thinking.

For the past month or so I've noticed that even the smallest things can completely ruin my mood for the entire day. One tiny thing happens and suddenly I feel numb lonely disappointed and overwhelmed and then I start overthinking everything and end up fighting with people for no reason

It's like I can't feel one emotion without it turning into ten other emotions and I genuinely don't know how to deal with it anymore

So how do you guys deal with your emotions? How do you stop one bad thing from ruining your entire day?

And please don't tell me to go out with friends or talk to them because I don't really have friends and I'm mostly stuck at home rn

Give me your best advice whether it's practical healthy stupid or absolutely unhinged at this point I'll take anything

I'm 18M and a trader ( still struggling ). I can't talk to anyone or any of my school friends about my career or what's happening in my life - I've to keep everything to myself and I can't keep friendships for long enough. It hurts but I don't know how to channelize or remove the hurting feeling and I wanna know what is that thing that's hurting me to the core - is it the struggle or is it the feeling of having no one to tell about the struggle and hardships. Advice from someone who has escaped this web of regrets would help

To all the men and women out there: get off Reddit, Instagram, and X.

The algorithms are rigged against both genders. Social media feeds on hate far more than it does on love, and it's designed to keep us angry.

Think about it - in real life, no one hates each other at first sight. In the real world, men will almost always step up to help a woman out, and women will naturally show care and empathy when they see a man hurting or in trouble.

Social media and its algorithms are actively dividing us because that is exactly what the system wants. Don't fall for it. Don't work for it.

In real life, you have so many opportunities to give and receive love. Men and women need each other. That’s exactly why we fight sometimes, just like siblings, parents, or lovers do. We care, but we are letting the internet corrupt how we see each other. Go outside, talk to real people, and stop letting an app tell you how to feel about the opposite gender.

PS: I am a man, for context.
