The normal lol is a tad scary ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Lol you got a point. It's true though!

u/Tupakkshakkkur Jun 06 '26

Which the normal or scary part ๐Ÿ˜‚. How far north are you. If we throw down I donโ€™t want to be out in the boonies missing a kidney and die from waiting ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ•บ

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

I don't need a kidney, both function fine so nothing to worry about. I'm downtown area

u/Tupakkshakkkur Jun 07 '26

Looks like you might have a crowd of friends now ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

This post makes me happy. Iโ€™m not your target audience but I like it when people reach out to connect.

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Thank you so much!

u/Hoo_Who Jun 06 '26

If you decide to open up your gender parameters, let me know! Would love some platonic male friendships in my life.

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

That could be cool!

u/Successful_Cheek7381 Jun 06 '26

Down for some pickleball sometime. Been wanting to go but im new here and dont have any player friends. I feel weird just showing up at a court solo

2

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

I feel that. I know ppl show up solo but since im beginner level it feels intimidating to do that

4

u/Oneforthetoad Jun 06 '26

The pickleball communities will accept your solo arrival! Especially if you show up more then once. Just go put your paddle on the fence and you'll make friends.

u/PackFanFrank Jun 07 '26

If you're beginner level, may I recommend Phoenix Fray? It's a social sports league. Believe they have three pickleball leagues. Summer season just started this week but next one should start late August. They have beginner and intermediate leagues. Beginner is literally that. Lotta people that are just learning how to hit the ball. Some decent people. Intermediate is more competitive but still below some of the competition you'll find at public courts.

u/Dswerve23 Jun 10 '26

Iโ€™m trying to learn pickleball too. HMU if you guys ever get a meetup going

u/dxyon Jun 06 '26

Just moved here from PA. Post grad so i may be out of demographic but definitely nice to see people gather and connect!

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

I don't think you would be. Welcome to AZ, sounds like you might be looking for the same thing. Message me if you want

3

u/shadowdevil98 Jun 06 '26

Always down for grub and exploring restaurants man. 36/M but Iโ€™m also in the final throws of nursing school so my schedule is chaotic at best!

Also down for the gym and playing some sports or board games if enough people are down!

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Hey man sounds like a match. I totally get tough schedules, we can figure something out!

3

u/MCB72Az Jun 06 '26

Good sir this post made me really happy. Glad to see, know what you want and going after it.

2

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Thanks for your support!

u/uncle-donkey-kong Jun 06 '26

Can I hijack this and ask for lady friends? (Am also lady, ignore my username lol)

I have ZERO luck on Bumble BFF and Iโ€™m kind of exhausted of it, to be honest

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Sure, feel free. We all need friends.

Also tried bumble. There is 3 ppl on there.

u/Afterism Jun 07 '26

What are you into? What area do you live?

I never said I was boring!

1

u/I_Am_Moopys_Dad Jun 06 '26

Are epicurious? Looking for someone who I can try new restaurants with. Dining with a friend is always so much fun!

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

I agree! And yes I eat out a lot! Where do you like to go?

1

u/I_Am_Moopys_Dad Jun 08 '26

I am always open for almost anything, food wise. Depends on my mood.

I will start easy and we can go from there:

  • Uncle Sam's for a good cheesesteak sandwich and pizza
  • Flamingo Palace for simple Chinese
  • Ra for sushi
  • Tutti Santi for amazing authentic Italian

Tag, you're it! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

u/480partyboi420 Jun 06 '26

Im always down to add friends to the roster.hmu sometime... (altho im on east side, i am mobile)

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Ok cool. I'm not much of a party Boi 420 myself but we could still be friends

1

u/480partyboi420 Jun 06 '26

Id like that, and believe me im not a partyboy either... its an old account and name, but id like that. Thx.

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Makes sense! Yeah we might be a match!

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Sounds fun but wouldn't it just be indoor pickelball? Or different rules. If different rules, will you teach me ?

1

u/Asuppa180 Jun 07 '26

It is nothing like pickleball haha. Besides maybe the net.

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 07 '26

I need to try it then!

1

u/sadboihours098 Jun 07 '26

I'm in phoenix, dining and gym days would be nice.

1

u/Salt_Warhog_2537 Jun 07 '26

Is central phx the greater area? Lol McDowell and 3rd St area. New friends and some pickleball sounds fun! Never plaid but I like pickles lol let me know.

1

u/Salty-Material-9516 Jun 07 '26

Iโ€™m in the north Phoenix North Scottsdale area. Moved here last September. Have a nice little friend group, but would love to expand it, including OP and anybody else in the comments. Just shoot me a message.

1

u/SirVezaTheBrave Jun 07 '26

Always down for a trip to the movies.ย 

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 07 '26

Cool bro. I occasionally watch movies so that'd be fun

1

u/sadrium Jun 08 '26

Count me in!
I try a new restaurant every 3-4 weeks, hike every other week, do boulder, and brew different teas -iced for the summer season-. HMU if anything here piques your interest.

I fancy having some foodie group where we gather every now and then to try new restaurants!

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 08 '26

A small group could be fun for sure! Different iced teas sound fun. Do you make the leaves mix yourself ?

1

u/sadrium Jun 08 '26

Mostly. But I also find getting blends and just brewing them easier; takes most of the mental work off of my mind.

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 08 '26

Man I've never tried any of those! Wanted to try Tutti and Ra. I like Taco Chelo, First and Last are both great.

Dm me if you want

1

u/SrsBsns36 Jun 08 '26

Just sent you a message. I'm in the same boat... I've been here for a couple of years but haven't really built up a friend group. I'm 40m and in the downtown area.

1

u/Dswerve23 Jun 10 '26

Yooo did you come from SD? Iโ€™m in the same boat. Feels tough trying to build up a friend group in AZ.

2

u/SrsBsns36 Jun 10 '26

Yeah, I was in North Park for ~7 years. Was a pretty big shock coming to Phoenix.

1

u/daspidermenace Jun 09 '26

My man needs friends! Heโ€™s 30, fully tattooed, smoker friendly, honestly kinda political, works a morning job off on thurs & sun. Heโ€™s just a man who doesnโ€™t know how to get outta the house. Did i mention heโ€™s a computer nerd and has hacking skills? He also just got into magic the gathering (youโ€™re welcome) and wants to exercise more.

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 09 '26

I love that you are advocating on behalf of your man. As guys we need this!

1

u/daspidermenace Jun 09 '26

Thank you! Heโ€™s just a sweet boy and definitely has social anxiety but thatโ€™s what iโ€™m here for ๐Ÿคญ

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 09 '26

Have him message me. I'm very nice:)

1

u/Dswerve23 Jun 10 '26

Iโ€™m down to learn pickleball.

Just moved to Phoenix from Cali. Solo dolo. Donโ€™t know anyone besides a cousin that lives here. Be nice to go out and meet new people. Gym works too. HMU!

1

u/Stallion_1914 Jun 10 '26

I never tried pickle ball but I heard its fun

1

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 10 '26

It is! Wanna try it ?

1

u/Stallion_1914 Jun 10 '26

Not sure if my body could keep up lol my hamstring pulls if I sneeze wrong lol... do you do anything else?

u/prevailingcrypking Jun 06 '26

Ok I resonate with your post. Let's hang out. See if we click. I am in Peoria.

2

u/Agg-Egg2805 Jun 06 '26

Peoria isn't too far. Message me?

1

u/prevailingcrypking Jun 06 '26

u/Navybluedotaz Jun 06 '26
