🪲 UPDATED 22 April; DESKTOP users also affected [META] Pasting anything into the title field breaks posting when using the Reddit app; "Invalid State" error

45 Upvotes

If you are getting an "Invalid State" error message when posting, it is due to a known bug in Reddit, which corrupts the post title when text containing (possibly invisible) invalid characters is pasted into the title field. This is easy to avoid by simply not pasting anything into the title field. All versions of the app and the desktop website are now affected. Note that this message has nothing to do with the use of the word "state" as a type of location or division within certain countries; editing your location tag will not help.

Known workarounds include:

  • āž”ļøāž”ļøāž”ļøāž”ļøāž”ļøAvoid pasting or inserting any text into the post title field by any means other than typing it.ā¬…ļøā¬…ļøā¬…ļøā¬…ļøā¬…ļø Type the title out instead. If you already pasted text into the title field, it may be necessary to restart the app (desktop users, reload the page using Ctrl+F5) and compose the post without pasting any text into the title field. āž”ļøāž”ļøThis includes all shortcuts (Ctrl+V, etc) and other forms of text insertion or auto-complete, including the copy/paste clipboard toolbar on your phone's keyboard.ā¬…ļøā¬…ļø
  • If there is blank space at the start or end of the title, deleting it should allow the post thru. THIS BLANK SPACE WILL BE INVISIBLE; if you can move the text cursor past the start or end of your title, there is blank space present that must be deleted.
  • Alternatively, Using the Old Reddit interface (https://old.reddit.com) should reliably work, as Reddit has long since stopped adding new bugs to updating this version. Pasting works in this version of the website; if your post title is long, you may want to use this option instead. This version of the website may or may not be accessible from a mobile browser; if it fails to load or redirects to the app, try using the "Request Desktop Site" feature of your browser, or uninstall the Reddit app.

Note that pasting text into the post body does not cause any issues, and is safe to do.

Reddit has stated they are "still working on" fixing this bug, but have not provided us any timeline or updates on their progress. It is not clear to us how or why this issue cannot be resolved on their end in nearly 3 months time.

If the above workarounds do not work:

  • As of 7 May, all screen capture recordings thus far sent to the mod team have shown that users are ignoring the instructions above and pasting text into the title field. It should be obvious that these workarounds will not work if they are not followed. āž”ļøāž”ļøIf you cannot avoid pasting text into the title, use old.reddit.com to post instead.ā¬…ļøā¬…ļø
  • If you can reproduce this issue while following the workarounds, please try to screen-record the issue, so that we can investigate the cause. Please record the entire process, starting from the community home screen, thru to submitting the post and showing the "Invalid State" error message. Use a screen capture tool if possible, but using a camera would also work if the video is clear enough. Use a video host like Imgur, Gfycat, Streamable, or Youtube host the video, and message the link to the mods using the support links in the community menu or info page. If possible, please include what device, browser, and keyboard app is being used.

F4M Online 29 [F4M] #united states #online gamer looking for friends and maybe more NSFW Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Greetings, I am here to hopefully find someone who I can spend quality time with online and hopefully form a meaningful friendship with. I really miss having someone in my life who we both look forward to talking and spending time together. Someone who comes across my mind throughout the day and gives me warm comfy feelings whenever I think about them. Something that is more than just surface level small talk. I value solid communication and stimulating conversations about various topics like hobbies, pop culture, documentaries, gaming, art, and whatever else we come up with.

About me: I’m 29 cis female. Born and raised in Florida and a current resident of the state. One of my biggest hobbies is gaming. I’ve been gaming mostly on xbox and some laptop gaming on and off my entire life. A few games I enjoy are Overwatch, Minecraft, Warframe, Stardew Valley, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Halo Master Chief Collection. I own several games plus have Xbox game pass and would love to explore more into the plethora of games they have available. I am not huge into anime, however, I’ve watched and enjoyed a few like Solo Leveling, Dragon Ball Z, Apothecary Diaries, pretty much all of the Studio Ghibli movies. I’m definitely open to watching anime and other movies and shows together. When it comes to movies and shows I really enjoy fantasy, romance, action / adventure, and comedy. I’m not much into horror these days. Another hobby of mine is arts and crafts like coloring, painting, doodling, and digital art.

Appearance: 5’5, chubby (180 pounds give or take a couple pounds), dark brown long wavy hair, pale skin, big green eyes. I am totally open to sharing photos of myself, but it may take some time to become comfortable with doing so, since I’m not usually comfortable with sharing photos of myself shortly after meeting someone online. I much more value someone who I can connect with on an emotional and spiritual level.

If you’re interested then you’re welcome to send me a dm with a nice introduction (:

M4A Germany / Online 29 [M4R] Germany/Online Anyone up for some Overwatch and watching movies?

• Upvotes

Hey, I'm 29M from Germany and I'd like to find some people to play Overwatch with or watch movies together. Would be nice to have someone to hop on Discord with and hang out regularly instead of always playing alone.

I play quite a lot of Overwatch, probably too much honestly. I also like Minecraft modpacks and Civilization, so we could play other stuff too.

I'm really into horror and psychological thrillers. Especially weird or disturbing movies where you finish watching and think what the fuck was that. I watched Wounds recently and really liked it. So someone to watch that kind of stuff with would be great, but I'm up for other movies too. We can take turns picking something.

I'm a bit awkward at first but once I'm comfortable with someone I can talk a lot. Doesn't always have to be about anything important either, I like just hearing what someone's been doing or sending each other random stuff.

I'd like to find people to hang out with regularly, but no pressure to be online every day or reply immediately. You don't need to write a huge introduction either, we can just play something and see how we get along.

Someone in Europe would make things easier with time zones, but anywhere is fine if we can make it work. And just being into the movies or the gaming is fine too.

Here's a picture of me so you know who you're talking to :)

4 Upvotes

Looking to voice chat with a fellow gamer in the USA. Ideally, I'd find someone interested in building a connection through voice chatting often, if not daily. Voice chat is my focus because I'm trash at keeping up with just texting, and when a conversation is only text-based, I tend to move on.

About you:

  • DM age/location
  • 27yo+
  • USA
  • Discord for voice chat

About me:

I work from home in tech and often have free time to chat during the day. My interests include gaming, anime, houseplants, books, volunteering, and exploring.

I need someone like myself who can keep a conversation flowing and mix meaningful discussion with a little fun. If that sounds like you, message me.

Let's connect!

M4F Netherlands / Online 34 [M4F] #netherlands/online. Looking for long term. NSFW

1 Upvotes

Hey there! 34 yo dutch guy here who's looking for long term connections.

a little bit about me: 34 years old, 196cm/6'5 tall, normal/fit body, hobbies include gaming, archery, woodworking, restoring watches. I'm also a huge nerd so stuff like star wars/trek, LOTR, Legos, pokemon.

I marked this post as nsfw because, if I'm being honest, we're all adults and I'm kink friendly too. I don't mind if it goes that way but that shouldn't be our main focus. mainly looking for chats, fun or fwb and maybe meet up if we live close.

I'd prefer someone talkative. I've I'm the one carrying the conversation all the time it gets boring really quick 🫣

I would also prefer people close to my timezone (Europe) because that's usually easier for keeping in touch, but I'm open to USA timezones too. Just shoot me a message and I'm sure we'll figure it out!

M4F United Kingdom / Online 34[M4F] #UK/Online - Looking for my favourite notification

1 Upvotes

Hey! Hope you’re having a great day

I’m here hoping to meet someone, get to know each other and see where things go. Just looking for a genuine connection with someone I really click with.

A little about me: gaming is probably my biggest hobby, so finding someone I can duo with, mess around with, laugh at our own stupidity, and spend far too many hours gaming with would be pretty great

I play a pretty wide variety of games, so there’s a good chance we’ll have something in common. Some of the games I regularly play are Overwatch, League of Legends ARAMs and TFT Dead by Daylight, Minecraft, and various friendslop games like REPO, i do like the survival crafting type games too so finding a duo for them would be great.

When I’m not gaming, I enjoy baking, although I definitely don’t do it as much as I used to. I also love taking my doggies for walks, listening to music, and watching films and TV shows.

I’m a big Marvel and Star Wars fan, The Office (UK & US), The IT Crowd, and Peep Show are some of my favourites.

More than anything, I’d love to find someone I can build a genuinely nice bond with, someone I can laugh with, talk about absolutely nothing with, enjoy the little things with, and hopefully make some great memories together.

I’m based in the UK and would ideally love to meet someone from the UK or Europe, but I’m definitely open to other places too.

If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to say hi!

M4F New York / Online 23 [M4F] #Uptsate NY #Online, Looking for a fellow nerd to enjoy my life with! NSFW

1 Upvotes

Good morning, evening afternoon or whatever time you end up reading this! And thanks so much for checking my post out! It might be a bit long so I am sorry about that.

I'm looking for someone preferably in person, that I can spend my time with, growing closer, playing games with, visiting and whatever else comes our way. I've always wanted to have that one special person I can invite out to random activities and trust they'll be there. With fall coming around, I dream of pumpkin patches, haunted houses, bookstores in Saratoga or holding hands while stepping on crunchy leaves. Something about it just sounds so lovely. So that's where you (hopefully) come in! If you find yourself wanting to spend this Halloween season (and every other season forever) with someone you deeply adore and adores you back, then I'd love to hear from you!

For a little about me, I'm weird and nerdy when it comes to interests and I'm happy to collect or learn about yours! But I mostly kill time by reading, writing, playing tabletop games with friends as well as the current friendslop of the week, crocheting and I've been trying to pick up some baking as of late! I'm black with glasses and curly hair, and I've been trying new styles (please feel free to go on mall dates where we pick out new outfits for each other! I'd love help with my accessories.) I love to talk even if it takes me a bit to get started and I'd love someone who can match my energy of never quieting down.

And for you, I would hope you're weird like me! Willing to talk about your interests non-stop. Be down to go out for dates or just stay inside playing games with each other. If we naturally build up to it, I'd hope you were also affectionate and are alright with at least holding hands when walking down the street. Lastly, I ask you to be 21+, serious about finding the right one, to not be right wing or "apolitical" and I'd hope you're somewhere in upstate New York, but if you're outside of that distance isn't impossible to work with as long as we click well!

For a few other notes, I'd like to find someone to travel with! I love planning long vacations or road trips and having someone I can trust with the playlist would take a massive load off of my back. I'm a huge horror fan so that's what's got me distracted most of all. There's so much more to say about myself and what I'm looking for but I'll save that for a normal conversation. If you feel you're what I'm looking for and vice versa I'd love to chat and see how things go! If you end up reading all this, tell me who your favorite pokemon is, why they are and some romantic date ideas you've wanted to be invited out on!

M4F India / United Kingdom 35 [M4F] #UK/Online - I love the rush you get when you vibe with someone and you're waiting for the next notification. I'd love long term friends from around the world! From India to Italy, Philippines to Peru, Czechia to Canada, Australia to Austria, you get the idea, all over the world is fun! :) NSFW

1 Upvotes

Edit - Okay so the reddit flair thing has gone a bit rogue, can confirm I'm from the UK, no one with my incredible talent of getting sunburnt when there is any sort of sunlight, would survive in India, I'd essentially melt if I lived there. The food would be pretty nice, but alas nope I'm in England

TL:DR - I like yapping with people and I think I'm pretty lovely, though I am a bit biased. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so message me and maybe we get on well? :D

Pretty much title! I have a cold and just feel a bit rough, its super early here and I woke up to go to the toilet, made the terrible mistake of checking my phone and now I'm just laying awake regretting my life choices that have led to me being unable to sleep despite being unwell at 6.30am. Sooooooo, I thought I'd post so I can at least pass the time until I pass out/give up the sleep ghost and go about my day. Location doesn't matter, part of the charm of internet friends is meeting folks that I'd not meet day to day but I'd like long term friends, a long time vibe is the goal as opposed to just one off or short convos

As for myself, I work from home doing a travel insurance job, its mostly mid, but its full WFH and that saves it. My big interest is travel, my wallet hates me so much for it. I've been to Philippines/Singapore/Malaysia over two Asia trips, a lot of Europe as well as Jamaica and Canada. Last year I did Istanbul, Portugal and a Norway cruise, plus a Asia trip. Visited Serbia, Madrid and Poland this year then Budapest on friday next week! I have a cruise with family next year to Greece/Turkey/Malta and a friends wedding in Greece and I'm hoping maybe Asia or Africa next year, fundds permitting, I'm always down for trip buddies so if we vibe I'm in! Beyond that, I'm a pretty keen reader, plus the usual smattering of videogames/sports watching/tv shows/gym (but mostly to offset meals out and a problematic keenness for chocolate). I live at the edge of a town and some of the walks are lovely here too. I've dabbled with painting, taken up and dropped the piano a few times (I used to play when I was younger and was decent and sometimes get the urge to play again).

I always prefer a bit of closure, if we've spoke for a while and your situation changes and you won't be chatting anymore, I hate the ghostly exit, if its early on then fair can't vibe with everyone, but if we've spoke for a while I always feel disappearing is a bit of poor form, but its the internet so it happens.

Intentions wise I'm totally fine with whatever, I like meeting folks, I don't mind if platonic friendships, or if you're open and seeking more of a flirting/benefits etc situation. I'm always open for trip buddies/meeting up if location allows, but naturally purely online friend is the norm. Honestly, I just like meeting people I don't really have a set goal beyond that. Feel free to add your intentions and boundaries and it's all good on my end, thought I'd add this disclaimer in early!

In terms of where to talk, I do prefer to move to apps, I use most of the usual ones but staying here is fine too if necessary. Include your basic details in your message, the usual about me stuff is fine, don't feel the need to match the rambling essay above! :)

1 Upvotes

Leading with a description since I know attraction is important:
I’m 5’3, Caribbean. I’m not fit but I value my health and take care of myself inside and out. I like to cook and mainly eat at home. I’m available and stable emotionally. I don’t use any drugs and very rarely drink alcohol.

https://imgur.com/a/mW5b4Es

Currently living in AZ. I’m kind and reserved. I love free flowing conversations. I’m shy, I’m very much a realist, laid back and stay out of drama. I do admit that I am a crier in the context of emotional movies and stories šŸ˜… I’m definitely a tender but confident and whole/fulfilled woman. I’m not political or religious.

I enjoy doing things from movies to fishing. I like to spend time with loved ones, farmers market, write and listen to music. Im not into gaming so much anymore. Don’t mind at all if you are. Basically, I like Star Wars, Tim Burton as well as Stephen King. I understand that having some things in common is great but it’s also nice to have a few different interests.

I’d like something consistent and long term. I have accomplished a majority of my big goals but believe in always making progress in life. So growth with someone is always great. I have a steady career and would like someone who has the same. I’d prefer someone between 28-40

A relationship where we can laugh with and at each other would be amazing! I like to have good communication. I’d like someone that enjoys banter and is honest. Who is also kind, patient and supportive.

Please be ready to share a clear face photo when the chat is accepted to gauge physical compatibility and share some information about yourself. Time is precious. I’m not desperate by any means but I’d like to find my person. I would also like to have a phone call pretty early on.
I wfh and have a ton of free time.

If you read all of this include a 🫶 in your chat
I don’t participate in most social media. I’m ok with distance. But the goal is to meet. Again US/Canada only

If post is still here I haven’t met anyone yet

M4F Louisiana 35 [M4F] Louisiana / US - Alt/nerd wishing for a connection.

2 Upvotes

I'm a quiet, private guy and I keep to myself until I get to know someone. I value upfront honesty and people who are comfortable being themselves. Most of my time goes into gaming, learning new crafts, reading, binging a series, or -doomscrolling-.

I'll take sporadic trips to nearby places I haven't eaten at yet when I don't feel like cooking and walk a few laps at a local park when I'm able.

I'm wired a bit differently and navigate the world with a neurodivergent mindset, which means my attention and energy can fluctuate, but I'm always focused on my own growth and discipline. Just as well as my title implied I am a bit of an alt nerd with my style; a few piercings and tattoos and black nails. (Often mistaken for not presenting as straight and I find that funny.)

I'm looking for a serious, *strictly monogamous* relationship where we can just be completely transparent with each other. A woman that is familiar with or at least willing to learn about *AuDHD*, I'm heavily introverted, so an adoptive extrovert would be much appreciated.

I'm looking for someone who balances me out, and I often find myself most drawn to women from diverse cultural backgrounds. I really appreciate a partner who has a more assertive, protective, or nurturing presence that makes it easy for me to drop my walls and relax. I feel it should be effortless for someone to let themselves be vulnerable with someone else, I try to be as approachable myself. Witty banter, being more expressive and direct, attempts to relate or to be inclusive are easy brownie points for the taking!

I feel like I gave enough to talk about though, so I look forward to hearing from you! ā˜ŗļø

Hey there reddit!

Some days can be hard and stressful, and it's always to nice to have someone to chat with to unwind! Hopefully, we can do that together! I'm interested in chatting with someone about whatever comes to mind! Was it a hard day? Bored? Discuss interests? Intimate late night conversations? Questions about whatever! I'm open to talking a learning about each other.

Would love for it to be longer term if you think we click, but also love the passer by chat too!

A little about me:

Feel free to check my other posts as well!

I try to be quick to respond to messages and prefer more natural conversations as opposed to large paragraph formats. Matching my partners energy to establish a good rapport is important to me!

Hobbies/ interests include:

Cooking; Love to cook and try new recipes. Still trying to nail a good custom curry blend currently haha.

Games: Board, card, and video. Though available time has severely limited my ability to play games, they are still an interest I pursue with friends.

Gardening: Grew up in a rural area so this one just stuck from chores honestly haha.

Random tidbits:

Animal lover, cooler weather, coffee, nights in over nights out,Ā  lame jokes, and bit of a flirt!

For those who like to know a little about the physical appearance of who you are taking too, I am a 6ft1 white male. Dark brown hair/eyes with a beard. Stocky frame. Large arms/hands and legs/feet. Think teddy bear build :)

So if you're interested in a chat partner, let me know. I'm Central time zone if that helps. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you!

M4F Texas 35 [M4F] #Houston, Texas. A small essay about my personality and interests, and what I'm looking for. Hope to hear from you.

2 Upvotes
  • I'd like to find someone who captivates me. Someone who I can talk with effortlessly. I want to meet a person who I can include in my daily tasks, and talk with throughout the day. I just want to find someone I can be open with. Platonic conversation or romance. Whatever you are looking for, don't hesitate to message me. I hope to hear from you.
  • I'm fairly open to trying new things, but some of the things I enjoy are as follows. I love the outdoors. I've never been camping, but I would like to try it with someone someday. I also love to fish. I mostly fish salt water. I do occasionally fish freshwater though.
  • PC games are also an enjoyable pastime for me on occasions. I have a variety of games, most of which are on Steam. I have other games on various other stores/services. I enjoy a wide variety of different kind of games, so I'm sure we can find something to play together if you game.
  • One hobby I discovered later on in life is Magic the Gathering. I play both online on MtG Arena, and with physical cards. Magic has become something I am particularly fond of.
  • Music has always been a part of my life. My tastes are varied, ranging from country, death and black metal, electronic, classic rock, folk, pop punk, and more.
  • I enjoy doing things outside, as well as spending time indoors. I can veg out all day under the covers curled up in my bed, or I can take a trip somewhere and experience something new. I think my personality is a mix of the best of both worlds.
  • As far as my personality is concerned, I would say I am fairly relaxed and laid back. I feel like I am mostly shy and quiet, with an introverted personality. Around people I don't know, I tend to be fairly quiet and to myself. In the company of someone who I am close with, I am more open and freer.
  • All I hope for is a connection. It could be platonic, or it could blossom into romance, and commitment. I'm not putting a limit on what I am looking for.
  • With the prior being said, I am single. I may be interested in changing that with the right person. The idea of commitment excites me. Monogamy is appealing to me.

M4F Oklahoma 32 [M4F] #Oklahoma- Plain and simple: affection, intimacy, and companionship between friends. NSFW

1 Upvotes

Would prefer local, I know that's a much narrower net, as long as some in person aspect is possible. This is looking for casual anyway.

So to lay it all out there short and sweet. I'm starved for touch, intimacy, affection. All the good shit. If you're the type of person that would be down for a date if we vibe? Complete with hugs, cuddling, and maybe some making out? Becoming eachothers close friends and retreats when we need an escape. And end up with some extra benefits.. Shoot me a message.

I'm a large guy but also a strong guy. I am the type that can pick you up and spin you around mid bear hug without a second thought. I want something with some spark, not just a dry chat. And someone willing to create a friendship that's equally as beneficial as wholesome. I want a reason to make plans and go out on occasion, and someone to torture with my mediocre car karaoke lol. Casual, meaningful, though not necessarily exclusive.

About me in more detail, I'm often up late, I go to the gym on a regular schedule. I am more strength lifting than body builder if that makes any sense, tho I am trying to shape up. Power lifter build, 6'1, short curly/wavey hair, and beard well kept. I game a decent bit too. I am about as polar opposite as you can get from what seems 'standard​' for Oklahoma. Apolitical leaning left, non-religious, never married and no kids.

If that already doesn't exclude me from the pool and you're willing to have some fun banter filled conversations, hear me out if I'm excited by a new lift weight like it's a high score, maybe even hit up the gym or game a bit with me? I'd love to chat. Also truth be told, it would be amazing even if it's casual thing. Actual friends with some extra benefits, and for what it's worth I'm a world class hugger.

So, if you're a witty nerdy gal, not super ingrained in any of the big polarizing topics, also not averse to bearded burly nerdy casual gym guys let's chat! Make some plans. If you are looking for a convo starter, what's your favorite drink lately. Local coffee shop order, quickstop go to in a pinch, whatever!

Even if this is not your thing thanks for reading, and I wish the best for you.

Hi there!

First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my post.
As the title suggests, I am open to both short and long term relationships, but ideally a longer term one.

I’m Suli, a 28-year-old, 6’0ā€ creative guy living downtown who enjoys drawing, photography, and working out on a regular basis.

Recently, I decided to try my luck here after not having much success with dating apps. I was hesitant about taking this step at first, but eventually figured, what do I have to lose?

I’d describe myself as a kind, easygoing, and loyal man. As for my background, I’m Egyptian/Circassian, which has definitely played a role in shaping the man I am today.

My preferences are pretty simple. I’d love to meet someone who is emotionally available, enjoys communicating, and is open to building a genuine connection. I believe good communication, mutual effort, and consistency go a long way.

As for ethnicity, I appreciate people from all backgrounds, though I tend to be drawn to White, Middle Eastern, and Latina women. Of course, personality and chemistry also play an important role in attraction, and I believe the best connections develop naturally.

I’ve attached a picture of myself through an Imgur link (https://imgur.com/a/NFHQoCF) so we can skip the whole picture exchange part.
If you don’t feel there’s any physical attraction, that’s completely fine. No hard feelings, and no need to waste each other’s time.

Consider me a bit old-school, but I genuinely prefer getting to know someone over coffee or something similar. I find real-life conversations much more enjoyable than being stuck behind a keyboard or a screen.

If all of this sounds good to you and you feel we might click, please feel free to message me :)

Have a great day!

M4F Florida 33 [M4F] FL/USA/Anywhere - Be My Muse & I'll Be Your Vice - Friends? Romance? Let's Find Out

2 Upvotes

Finally got to see Zach Bryan last weekend and am still in the hangover. Seeing all the cutesy couples there together made me long for that a bit, so I figured I’d post this again.

Howdy! Cheesy title aside, I’m here for what I suspect most people are - to find new connections, with one of them hopefully leading to something serious and long term. I’m by no means opposed to making real, lasting friendships on top of that if that’s how things play out!

So, a bit about me! I’m Kevin, a 33 year old dude from NW Florida. I lost the road somewhere between elder emo and sad cowboy and gave up on trying to find it. I’m a nerd in general, but especially about the things I find interest in. I’m one of those people who gets way too into their niche hobbies. Meeting new people in the real world is difficult these days, even with having a decently social group of friends. I’ve also always been an internet dweller, for better or worse, and had pretty good luck maintaining friendships that way, so I figured I’d give it a go here again.Ā 

Writing and creativity have been a passion of mine for most of my conscious life. I’ve been an avid writer and roleplayer for way, way too long and it’s something I still enjoy to this day quite a lot. I just love getting into characters’ heads, building worlds and seeing where stories go over time. I also read, though to a lesser extent. I have the taste in books of a 100 year old man and love me some old detective novels or classic southern gothic literature. I also adore a good cosmic horror book, but I’m picky.Ā 

Music is another huge part of my life. Often times, when I’m traveling, it’s to go to a show of some sort. I came up on emo and pop punk and hardcore and whatever other labels you wanna put on it. I also have a deep love of folk, Americana and spooky music as well as the real classic country stuff. Especially outlaw country. But of course I’ll always be an emo kid at heart. I’ll talk to you about just about any kind of music all night long if you give me the chance. Some all-time favorites are Dance Gavin Dance, Pierce the Veil, Mayday Parade, Taking Back Sunday, Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Lost Dog Street Band, Bilmuri and much, much more.

I play some games - mostly RPGs, roguelites and other such things. I’m currently finally playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 but some of my other favorite games/series are Fallout, Kingdom Hearts, Monster Hunter and Red Dead. I’m not big on competitive games as I’m very, very bad at them. Oh, and I still adore Pokemon because I was the perfect age when the originals came out. I also got more into tabletop RPGs and that form of roleplaying a few years ago and am currently running my first game! Also a tech nerd in general. I love tinkering with computers and whatever else I can get my hands on.

I’ve got a lot of other random hobbies including listening to old radio dramas, vintage music gear, I collect vinyl and I spend way too much time going down random internet rabbit holes. I love history, mystery and especially history’s mysteries. Also love true crime of course and things of that nature. Tell me about your favorite high strangeness mystery or a weird experience you had!Ā 

I also love the outdoors, especially anything to do with the water. I grew up on lakes and creeks and the beach. I also adore camping when the weather’s nice and am always down for a bonfire or just sitting on the porch and watching the rain.

Physically, I’m of pretty average height - 5'8ā€ or so. I weigh about 190 but have been going to the gym for a few months and really loving it. I have dark brown hair, a beard I keep fairly tame and hazel eyes. I don’t have any tattoos yet but I am planning on finally getting one for my birthday this year. Happy to send photos!

What am I looking for? Well, to put it simply - companionship. We don’t need to jump into an immediate whirlwind romance (not that I’d complain) and it’s honestly so much easier to build a connection first. Let’s play a game, hop in a voice chat, text about random stuff until the sun’s coming up and we regret everything except not really ā€˜cause we had fun. I honestly just want real human connection and someone to talk to and see what happens. Worst case, it fizzles out. Less worse case, we become good friends. But who knows? Maybe it turns into something real and deep.

Age-wise, I’d prefer to stick in the range of like 25-35 but there may be a little wiggle room if you really think we’d hit it off. As mentioned, I’m in NW Florida but I’m open to someone from anywhere in the US, Canada or even the UK/Ireland (I can’t lie, I’m a sucker for the accents). That’s also not a hard and fast rule, just my preference. It’d be great if we had some hobbies or the like in common we can chat about, but honestly just be genuine and be you. We’ll see where it goes from there! I have my preferences, of course, and physical attraction is important, but I don’t want to make a list of demands as that always feels kinda gross and I don’t want to make anyone feel like they shouldn’t reach out if any of this spoke to them.

I’ll cut this off here since I’ve been rambling awhile. If you read this and are interested, definitely shoot me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself. Maybe include your favorite emo bop or old country song, or even just what games you’ve been playing or the like. If you’d like to exchange selfies, I’m happy to, but it’s also not a rush.

Hope to hear from you! Cheers!

Some bonus perks of dating me:

  • I’ll dance with you in the living room to all the sad songs and only occasionally step on your feet
  • You’ll pretty much always win at or carry me in video games, except Guitar Hero (probably, though I’d be more attracted to you if you can)
  • I’ll remember random things you mentioned liking and won’t forget your coffee order
  • I would love to listen to you tell me about the books you’re reading
  • You’ll have your own personalized DJ

Hello!

A bit about me: I am white, 6 feet tall with dirty blonde hair, and green eyed with an average build. Finally graduated college (yayyyy!) I love sports (especially soccer). In my free time, I play video games, and enjoy spending time with my family and going on trips occasionally. I am really into watching horror stuff: shows, movies, YouTube. I am shy, but I can get more comfortable with you once I get to know you better.

What I'm looking for:

Hopefully a future partner (if we click), if not, a good friend at least. Someone that is honest, and takes good care of themselves. Someone that can text often and is over the age of 19. Someone from the US or Europe.

F4A California 36 [F4A] #California or Anywhere - smutty artsy goth looking for creative friends and FFXIV girlies and lads! Monster romance enthusiasts to the front NSFW

0 Upvotes

If you do not have an artistic bone in your body, or you don’t roleplay, stop reading this post.

Emi, why is this tagged nsfw? Because, I write smutty roleplays involving cute elf/moth/humans ladies with brooding monster boyfriends that are black cat personality types. I also draw smut, lol.

I don’t actually like reading monster romance books because 1st person narratives throw me off. It’s always one sided and if there is a POV switch, I’m more interested in the monsters view, like I’m enthralled by how they come to love a human lol.

But yeah.

Hello I’m Emi! Bi, Latina, and a lazy goth girl/themby. In an open relationship but not looking (I am hella lazy and honestly I just wanna be friends that hold hands and grab coffee together while chatting about our favorite fictional crushes). At best it’d be fwb stuff in a creative setting.

I am autistic though and very very greysexual. So like it’s gonna be difficult overall. That’s why I like roleplaying/writing and drawing. It hits a lot different. I’m the kind of person that likes making OCs to pair with a friend’s OC, like your oc and my oc should maybe kiss~

I am 36 and nerdy. I love art. I like reading manga and some books, and watching anime. Fav series are Dungeon Meshi, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, Frieren, Shingeki no Bahamut, Last Exile, and Zoids.

Super into museums, botanical gardens, art, movies, writing and being a potato when I come home from work. Favorite video games were honestly FF12, 13, and 15. Beyond Good and Evil was good too! Also I really did like the FF7 spin off game Dirge of Cerberus. I used to have a crush on Reno, lol. Kingdom Hearts too but I stopped keeping up with it. I still have to finish Death Stranding 2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance.

My only requirement is that you know what a bad dragon is, or other such manner of toys. That’s it! I mean there is more like, drawing, writing roleplays, playing FFXIV and liking anime and manga.

I need more weird people in my life!

Also more creative friends that play FFXIV would be so nice. I’m in Aether/Jenova

also… I think I finally understand the girlies that love masked men on TT. Kamen Rider kinda does the same thing for me lmfao. I mean Ghost from CoD kinda does that too, but idk I was never into him much. Kƶnig on the other hand, woof.

I need more women in my life that are weird and nerdy!! Also do you have a favorite rock? I do, it’s fluorite :)

Outside of all that I just got back into Control and Dragon’s Dogma again. I’ve been itching to write a roleplay based on Control but I fear it is too niche.

Seriously though if yo do NOT play FFXIV we are not going to get along.

Looking for:
* Art buddy
* FFXIV buddy
* roleplay writing buddy
* monster smut lover

M4F Illinois 50 [M4F] #Chicago - Looking for A Brilliant, Pervy Girl NSFW

1 Upvotes

Here's the thing. I LOVE wit and flirty banter.
I'm looking for someone who is clever and fun to talk to. More than intelligence. Someone who sparkles. Whose brilliance lights up the sky. I want to feel fireworks, not just sparks.

I'm looking for a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it. Whose sexual desires are more than just "kinky".

Maybe there's a compulsion underlying your desire. An impulsiveness. Something you can't quite control. A tendency to make questionable decisions because of your lustful needs.

Maybe your fantasies are things you'd never tell another soul about. Maybe you wonder if you have "too much" sex or you want sex more than other people. Maybe I'm the person who feels those things too.

I'm looking for someone who can match my desires. Who can banter all day long. Whose brilliance makes her shine brighter than a star.

Are you that woman? Because I know she's out there somewhere waiting for someone to match her light.

Message me. You know you want to.

36, Bearded, thick & attractive, Reasonably self aware and emotionally intelligent. Located on the East coast of Australia. Aesthetically I've been described as a tatted lumberjack or similar.

Plethora of hobbies, lover of all things books, gaming and working out plus a few more obscure hobbies.

Neurodivergant and obsessed with chasing the dopamine for better or worse. Sometimes I'll follow a rabbit hole online until it's 3am and I'm questioning if it's worth getting 3 hours sleep before work or not l.

Seeking someone to chat with and see where it leads, preference towards something more of a slow burn or flirty companionship

I've had success before so I am confident I'll find someone special once again

M4F Alberta / Online 31 [M4F] #Alberta or #Online - Seeking a geeky gentle domme NSFW

0 Upvotes

Hello there!

I’m a submissive leaning man from Edmonton looking for my domme. I’m interested in a slow burn dynamic so not looking to rush into anything though.

Physically I have a dad bod, with a beard and short hair so if you prefer your subs femme I’m definitely not your type. I generally prefer shorter/smaller women because the short domme and big sub dynamic is really hot to me. Size difference goes brrrr.

In terms of SFW interests, I love video games. Especially FFXIV and other JRPGs like Persona. I also love Zelda and other Nintendo stuff. I have a large collection of Lego too. I’d love to get back into watching anime with you if that’s something you’re interested in. And I love animals a lot! I’d prefer if we had at least one interest in common, especially video games as they’re pretty important to me. Bonus if you’re interested in playing FFXIV with me too!

Location isn’t a massive deal for me at the moment but the closer you are the better. Obviously within driving range is ideal but realistically anywhere in Canada or NA I’d be down to chat with. It just might make thighs a bit more complex.

For NSFW I’m admittedly pretty inexperienced. But I’m very eager to please and to learn with a woman I trust. Things I’m potentially interested in include anal, pegging, pussy/ass worship, face sitting, and being your deskpet >////>

Hope to hear from you soon!

M4F Online 35[M4F] #Online - I want to share some stories with someone NSFW

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at few days with no big plans aside from work. So I figured this is a good time to meet someone new, and hopefully work towards filling a specific void in my life. I am a creative person, and recently have just been really lacking an outlet to express that. So my hope is to find someone who is interested in reading some stories or even just ideas for them. Nothing super long and certainly more conversational. I can describe it better one on one.

I’m laid-back, easygoing, and open. I have no heavy expectations. Just a friendly connection with someone interesting. Think warm chats, good company, and something that makes you smile.

I’m looking for someone chatty, maybe a little weird. I'm also fascinated by people's hidden thoughts, things you don't express to a lot of people (this ties into the creativity thing). The anonymous and casual atmosphere here gives us a unique opportunity in that area I think. So if you want to get something off your chest too, please feel free.

If any of this sounds good, tell me what’s been lighting you up lately, what you’re looking forward to, your hobbies, dreams you have, or just something going on in your life. Single people only please, also please include a name, age, and approximate location in your opening.

M4F Pennsylvania 34 [M4F] PA - Fun Guy for Fun Gal

2 Upvotes

Hey there!

I’m hoping to meet someone special and build a genuine connection. I’m ultimately looking for a long-term relationship, but I think the best relationships start with good conversation, plenty of laughter, and a little chemistry.

A little about me: I’m a musician, an educator, and currently pursuing a graduate degree. Music has always been a huge part of my life, but I’ve got plenty of other interests too! I’m a big soccer fan, love exploring museums and historical places, getting outdoors, enjoying nature, and finding new places to visit. I’m equally happy going on a spontaneous adventure or spending a relaxing evening at home.

Personality-wise, I’m laid-back, affectionate, curious, and a little sarcastic. I love witty banter, meaningful conversations, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously. I’m not much of a drinker, so I’d much rather plan a fun activity together than meet at a bar.

I’m looking for a woman who’s kind, emotionally available, playful, and genuinely interested in building something meaningful. Someone who enjoys being silly together but can also have deeper conversations when it matters. I don’t expect us to have everything in common. Half the fun of meeting someone new is discovering their interests and sharing experiences together!

If any of this sounds like your kind of guy, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me a little about yourself, and let’s see if we click! 😊
