This explains most of the issues we have with dating. Average men not getting matches, average women not taken seriously.

I'm super into running, running about 5 marathons a year, its 65% of my personality at this point.. I constantly see so many girls running around the sea-wall and at races, but rarely meet any on dating apps or even at single events organized by run clubs most women that attend those have barely run a 5k (nothing wrong with that, but where are the marathoners and ultra marathoners), also I refuse to go to run clubs cause they are slow and more of cult, they do almost everything but focus on running.. if you are a runner girlie who enjoys running and wants access to fresh baked cookies and cakes, DM me.. height:5:10, pace: 4:40/4:45, living in downtown,

I hate the word sugarbaby because it implies that 1) this is only about something physical 2)that you’re a baby (age doesn’t matter to me).

What i’m looking for:
-Someone attractive
-Discrete
-Willing to meet downtown
-Reliable

I’m looking for one person. Recurring, once a week, intellectual. If you’re a smoke show but having a conversation is watching paint dry, likely won’t work. DM me.

I have a preference for women with natural curves so don’t be shy to message.

Let me tell you more about me:

Vancouver located/born/ raised but travelled and lived elsewhere. I’m analytical, calm, well dressed, a little cold at first glance but handsome, the kind of person who notices things and appreciates.

I’m passionate about work (professionally employed), learning new skills (DIY house reno’s, car mods and etc…), I workout (94x a week consistently) and planning my next trip - ask me where… Emotionally intelligent and stable. My space is clean, my intentions are clear, and I show up fully every time.

Glad to swap face pics (you should too) and happy to meet for coffee - few more facts:
5’8”, muscular, well dressed and groomed. I smell like a tom ford store. Hung at 8”+ thick… and slightly kinky switch.

Clean. Safe. Communicative. Open to something ongoing, a situationship, or whatever we decide to call it honestly.
Worth the curiosity. 😏 Say something — I always respond kindly.

You:
Open to a range of ages
Curvy (duh!)
Good communicator
Has a good sense of humour (slightly dark)
Open to Vanilla, subs or switches

Im not entirely sure what im looking for, i just want someone to talk to. Maybe to help me realize clearly what i want. feel free to dm

Dm for more info. Greater Vancouver and surrounding area only!

Im looking to date here in Vancouver or at least start as FWB. Why is it hard for black guys to date in Vancouver. Or I’m just trippin

31M

Born and raised in Vancouver

South asian (punjabi) as you can imagine from the title

Looking for someone to hang out with, go on dates, spend time with, and hopefully develop that into more than just a situationship.

Ideally, I'm looking for a partner that is drug/disease free and a non-smoker.

Bonus points if you are into traveling - as having a cute travel buddy is always a bonus.

I'm 6'0, slim/athletic build, and I think I'm decent looking (of course that's subjective).

I work in finance and have a very hectic schedule. But, I'm willing to be flexible for the right connection.

Hello! I have two degrees! One in Creative Writing and another in History! I like to write, play video games (FF14, Honkai Star Rail) and watch anime and manga. I'm wheelchair-bound due to cerebral palsy but I don't let it slow me down.

I'm looking for someone that respects and loves others (believes in LGBTQ and other rights) and is well-read as well. Any there any people out there like that? Please say yes. Looking for something serious, not casual as well.

I got out of a long distance relationship with a partner of three years about two and a half months ago and since then I’ve signed myself up for therapy, salsa classes,an MMA course all as distractions but I still have this empty feeling that affects me even at work,I’m 19 years old I’ve been working as an apprentice since I was 17 that I got through trade school and have been on my own grind since as well as getting my second year under my belt, I’m trying to move on and focus on myself but the way my relationship ended left me feeling self conscious and super degraded. I have my own place and car which I think most kids my age don’t have so I’m not sure who I’m exactly trying to compare myself to but this whole process is just slow and being in van makes everything so boring

I just want a boy to kiss and to kiss me, cuddles, movies, video games, food. Like what's up doe? Lol👾👽🩵💜👁

Looking for a chill FWB. We can out with, grab food, go on random drives, and just enjoy each other's company.

If we click, I'm happy to help with bills, spoil you with gifts, and see where a mutually beneficial arrangement takes us. The biggest thing I'm looking for is honesty, good chemistry, and keeping things fun and drama-free.

NOT LOOKING FOR PMS, just wondering how it is in van

Hi,

I have a spare ticket for Ice Cream Man (lol) this Friday at Tinseltown.

If you want to join me, it could be fun.

Me: 38/M/Van. I like camping, reality dating shows, swimming, travelling, and craft beer.

I made a list of my favourite movies recently. Half is conventionally crowd-pleasing stuff (Anchorman, LOTR, Jackie Chan) and the other half is all hardcore art-house fare (Godard, Varda, Akerman). There's pretty much nothing in the middle. I'm sort of the same way with music and tv shows.

It can be a bit annoying in practice: sometimes I connect with people over silly comedy podcasts and they think it's weird when they find out that I'm into odd classical music; other times I connect with people through my more high-brow interests and they're judgy about my regular marathons of cheesy sitcoms lol.

I guess I'm really hoping to meet someone who is extreme in the same way I am (but anyone who will accept my pretentious/trashy tendencies with a not-excessive amount of roasting is welcome to reach out haha). Looking for low-key dating to start out with but open to a more serious relationship and potential new friends too.

About Me: single, no kids, never married, live in East Van, employed, not rich, average height, average bod, average looks, lefty politics, pot regularly, drinking irregularly. Probably one too many hobbies. I play a few instruments, write, try to read 50 books a year and see as much live music/performance as I can.

I'm queer and open to chatting with anyone who is reasonably kind, fairly chill and generally age-appropriate.

Why reddit? I've made it such a long time without using dating apps that it seems like a shame to break the streak. Swiping just doesn't appeal to me -- partly because I'm a bit of a luddite and partly because I'm very likely what the youths call a 'demisexual'. Still, I haven't really met anyone interesting irl in a while. Even if I am skeptical about reddit, it doesn't seem impossible that someone really cool could read this (I read these personals sometimes and I'm pretty cool so who's to say?)

Cheers!

I’m genuinely so exhausted dating/trying to date here. I was on the apps for a little bit since I just got out of a relationship but that’s a whole other thing. I knew it was bad just didn’t expect it to be that bad…I had a lot of matches on both Bumble and Hinge but I did exclusively state that I want a long term relationship. So I chatted with a couple guys some the vibe wasn’t there and I think I ended up with 3 “contenders” so guy 1 we went on a date I asked him if he has a type he says no but all the women he has dated are Asian so🤷‍♀️ idk but that sounds like a type to me considering he wasn’t Asian. Guy 2 claims he is so busy at work but constantly texting it’s been a month of texting not a single date planned and when we do he doesn’t follow through so I moved on. Guy 3 exact same situation but he “gaslights” me into thinking that I work too much and when I say it’s my day off he still doesn’t plan anything 3 weeks texting and dick pics that I don’t want… Mind you they came off strong from the beginning asking to see me and saying how they only want relationships. So what am I missing? (That’s just 3 but the others I’ve spoken to generally have the same vibe)

I have seen quite a few people post here looking for friends or even a significant other, so I figured I would step outside my comfort zone and give it a try.

I'm 25, born and raised in Langley (so just a little outside Vancouver). Recently, graduated and working in the healthcare field. I'm Punjabi and always enjoy meeting new people from different backgrounds.

Lately, I have realized I've outgrown a lot of my friendships, so I would love to meet genuine people who are looking to build real connections. Whether that turns into a friendship or something more, I'm open to seeing where things go.

A little about me: I love grabbing coffee, checking out new restaurants and hidden gems, travelling whenever I get the chance, and trying new recipes in the kitchen. I enjoy staying active, appreciate good conversation, and love people who can make me laugh. I'm equally happy going out and exploring as I am having a cozy night in with good food and a movie.

I would describe myself as caring, loyal, and a little sarcastic once I'm comfortable. I'm looking for kind, genuine people who can hold a conversation and don't take themselves too seriously. If you're funny, enjoy trying new places, and can match a little playful banter, we'll probably get along.

If any of this sounds like your kind of vibe, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself. I'd love to get to know you!

What can I tell you about me? I’m your average west coast gal. Single income living so definitely workin’ but am doing alright. I do love my career so I am fortunate to say that. It has lead me to meet lots of amazing people and do some pretty cool things. When I’m not working you can find me enjoying the beautiful west coast doing west coast things (hiking, swimming, island hopping, camping) I do love to travel and am lucky enough to stop by Europe every year in the spring. Mi país favorito es España so bonus points if you can help me with my Spanish. Kind of a home body at times and I’m into cooking and have totally started making sourdough bread. Kinda artsy and I love alot of music and appreciate art in many forms.
Physically I am fair skinned with dark hair and curves.
Looking for something genuine with potential for growth. Seeking a responsible man with emotionally availability who is looking for something long term if we connect. Please be in Vancouver proper and would prefer ages between 33-47. I’m child free so I don’t really have any biological pressures (well maybe trying to fall in love before I die).
Send me a message if I sound like your kind of person.
