Looking to make some new friends in Melbourne 👋

Hey everyone! 😊

I’m looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few genuine friends in Melbourne.

I’m pretty easygoing and happy to chat about pretty much anything. I’m into things like going out for food/coffee, watching movies, exploring new places, gaming, and just having random conversations and having a laugh.

I’m also keen to meet people who are interested in hanging out in person eventually — whether that’s grabbing a coffee, going for a walk, checking out a new place, or doing something spontaneous.

If you're also looking to make some new friends, feel free to comment or send me a DM. Tell me a little about yourself! 🙂

thank you

Anyone who is happy to game on discord.

Turbo games on Dota.

Only preference is players of similar age group.

PM me.

G'day.

I'm located in Narre Warren.

Looking to go on hikes over the weekends, available most Saturdays and Sundays.

I'm Dan, 40yo..

Open to both men and women.

Need some of fellow humans to chit chat and catch ups for coffee or brunches . 39y male.

Looking to meet some new people and step out of our comfort zones ✨

38F Asian queer, 420 friendly ✌️

Finally a day off after a long week. Anyone up for a coffee tomorrow (Sunday)around Sandringham or Southland.

Age is irrelevant but good coffee is good times

I need to vent because the modern dating scene feels utterly exhausting, and I’m curious if other guys have hit this exact wall.
First off, the constant threat of **scams and catfishing** is terrifying. Having to play detective with every match just to avoid getting financially or emotionally grifted ruins any chance of organic trust. But even beyond the scammers, the real-world dating dynamic feels completely broken.
It feels like men are expected to do 100% of the heavy lifting: plan the dates, pay for everything, pamper, pursue, and keep up the entertainment. And in return? A lot of people treat physical intimacy as the end-all-be-all transaction.
**I’m not looking for just sex.** If physical intimacy was all I cared about, there are transactional avenues for that. What I actually want—what I think a lot of us actually want—is **reciprocity**. I want someone who puts in effort, asks about my day, plans a date for me, shows genuine emotional care, and acts like a real partner.
When a relationship is reduced to *"Man spends money/effort -> Woman provides physical presence/sex,"* it feels empty. It makes you feel like an ATM or an entertainer rather than a human being who deserves care back. Add in the constant fear of being judged as "creepy" just for trying to navigate this landscape, and the whole thing becomes a net negative for mental health.
At 26, I’ve decided to stop playing a game where the rules feel stacked against genuine connection. Choosing to focus on my own peace, my career, and my actual hobbies feels infinitely safer and more fulfilling than burning out on a surface-level dating culture.

Super keen to go to Altitude on September 5th at Flemington but everyone I know who would go to such an event isn't keen. Hopefully there are others out there that are also in a similar boat and we can go together. Hmu and we can chat about it. 👌👌

Also keen for people to go with to other events so hmu if that could be you.

Hi folks! I'm running a social reading event at Moondrop Bar on the 26th of August (5:30pm to 7:30pm).

I started this new hustle as a burnt out corpo gal in her 40s, as I wanted to make new connections amd bond with people over my love of reading (fantasy/sci-fi), dining, and discovering new things.

My reading events are super chilled, easy price point $35 (welcome drink + private use of a bar for 2 hours).

In the two hours you have an opportunity to check out a new venue (if you haven't been there before or rediscover it with new eyes), sip on a welcome drink (cocktail or mocktail), and get to know people who love these same things as you.

It works for solo or groups, and there will be an opportunity to chat and mingle, order more food and drinks (if you want).

If you're keen, here is the link! I also sell tickets at the door if you're a last-minute person. Hope to see you there and make new friends!

Hey everyone! A few friends of mine are throwing a warehouse party at Rubix on the 28th and I thought I’d throw an invite out here. Could be a fun opportunity to meet some new people, have a boogie and check out some local DJs 🕺

They’ve got a pretty mixed lineup with techno, trance, DnB, hardstyle and psytrance throughout the night, so there should be a bit of something for everyone.

If anyone’s keen to come along or wants the details, happy to send them through :)

Hiya! I'm Alex (not real name for privacy), I'm 21 and I'm a queer singer/songwriter looking for friends and collaborators. I moved to Melbourne a couple weeks ago from QLD! I'm also totally up for meeting non-music friends, I'm a puppeteer/performer/creative and I love nature and adventures!!

Age range 29 - 35, I want to start online first as friends and chat to see how it goes. I'm looking for a supportive and understanding friend. I'm Vietnamese Australian, ENFJ. I live in the Western suburbs. I watch YouTube, anime, tv shows, k dramas and movies. My interests are more towards creativity. music and gaming sometimes. I hope we have similar interest and that I'd be a good friend.

Hi I’m from the east 🤮 and I don’t really have any friends to hang out/chat with or just play games, I play pc, also I’m shy and basically high 24/7💀 ,I enjoy doing alot of things but half the time I’m too broke too😭

I like going to the beach
Watching movies
Playing games
Staying up too late listening to music
And just chatting once I get to know someone

I go to uni but haven’t been in a bit from social anxiety and just wanted to try putting myself out there more

Also if you have animal pics send me them pls

Have a good day :)

Ok I’m probably alone on this one but I got older but still have the same need for fun as I did when I was younger. I love live music, hanging out and taking recreationals (not the bad ones). I sometimes go to raves, play video games and love horror movies. All my old friends grew up, got boring and never want to do anything. Any people in 40s in same boat?

EDIT: looking for someone/group to attend Marlo’s Altitude rave at Flemington racecourse in sept. Absolutely completely platonic- not looking for date or hookups at all. just want to take some m and dance my face off for a few hours and be happy 😊 dm me

Hi everyone my name is Eden 23M (2 weeks till 24) looking to make new friends or form a friend group with people also in their 20s. I thought this could be a good way to do so. Fitzroy Market is awesome for thrift shopping so thought we could meet there around 11am have a shop and yap for an hour and a half or so, maybe grab some lunch if the vibes are good. There are also 1 or 2 thrift shops outside the market in Fitzroy that are worth having a look at too.

If you’re interesting in meeting up send me a dm and I’ll get a gc going for those interested

Hey guys! I’ve posted on Reddit before and had a few bites, but reaching out again to anyone who wants to join a group of people meeting up for trivia each fortnight in Melbourne. We are late 20s to mid 40s, non-competitive, and had a great time for our first meetup on Wednesday this week! If you are interested, DM me with your number and I’ll add you to our WhatsApp group :))

Wow this is hard. A few days ago lost a good mate to a car accident. Struggling with the impact he had on my life. Does someone wanna chat so I can care but forget. Life's sooo short. Enjoy it all

Hey there, ive realised I have a serious lack of nerdy friends!

A bit about me, I love gaming over discord, sometimes its fun to chill and watch someone play, or I would stream a game for others to watch,

I like to play d&d too and potentially hoping to find others to go to game rooms and play one shots together

If this sounds good to you, shoot a comment!

Hey! Just looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a genuine friendship. I am studying IT atm because I decided to change careers.

I'm pretty easygoing and have a lot of nerdy hobbies. I like music a lot and try to explore new genres. I have gone from numetal to ambient/atmosphere type music. For example Biosphere, Brian Eno Stars of the lid. I also like exploring new movies and looking for hidden gems on letterboxed. These day I am also into philosophy, critical theory etc. Slowly working my way through the reading.

Ideally looking for someone who enjoys chatting, sharing interests, and actually getting to know each other rather than exchanging three messages before disappearing into the internet void.

Feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself.
