On weekends, I’m cooking with friends, at galleries, doing yoga, or taking walks with my mini-dachshund, Fig. You’re kind, curious, devoted, emotionally attuned, and you make me laugh. Accents are a plus (as are big arms … and maybe a few tattoos are also encouraged). I believe love is why I’m here. What about you? [email protected]
ROMANTIC (BUT NOT HOPELESS) Asian 38M seeking 29–45F interested in a DINK lifestyle. Cali native turned East Coaster — I'm here to stay.

I’m a regular solo traveler but would love to share a meal with you at a sidewalk café in Europe. For now, let’s get a drink in a dark bar and flirt. [email protected]

STUNNING BLUE-HAIRED FEMME lesbian, 34, NYC, seeks butch who reads. I’m a successful novelist, a community organizer, and a little bit goth. I like dark curly hair, a sense of irony, and brains to go with the brawn. Top4top, ideally, but we can discuss it.

TAKE ME AWAY Me: hot but not pretty, smart but not a snob, serious but not tortured, fierce but not mean, resourced and resourceful. Butch-ish dyke, 35F, East Coast, with the interests of a stereotypical gay guy (Drag Race, pop divas, Tom of Finland aesthetic). Annoyingly analog. Will walk anywhere.
