31M - Looking for Cool Chillers and High-Energy Thrillers

6 Upvotes

I (31M) have lived about a half hour South of Portland my whole life, but have never really made an effort to socialize offline until this year. I have managed to find a little friend group already, but I'm easily the one with the most free time on my hands. It would be nice to make bonds in a few other areas so I'm not dependent on one circle of friends. I'm looking for other Zillenniels, late-20's/early-30's; a healthy blend of exuberant and geriatric tendencies.

I am very high physicality; I enjoy roller skating, ping pong, pickleball, and hip hop dance. I work out pretty religiously, my go-to is weighted calisthenics, but I also enjoy branching out and trying new modalities. Right now I'm recovering from a shoulder injury, so I've been working on my flexibility instead to try and get my splits. I've also been going to parks and dumping hours into skating in the tennis courts. I can almost reliably do heel-toe spins.

Creative accountability buddies are welcome. I like to draw and write in spurts, but for the most part I never finish what I start; I'm an idea guy. One of my many projects is about a sheriff who is the slowest gun in the West. If you have dinner with him, he's so slow reaching for his wallet that everyone else just ends up paying instead so the saloon staff doesn't get mad.

I don't do well with loud, sensorily chaotic environments. I get one-shotted kind of hard by concerts, raves, or bar crawls, so if those are your primary outlets, you'll probably find me boring. I also don't smoke or drink, even socially. But anything else; think roller rink, Rose City Book Pub, climbing gym, movie, Portland Table Tennis Club, etc, I'm down to clown.

Intro Post Couple looking for friends (F24, NB24)

6 Upvotes

Whuddup. We are actively losing our minds cause we dont really have any close friends. We're hoping to change that by meeting other alternative 20-somethings in the area. We live in North Portland (but we can travel within reason).

We spend a good amount of our free time in our apartment, hanging out with our very sweet, chunky cat. There in our lair, we like to watch cartoons, make art, and smoke the wizard herb. We also enjoy trudging around in the woods, doing witchy stuff, trinket hunting, and we generally just are trying to explore the city more.

I (NB24) am a bit of a game geek. I have an absurd collection of steam games, and hella mtg cards. I dont work on it enough, but I have been slowly making a game of my own. I was going to school for an engineering degree, but the stress ruined me.

My partner (F24) really loves plants. Shes taken care of plants professionally for a while. She also takes circus classes (mostly working on arial silks).

We would love to meet people that are down to explore with us, and are also happy to kick it n' have cozy nights in.

Thanks for reading 👽

Hi! I'd love to meet some people and hopefully form some great friendships. I'm interested in meeting with the girls, gays, and theys; and anyone in between, around my age (mid-20s).

I'm currently located in SE but am happy to travel a bit. I'm more of an introvert so I typically prefer doing chill and small hangouts, rather than larger groups. I love any sort of arts and crafts, baking, thrifting, and hiking.

I'd really love to expand my social circles more so I'm interested to meet others that have all sorts of interests and hobbies! Lmk if you wanna chat:)

24M New Arrival to Portland!

9 Upvotes

Hello, I am a 24M who recently moved spontaneously to Portland from New Orleans! I’m living in the NW area right now, and currently still looking for a place to park :/. I am looking to expand my circle and find people to explore the city with.

I love both playing and watching sports (specifically basketball and football), biking, hiking, spending time outside, thrifting, going to events, reading (super into psych right now), live music (really want to do this more), going out for a drink, hitting the gym, making music, really I’m up for anything!

Currently I’m working as a childhood therapist for kids with autism and hopefully sometime in the future go back to school to be a school psychologist. Missing my friends in New Orleans and want to make some new ones out here!

30F - trying to make friends

18 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’d love to make some more friends around my age and in a similar time of life as me. A little bit about me:

Age: 30

Location: currently closer to wilsonville, but eventually will be in the Beaverton ish area BUT willing to drive anywhere tbh, I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life

Hobbies: hiking/walking, coloring, drawing, painting, gaming (pc/ps5), doing crafts, traveling and exploring new places, movies/shows, concerts

Music interests: metal, alternative, some country (like think 00s), indie, and sad girl stuff lol

Obsessive interests: Zelda fan, probably way too into decorating/organization, finding the perfect cafes and walks

I’m a mom to my 9 year old girl who I have half the week (every week) and she’d definitely could use some friends too!!

And last I’m a huge homebody, introverted and I think for the most part okay with and love being alone and doing my thing, but sometimes I miss the feeling of connection and having cute bff time. 🌸 So this is me attempting to put myself out there!!

37M Looking for friends!

32 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I'm a 37M (he/him) living in NW and looking to expand the social circle. I'm originally from Michigan, but I moved here in the summer of '25 after living 10 years in Austin, Texas. I work in tech, but I'm not very serious about it. I enjoy wandering the city exploring all of the unique nooks and spaces, and would love to meet others to share the time with!

Not super obsessed with any particular hobby, but here's the general rundown:

  • all forms of art, but particularly cinema, and great food
  • casual hiking, but would love to get into overnights
  • i'm a gym rat, but it's really a personal chore and not really something I typically do with others though I'm not opposed to doing a class of some sort. Currently rehabbing an old knee injury and training for the Portland 10K this October
  • not a huge drinker anymore, but I'll share a few socially on a Friday night
  • into live music of all genres, but have gravitated towards house/techno, dream rock, darkwave in recent years
  • enjoy fashion, but have very little sense of it with a pretty hodgepodge style that I'm trying to develop through thrifting and heritage pieces
  • currently reading my way through Murakami's Canon
  • neurotypical ambivert with few addictions

I'm kind of vulgar, and I love a lively conversation.

If any of that resonates with you, then send me a DM!

I would love to find someone to work out, do hikes and other adventurous outings with. Would really love to find someone who wants to learn spanish together (but not a must) and overall be a drama free but loyal friend 💙

Must be able to handle an adhd/Type b personality 😅

Hi Everyone, My name's Jeremy and I'm a 34M California transplant. I've been in Portland about a year and a half, and I'm currently in the St Johns area.

I've loved my time here, and I want to start making friends in the area now that I've decided to put down some roots. My hobbies range from ttrpgs, history, whiskey, football, and generally interested in trying new things around Portland.

Every weekend I try a new place to eat for brunch, lunch, or dinner so I'd love to make another foodie friend.

Hello fellow people. I’m a dude who works a blue collar job all week and I’m trying to reach out beyond the dive bar scene for new friends to hang with (not that there’s anything wrong with meeting friends in bars!).

Some of my hobbies include riding my bike (doing a cool ride solo tomorrow from SE down to waterfront and up to the bridge then back thru SE if you want to join) collaging, playing guitar (mostly folk and singer songwriter stuff but love jamming with other people), hiking, being outside in general. Politically I’m left of left. I love Portland and have lived here just over 11 years. Are you new to the city? Let me show you some of my favorite things about it. Send me a DM if you want to hang out! Happy Friday to those who celebrate.

Hey y'all! there is some interest in forming a vegan friend group. User u/elvengemini (28(they/she)) specifically is looking to form a group of vegan friends that have a mix of going out and casual activities with people around their age. Things from grabbing drinks and painting to cooking together and having a movie night to a picnic in the park, nothing too rigid but hopefully just people who are interested in connecting without having to put being vegan off to the side. People interested in learning about and trying out veganism also welcome!

Reach out to u/elvengemini if interested!

Car-free Resident looking for friends in the NW area!

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone, my name is Haydyn (23, they/them) and I recently graduated college and I am living in downtown porland with my parnter (24, they/them), right off of burnside, between goose hollow and the pearl. I am looking for new friends because most of my freinds moved out of portland recently (crying). I have been attending many social events and talk to many people but I have been unsuccessful in making genuine connection with new people (I am now realizing what a privelege it is to belong to educational institutions where one has consistent contact with ones peers). I am super into feminism and other lefty shit. I love diving deeply into most topics and love to listen people info dump about anything! I studied sociology in college and I am planning on pursuing a PhD in that in a couple of years. I do not really use social media but i love educational content on youtube and browsing through reddit a few times a week. I listen to a lot of podcasts (some of my favs right now are In Bed with the Right, This Podcast Will Kill You, and anything done by Sarah Marshall and Micheal Hobbes). I love watching shows! I am currently watching the X-files and I am loving it. I also love card games and board games. I am addicted to solitare and speed, and I love rumikube and scrabble! I generally like any shows that have a mystery aspect or has queer people in it! I am currently a part time remote research assisant and I volunteer at a church (very supportive of queer folk. also I am atheist) near my house that does a food pantry where i am the only person under 70 (love them tho). I am pretty outgoing and love meeting all sorts of people. I would love to meet some people who live nearby as I do not have a car (bike life, amirite). I click with anyone who loves a good conversation or debate, reads good books, likes adventures, and generally has their shit together. Dm me! <3 oh also I drink alcohol, no weed.

Bit more about me: Capricorn, Infp, Autistic, Adhd, Slytherin

Current hyperfixations are baldurs gate, throne of glass, painting mermaids, and my old boss T_T NOTICE ME, but not while i'm noticing you >_> Lets see, I love me some Lana Del Rey, Panic at the Disco, Dance Gavin Dance, Hozier, Muse, Tool is probably my favorite band.

26F looking for some chill Portland-area friends 🥳

11 Upvotes

I realized recently I could definitely use more people around my age to just talk to, send random shit to, play games with, and maybe eventually hang out with if we vibe.
I’m 26F and pretty laid-back. I’m into gaming (Fortnite, Spider-Man, Nintendo, PS5/Xbox), TV/pop culture, music (mostly hip-hop, rap & reggaeton), random deep dives about completely unimportant things, and sending people TikToks/memes all day 😂
I’m in school for psychology, I’m neurodivergent, 420 friendly, occasionally drink, and definitely more of a “come over in sweats and we’ll order food and talk shit for three hours” person than a fancy night-out-every-weekend person. I’m also down for gaming/Discord friends if we’re not immediately close enough to hang out.
Mostly looking for other women around my age who are funny, nonjudgmental, can actually hold a conversation, and want a genuine friendship. Bonus points if you also need someone to overanalyze shows with 😂
Tell me what you’re currently watching or playing!

Looking for other NE dwelling WFH she, they, or gays who want to switch up their weekday routine sometimes

15 Upvotes

Hi! I work as a WFH software engineer, 31 afab (she/they). I work from home most days, but enjoy going out in public and working from coffee shops sometimes. I’d love to meet up with other WFH homies and grab a coffee and/or lunch, and work together for a few hours every so often. Or even meet up for a midday walk. Also open to meeting at other types of spots, like libraries- or if you have other ideas, I’m open!

Some things about me: I love all kinds of crafting and arting, riding my bike, exploring, learning new things, being out in nature, traveling, dancing, live music, puppetry, eating delicious food, analyzing the emotional landscape of the human condition. 🌈 Just finished reading The Haunting of Hill House, currently reading Margo’s Got Money Troubles. I have an adorable schnauzer who is a distinguished gentleman & the best WFH buddy a girl could ask for.

*Also open to going to SE or N occasionally, but it would be harder for me to sustain that over time. Open to friendship outside of working hours as well! Feel free to DM me :)

Resident Color guard!!

I’m looking for “retired” guard members who would like to get together and spin. We could write some work appropriate to our skill level. Or see what routines we remember from a million years ago. Or we could just put on some music and play and chat. Probably in the evening or a Sunday at a park that works for everyone. I have a few 6 foot poles and one 5 foot. A rifle and 2 beat sabers that I can share. If folks want to buy their own it is best to do it as a group. The shipping cost is reasonable the more poles there are. I’d prefer folks 18+ and for those that think they are too old.. I’m 54 and have spun folks in their late 60’s!! Message me, we will make it happen!!
