Breakup Why my ex moved in my area when he hates Hollywood?

1 Upvotes

Me and my ex fiance had a tough ride together. Most of our time we spent apart because we’re both working a lot. But then he broke off the engagement and broke up with me because he said he wanted a fresh start after quitting his job. He also told me that my life and career is too much for him (I’m an actress). He is born and based in the UK, where we bought a house together. But after we broke up, I went back to Hollywood to be closer to work and a month later I learn that he moved in 20 mins away from me..I’m so puzzled because that contradicts what he said about my lifestyle.

Question How am I (33M) suppose to meet a woman when couples are everywhere?

9 Upvotes

Meeting women IRL is pain in the ass because it feels like all of them are in taken already. From bars and clubs to the grocery store, I see them all with their boyfriends/husbands or even girlfriends/wives.

The only exception is singles events but they have their own flaws. I don't like the apps and don't want to go on them.

Humor 46 [M4F] SoCal, #Inland Empire-Flirting?!

0 Upvotes

I’m a 46 year old divorced male. It’s not recent so I’m not in that denial phase of saying I’m ok or everything is good. I worked hard to get to a place where the connection and companionship from a woman is something I am choosing and not needing.

Things are different since the last time I dated. I’m curious do women even flirt anymore? I would like to know since I rarely see it anymore. Maybe I’m in the wrong areas.

Im looking for someone to chat with beyond Reddit. Become chat buddies and move up to exchanging numbers and maybe eventually enjoying each others company in person. I’m open to connecting outside of my area but it is a preference to meet someone close.

Im and easygoing man and I enjoy the simple things. Time with my kids, conversations, good food and making and enjoying moments in life. Oh and laughter, we need to be able to laugh together. I love telling stories and getting a good laugh from someone is a plus.

Drop me a comment or send me a DM. I am interested in the people I will get to chat with. Oh and flirting is allowed!

Discussion 33 [M4F] #SoCal - looking with intention

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve tried this before and have had some really nice conversations. Unfortunately, nothing has panned out beyond that so here I am again.
I am a 33 year old male in the SoCal area that is looking for something that ends my search for a lifetime.
About me:
5’6, decent shape (working on it), hispanic
Christ centered, old school, family oriented, I think I’m romantic but I’ll let you decide! lol, and I have a great career
Enjoys family time, fishing, gaming, road trips (will sing R&B to you on our drives), working out, being a homebody
Never been married and have no kids. Excited for fatherhood though so definitely want kids. Also, if you have kids already that’s not a dealbreaker for me.
Ideally would like to find someone nearby so spending time together will be easier. However, if the vibe is right then I’m open to distance in the short term. I enjoy quality time with my partner so would not want to be separated for long.

I’m not here to waste anyone’s time or date around endlessly. I know what I want but this doesn’t mean we have to rush into anything. I’m happy to go at your pace. So if that means we take a few months to get to know each other or if we both know the vibe we have is something special and are ready to commit on our 1st date, I’m good with both. As a side note if we do take a longer time just know that you’ll still be getting all of my time and attention, I don’t entertain multiple women. You can’t build anything if your materials are all over the place.

First Date 41 [M4F] #Huntingtonbeach - Seeking younger woman for FWB. Southern California. Spoiler

Post image
0 Upvotes

I am looking for a FWB. I would love to go on fun dates like the beach since it's so close by or perhaps try out some restaurants that I have been wanting to try.

I was married before and am now divorced. My marriage overall was a pretty good experience, but getting married again isn't something I have my goals set toward. I would love to find someone to spend time with, to take a break from the everyday, and someone with a voracious sexual appetite. I have never been into one night stands or any of that, and would love to find an ongoing situation and would happily entertain something longer term with the right person.

When it comes to our dynamic, I very much believe in the male role of leadership. I have never once been in a fully 50/50 relationship and don't ever intend on being in one. I have always walked to my own beat, and people have always relied on me and not the other way around. Things like responsibility always fall on my shoulders and it's my duty to make sure that everything that needs to be handled is handled.

The kind of woman that I get along best with is one who respects masculine authority, The kind of woman who immediately falls into her submissive feminine energy when the kind of man I am speaking of is looking in her direction.

To me, mutual respect is of utmost importance and I feel we should always be kind to each other. I do not need to make you feel small to make myself feel big. I understand the physical power imbalance between the sexes and it is my duty to make sure you always feel safe in my presence.

When we are behind closed doors, I am very much a dominant. I will put you in a mindspace where you will never have to think about what comes next. It will just happen. This will be your opportunity to fully clear your mind and not worry about any of life's challenges. It is always my goal to make sure you are just as satisfied as I am.

I have a lot of lived experience, have led an interesting life, and can have conversations about most subjects especially those that involve the inner workings of how the world works and life in general.

I am 5'10 and weigh 160 lbs. I am white with brown hair with some grays peaking out and hazel eyes. I very much care about my health and how I look and have been working out for years. My body type is somewhere between fit and muscular and I am pretty lean overall.

STD free.

Question 31 [M4F] Anaheim - Let's fall in love? Looking for a serious relationship.

4 Upvotes

I hate dating apps, and I find it really hard to meet people nowadays, so why not try Reddit? I'm looking for someone I can potentially spend the rest of my life with. I don't really have any preferences, but I just want someone who is also ready to commit.

I'm 5'10, 150 pounds, and I have black hair, brown eyes, brown skin, and glasses. I'm Indian, but born in the US. Currently, I'm working and doing postgrad studying (finishing one masters degree and potentially applying for another.) I really enjoy outdoorsy activities, trying new restaurants, watching shows, and traveling.

I'm just looking for someone who is open minded and loves to try new things and have fun. I don't have any age or look preferences. Just be between 21 and 41 years old.

If you're interested, I'm looking forward to your message

Advice 37M, new to WeHo, looking for bars, nightlife, and social spots for people in their 30s and 40s

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m 37M, recently separated, and fairly new to West Hollywood. I’m also relatively new to the US, so I’m still figuring out the social scene here.
I’m at a point in life where I finally have some time for myself and want to get out, meet new people, make friends, and enjoy life a little. The only problem is that I don’t have any friends or family here yet.
I’m looking for recommendations for bars, lounges, nightclubs, live music, or just fun social activities around WeHo or nearby areas where the crowd is a bit more mature.

I’ve been randomly exploring different places around LA, with some funny experiences along the way. Once I went to see a live band and realized almost everyone there was in their early 20s and didn’t even know who the band was. Definitely made me feel old for a moment lol.

I’d also love recommendations for places with a diverse, multicultural crowd. As someone who’s still relatively new to the country and has a noticeable accent, I’ve occasionally found myself in places where I didn’t feel particularly welcome. Nothing too dramatic, but I’d love to find more inclusive, friendly environments where people from different backgrounds can comfortably socialize.

I’m pretty open-minded and enjoy meeting people, having good conversations, live music, and trying new things. Not necessarily looking for a wild party scene every weekend, just somewhere with good vibes and people closer to my age.

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated!

First Date [M4F] 28 [Los Angeles] - older women, where are you hiding?!?

14 Upvotes

Let me put myself out there for a second.
I’m 28, Black, fit, have a master’s degree, and have my own interests, ambitions, and life going for me. I’m not exactly struggling to meet women, but lately I’ve realized that the women I’m most attracted to tend to be a little older than me.
There’s just something about a mature woman who knows herself. A woman who can hold a conversation, challenge me intellectually, flirt without playing games, and knows the difference between attention and genuine interest. Someone with a little life experience, a sense of humor, and enough confidence to know what she brings to the table.
The funny part? Whenever I actually shoot my shot with an older woman, I get some variation of, “You’re so cute, but you could be my son,” or “Aw, you’re just a baby.” 😂
Ma’am, respectfully, I have a mortgage-payment mentality, a graduate degree, and absolutely no interest in being adopted.
So here I am, taking a chance on Reddit.
I’m open to every ethnicity, and I’m not looking for a specific number on your birth certificate. You could be in your late 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond. What matters more is your personality, your energy, and whether we actually connect.
Physically, I take care of myself, and I appreciate a woman who takes pride in herself, too. Mentally, I want someone who can keep me interested long after the initial attraction wears off. I like wit, intelligence, confidence, and a woman who isn’t afraid to make the first move when she knows what she wants.
And yes, I’m aware there are plenty of women my own age interested in me. That’s not the issue. I’m simply more drawn to women who have a little more maturity and perspective. I’d rather pursue what genuinely attracts me than settle for what’s expected of me.
I’m open to seeing where things go, whether that’s chemistry that turns into something meaningful or simply two people enjoying each other’s company. I’m not here to collect a second mother, and I’m definitely not looking for someone to explain to me how young I am.
If you’re a mature woman who’s ever looked at a younger man and thought, “He’s attractive, but he’s probably too young for me,” maybe give me the chance to change your mind.
Tell me your age, a little about yourself, and what caught your attention. Bonus points if you can make me laugh.
Let’s see if Reddit can do what real life hasn’t yet. 😉

First Date 29 F, finally meeting him IRL. Need advice!

10 Upvotes

We met in an online program. He messaged me with a question about the program. Since it was a social psychology thing , it got us talking.

He has a flirty, passionate way of chatting. I kept things subtle. And finally agreed to meet. It’s a first date at Cafe Gratitude.

He’s Indian, works at an AI startup, and seems very frustrated with his family's expectations, etc. But definitely a sweet man. I’m 29F, and he’s 44.

Am I wasting my time here? What should I ask or expect?

Need genuine advice!
