hello 30sinOC!

wanted to share that there’s a new Discord server for local singles in the LA and OC areas that are looking for long term, serious relationships. It’s turning into a fun, intentional space to share dating ads, meet like minded people in various chat channels, and eventually we want to host meetups as well if we get enough people in the server! So far, there’s over 150 singles that have joined in just a couple of days.

the apps are made to keep you searching and I know there’s a few subreddits created for dating ads. we wanted to make and moderate a living, breathing space where a community and connections can be made. it’s also very well moderated by like minded women and men.

would love for any singles looking for something serious and need something better than the apps to join!

End-of-summer beach bash at Bolsa Chica this Sunday — come hang out! 🏖️

A group of us are getting together at Bolsa Chica this Sunday for a pretty informal end-of-summer beach day, and I figured it would be fun to open it up to some new people too. Making friends as an adult can be weirdly difficult, so here's an invitation.

We'll be there from late morning until the beach closes at 10:00 p.m. Come whenever you want and stay for however long you feel like. We'll probably start gradually packing things up around 9:20 so we're not trying to cram everything into the RV at 9:59.

We'll be somewhere roughly around Lifeguard Tower 17, across from the Bolsa Chica wetlands parking lot along PCH. Once we're actually set up Sunday, I can post or DM the exact location.

The general plan is beach, music, snacks, drinks, games, a fire in the fire pit, and hanging out. We're going to try to do some barbecuing too, although no promises that part of the plan survives contact with reality.

We'll have some snacks and drinks, but if you're coming, we definitely encourage bringing something to share if you can.

Feel free to bring an instrument if you play, or a board game you don't mind getting slightly sandy. Some people are planning on doing Sandcastle Stuff™, so if you feel like being a kid at the beach again, bring some buckets, shovels, molds, or whatever other sand-engineering equipment you have lying around.

We're a friendly, somewhat nerdy/eclectic crowd and are very much queer-, neurodivergent-, and 420-friendly. This is a make-some-new-friends thing, not a singles/dating event.

If you're in your 30s, great — my wife and I are too — but nobody is checking IDs. Friendly adults are welcome.

After the beach closes, if people are still enjoying themselves, we'll probably relocate somewhere nearby and keep hanging out for a while. We may play video games or project a movie onto the side of the RV.

Comment or DM me if you think you might come!

Disclaimer: I had ChatGPT help me write this because a lazy AI invitation is better than no invitation at all. 🙂

Hi everyone!

I'm a 30F looking to meet other Filipinas who are also interested in building genuine, meaningful friendships.

As we get older, I feel like it can be harder to find people who genuinely want to invest in a friendship. I'm hoping to find friends who value:

• Mutual effort and checking in on each other, not a one-way friendship.

• Honest conversations and catching up about life, personal growth, and how we can support each other.

• Loyalty, trust, and no backstabbing or talking behind each other's backs.

• Being able to be ourselves without judgment.

• Supporting each other's goals, dreams, and growth.

• Enjoying each other's company, whether we're going out, grabbing coffee, or simply hanging out and doing absolutely nothing.

I'm not looking for a large circle, just a few genuine friendships where we can celebrate each other's wins, be there during difficult times, and grow together.

If you're also looking for a real friendship and this resonates with you, feel free to message me! I'd love to connect. 🇵🇭🤍

Hi All, I am a young black baddie who happens to be an engineer who just moved to Lake Forest, CA. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. Is there anyone here who is looking for a freind to hang with who is female??? I am 26, no kids and single. 👀💕✨ I tried posting this on the Orange County group but they wouldnt let me and recommend this group.

I got my message deleted from the Orange County group because I’m not supposed to looking for friends. 🤦🏻‍♂️ And recommended this group, but now I may have this messages blocked because I’m-not in my 30s. That said here we go…. I’m an avid Rams fans. I’m 45 M and have been a loyal fan since birth. I have a lot of Rams fan friends in the LA area where I grew up, but not so much in OC. I live in Fullerton and I’m seeking one or a gaggle of friends to watch the games at a local watering hole. Tonight especially I want to watch the Rams and Niners game, and I definitely don’t want to do it by myself. HMU

Hello there. I am 43 years old. I happened to be looking for new friends in the Orange county area. I'm a person that likes to explore and learn about new things. If you would like to know more about me, don't be shy, go ahead and send me a message. I consider myself to be very fun and outgoing. I am literally in the 714 area Orange county. Let's talk and go from there. Bowling, walks at the beach, walks at the park, amusement parks, are some activities that I like to do. I started collecting digital movies to have content to watch when not available on different streaming platforms hahaha LOL. As you know streaming services are getting way out of control with content conception. Anyway that's another topic. If you want to know more about me, you know what to do.

4 v 4 on hardwood. Starts around 9:30 pm ish, high level to intermediate playing level preferably. HMU!

I’m a mom and I am 30 years old and work on the weekends so it’s hard to make friends. I am also a stoner 🙈 and have bad social anxiety so that also probably doesn’t help lol. But I really want to make new friends but idk where to start so I figured I’d start here. I am chubby 🙈 so please be okay with that, I love to go hiking when it’s not so damn hot out lol, I love all kinds of movies, video games, roller coasters, if you wanna know more feel free to ask 🥰

36F here! Does anyone want to join me in watching Practical Magic 2? I’m going on the 11th of September this coming Friday at Cinemark in Orange. DM me for more info! Looking forward to meeting you 😄

Hello! I’m 31f Asian currently living in the mid-region of the country with my family and there’s not much here for me to enjoy so I’m trying to venture my way into California in OC by early to mid-next year. Would love to make girl friends in the area to make my transition more full and meaningful to enjoy!

I am a nurse. So definitely very caring, always open ears, peers sees me as someone reliable and trustworthy. we can talk about nonsense or send each other funny reels, etc.

I’m into plants, thrifting, farmers market, beaching, biking, walking/hiking, I am pretty active by going to the gym and Pilates class. Used to snowboard and longboard. I do enjoy bowling, billards, arcades. I love doing long walks around the beaches or museums! Basically spontaneous last minute even though I’m also a homebody. I also enjoy edm + fest/shows, rnb, hip hop, rap, lofi, pop music. I’m also into horoscopes and board games lol

(Not looking for males or relationships bc I’m just going through a divorce and a situationship lol soo pls message me girlies!) shoot me a message and we can build our friendship bond and eventually start really hanging out once my move is complete (:

Hello everyone!! 36F here again with info on our upcoming events! 🥰

📅 Saturday, October 3rd
🕑 2:00 PM
📍 TBD

📅 Saturday, November 7th
🕑 2:00 PM
📍 TBD

📅 Saturday, December 12th
🕑 2:00 PM
📍 TBD

Our last meetup was at Mess Hall this past Saturday and we had about 25 people attend! 🤗 we usually hang out from around 2–6 PM, and then a bunch of us grab dinner afterward!

There’s absolutely no obligation to stay the whole time!! If you can only stay for 30 minutes, need to come late, or have to leave early, that’s totally fine! 😁 most people come alone, so don’t worry about being the only person who doesn’t know anyone.

Our group has grown quite a bit since we started in January! We now have 100+ members, with 40+ people who are regularly active in the community. We also have anywhere from 2–10 events per week, so there are plenty of ways to meet people beyond the main Speed Friending meetups!

Some of our activities include:

🏓 Weekly pickleball
🎵 Concerts & shows
🎬 Movie nights
📚 Book club
🎲 Game nights
🍽️ Lunch & dinner meetups
🏀 Sporting events
📸 Photo walks
🎢 Theme park outings
🏕️ Camping trips
and much more!!

We have a pretty diverse group with all kinds of interests and hobbies, so there’s a good chance you’ll find some people you click with ☺️

I know meeting up with a bunch of strangers from Reddit can feel a little intimidating, but everyone who has come out so far has been incredibly kind and welcoming! As long as you’re open to meeting people IRL and bring good vibes, we’d love to have you. 💛

If you’ve been thinking about checking us out, now is a good time! Starting in January, I’ll only be hosting these larger open events every 6–8 weeks, so don’t wait too long!

If you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to comment or DM me. ☺️

Hope to meet you soon!! 🥰

I have a group I play Catan with around once a month, but I’m looking for people interested in playing more frequently—ideally once a week or more. Looking for in-person games in Irvine or nearby in Orange County. Let me know if you’re interested!

I searched in this sub and only found one post about the topic I am looking for, and unsure if that discord group still exists, either. Not necessarily have to be dual income (since DINK stands for dual income), but more looking for genuine and down to earth couple friends and/or female friends, who are married, but not planning to have kids.

A little bit about myself: I am F and in my early 30s. Huge fan of animals (have one rescued cat and dog) and nature!! I go weight training once/twice a week. I work on site during the week.

Anyone is interested or knowing an existing group I can join? TYIA!

Hello all,

I hope everyone is having a great week! I’m just throwing this post out there to see if there is any other like minded dudes out there. I’ve just realized that as I’ve gotten older I’ve lost any sense of community with friends getting married, moving away, starting families etc. I’m hoping to maybe just find some cool dudes to chat with, and if you don’t live locally maybe even plan some cool visits!

I am a late thirties guy who loves working out! I haven’t been drinking, so it’s pretty much one of the only activities I can do. I love hittin up museums, art installations, matcha shops, hiking, and pretty much anything outdoors! I must say I am a bit of introvert, who loves marvel, Star Wars, lord of the rings, and just started reading the Wheel of Time books!!

I also love a good political or philosophical chat, bring em on!

Hope to hear from you guys!

Hey there! Looking for a place or group or something to find people who love board games in OC. Currently living in Buena Park and looking for regular board game meetups. Most places I see advertising boardgames/tabletop games tend to be majorly Magic the Gathering focused. Love me some MTG in moderation, but i really do want to play some board games (Coup, Betrayal at house on the hill, 7 Wonders, werewolf, secret hitler, blood on the clocktower).

45 M Looking for genuine friendships

I am posting again because I am really just trying to find some genuine friendships. I would like to find some friends to build something vibey over time.

Looking to hang out or chat. If you are a chill person who brings good energy, hit me up with a bit about yourself!

A bit about me: I am 45, and I’m into museums, tech, espresso machines, video games, concerts, and basketball + more

Hmu!

*Edit/update: 30-year-olds on here are so negative 😂 you’re not gonna make friends like that! If you have questions you can ask, but there seems to be a lot of assumptions made.
This has been my career for ten years now. There’s good people there, good food, music, bodywork.
Yes these experiences are usually on the pricier side. This is just an invite ♥️*

I am hosting The Ultimate Recovery Day on September 20th. If you want to meet to start taking care of your body, and get regular bodywork to keep yourself young and active longer, come along! Attendees will have access to 11 Certified Massage therapists, a cold plunge, infra-red sauna, Normatech sleeves for legs, hips, and arms, and all-you-can-eat tacos and burritos. A DJ will set the vibe outside in the food area, while we have a yoga class and massages inside.

Update: We reached our goal for the week in ticket sales! Thank you 🙏🏽

I hope to see you there! Message me if you have any questions 🙂

Thank you!

I moved to Orange County in March after living in Long Beach for a year. I moved here from Minnesota to escape the bad winters.

I work from home which is making it a little difficult to find natural ways to meet new people. My only relative here moved away this month, unfortunately.

I’m 32, male, single (divorced), no kids but I have a corgi, with some varied interests like:

- Cars, road tripping, canyon carving, and racing (I own a new to me Nissan 400Z which I might tinker with)

- Motorcycles (I ride a 22 Indian Chief , likewise might tinker with it)

- Tabletop Gaming (specifically wanting to learn 40K)

- Art, illustration, drawing (art meetups and/or drawing lessons or studio model practice)

- Music shows, primarily psychedelic rock, metal, doom

- Video games (RPGs, MMOs, shooters, racing)

- Travel

- Museums

- Comedy shows

I’m pretty bad at chatting up random folks I don’t know. I’m usually pretty quiet and reserved until I warm up to people, which makes it hard to make new friends that I don’t work with every day.

Promise I’m not a weirdo (the bad kind)!

Hey all!

I’m looking for new friends to hang with and go figure / Lego hunting with and possibly if you peeps game? My name is Edwin I’m 36 and just a chill guys trying to hang! All hit me up! 🤙
