34 | Toronto, Canada | looking for a boyfriend

So I'm a 34 yo white guy from Toronto, Canada (born in Europe), and I'm looking for a patient guy who'd be my boyfriend. I'd appreciate someone who's a bit reserved like me and enjoys the little things in life. I hope to take things slow, so we can get to know each other better. If you feel like it, I look forward to connecting with you. Only from Canada and Europe please.

35 | Southampton, United Kingdom | Looking for a genuine connection, and something long term. Open to any location too.

Hey there :)
I’m 35, and from the south of England.
I’m 5’10”, average build - I’m not winning any body building competitions… think “dad bod.” I’m a work in progress :)

I work in the marine industry, and have an established and stable career. I’m very much into boats and boating etc. but also fixing cars. I used to do this with my dad - and now do it in his honour to keep the family tradition going :).
I’m a cat dad too! Had them for 9 years and they very much own the place.

I’m a bit of a nerd - I love sci-fi, fantasy and fiction. Whether that’s a tv show, movies, books or games, I’m into it all (within reason, of course).

I enjoy growing things - mostly fruits and veg, and then cooking too. I like to experiment with new things. Asian or Indian food is my favourite, but you can never go wrong with a good pizza!

I love swimming, boating and sailing - could spend all day in/on the water :). But… deep water freaks me out quite a bit!

Family is super important to me, and I’m very close with mine. I make effort to see family whenever I possibly can, and have a great bond with them.

Currently obsessed with Severance, so tell me your latest obsession too :).
I’ve watched The Office more times than I care to admit! Also a huge Brooklyn 99 fan, and Parks & Rec! I definitely relate to Ron Swanson…

I’m a pretty simple guy, and very low maintenance! Im looking for “my person,” and a genuine relationship. No rush, and no pressure - but that’s the goal and what I’m looking for :)

Who I’m looking for:
In all honesty, I don’t have a “type”. I prefer a personality and a vibe.
I don’t mind what your location is, what your race, religion, background, or culture is - if we vibe well then that’s what counts.

Give me a short introduction and let’s go from there

26 | York, United States of America | I’m just looking for someone to build an ordinary life with

I’m tired of the cycle.

Match. Text for a day or two. Things seem promising. Then one of us loses momentum, another conversation takes over, and it quietly fades away. I don’t even blame anyone anymore..it just feels like we’ve become too accessible, and because of that, nobody really sticks around long enough to build something real.

A little about me: I’m originally from South Asia and I’ve been in the US for about 3 years, currently working as a data scientist. I have an accent, and there will be things about each other’s cultures that we won’t immediately understand. If you’re willing to learn instead of expecting familiarity, I think that’s a pretty good start.

What I’m looking for is actually quite simple.

Someone who’s okay being bored with me.
Someone who’s happy sitting in silence sometimes. Someone who’ll see me bloated, fit, stressed, happy, and know I’m still the same person.
Someone who’s ambitious..not just in their career, but about building something together. Maybe it’s a business, maybe it’s a hobby, maybe it’s just a ridiculously long Snapchat streak. I don’t care what it is. I just want us to have something that connects us beyond physical attraction, because we both know attraction alone isn’t enough. My current preference is for someone within the US just coz it’ll be easier to connect considering the time zones. I encourage people from all shape, size, color and age to dm me if they feel confident in their ability to match the above criteria..I promise I won’t bite.

If you’re looking for constant excitement, I’m probably not your person.

If you’re looking for someone to build an ordinary, imperfect, meaningful life with, maybe we should talk.

27 | Milan, Italy | Looking for something serious. Preferably within Europe, but open.

Let’s give this a try again. Looking for someone who’s between 28 and 35 years old. :)

About me: I’m originally from southern Italy, moved to Milan in 2022 to chase the dream of making it in the showbiz. So far I only managed to achieve some small goals but I’m stilly trying hard. I’m a radio host, event presenter and content creator. Dream is to have my own show in a national radio and I’d love to have a TV show, but who knows.

I have two degrees in economics and after being an academic weapon I just went crazy and told myself that I really had to try following my dreams.

I lived abroad (Norway, Denmark, US) and quite around Italy.

I’m a social butterfly, I talk with everyone and I legit love meeting new people. I’m a clean freak, with a geek side: I’m really into Pokemon and video games.

Other hobbies are writing and reading.

I try to hit the gym but I’m not obsessed with it (I actually kinda hate it lol) so my body is kinda average (I’m 1.87/ 6’1).

For compatibility: I’m a bottom.

Preferences (as superficial as they may sound) from a physical point of view include: height (1.80+) and blue eyes. These are just preferences, so take them as they come.

If interested, shoot me a message with a photo and introduction of yourself :)

27 | Kuwait City, Kuwait | Looking for a serious relationship

Hey! I’m Oniel, a 27-year-old filipino guy, born and raised in Kuwait, looking to meet someone who’s interested in building a genuine connection whether that’s long-distance or local (Though I had rough experiences with locals). I’m definitely relationship-oriented and not interested in hookups.

A little about me:

🎨 I love art and anything creative.
⚡ Pokémon has been a huge part of my life (bonus points if you’ll let me ramble about my favorites).
🎬 I’d love someone to binge movies or shows with over Discord, even if we’re miles apart.
💬 I appreciate good conversations, random memes, and laughing over absolutely nothing.

I’m looking for someone who’s kind, funny, patient, emotionally mature, and enjoys the little moments. Someone who’s just as happy having a deep conversation as they are sitting in a Discord call doing their own thing in comfortable silence.

I think one of the best kinds of relationships is where you can do everything together… and also nothing at all.

If that sounds like your vibe, I’d love to hear from you.

25 | Kissimmee, United States of America | Looking for a serious relationship

25 year old Puerto Rican in Orlando/Kissimmee Florida area. Looking for a someone serious that I can be with long term. I work full time, have weekends off, love karaoke, water parks, gardening, singing, and cooking (when I have time haha). Addicted to bathroom mirror selfies apparently, lol.

I am mostly a bottom, but I don't mind dating other bottoms or sides (don't know what a side is? Someone who doesn't require penetration whatsoever).

I PREFER Latino men and Asian men who are fit, slim, average, or just a little chubby. Not too chubby, I consider myself chubby and I like to joke that I wanna be the "bigger" guy 😂.

My preference does not mean no one else can message me, feel free to still message me and see where things go! A vibe is a vibe.

Age Range 21-33 please!

48 | Burlington, United States of America | Seeking last connection, no matter the distance

As you see, I am a heavier-than-average

fellow (5'9", 225).

I should like to cultivate a genuine connection

and relationship with a kind, open-minded

gentleman. I hope to eventually meet face to

developing feelings and loyality.

music. I am a Classically-trained musician

and a freelance writer. I also enjoy many

sports, including rugby, soccer/football

baseball, and hockey.

Dms are welcome, should anyone care to

reach out.

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

Hi!

I'm a nature nerd that is looking for a cool guy to date. I'm attracted to masculinity and guys that could see themselves having a family some day.

My day job is as a scientist and I live in the desert mountains with my dog. We go hiking in the hills, looking for interesting plants and animals. I go camping or exploring when I can, especially to museums or organisms I haven't seen before. I also enjoy lifting weights at the gym and cooking. Big in science fiction, horror, comedies, animation film and TV. Mostly read non-fiction books, but also read and write poetry.

My goal is a serious relationship where we both want similar long-term goals. I don't mind long distance, I see it as temporary, but also I live in a fairly remote area so it's what I more or less expect. But I'm not tied to any place as long as I could get a good job.

Like I said, more drawn to masculinity. I don't have a physical type, just someone that takes care of their mind and body, whatever that means. Hopefully enjoys the outdoors and indoors, and works hard.

Looking forward to chatting!

Hey! 20-year-old turkish male from Sweden, Lookin for a guy who wants to form a genuine relationship :)

About me: I'm a recent graduate of animal welfare, I'm currently in the process of getting a job and hope to start working within next after vacation.

22 | Dobrzyń nad Wisłą, Poland | I am looking for a boyfriend

Hi, my name is Dawid, I'm 22 years old, I live in Poland. 😊 I am a shy and introverted person. I have trouble opening myself to people. I also have a mild Tourette Syndrome. I don't have any verbal ticks and my motor ticks are mostly unnoticable for most people. I am a bottom.

I never had a boyfriend before, so I don't really know how a relationship is supposed to look or feel like. I also don't have any intimate experience with guys. 😅

I am looking for a masculine and confident guy. I want someone that would pull me out of my shell. 😄 He doesn't have to be from Poland, nothing really keeps me here permanently but I don't really have ability to travel much myself currently.

For anyone having a trouble to find it, I live like 150km north-west from Warsaw. 😅

37 | Bakersfield, United States of America | Looking for a serious relationship

Hi! I’m 37 years old, born and raised in Mexico, and I’ve been living in the United States since I was 15. I currently live in Bakersfield California, and would love to meet someone nearby, but I’m also open to getting to know someone from other parts of the United States if we really connect. I’m not looking for an international long-distance relationship.

I’m looking for something real and long-term. I’d love to find someone I can build a genuine connection with someone to laugh with, support, and share everyday life.

A little about me: I’m a stocky guy who proudly embraces the “big teddy bear” vibe. I’m bilingual (English and Spanish), a huge Disney fan, and I love Harry Potter. You’ll usually find me rewatching animated movies or cartoons because they never get old.

My idea of a great relationship is pretty simple: watching cartoons together, taking spontaneous road trips, holding hands while driving, trying new restaurants, and enjoying the little moments that make life special.

If you’re kind, honest, affectionate, and looking for something meaningful, I’d love to get to know you. Feel free to send me a message!

One last thing: I’d really prefer to know what the person I’m talking to looks like. Since I’m already putting myself out there by sharing my own pictures, I’d appreciate the same courtesy. No judgment at all, I just find it easier to build a connection when we both know who we’re talking to. 😊

22 | Chandigarh, India | Looking for a serious relationship, open to long-distance

Hey there! I'm a student from India. I like reading, writing, listening to Music, watching anime and other series, playing games, surfing the net, etc. Regarding games, I like Crusader Kings 3, The Sims 4, etc. As for book genres I prefer gay romance, fantasy, murder mystery, royalty-themed stuff, etc.

I am looking for a serious LTR and plan to move abroad someday (considering France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, etc. so if you are from one of these places it should hopefully be fine). I am more feminine. I am not looking for something solely or immediately sexual. Also, I'd prefer a partner around my age (20-28).
