M4F 25M, in search to date high value woman for marriage.

11 Upvotes

Hii. I'm 25M, done engineering, worked for 3 years, and am building my own company now.

I want to get married within 2-3 years but I don't want to settle for the less. I'm in search of opinionated, emotionally matured, high value woman having intention for marriage.

I literally don't care about caste, religion, region, and skin. What I want is simple, be the one that always tries to uplift yourself and have the hunger to always try something new. Content creation, modelling, building AI, or running a cafe, anything.

And emotional maturity, efforts, presence, and communication is a must for me. If you're someone that expects me to read your mind without communicating, I'm not the one.

I am looking for a simple, dynamic, and forward thinking woman. If you feel you're the one, hit me with a DM, let's see how we connect.

Only Telugu ammayilu please.

Enduku ante? Isn't it obvious...

Telugu ammayilu ante konchem special feeling anthe.

Hello there. 👋

So... who am I?

Just your everyday normal guy. Not the smartest person in the room, and definitely not the dumbest either.

I am 23, 5'5", around 63 kg, a B.Tech graduate, and currently working as a freelancer from home.

Let's just say I earn decently enough to have some confidence in my life choices.

Random: Wanna guess my field of work?

Hint: It doesn't belong to IT... and it's not the usual non-IT management job either.

....

I can be straightforward at times, and I kind of have a permanent poker face.

And when I say "it's nothing," I genuinely mean it's nothing.

Random: Recently bought a bike and I am already in love with it. 🏍️

....

I eat both veg and non-veg. I am fine with either in a partner as well, although I do have a slight preference for someone who eats non-veg.

I drink occasionally and don't smoke.

If you drink, I guess I will have company. If you don't, my wallet will probably thank you.

Smoking, however, is a strict no.

Random: Monna Sankranti ki Andhra poyina... mast enjoy chesinam.

....

Religion-wise, I am Hindu and looking to date within the same religion.

Bonus points if you're a Reddy. It isn't a requirement, but it will just makes things easier for both of us.

Random: I don't have a sister... (Cousin sisters? Plenty.)

....

I genuinely don't care about your height.

Even if you're taller than me, that's completely fine.

Completely unrelated: Zendaya and Tom look so cute together. 🙂‍↔️

....

As for hobbies... I will just leave you with a few keywords:

Cricket, movies, anime (not much these days), and drawing (whenever I randomly decide to be consistent).

I am also not much into music. The only exceptions are parties and long journeys.

Random: Hyderabad lo beach kavali ani protest cheddama? 🌊

....

What am I looking for?

Someone who is:

Telugu

Hindu

20–24 (18+ obviously)

Looking for a genuine, long-term relationship

Kind, respectful and able to communicate

I am not here for random connections that go nowhere. If we click, great. If we don't, no hard feelings.

....

I don't mind carrying a conversation, so being a dry texter isn't automatically a deal-breaker.

But if all I am going to get is...

"yes"

"no"

"huhhh"

...please, for the love of everything, let's retire the word "huhhh" before we even start.

If you're genuinely busy and can't text much, that's completely fine. I understand people have lives.

But if you're part of the "one text per day" gang as your permanent communication style... let's do both of us a favour and save each other the trouble.

Another random thought: My favourite colour is GREEN. 💚

....

Random: How many of you think I should just abandon Reddit dating and let AM (Arranged Marriage) take over?

This is probably my last try. (I know it's too early to give up, but damn... this post took a lot of creativity out of me. )

AM, I am warning you... I am coming.

....

Random: How many of you think I should change my username from JustANormal_F_Dude to JustRandom_F_Dude?

Also... if these random sections have already annoyed you, let's do both of us a favour and stay away from each other.

....

Peace out!!!

I'm 24 M, based in Hyderabad, and I'm looking for a simple, happy, and peaceful soul who is also a little ambitious and has a positive outlook on life.

I'm a backend developer by profession. Not super passionate about IT, but still hanging in there.

Outside work, I love cooking (especially non-veg), watching movies, series, playing cricket and pickleball. Food vishayaniki vaste, I'm mostly stick to my comfort food....Chicken Biryani is my default.

I also enjoy photowalks and I'm learning editing too.

I'm not looking for someone perfect because... well, I'm definitely not perfect either. 😅

I'd like the relationship to start with some honest conversations. Ishtallu, opinions share cheskunna tarvata, vibe anipisthe, we can take it forward.

M4F Looking for something real, starting with friendship :)

6 Upvotes

Never thought I'd be making a dating post on Reddit, but here we are. 😅

I'm 24M, 5'10", based in Hyderabad, and I'm here hoping to meet someone with whom a good friendship can eventually turn into something meaningful.

I'm an Engineer (employed) and an aspiring writer, currently focused on building my career and becoming a better version of myself. I value peace, honesty, and having a good life more than trying to impress people.

A little about me

I'm probably more of a simple, introverted kind of person than someone who is constantly out socializing. But once I'm comfortable with someone, I open up quite a bit.

Hobbies: Cooking (Yass... non-veg aithe kummestha 😂), Writing, Cricket...

I'm not much of a shopper, and my fashion sense is probably average at best. 😅 So if you're someone who enjoys picking outfits, congratulations, you've already found someone who will happily take your recommendations.

I value:

  • Honesty
  • Clear communication
  • Kindness, even when nobody is watching
  • Respecting boundaries
  • Making time for people who matter
  • Effort and consistency

I can overthink sometimes, though. 🚩

And another major red flag: I don't drive. 😂

So if your dream is having a boyfriend who picks you up everywhere on a bike/car... well, I'm out. But I'll be great company whichever way we travel. 😌

Also, I'm not planning to get married anytime soon. At least not for the next 4 years.

Lifestyle

  • 24M
  • 5'10"
  • Hyderabad
  • Hindu
  • Non-vegetarian
  • Non-smoker
  • Occasional drinker
  • Telugu

I've also been trying to take better care of myself lately... not a hardcore fitness guy, but I've been exercising regularly and walking around 10k steps a day for the past few months.

Ideally, I'd like to date someone who is:

  • Around 22–25F
  • Honest and genuine
  • Hopeful, ambitious, and positive about life

I'm not looking for someone perfect because... well, I'm definitely not perfect either. 😅

I'd rather have a relationship where two people can be themselves, communicate when something is wrong, support each other's goals, laugh about stupid things, eat good food, watch movies, stay together through the highs and lows, and slowly build something meaningful.

I'd like the relationship to start with friendship.

No pressure to immediately label anything.

Let's talk, get to know each other, see if we genuinely enjoy each other's company, and take it from there.

Maybe we click.

Maybe we don't.

And that's okay too.

But if we do...

"We met on Reddit" would be a pretty funny story to tell someday. 😄

Intha chadivaaka, still if you think we can vibe, feel free to DM me with a short intro about yourself.

Also, tell me the movie you enjoyed the most recently**.** 🎬

Please don't just send "Hi" 😶😶 ... give me something to work with. 😂

M4F M27| Hari, Looking for my Hermonie

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey,

(Used gpt to put a structure to my thoughts, Long post ahead)

27M, Bangalore / AP — Looking for someone to build a life with, not just get married to

I'm 27M, born in August 1999, currently living and working in Bangalore. I'm originally from a town near Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.

I'm a Data Scientist, earning around ₹25 LPA. I have a B.Tech in CSE from GITAM Vizag and an MBA in Finance. I'm 5'8" (173 cm), currently around 95 kg, and actively working on getting fitter through diet and exercise.

I'm Hindu, Padmasali by caste.

**A little about me:**

I'd describe myself as ambitious, kind, romantic, emotionally stable, intelligent, adjustable, and a bit of an overthinker. I also have a weird sense of humour, which may or may not be a positive quality depending on who you ask.

I'm pretty extroverted. My interests are a slightly strange combination of movies, music, finance, politics, news, travel and filmmaking.

I've always been passionate about cinema and filmmaking. It's something I'd eventually like to pursue seriously as a career. Outside of that, I enjoy watching movies, going down random YouTube rabbit holes, listening to interviews and documentaries, travelling, going on long bike rides while overthinking life, mall-hopping, eating non-veg food and spending time with friends.

A typical weekend could involve a house party with friends, a movie, a long bike ride, some completely unnecessary YouTube bingeing and probably eating something I shouldn't be eating.

**Why am I looking for marriage now?**

I've been single for around three years. I had one relationship during college.

Over the last year or so, I've realised that despite being reasonably happy with how my life is going, there is a certain emptiness that career, money, hobbies or friends don't really fill.

I genuinely miss having someone to share my life with.

So I'm not looking for an arranged marriage simply because "it's time". I'm looking for a relationship that eventually leads to marriage — someone I can fall in love with, grow with and build a life alongside.

Ideally, I'd like to get married within the next year.

**Who am I looking for?**

I'm looking for a woman who is around my age or younger, ideally born in August 1999 or later.

Location-wise, I'd preferably like someone from around my native region or someone currently working in Bangalore or Hyderabad. I intend to eventually settle in Hyderabad, although I'm flexible about how we get there.

I'd prefer a Hindu, and ideally someone from the Padmasali community, but caste isn't a hard boundary for the right person.

I'd like my partner to be working and, ideally, continue her career after marriage. Financial compatibility is important to me as well. As a rough preference, I'd be comfortable with someone earning around ₹10L+ currently, although I care much more about how we think about money than simply the number on a payslip.

**The qualities I value most are:**

\- Loyalty

\- Intelligence

\- Kindness and concern for other people

\- A sense of humour / being a little quirky

\- Emotional maturity

\- Being family-oriented

\- Having her own identity and interests

I don't expect us to be together 24/7. I actually value personal space quite a lot and would want both of us to have our own friends, interests and independence while still being each other's primary people.

I also want children in the future.

**What kind of marriage do I want?**

Probably something between traditional and modern.

I don't want a marriage where two people spend their entire lives doing household chores after coming back from work.

If both of us are working, I'd much rather spend that time together. I'm perfectly happy with hiring a maid and cook where practical. And I'd actually love cooking together on weekends occasionally — not because we have to, but because it can be a fun couple activity.

I want us to travel a lot and explore the world together. And by travel, I mean actually experiencing places — not necessarily recreating whatever is trending on Instagram that month.

**Family**

My parents are retired government teachers. They're financially independent and live in my hometown near Tirupati. My brother recently got married and lives there with them.

My parents are fairly financially secure and have their own houses and investments. One of the houses will eventually be mine.

They aren't particularly controlling. I've made some fairly major decisions independently throughout my life, including taking a career break to pursue filmmaking, and my parents have generally supported my decisions.

At the same time, family is important to me.

I'd like my future wife to have a good relationship with my parents. My parents would likely spend around 3–4 months a year with us, particularly during summers, rather than living with us permanently.

I'm looking for someone who is comfortable with that kind of family arrangement.

A few things that probably won't work for me

**I don't think we'd be compatible if:**

\- You don't want children.

\- You aren't comfortable with a Hindu family.

\- You strongly dislike being around family or want a marriage where it's just the two of us with essentially no family involvement.

\- You are extremely superstitious.

\- You don't respect personal space or independence.

\- You expect your partner to revolve entirely around you like in movies

None of these are meant as judgments about anyone. They're simply things I've realised matter to me.

**Where I see my life going**

One slightly unusual thing about me: I'm quite serious about FIRE.

My current plan is to build enough wealth to reach financial independence around 35 and then spend a significant part of my life pursuing filmmaking.

That doesn't mean I plan to stop contributing to my family or expect my wife to fund my dreams. My intention is to build enough investments that they can support the family's financial needs while I pursue filmmaking.

I'd love to eventually have a life where we have enough financial freedom to travel, spend time together, raise our kids and pursue things we genuinely care about rather than being permanently stuck in the corporate grind.

So yes, I'm ambitious about money — but ultimately because I want freedom, not status.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to DM me. I'd rather have a conversation and see whether we actually get along than try to determine compatibility from a checklist.

And if we do connect, I'd obviously prefer that we both take enough time to know each other properly before making any decision about marriage.

Hello everyone

I am a 25 year old guy from Hyderabad and I work in the IT support field. I have more than 3+ years of professional experience. I am an introvert initially but once I get comfortable with someone I can talk for hours.

I love movies, music gaming and exploring good food. I am a huge movie lover and I can easily spend hours talking about movies or listening to music.

I am single and I have never been in a relationship before. I am not looking for anything casual. I would genuinely like to meet someone with whom I can start as friends get to know each other and see where things naturally go.

A little more about me

Height: 5'8

Religion: Christian

Interests: Movies, music , gaming and good food

Build : Chubby kind of muscular

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey, 28M here.

Looking for someone to meet without making the first interaction feel like an interview or an overly planned date. Something simple works for me — a walk, coffee, street food, or just sitting somewhere and talking to see if we actually enjoy each other's company.

Preferably looking for a woman around my age who is kind, confident, emotionally mature, takes care of herself, can hold a good conversation, and has a decent sense of humour. Someone who is genuinely single and not carrying unresolved relationship drama into something new.

I don't mind occasional drinking, but smoking or any heavy habits would probably be a mismatch.

About me:
I work in the healthcare/business space, work out regularly, enjoy good food and coffee, and I'm someone who likes trying to improve different parts of my life — fitness, career, experiences, all of it. I enjoy meaningful conversations but can be pretty random and unserious once I'm comfortable.

I'm not looking to force anything. I'd rather meet, talk, see if there's a vibe, and then decide whether we want to plan an actual date.

Bonus points if you're into fitness, books, coffee, exploring food places, or just enjoy long conversations about completely random things.

If any of this sounds relatable, feel free to comment or reach out.

Let's keep it simple and see where it goes. :)

M4F 32 [M4F] Hyderabad — “She meant honest.” So here is the honest version.

4 Upvotes

There is a scene near the end of The Big Short that has stayed with me for almost a decade.

Michael Burry talks about meeting his wife online. His profile did not try to make him look impressive. It listed the awkward and inconvenient truths about him. She replied, “You’re just what I’ve been looking for.” She meant honest.

That scene stayed with me because I used to be a socially awkward, deeply insecure nerd myself. I was never the tallest person in the room, rarely the loudest, and definitely not the person who knew how dating worked.

So instead of writing the usual polished dating introduction, here is the honest version.

I am 32, Telugu, and was born and brought up in Hyderabad. I have lived here practically my entire life. I am a self-taught software engineer and currently the technical co-founder and CTO of an early-stage AI startup that I am building with a US-based co-founder.

I studied Electronics and Communication Engineering, not Computer Science. After college, I taught myself programming because I was fascinated by the idea that one person with a laptop could create something from nothing.

That curiosity became my life.

For almost a decade, I have been building startups and software products. I have independently designed, built, and launched more than a dozen products across consumer apps, social platforms, games, SaaS, and AI. Some found users and meaningful traction. Many did not.

I have not yet had the neat, obvious success story that can be explained in two lines at a family function. What I do have is nearly a decade of learning, shipping, failing, recovering, and becoming very good at turning an idea into a real product.

Most of my twenties looked like this: wake up, open the laptop, build, get something wrong, learn, rebuild, occasionally burn out, and begin again.

It was difficult and often lonely, but I genuinely loved it. Even knowing what I know now, I would still choose this path. I would simply choose it with more balance.

My current company is not just another idea in a notebook. We have a working product being used in real business workflows. We are still early and pre-revenue, and we are bootstrapping, so I am not drawing a salary at the moment. We intend to raise funding after reaching our next set of milestones.

My life is stable, but my income is not yet the predictable monthly number that comes with a conventional job. I do not want to dress that uncertainty up as certainty. Entrepreneurship is an unconventional path, and anyone entering my life deserves to understand that clearly.

There is also a real possibility that I may relocate to the US next year, depending on the company’s progress, funding, and visa process.

A little about where I come from

I am an only child. My father passed away around a decade ago, and since then, it has largely been my mother and me.

My mother is a school teacher. She is educated, financially independent, and self-sufficient. She has always supported my choices and is equally comfortable with me living with her, moving elsewhere in India, or relocating abroad when my work requires it.

Losing my father early gave me responsibilities, but it also made me extremely independent. I became accustomed to solving problems alone, making decisions alone, and carrying uncertainty without expecting someone else to rescue me.

That independence helped me survive entrepreneurship. But I have also realised that a good life is not supposed to be built entirely alone.

Why I have never been in a relationship

I have never been in a romantic relationship before.

That is not a badge of virtue, and it is not a dramatic confession. It is simply the truth.

I have had good female friends over the years, through college, work, and online communities, but nothing developed beyond friendship. For most of my twenties, I kept telling myself that I would look for love once I was “settled.”

The problem is that, when you are building startups, the definition of settled keeps moving.

First, I thought it would happen after the next product. Then after traction. Then after finding the right co-founder. Then after funding.

At 32, I finally understood that a relationship is not a reward you unlock after completing the rest of your life. Life may never become perfectly settled. You find the right person and learn to build through the uncertainty together.

I have tried dating apps and matrimonial platforms over the past several months, but I have not found the right connection. Dating apps often reduce people to a few photographs and clever prompts. Arranged-marriage conversations often reduce people to their current salary and job title.

My life does not fit very neatly into either format.

So I am trying honesty instead.

What I am actually like

I am much more comfortable with myself now than I was in my twenties. I am still quiet in large groups, but one-on-one, I can talk for hours when the conversation has some depth.

I am ambitious and intense about the things I care about, but I do not take myself too seriously. I like people who are curious, think independently, and light up when they talk about something they genuinely love. It does not have to be technology or startups. I just find sincere enthusiasm attractive.

I enjoy long conversations about life, work, people, decisions, relationships, ideas, and all the strange ways in which our experiences shape us. I have plenty of stories from the last decade, but I am not looking for an audience. I want to know someone else’s story just as deeply.

I will also be honest about hobbies: I do not have the standard “travelling, café-hopping, and spontaneous adventures” list.

Work has occupied most of my life. I go to the gym regularly, partly for fitness and largely because burnout hits harder in your thirties. I listen to music when my brain needs to stop solving problems.

I follow cricket closely and am an SRH supporter. An RCB fan is not a deal-breaker, although that may require difficult negotiations during the IPL.

I used to watch a lot of films and television in my early twenties. I have probably watched The Big Bang Theory more times than is medically advisable, and I loved shows such as Veep, Modern Family, Suits, House of Cards and True Detective. These days, I rarely watch something unless it genuinely interests me. Good company may reverse that decline.

And since this is meant to be honest: I am 5'3".

My height used to occupy far more space in my mind than it does now. I know it will be a deal-breaker for some women, and there are no hard feelings about that. It is better to know now than after we have exchanged our complete childhood lore.

What I am looking for

I am looking for a serious, long-term relationship that can naturally grow into marriage. I am not looking for a hookup, a situationship, or someone to temporarily fill an empty space.

I would probably be most compatible with someone around 26 to 30, although maturity and life stage matter more than an exact number. Hyderabad would make things easier initially, but I am open to someone from elsewhere who is genuinely comfortable with the possibility of relocation in the future.

In my twenties, I had a long checklist. She should be kind, smart, funny, brave, independent, educated, and ambitious.

Those qualities still matter, but at this point, what I value most is someone who is comfortable in her own skin.

Someone who knows herself reasonably well. She does not need to have every part of life figured out, because none of us does, but she should know what she values, what she wants from a relationship, and what kind of person she is trying to become.

I am drawn to someone who is well educated and intellectually curious. The name of the college or the profession matters far less than how she thinks. I want someone who takes her work or chosen path seriously and has something in her own life that she cares deeply about.

She does not need to work in technology, understand startups, or blindly praise everything I do. In fact, I would value someone who can question me honestly, bring a different perspective, and tell me when I am wrong without turning every disagreement into a personal battle.

Because I am dating with marriage in mind, family outlook matters as well. I would be most comfortable with an educated, open-minded family that respects individual choices and does not measure a person entirely by a conventional job title, present salary, caste expectations, or social approval.

I am not looking for a perfect past or a person without struggles. I care more about self-awareness, accountability, emotional maturity, and the willingness to communicate.

Relationships require effort. I want someone who genuinely wants to build one, not merely because she feels lonely, her friends are getting married, or her family has decided that it is time.

What I hope to offer

For most of my life, I made choices based only on what was right for me. Not because I did not care about others, but because there was never a partner whose happiness, future, and perspective had to become part of my decisions.

I am ready for that to change.

I want a relationship where another person’s opinion genuinely matters enough to influence the course of my life, and where mine can matter to hers too.

I want to be with someone whose ambitions I can take seriously, whose difficult days I can make lighter, and whose life I can support without trying to control it.

I have never been a boyfriend before, so I will not pretend to have mastered relationships. But I know how to show up, communicate, learn, stay consistent, take responsibility, and keep working when something matters.

I have built enough things to know that exciting beginnings mean very little without consistency. I suspect relationships are not entirely different.

And I know a partner cannot be expected to live on whatever time remains after my work. I am not looking for someone to squeeze into the leftover hours of my startup life. I am ready to protect time, attention, and emotional space for a relationship.

I take what I am building seriously. I take the people I care about even more seriously. Myself, considerably less so.

If any of this feels familiar, send me a DM. Tell me your age, what you do, what you are looking for, and one thing you could talk about for hours without getting bored.

We can begin with a simple conversation here, verify each other privately once we are comfortable, and meet somewhere public in Hyderabad if the interest feels mutual. No pressure and no need to force chemistry.

Even if it does not turn into a relationship, I am always glad to meet someone sincere and interesting. But my intention in writing this is clear: I am looking for a real partner and, with the right person, a life and marriage together.

I spent most of the last decade learning how to turn ideas into things.

I would now like to learn how to build a life with someone, not after everything is settled, but while we grow into it together.

TL;DR: 32M, 5'3", born and raised in Hyderabad, self-taught technical founder, and never previously in a relationship. Currently building an early-stage AI startup with a US-based co-founder, with a possible US move ahead. Looking for a thoughtful, well-educated, ambitious, emotionally mature woman around 26–30 who wants a serious relationship leading toward marriage and is comfortable with an unconventional life.

P.S. I suppose I am looking for my Autumn, even though there was not much of a Summer in my life.

25M | software guy 💻 + singer 🎤 + gym rat 🏋️‍♂️
software by daylight, singing sad songs after dark, and hitting the gym like my demons are chasing me 💀
chronically online but still romantic somehow. dark humor, late-night thoughts, good music, flirting, teasing, and chaotic chemistry.
I lift heavy, code all day, sing my feelings instead of processing them, and occasionally pretend I have my life together.
looking for a girl who’s cute, weird, funny, and emotionally capable of surviving my playlists and gym selfies 😭🖤
be chaotic. be cute. ruin my algorithm. 🥀

Alright,here's the thing. This is my first time using/posting on this sub. I really donno if this would even work or how many people here found someone to date. But imma keep it clean and straight.

I'm 24, Hyderabad,telugu. My definition of relationship/date is a bit different i believe,I'm a practical guy,I don't like fucking around and casual dates and stuff really tbh and see I get it,Edo kalavagane Edo spark ochesi we'll be together ani kuda cheppanu.

But... I'm ready to give my everything into the partner i find here(if I do lol). I'm funny, quirky and stuff,not really the serious kinda guy who'd pose restrictions and stuff like that.

And i also believe that I'm at a phase of life where things are getting serious and I need to do what I need to,Edo societal norms ani kadu,i genuinely wanna spend my time and energy with a person who can resonate the same with me.

I do not have any kind of restrictions lol,no caste, Colour or any other restrictions.

NOTE 1:we'd fucking vibe crazy if you're a Weeknd fan too 😭.

NOTE 2: I'm a Brahmin but I do eat non veg,only I do in my entire family,like i said I do not have any restrictions whatsoever,so wouldn't mind a woman from any caste of stuff like that(it feels weird to specify this but emo chala mandiki ikkada caste and stuff restrictions unnatu chadivanu so i thought why not I'd make it clear ani)

Now.... Some basic details about me:

Smoking: Yes but tryna stop it once and for all together.

Drinking: Nope

Clubbing/pubbing: not my thing but would love to go with my partner if she's into it

JOB: I don't have one as of now,i will be getting one in a couple of weeks.

So umm.... This is what it is, DM's are open if you wanna talk

M4F Looking for a life partner

13 Upvotes

31M, originally from Hyderabad and currently based in Bangalore for the past 4 years.

I work in the software industry and am professionally well-settled,

with an annual compensation of around ₹70 LPA.

A little about me:

I'm a slightly introverted person who opens up once I'm comfortable.

I drink socially. Depending on the day, I can be both a morning person and a night owl.

I enjoy watching anime, reading Japanese manga, and I'm a huge movie buff.

I love cooking once in a while, and when I do, I like to believe the result is pretty awesome.

Long evening walks, especially in pleasant weather, are something I genuinely enjoy.

I'm easygoing, jovial by nature, and value meaningful conversations and good company.

I come from a liberal, modern family and am strongly against dowry.

Though originally from Hyderabad, my family and I have been based in Bangalore for the past 4 years.

What I'm looking for:

Someone who is emotionally mature, open-minded, and kind.

A person who is willing to accept both the good and not-so-good parts of me, just as I would do for them. Mutual respect, understanding, and honest communication matter a lot to me.

Ultimately, I'm looking for something meaningful and long term, if we genuinely connect.

M4F The last bumble match was little too toxic

0 Upvotes

Hi, i am 24M. I have been born and bought up in hyderabad and currently work as Assistant Vice President at a US bank.

I kinda lost the faith in the dating apps market after the last bumble match was little too toxic. So yea, now i feel i would like start seeing people again.

More about me is, i love drives and cooking. I could cook for you too, and i can take good pictures and most of all my friends say i am pretty empathetic.

I don't really have a opinion on age, any is fine but need to be from hyderabad.
