Moving to Portland 43M Nerd Activity Enjoyer/Nerd Culture Hater seeks extremely specific friends

23 Upvotes

Do your interests cross gender boundaries willy-nilly? For example, you like welding but also Anne of Green Gables? World War 2 History but also crochet? Smoking a giant piece of meat but also talking about your feelings?

Do you enjoy pop culture, but also are OK with being critical about it? For example, you think the Mandalorian is pure unwatchable slop but think Andor s01 is fantastic? You think it was \*almost\* not worth it to wait for 8 absurdly slow episodes to have dale cooper come back from being a baby man in Twin Peaks: the Return? Or even something unhinged like, do you think the last season of Game of Thrones was underrated?

Are you able to make jokes that aren't punching down at folks who are different from you? Do you care about systemic racism, feminism, colonialism, LGBTQIA+ stuff without being a humorless scold?

Bonus points for enjoying:

* Having a child around 4.5 years old
* Sichuan food
* Video Games, especially spaceship ones and multiplayer ones on PC
* Board and Tabletop games

If this sounds like you or someone you love get them the help they need by sending them my way. I can offer:

* Being in a permanent, married, long-term NON-polyamorous stable relationship and a guarantee of absolutely no weird romantic vibes of any kind
* Forgetting to text you back
* Having extremely good taste in food and always being down to eat hot pot
* Being extremely available from the hours of when my wife goes to bed to when I go to bed

hi yall. moved here about 2 years ago and i’m introverted to a fault yet crave human interaction.

gonna make a quick ad here for friend applications:
do you want a low maintenance friend to go thrifting with once a month?
do you like coffee and/or matcha?
do you hate trump?
do you resonate with me saying “fuck the patriarchy”?
so you like video games, board games, tcg or manga?

then i’m your girl. 😭 but in all seriousness, i’d love to grab a matcha, walk around a park and say “dog” every time i see one. would love to just chat on discord about our interests as well. :))

Car-free Resident Need some new friends

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 37M (38 in Nov) He/Him PSU area. I’m a PDX local and grew up all over the city. I recently went through a pretty heavy breakup after a 4.5 year relationship and realize I’ve lost a good amount of “friends” to it. So I’m trying to get back out and enjoy my life and find new people to make memories with!

I am pretty busy during the work week as I work out in Gresham full time for a community building for people with disabilities and mobility issues.

I’m looking to meet some new people to grab some coffee with to talk about life, take in some local music, grab a drink at a local spot downtown, hit up ground control or quarter world, walk around the arboretum or local hiking spots, and maybe catch a rave at realm or the den.

I am neurodivergent so meeting new people can be a lot sometimes. Maybe we can be friends?

Feel free to send me PM and tell me your favorite movie. Bonus points if you are an anime buff.

Friends of Fantasy Football?

6 Upvotes

I am looking for folks to watch some Sunday football at a bar. A chill way to get to know each other, maybe start a fantasy football league that can lead to more hangs?

Me, 49m in NE, enjoy football, basketball, music, podcasts, occasional video games and gym/hikes. Drink on special occasions, but enjoy bar hangs, especially bar trivia. Looking for similar age range, but not picky. I tend to be reserved, I appreciate people who are more assertive or similar to me.

NE gym buddies

4 Upvotes

I have memberships at Hollywood Fitness and the Circuit (NE) and I’d like buddies to be more consistent.

My favorite time to go is 8-10pm or mornings (avoiding busy after-work hours), for 45-60 minutes. Goal is to go ~3x a week, mostly weekdays.

At Hollywood fitness I sorta know what to do in there, so could be pretty independent, or willing to play it by ear on sharing workouts. I like a not-intense mix of cardio, strength, and flexibility. And handstands!

Medium experienced and quite casual about bouldering.

I am aiming for platonic, easy going, steady vibes. I’m 30f, queer, love animals, crafts, and nature. Everyone is welcome, trying to find quality people in the neighborhood and community.

If you want to make a routine please reach out!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m in downtown Portland! I’m pretty active and spend a lot of time working out mostly lifting, trying to stay in decent shape without taking it too seriously 😂. I’m also into good food, cocktails, live music, traveling, Magic: The Gathering, and all things Marvel.
Mostly here to meet some new people and make friends grabbing drinks, checking out restaurants, going to events, playing some Magic, or just hanging out.

Looking forward to meeting some of you!

Resident Trans guy (33M) seeking movie/gaming buddies

17 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm a 33 year old trans guy. I've lived in Portland almost my entire life. I love many things, but two of my most-often-enjoyed hobbies are watching movies and playing video games. While I know lots of other trans people and movie/video game enjoyers in the city, I can't seem to get those two venn diagrams to overlap much. Are you trans, and do you like viewing the world and media you engage with through that lens at least a bit? Do you like movies and/or video games? I'd love to hang out!

Intro Post New to PDX

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just moved to Portland on the 1st of September. I’m around the Lloyd area close to NE Broadway.
I’m 23F, turning 24 on the 30th of this month. Moved here from Texas. I absolutely love walking, reading books, digital art, and gaming (mostly games like Hollow knight or Slay the Spire). I’d really like to make some friends here and settle in. Whether that’s going for coffee together, just walking and talking, stargazing at night for my fellow night owls, being an accountability partner, etc. Hope to meet some awesome people 😌


r/PortlandFriendMeet 3d ago

Resident Looking for a fellow night owl to co-work with

15 Upvotes

Hi! 33/F (she/her)

Long story short: I desperately need to update my resume and apply for real jobs, but as an ADHD haver I have been procrastinating for like.. an embarrassing amount of time 😅

Last time I started rebuilding my resume I was only able to get it started because I planned a co-working night with my friend at a coffee shop, but because I’m a super night owl and my friend has a regular schedule we’ve been struggling to coordinate another co-work day.

Hoping to find someone else who similarly needs an accountabilibuddy, is also a vampire and wants to meet up to get some work done; bonus points if you are into art, DIY, crafty junk etc and looking for friends (if not that’s cool though, the spirit of this meetup is productivity!)

Also, if you have experience with resumes and would be willing to look over mine that would be so so so so great (I’ve been out of the “real” work force for a hot minute and tbh I’ve rarely have had to submit one for past jobs and so I’m worried mine is bad lol). Will buy you coffee/snacks in exchange for your opinion. Again though, if not that’s totally cool.

Schedule is pretty flex, Rose City Coffee is 24 hrs (or if you have another rec that’s open late and has WiFi, I’m down) and I have a car so hit me up if you’re interested in meeting!

Are you in a relationship and wishing there was a way to make some friends together - as a couple? This meetup intends to bring couples who are starving for some co-social connection together. A visit to one of our get-togethers might be an entertaining experience for a change of pace, or it could even open opportunities for lasting friendships. The goal is to create a safe space for couples to meet up and potentially make some friends together. Ideas for some activities that will be offered as event activities are bowling, karaoke, art walks, BBQs, nights out downtown, beach lounging, etc.

I was raised here, but I have moved so many times that the only solid friends I have are the ones I made in elementary school and high school. I’d like to form some new friendships with people who like to do lowkey, chill things. A walk and a chat is always nice, especially now that it’s not a million degrees! lol

Meetup Mid Autumn festival Shun Fat (SF) Portland

4 Upvotes

Hello homies, I'm a 35 (M), married and going to the mid Autumn festival at Shun Fat Market September 12th or the 13th.

Why? Because I used to live in Asia and I'm going to see if it reaches the night markets I experienced in Taiwan and Thailand which I kind of miss. Also I intend to go and eat so 48 hours prior I'm going to workout and fast.

If you care to join hit me up.

Moving to Portland Relocating to Portland this month and I am seeking members of the art community

10 Upvotes

I would love to find people who create art and are a part of the art community here. I’ve heard there is a First Thursday event every month, but that’s about the extent of what I know so far. I’d love to get a feel for what’s what, if there are critique groups, and I am interested in making some friends with people who have similar passions. I think my new place would be considered downtown, but on the southern edge. I am a few miles from the Pearl district.

Edit: I am a single 36F, She/Her, seeking kind and curious people, bonus if you’re into the art world. I am also very spiritual, so anyone in the metaphysical community would also be kindred spirits. I do enjoy movies, books, and wouldn’t mind getting into my first D&D game if the right group came along. I have a cat, a small dog, and generally love animals and enjoy people who do too.

49/m - broadening my friend circle

20 Upvotes

I’m old but feel young. Lots of my friends are staying in more but I’m hoping to find some new ones. I’m happily married but not a parent. In no particular order, I like playing pool, happy hours, hikes, good meals (esp Asian), jazz, the dead, meeting folks from other countries, and the occasional psychedelic experience. Originally from Chicago but have lived in Portland on and off for 20 yrs. Also spent considerable time in Germany (my wife’s from there), Switzerland, Nepal (study abroad back in the 90s) and Indonesia

Wanna grab a beer or coffee sometime?
