33 [M4F] #OrangeCounty, California - looking to connect, no LDR

Nerdy, witty, and here to threaten you with a healthy relationship 🔫

I'm 33, male, 180lb, 6'0",  Asian, average build. A professional engineer by day and a food dispenser for my cat by night.

Living independently and indulging in my various hobbies that include anime, videogames, mountain biking, cooking, sleeping, and cafe hopping. Big fan of various nerdy things such as Pokemon, Honkai: Star Rail, Hololive, Game Grumps, and FFXIV. Currently fumbling my way through being a homeowner.

I find it hard to meet people while I'm out and about or potatoing inside so wanted to try here lol. Just looking to find a special lady to tell jokes to and see where it goes from there. Just no one overweight please. Hoping to pursue something meaningful down the road if we click.

21 [M4F] #Connecticut

Hey, I’m Sav — 21 CT, active duty, and looking to meet someone I can genuinely connect with.

I’ve been replying to posts for a while, but it’s time to make my own. I’m not here for flings or chaos — I’m looking for something steady, meaningful, and built on real communication.

Who I am:

• Active duty with a stable full‑time career
• currently going to college while AD as a Triple major in Finance, Psychology, and Mathematics. (graduated HS 2 years early!)
• Writer — I’ve completed full novels, and one of them (The Place Where It Happens) is currently with a traditional publisher
• Music has been a huge part of my life:
• 14 years classical piano
• 11 years classical guitar
• 9 years saxophone

• I paint (digital/oil‑style), cook, and spend a lot of time outdoors
• I build entire worlds in Minecraft when I want to unwind — forests, cities, hidden places
• Calm, steady, grounded
• Very emotionally intelligent — I pick up on social cues, dynamics, and unspoken things extremely well
• I connect with almost anyone because I actually listen and understand people deeply
• I don’t judge — at all.
If you’re comfortable sharing something, I’m comfortable hearing it.

What I’m looking for:

Someone who values:

• consistency
• emotional maturity
• slow‑burn connection
• loyalty
• real communication
• someone who shows up

I’m introverted but warm once I trust someone. I like long conversations, quiet moments, and learning how someone thinks — what shaped them, what they care about, what they dream about.

Things we might connect on:

• Music (classical, indie, ambient, anything with depth)
• Psychology and understanding people
• Hiking, long walks, nature
• Gaming (Nintendo, Minecraft, story‑driven games)
• Cooking and trying new recipes
• Deep conversations, slow nights in, and building something meaningful
• Anything you have passion for, or deeply care about.

If you’re looking for someone stable, thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and genuinely interested in who you are — not who you pretend to be — I’d like to talk.

Just be 18 or older, thanks.

Tell me something about you — what’s one thing you wish people noticed about you more often?

M/24 looking for gaming friends

Hi! I’m 24 and from California. Looking for gaming friends, I play dbd , league , Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, etc a lot of games lol

u/Prestigegaymer — 20 hours ago

F34 (F4A) #California

Hi, Let's start with the basics. I am looking for a long term life partner and am strictly monogamous. I like all genders, trans and non-conforming included. I fall under demisexual so I take things physically and emotionally slow. I have done extremely long distance before but have no real desire for that anymore. Looking for someone who lives within an hour or two (give or take) within driving distance of me now.

I am kink friendly and though that's not a requirement for my partner it is definitely a plus. My partner must love dogs. They are a huge part of my work life and personal life.

I am a published author working on my second book and a petcarer/dog trainer (though I don't do near as much of this as I used to). I am an avid reader (mostly fiction), gamer (both video games, board games and strategy card games when I can find another player), used to play d and d, and just am a general nerd in anything animals. I am passionate and creative.

I am looking for someone who is confident, calm, who can be my rock when the world gets a little unsteady, who is compassionate and sympathetic, who craves to understand not just me but the world, who wants to learn, who doesn't mind listening to me babble, who has ambitions and works of self improvement even if sometimes it takes a while to happen. Its the act of trying that matters to me.

I like watching crime dramas and cooking competitions in the background when I am relaxing. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy relaxing at home. I walk a ton for work, but still land on the heavy/curvy side. Ummm any questions feel free to ask?

26 [M4F] Online/NJ Looking for genuine connection & someone to share nerdy hobbies with!

Hi I'm Alex!

I'm 5'11", fit, and spend most days working from home, exercising, gaming, doing digital art, or cosplaying!
If you share any of these hobbies PLEASE hit me up and lets get to know each other!

Besides those I also play DnD, am currently learning 3d modelling/animation, and have a billion other hobbies I want to spend more time on but haven't quite had the time to dive into.

I find emotional intelligence super attractive and prefer a nice slow burn as we get to know each other, although for the right person & if the vibes are right, I'd definitely love a more intimate connection!

I prefer voice chat and would love to connect on Discord, and if you're nearby I'd love to travel to cons together! That or any event/cafe/etc you have in mind :)

19[NB4M] #Online ~ Queer soul seeking romantic connections

✨️ Taking another shot at this! ✨️

Hii internet people, my name's Arlowe (she/they). Last post didn't do so well so I'm trying again. I'm 19yrs old, turning 20 later in the year, and I'm nonbinary. I'm a feminine person, but I don't like boxing myself like that because anything can feel comfortable at any time.

I'm a soft and kind soul that often spreads love, but no pushover. I like conversing with people deeply because surface-level stuff doesn't have enough room for engagement. That's not to say I want every conversation to be insightful necessarily, but I like chatting beyond "how's the weather," and things like that.

My hobbies include writing, listening to music, watching TV, gaming, and baking. Although it's been a long while since I've baked. Games I play are Among Us and Minecraft. Yes, I play that at my big age. Music I love includes pop, a bit of hip-hop, a tinge of indie, some RnB and dance pop. Ariana Grande's my number 1.

Appearance wise I'm brown-skinned, short, have long hair, a bit of 'stache sometimes, dark eyes, and a slim body. I'll add a link to my pics at the end.

Oh, my voice is androgynous if that matters? Idk sometimes it's femme, sometimes it's masc. Stating this in case someone wants to call on discord or something.

What I'm looking for is a friends-to-lovers dynamic. Although romantic attractions comes faster for me, I still like getting to know someone as a friend before anything goes further. Whether a guy is cis or trans doesn't matter to me. I'm into soft masculines too. I also prefer being with bi/pan guys. Height doesn't matter much to me. I'm also asexual so sexual attraction isn't that important to me.

Seeing as I posted pics, I'd also like an early exchange of pictures. Physical attraction does matter to me.

Anyway, I'm keen on seeing I meet!

Hey Reddit 👋 my name’s Isaac and I’ve been lurking for a while, tho this is my first post on one of these types of subreddits. I’m in search of someone that can be at least somewhat nerdy, but not stereotypical so. Does that make sense?

Basically, I’d like a woman that can easily learn all of my hobbies (paintball, laser tag, trivia game nights, board games, fantasy sports leagues etc) and became good at them. In return I’d happily go out of my way to learn yours.

About me: I’m 5’11, slim-medium build, Latino, and work full-time as senior paralegal for a trusts and estates firm. In my free time besides being a nerd, I volunteer as a big brother (BBBS of America) to a young man on the autism spectrum. Personality-wise I’d say I’m pretty easy going but stern when necessary, funny but mature, and competitive but in a friendly way lol.

About you: In decent shape, shorter than me, kind, funny, ambitious, unique (many ways to be), loyal, and empathetic. Don’t really have much other physical preferences. You’d probably be surprised at the wide ranging phenotypes of my exes. When in doubt, just shoot your shot and the absolute worst you can get from me is a “you’re gorgeous, just not really what I’m looking for” 😆

Here’s me and Lucky: https://imgur.com/a/45XfYB3

32[M4F]#California(SoCal)- Seeking relationship

Hey everyone! Hope y’all are having a fun and safe 4th of July. Figured I’d give this a shot.
I’m currently a Respiratory Therapy student working toward that big boy career. When I’m not buried in school, you’ll usually find me out hiking, hitting the gym, or doing something to stay active. On my downtime, I’m a big gamer, and I recently fell down the anime rabbit hole, so I’m always looking for recommendations.
If you’re into good conversations, bad jokes, gaming, or spontaneous adventures, feel free to say hi.

#Detroit 35 [M4R] Talk to me for realzys

​

Things I like: Cosplay, anime, animation, video games such as; RTS, Tycoon, Life sim, Shooters, MOBAs I'll put up with if it's really important to you.

If any of that is cool, then cool. Maybe you like cool stuff too and can tell me your cool stuff as well.

What are your values though? You want to build something or maybe settle down? You just looking for another dweeb to hang with, or a serious relationship where we both don't bullshit each other's mental illnesses.

If that sounds interesting DM I guess. Even if you just wanna chill I'm down. Let's just say fuck it and do shit.

31 [M4F/TF] #US - Looking for that special someone

Hello! I’ve posted here a few times over the years and wanted to give this another try to see if my person is somewhere out there in the world. I’m hoping to get to know someone who is interested in building a meaningful relationship together when the connection is there and things feel right. Something long distance isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but ideally I would like to meet someone who is also in the US.

Writing introductions isn’t a strong point for me. I think there’s more excitement and mystery in getting to know someone through conversation instead of throwing out all the details at once, so I’ll just leave some basic things here!

Personality-wise I can be a little shy and I’m mostly introverted, but once I open up to someone, I can be really talkative, even about the most random things. I enjoy small things in life, even a late night talking about something as mundane with work with my partner is enough to make me happy. Whether it’s deep conversations or sitting in silence, I appreciate quality time and just being able to feel the presence of my partner.

Some of my interests would be music, hiking, watching old 90’s anime, and playing video games. I’m mostly a homebody but it’s nice to be able to get out to enjoy nature every once in a while. Music is definitely the hobby I invest the most in, and I spend a lot of my free time writing and singing. I’m currently learning different instruments and hope to release songs of my own someday as a passion project. Bonus points if you’re someone who wants to make random playlists together. I’m also quite health conscious so I focus on exercise and eating clean daily.

While personality is an important factor in dating, I believe physical attraction is also important, so I am open to exchanging pictures early on to get the awkward part out of the way.

If you’re still here and find yourself interested, send me a chat and let’s see where things go! And if not I wish you the best of luck on your search!

37 CF WHIMSICAL FAIRY VIBES

Good Morning! I posted here last night and my inbox is trashed, so I'm currently sifting through the rubble but I thought I'd post here and in a couple more communities.

I'm going on a hike this morning and would love some verbal or virtual company.

What am I looking for? Hm. You know, I'd like to chat aimlessly with a handsome/beautiful stranger. I'm looking for someone with a little ✨️ zazz ✨️ and enough wit, word count and sentence structure to get me interested. I like weird but most importantly confident people who aren't ashamed to be themselves. Also, this is totally niche but if you try to negg me - you'll get blocked. I am incredibly confident and won't be rattled by a whole lot.

Mutual attraction is majorly important: https://imgur.com/a/ZAdN53v

I'm terrible at describing myself but I'll give you some bullet points:

Alt/Goth/Hippie/Tattooed Bisexual Woman

5'6 1/2 (no boots) 5'7 1/2 (with boots)

Curvy, Flirty and likely already sick of your shit.

Horror Movies>literally everything else

Diet Coke>literally everything else

CLE OH.

"Tan everywhere, JAN everywhere."

Come, sit and have coffee with me.

Hey first post here and I thought to myself "this is the perfect place for my people" but yes My name is Merlin, and I am looking for my witch to conjure demons together. I love all nerdy things and enjoy the simple things in life. I am currently on a journey to better myself and been doing great so far, id love to have some company while doing so! Let's make some magic?

Looking for someone to game with and possibly a FWB to review my nudes before I post them to my sites. 🐺🦊

22 [F4M] #Florida - Whimsical weeb looking for a tall nerdy guy to love on

Hi everyone. Thought I’d repost with some different photos I haven’t posted anywhere else! I’m Jaz. I’m from Central Florida. TBH, I’ve been into nerds, my whole life (since I’ve been into dating). If you’re from the area you probably already know how hard it is to find nerds here. While something local would be nice, I am open to long distance since I know my kind of people don’t tend to live in my area. I just ask that you be in the US or at least in a country where English is the predominately spoken language. I only ask this because I know long distance is difficult so I would like to meet up within the first month or 2 so we both know that we’re serious about this.

First, I must start off with this: I’m fat. Yes I could lose weight, and I have before, but sometimes I gain. My weight fluctuates a lot because of a medical condition that affects my hormones. I’m finally in a point of my life where I don’t feel insecure about my weight. So if you don’t like fat girls or you expect me to lose weight, maybe just skip this post. Here are other things about my appearance: I’m 5”6’, I wear platform shoes, my glasses always make a statement, I overdress everywhere, I love accessories, and my eyes are grey. Oh and I always carry a stuffie around

Now here are some things about my daily life. I’m currently going to school to be an accountant. Because of this I do live with my parents however, I do have experience living alone. I currently also work at a build a bear (I love my job. Please ask me about it!).

Now you may be wondering what’s nerdy about me. I’m really into video games, board games and anime. I like to play rhythm games and friend slop games. I play mostly PC but I also have a switch. I also like going to the arcade to play rhythm games. I really love Taiko no Tatsujin. When it comes to board games, my favorite game is Zombicide. Unfortunately I do have to find a new place to play board games though. Lastly, my top three favorite anime are Spy x Family Beastars, and jujutsu Kaisen (my fav character is Geto). I also sometimes write fanfic for certain anime I like. Oh and I also cook!

My biggest hobby is collecting stuffies. I primarily collect Build A Bears. Why stuffies? iykyk. Ask me about it!

Now here are some things I look for in a guy. First, let’s talk about appearance. Mutual attraction is very important to me. I wouldn’t want a guy to date me if he didn’t find me attractive, so I wouldn’t do the same. I tend to like guys that are taller than me and are thin to a little chubby. Tbh just look proportional. I honestly just really like size differences so that’s why I prefer a guy to be taller and thinner than me. Regarding personality I like guys that are serious and maybe a little bit sassy. It’s a good contrast to my whimsy. I also like romantics. I just don’t think I’ve ever been loved right, so I kinda want a man that knows how to love a girl to the fullest extent.

If you have read this far, please say eagle or 🦅 (in the spirit of 4th of July lol) in your first message. Please also share the following information in your first message: at least 2 pictures of yourself, ASL, hobbies, school/work (don’t need to give me details if you’re not comfortable), and, as a fun question, what’s your love language. Feel free to share other information as well. I’m an open book and I don’t judge.

I’m looking forward to getting to meet you (:

26 [M4M] #Texas - Hoping to meet someone for long term

Hello. I'm a guy looking for a guy to chat with and form a long-term and serious connection with. I know what I seek and want so I expect you to also do the same.

I'm originally from Mexico but living in the US. I am 26, so I'm figuring things out in adulthood, since life is a bit lonely on this life stage. However, I do have big dreams and goals. 

I'm currently working part-time in a job I truly enjoy and just finished two internships.

What I can say about myself is that I love reading, writing, listening to music, and walking. I also like taking care of myself physically and mentally (I hit the gym, skincare, eat well, and meditate). So, if all goes good, I AM LOOKING FOR long term and serious with a masculine guy (I'm a normal guy with softer facial and personality traits, not truly feminine or trans at all, if that matters) WHO HAS academic and professional ambitions and goals in life and a similar healthy lifestyle and mindset. I dont mind long distance as long as there is a meeting plan.

BE around my age. Not into older or younger. Just good vibes, so dont ask for my snap, we are adults and maturity is what I seek in someone.

Dont dm if you won't bother to continue a conversation, dont really know what you want, or ultimately ONLY WANT FUN. Not only hi's, try your best as I always do :)

Include a Taco emoji in your message and send me an intro about you if you truly read my posy. Hope to see you 😄
