Age 26-29 29 [F4M] Giving this a try because it can't be worse than the apps, right? XD

9 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Ray. I'm 29, live in Downtown Vancouver, and ideally looking for a long-term partner (but like, let's be so fr, it's hard in this economy LOL). For now, I'm looking to meet people, get to know each other, and see if there's long-term compatibility. If it doesn't turn into a relationship, I'm still open to building a great connection, going on dates, having a good time together, and seeing what comes of it. I'm also very open to an FWB arrangement, but I need the friends portion just as much as the benefits portion.

A little about me:

I'm 169 cm / 5'7", femme-presenting, tattooed, childfree (now and forever), ADHD, and living a pretty liberal, mostly alt lifestyle. ENFP, chronic hobbymaxxer, and generally just someone who likes dabbling in everything.

I do a bunch of artsy stuff (paint by numbers, drawing, painting, embroidery, photography/editing), love cooking, am a huge weeb, enjoy TV shows and horror movies, and partake in the devil's lettuce pretty regularly 🌿. I love a good night out, especially for raves and concerts, but I'm equally happy rotting at home (maybe a bit more). Think of me like an indoor cat lol. I also enjoy hiking, camping, and going to the gym. Also love a random adventure.

Basically, I contain multitudes. I have a pretty active social life and a good number of friend groups, but I'll absolutely make time for someone I'm intentional about.

I'm growth-oriented, fairly self-aware, have a high sex drive, and value honesty and communication. I'd much rather we communicate openly than play guessing games. If we're not vibing, we can just be adults about it!

What I'm looking for:

Someone emotionally intelligent, kind, socially aware, and growth-oriented. Someone who's open-minded, takes care of their health, likes animals (especially cats), has their own friends and passions, and ideally enjoys cooking. Sharing some hobbies would be great, but you definitely don't need to share all of mine.

I'd also prefer someone who's wants to remain childfree and comfortable with my lifestyle.

Physical attraction matters to me, so for transparency, I'm generally looking for men who are at least 5'11".

If any of this sounds like your kind of person, send me a message! Tell me a little about yourself, what you're into, and what you're looking for. Let's see if we vibe. :)

I have a rather different and unique kink that I would like to explore a bit more.. I've been hesitant to ask people about it though but am wondering how best to approach the conversation.Ā 

Anyways, it's nothing bad, but I don't know that I want to write it here. If you're curious, feel free to DM me, and we can maybe talk about it.Ā

Age 26-29 ENTP 26 [M4F] Want To Be My Favorite Notification?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm William, 26, working near Downtown Vancouver as a Technology Services Professional. Figured I'd give this a shot because apparently meeting your future wife doesn't happen by accidentally bumping shopping carts at Superstore like in rom-coms.

A little about me:

- Canadian, Japanese / Taiwanese, grew up in Hong Kong.

- Just under 6', fit, glasses, dark hair. Someone once said my dad and I look a bit like young Jackie Chan. I'll let you be the judge.

- British / Aussie accent. Don't make fun of me. I'm trying to become more Canadian by learning not to call someone a muppet during road rage.

- Work in Technology Services.

- Robotics engineering background, photographer, and creative.

- Proud owner of an 80s Porsche. Yes, I'm slowly becoming that classic car dad.

- Big fan of 80s music, movies, night drives, and exploring new places.

- Extrovert with ADHD, so I tend to be pretty enthusiastic about the things and people I care about. I'm big on clear communication, and when I'm interested in someone, my intentions are consistent. I also value consistency in communication, in-person connection, and reassurance. No guessing games or wondering where you stand with me.

I'm a bit of an old-school gentleman. I'll remember your coffee order, bring you food after a long day, plan little adventures, and probably take way too many pictures along the way. I'm affectionate, goofy once I'm comfortable, and fully capable of making terrible 911 jokes with a completely straight face. Occupational hazard, perhaps.

I'm also someone who values physical intimacy in a relationship, and for the sake of being upfront, I have a pretty high sex drive. Obviously, emotional connection, mutual comfort, and consent matter just as much to me, but I think compatibility in that area is worth being able to talk about openly.

So, what am I looking for?

Someone aged 20–30 who's kind, loyal, affectionate, family-oriented, and genuinely looking for something long-term. I'm dating with marriage in mind, not looking to collect situationships like PokĆ©mon cards.

I'd love to find my best friend and future co-pilot. Someone I can laugh with over the dumbest things, go on spontaneous drives with, spend a lazy Sunday cuddling with, and eventually build a family with.

I appreciate the little things: good morning and good night texts, random check-ins, quality time, affection, and knowing we're both making an effort. I'm a firm believer that a relationship should feel like a mutual effort, with both people choosing each other and making each other feel valued, wanted, and prioritized. Life gets messy sometimes, but I'd rather work through things together than give up when they're no longer perfect. I'm also hoping to meet someone whose intentions are clear and who is emotionally available and willing to communicate openly about where we stand. I tend to feel anxious in relationships where someone is distant, inconsistent, or avoids conversations about their feelings, so a secure, communicative connection is important to me.

I've generally connected best with Caucasian women through past experiences, partly because of shared interests in music, movies, and similar values. I know I give off the energy of a classic car dad who listens to Phil Collins and watches 80s blockbusters, so if that's your thing, we might get along. That said, genuine chemistry and compatible values matter most to me.

I'd also prefer someone local. Coffee, a day trip, an adventure, or a late-night drive sounds much better than becoming pen pals for six months.

If you're looking for something genuine too, tell me a little about yourself! What are you passionate about? What's your idea of a great first date? And most importantly, can you tolerate questionable dad jokes?

Maybe we'll hit it off. Worst case, you get a funny story out of it. Best case, we never have to use dating apps again.
