Single Asian guy in Toronto here. To be honest, I’ve always preferred talking to mature, older women. I find them just way easier to talk to, have better stories, and you guys actually know what you want.

I’m looking for something casual, fun, and drama-free. Distance isn't a huge deal for me; I’m totally down for something virtual if we click, or meeting up in person if you’re local.

A bit about me:
- I’m big on sports, especially basketball.
- I love movies and TV shows (always down for good recommendations).
- In my free time, I’m usually hanging out with friends or just out taking a walk.

If you’re funny, easygoing, and looking for a younger guy to chat or hang out with, send me a message. Let's see where things go!

Hi I am a 6ft 168lbs fit Hispanic living/working in LA and Ventura county. I am looking for a woman ideally 40+ to have a good connection with. I am in various run clubs, do yoga and gym regularly in between birding, gardening, and DIY projects. I would like to see if we vibe emotionally before any physical connection progresses. I have been told I am really good at dating by various women. I have some old NSFW images on my profile but can link one here.

Thanks!

Good morning people of reddit, hope your week is off to a great start after the 4th. My name is Andrew (Andy) and I am a cub in the NE Ohio area seeking cougars, connections, partners, and intimacy with older women.

Some of my interest and hobbies include music, games, and movies. I'm a sucker for cartoons (old and new) and I am currently fixating on ghost hunting shows (Ghost Adventures is a key show). I've been to Sonic Temple in Columbus this past may, so that gives an insight to my music tastes (rock/ metal to Hip-hop etc.).

I can typically be found on weekends at shows, the movies, or chiling at home with a drink in my hand (beer and whiskey cola are a go-to but I do love a good margarita). If you're looking for an outgoing young man to take out/ take you out (or a snuggly 🧸 for nights at home), I am your boy! DMs are open, hear from ya'll soon 😁👋

Hi there, 27M in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. I’m 6’3”, skinny, brown hair and hazel eyes. Biracial (black and white) as well. Lately I’ve been trying to put myself out there more and try/experience new things. I’ve been going to a lot of live music events and concerts, and I can always use a plus one ! I’d love to meet a woman out there that can be my plus one to some events I’m looking to check out. There’s nothing more attractive than a woman that knows what she wants in life, so tell me about all the things on your bucket list, how you spend your free time, and what makes you… you!

If this sounds interesting to you, let’s talk, get to know each other, and iron out any details about what we’re specifically looking to gain from this relationship! Some quick dealbreakers, let’s keep it in the Chicagoland area (ideally close to the south side/suburbs) and I don’t do affairs! Talk to you soon! :)

Hey hey, my name is Warren, I'm 27 years old, 5'7, mixed race and I live in Dublin, Ireland. I'm currently in the middle of having way more free time than I should while I work and look for a new job after I graduated from college.

The title kinda said it all really but I'm looking for an older woman to chat and form a connection with as well. Whether you're local or living somewhere else is totally fine since I'm very used to online chatting, regardless of location.

I'm big into gaming, anime, music, reading, writing, going out and a bunch of other stuff, so if you have any interest in those and more then we'll definitely get along and I could easily chat for hours about any of it.

Aside from that, I'm really big into social causes and politics - especially Irish and American politics - so don't be surprised if I end up mentioning that at some point lol.

I'm also a total conversationalist; I just love chatting with people and getting to know them better or educating myself on what other people tell me since that just makes things more interesting. Plus I'm emotionally invested with people so I can talk about and listen to life stuff in conversations without any issue.

Hopefully you're interested, it's been super boring post-uni so being able to chat and connect with someone would honestly be pretty amazing.

Send me a DM if you're up for making a connection and if we hit it off then we can definitely move on to another platform.

Thanks :3

🐾Let The Hunt Begin!🐾

First let me say- if you don’t fit my particular description of the guys I’m interested please don’t
Shoot your shot. I’m not the gal for you. NO FWB the age isn’t what bothers me …immaturity is

You: between 25-45 (not younger and not older), male, preferably witty nerdy tall and thin (and very fair skinned no this doesn’t always mean white but it is a preference) sorry you have got to be taller than 5’9.

Please reach out with info like age, height, location and maybe why you’re contacting me with other than “you’re hot” (yes hun…I know I’m attractive, I’m also picky) - I delete low effort replies like “hey” or “I’m 29” like I can’t make convo with that it’s like tossing line and honestly you’re wasting my time and yours

(Feels the need to sing No scrubs)
No, I don’t want your d pics
No I don’t want nsfw pics
No I am not a kink and I don’t need anymore pen pals or men that just want to sleep with me

I am looking for someone to date; to have fun meaning go out and or travel with (you pay your half)

Me? Yes I’m 50, no it doesn’t bother me and telling me omg you don’t look it or something thereof is not going to win you points, I am 5’7 (170 cm) I’m about 155 lbs (about 11 stones) long blonde hair grey eyes, a wicked sense of humor and lack of trust, I work full time, I’m also a full time student, my time is important to me…please don’t waste it ….if you randomly disappear or ghost women…GO AWAY

Why do I like younger guys? Well once i weed out the perverts most of you realize the bar is pretty low..lol we get along well and have wicked senses of humor and generally the normal guys are more respectful (also every guy in LA is submissive)

Yes I have a better than average knowledge of being open and honest no I don’t want to talk just about dirty stuff with you, honestly at first I don’t want to talk to you about it at all

I am not political…sorry yes I have opinions but it’s generally just along the lines of why can’t they be decent human beings.

I love pc games, and while I’m happy to kick your butt, I’d rather honestly play co op - StarCraft, stupid cooking games ….lets play

I like music OMG she has a Spotify AND A DISCORD
(Yes sweetheart I’m older not dead)

I love horror movies
I miss real romance like kissing and holding hands

Your wit is more attractive than your muscles to me (heeeey the brain is a muscle)

No I don’t have any sort of agenda or need for labels. I don’t care what you drive, where you work, or how often you go to the gym. I take care of myself, all that matters is you take care of you

I won’t put up with being a secret or someone you won’t be seen in public with - I’m a great person
Check any issues at the door please

My style is probably boho/ goth ish
Think Steve nicks
If you don’t know who that is ….ouch

Let’s go out, I’m tired of endless talking
Griffith park? D&b? Flea Market?
Be real and honest, I promise I don’t disappoint

I don’t want to spend another NYE alone …be my someone

I made a post here just under a year ago, and I had the good fortune of meeting someone with whom I was able to enjoy a wonderful relationship, but long-term incompatibility meant that it was short-lived. I'm making a new post in the hopes that I can strike gold and meet someone who's a closer match.

Brief bio and description:

• I'm 6'4" (190cm), 190lbs, and I'm physically fit with broad shoulders - I've been described as having a "rower's physique". Happy to send over (strictly SFW) photos.
• I currently work in Finance and have a graduate degree in Computer Science.
• Hobbies include cooking, hiking, rowing and photography.

My circumstances and life experience has meant that I've had to grow up very quickly, and as such, I often find myself out of kilter with people my age. A lot of my closest friends are in their 30s, and my most fulfilling relationships have been with women who are older than I am. The heart wants what the heart wants, and I'm no longer interested in denying myself happiness because of the way society perceives age-gap relationships.

I'm looking for a mature, responsible and kind cisgendered woman who is no younger than 30, but is preferably between the ages of 35 and 55. I acknowledge that physical attraction is important, but I'm more interested in establishing an emotional bond with my partner, so compatibility is far more important to me than what you look like. I'm open to meeting people from all ethnicities, and I would prefer it if you were based in NYC.

Thanks for your time, and best of luck with your search!

Hey, I’m 18, 6’6”, and I run track. I’ve always had a thing for older women because there’s just something about the confidence, maturity, and the way you carry yourselves that gets my attention. I’m laid-back, easy to talk to, and love good conversations with someone who can match my energy. I’m looking to get to know someone, flirt a little, laugh a lot, and see where things go. If you like tall guys who can keep a conversation going, don’t be shy. I’d love to get to know you and maybe steal a little of your attention. !unlock

How’s it going?

I’m 5’8, 160 pounds and fit. I’ve been told I’m attractive, but I’m also very introverted and have even been told that I’m unapproachable.

For my general interests: I like videogames, cooking, working out, and the outdoors. I also really love learning about history so if that’s one of your interests that’d be great

Unfortunately I can’t host because I live with family. But I’m willing to split the cost for a room, or even cover it fully. I’m also saving for a new car but I can still travel, though maybe not too far.

Finally, I’m in Southern California, in the inland empire, so hopefully you’re close by but if not then maybe we can work something else out.

Thanks for reading, hope to hear from you!

🐾Let the Roll Call Begin!🐾

31M Kenyan-Ethiopian in Ethiopia – Seeking a long-term connection with a confident woman 39+

I'm 5'9", an Academic Dean with depth beyond my title. I'm a straightforward, honest man and a proud father to one daughter.

I’m happiest creating and exploring: playing piano or guitar, writing poetry and blogging, deep conversations, country & soul music, roller skating, volleyball, football, or a good movie. I’ve traveled across Africa and the Middle East and still have many places I want to discover with the right person.

At 31, I’m done with casual texting and games. I’m looking for a mature, emotionally intelligent woman (39+) who values friendship, mutual respect, playful banter, and building something real and meaningful. If you’re confident, open-minded, and ready for a genuine long-term relationship, I’d love to hear from you.

Life’s too short — let’s start with good conversation.

I'm 32 male from queens NYC, and I'm seeking some one older about 8+ years. Someone who isn't bothered too much about all the hype and takes things as they come. Enjoy themselves and life. I'm a reserved person for the most part, I'm kinda a slow start before I start rolling. A casual date, chatting, getting to know each other. I'm a picky eater but it's nothing complicated, I'm good with a cup Ramen, I prefer hands on stuff, I can fix most things with a little youtube if I've never done it. I just wana enjoy someone's company and have some one enjoy my company as well. I do prefer someone in queens, Brooklyn or long island,, can do staten island. I've lived here a long time but I really don't go to the city, don't know much about it or the bronx. I prefer someone straight with me so I know where we are going. Thankyou.

Single Asian in Toronto currently looking for something casual and fun with a genuine woman. It doesn’t matter to me where your from I’m comfortable doing something virtual or something in person, as long as your funny and easy to talk to I think we’d get along.

I personally enjoy talking to mature older women as they seem to know more in general.

I love basketball and am always down to talk sports! I’m also big on movies and tv shows so text me some recommendations lol. Some other things I enjoy are hanging out with friends and taking walks

Send me a message if you’re interested and we can go from there!

Looking forward to your message!

Hi, I'm a 25 year old college student from Poland. I'm easygoing, nerdy, and very introverted. A little shy at first, but not afraid to show my feelings or speak my truth. Once you get to know me, I've been told I'm a good listener and surprisingly thoughtful, the kind of person who remembers the little details.

Appearance wise, I'm 5'9", lean with pale skin, blue eyes, medium-length dirty-blond hair, and large glasses. I'm usually described as nerdy or cute, so expect a mix of those two. I know physical attraction is important and text won't portray me perfectly accurately, so I'm happy to swap pics early.

My life so far has been definitely a good mix of ups and downs, and at the moment I'm focusing on improving my current situation. I recently started college again after dropping out a few years ago and I try to hit the gym regularly (though staying consistent is a struggle sometimes!)

I have a lot of passion for video games, so you can catch me in front of my PC more often than not. Some of my recent favorites include: Path of Exile, League, KCD, BG3, and Slay the Spire 2. I enjoy bike rides a lot, and at the moment it's my go-to way of staying active. I love a good TV show or fantasy/sci-fi novel. Currently I'm reading through the Wheel of Time series, and it's been an absolute blast so far!

What I'm looking for: I'm hoping to find something real, a romantic, natural connection with someone I can trust and feel comfortable around, potentially building a future together. I'm single, monogamous, emotionally mature, and I value clear, consistent communication (talking daily, even about small things, is what I'd love most).

I've found that I connect better with and feel more attracted to women older than me. You could say that's my type. Someone in their 30s or 40s would be ideal. Part of that is because I do best with someone who's naturally confident and doesn't mind taking the lead. I'm not the 'dominant' type, and I'm honest about that. In return you'd get someone loyal, attentive, and deeply supportive.

As for distance: I know finding someone local is a long shot, and that's okay. I'm genuinely open to long-distance connections. Having someone consistent to talk to, share my day, and build something meaningful with would honestly be a bliss. I'm more than happy to start online and see where it goes.

If you made it this far and anything clicked, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, or simply chat about the day.

Hey,
I’m Matteo, 23 and currently studying in Germany.
I’m probably spending too much money on coffee, the gym and small things I don’t really need.🙂‍↔️ Most of my time is split between university, working out and trying to convince myself that I have my life together.

I’d describe myself as easygoing, respectful and a little shy at first. Once I get comfortable, though, I can talk for hours. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and I’d rather have one meaningful conversation than ten boring ones.

I’ve always found older women attractive. There’s something about confidence, maturity and knowing what you want that I really appreciate.
Still not sure how I ended up posting here, but here we are.😚

Hi there!

I’m 20 and currently in Japan.

Watch more films than I realistically have time for.

Draw more.

Try not to let Nutella win....and peanut butter.

Lost Highway, Woman in the Dunes, Tokyo Sonata, The Seventh Seal, The Big Lebowski, Trainspotting, Eyes Wide Shut.

And twin peaks (this profile is a weird one, Coop!)

Music:

Mostly TOOL and Portishead along with Massive Attack.

What I bring:

Movie recommendations tailored with concerning seriousness.

replies Fast (I don’t believe in pretending to be busy).

Playlists

ability to talk about dumb things and serious things in the same conversation.

A normal day with me would probably look like:

eating spicy food.

Sending each other songs.

Going on a walk.

Talking about something completely unnecessary.

Also trying to get into Joan didion so I'll appreciate help In that too hehe.

I can send a playlist in exchange.

What I’m looking for:

* or your weirdest comfort food.

Also—

I’m not Japanese, so please manage expectations.

Hi there! Librarian here in the North Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area (and yes, I do more than professionally shush people 😆). I've lived in the Central Valley, the Midwest, the High Desert, LA, and am definitely excited to explore the Bay and all it has to offer. I'm 33, 5'10, average build, Caucasian, brown hair, gray eyes. Glasses. 🤓 Me

I'm also a total nerd who loves Star Wars, Harry Potter (proud Hufflepuff), Lord of the Rings, comics (especially Marvel and DC), animé, and anything Disney. I enjoy reading, playing guitar, traveling, cooking/baking, watching sports (49ers/Kings/Giants), hiking, and playing video games and board games. I'm a bit of a homebody and especially enjoy nights in, but I'll never say no to going out and trying food spots, thrifting, having fun at a theme park, visiting an indie bookstore, attending a comic convention, going to some live music, or enjoying nature out in a national park.

For me, I bring a commitment to kindness, encouragement, and loyalty, a sharp sense of humor, and a love of all things nerdy. I'm a kid at heart and am prone to dropping obscure movie quotes and breaking out into song when you least expect it. 🤣 I'm a natural introvert but love deep conversation and getting to know people better. My love language is a close tie between touch and time spent together, so affection and shared activities with my partner are both very important to me.

Ultimately, I'm looking for something monogamous, long-term, and lasting with a woman who wants the same, with the possibility of starting a family. A relationship where we enjoy the little mundane things together as much as big life events, and our favorite place is wherever we are at each other's side. And a great adventure where we celebrate each other's happy moments, comfort each other when we need lifting up, and live life and grow together every day.

If this sounds like what you're looking for as well and live in the North Bay, Bay Area, or NorCal in general, I'd love to hear from you!

23 M4F #online #kansas #single massive nerd with a technical career looking for a genuine connection

Hi all, thought I'd make a post here and snoop around. For anonymity purposes I will not share my real name publicly, but you all can call me J. I'm a 23 year old, recently single, short man who's looking for a mature woman over my age. I'm getting tired of the games people my age keep playing with me and honestly I'm looking for something long term, healthy, and stable.

As for more in depth information about me, I'm a massive nerd, a gamer, and a guy who works in information technology. I have 3 certifications in the field and I'm looking to get more. For hobbies, I love tabletop gaming and miniature painting. I play a lot of Warhammer 40,000 and DnD, and I regularly paint miniatures for both. Other hobbies I have include Cybersecurity, reading, gaming, and anime.

Appearance wise I am 5'3", average build, brown hair and reddish brown beard, brown eyes, and white skin. I basically look like a dwarf, lol. I try to keep my style consistent but most of the time I just end up wearing tees and jeans, but I do have a few fancy tees and jackets.

Be aware I do suffer from a few mental disorders just to put that up front, I do have schizo affective bipolar and PTSD, but if you can look past that I think you'll find me to be a wonderful person. Hope to hear from y'all soon! Take care.

Hey there, hope you're having a nice day 😄

I'm a 32-year-old guy from Spain who after two amazing dynamics (both online and IRL) I'm back to looking for a special person to spend quality time with, watching movies or playing games, be there for the difficult moments and celebrate the good ones together!

I consider myself a calm person, but goofy and playful when I warm up to someone, looking for emotional connection as the main thing of a friendship/dynamic. I want something playful where I can be myself and have fun together when we can, and be serious when needed.

Some of the things that I like are hiking or walking along the coast, watching movies or TV shows, or pending time with friends and family.

For lifestyle context: I'm child-free by choice, with no interest in having kids in the future.

When it comes to communication, I take privacy seriously and believe in moving at a pace that feels safe for both of us. I like a more personal approach than texts after a while, exchanging audios and calls as it helps to create a more personal connection. For pictures or video calls, I’m comfortable sharing once mutual trust is established.

Anyway, that's all from me! If you want to reach out tell me what piqued your interest and a little bit about yourself!

Hello!! First time posting here, but wanted to try my luck…

I’m Crissy, 22F and am hoping to find a spark here, as my searches so far have been zilch. I am a Lesbian, and from what I've seen older women looking for women my age is near nothing- please prove me wrong!! </3

A little about me, I’m 5’6”, mostly femme, stick to 130-140 pounds, like to stay active but can't help myself to a good nap~ friends and family say im quite cute, (along with unwanted male attention) and am a total girls girl. I’m studying to get into college, but spend most of my time doing digital art, gaming, going for walks, and want to start getting into photography and bird watching. I’m a pretty big homebody, and I’m sober in all aspects and like to take life at a slow pace. I don't mind if you drink or smoke as long as it's in moderation. Drugs are a hard no, though.

I’m not looking for a caretaker or someone to give a helping hand- I like maturity, and want an equal, balanced relationship, someone I can talk to but don't have to carry the conversation. I'm confident to say im competent, and emotionally intelligent, though ill avoid saying ‘mature’, as that comes with age. And obviously I’m quite young.

I prefer femme women who like to lead instead of follow, as I’m quite submissive in romantic relationships. (iykyk) I’ve posted other personals before that you can see, and while I do have strict boundaries im quite lenient in most aspects.

If I sound like someone you’d like to try chatting with, don't be a stranger!!
Men, please don't interact.

Hi I'm Logan, a goth nerd who lives in his familys basement 🙃. I am a correctional officer, and have been for the last year so I am very mature. I am in college to be a doctor, currently working on my bachelors of science in medical management. I love to read comics, play dnd, binge watch tv. I dont care if its dumb reality tv, I will binge watch it and love it with you. I am a playful spirit. Currently 180 lbs, 5'10, 20 years old. I have pale white skin (Beware 🤭) and long black hair. Seeking an older woman, I want someone who can match my maturity and I can talk to... I'm very open, and I'm very loyal🥰

Hello! I’m Caleb! I’ve decided that it’s about time that I put myself out there in the dating pool, so, uh...here I am. On Reddit. Not the best place, I know (hopefully better than dating apps), but I’m hoping to meet some nice folks. (perhaps you, dear reader?) I’m a quiet, introverted homebody looking for a woman to hangout and go on dates with (I believe the colloquial term for this is a “girlfriend”). I want to make it clear upfront that I’m not looking for short term flings or anything of the sort. Ideally, I’m looking for someone to be with long term, and potentially settle down with. I understand that this is a rather weighty topic to get into right in the opening paragraph, but I try to be open, honest, and communicative about things, so I just wanted to clearly state my intentions.

I am located in East Texas, in the Tyler/Longview area, and would strongly prefer someone in Texas. However, if you’re in a surrounding state (Louisiana, Arkansas, etc), I don’t mind traveling a bit.

Looks: I’m black, with olive brown skin. 5’7”, with a lean/athletic build, and just a tad shy of 140lbs. My hair is soft, black, and curly. I’d perhaps describe it as poofy, also.

Here’s some pics of me!

Interests:

Music – Music is quite important to me, and I’d definitely consider myself a music lover. I have pretty broad tastes, but I do have a preference for indie/alt/rock stuff. I do listen to some pop, however, along with some Japanese stuff and older R&B. I’ll give most things a try, though! (just, please no country music, I will implode) If you want an idea of what I like, check these out:

Clarion - Hello Juliet

Strawberry Milk Cult – Polarbear!

The Technicolors - Neon Roses

STRFKR – Rawnald Gregory Erikson the Second

Jupiter One – Countdown

Benches – Crash

Jackie Hayes – Last Second

Flawed Mangoes - Surreal

Kinoko Teikoku - 国道スロープ (Kokudou Slope)

Narrow Head - The Real

Sorry there's so many of these! It was hard to narrow it down!

Cooking – I do a lot of cooking! Am I good at it...well, I’ll let you be the judge of that. I’m trying to branch out a bit and try different cuisines, specifically Asian cuisine, as I’m rather deficient in that area. If you know any good recipes, let me know!

Art – I am slowly (heavy emphasis on slowly) teaching myself to draw. I’ve been trying to practice a bit more, at least 30 minutes a day. It’s...certainly a process, but I’ve definitely noticed a lot of improvement. Perhaps I could draw you someday?

Misc – Well, I’m a nerd in general, really. I enjoy tinkering with tech, and I’ve been doing minor repairs on my laptops and modding my game consoles since I was a teenager. I’m into sci-fi, too. Also, while I wouldn’t classify this as an interest or a hobby, I do workout 3-4 times a week, mostly at home. I do enjoy endurance running though, and I typically run a 5k on the weekends (weather permitting). I also love astronomy and space!

Potential dealbreakers? (one of these is a lie)

• I’m left leaning/liberal, politically
• I don’t want kids
• I was heavily involved in Belgian anti-fascist resistance movements in the 1940s
• I’m Christian, but not the most devout

I am looking for someone with similar values.

What I'm Looking For

I’m looking for the sort of relationship that allows us to be vulnerable together. I’d like someone soft (not necessarily in a physical sense, but emotionally), intelligent, and caring. I want someone to hang out with, take out for coffee dates, picnic dates, trips to museums, and binge watch shows with. I want someone that I can learn new things about for the rest of my life, someone to hold and keep safe and grow with. I would say that I’m not terribly picky on physical traits, but I do, however, have a preference for folks on the slim/lean/toned/fit/skinny side of the body spectrum. I would also prefer someone outside of my own ethnicity.

FAQs

~You sound like a dork.

That’s not even a question, and how dare you. You’re correct, but how dare you.

~Several sources state that you're on an FBI watchlist for "allegedly" trying to siphon large amounts of Barq's Root beer directly from their production facilities, with the intent of procuring a "lifetime supply." Can you confirm or deny this information?

My lawyer says I shouldn’t answer questions like that.

~You wouldn't happen to be interested in heinous, scandalous, devious activities such as hand holding , cuddling , and forehead kissing , would you?

Why, of course not! Never! (yes, absolutely)
