36 | Nottingham, United Kingdom | Seeking Long-term Relationship

🙋‍♂️

British guy here 🇬🇧

Genuine. Good morals and values.

Appreciate the simpler life, and value experiences and making memories more than possessions 🧘🏼‍♂️

• Gym 🏋️‍♂️
• Travel 🌎
• Adventure 🗺
• Outdoors 🏔
• Visiting new places ✈️🚢🚉
• Socialising with friends 🧍‍♂️🥂🧍🏽‍♀️🍽🧍🏻
• Trying new activities 🤺🧗‍♂️🚁
• Cinema 🎟 🎞
• Wolf Pack 🐕🐕🐈

Huge travel fan with many places that I’d like to visit or return to; Salem, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, New Zealand, Australia, Cambodia, Japan, Machu Picchu, Egypt, Italy, Switzerland...

Trying something new rather then the dating apps which seem to be full of match collectors, those looking to increase their social media following, or people who can’t hold a conversation 🥱😴

Would relocate if the connection is there. I always think that only focusing local could cause us to miss out on our perfect person.

Let’s drive Route 66 🚘

Just a polite note - I wouldn’t have thought that I’d need to point this out in 2026, but I won’t reply to those who won’t share a picture 📸

You can see who you’re choosing to communicate with, so surely I should be able to do the same. That’s fair, right?
(I understand that a chat request will need to be accepted to allow the picture to be sent)

Also, in your initial message, please introduce yourself and share some information about who you are instead of just saying “hey”.

Let’s all be kind to each other ✌️

28 | Pune, India | Looking for a long term relationship.

Old soul, talkative, and probably going to tell you way too much about Indian classical music, philosophy, game lore, or my latest watercolor. 😂

Looking for genuine companionship that could grow into a relationship, not something superficial. I’m out to my family and would prefer someone who’s out and looking for something meaningful too.

Bonus points if you’re into music/creative hobbies, smell good, and don’t mind random conversations at 2 AM.

DMs open. 🌈

32 | San Francisco, United States of America | Looking for a long-term relationship

I’m 32, openly gay, Latino, and looking to make genuine connections with guys in the United States. There’s a chance I’ll be moving for nursing school in the near future, so I’m open to connecting with someone outside of California and seeing where things go.

A little about me: I enjoy traveling, working out, exploring new places, and spending time with friends and family. I’m at a point in my life where I’d really like to meet someone I can eventually settle down and build a life with.

I’d consider myself more of a traditional relationship kind of guy. I’m monogamous and looking for one person to build something meaningful with. I’m not interested in open relationships or couples.

Ideally, I’d like to meet someone who’s like-minded, grounded, kind, and genuinely interested in getting to know each other. I’m not expecting an instant relationship. I’d rather take the time to develop a connection naturally and see where it leads, with the possibility of something long-term if we click.
Distance isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker for me, especially since nursing school may take me somewhere new.

Please be kind 😅 This is genuinely my first time trying Reddit for dating, but I figured I’d put myself out there and see what happens. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

52 | Austin, United States of America | Looking for a Long Term Relationship

Looking to build a life with someone, extra credit if you like to build literal things. I'm into DIY, landscaping, architecture, and home improvement. Fantasies include a partner that wants to tackle projects together, both the DIY kind and anything else that comes our way.

I'm emotionally available, you should be too. Expect me to communicate a lot, I'll expect the same from you.

I'm a bit introverted, but not exclusively. I'm into kind, safe, comfortable men that have a sense of themselves, but also enjoy being together. Seriously, communication is important to me.

I own a small business, and live in Austin, TX, USA. So if you're not in the area, please be willing to relocate if we fall for each other... or be independently wealthy and willing to convince me to head to where you are, haha. I prefer to talk with Men that are in the USA (only due to logistics).

I enjoy other things too, roller coasters, mountain biking, hiking, and camping (if there are showers available). I enjoy travel and vacations, but I prefer those to be special events rather than a consistent a regular thing.

I usually prefer men that are my age or younger, (Mid 20s - Mid 40s) but it really depends on your mindset.

I want to talk to you if you're serious, dm me. I'll ask for a SFW face photo fairly quickly if I feel a connection in the dms, just send one if you're comfortable :)

Trying my luck out here. I’ve never been in a relationship, but I would love to. I’m a hopeless romantic who loves to travel with my weak passport, into marvel movies and movies that make you cry, a foodie, and an insomniac. Please be kind.

20 | Sinop, Turkey | looking for a long derm relationship

long term*😭😂

Hello everyone! 🙃

Who am I? = I'm a gay guy living in Turkey. Loyal, emotional, and I genuinely love being empathetic. I'm into learning new things and curious about new cultures. What am I looking for?= Emotional longing, a ltr, ldr tbh, I want a guy to love me so much :) My height is 1.73, weight 70-75

My least favorite traits: I think it's better to write this so you get to know me well, bc some people might not like my personality or lifestyle and I respect that. Anyway, I'm a bit jealous, easily confused, and my mood swings a lot, sometimes I'm depressed, sometimes super happy. And I think I'm shy sometimes, which is so annoying :d Currently looking for a job and trying to work on my English, that's pretty much all I don't like.

Who catches my eye: Emotional, loyal, and laid back, calm guys, physically with a beard or mustache, age wise tbh I'm into old guys. +26

If you're interested send me a pmm ♡

25 | West Palm Beach, United States of America | looking for my hubby

Heyooo, just on here seeing if I find my +1☺️ I live in West Palm Beach, FL and love to study, go to the gym, do colorguard, watch anime, 420 friendly, stargaze, love being outdoors! I’m a premed student so school takes up a good chunk of my time but you make time for what you care about right. Hopefully that’s you 😘 for compatibility: ⬇️

I’m a 6ft bear (220lbs) who’s sweet, caring, goofy (love playful banter and dark humor), masculine, puts in effort, ambitious, hardworking, sometimes a little special 🤣🤣 let’s chat bro 😌

36 | Ridgecrest, United States of America | Looking for something serious, open to long distance.

Hey!

I'm looking for a long term relationship. Hopefully with a guy that also likes the outdoors and is on the more masculine side. I don't mind distance but eventually I'd like to be able to travel to each other. My goal is to some day have a family of my own.

But about me, I'm a biologist and love being out looking for plants and animals, exploring locally and abroad. I'm vegetarian, don't drink or smoke, and I like being modest with my spending.

I like lifting weights at the gym, long walks, reading and writing, and watching things like animated shows, horror movies, and science fiction. My dog is a pretty big part of my interests too.

36 | Tacoma, United States of America | Kind, Chill, Fun, Masc, Seeking Same

Hey guys, I'm here looking for my forever partner; a monogamous, committed relationship. Some distance is ok but prefer someone in the Pacific Northwest.

I'm a healthcare professional in practice for 15 years in my field, I am lucky enough to love the work I do.

Most weekends in the spring through fall I'm hiking up into the mountains to dig for crystals, agates, geodes, etc. and I really want to find someone to take on these trips with me 😁

I have several other hobbies including silversmithing and lapidary art. I also love to bake and garden. I'm an avid gamer, for video games fantasy rpgs are my favorite; I also like card games such as Magic The Gathering and Pokemon. I love taking long road trips and listening to a good audiobook, and having deep conversations.

Kindness is paramount to me, it's pretty much my primary personality trait and it's something I look for in others to determine if we'll be compatible.

I'm looking for someone that will be a stable, reliable partner that I can trust, enjoy life, and grow old with.

As far as a "type" I'm only into masculine dudes, unfortunately I'm not attracted to feminine guys. I find a wide spectrum of body types attractive, as long as you're healthy, can be active, and take care of yourself. It's mostly your face that will determine if I'm attracted to you. My age range is typically 20s-early 40s, but feel free to shoot me a message

If you think we might vibe let me know! 😁

pretty nerdy. i’m an introvert who’s into tattoos, piercings, pokémon, all things horror, and spending way too much time digging through vinyl records. always down to talk music, swap recommendations, geek out over horror, or just chat about pokémon (i just got into it, so bear with me lol). just looking to meet a genuine person with good vibes :3

20 | Sweden, Stockholm | Looking for a boyfriend within Europe

Hello! 20-year-old male from Sweden, hoping to find a genuine relationship with someone within EU :).

I am a gamer, always have been ever since I was a kid. I also love to watch anime, though not as much as before, i still enjoy it from time to time. I also love to draw, I am currently in the process of creating my own unofficial batman comic with a friend :D.

other than gaming and watching anime, I've been slowly getting back into archery, I think it's satisfying to shoot the targets, I even miss entering shooting competitions I had before, so It would be exciting to get back into those.

I'm a recent graduate from animal welfare and love animals in general, hoping to either seek further education like university or work already in a zoo with beautiful exotic creatures

I hope to find a man who's similar age as me and lives in EU to have an easier time meeting up :) I don't have any type or standards as long as he becomes attentive and puts effort the same way im willing to :D.

40 | New York City, United States of America | Looking for a long term relationship.

A very decent, fit, honest and loyal guy here looking for someone to build a long term relationship with.

I am a sapiosexual and I enjoy intellectual conversation. It’s really important to me

I am not interested in dating someone outside USA/Canada.
East coast is preferred but I wouldn’t mind traveling to south or west coast if the connection is valid

I don’t smoke or drink. I live a healthy lifestyle and I go to the gym a lot. I am interested in someone who live a healthy lifestyle like me.

Please don’t ask reach out if the only thing you are interested in is the top/bottom conversation . Also I will not fulfill your sexual fantasy.

I am only interested in emotionally and mentally sane guy who is ready for something serious

u/Successful-Pool2959 — 6 days ago

59 | New York City, United States of America | Looking for a genuine connection

Hey guys, 59, masculine, tall, fit Black gay man here who enjoys good conversation, good laughs, and discovering what’s around the next corner.

I’m a sapiosexual which means intelligence, curiosity, and a great mind are huge turn-ons for me. I love architecture, computers, geography, history, hiking, beaches, biking, traveling, movies, theater, and especially gay-themed films and TV. Also, I am a planner by nature, but I also love being spontaneous when the opportunity comes along. Give me a good adventure and I’m in.

I am looking for a genuine relationship with a man who is 38–52, 5'10" (178 cm) or taller, healthy, and has a slim, fit, or muscular build.  Ideally, you are college-educated, career-oriented, financially stable, self-sufficient, and have an interest in technology. These are important compatibility factors for me, so I realize that may narrow the field, but I’d rather be honest about what I’m looking for.

I’m not really interested in long-distance relationships, so being somewhere in the Northeast U.S. would be ideal. That said, I’m open to meeting someone from elsewhere in the world if you’re fluent in English and genuinely open to relocating to the U.S. within the next year or two.

As for intimacy, I’m generally a top and pretty vanilla, although I’m open-minded and willing to explore and try new things with the right person. Communication, trust, chemistry, and mutual respect matter much more to me than checking boxes.

One thing that’s important to me: consistent communication. I’m looking for someone who enjoys daily engagement even if it’s just a few minutes to say hello. Texting via WhatsApp, phone calls, and video chats are all part of getting to know someone for me.

And please, if you know you’re the type who disappears after a couple of days, save us both the trouble. I’d much rather have someone be upfront than ghost.

Ultimately, I’m looking for a partner, a best friend, a travel companion, and someone I can laugh with and build something real with.

 Sounds great to you? Then let’s see those DMs, fellas. 😎

22 | Fayetteville, United States of America | Looking for long term

Hello!

I'm looking for a long-term relationship. Only seeking ages 19-28. Hopefully, someone else who lives in the United States or is able to visit, but long-distance within the country is acceptable.

I'm introverted but not shy or too socially anxious. Generally a very relaxed person. I don't drink or smoke and would prefer if you didn't do that around me too much, either. I love dogs, playing video games together, and spending 1on1 time together. Would love someone to do outdoor activities with, too. Camping and hiking are a lot of fun.

You should know:

I'm FTM. No bottom surgery yet. Verse, for compatibility.

I would like someone who:

Is open-minded and kind. Isn't too sensitive to jokes. At least moderately physically and mentally healthy. (You don't need to be athletic, just somewhat near health standards. Have teeth, etc.).

I don't want:

Polyamory. Someone with no aspirations. Someone seeking a "woman" in the relationship. Someone who doesn't like my slower paced lifestyle. Someone strongly religious. Anyone with issues with intimacy.

21 | Iloilo, Philippines | Looking for a genuine relationship/connection

Hey! 21M from Philippines, I'm slim, around 5'8 height, feminine, and nerdy-looking.

My hobbies include gaming, watching anime, reading manga, cooking, doing animations and digital art for fun as well. But most of the time, I just chill and play online games, I play a lot of game genres such as rpgs, moba, gacha games, turn-based games, even Minecraft and Roblox, etc.

Currently I'm pursuing Medical Biology, and will graduate next year, and going to proceed for medical school after. I've wanted to find someone I can grow and share my journey with, someone that is not scared of commitment, and I hope I can find that someone someday.

I'm not really picky with my type, as long as they're 18-30 years old, masculine, average-fit body, and a top as well since for compatibility I'm a bottom, either way I value connection and genuinity more, so if you're interested, just hmu I don't bite ^^

If you share the same interests with me just dm me, big plus if you're a gamer but if not is still fine, or even you could show me your own interests and hobbies, I'll still be interested, as long as you have real intentions and we could get to know each other more.

u/Any_Courage2151 — 7 days ago

28 | Nashville, United States of America | Looking for a serious relationship

Hello everyone! I’m looking for someone who like a humorous yet thoughtful and dedicated partner.

Im very kind, supportive, and I think I’m a great communicator due to my unique skill set from my medical training (as a Psychiatrist), so you will feel very heard, understood, and always have someone in your corner to support you. I also come from a great/loving family and they’d welcome you with open arms!!

Would love a guy who I can chat with and joke around with. Someone mature, ambitious, a good communicator, and overall just relaxed. I’m very chill and having a partner who is that was too would be amazing.

Im based in the US, but willing to relocate anywhere for the right guy or they could come here! Whatever allows us to enjoy life together. So far I’ve traveled to over ten countries and would love to continue adding more to my list. So I’m open to a long distance LTR and something online.

I enjoy movies, cooking (my mom was a chef so I can cook many things), video games, reading, watching various movies, going on adventures with friends, and playing with my lovely Corgi! Also I’m open to trying new things, so maybe we can discover new things together?

Physically I’m a fit, twink. I love to exercise, and I have the best hygiene you’ll ever see. In terms of sexual compatibility, I am a bottom (so please be a top), but other than that I’m open to anything you wanna teach me.

Feel free to reach out!! I’m open to everyone! No hang ups whatsoever :) Looking forward to hearing from you. I’ve included casual photos and my professional headshot because why not, haha?

P.S. I’ll leave you with my favorite quote from one of my favorite people, “Always remember that you are beautiful and you are loved.”

29 | Salzburg, Austria | Looking for something serious

My first post was removed because the title was incorrect, so here’s my second try. Hopefully, I’ll have better luck this time! 🤞

Anyway, a little about myself:
I’m thoughtful, loyal and a little shy at first, but warm once I feel comfortable. I appreciate honesty, kindness, humour and people who are comfortable being themselves. I enjoy meaningful conversations as much as simply having fun. Looking for a genuine man to laugh with, explore life together and hopefully build something meaningful ❤️
