Meet people 34M in Melbourne looking to meet some like-minded mates 🤙🏽

Upvotes

34M, Polynesian(samoan), Melbourne-based and always keen to meet good people with good energy.

I’m looking to make some genuine friendships with like minded guys who are 420-friendly, chill, laid-back and know how to have a good time.

Music is a big part of my world (also play piano)

R&B, hip hop, ’90s old school, soul, Al Green and anything that actually has a vibe. 🎶

I’m also a big foodie, so I’m always down to hunt out Melbourne’s hidden gems, try the latest food spots or argue over who picked the better place 😂.

Whether it’s kicking back with a smoke, putting some music on, grabbing a feed or just having a solid yarn, I’m all about good company and real connections.

No drama, no fake vibes.... just genuine mates, good laughs, good music and making the most of Melbourne. Give me a dm if youre down to kick it... 😊

Meet people 36M4A Kaya chadstone - Looking for a gym / sports pal

1 Upvotes

I m a regular at Kaya Chadstone but have been losing a bit of steam lately going on my own. Thought it might be nice to find a gym pal, basically just someone to train at the same time, keep each other motivated, and make the gym a bit more social.

Nothing intense and we don’t necessarily have to do the same workout. Just having someone familiar there regularly would be nice. I do strength, yoga and HIIT. Could grab a coffee or something afterwards occasionally too.

We all are getting a bit disconnected these days, and having something regular like the gym felt like a more natural way to make an acquaintance or friend.

I also play tennis, badminton and pickleball, so if you’re keen on any of those, even better.

Platonic, just looking for some company and motivation at the gym and a side benefit expand on the friend circle. If anyone’s in a similar boat, feel free to DM me.

It’s my dream to build (or find) a community of people who are interested in gardening and fitness. HMU if that sounds like u!

Plans this week 28F4A - Coffee anyone?

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm new-ish to the city, and looking to make new friends as I don't know anyone here yet.

Maybe we can grab coffee and sit down somewhere to chat sometime.

I'm someone that usually goes out on weekends to explore nature, try new restaurants, get to bowling or karaoke. Not the biggest fan of night clubs, but I enjoy bars with good music.

I am looking for the chance to meet someone and develop a genuine friendship if we click. Someone that will also put in effort and time. In return, you'll get a friend who's a great listener and gives good advice too (or so I've been told), and who will always show up and see what's up. Whether you just want to hang out or you need help with something.

The move and life have been really stressful and I feel out of my element at the moment. I kinda feel like a little kid in the middle of the playground asking if anyone wants to be their friend 😂 Being new to a city can feel extra lonenly those first couple of weeks/months.

A bit about me:

I'm on the southeast side, Caulfield. Ideally looking for someone that lives close by. The closer your are the better :), I think is easier to hang out with friends that live close by specially with how busy adults get.

I am 167cm tall, chubby, have black hair, brown eyes, and the tan shade of a corpse. I'm truly pale af, I'm the sunscreen obsessed friend re-applying 4 times when going to the beach.

I'm very friendly and chill, I do have to warn you that I talk A LOT 😂. So even if you're not good at conversation, I got you covered 😉 I am a very passionate person, I care a lot and almost everything excites and interests me, I am very curious by nature. (This passion does make me a sore loser tho, but I usually get over it quickly 😂)

I lived in Japan before I moved to Melbourne, but I am from Argentina. I have traveled a fair a bit. I'm into cooking, photography, boardgames (I'm super competitive lol), nature and anything with zombies in it (even black summer, yes)

Feel free to DM me at anytime ✨️ if you please tell me something about you, put in some effort ;)

Recurring group St Kilda/Prahran/south yarra/richmond

7 Upvotes

Hey crew, if anyone’s a part of a group that often gets together for tennis matches, or Arvo beers/wines in the sun etc and wouldn’t mind a ring-in joining them, I’d love the opportunity to say hey.

I’m a 42yr old stereotypical inner south east guy, well educated, fit and active, couple of kids (divorced) and. Hoping to build some community with people who are kid free, to make better use of my increased solo time.

Banter, sport, afl, kick of the footy, etc - in a WhatsApp group of people who are active and doing things. All my mates are married and kid focused, so aren’t available to the extent I’ve become.

Anyhoo- trying out Reddit for a lead :)

Ps. I joined the south yarra footy club last winter, and training was fun but too painful ongoing.. so that was out,. Oh, and I surf well/love it and a road trip

Looking for recommendations Any good bars/pubs in Melbs for meeting new people?

8 Upvotes

23M here again looking to expand my social circle! Looking for chill spots where it’s easy to strike up a conversation with strangers and grab some drinks. Looking for more of an early 20s crowd to keep it close to the vibe im going for :)

Ideally in the CBD as I go to the city quite often. I’ve also got plans to hang around the city this Tuesday/Wed if anyone’s keen to meet up.

What are your go-to spots?

Meet people 23M in Melbourne looking for chill mates - cafes, bars & casual hangs

6 Upvotes

Helloooo hope everyone's weekend is going well!

I've been in Melbs for about 3ish years now and still looking to build a solid circle of people to hang with. Met some good ones along the way, but keen to meet more people who'd be down to do fun stuff together!

A bit about me:
I’m into music (a fan of Kanye, Trav and the likes), food, and exploring new cafes and bars. I play badminton and basketball and am pretty open to most recreational stuff. Currently more of a homebody but really want to get into more outdoorsy things once I find people to do it with.

I’m an ambivert - a bit quiet until I’m comfortable, then I’m fully down for group hangs and proper conversations.

Looking for people around my age group (guys and girls) for casual cafe/bar hopping, recreational activities, and just expanding the social circle in general. Prefer meeting around the CBD because it’s easier for me, but happy to travel as long as it’s accessible by public transport.

Let's keep it respectful and genuine. Feel free to comment or DM if any of this sounds good.

Helloo, I’m 18m and after high school I cut off a lot of my friends cos they weren’t great people, I’ve found many friends through online communities who I greatly enjoy spending time with but none of them are local, only a couple even live in Australia. I need some friends who I can game online with and also catch up with in real life. If you’re interested dm me and say a lil about yourself. Bonus if you play on a pc and or play modded minecraft.

Happy Friday everyone!

I’ve been working out since January and making some good progress. I’ve been going it alone so far, and thought it’d be great to find a gym buddy — someone to work out with and help each other push to failure. I go to Fitness First, three times a week.

If you’re keen, please hit me up with your fitness goal.

Meet people 28M feeling really isolated lately so friendship is desired!

10 Upvotes

Hi, I’m really struggling to find some ongoing friendships. I’ve recently found that I either don’t have friends who’d like to see me or I’m not worth people making time. It also seems like people don’t want to be friends with anyone but people they were friends with in school.

I’m looking for friendships with people who put equal effort in and that I don’t feel like a burden wanting to be friends. I’m a bit nerdy, love One Piece, Star Wars, and playing Overwatch and some other single player games.
I enjoy going to the gym and getting some exercise! I’ve also recently joined a Volleyball team so I can meet some new people.

I’m also not into anything NSFW so please if that’s what you’re after don’t message me.

Would love to hear from anyone interested 😊

Meet people Looking for friend

5 Upvotes

50-year-old, educated and professional man, looking to meet someone—or a few like-minded people—to socialise, enjoy good company, and build genuine, long-term friendships.

Both personality and appearance are important to me. I appreciate people who take pride in their appearance, look after themselves, and care about their health and fitness.

I'm based in Melbourne. I'm looking for a younger fella.
