Honestly, I’m quite disappointed and frustrated with dating. I’m tired of talking stages that lead nowhere. I do get approached, but our mindsets and values rarely seem to align.

A little about me: I’m a Freelance makeup artist from Indore India, and an only child.
I believe in falling in love before getting married. I can’t imagine spending my entire life with someone I don’t genuinely love. For me, marriage should be about love, not just settling down.

I value personality, emotional compatibility, and physical attraction. I also prefer someone who takes care of their health and fitness, as I believe lifestyle compatibility matters too.
Age preference: 28–34

A few things that might be deal-breakers for some: I’m an atheist, a feminist, and an introvert. I value my freedom and independence and don’t like unnecessary restrictions or controlling behaviour. I’m a non-vegetarian.
I don’t want children, and I drink occasionally.

I know everyone has different values, and that’s okay. I’d rather be upfront about who I am than discover major incompatibilities later.
I’m looking for something genuine that could eventually lead to marriage.

Also, please don’t spam my DMs with pointless hellos and small talk. Only DM me if you genuinely believe you meet the criteria I’ve mentioned and think we could be compatible. Otherwise, please don’t bother, I’ll block you without even checking.

Hey! I’m a 30-year-old DevOps engineer in Bangalore, giving Reddit a shot after matrimonial sites. I keep systems running at work; personally, I’m still debugging life.

I’m playful, sarcastic, slightly chaotic, occasionally moody, and an overthinker. I enjoy the gym, long bike rides, chess, and binge-watching movies and series.

A few facts:

Curd is essential with every meal. 🥣

I’m the unofficial therapist among my friends.

I enjoy conversations about everything from technology to politics and random debates.

I’m always learning something new.

What I’m looking for:

Someone around 25–30 who is funny, easygoing, emotionally mature, honest, loyal, and can roast me when deserved.

I’d love a partner for bike rides, travel, spontaneous plans, movie nights, deep conversations, and eventually a serious relationship leading to marriage.

I value individuality, mutual respect, and choosing each other every day. If you enjoy banter, meaningful conversations, adventures, and don’t mind my love for curd, say hi. 😄

This guy texted me and took follow-ups for like 5 times as I was not replying. I finally replied after a week and see how he's talking 🤷🏻‍♀️

He wants his woman to submit herself to him, the selection of words shows his personality as whole.

Then they say women ghost them from this sub. Because of such creeps, good guys also get ghosted

Mods can you ban this guy?

Basics:

Age: 24

Location: Noida, Delhi NCR

Profession: Consultant at an MNC

Salary: ₹34 LPA

Lifestyle: Non-smoker, non-drinker

About Me:

I'm 24, based in Noida, and looking for a serious relationship that could eventually lead to marriage if we're compatible.

I like my work and I’m ambitious about it, but weekends are for adulting: laundry, groceries, and getting the house in order. After that, I’m all about travelling, movies, and board games (Catan, UNO and Bluff are my go-tos). I’m also pretty good at Clash Royale, so be warned.

Underneath the games and the chores, family matters a lot to me. I’m close with mine, and while I’m not in a rush, I’m looking for someone I could build towards marriage with over the next few years.

What I'm Looking For:

Someone kind, affectionate and emotionally mature, who can disagree without going quiet. I’d like a partner who is working or plans to build a career, since I value supporting each other’s ambitions and independence.

I’m hoping for trust, respect and mutual effort, where we’re each other’s biggest supporters and enjoy the small things together. A similar lifestyle would be great, so someone who doesn’t smoke or drink would be a good match.

P.S. I even went through verification and clicked a selfie just for this post, so I hope that counts for some extra sincerity points. 😅

Hii I'm working as digital marketer

I'm.orignally from dehradun but dad was in navy so we moved to Mumbai after he retired

My pacemaker was implanted 4 months back because while sleeping my heart rate was going below 25 now I'm fit and fine and this pacemaker won't affect anything in future I can assure you

I'm simple guy looking for pure love and marriage after few months or a year or whenever possible

I never thought I’d be typing this out, but here we are. Shaadi has always been Plan A for me.

Honestly, I’ve never felt like I was “missing out” just because I didn’t have a romantic partner. I always believed he’d find me when destiny gave the green signal. But well… destiny seems to be stuck in traffic.

So here I am—travel junkie, adventure seeker, and someone who values family like nothing else—ready to start my own search for him. The one who’s equally happy backpacking across mountains, dancing at a cousin’s shaadi, and sharing quiet chai moments with family.

And yes, the title might make you smile… but believe me, I’m damn serious.

Hi folks, I wanted to know how your experience with being able to express psychological or emotional issues with potential partners has been?

I feel being able to handle such issues is very important.

Have you found people being considerate and non-judgemental about such things?

When do you generally express such details? How early is too early?

First and foremost, everyone seems nice on texting about 'mental health', but being understanding in practical sense is a different thing, and not everyone can do it. Have you been able to judge that correctly?

32F, Bay Area. AI product manager by day. Honest, funny, friendly, introvert some days and extrovert others. Small friend circle but the best ones.
I love cooking and eating out equally. Hiking, badminton, dance, exploring the Bay. Favorite hobby is just talking though 😂 If we can talk for hours, good sign.

I'm pretty happy with my life, so I'm looking for someone who adds to it, not subtracts. And I want to do the same for you.

I prioritize my partner, we're signing up for 50+ years after all. If you can't have open conversations with your family or wouldn't stand up for your partner, we probably won't work. I didn't take great care of my health for a while (heartbreaks + adulting lol) and I'm working on it now, would love someone to join me. My family is super open-minded, intercaste marriages on our side, personality over everything.

The basics:
Age: 32, open to 29–35
Faith: Hindu, love temples and festivals. Atheist? Let's talk.
Caste: Brahmin, only if your family asks. I don't care about it.
Languages: Telugu girl who grew up in Delhi and Mumbai. Hindi, English, Telugu.
Location: Bay Area. Open to India maybe someday as it’s an “us” decision, but not moving elsewhere in the US. Only real non-negotiable lol
Education: Grad school, ideally you too
Height: 5'2
Kids: Definitely, open to adoption as well
Diet: Eat whatever you want - my preferences keep changing, I drink occasionally

Things to know:
Scared of everything but I still did bungee and scuba. Skydiving, absolutely not 😂
I don't drive (bad accidents, still trying). Understand if it's a dealbreaker.
I get really invested and can be an emotional baby sometimes, but I bounce back quick.
No smoking.
Won't work for me: temper issues, being condescending, lying, expecting me to read your mind, or needing to win every argument.

If you're honest, emotionally mature, and think "we before me," say hi! 😊 and would love to get an opening message with details about you - thanks!

Why am I posting again?
- Three weeks ago, I used this sub for the first time but most of the dms that I got were from unserious people who were just curious to know or from people who were not based in Mumbai.
- I got a few weeks ahead of me to actually spend time talking and getting to know people.
- I have got no other way to naturally meet people and I gave up on dating apps. People on reddit are better to talk to compared to people on dating apps so I am giving this sub another chance.

About me -
- 24 years of age, straight, 5’10 lean guy
- somewhere between ambivert and extrovert
- B.tech from top-tier institute and working as research analyst in a nbfc
- got only 4 close friends right now (all male)
- been single for more than 3 years now
- I am into football and tennis
- Maharashtrian Hindu
- Occasionally I drink and eat non-veg. I don’t smoke.
- stayed all my life in Mumbai (beyond Thane to be precise)
- other hobbies include travelling, reading, binge-watching, etc. but haven’t been able to do any of that in a while
- looking for long-term

My preferences -
- age anything between 21 to 26 works but if you strongly feel we have similar interests and on same terms then regardless of age you can dm
- height 4’11 and above
- communication skills (must have)
- staying in Mumbai or nearby and ability to meet atleast once a week if we decide to commit

No other preference as of now.

Note -
- please dm only if you are on same terms and serious to talk to me and know about me
- no need to take any pressure and I am ready to give time for things to move forward
- communicate please (can’t stress more on this)

And I'm open to LDR as well if things falls into a place. As I'm planning to move BLR or pune as soon as I will get a job so yeah if your firm hiring then let me know 2 yoe backend dev here. 🌟

It would be nice to have someone to go on drives with, share music, try new places, play games, and have both silly and meaningful conversations with.

If we get along, we can take it from there. Tell me a little about yourself, or share a song you’ve been listening to lately.

(Written by love with ChatGPT and by me A little little.. 🤍)

27, Financial Advisor & Consultant.

I'm looking for someone to share happy happy vibes and some sadness if it comes across.

I work as a Financial Advisor & Consultant at a financial planning and advisory firm. I currently earn well.

I recently invested in a house too, so I've technically already taken care of the "okay, but where are we going to live?" question.

Outside of work, I enjoy singing, gaming, travelling, and generally having a good time. I'm genuinely easygoing, not hot headed, and enjoy listening to people.

I like taking care of my partner, pampering them, and receiving the same kind of energy in return.

I can also cook.

By "cook," I mean I can successfully follow a YouTube tutorial step by step, so I'd say the potential is definitely there.

I'm looking for someone kind, emotionally mature, and ready to build something new rather than being defined by the past. Don't have any preferences around caste, religion, or whether you've been married before. What matters much more to me is who you are and the kind of life we might be able to build together.

I'm not a religious person, more spiritual, but you can have any preference you want to, as long as you respect mine.

My Father was Muslim, mom Hindu, but my family is not a religious one, all religious events are celebrated. Only have my mother and sister, lost my father in 2016.

I'd like someone who is working, enjoys travelling, and would be excited to explore different parts of the world together every now and then. Being open to having a pet would definitely be a bonus.

I'm told I'm quite entertaining and very easy to talk to, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

I'm also 5'9 and from Kolkata, you can be from anywhere around the world. I travel to Delhi since our head office is there. LDR initially is also fine.

Hello,

I currently work in Germany. About myself:

1. Working full time from around 4.5 years, got direct job offer here after my uni in India.

2. 175 CM (women taller than me is no issue)

3. Gym almost 5 days a week, eat healthy.

4. No partying, very good close friends and I like to be authentic and achieve my goals.

5. Never used Instagram before 2023.

6. I travel other countries twice every year.

7. Originally from North India but I don't care which part of India you come from

8. Always talk in respectful language (I use 'aap' to strangers, no matter the age).

9. Among top 1 to 5 percent earner in Germany.

strangers have appreciated my hair, eyes,skin, smile and voice without asking. People have told I am kind and given me hugs with just very short conversation.

Posting here because work keeps me busy and my limited social activity doesn't give me opportunity to meet new people frequently.

I would like meet someone who can describe themselves in similar way like above. Student is fine for me.

I can read message only once in a day. Please dont DM for anything other than the purpose of this post.

Women making first move is very good (just like men if done respectfully). I always appreciated courage of people who are willing to approach others with good intentions.

I read a question asked for women. Is having a house deal breaker for marriage? I think it makes a lot of sense. Even I have never thought about it. No one talks about money here. Everyone is flaunting their 95Lpa , 1cr+ packages. That's it.

What do you guys think about money? What kind of family would you like to marry in. What's an acceptable net worth for women and men both. How do you prefer to manage the household. What's your wedding expectation? Never seen someone saying, I want to do court marriage. Most people prefer big fat Indian weddings. Do you have that much money and how much is expected. Are you a kind of 50/50 guy or a provider. Lifestyle matters a lot. So what kind of lifestyle both are expecting.

Maybe I am overthinking but it's a valid question. And stop flaunting your packages. There are many things to financial stability. One can have liabilities too.

26M looking for a partner and to see where it goes From Chennai

Hi Helo I'm Mr. D from Tamilnadu. Soon to be 27 looking for a life partner who had good educational qualification.

I'm Clinician working in a clinical field for last few years. I'm basically from Tamilnadu (don't want reveal the district now). I like world class movies, books. I love nature and travel

I'm interested in women who may 1 or 2 years older or younger than me, age doesn't matter.

I hope Any.would approach

Looks also not that much matters, i respect character and positive thinking. Not caste or religion. Even theist or atheist anyone's fine.

Please DM me. This is my 2nd post here

I am 33, 172 cm, and work as a software engineer in Bangalore (hometown).

Tech has been a big part of my work and interests for years. My hobbies went from Cartoon Network as a child to anime, manga and eventually webnovels and fiction. That is where my Harry Potter knowledge and collection of useless random facts come from.
Fun fact: media helped me learn a lot of English, too!

I lost around 20 kg through diet and exercise about a year ago, and health has become important to me. I am focusing on getting stronger at the gym and finding 15-minute healthy meals because I want to eat well without spending all evening cooking.

What I am looking for

I am ambitious and would love a partner with her own passions. The world can be brutal, so I want home to be the opposite: kind, empathetic, and emotionally mature.

I do not think relationships are always 50:50. Sometimes one person gives 90% while the other can manage 10%, and sometimes it is reversed. What matters is showing up for each other so neither person always carries the relationship alone.

I am comfortable breaking gender stereotypes. Household responsibilities and parenting should be shared fairly, based on our circumstances, not assigned by gender. I try to live by the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”

A few things upfront

• I do not smoke or drink and prefer the same in my partner.
• I am non-vegetarian, but am comfortable with a partner who eats differently.
• I hope to move to Europe within the next year and want a partner open to relocating.
• I prefer someone initially based in Bangalore; long-distance makes it harder for me to develop feelings early on.
• Height, skin tone, and faith are not deal-breakers; compatibility matters more.

I am looking for a best friend and life partner to grow with and navigate life as a team. If this resonates, feel free to reach out :)

I am a 29-year-old surgeon 5'8" high , currently based in Hyderabad . I was raised in a Brahmin family, but caste is not a deciding factor for me—I am completely open-minded about community. While my days in the hospital can be demanding, I make it a priority to leave work at the door, stay grounded, and recharge by working out, listening to music, catching up on reading, or road trips.
I am looking to connect with a woman (roughly 25–29) who is career-focused, independent, and values clear, honest communication. Profession doesn't matter—doctors or non-medics are equally welcome—as long as there is mutual respect for each other's passions and an understanding of surgical hours. Above all, I’m looking for a true partner who values emotional maturity and equal companionship. If this sounds like a fit, drop a DM with a quick intro—happy to share photos and talk more over chat.

Hey Reddit! Figured I'd give this a shot.

A little about me:

- 25, born and based in Bangalore.

- Working in International Business Development.

- Ambitious, enjoy travelling, exploring new cultures, and want to build something of my own someday.

- Earn good money to sustain a comfortable lifestyle, though around 80% goes into savings. Apparently, my future self is my biggest financial responsibility. 😂

- Enjoy good conversations, random banter, and people who can laugh at themselves.

- Fun fact: My Hindi is a work in progress. My confidence sometimes exceeds my vocabulary. 😂

Looking for: Someone kind, emotionally mature, ambitious, and interested in something serious. Someone with her own life, interests, and opinions, who wants to build something together without losing her individuality.

Bonus points if you love travelling and can keep a conversation going without the legendary “what else?” 😂

Not looking for perfection, just compatibility, good banter, and something genuine.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, DM me with a little about yourself. Let's see where the conversation goes!

Hi All,

I'm 30 and trying my luck here, hoping to meet someone special. I'm an emotional person at heart and value honesty, kindness, and good conversation. I'm looking for a caring, like-minded girl to get to know, with the hope of building a life together someday.

I'm well settled in my career and come from a close-knit family that has been running a business for over 60 years, so stability and responsibility have always been a big part of how I was raised.

Hey everyone!

Giving this a shot in the hope of meeting someone I genuinely connect with and maybe build a future with.
I’m 25, based in Chennai, and working as a Senior Software Engineer at an AI startup. I’m ambitious about what I do, a little introverted at first, and usually more talkative once I’m comfortable with someone. I know hindi little bit 😅😅

I’m into tech, cars, and exploring random ideas. I enjoy good conversations, terrible jokes, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

I’m looking for someone kind, emotionally mature, and fun to be around. Someone with her own interests and ambitions, who I can laugh with, grow with, and be myself around.

I’m here for something serious, No need to rush things; I’d rather get to know someone properly and see where it goes.
If this sounds like your kind of person, feel free to say hi!
