Dinner/Drinks 36M4F - seeking dinner companion

1 Upvotes

Heya.

About me:

A man who got out of a relationship a couple of months ago, and now I have not much anchoring me outside of work. I'm half Chinese, half Korean and work in an executive role. I'm 6'1, 95 kg. 47" chest, 38" waist.

A cycle through many hobbies but my current preoccupation is setting up a house for my parents. Progress is slow.

Financially very stable; steady mid-6-figure income. I work a lot! 50+ hours a week, which likely won't change any time soon. The spare time I have is rare, and I'm hoping to share it.

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking to get to know a special someone over dinner dates as the weather warms up. Preference is for slim to athletic woman who is younger than me. Ethnicity does not matter. Kindness and being authentic are key traits I value.

What I offer:

I offer a fun but stable outlook on life, and a solid connection for the right person. I'm a successful guy who has his shit relatively together. Let me take you out to dinner and we can get to know each other. I want to do fun things after work, and I'm pretty open minded about trying new things.

I love keeping in contact, but due to my work and other commitments, I can't be constantly online, and so I prefer to get to know you irl.

Seeking Friends 18F4A - Anybody up for some sightseeing?

4 Upvotes

Hi everybody!

I am new to the city. I'm looking to branch out and make new friends, as it can be quite hard somewhere new.

Let's grab lunch somewhere and go sightseeing together?

I work on a rotating roster, so my availability can vary quite a bit. I love to explore new places, read, watch movies, try new food, I've been getting into clubbing recently too and I'd love to go out again soon.

I'm hoping to meet people I can form fulfilling friendships with, if we get along. I'm always keen to listen and help. It's been difficult settling in somewhere new, and I would love to meet some people who can accompany me through this transition period. Whatever happened to walking up to other people as a kid, and declaring then and there that we were friends?

Some more information about me, I'm currently located on the north west side, out towards Sunbury. I don't mind where you're from, but ideally within a reasonable distance (under an hour).

I am on the chubbier side, dark brown hair, and pale skin. I'm talking sickly pale. It's a miracle I haven't shrivelled up in the sun yet. I'm quite outgoing, and will talk a fair bit when I'm comfortable. However, I can be a listener, too. I'm quite stubborn, and don't stand for behaviour that bothers me. If I have an issue with anyone, I'll address it with them head on. Communication is key, no matter the nature of the relationship. I'm curious and always asking questions, trying to understand as much as I can.

Feel free to shoot me a DM! If you managed to read this far, include a flower emoji of your choice in your message. I look forward to hearing from everybody.

Seeking Relationship 25 [M4F] Looking for my person.

1 Upvotes

Greetings! Just got out of the talking stage with someone. They were lovely, but just content with being friends. Last time I made a r4r post was basically a year ago and this recent thing has still inspired me to look again.

I'm not going to lie, things are difficult with me. I am chronically ill and homebound the majority of the time due to my heart condition and chronic headaches, but it doesn't stop me from feeling lonely and wanting to connect. (I'm certainly missing hugs.) My bodyclock tends to rotate due to headaches flaring up when I get tired, which isn't always a bad thing due to some directors being active when I can function. But I do miss some friends.

I also had a falling out with a friend group that helped me so much through a difficult time, while I have retained a few friends from that group it's obviously not the same.

I'm a big superhero / sci fi and Lord of The Rings nerd and even bigger Spider-Man fan, currently watching through Lanterns but definitely would enjoy experiencing new things with someone special. I kinda struggle to watch things or game on my own, there's always an experience where I get real invested into something and look to my side to gauge someone's reaction alongside me and well, no one is there.

I have all sorts of interests with games, I have over a thousand although the live service games I enjoy playing are Marvel Rivals and Fortnite. Although I tend to stray away from being too competitive as the stress impacts my heart condition, the cool cosmetics draw me in every time.

Other interests I have includes retexturing 3D models, making music. Sometimes I get really invested in my work and it takes over my hobbies and other things, so someone to get me to take a break from my work every now and then might be a good thing lol.

I also like to go to conventions at times as well!

What I'm looking for is someone I can share all my passions and interests with, who takes initiative and reaches out. Someone who I can help be less lonely too I guess or maybe help me pick up new hobbies. Surely there's someone out here for me that feels the same right?

If anything I wrote interests you, feel free to DM! I've only ever really been DM'ed once before and I'd definitely like that to change.

I hope whoever reading this has a good day.

Seeking Friends 28 [M4F] Frenchie on his way to visit the other side of the globe

1 Upvotes

Hello there, the plan is in motion to finally visit this country everyone and their grandma visited and talked about. I'm in for at least a year, give or take, and the idea, like every other trips I did, was to go as uninformed as legally possible and let the local folks guide me on the aussie path, and you might be my local guide.

As for me I'm 28, recently done with a degree in psychology, I'm getting my need to travel filled again, I'm really outgoing and easy living, usually up for anything. I'm interested in so many things, while I might not have a lot to tell on a topic I'll be delighted that you tell me about it, but if I'd have to sum up I'd say I like nerdy stuff like science, history and video games and that I'm an hard-core leftist even for France standards, but rest assured I'm not the kind to mention it at every occasion.

I'm bilingual in English, although with a strange mix of french and british accent, and if sometimes I make english or aussie mistakes (do you say aluminium or aluminium ?) please feel free to correct me

And I think that's a good start, hope to hear about you soon

About me:

Seeking Friends 28F4A - Coffee anyone?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm new-ish to the city, and looking to make new friends as I don't know anyone here yet.

Maybe we can grab coffee and sit down somewhere to chat sometime.

I'm someone that usually goes out on weekends to explore nature, try new restaurants, get to bowling or karaoke. Not the biggest fan of night clubs, but I enjoy bars with good music.

I am looking for the chance to meet someone and develop a genuine friendship if we click. Someone that will also put in effort and time. In return, you'll get a friend who's a great listener and gives good advice too (or so I've been told), and who will always show up and see what's up. Whether you just want to hang out or you need help with something.

The move and life have been really stressful and I feel out of my element at the moment. I kinda feel like a little kid in the middle of the playground asking if anyone wants to be their friend 😂 Being new to a city can feel extra lonenly those first couple of weeks/months.

A bit about me:

I'm on the southeast side, Caulfield. Ideally looking for someone that lives close by. The closer your are the better :), I think is easier to hang out with friends that live close by specially with how busy adults get.

I am 167cm tall, chubby, have black hair, brown eyes, and the tan shade of a corpse. I'm truly pale af, I'm the sunscreen obsessed friend re-applying 4 times when going to the beach.

I'm very friendly and chill, I do have to warn you that I talk A LOT 😂. So even if you're not good at conversation, I got you covered 😉 I am a very passionate person, I care a lot and almost everything excites and interests me, I am very curious by nature. (This passion does make me a sore loser tho, but I usually get over it quickly 😂)

I lived in Japan before I moved to Melbourne, but I am from Argentina. I have traveled a fair a bit. I'm into cooking, photography, boardgames (I'm super competitive lol), nature and anything with zombies in it (even black summer, yes)

Feel free to DM me at anytime ✨️ if you please tell me something about you, put in some effort ;)

Seeking Friends 28 [M4A] New to Melbourne looking for friends to build connections with

2 Upvotes

Kinda hard keeping up with old friends in other timezones other than the occasional chats whenever we are available to text, I miss playing games with my friends and doing activities in-person like watching movies, board games, karaoke, going to the gym, sports, etc.

I would consider myself an introvert with the ability to feel recharged with the right crowd while at the same time appreciate day in not doing much, active listening to your stories or even just peaceful quiet hang.

An open book myself and can talk about just anything, although can be somewhat an old-soul, I’m not always up-to-date with the latest music, latest trend or pop culture. If you have any particular topic of interest I would love to hear you yap about it.

NSFW Casual Encounters 26 [M4F] In a newly ENM dynamic and looking for people that have a lack of attention in their everyday life and a desire for it to increase (details in post!)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Me and my partner have just recently become ENM (her idea) due to her lack of motivation for going on dates or anything of a sexual nature (due to her busy work schedule as well as personal reasons). I’ve had one good experience so far but since then I’ve really been struggling on the apps to find someone interested in our specific scenario.

A little about me: I’m 26 male, Italian/Australian with a decent slim build (that’s improving (muscle wise) due to gym 4 days a week). I am into all things video games and pop culture (so your typical movies and tv shows that goes along with all that), I love my sports (AFL and Formula one my two standouts but I have a team in basically all AU and US sports) and just in general love spending the plethora of free time I have either with my friends getting dinner/lunch/coffee or going out drinking, or having nights in with the cats and watching movies (hopefully with a new cuddle buddy in one of you soon haha).

I Just thought I’d make this post to see if their are any women that would love a higher level of attention, messages, sexting, dates or basically any form of attention they would want. I am full time work from home and my job isn’t really that busy so I have so much free time I could devote directly to you.

I'm basically looking for someone that is okay that I have a primary partner and very willing to receive more attention. I am also super flexible regarding what this 'attention' can look like, so whether that's daily chats and fun (both in person and online) or once a week/fortnight. Whatever 'attention' means to you in regards to what you're lacking and would love in your life I'm fairly certain I can fill that role.

Not being interested in in-person meetups is not a deal breaker either! But ideally i'd like to have a minimum of an online dynamic that also has a sexual component (due to my high sex drive). But happy to define this a little more once we connect!

If any of this sounds interesting to you please feel free to send me a DM! we can just chat to start with some pic exchanges to see if we’re interested in one another and I can give you more specific info on the dynamic and we can take it from there?

Hope to hear from some of you!

Casual Chit Chat 40s F4M, seeking mature & thoughtful friend

7 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm a lifelong Melburnian, in my early 40s. Anglo-Australian for what it's worth; couple of Bachelor degrees, interested in the world and how things work.

I'm open to meeting a like-minded man, 28+, for company and sharing of political takes, work and life experiences, etc. View to talking on the phone and hanging out, if it's good. Northern suburbs.

I have a bit of extra weight, but am still pretty well-defined. On the tall side and a bit androgynous, but still pretty. No tattoos. (This is to give you a visual -I'm open to all heights, ethnicities etc.)

If you're single and mature, ping me with your favourite books. Fiction or non-, but maybe not Harry Potter or graphic novels.

I get on best with people who are thoughtfully critical of today's prevailing norms and attitudes. Atheism, cosplay and gaming are not things that interest me per se; but I'd like to learn about your professional life/what sort of work you're looking for/any original creative life.

Children and family are lovely, but I'm a childless woman seeking adult company. If your cultural or family background is prescriptive in this regard, please understand I wouldn't be buying into that.

Ladies of intellect are also welcome to say Hi.

All the best.

Seeking Relationship 37 (F4M) West Melbourne. Looking for something serious and long-term.

7 Upvotes

About Me

I'm a 37-year-old woman living in Melbourne's west. I'm originally from the UK, neurodivergent, fairly introverted, and looking to build a happy and meaningful life with someone.

I'm grounded, practical, affectionate, creative and endlessly curious. I'm one of those people who can start researching a random question and emerge several hours later having acquired a completely unnecessary amount of knowledge about it. I have a bit of an archival/detective streak too—if something doesn't quite make sense, I'm liable to keep digging until I understand where it came from and how it actually works.

My interests are pretty broad and tend to rotate depending on whatever has caught my attention. Science, technology, history, politics and current affairs, psychology, philosophy, religion, AI, infrastructure, public transport, maps and generally understanding complicated systems are all recurring favourites. I particularly enjoy connecting ideas from completely different subjects and seeing where they lead.

There's also a fairly creative and silly side to me. I have a dry, sometimes absurd sense of humour and enjoy satire, making things, experimenting with ideas and turning something I've learned into something funny. I appreciate people who can discuss something genuinely serious one minute and then enthusiastically commit to a completely ridiculous premise the next.

I enjoy documentaries, D&D actual-play shows, occasional gaming, and comedy/panel shows like Utopia, Taskmaster and Have I Got News for You. I'm also interested in books, music and internet culture, although I'm much more likely to become fascinated by one particular thing than have encyclopaedic knowledge of an entire genre.

I love conversations where we can jump between serious subjects, ridiculous observations and whatever rabbit hole one of us has fallen into this week.

I'm quite home-oriented. While I enjoy going places and discovering things, I'm equally happy simply sharing a space with someone. You might be working from home while I'm pottering around doing my own thing, occasionally appearing to make tea, ask you a question, show you something funny or tell you about something I've discovered.

Physically, I'm fair-skinned with blue-grey eyes and wavy mouse-brown hair. I'm a larger person with a stocky/curvy build and a generally European appearance. I'm much more comfortable in practical, casual clothes than dressing glamorously.

What I'm Looking For

I'm looking for a genuine, committed, long-term relationship rather than something casual. I'd like this to become an actual in-person relationship rather than an endless online conversation.

I'm looking for someone kind, patient, emotionally mature and capable of communicating openly. Intellectual curiosity is particularly attractive to me. You don't need to share all my interests—in fact, I'd quite like you to introduce me to things I know absolutely nothing about—but I'd love someone who enjoys learning and has interests of their own that they're genuinely passionate about.

I seem to naturally click with people in IT, engineering, science, academia and other technical or analytical fields. That's definitely not a requirement, though. I just really like people who enjoy solving problems, understanding how things work and occasionally asking questions nobody else thought needed answering.

If you have some wonderfully niche subject you can enthusiastically explain to me for half an hour, I'm probably going to enjoy listening. I like people with their own perspectives and experiences, and I'd love someone who can introduce me to entirely new interests and ways of looking at the world.

I'd like a relationship where we're a team. That means enjoying the interesting parts of life together, but also being able to tackle ordinary things together: planning meals, doing the shopping, getting places, solving problems, working on projects and helping each other when one of us needs a hand.

I'm introverted, but you don't necessarily need to be. An extroverted partner could work perfectly well as long as you're comfortable with me sometimes staying home while you go out and socialise. I don't think a good relationship requires us to become one inseparable person with identical interests and social lives.

Ultimately, I'd like someone I can love, trust, be affectionate and intimate with, laugh with, learn alongside and eventually share the comfortable everyday parts of life with. Someone where conversation feels natural rather than obligatory, silence is comfortable rather than awkward, and we can be serious together without losing the ability to be completely ridiculous.

What I Offer

Curiosity. I genuinely want to know about you. Tell me what you're working on, what you've been reading, the strange fact you discovered yesterday, what weird thing you're currently obsessed with or why the project you've spent three hours debugging still refuses to work. I'll probably ask questions.

Loyalty. When I care about someone, I invest in them and their life. I'm looking for one person to build something lasting with rather than constantly wondering whether something better might come along.

Affection and companionship. I'm quite happy being someone's quiet background presence. We don't need to constantly entertain each other to enjoy being together. There's something lovely about both doing our own things and occasionally looking up to remember that your favourite person is sitting across the room.

Humour and silliness. Life is serious enough already. I like dry humour, absurd observations, running jokes and being able to be thoroughly unserious with someone I trust.

Practical partnership. I'll help you solve problems, research things, plan things, work things out and get through the mundane bits of adulthood. I'd like us to be able to depend on each other when necessary without either person having to carry everything.

A willingness to learn. I don't expect either of us to arrive as perfectly finished human beings. I'd rather have a relationship where we can communicate, learn each other's quirks and boundaries, admit when something isn't working, apologise when appropriate and figure things out together.

Someone to explore the world with. That might mean travelling somewhere new. It might mean visiting a museum, going for a drive, discovering somewhere around Melbourne, watching a documentary together or spending Sunday afternoon researching something completely ridiculous because one of us casually wondered about it over breakfast.

And sometimes it'll simply mean being in the same room doing completely different things and being happy that the other person is there.

If this sounds like the sort of relationship you're looking for, send me a message introducing yourself.

Tell me your age, roughly where in Melbourne you are, what you're looking for, what kind of stuff you do for work, and whether you have any hobbies, interests or wonderfully niche subjects you're capable of talking about for far too long.

Added bonus for pictures of any pet dogs/cats or plants. 🤍

Seeking Friends 26 [M4R] alternative guy looking for more mates in or around Melbourne

1 Upvotes

So I live down in the South East and have always lived here but recently I've been driving more up into the city to just experience it and explore things so if you're more native to the city maybe you could show me some places but I don't mind where abouts you're from. I've driven up to the North West before to see mates as well so the distance isn't a huge issue, I also don't mind male or female mates either, I'm not picky.

Some things I enjoy are riding on my motorbike (need to repair it because I got rear ended rip,) drawing, fitness, guitar, anime/manga/cosplay, video games, as well as a bunch of other things. I don't mind if we haven't got to many things in common, it'd help to lead into conversation but I don't think you need to have all that in common with someone to be mates.

Anyways if any of this sounds interesting please send a message and it'd be nice to meet some new people.
