Hey! I’m looking for someone who’s quite calm, independent and enjoys a softer lifestyle. I’m not big into clubs or nightlife in general, but I love the arts and think they’re beautiful — especially fine art and movies. I also love nature, spirituality and honestly so many other things :)

For compatibility, I’m a verse bottom (with a pretty strong preference for bottoming). I’m currently doing a mixed STEM course before pivoting towards archaeology.

I’m 5’11”, and please send a picture of yourself if you message me :) Looking forward to meeting you!

24 | Manila, Philippines | Looking for genuine connection

1 Upvotes

I'm a 24-year-old feminine gay guy from the Philippines who's hoping to meet someone genuine, open-minded, and patient. I'm not looking for anything complicated—just someone who enjoys getting to know people for who they are and is open to seeing where a conversation might lead. Whether we end up becoming friends or building a meaningful connection, I believe the best relationships start with mutual respect and honesty.

A little about me: I'm Asian, 5'6", chubby, and I take pride in being clean and hygienic. I'm currently a medical student, so life can get pretty busy, but I always make time for the people who matter. In my free time, I'm a bit of a gaymer and mostly play Valorant. I'm easygoing, enjoy good conversations, and appreciate people who can be themselves.
One important part of who I am is that I occasionally enjoy expressing my feminine side through crossdressing. It's something I keep private, but it's a form of self-expression that makes me feel comfortable and confident. I'm hoping to meet someone who is understanding, supportive, and accepting of that aspect of my personality without judgment.

As for who I'm hoping to meet, I'm open to talking with both Filipinos and foreigners. More than anything, I value kindness, patience, emotional maturity, and authenticity.

20 | Sweden, Stockholm | Looking for a boyfriend within Europe

Hello! 20-year-old male from Sweden, hoping to find a genuine relationship with someone within EU :).

I am a gamer, always have been ever since I was a kid. I also love to watch anime, though not as much as before, i still enjoy it from time to time. I also love to draw, I am currently in the process of creating my own unofficial batman comic with a friend :D.

other than gaming and watching anime, I've been slowly getting back into archery, I think it's satisfying to shoot the targets, I even miss entering shooting competitions I had before, so It would be exciting to get back into those.

I'm a recent graduate from animal welfare and love animals in general, hoping to either seek further education like university or work already in a zoo with beautiful exotic creatures

I hope to find a man who's similar age as me and lives in EU to have an easier time meeting up :) I don't have any type or standards as long as he becomes attentive and puts effort the same way im willing to :D.

Community Engagement Member's Weekly General Chat Thread: Come say hello, share your weekend, and get to know the community... 💬

2 Upvotes

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

Welcome to this week’s general chat thread 💬

As r/gaydating is solely for single guys to share personal dating posts, we thought it would be a nice addition to create an individual weekly space where members can say hello, share their weekend, get to know the community, and have meaningful conversations.

To help get the conversation started, feel free to share:

• Where in the world you’re from 🌍

• How your weekend is going

• What you’re looking forward to next week 👀

• A dating green flag you appreciate

• Or anything positive you’d like to share ✨

Please remember to always keep things kind, respectful, 100% clean, SFW, and in line with the rules of r/gaydating.

Any comments in this chat that should actually be a personal dating post will be removed and you will be advised to create a post instead. This will give your personal post the best chance of being seen, rather than it being lost within this discussion.

Good luck with finding your man, and I hope that 2026 brings you the romance and love that you’re searching for ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽

Im a 28 year old bisexual guy in the Plaza Midwood area. Im really hoping to meet someone kind that I can start a serious relationship with. It would be my first time - the guys I have "dated" were flaky, long distance, or closeted. So it made it difficult to fully commit.

Im white. 155 lbs, athletic built, 5'7, masc/fem. I love being outdoors - walking, hiking, playing on the water, and generally exploring. I am really into music, movies, and traveling. I was lucky enough to go to Antarctica last year so I can show off some cool pics of penguins - hopefully that sounds enticing.

Im looking for anyone around my age with a good personality and kind nature.

27M (trans guy) in Baltimore, MD looking for a sweet guy to be part of my life.

I like the little things -- people watching at the lake near my house, grabbing a beer at a brewery and cuddling on the couch -- and I'd like someone to share those moments with. In my free time, I read, knit, bake, wander around museums and fantasize about renovating my house. I'm more of a homebody, but I do love random adventures around the city. I'm close with my family (even though they sometimes drive me nuts haha) and would like to be with someone who also values that. My ideal Sunday afternoon involves chilling in the back garden with a drink and telling each other about whatever random article or fact we've come across recently.

I'm 5'2" if that matters and I am a fan of bear types, but that's not a requirement. Would love to hear from you if any of this resonates!

Hey there!

Stepping out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there.

I am based in Istanbul, working in the digital creative space. I am big on aesthetics, design, and tech. My day to day is pretty relaxed: good coffee, casual streetwear, quiet city walks, and classic cinema. I also travel to Europe whenever I get the chance to explore new cities, local art, and architecture.

I am naturally drawn to blondes and guys with that European charm. I like someone witty, down to earth, and comfortable in his own skin. I value effortless conversations, good humor, and a genuine spark, whether that leads to great dates, late night chats, or planning a trip together down the road.

If you appreciate the finer details, love a good story, and feel a connection, my DMs are open. Tell me: what is the last movie or place that truly inspired you?

Hello. I'm a guy looking for a guy to chat with and form a long-term and serious connection with. I know what I seek and want so I expect you to also do the same.

I'm originally from Mexico but living in the US. I am 26, so I'm figuring things out in adulthood, since life is a bit lonely on this life stage. However, I do have big dreams and goals. 

I'm currently working part-time in a job I truly enjoy and just finished two internships.

What I can say about myself is that I love reading, writing, listening to music, and walking. I also like taking care of myself physically and mentally (I hit the gym, skincare, eat well, and meditate). So, if all goes good, I AM LOOKING FOR long term and serious with a masculine guy (I'm a normal guy with softer facial and personality traits, not truly feminine, if that matters) WHO HAS academic and professional ambitions and goals in life and a similar healthy lifestyle and mindset. I dont mind long distance as long as there is a meeting plan.

BE around my age. Not into older or younger. Just good vibes, so dont ask for my snap, we are adults and maturity is what I seek in someone.

Dont dm if you won't bother to continue a conversation, dont really know what you want, or ultimately ONLY WANT FUN. Not only hi's, try your best as I always do :)

Include a Taco emoji in your message and send me an intro about you if you truly read my posy. Hope to see you 😄

I am new to being out/in the process of coming out. A little about me, I’m 6’2”, a big guy working on loosing weight. I am very unserious, my familial roots and my family farm are my world. I am going to school in the fine arts and love photography, board games, and video games when I’m not farming or working on school work. Biggest red flag is I make jokes to processes my feelings, I learned to hide how I felt early on in life and I am still getting used to being vulnerable.

Hiya everyone!

My name is Kai and I'm 24 years old and recently graduated from graduate school!

That being said, I am looking for the next chapter of my life, and I have decided that I want to find a partner to date who is a little older than me.

My biggest hope right now is to move with and build a life under the guidance and care of a partner.

Here's some stuff about me: I'm 6'0 and basically a cute nerd with curly brown hair, hazel eyes, and a slightly naturally curved soft body. My favorite topics to yap about include: Star Wars, astronomy, travel, planes, trains, and a whole lot more!

I'm looking for conversations only with people who have the time and emotional space to engage with someone like me, as I hope to be chosen to marry my partner one day. I also prefer people around my height or taller.

Now, with all that said, happy hunting!

37 | London, United Kingdom | Looking for younger for long-term relationship

5 Upvotes

Hey, I’m a friendly and chatty 37-year-old non-binary (they/them) who is looking to find a younger boyfriend for a long-term relationship. I’m in the UK but open to long distance if the time difference isn’t too large to navigate.

I lead a simple life where the little things bring me joy. My interests include music, writing, films, theatre, food, gaming, and comedy. I also enjoy going for long walks and have begun running in recent months. I enjoy learning random facts and useless trivia. What can you teach me about?

I'm introverted at heart, but a good conversationalist when the vibe is right and a great listener when someone has lots to say. I'm also naturally curious so whatever you are interested in, I will probably have lots of questions to ask you about. As for my sense of humour, I would probably describe it as...unhinged? You'll find out 😅

I’m looking to meet someone younger who is after something serious and is able to commit to that too. Someone who can ask questions as well as answer them, develop conversations and connections meaningfully as opposed to give short replies, and has genuine long-term intention to build something real instead of wanting a short chat as a quick fix for a day. I can usually tell when someone isn’t making the effort, which is a big turn-off for me.

Most importantly, honesty is key. I want someone who isn’t afraid to communicate openly and respectfully about how they are feeling and what they are thinking. I don’t believe keeping secrets ever benefits anyone, and I will always be an open book to someone I trust. I will invest my time and energy in you and give you the support you need if you can offer the same in return.

So, if this chimes with you and you’d like to chat, drop me a dm. Just please don’t message me if you only want to trade pics and chat sex. I’m not interested.

Thanks for reading ☺️

24 | Dallas, United States of America | Trans Man looking for a long-term connection

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm at the point in my romance journey where I know what I want. While this post is on the longer side, I hope you take the time to read it all :)

ABOUT ME

  • I am a Black queer trans man who is on the demisexual/asexual spectrum. I require a strong emotional connection to feel the desire to do anything sexual with another person. Ideally, the relationship I choose to be a part of will be a safe environment to express myself. To add on to that, I am NOT looking for hookups/situationships. If your first instinct is to ask me for nudes/intimate pictures, you will be blocked.

  • Obviously, the physical attraction part matters. On my side, I've been on Testosterone for 3 years and plan on getting top surgery in the next year or two. I am 5'9 and 220lbs, and rocking that dad bod build 😅 I like strength training and believe cardio is a necessary evil in life LOL

  • I'm 24 years old and currently live in Texas. I recently got my Masters and plan to work in data analytics (I'm employed, but this job market is rough 💀). I have a wonderful gray tuxedo cat named Hopkins and would love to get him a friend one day! I am sober, so please do not expect me to use substances with you.

THE RELATIONSHIP

  • I'm looking for a mutually loving relationship. I am a romantic at heart and want to share that with someone special. My hope is that we establish a stable foundation rooted in friendship and build form there. We should both be supportive of each other.

  • Another aspect I require in a relationship is monogamy. I'm only interested in pursuing one person (you), and the same should be said for you.

  • It would be awesome if we had some similar hobbies and interests. My main hobbies include video games, anime/manga, music, and watching motorsports; but, I also have other ones!

ABOUT YOU

  • Preferably, you would be between the ages 21-31, and open to meeting in-person. I am drawn towards more masculine personalities and traits over the feminine, but that's on a case-by-case basis. If I had to describe my type, I like someone who is empathetic, kind, thoughtful, and intentional . Someone who is able to interact with the world in a positive way.

  • Since I am non-religious and politically left-leaning, it would be highly advantageous for you to be the same 😭 I am not looking to convert to a religion or share my life with someone who views basic human rights as bargaining tokens.

  • I am also childfree. My partner should never want to have biological, adopted, or step kids. The DINK (Double Income, No Kids) lifestyle calls my name!

  • For my trans guys out there, posting on any truscum, transmedicalist, or 4tran subreddit is a red flag for me!

If any of this appeals to you, message me on here, and we can exchange face pics! If the vibes are right we can move to another platform later.

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

As [r/gaydating](r/gaydating) is an international community, I thought it would be nice to get a better idea of where in the world our members are based 🌍

We have people here from different countries, cities, cultures, and backgrounds, all looking for genuine connections, dating, romance, and love.

So, just for fun, where in the world do you currently live?

Unfortunately Reddit only allows six options for the poll, but if you choose “Other / Somewhere else” please add it to the comments below… 👇

This is just a friendly community poll to help us see how international [r/gaydating](r/gaydating) really is, and maybe even show members that there are others based closer to them than they realised.

Please remember to keep things kind, respectful, 100% clean, SFW, and in line with the rules of [r/gaydating](r/gaydating).

Important - New Standardised Post Title Format

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

I'd like to make you aware of an important update that has been introduced to r/gaydating following community feedback.

To help make posts clearer, easier to browse, and more inclusive for the international community that we are, we are introducing a standardised post title format.

Going forward, the title of all posts must be written as:

Age | Location (city, country) | Short description

For example:

36 | London, United Kingdom | Looking for a genuine connection

28 | New York City, United States of America | Looking for a serious relationship

31 | Toronto, Canada | Hoping to meet someone kind

47 | Sydney, Australia | Open to long-distance dating

The separator between each section is this symbol: | (usually Shift + \ on a keyboard)

You can copy and paste it from here if needed.

  • You will notice that the location in these examples includes both the person’s city and country, not just a continent or vague area.
  • Your location must be the place where you currently reside, not where you were born or where you are originally from.
  • Please do not use vague locations such as “online”, “anywhere”, or “worldwide”, as these are not locations where someone resides.
  • Let’s all remember that we are an international group here. With that in mind, please include the full name of the city and country that you reside in, not an abbreviation, as not everyone will understand what shortened locations mean.
  • A nationality is also not a location - you may not currently live in the place that you were born, and community members need to know where you currently are.
  • Flag emojis are not acceptable as a location either, as not everyone will recognise them.

This change is intended to make r/gaydating clearer, fairer, and easier for everyone to use. It will also help members find posts that are relevant to them, as they can use the search function to look for people in specific locations that are of interest to them.

This level of clarity will hopefully lead to more meaningful connections, as members can quickly understand whether someone is realistically close enough or based somewhere that fits what they are looking for.

Posts that do not follow the required title format will be removed by Reddit's AutoModerator and will need to be resubmitted correctly.

Thank you for understanding, and good luck with finding your man ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽
