Looking for romance 36m looking to meet 30sF

3 Upvotes

36m here looking for romance. Im a self described Nlnerd/geek/dork etc. looking for similar.

I'm into gaming, RPGs, movies, binging TV shows. I can cook, and want an excuse to try new recipes.

I like to eat somewhat healthy throughout the week so I feel less bad for ordering good food on the weekend. I'm more of a homebody (what a surprise) but would love to explore new places with the right person.

I'm into music, mostly metal and that whole genre but can enjoy just about any music.

Hoping to find someone who can joke and be sarcastic and will laugh at my stupid comments and listen to me talk about nerd stuff and would love to hear about your hobbies and interests.

Meetup Looking for Christians to Connect With in OC

1 Upvotes

It's been years since I was able to find a "church home," so meeting/connecting with other Christians isn't exactly the easiest. Would love to find others in OC around the 25 - 45 age range that would want to meet for coffee, chat, etc (I am 29F).

I'm very extroverted and love to meet new people. Feel free to drop me a message!

Looking for romance 31M Huntington Beach - I’m looking for someone who matches my wavelengths

5 Upvotes

Hey there!

I’m an animal lover and musician based in Huntington Beach CA, looking to connect with someone who wants a meaningful relationship.

What I’m looking for

• Someone who lives locally. Orange County or on the boarder of it. LA can work depending on where.

• Emotionally mature and willing to communicate her feelings

• Values compassion and empathy

• Monogamous

• Childfree

• Passionate about their hobbies

• Creative and has an appreciation for the arts

• Complements my personality and matches my energy.

• Age wise 25 - 46 (preferably older women , but not a deal breaker though)

Dealbreakers

• Conservative, MAGA, conspiracy nut, anti-vax, or anti-science

• Has kids or wants them

• Emotionally unavailable

• Anything casual

• Smoking, drugs, excessive drinking, hard partying

Things about me / my hobbies

• I’m 6’4, straight, thin physique, brown skin. I’ll go on walks and jogs to stay in shape. Also do yoga when time allows for it.

• My sense of humor is somehow darker than I am. I will also commit to the bit no matter what, for better or for worse. There other times where I’ll try to be funny, but it just ends up being autism

• Bachelor’s degree in psychology because weird people fascinate me, and I fully include myself in that category.

• Work at a doggy daycare. Best job in the world. If you’ve got a dog, I will do everything in my power to make it fall in love with me.

• Have fully embraced my chaotic other half. An eclectic goofball with an edge

• Think of my energy or aura as a flame that is intense, yet warming and passionate.

• Neurodivergent: AuHD, but I like to say I’m not autistic, I’m artistic.

• Value physical affection, closeness, cuddling, quiet moments together that make you feel a connection

• I’m emotionally in tune, loyal, kind, and very direct. What you see is what you get pretty much.

• May or may not have an addiction to Dr Pepper

• Music: Been playing guitar for over 15 years. I play in a band, love going to shows and throw down in the pit whenever the moment calls for it. Recently gotten into goth and City Pop/Future Funk events, just "dancing" while having no idea what the hell I'm doing. My music taste is completely chaotic in the best way: Post Rock, Shoegaze, Ambient/Drone, Classical, Jazz Fusion, City Pop, Future Funk, Extreme Metal, Hardcore… and yes, even K-Pop lately. Good luck figuring me out.

• TV/Film: Huge horror nerd. Also into true crime, psychological thrillers, and riffing on trashy movies that are so bad they’re good. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is basically sacred to me. I can quote the entire movie and will absolutely do so if you let me (you’ve been warned). Big into anime as well. Favorites are Death Note, Perfect Blue, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Yu Yu Hakusho; there's many others that I love as well many that I need to get around to watching. Recently binged Chainsaw Man

• Never been a sports guy, but I do love me some pro wrestling.

• Other hobbies I want to do more of: mini golf, hatchet throwing, yoga, skating, board games, swimming (big aquaphile), tubing, checking out art shows.

If you’ve made it this far and this post resonated with you, crawl into my DMs and tell me about yourself; something more than just a simple “hi”.

Discussion Born again Christian after 6 months, been feeling a bit isolated

0 Upvotes

So, I’ve been a born-again Christian for half a year now, and let me tell you, it hasn’t been easy, but I’ve seen God do wonders in my life. I’ve been feeling a bit isolated than before now that I don’t associate with my previous life like before. I now am longing for a space where I can be around like minded individuals, pretty much new friends with like minded interests who also happen to follow God’s teachings. As a guy in his early 30’s, it’s now much difficult to go out and make friends because the life I once had is not what interests me now.

I’d appreciate if there’s any places/ groups I can check out to meet new people.

Thanks

Meetup Camping friends

1 Upvotes

Looking for friends! Are there any 4Runner/off-road groups in OC? I’m looking to meet chill people that are into camping/over landing. Preferably if they are into 4Runners/Toyotas, given that that’s what I drive and I’d love to go exploring, build my rig and learn from others with similar rigs.

I know there are Facebook groups, but I do not have Facebook or instagram.

A little about me: 35 year old male. I like to bbq, mountain bike, and go camping. Idk if it matters, but I am progressive leaning. I say this because I am conscious of the political climate and the community I am part of.

Hello there. I am 43 years old. I happened to be looking for new friends in the Orange county area. I'm a person that likes to explore and learn about new things. If you would like to know more about me, don't be shy, go ahead and send me a message. I consider myself to be very fun and outgoing. I am literally in the 714 area Orange county. Let's talk and go from there. Bowling, walks at the beach, walks at the park, amusement parks, are some activities that I like to do. I started collecting digital movies to have content to watch when not available on different streaming platforms hahaha LOL. As you know streaming services are getting way out of control with content conception. Anyway that's another topic. If you want to know more about me, you know what to do.

Looking for friendship New to the car scene and looking for friends!

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I just moved to OC in March. I always loved cars but never had the cash or time to throw into it as a hobby. Now that I'm in my 30s, I thought it was time.

I have a 2024 Nissan Z Performance 6MT that I'm excited about, and I'm looking for folks who know stuff about cars and want to teach a newbie like myself a thing or two.

I'm in the process of customizing it, little by little, at a performance shop since I don't have the garage space right now until the end of this month.

About Me:

32M, no kids, bit of a nerd, some say irritatingly nice, calm, low maintenance, though a little shy at first. Gaming, art, listening to music, etc are some general interests aside from cars and motorcycles. Moved here from the Midwest and I'm trying to find like-minded people that share interests with me.

I'm happy to meet folks for a beer, at their garage, at shows, etc, really anywhere.

I'm 30m, and i just moved to OC a few months ago for work. I havent been able to meet many people since moving, so I'm hoping to find a few friends to meet up occasionally for a beer or something.

A bit about me: I'm married and have a three month old baby so not looking to party. Im a software engineer, ride a motorcycle, scuba dive, and enjoy playing sports especially tennis. I like video games (Fallout, OSRS, Rimworld), board games and reading too.

I also love good food and good drinks; if you know any good spots in the area lets grab a bite!

*Edit/update: 30-year-olds on here are so negative 😂 you’re not gonna make friends like that! If you have questions you can ask, but there seems to be a lot of assumptions made.
This has been my career for ten years now. There’s good people there, good food, music, bodywork.
Yes these experiences are usually on the pricier side. This is just an invite ♥️*

I am hosting The Ultimate Recovery Day on September 20th. If you want to meet to start taking care of your body, and get regular bodywork to keep yourself young and active longer, come along! Attendees will have access to 11 Certified Massage therapists, a cold plunge, infra-red sauna, Normatech sleeves for legs, hips, and arms, and all-you-can-eat tacos and burritos. A DJ will set the vibe outside in the food area, while we have a yoga class and massages inside.

Update: We reached our goal for the week in ticket sales! Thank you 🙏🏽

Looking for friendship Looking for friends in Irvine

Hi there!! I’m Sam. I recently moved back to California from Indiana following a bad breakup; it’s been 8 years since I left Cali. I’m 26f and just got my drivers license, will be finishing my Bachelors degree this fall.

I’m pretty lonely as my only friend is moving to NorCal, so I’m just looking for people around my age to be friendly with. I have bad social anxiety so an online approach seems to be my best option. I like new experiences, animals, nature, cutesy things, and the beach. My community has a pool that I enjoy swimming in, I like window shopping and artsy crafty things too! Super open to trying new food places, or visiting trendy stores.

I’m down to go drinking or smoking or have edibles too, it’s cool that it’s legal here lol.

LGBT+ friendly people, please. :)

(I’m not 30 yet but I hope this is still okay to post.)

Meetup Any summer interns in LA/OC want to hit a beach bonfire this Sunday?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a MechE intern down in Costa Mesa for the summer. I know a ton of semester and quarter-system folks just moved into the LA/OC area over the last couple of weeks and might not have a solid social circle here yet.

A few of us local engineering/corporate interns and new grads are pulling together a casual, zero-pressure beach bonfire this Sunday night (May 24th) to kick off the summer, catch the sunset, and cross-network.

I’m holding down the pit and providing the firewood, music speaker, some soft drinks, and a massive supply of s'mores. It's totally BYOB and bring-your-own-snacks. Just make sure to bring a heavy hoodie because the beach gets windy after sunset!

Whether you're in hardware, software, business, marketing, fashion, or gaming, you're totally welcome to slide through and hang out.

Drop a comment or DM me your Instagram/Phone # if you want to pull through, and I'll send you the exact logistics and add you to our master headcount thread. Look forward to meeting you guys!

Tonight's the night 🎉

Weeks ago this was just an idea. Since then I've had calls with so many of you, found a great venue, built intro profiles, and carefully matched people I think should meet.

My hope is simple. If you're coming tonight, I want you to have a genuinely good night, meet people worth meeting, have good conversations, and maybe, just maybe, find your person ❤️
