Elijah A.

50 y/o

Running

I do IT support for a hospital system — not glamorous but steady. After work I'm at the gym or trying a new recipe. I'm a decent cook, I swear.

Miguel C.

67 y/o

Traveling

Spent 25 years in local journalism and now I write a small neighborhood blog that maybe 200 people read. Looking for someone curious about the world and their own backyard.

Diego L.

74 y/o

Literature

I've got a model train setup in the basement I've been building for about fifteen years. Looking for someone who has a hobby they love that much, whatever it happens to be.

Avraham Z.

19 y/o

Board Games

I do HVAC installation and repair, mostly commercial buildings. I've got strong opinions about airflow and zero opinions about interior decorating. My apartment definitely shows it.

Zev I.

28 y/o

Podcasts

I work as a respiratory therapist in the ICU. Long shifts, but I really like the work. Off days I'm hiking, meal prepping for the week, and getting way too into crossword puzzles.

DeAndre L.

46 y/o

Cooking

High school football coach and math teacher. Fridays are game nights, the stadium kind — looking for someone okay with that and free the rest of the weekend.

Nasir H.

41 y/o

Board Games

I do commercial roofing and I'm proud of it. My weekends are mine and I usually spend them fishing or watching NASCAR. Looking for someone who keeps it real.

Andre S.

75 y/o

Movies

I bike about 15 miles a few mornings a week and feel pretty good about it. Looking for someone active who also knows how to relax on a Sunday afternoon.

Stephen V.

49 y/o

Hiking

I work as a building superintendent for an apartment complex. In my downtime I restore old motorcycles — got three in the garage right now. Looking for someone patient with a messy hobby.

Walid D.

49 y/o

Concerts

Sous chef who worked his way up from the line — I work late but I'm weirdly chipper in the mornings. Looking for someone who's awake by 7am and down for a big breakfast.

Jacob L.

29 y/o

Museums

I'm an EMT working on my paramedic certification. When I'm not studying I'm either at the gym, watching MMA, or making a really solid playlist for a road trip I haven't planned yet.

Tuvia B.

19 y/o

Traveling

Automotive technician who actually enjoys his job, which feels rare. I spend evenings restoring a '72 Chevy pickup in my garage and I'm completely fine spending a Saturday doing that.

Satoshi X.

61 y/o

Art

Retired high school history teacher, which means I have opinions and I'm not shy about sharing them. Looking for someone who can push back a little and still laugh about it over dinner.

Chaim T.

75 y/o

Wine Tasting

I flew commercial airlines for 30 years and now putter around in a small Cessna on weekends when the weather's right. Looking for someone okay with a little spontaneity and an open schedule.

Latif A.

75 y/o

Literature

Managed a hardware store for 25 years before retiring and I still can't walk through a home improvement aisle without stopping. Looking for someone patient and good-natured who finds that charming.

Tyrell N.

60 y/o

Traveling

I still volunteer with the local fire department at community events and fundraisers. Looking for someone involved in their community who values that in a partner too.

Kelvin E.

22 y/o

Road Trips

UX designer who spends too much time thinking about why apps are confusing and not enough time cleaning his apartment. I'm working on it. Mostly the app thing.

Yisrael D.

35 y/o

Concerts

Office manager at a dental practice, so I'm organized to a fault. I'm also into cycling, local live music, and the kind of Sunday that doesn't require an alarm.

Luis O.

30 y/o

Hiking

Speech therapist with a soft spot for bad puns — occupational hazard. Looking for someone who laughs at them even when they're terrible.

Andrew P.

43 y/o

Photography

Refrigeration technician — commercial stuff. On my time off I'm coaching youth basketball or watching old films. Looking for someone genuine who doesn't take herself too seriously.

Rafael L.

75 y/o

Museums

I'm in a bowling league on Thursday nights and I take it more seriously than I probably should. Looking for someone with their own routine they care about who wants to respect mine too.
