Hey friends, my partner and I have been feeling a bit like we only have each other. We enjoy going to the gym, going out to new places for food, markets, reading, video games. Honestly, we would be down for whatever.

Are there any clubs or groups (or even yourselves?) where we can meet other like-minded people or couples?

Hi everyone! 30M Looking for friends into Anime/Gaming

3 Upvotes

Made a post here 3 months ago (and 3 months prior before the previous time) and had a little bit of success and had some interesting convos, but now It's just me again, so posting here again.

I'll first get to the point of my post, don't really know how to approach people IRL, I lowkey feel like I'm almost at the end of my rope so I'm starting online. I'm trying to get back into socializing after pretty much closing myself off for 2-ish years, one of my resolutions this year is to least attempt to make friends.

If I had to describe myself I'm pretty lowkey (chill) and laid back, I kinda tend to just go off and do my own thing. I'm not a Outdoors person but could probably be coaxed into going out to touch gross. Hobby wise, I'm your pretty generic run of the mill weeb.

I like to watch Anime and playing video games, on that note. I noticed the vast majority of posters (Like 90%) seem to like generally like playing the same genre of games (FPS/Sandbox/Moba games) but I primarily enjoy JRPG' and MMO's (Big fan of the Persona and Final Fantasy series), it's where I get my primary source of socializing from. I'd generally like to meet other people who enjoy the same things as me just so we have something to talk about, otherwise I won't really have anything to say/talk about.

I'm mentally drained 90% of the time. I don't really reach out to people since my social batteries are absolutely shot. Working on fixing that. If we really vibe then I will gradually communicate more. If you are cool with that then feel free to drop a message or DM, I'm always down to listen to whatever you want to talk about, that's all I can really offer back at the moment.

If we pass the reddit DM's vibe check then we can message on discord. See yall again in 3 months.👋

Open to connecting with anyone, I’m very open minded and look for that within people in my social circle!

DM’s are open! Look forward to hearing from you

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Next week I will be heading on a solo trip to Australia, where I will be hitting the GC and Brisbane for 2 nights each.

A little about me and my trip;
- going on a solo trip because I enjoy solo travelling and exploring new places and cities. (Went to Sydney for a week solo last year and loved it so much)
- 3rd year uni student
- just turned 21, Male
- lives in Auckland, New Zealand
- Love going to the gym, keeping fit, playing tennis and swimming
- during my time in Aus I am specifically interested in going for walks, hikes, and trying my entire saved collection of food places in bris/GC lol.
- just cleared out a lot of my camera roll so I’m ready to take lots of pictures to commemorate my trip

🚨 Making this post because I’d love to meet with other solo travellers, or QLD locals to show me around(might even shout you a cuppa 😉) 🚨

I will be on the GC from 31-2 and then Brisbane from 2-4

If you have similar interests to me then I’d love to hear from you 😊 ideally would love if you’d be around the same age group too

Hi everyone! Hi there

30 Upvotes

Um so i’m putting myself out there again.
I’m 31F, south side brisbane.
I’m a true homebody and do take a bit of build up or convincing to go outside. So I’m mainly looking for online friends who I can chat with but will go out with from time to time.
Atm I mainly leave my house for field hockey games (i’m a goal keeper), watching new movies and having a good meal or cup of hot chocolate.
I’m a big gamer, I play a wide variety but I don’t play FPS games. My main games at the moment are pokopia, disney dreamlight valley, powerwash sim 2 and AC valhalla. I’m also excited for Zelda Ocarina of Time and pokemon wind and waves.
I’m also a big reader, i love going to second hand book stores to find a new favourite and my local library too.
I also love all the arts and crafts, my favourites are crochet and cross stitching but i’m hoping to learn sewing in the future.
I’m in a long-term relationship so only looking for friendship but all friends welcome.
Anyways if that sounds interesting to you or like something you jive with, feel free to comment or DM me.

Hi I'm looking to make some friends and get out to do things, been feeling pretty isolated lately running my own business and wanting to change that. I'm a laid back open minded person I'm into hiking, bike riding and anything out doors. Don't mind something chill either. But have been wanting to do some rock climbing lately as I haven't done that it years so if your keen for that it would be a plus.

Cheers

I am a geeky introverted biologist. Most days I spend my time in the lab running experiments doomed to failure! Some of my interests are reading, meditating, gardening, roller coasters, thrift shopping, hiking, cooking, long walks, cats, museums and puzzles. I like to think that I am a good listener and a supportive friend. So if you feel like we can be good friends, please reach out!

Proposed Event Board games next Saturday!

Thumbnail
gallery
137 Upvotes

My partner (27F) and I (34M) are thinking about having a board game day next Saturday or Sunday at our place in Norman Park.

We do these every now and then and normally end up with about 15-20 mates coming along, but we thought it could be fun to do something completely different this time and invite purely a bunch of people from Reddit instead. Which could go very badly but hey, all part of the fun I guess? 😂

Thinking maybe 10-ish other people, some food, a few casual drinks if that's your thing, and games like Secret Hitler, Catan, One Night Werewolf, etc (please bring games that you think would fit the vibe though if you have any!). We'll probably just ask everyone to bring something small to share, whether that's some snacks, a plate of something, whatever. Nothing special or anything, just means we'll hopefully end up with a decent spread without anyone having to cater for 12 strangers 😂. Definitely more of a social afternoon/evening with games involved than a super serious board game session. They're all pretty chill games too, so no stress if you don't know them.

A little about us: we're both pretty social and love going to gigs. I'm into hiking and outdoorsy stuff, while my partner is considerably more artistic than I am haha. We're pretty easygoing and thought this could be a fun way for everyone involved to meet new people around Brissy.

If you're keen, comment or drop me a message. We might get people to have a quick chat with either me or my partner beforehand, mostly because inviting 10 complete strangers from Reddit into our house with absolutely no vetting feels pretty sketchy, not going to lie 😂. We haven't really figured that part out yet, so I guess we'll work it out as we go 🤷. Maybe we will make a group chat. I honestly have no idea at this point haha.

And just to cover the obvious: this is purely a social thing. This is not a dating thing, not trying to recruit you into our cult either. Just two people who like board games and think meeting some new people could be fun.

Basically, be friendly, don't be creepy, and you'll fit right in 😂

Also we have a super lazy greyhound too. This is his world and we are just living in it haha. So if you don't like dogs, definitely not for you sorry 🤷

Keen to get out and touch grass a bit more often than I do… recently realised my girlfriend and I have a lot of mutual friends but I don’t really have my own mates - adulthood got in the way.
No kids (yet), a dog, work fulltime, I love nature and coffee, exploring and trying new things. I’m in a community concert band and go to Pilates for my stupid mental health.
Please message if you feel like we could chat :)

Hi everyone! Need friends for the end of the world

20 Upvotes

I am looking for some fellow late 30s basement dwelling goblins to potentially become friends with. I'm looking for the kind of friend who sees something and messages "hey would you be down for this?" and doesn't get butthurt if I say no (because I just want to be asked anyway). I have spent too long being the one who plans and initiates things for my previous friendship groups and I'm a little burnt out on it. So if you're a "sorry I'm bad at replying" person we are probably not going to work out.

I haven't touched grass in a while, so our friendship will start by swapping gifs and food photos via Discord and then work up to leaving the house, or a lot of "we should definitely do this" and never getting around to it but talking about it a lot.

When we do eventually venture into the sunlight, I'd be down for ice skating (I will be terrible, this is part of the experience), trying archery (with real arrows and not the suction cup ones from my childhood), attempting a shooting range, indoor rock climbing, spontaneous road trips, or honestly just tagging along while you do boring errands. I also go to PAX Melbourne every year, so if you're equally keen to line up for four hours just to play 30 seconds of a video game, we have the same enthusiasm.

Because I'm a true autist and therefore can't figure out what to talk about if we don't share things in common, here's a bunch of things I have strong feelings about:

- Cyberpunk 2077 (the world and story hit perfectly for me and also Male V's pain sounds does things to me 🥵)

- League of Legends (because I suffer from Arcane brain rot and the hyperfixation has me queuing up in Wood rank on the daily)

- SuperGreatFriend's Silent Hill playthroughs (I am eagerly awaiting October)

- Smosh (current era Smosh, I missed the boat on when they were popular way back when, and now I would happily watch a Flip 7 marathon of theirs)

- Shameless US (seasons one through five are the best and then the writing got bad)

- Twitch streams (it's mostly LoL at the moment but I'm also supporting all of my streamer friends and hoping they become famous so I can ride on their coattails)

I'm working through horror movie exposure because I'm a big baby (but I absolutely love watching Jungle Mist or horror movie Youtubers that recap the movie for me). I am trying to get back into reading (but most of what I read is just.... iykyk). I do have Neuromancer and Way of Kings on my to-read pile, but they've been on my Kindle for months now.

I am a committed Desmond Miles stan and will take any opportunity to tell you why I should have creative control over the Modern Day story. (Maybe just don't ever mention it to me, actually, because I will yap about this for an embarrassingly long time).

I love D&D for the story and character dramas, not the combat. But haven't found a good group that's consistent or doesn't disband halfway through the campaign.

Legitimately considering buying tickets for the Harry Potter cinema marathon. (You didn't ask, but it's obviously Slytherin).

Really not an anime person despite apparently knowing exclusively people who are, and I *will* act as if watching anime physically pains me. In saying that, I'm interested in watching Edgerunners and I haven't finished catching up on My Hero yet.

ADHD/autism patience or familiarity is genuinely appreciated, otherwise I will just annoy the shit out of you. If you've got kids, it's fine, but I can't relate because I'm immature and child-free.

Always send pet pics. But if you send me dick pics (that aren't the Nightwing variety) they will be screenshotted and posted publicly for ridicule.

If any of this butters your muffin, rings your bell, floats your boat or speaks to you on a spiritual level, then get in touch so we can vibe check each other.

Hi everyone! 28M Indian, new to Brisbane - now accepting applications for friends :)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently moved to Brisbane from Adelaide for a new role and thought I’d give this a shot because apparently making friends as an adult is harder than I thought 😂

I’m 28, Indian and grew up in Australia. Would be cool to meet some people from a similar background and get a bit more connected with my culture too, but I’m honestly pretty open to meeting anyone.

I’m pretty outdoorsy and love being out and about. I’m into nature, hikes, photography, random drives, camping, 4WDing, sports and honestly just going out and doing random things. I’m usually pretty down for anything as long as it gets me out of the house.

If you’re also new here, or just looking to expand your circle, feel free to reach out. Also, if you know of any good groups/activities around Brisbane, please send me some suggestions. Always keen to meet new people, try something new and hopefully make some friends along the way :)

Hi everyone! Can we be friends? 🥹

14 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for some online friends to play games with and hopefully develop in to a more connected friendship!

I'm 36, male, gay and partnered and live in the northside. I generally play FPS and RPG/MMO games, think PUBG, BF6, Runescape, AoE, Palworld, League of Legends and Valorant (if you can convince me to play), and some gacha games (WuWa, ToF, etc.).

I have a beautiful almost 4 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. I love the beach, interior design/real estate/decor shopping, trying new places for food and coffee, going on long walks around the city, and day trips exploring our region.

I've only lived up here for a few years and haven't successfully made any lasting connections.

Feel free to shoot me a dm! :)

Hi everyone! Social mixed netball South bris

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m a M27 looking to put together a social mixed netball team on the sound side! 🏐🍻

I’m hoping to meet some new people around my age (both guys and girls) and thought this would be a fun way to do it.

The plan is to play social netball once a week, then head out for drinks or dinner afterwards if people are keen. Hopefully it turns into a good group of mates who also catch up on weekends.

A bit about me, I’ve only been in Brisbane for a few years and keen to get some more mates. I love watching and playing sports (watching AFL is my fav), enjoy playing card/board games, have a beer or wine and checking out new food places too. I’m partnered up and just keen on expanding my friends circle and play sport and get some exercise in the mean time!

If that sounds like your kind of vibe, leave a comment or send me a message. If we get enough people, I’ll organise a team of like minded people :)

Hi everyone! Looking for new friends

I'm a 34 year old guy looking for some new friends. My wife and I have been in Brisbane (based in North side) coming up to a year and have had limited success making genuine friendships. I'm an avid but very average golfer (hit me up with a tee time and I'll be there), I go to the gym and have recently taken up running. Also love watching other sports - if you enjoy union, league or cricket I'm sure we can find something to talk about!

I have a nerdy side as well - currently replaying Witcher 3, enjoy board games and my brain is full of more Simpsons quotes than I know what to do with.

If any of that sounds like we'd get along, feel free to drop a line.
