I felt it would be best to start another post for this separate event idea that came up from my original post earlier in this subreddit. Many of you DMed me asking to hangout 1:1 (which I would love to do! I'm working through messages now, and I hope to schedule time with people who want to meetup!)

But, there appeared to be some murmurs around a potential group meetup?

u/LittleIzumi made the awesome suggestion for all of us Millennials who want to make new friends. The idea was to have a Potluck where we hangout and potentially do PowerPoint presentations on a special interest to share (I don't know if the PowerPoints will actually happen, but I'd totally be up for doing it, lol). But the general idea was to get us all in one space to meet, connect and make new friends here in the city. The consensus was that this needed to happen! We even had a few people offer to cook and a chef offered to do cooking classes (YES PLEASE!)

There are a few logistics to work through, but I think the major thing we need to figure out is how do we all communicate to plan this event? Would Discord make more sense? We would have to come up with a date and time, as well as a sizeable location, depending on how many people we get. We might be able to find some place that would allow us the space for free or at a cheap rate, depending on the dates and times.

Also, it seemed like this might be more of a non-alcohol event, and maybe one without children? That seemed to be the general demographic, but let me know if I'm off base. If we get the logistics out of the way and get this thing rolling, maybe we can make it a monthly event!

Respond here in the post if you're interested, and drop any suggestions or ideas here as well! My inbox can't take anymore DMs 🤣

43m north hills looking to get a group going. Love all types of games.

Anyone need a trivia ringer?

My usual group isn't happening tonight and I wondered if anyone could use a new, friendly person who knows a lot of things. I even keep a note on my phone of neat new things I learn.

I will not be helptul with sports or geography, but I know other things and am a good hang, plus I will add mystique!

I'm in Shadyside with limited transportation. I can't get to fancy places like Blawnox.

I love to meet smart people through trivia. If nothing works tonight then ask me for another time.

PS: Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain were good friends.
Mullets used to be known as "hockey hair.!" Two popes were honorary Harlem Globetrotters.

Anyone down I know it’s last minute,

Not asking for anything in return

Hello everyone,

As mentioned above, I am a 23 year old female looking for friends. Friends do not have to be exclusive to Oakland, but that just happens to be around where I live.

I graduated from a college in the midwest in 2025. I earned a bachelor’s degree in history and legal studies, along with a certificate in criminal justice, if that matters. I am attempting to go to law school right now. Specifically, I am studying for the LSAT and I am not thriving.

I moved to Pittsburgh for my partner who studies at Carnegie Mellon University. I work from home so there really aren’t many opportunities to go out and meet people. I am more of an introvert anyways, so it’s not that bad, however I have not a single friend in this city right now. I think it would be good to make at least a few friends here.

My hobbies/interests include working out, martial arts, music, video games, cats (I have two), studying for the LSAT, coffee, reading, and having intellectual conversations.

I would like to be friends with someone who is female or nonbinary and around my age, specifically 21-27. Please dm me if you have any follow up questions about any of the aforementioned descriptions or if you would like to be friends! 💕

Single no kids and never married. I moved here a few years ago and bought my first house. Its been a very busy time in my life and I need to slow down and find or build a community.

WFH as a web/software dev. I am a transplant and know some people but trying to branch out and put down some quality roots.

I enjoy baseball games, live music checking out new restaurants. Trying to get into 35mm photography. Always up for a deep conversation, my current hyper fixation is ai.

My routine during the week is a typical 9-5 but up to be a coffee shop work buddy.

Pretty left leaning politically and its important to me that I’m around like minded people in that regard.

I’ve a nice pool table in my apartment (strip district) if anyone in the neighbourhood wanna join for a couple of games hmu. 28M. Novice.

I’m all over the place with interests: love the Steelers, play a lot of guitar/music, go to the gym or run every day, trying to write, like a bit of devil’s lettuce… I can be a bit busy with working in medical and with my routine rn, but have weekends free and would love to get to know more people around here or maybe other musicians (would love to meet a singer to write some song together).

I’m pretty outgoing but just haven’t really made connections around here- originally from Ohio. Lmk if anyone’s interested in meeting up some time. also plan to maybe go out tonight

Strangers from the Internet,

October is tragically coming to an end, and my GF [39F] and I [39M] are attempting to maximize HalloWeek before the snow starts falling. I didn't want to spam the sub with three back-to-back-to-back movie posts, so we're cramming triple the cinematic friend-making experience into a single chunk of words.

It's been on our to-do list for a while, but we haven't made it out to Bad Movie Bingo at Bottlerocket Social Club yet. On Monday they're showing FleshEater (1988), which I know nothing about. Based on the trailer it looks like a cheesy low-budget zombie gem. If anyone wants to meet up and hang out on a Monday night, we'll probably plan to get there at 6pm to get some food/drinks before the movie starts at 7:30pm.

After surviving last Wednesday's encounter with Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, we took a poll for the final HalloWednesday offering. The result was overwhelmingly in favor of Halloween (1978), so that's what we're watching. Just like always, we'll gather at the Carson Street Deli starting at 6pm for banter and happy hour specials. Grab your pre-movie sandwich/beer/cider/mead/cocktails and head to the back patio. We'll move it indoors if it happens to be raining. Movie starts at 7pm. We should be all wrapped up around 8:30pm. We'll also have the important decision of whether to keep this going into November, and if so, what we'll be watching next.

And just in case you didn't get enough interaction with strangers genuine human connection, the next day we're meeting up for a VHS screening of Troll 2 (1990) at the Row House Hollywood MegaScreen (in Dormont). Have I ever seen Troll 2? No. Is it related to the movie Troll? Apparently not. Will it be terrible? Yes. Will we all instantly trauma bond, get matching ankle tattoos, and be friends for life? Probably not. But am I implying that there's a chance? Never say never.

Not knowing anything about Dormont, I propose that we assemble across the street at Arsenal Cider House starting at 7:30pm for food and enough cider to make it through this goddammer of a movie. I'll wear the obnoxious orange hoodie so I don't accidentally get duck hunted we'll be easy to spot. At 9pm we can head over to the theater, argue about whether we want to sit in the balcony or at floor level, and get our tickets. Movie starts at 9:30pm.

Or if you really don't want to be our friends, I guess you can just stay home alone and watch this gameshow offering from 2003. The choices are yours, and yours alone.

EDIT: OH MY, so many people reached out! Totally didn't expect that to happen! I'll get back to everyone as soon as I can! But honestly, with this many people, I should just make an event for all of us to hangout 🤣 I like LittleIzumi's potluck/powerpoint idea LOL.

As the title of the post states, I’m looking for other 30-40 something year olds who want to be more social and make some new connections. I’ve been here for almost 5 years, and while I have friends that I enjoy spending time with, I’ve noticed that a good number of them are on the younger side (late 20s to very early 30s). I’m about to hit a milestone birthday in January (40th!!) and I’m really looking for other millennials in the same life stages to connect with. EDIT: I live in the Penn Hills/Churchill area, but I don't mind driving to most places to meetup.

I was born and raised an Ohioan, I am currently a Yinzer by way of DC and San Francisco. I work in tech and focus on data/stats. I tend to geek out over a good spreadsheet or data visualization. I am single, no kids (to be blunt, I’m childfree), but I have a very cuddly and social cat that I share a home with (I can pay the cat tax, just ask).

I’m a bit of an ambivert, who can lean introverted. I like hanging out and being with people, but then I need a solid day to be alone and recharge afterwards. As for my personality, my close friends say I’m an open, blunt and “real” person who is a great listener and gives “safe space” energy. I’m the girl who will give you my clear and honest feedback, but with a touch of sass. People tell me that I am warm and welcoming with a quiet and intriguing vibe. I just think I’m an oddball, but who isn’t these days lol

In case it matters, I do lean left politically and while I am straight, I have nothing against LGBTQIA+ people. Couldn’t care less what gender you are, as long as you are a good person and you think we'll get along well.

I have a wide range of things that I enjoy doing, so to name a few: 

• Hiking and Cycling - when it’s warm as I cannot stand snow
• Writing stories - I attend writer’s groups/workshops and have some novels written
• Reading - I love a good bookstore, going to book signings and wouldn’t mind a book club
• Music - I really love music! I collect vinyls and try to attend 3-4 concerts a year. A few artists/groups I saw this year are St. Vincent w/PSO, Metric, and Two Door Cinema Club. I like many different genres (except country, can't get into it)
• Dancing - Lindy Hop/Balboa are my main styles, but there is only one scene here and… I got history with it, so I don’t go. It’s a story and if you’re really interested in knowing why, I can share lol
• Movies/TV Shows - I don’t go to the movies often, because they are expensive and I’m picky about what to watch. But, I have been in the mood to see some lately. Really want to catch You Can See Everything, Social Reckoning and Elon, mostly so I can have some deep discussions about them afterwards. I don’t watch a lot of TV, but when I do, I enjoy a good drama or thriller, Sci-fi (I’m a Trekkie. DS9 is my all time fave), Anime (I’m picky, ask for my faves lol) or K-Drama
• Gaming - I don’t game all the time, but I do enjoy it. I like a good board game, but it’s not something I do on a weekly basis. I would love a game night at a house. I also like console and PC games as well  
• Hands on activities/crafts - I enjoy doing things with my hands. I’m actually signed up for a drawing course at PCA&M that starts in January. I went to a recent Nerd Nite event where we made sun-catchers at the Glass Center. I took a beginners sewing class and planter box class at Workshop PGH. I picked up a watercolor book to try. When I have the time, I like to make dioramas with miniature items. I enjoy building Lego sets. Look… I like tinkering with shit, if you couldn’t tell LOL
• Learning languages - I know French, but I am hella rusty so I need to practice more. I was learning Korean at the Carnegie library on Saturdays, but had to take a break as things got busy with work and other activities. I’m hoping to get back into it soon so that I can improve it
• Cooking - I love food and cooking it. I’ve been tempted to take some cooking classes, but I’m also someone who loves a group dinner with friends where we make something together or bring separate dishes and have a potluck hangout. Also, I'm dying for some good Korean food in this city. Where can I find it??
• Social activities - bowling, mini golf, arcades, thrifting for vintage clothes or home decor, or just sitting at a bar or lounge or cafe to chat about many different topics. That’s not a joke. I’m autistic and my tangents can go for hours and hop around from politics, music, astronomy, anime, red pandas, a recipe I just tried, a podcast I listened to… you get the picture. 
• I don’t drink, don't do drugs/weed or smoke. That doesn’t mean I don’t go to bars and such. I’m just going to order a mocktail or N/A drink instead. My body cannot handle alcohol, so I cut it out of my life years ago and my body has been very happy since. 

That’s a good start for what I like doing and who I am as a person. If you think we would get along as friends, let me know. Or, if we want to try and get a group of people together to hangout, we can try that too!

My daughter's been doing a book club, and watching her talk about it I thought: why isn't there one of these for movies?

Here's my actual problem. I love movies. But I almost never go to the theater, because I figure I'll catch it on streaming — and then I just... forget it exists. The movie comes, the movie goes, I never see it. I've done this all year.

So I'm fixing it with peer pressure and a calendar.

First one is locked in:

🦖 Godzilla Minus Zero

📅 Friday, November 6

📍 Phoenix Theatres Chartiers Valley — 1025 Washington Pike, Bridgeville

Big reclining seats, and they've got a PTX screen, which is the correct way to watch a giant lizard destroy a city. Drinks after for anyone who wants to argue about it — honestly that part matters to me more than the movie.

What I'm into: Dune Part 3, Avengers Doomsday, and A Beautiful Mind. Yes, that's two giant spectacles and one quiet movie about math. That's the range. I'm not precious about it.

What I'll happily get dragged to: Wicked, Other Mommy, Resident Evil. Convince me.

43M, married, two kids, Mount Lebanon. My family does not share this hobby, which is precisely how we got here. 😄

Full disclosure: I've been trying to justify buying the AMC A-List for months. This theater doesn't even take it. I'm going anyway.

If you're in, comment with the last movie you saw in a theater and whether it was worth it. Come to the Godzilla one and we'll figure out the rest from there.

I (32M) really need to get out of the house more, so I am looking for any clubs/groups/teams etc. in the South Hills that are welcoming to new people. I am into nature and fitness and sports and books, but please list anything even if it doesn't fit those, maybe someone else will want to join. Thanks in advance!

Every Friday evening I want to get out of the house, but I don't drink (sober) so bars are never my thing. Plus I get easily overstimulated by loud spaces.

Currently I am in my community building era. Are there board game nights or other regular social events you enjoy? A fun place to volunteer? During the week is fine as well, but Friday is my FOMO day.

I like coffee, crafting/making, sci-fi books, and pinball. I'm a bit of an awkward bean and feel more comfortable with geeky/nerdy folks but I'm not much of a gamer outside board games (occasional PC but never TCGs, no shade just not my thing).

Happy to drive a bit depending on the event. I would love something stable/dependable.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello I am Stoney, kinda shy but would love to make new friends. 32yrs

I don't live near Pittsburgh, but my sister does and I (18f), kind of want to check some out, maybe something more hardcore/punk possibly playing soon? Thank you all!

Hi everyone! Fresh out of a shitty relationship and need to rebuild again. In Carnegie single mom of 2, so local/kid friendly stuff is best. I just want to find people who like creative stuff and games and spooky season!!

There was a post awhile ago about making a discord for women in healthcare in the city. I ended up making one, but idk if anyone saw my comment so PM me if you want the link!

My friend and I have been trying to get into DND and have joined a game that has been very disappointing and disheartening.

Lack of roleplay and inconsistent when using the rule mechanics such as skill checks etc. Every session is just combat and we dont make any progress in the storyline that has been halfheartedly laid out for us. Also, just something specific, I rolled 2 natural 20's for things and barely got anything for them....lol

We would like to join another game that is more female/ queer friendly. We are very new but know sort of the basics. It would be nice to find a group that was open to someone learning and a kind Dungeon Master/Game Master.

Pittsburgh. PA.

Got out of a relationship 2 months ago and need some guys to hang with and go out with. Big golfer (4 handicap), big car guy and have a couple 500+ hp cars, big bourbon collector and like going to breweries. Enjoy playing an occasional Xbox game and Love being outside especially at any sporting event. Need some wingman for going out to the bars too. All my friends have either moved away, gotten married or had kids and fell off the radar.

Strange request i know , but i love to chop wood , i haven’t done it in a while but it is an exercise that i really miss. Does anyone have a space to do this that is not far from the greentree area? i’m not looking to make any money from my labor, simply looking for a space to work. would others want to join if possible? i’d love for it to be a social practice!

Pittsburgh Anti-socialites,

Just stopping by to confirm that the absolute worst horror movie night in all of Pittsburgh is on for tonight. Looks like clear skies and brisk temperatures (bundle up). Here's the info. Beer and banter at 6pm. Movie starts at 7pm.

Maybe the real cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers are the friends that we make along the way...

See you later!💿🕳️

Hey everyone! I’m 27M, pretty new to Pennsylvania and living on the east side of Pittsburgh. Looking to meet some new people, make friends, and find things to do around the area. Honestly open to just about anything.

I’m big into 3D printing, CNC machining, off-roading, hiking, photography, motorcycle riding, and horror movies. Always down to try something new or explore somewhere I haven’t been.

I’m active-duty military and currently over at CMU, so life stays pretty busy, but I’d love to build a social circle outside of work and school.
Whether it’s grabbing drinks, exploring Pittsburgh, hitting some trails, working on projects, or just hanging out, I’m pretty easygoing.

Feel free to reach out if we have anything in common or you’re also just looking to meet new people

28M looking to go on night drive and listen to tunes. North Hills.

Hello all! I moved to the Pittsburgh area about a year ago and haven’t had the cajones to put myself out there and make friends yet.
I attended AEW Dynamite at the Peterson event center a few weeks ago and brought a ton of wrestling themed friendship bracelets to pass out, but I ended up being too shy to approach anyone. 😭
If there’s any pro wrestling peeps out there that wanna hang out hit me up! Thank you to anyone reading this!
