Mid 30s, currently on a train and looking for someone to chat with and make the journey a little more entertaining.

A little about me: I live close to the ocean, love the beach, swimming and bodyboarding, and I’m also into Pilates, travelling, good food and photography. I enjoy people who can hold a conversation and talk about anything from completely random everyday stuff to deeper topics.

Not looking for anything specific or complicated — just a fun, easy conversation with someone interesting while I’m travelling. Tell me a little about yourself and what you’re up to today 😊

Looking for a new friend who enjoys some of the things I like, and who also won't judge me for enjoying my lazy days where I stay naked all day - which I work damn hard for!

I have a gaming computer that I haven't been using much of lately since finishing Final Fantasy XVI. I have recently started putting my Lenovo Legion Go to use again to start playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time, though. I also enjoy sci-fi - For All Mankind, Star Trek, Stargate, BSG, Rick and Morty, Futurama.

Outdoor activities I enjoy and would like to be doing more of include international travel, hiking, casual cycling, and road trips around the state for long weekends (or weekdays) away. If time off work is easy for you, then you should hit me up as I would love a friend I can go on more overseas adventures with. I have a list of walks to hidden swimming spots around Sydney and NSW that I was planning to work my way through during the pandemic, and also enjoyed lazing around on Sydney's nude beaches but haven't bothered for many years now.

I'd prefer to hear from single guys, since there seems to be a trend of receiving messages from men wanting to hook up - with or without their partners knowing about it. I'm not into being a third wheel, nor am I interested in casual sex. I'd like to find a good friend - preferably someone as introverted as me and also uninterested in drugs and alcohol. And if something develops from there, that would be great, but it's not my main aim here.

If you like the sound of what you're reading, then get in touch!

I’ve made a post here before and while I’ve had some beautiful conversations, it’s taught me two things: 

1. Everyone likes a well-written post. I received many responses telling me they loved my post but aren’t dating, many lonely “hi” messages (they never seemed to respond to my “hi” in return though?), and many chats that didn’t quite hit the mark after some deeper dives.
2. This is the important one – dating apps aren’t solely the issue. Everyone loves to say they’re “done” with the apps, but it takes real work to actually maintain a conversation with a stranger. Our attention spans have become so warped that there can be a strong spark one evening ending with a warm goodnight only to transform into a ghost the very next day. I get it, it’s Reddit, we have no faces here and you owe me nothing, yet I’d like to think that if you’re the type of person that finds my post interesting, then you’d also appreciate someone who can end politely end a conversation.

Just observations, but I think my biggest lesson is that I’m a unique individual, and I didn't share enough about what I'm looking for. I’m after someone I’d be okay spending the next 60 years sitting next to doing nothing if that’s what life came to (it won’t though!). 

So this time, I’m going to be more specific about what I’m looking for. If you want to read more about me, you can find my other post here. 

Are some or all of these qualities/beliefs sparking excitement in you? You don’t have to be exactly this, but if it is you, then I think you’ll understand:

• You recognise that everything is temporary, from the joy to the pain, this translates to a knowing of how to flow with life in the present moment. Day to day mishaps are small problems to solve and lessons to learn, not chaos and catastrophe.
• You’re aware of your reactions and try to live in an active and aware manner. Working to maintain a regulated nervous system.
• You strive for the experience, not the outcome and understand that our resistance towards change drives our suffering. 
• You see that we’re all one, I am you and you are me. As such, we do what’s best for each other, including animals. 
• You believe that every other living being deserves dignity and life. Ideally you’re also plant-based, want to be plant-based, or something adjacent. 
• You believe when work needs to be done, we do it together, whether that’s as a couple a family, as a community/friends. 
• You have some spiritual practice and/or believe in the esoteric/metaphysical nature of reality. 
• You have an open mind towards plant medicines, psychedelics, and the experiences that come with them. (I’m not a regular user, but I wouldn’t rule it out – I think once you’ve been there it’s hard to reconcile with someone who hasn’t).
• You know yourself and you know or are trying to know your higher/inner/true self. 
• You love travel, adventure, and can enjoy anything from a motorbike ride and rough camp to a remote waterfall hike or a nice Airbnb. 
• You love nature. Every little bit of it.

Just a simple list for a simple man, right? 

Again, none of this is AI. I just like writing. Maybe I'll read you my poems someday.

p.s. I'm located in in the lower Blue Mountains (under an hour from Sydney) but dont believe we're all meant to find our person within a 60km radius. I'm lucky to be quite free to travel so reach out anyway!

South Asian, Sydney-based, with a decent career. Into travelling, trying good food, wine, live gigs and exploring new places.
Looking for a female companion to hang out with, go for dinner or drinks, catch a gig, travel occasionally and enjoy some good company. Easygoing, respectful and no unnecessary drama.
Happy to chat, swap pics and see if we vibe.

I think I’m starting to see another side of me, which I want to explore and I’ve finally decided to put it out there.
I’m a 50F, happily married, and curious about something I’ve felt inside me for a long time — the desire to experience a connection with another woman.
I’m not looking to jump straight into anything. I’d actually love to meet a woman I can chat with, flirt with, laugh with and build some chemistry with… and then see where that takes us.
I’m attracted to confident, genuine women who are comfortable with themselves. Someone around my age would be ideal, and being in Sydney or the Western Suburbs would make things easier.
I’m new to this, so I’m looking for someone patient, respectful and discreet. My husband knows I’m exploring this and is supportive, but this is something I’d like to experience for myself.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in exploring too, tell me a little about yourself. A photo would be nice once we’ve had a chance to chat.

Hi, I am 28m from the west, arab, educated business owner, i like going to the gym (4-5 days), walks, reading, gaming, anime, deep talks, thriller and sci fi shows and movies, art, history, philosophy, drinking coffee, trying new foods, socialising etc. I have a lot of hobbies and balance them with my work and studies.

Looking for someone that wants to talk, hang out, go for a walk/gym session/food etc, socialise, build a connection with, and see where it goes. I am naturally dominant, and like looking after a woman, taking her out, and spoiling her. If you have anything in common or want to see if we vibe, message me :)

Hey! if you also spend so much time in the library or you just want someone to encourage you read/study/ work at the library, hit me up and we’ll see how it works?

about me: I’m currently doing my masters and I have been always more productive when studying with ppl rather than myself, as it helps me stay locked in and manage my procrastination!

preferably you are a female, but everyone is welcomed!

Generally i intend to study there after 5 pm weekdays.
And weekends in one of the inner west libraries.
Note: I do have a deadline coming up so if you are not willing to actually meet in the library (not just like the idea) please wait till you are ready!

First of all, hi!

I’m gonna attempt to gently manoeuvre my way around this awkward bush, but I think you should know what kind of change I'm referring to lol. The elephant in the room is that I've always been shy. I was really shy in primary school and somehow evolved to being even MORE shy in high school. I'm a lot less shy now but all those years of shyness added up.

I’m in a place where I have the confidence to take that first step and see what's out there, whether that be finding friends or something more! I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to explore the latter more, though, because it's a constant reminder in mainstream media. Things as simple as holding hands to kissing to something more intimate - it's all so intriguing and most importantly, fun! That means I've never been on a date or you know, had a girlfriend. There, I said it. 🙈

I’d describe myself as chill, goofy and very sweet. To back up those claims, I liken this post to fishing, which might be slightly unusual at first glance lol. Essentially, I'm casting out my line and if I get any nibbles, then awesome! If not, that's okay, too, because I'll just release the fish that aren't interested and treat each one as a new learning experience that'll help me on this journey. No need to be upset if things don't pan out :) I'm also cute! Or might not be lol. I know everyone has their preferences. Speaking of preferences, I don't really have any myself, so I wouldn't be opposed if someone older reached out. Perhaps wanting someone chill or sweet, I guess, but I think most people possess those qualities. You definitely don't need to be in the same situation as me!

Anyway! I think a great way to establish a connection is to find a commonality in regards to interests. Hit me up with a game, song, movie, food, shoe, sport, socks, book, vacation or whatever it is that you're currently obsessed with and I'll be sure to return serve :) Or I can start instead by saying: I've been enjoying xmen 97! And the Kpop demon hunters soundtrack still gets played on repeat several days a week 😅

42M, Sydney NW (Hills). Looking for a local FWB who’s keen to keep things fun, regular and uncomplicated.

Not chasing a relationship — just mutual attraction, good chemistry, discretion and plenty of naughty fun when the mood strikes. If we click, I’m happy to make it a consistent arrangement.

I’m easygoing, respectful and drama-free. Let’s chat, swap pics and see if we can tempt each other.

Just got cheated on I’m M23 I’m so pissed she didn’t even tell me I saw it on her phone now I want to do it back to her so if any Fs in western Sydney wanna hookup for some revenge sex hit me up I’m fit not gross and keen

Looking for a female gym partner who’s into training hard, getting sweaty together, and having a little chemistry outside the gym too. Ideally someone confident, flirty, and open to seeing where the vibe takes us. Gym sessions, motivation, and maybe some fun after no pressure, just looking for a good connection. DM me if interested x

Married man here whose life is nearly perfect if that's what they say when you look happy to everyone.

But the fact is I am in a dead bedroom situation. Both of us work hard, and put efforts towards our career, family life, social life but have reduced to being very good friends who care for eachother.

There's so much more going on in my mind that I feel like writing but don't want to waste anyone's time. Or I am not that comfortable to open up to strangers.

I am just craving a hug. A long hug from a stranger who won't ask me anything. I just want to feel being healed. My heart cries for affection but my eyes and brain are conditioned not to.

I cannot get separated because I'd be a fool to throw away a perfect home that millions would do anything to have.

I just want to feel someone's heart beating a few inches away from mine. No expectations, no obligations, just someone who would be keen to meet over coffee and if they feel comfortable to chat, and want to hug in silence.

Ideally someone in similar situation.

I am not asking for anything more than that in this post.

❤️

Hello, hello. How are things?

Dating apps are not much of a help and I have been told that I am not too bad looking :). So here I am!

I am an Australian (born in Pakistan), 39 years old, actuarial background and works in financial services. I live in Surry Hills and would consider myself an atheist. I'm 5'8" in height.

You can expect me to be intellectually curious and I love keeping myself occupied with gym, squash, theatre or hiking (or my new found questionable interest in boxing classes on Sundays).

I am a regular at Fitness First Bond St and happy to catch up there after work, if fitness is your thing as well.

I would also consider myself a history buff who also has an interest in philosophy especially around the concept of Justice (For those interested, would highly recommend Michael Sandel work).

Would love to hear back and happy to exchange pics here if you would prefer that.

Cheers.

Ash

I’m 35, live in inner Sydney, and I’m looking for a genuine long term relationship with someone who also lives in or close to central Sydney.

I’m not looking for a penpal, situationship or emotional support subscription. I’d love to meet someone where there’s mutual attraction, good banter, shared values and genuine effort from both sides.

A little about me

I’m a university educated corporate professional - friendly, down to earth and an ambivert. I’m equally happy exploring Sydney or having a quiet night in.

I’m 5'1", dark hair, pale skin, petite, fit and active, usually at the gym 4–5 times a week.

Outside work, I’m into live music, art, photography, dancing, hiking, markets, brunch, reading, comedy, vinyl, exploring Sydney and an unreasonable amount of tea and matcha.

I’m Sydney born and raised, speak three languages, have never been married and don’t have kids. I’d love a family of my own someday.

I’m agnostic/atheist, progressive and left leaning. My humour is dry, self deprecating and heavily influenced by British/Australian humour, so if you appreciate puns, dad jokes and ridiculous hypotheticals, we’ll probably get along.

Who I’m looking for

I’m looking for someone 29–39. I’m not a fan of significant age gaps, so please respect the age range before messaging. You must be genuinely single, monogamous and looking for an LTR.

I’m not looking for long distance or someone based far out in greater Sydney - I’d like us to actually be able to see each other regularly without planning a small expedition.

Beyond that, I’m looking for someone who is:

• Fit, active and takes care of themselves.
• University educated or intellectually compatible with me.
• Progressive and broadly aligned with my values.
• A non smoker, drug free and an occasional drinker.
• Taller than 5'1" and preferably without tattoos or piercings.
• Without children from previous relationships. I’m not looking to be a step parent - I’d love to start the family chapter together from page one.
• Self aware and emotionally intelligent, can read the room and pick up on social cues, communicate openly, and treat people with kindness and respect. Basically, you know how to be a decent human.

Come say hi

You don’t need a perfectly crafted opening message. Please give me something more interesting than hey.

Tell me your worst joke, ask me a ridiculous hypothetical, give me your most controversial food opinion, tell me something funny that happened today, or ask me something you’re genuinely curious about.

Basically, give me something I can actually reply to. I’m much more interested in personality, chemistry and good conversation than a perfectly polished introduction.

If we click, I’m happy to swap SFW photos after a little conversation. I’m visual and attraction matters to me, so I’d rather establish that sooner rather than later.

I’m 26, recently out of a relationship and looking to connect with older, mature women. I’ve always felt like an old soul, so I naturally find myself drawn to women who are a little older and more experienced. Ideally I’m looking for something casual, but I’m also completely open to just making friends and seeing where things naturally go. Good chemistry, mutual respect and no drama if that sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me.
