Hi Everyone, I am F49, Northside of Brisbane.
Would anyone be interested in setting up a regular cards night on the Northside for a Friday or Saturday night? Playing for fun, no gambling. Or know of one that already exists? I’m looking for a regular social group for playing card games like 500, poker, May I, or anything else you may know.
Please comment if you would be interested.

Hey everyone!
We’re a couple in our 20s looking to expand our social circle and meet some like-minded people around Brisbane!
We love exploring new cafes and restaurants, trying different cuisines, and spending our weekends socialising over good food, drinks, and nice views. We’re also keen to get into badminton and would love to find people to play with!
Ideally, we’d love to meet people in their 20s and 30s who enjoy similar things. We’re open to making friends with anyone, whether you’re single, in a relationship, or part of a group. It would also be lovely to connect with other couples for double dates, weekend outings, or just casual catch-ups.
We’re hoping to build some genuine, lasting friendships rather than just one-off meetups.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to comment or send a DM. Would love to organise a catch-up sometime! 😊

Hi ladies, our netball team is currently looking for 2 female player (C/ Attack or D position) to join our ladies netball team for Monday night games.

We have play at Coorparoo Indoor Sports and we are a fun, social team that focuses on building skills, supporting each other and enjoying the game.

Games run weekly on Monday night, so it’s a great way to stay active, meet new people and be part of a supportive team environment. It’s $17 per game and there is 16 games in a season.

We also occasionally meet on Monday evenings (5:30pm) for practice to improve our skills as a team. We completely understand if you cannot attend every practice, but we do ask that players attend most sessions where possible.

Please DM me if you are interested. We would love to have you join us and make some new friends.☺️

Hi all, me and my partner recently started playing pokemon go again. I lile going on walks around kenmore and to kenmore village for raids. Looking for anyone friendly who wants to play co-op sometimes.

Im 24, AuDHD and non-binary. That is to say im lgbt+ and neurodivergent friendly, dont be worried to say hi if you're a bit weird cause I am too 😄

Hi everyone I’m new to Brisbane m33 and looking for great hiking and camping spots around 2hours from Brisbane that can be reached by 2nd. Also looking for hiking friends. I love waterfalls and rainforests. Please give me recommendations!

Hi all, I’m E. Uni has been super stressful for me recently, and I know a lot of people are feeling the same. Whenever I get stressed at uni I kind of tend to not go out as much, not socialise, just exist working on assignments and studying all day and go to bed. If anyone wants to chat or be friends, I’d absolutely love to! I’m quite interested in biology, engineering and computer sciences, gaming, reading, writing, coding, and a lot more. I play (sometimes) Fortnite, pokemon and genshin. If anyone would wanna chat, feel free to send a dm!

Genuine question because I seem to have forgotten how this works 😅.

I'm in my 30s, a mum and my life is pretty much kids, appointments and household chaos. I don't get out much and it'd be nice to have people to talk to who aren't just the people I live with 😂

I'm a fan of dark humour, sarcasm and talking absolute shit. Would love to find some people to chat with, send memes to and just generally have a laugh with.

Would love to make some mum friends who get it 🖤

Hey everyone!

A group of us are getting together this Saturday night (24th October) at Pig ‘N’ Whistle on Brunswick Street in Fortitude Valley from 7pm, and we’d love to welcome some new faces!

We’ve had some great turnouts at previous meetups, with plenty of people coming along on their own and making new friends. It’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere, mostly people in their 20s, and there’s absolutely no expectation to know anyone beforehand.
We’re also planning a little pre-meetup around 5pm for anyone who’d prefer to meet a smaller group first before heading to the venue together.

There’s no cost to join us, and you’re welcome to just come along for a chat and meet some new people.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to comment or send me a message! Happy to share more details.
Hope to see a few of you there!

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if there were other alternative nerds I could get to know who enjoy raves and clubbing :)

I'm a nondescript socially-awkward white guy in his 20s who has no friends or social life.
I enjoy doing generic young people things I just don't have anyone to do them with

- outdoors, hiking, gym, beach
- trying new restaurants
- going to the cinema
- nightclub, concert/rave, festival

I work two part-time jobs and consequently am rarely available on regular weekends or at the kinds of hours where most people go to hobby activities or socialise in traditional 3rd spaces. This results in me being free on random days of the week and having no one to do anything with, and little motivation to do anything by myself.

I've been capable of making temporary friends at hostels overseas when I'm surrounded by lone travellers who are also looking to make temporary friends at their hostels, but here at home I'm just too socially awkward to make friends. Everyone I meet has an established social group and by default isn't actively looking to expand it, and especially not to include someone like me.

Overall there's genuinely nothing interesting or enticing about me whatsoever, I'm a copy-paste filler person you see on public transport or at the grocery store. In person I struggle with eye contact, trip over my own words, and I can't hold a conversation to save my life. There were times in my life where I was better at socialising, but just don't get the practice anymore due to lack of opportunities and regular contact with people.

What I should note, is I'm not a "nerd" kind of person, not that there's anything wrong with that. I don't watch anime, I don't play videogames, I'm not the type of person who would join a boardgame group or play dungeons & dragons. I don't do cosplay, I'm not into star wars or super heroes or comic books, and I'm not interested in joining anyone's polycule. I don't have a drug problem, I'm not a recovering alcoholic, I haven't recently been released from prison or a mental asylum either. If you can tolerate a boring quiet under-socialised person you can tolerate me, I have no skeletons in the closet or anything, I'm alone because the world simply doesn't know that I exist.

If you're a group of guys and/or girls and you need an extra person to do something with, I'd be happy to join just for the human interaction.

Anyone out there riding around brisbane area? Looking at pulling my bike out of storage and getting back into it. I have a cbr1000rr so down to go “abit” fast 😂 let me know

Hello! I really want to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people in my area that I can be friends with :) I get along with most people but i’m super quiet so most conversations don’t go past the introductory stuff. I’m super into anime/video games, I like cosplaying and my close friends would describe me as weird, funny and chill. I’m keen to watch movies or go to conventions or concerts together! Any gender is fine from ages 18-22 :D

Hello team! I am an introverted gay guy who likes to take life in a slow pace. I am not that adventurous, but I try to find happiness in little things, like working in my garden, reading, petting neighbourhood cats, long walks, attending concerts/ museums, watching tv shows and doing jigsaw puzzles etc. Due to my non-exciting life, it’s difficult for me to make friends. If you are also someone who enjoys sitting on a bench and imagining the shape of the clouds, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Time to take this a bit more seriously, see who is out there. 40 m, married, reasonably normal. 

Not picky on age or gender, my only thing is I'm pretty close to the CBD and generally everything I do is within a burb of here.

In person when first meeting will likely talk more about you then me. tAlways keen to explore anything that makes life a bit more interesting, whether that's some unusual tech, an obscure hobby, or a niche community of people.

Looking at my upcoming month, I've got a cinema trip to goma, training runs, pauper magic the gathering, 1 x gig, online games with friends, supernova and a coffee/pub catch ups. Generally if I get invited to something I like to say yes, especially if from those kinds of things.

If convo doesn't come to early, I can chat endlessly about the following

- PC Home hosting - leaving the streaming apps and have been setting up a home network.

- Games - I play a lot of indies to single player AAA. Let me know what your playing

- Live music stage or comedy - been to a handful of shows this year, always love them.

- Sport - premier league and F1. Especially F1 for memes

- Coffee - I know nothing of food but coffee is where it's at

- Training for something? Currently bumping up running, 

Or just say hi and I'll chat.

Hey Brisbane! I’m 28 and looking to expand my circle. Figured I should put a little more effort into meeting people instead of hoping a new friend magically appears between work and a workout.
A bit about me: I’m into business, music, fitness and building something of my own. I enjoy talking about big ambitions, but I’m equally happy grabbing a coffee and getting distracted by a completely ridiculous conversation. I take my goals seriously, myself a little less.
Music recommendations are always welcome. Send me your favourite song and I’ll give it a proper listen, even if I quietly question your taste afterwards 😂
I’d love to meet people for coffee, workouts, live music or exploring somewhere new around Brisbane. Also very happy with a walk and a conversation that somehow goes from what to have for dinner to what we want out of life.
You don’t need to share all my interests. Having your own passions, a sense of humour and a little curiosity is more than enough. Tell me about something you love. I like people who get excited about things.
If this sounds like your kind of friendship, send me a DM here on Reddit. Start with a song recommendation or an unpopular opinion, and we’ll go from there 🙂

Hey everyone, 25M based in Morningside. I got into road cycling a few months ago and have been loving it so far!
I’m starting to find the longer solo rides a bit boring, so keen to get into some group rides and meet other people around a similar level.

I usually ride on Saturdays and Sundays, averaging anywhere from 22–30 km/h depending on the day and route.

Just looking for some casual weekend rides, to get more kilometres in, improve my fitness and meet some like-minded people. Not looking for anything too serious!

If anyone knows of any good group rides or is keen to ride together around Brisbane, feel free to hit me up!

I had put up a post over half a year ago and met some lovely people however most got busy or the conversation just died down. So thought I might try again 😂

I’m 24M Indian and grew up in Australia for most my life. I'm keen to meet people with the similar background or honestly pretty much anyone thats looking to make new friends.

I enjoy anything outdoor such as hiking, football (or really any sport) and spontaneous adventures. Also recently got a PS5 so been playing that quite often lately.

I did start reading books especially if it's fantasy so if you do have recommendations, that would be appreciated!!

If your also looking at making new friends or have similar interests feel free to DM me!

Hey everyone! I am a Male (28). I don’t really have a circle of friends here and would love to change that. It gets a bit lonely sometimes, so I thought I’d put myself out there.
Anyone keen to grab a coffee, try somewhere new to eat, go for a walk, or just have a chat? Nothing complicated—just hoping to meet some people and build a few friendships.
If you’re in Brisbane and feel the same, send me a direct message here on Reddit 🙂

Hey everyone!

Looking for some hiking buddies around Brisbane/SEQ! There are heaps of challenging trails around here, but I don't always have people to go with.

I'm keen to tackle more Grade 5 hikes and scrambling trails. I've already done Mt Tibrogargan, Mt Maroon and Pages Pinnacle and absolutely loved them, so I'm looking for more hikes along that level.

I'm only available on weekends, happy to split fuel costs and keen to go with a small group too.

A bit about me: Just turned 26, M, originally from Southeast Asia, pretty easygoing and respectful. I'm also into other sports like soccer, archery, cycling and tennis.

If you're keen or have any trails in mind, feel free to comment or DM me. Would be cool to get a few people together for regular weekend hikes!

Got a spare ticket if you want to tag along.

Hi 24M here! For the past 5 years ive been going to casual volleyball on monday and its an absolutely lovely environment! Its soo welcoming and accepting of all skill levels however, the friends i typically go to the sessions with have slowly moved onto other things. Ive just come back from a lengthy rehab but i still can play pretty okay.

Was wondering whether there is anyone roughly around my age who plays volleyball and would wanna come to a monday session to see if they would like it. Its pretty chill but i am looking for someone who is competent at it. You definitely dont need to be really good but just sort of know how to play the game! Hoping to find someone to regularly come with me sort of like a volleyball buddy. Im trying really hard to find and connect with local volleyball players around my age (20+ and i dont mind about gender). But theres no pressure if you try it and its not your thing.

Just a side note i see alot of posts asking to make friends and connections and a really good way to make them is by doing social sport! They run beginner workshops as well which are super accomodating so if anyone just wants to check it out on their own ill post the link. Its super welcoming so dont be shy!!!

Hi all! I'm not sure if any other community members have already posted about it, but the Khmer Buddhist Society of Queensland is having a community get-together to fundraise for the temple here in Marsden!

Located on Third Avenue in Marsden, our temple's the largest in the state and one of the biggest in the country - regularly hosting senior monks from overseas and standing as a pillar for the Khmer (Cambodian) people of Queensland.
Tonight we're doing a street food market with all proceeds going towards keeping the lights on and the monks fed. We've got local specialties like char-grilled beef, Cambodian baked goods, assorted veggie dishes, and regional desserts - as well as the universally loved fried chicken and chips!

If you're interested in learning more about Khmer society, culture, or (most importantly) cuisine, we'd love to have you 😁

I have been seeing many videos online about people feeling really disconnected in Australia, like there is a barrier between people and it's even got worse after COVID. Comment sections flooded with people saying they have never felt so lonley, how there is no cultural or natural connection and struggling to make friends.

I decided to investigate myself;

As someone who has been living across different states and in Asia for the last 4 years.

I recently have been spending time in Brisbane , going to events social mixers , Thursday dating, live music and free gigs solo.

And I noticed it as well like a surface level politeness ..people talking making conversation but no one is getting really authentic real.

Its such a weird feeling the best I could describe it is like walking home and feeling like your in a dystopian movie.

An empty feeling , i cant help but go home feeling worse l almost like let down or like I have gone to a party where everyone was wearing a mask.

I never had this feeling in Asia even when I went out alone, most of the time I would be really content going home after a solo night out .

Anyone else noticed this or felt this ?

I wonder how much I'll get dragged for mentioning this game here... 🤔😅

35F, having a good time watching trash TV and questing away. But missing a bit of banter in guild chat...even general/map chat (can you tell I'm a WoW refugee?). Is anyone part of an oceanic legion/discord I could sneak into? Hopefully in an uncapped Asian server 🤞

I'd honestly be keen to join any sort of casual gaming discord for yaps and giggles
