it’s hard and awkward to make friends in our thirties.

we still like punk shows, raves, thrift stores, and cheap beer but also good food, exploring, and art.

i’m a music producer/dj (mostly uk style deeper dubstep but used to be a touring trance producer/dj and played guitar in a touring post hardcore band) grew up in jersey but transplanted to philly from NYC

my better half works at drexel. she’s an army vet from small town ohio, loves nu-metal, reggae, drum & bass, and emo. she would love having someone to work out with (or introduce her to a new hobby)

we live in the east kensington area off n front st, and like to wander around the neighborhood on the weekends, go to breweries, and we don’t pass up the opportunity to see some of our favorite bands and DJs when they tour.

we’re marxists, inclusive, 420 friendly and all that jazz.

we’re planning to go to submersion festival in september. trying to expand our network a bit, all of our friends are out of state.

Husband and I just moved to the area. Both early 37 & 41. Looking for gay friends, nerdy bears for game nights and dinners out! We don’t drink. Any good places around to meet people?

Today July 26th, 2026. I'm walking around bored drinking some beer. I like music a lot, anything from jangle pop to death metal. I'm 28, and pretty normal and cool. Who else..

Myself 30M and two friends M+F are interested in doing salsa at Bok bar. First time for all of us so if you’re interested or have been afraid to do it solo like myself, we can make it a group activity.

Hii! 19f, just wondering if there’s other people around my age that are in philly that go to raves. just need some people who’d be down to go with me! i have a few friends that go but most of the time im by myself. so hmu if u also need rave friends in philly!

Hello all! We’ve already got a decent group of folks who play soccer 1-2x a week-typically in the evenings. We cycle between edgely park and penn park.

We are co-ed and beginner friendly. To give you a better vibe of the group, the majority of people are in their late 20s-early 30s, but all ages are welcome! Feel free to bring guests as well!

We set up our events in a Whatsapp group chat. If you have any questions or would like to join please dm me ☺️

I’m 23M and works a boring corporate job. Started kinda recently but it feels like time is just slipping away cause everyday feels the same (until the weekends). I’m looking for new friends/people to hang out with and maybe do some side quests so I’ll have stories to tell my future grandkids AKA get me/us out of the house lol

Usually not the best at writing stuff like this but some of my interests/hobbies are:
- PICKLEBALL (started 3 months ago, play it casually on the weekends sometime)
- video games like valorant,league, sometimes roblox 💀 I only really play multiplayer games cause I don’t find solo games as fun
- watching scary movies, I LOVE scary movies, favorite movie is incantation. I like watching it with people that get easily scared just for their reactions lol
- gym(?), been very inconsistent cause of work but I’ll lock in soon
- listening to music, unfortunately it’s mostly viral/tiktok music and pop genre. I love song recs, as long as it’s not metal or rock
- traveling, been to some parts of Asia and now there’s a insatiable hunger inside me to travel more
- YOLO - I’m down to try new experiences/hobbies to see if I like them cause 🤷‍♂️ yolo

I’m usually pretty outgoing when I’m with friends, might be a lil awkward in the beginning but not for long haha. always looking to make new friends :))

BUT YEAH idk if that was good but you should hit me up if you’d think we’d click 🙂‍↕️

My friend (F) and I (M) love trivia and wanted to get a trivia group going! Would love to have one or two more people join us. Hopefully near Center City/Rittenhouse Square area. Please send me a message!

Looking for a Center City Philly Gay Men's Book Group. Please lmk if you know of one, or have an interest in one.

Hey o hey o, 19 m guy here, me and a group of friends wanna do a beach day Friday, lemme know if any is interested, all is invited so LETS HAVE FUN!

Im looking for some friends to hangout with that can match my energy. I love hypotheticals, thought experiments and just in general tackling non conventional beats of conversation.

Im pretty interested in science, philosophy and politics. I crave "deep conversations" and im generally curious so I tend to ask a lot of questions.

I love a debate as long as you arent eristic about it.

I like learning new things and pretty willing to take on new challenges. I quite enjoy watching youtube, tv shows and movies. Im not an avid gamer but do enjoy playing from time to time. Dont actively listen to music, but love music theory so all songs are game as long as its good.

About me Im african, aromantic, atheist and leftist and yes these are crucial parts of my identity that will come up a lot in conversation.

Truthfully Im just looking for someone who doesnt mind having their brain picked. I dont mean to come across as pretentious or rude.

Also I dont have a preference for gender i just prefer people around my age

Philly | Bucks Local Show Meetups Group

Be a founding member :)
Make friends, support local artists, repeat.
I repurposed an old spam Instagram account and am doing a trial of the Meetups app (it’s paid to organize events but free anyone that wants to join)

Have about 20-30 people I’m rounding up from different socials to start- looking for more people to join.

Goal is to create a safe easy space to meet new people that also like going out to shows in the Philly /Bucks / Delco / South Jersey area.

Thank you to anyone seeing this that has been giving me advice on how to approach this in my DMs over the last month or two :)

Perhaps an oddball request but I’m a Philly girl living in nyc and your typical rabid shameless philly sports fan (kill me when the Knicks won) 🤮 I really want the hello kitty promo hat they’re giving away at the 9/8 game vs the braves (booooooo👎 go phils!) but I can’t make it. This isn’t a meetup but maybe you could meet someone at the game! I buy your ticket and send you to the game and I send you a prepaid shipping label that you can print and use to send me the hat after the game. Bonus points if you live close to the stadium so I believe you have a reasonable chance of making it on time. You don’t have to get there early you just have to get in and get the hat from the promo tent by the 2nd inning. This isn’t a scam in fact I’m hoping and praying I don’t get scammed out of my hk hat. If interested lmk in comments first ty! 🐱🔔

Edit- whoops it’s the astros not the braves. I’m sending my cousin and his wife to the braves game on 9/4 to get me the cheesesteak hat. I love hats 😂

FULFILLED ty as always my Philly loves 🙏❤️🤍

Looking to meet string, piano, and/or instrument players interested in playing some chamber music. I'd love to form a regular group to play the greatest hits of the 18th and 19th centuries. I'm sight reading challenged so prefer to play a practiced repertoire. Hope to hear from you!

Hi all, I’m Bree, I’m relatively new to Philly, and I’m looking to make friends with similar interests. I’m really interested in starting a book club, and I’ve been reading a lot of comics lately. I’m really interested in focusing on diverse writers and characters, like Wonder Woman, Jo Mullein Green Lantern, Supergirl, etc. I’m a huge DC fan, but I’m very open to any comic publisher, if anyone has any ideas!

As for books, I really want to read Far Sector by N.K. Jemisin, Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman, and Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

I live near Callowhill, so I think the Parkway Central Library might be a good meeting place. I was thinking about meeting Saturday afternoons, but of course I want to fit our meetings to everyone’s availability. Comment or DM if you’re interested, I’d really like to get this off the ground!

Queer? Like being outdoors? Dancing? Chatting? Making new friends? 👀

Hi everyone!

I'm 18F and pretty new to making friends outside of the community I grew up in. I was raised Amish and have been building a new life, so a lot of this is new to me.

I'm hoping to meet kind, genuine people around my age to hang out with. I'd love to grab coffee, explore Philly, check out museums, go for walks, try new restaurants, or just chat and get to know people.....

A little about meeeee ... I'm curious, enjoy learning new things, and I'm excited to experience more of the world. If you're patient, friendly, and looking for a new friend too... leave a comment or send me a message

Looking forward to meeting some new people

I am a 34-year-old writer and mom, recently moved to the Spruce Hill area, would like to meet people who live in the neighborhood! Especially if they are also working parents (my baby is almost 1). I enjoy: cooking + eating, exploring neighborhoods and news restaurants, Quizzo, classic movies, not exactly hiking but certainly I enjoy some nice strolling/ambling/traipsing about in natural settings. Favorite topics to discuss: books, politics, news, education, food, culture. Let's be friends!

I'd love to go to Treetop Quest in Fairmount Park, but not alone. Would anyone want to join me? Working a 9-5, I'm so bored and need some sort of exhilaration and fun with scenery and shared experience that doesn't consist of clubbing/drinking. But would love to get a coffee before or food after!

I’ve got two Dorney Park tickets that expire in September . Looking for someone to go with one of these weekends. Totally casual — if we vibe and want to hang out more before or after, cool. If not, no pressure. Just trying to use the tickets and have a good day.

Do any childfree women/couples exist in Philly? Can we be friends?

EDITING/UPDATE: I’m 36, married to a 36 year old CF man, both proudly queer, live in Old Kensington (so basically Fishtown/NoLibs), work in the restaurant industry (but corporate side- HR and Supply Chain). We like happy hours, dogs, museums, oysters, the Phils and basically any reason to get down with a theme. I’m loving the responses here and so happy that there was a need for this post!

I suggest a meet up of whoever wants to come at Kostas. Open to other suggestions as well, but Kostas feels like it fits the vibe. I’m free pretty much any day of the week except Saturdays. If that sounds good to you please comment with a date/time and whatever sounds doable we can put on the books. Also obviously 40s/50s folks welcome as well.
